TUESDAY, JULY 7th, 1931 HELP NEEDED HERE It is to be hoped that in its desire to x 3 Sameliorate the serious conditions which un- ---- ERATE a ---------- TRE KL doubtedly exist in Western Canada, the Dominion government does not altogether loverlook the plight in which many of the industrial cities of Ontario find themselves "at the present time because of lack of em- | "ployment. It is admitted that conditions in the west are bad, and are accentuated "by the fact that many of the municipalities d it impossible, from a financial stand- int, to give any assistance to families 'which are in distress. This makes the ac- "tion of the Dominion cabinet, in giving first "consideration to these western communities "highly commendable, and no one will find 8 any fault with the policy of granting a gen- "erous measure of assistance to these com- "munities. "On the other hand, the needs of cities like Oshawa are great, and will have to be given consideration by the government. Despatches from Ottawa indicate that there is a tendency on the part of cabinet ministers to minimize conditions in this province, and this may lead to a neglect of the problem in the industrial centres. From (1 . the standpoint of Oshawa, this would be a i «hard blow. From what The Times knows of the plight of the unemployed, and The Times +has always been sympathetic to, and has given all assistance possible on behalf of the unemployed workers of the city, the situation here is one which demands gov- i ernment help at once. Mayor Marks and the city council have done all possible, up to the present, to impress the needs of the city on the provincial government, and there is an assurance that this information will be passed on by Premier Henry to the Dominion authorities. But there must be p lessening of vigilance or pressure to se- cure relief assistance. "Even if such meas- ures are based only on the same principles as those enacted last fall, they will be of immersurable help to Oshawa. But there must be governmental consideration, in a generous sense, of the requirements of the situation in Oshawa and other Ontario cities, and while the west is deserving of all the assistance that can be given to it, On- tario's needs also demand attention on a l scale, and that fact should be 3 ht very forcibly before the notice of he federal government at the earliest pos- ble moment. . A TERRIBLE RECORD Ontario's record of accidents during the t week has been a terrible one. In the e of seven days, 113 people died tragic hs, and more than half of these were e result of drowning accidents. Strange ay, only ten were killed in automobile aps, which provides some comfort, at since it shows some signs of improve- gent in driving on the highways of the pro- vince. Over sixty of the week's victims lost 'their lives while seeking respite from the intense heat in the waters of the rivers and Jakes of the province. It is, perhaps, diffi- . cult to say how many of these lives could i have been saved by just a little extra care. 'None of the ims, it is safe to say, had any idea of danger on. entering the water. ut as some vital point the margin between afety and danger was passed, and death e long list of fatalities for the week be a stern warning to the people. of vince, old and young. It .should em that rivers and lakes, while in- in their coolness, are treacherous, that it is always wise to have a good rin of safety in entering the water. It a long time since Ontario has had so a week from the accident point of May it be a long time before it agin J to publish another re- 80 terrible in its toll of young lives. A HUMANE ACTION » Times publishes today a letter from E. B. Grigg, past president of the wa Humane Society, which is worthy tore than passing attention. Mrs. Grigg, } great lover of dumb animals, has placed By. a tap in the side. drive of her house a ter-pail for the convenience of horse drivers, so that they can, at any time they ; water their horses, In these hot _this ds a great boon to the animals, from the heat just as much as' iman beings who drive them. ig is a little act of human kindness h could very easily be copied by all citi- fhe VIEW. zens. It only requires placing a water-pail alongside the hose-taps at the side of the house, so that drivers can secure water for their horses at any time. Most drivers would appreciate a service of this kind of which they could take advantage, and it will cost. the average householder so little, in proportion to the kindness done, that there should be no hesitation on anyone's part in providing this small, yet valuable, convenience for the horses. EDITORIAL NOTES Oshawa's fife and drum, and flute bands did well in the competitions in Toronto on Saturday, and are to be heartily congratul- ated. : Weddings in June of this year were far below the average in number Perhaps the young folk are a little dubious about taking a chance in these hard times. The immunization of children against disease in Oshawa has been so effective in the last year or two that the present cam- paign should be very acceptable to the parents of young children. Work has at last been resumed at the subway. Let us hope this project takes care of a large number of the unemployed. Last week set a record of tragic deaths in the province of Ontario. The intense heat apparently drove away all thoughts of cau- tion. The Toronto Globe is in agreement with Canadian Postmasters that the raw potato flavor of mucilage used to gum postage stamps should be improved and suggests strawberry flavor for red stamps, mint for green and lemon for yellow.

BITS OF HUMOR AS WORDED The classic example of the double-entendre is the reply sent by Disraeli to an author who had sent him a copy of his latest book. "Dear, sir," Disraeli wrote, "I thank you for your book and can assure I shall lose no time in reading it." A similar, tho inferior reply was that of the gen- tleman who wrote, "I have read your book and much like it" THE PROBLEM College Girl: "I'm trying to send a telegram to my boy friend, refusing him a date next Saturday night." Another: "Well, why the puzzled expression." College Girl: "How can I gay 'No' in 10 words HOW COME? Hubby--Isn't dinner ready yet, darling? Wifey--In just a minute, dearest.

D, (Copyright, 1928) AA EYESIGHT, EDUCATION AND EFFICIENCY--PART "9" From the standpoint of the worker, his vision is of vital im- portance. If a piece of work is worth doing it is worth doing well. Many errors exist where no discomfort is met with, this applies in short sighted cases. However, those cases where dis- comfort is found will be forced to seek correction earlier and will appreciate it on account of his increased efficiency as well as for the comfort. It is surpris- ing the number of people who wear bargain counter and mail order glasses, but mostly, these are the less interrigent types of the general public. When they experience a proper examination they are, however, through with the bargain for good. Education to the public of the evil practices of of the fly by night peddlers and those who are not prepared to do so should be more wide- spread, When a little thought is- given even the layman can see the wisdom of having a properly fit- ted frame, the proper examination and correction under personal supervision rather than by mail. the necessity of knowing why a correction is necessary. The Op- tometrist studies these and many other problems and is in a posi- tion to make recommendations to employers as also to the employ- ees and from his experience ad- vise of the dongers likely to arise by being asgoclated with certain work. The question may arise, Why is this work best Jan- dled by Optometric methods? In reply I will say that Knowledge of refraction is necessary. Many cases needing attention are miss- ed by superficial methods of ex- amination as used where a knowl- edge of refraction is not in evi- dence by thie examination meth- ods. (To be continuel) THAT many times have we had occasion to mutter angrily at the attitude of those who parade their lack of love of the beauties of na- ture by building high bill boards on dangerous corners where there is no obliging officer ready to direct the traffic, Nowadays the users of the roads are subject to many attacks of nerves at dangerous comers on ac- count of bill boards nicely placed so as to obstruct the view of the mo- torists. When you come to them you signal loudly by means of your horn, you hesitate and draw gently to a standstill, you start slowly, nervously, toot your horn as an in- dication that you want to turn the corner and, hearing no signal in reply, you put your faith in what- ever fates there be and then plunge into the abyss, not knowing what will happen.

TRAGIC LEGACY OF WAR MENTAL GASES Britain's Army of 100,000 Wrecks Due to War Service London.--Thirteen years after the war Britain has a tragic army of 100,000 ex-Servicemen who have become mental wrecks as the result of their sufferings. The astounding increase in the number of mental patients was re. vealed to a reporter recently by the ex-Sefvice Welfare Society. This post-war charity runs two large homes for such cases and hag helped thousands of men whose nerves have been shattered by the war to pick up the threads of life at an industrial centre in Surrey. "The number of ex-Servicemen afflicted with neurasthenia and mental breakdown has now grown to at least 100,000, according to the latest information in the hands of the society," said Mr. E. Howard, the general secretary in an exclusive interview, "The way in which this tragic army of war wrecks has increased is shown by the fact that in 1919 there were only 2,500 ex-Service« men in asylums; today there are more than 6,000. These, it must be remembered, are only the very worst cases. "It will come as a shock to many that even the Army of post- war years has its mental cases. I am advised that in 1928 there was a disquieting number of cases of neéurasthenia and nervous hysteria in the regular forces. "Although 13 years have elaps. ed gince the war, the demands made upon the society have grown to an alarming degree. We are now getting hundreds of appli- cants for treatment by every post." Although the Soclety's activi- "ties are pearcely known to the ' public, the ex-Servicemen under its care are maintained at three of the most beautiful country houses in South-East England. Each of them is set in magnifi- cent gardens and park lands, The finest of them is Eden Manor, Beckenham (Kent). With its extensive lawns, acres of flower beds and fine timber, it 'has been well-named. Many a patient it has housed has conquéred his die- abilities and become a useful citi- zen again, COMMISSIONER PETER WHITE REPORTS COMBINE (Continued from page 1) ing that the following 'are part- fes or privies to or knowin, as- sisted in the formation or opera- tion of the combine within the meaning of the Combines Investi- gation Act": Famous Players Canadian Cor- poration, Limited, and following affiliated theatre companies: B & F. Theatres, Ltd.; Eastern Theatres, Ltd.; Premier Theatres, Ltd.; Mansfield Theatre Com- pany, Limited; United Amuse- ment Corporation, Limited; Thea- tre Holding Corporation, Ltd.; Hamilton United Theatres, Ltd.; B, C. Paramount Theatres, Itd.; Radio Keith-Orpheum (Canada), Limited; Paramount Publix Cor- poration; Motion Picture Dislri- butors and Exhibitors of Canada, and the following distributors; Canadian Educational Films, Limited; Canadian Universal Film Company, Ltd.; Famous Lasky Film Service, Limited; Fox Film Corporation Limited; R, K. 0. Distributing Corporation of Canada, Limited; Regal Films, Limited; United Artists Corpora- tion, Ltd.; Vitagraph, Limited; Tiffany Productions of Canada, Limited; First National Pictures, Incorparated; Warner Brothers Pictures Incorporated; the latter three being United States com- panies distributing through Vit- agraph, Limited, and the other distributors being companies in- corporated in Canada. The report states further that there are a number of other com- panies and individuals which might be properly included in this list but who are so closely identified with Famous Players that it appears unnecessary to name them separately. Counsel for the Dominion Gov- ernment at the hearing of the Commission were: A, C. Helgh- ington, K.C. and B H. L. Sym- mes. Strachan Johnston, K.C., appeared as counsel representing Famous Players Canadian Cor- poration and related companies, Other counsel in the case were J. R. L. Starr, K.C., for Motion Pie- ture Distributors and Exhibitors of Canada G. W. Mason, K.C, and F. C. Carter for eight com- panies distributing films in Can- ada M. H. Ludwig, K.C., and L. Rosenfeld for Columbia Pictures of Canada, Limited; G. M. Wil- loughby for B. & F. Theatres, Limited, and Arthur W, RoelLuck for Mrs. Joshua Smith, editor of Canadian Motion Picture Digest. In the conclusion of his report Mr. White states that: "Under its present manage- ment, Famous Players does not appear to me to be conducted with quite the ruthless disregard of the rig¥ts of others. and of the public interest, as was for- merly the case; though the pre- gent manager Is, however, still under the direction of the Tnited States interests who controls the Company. As an Illustration of how far things are still carried, it miht be mentioned that, failing to agree with the distributors on the length of protection or clear- ance periods, a demand haz been made for protection for periods very much jn excess of anything heretofore contemplated or de- manded." COMMUNICABLE DISEASES WERE FEW IN JUNE (Continued from page 1) among the people in the homes, by their knowledge of the amount of this work now being done, and, more especially by the advice given by the District Nurses when making home visits, Eventually, the par- ents avail themselves of the oppor- tunity presented for having children immunized. This they secure either by attending on their own family physician, or either one of the Clin- ic services. . "There are now 173 pre-natal cas- es under supervision by the Public Health Nurses. This month physi- cians have reported 17 new cases-- this includes cases first found by the Nurses when making home vis- its and later reported by the Doc- tor. "At the present, we have 116 cas- es of Tuberculosis under observa- tion. One new case was reported this past month. One case was re- ceived in Western Sanitarium. "Owing to our work in the schools this year not being completed as early as in previous years, and a special effort having been made to complete the routine medical exam- inations and vaccinations, etc, in school age children, we have not been able to carry out as many medical examinations among pre- schooliage children as previously has béen our custom the past three years, in the month of June. How- ever, 73 pre-schools have had com- plete physical examinations, In this group of children, 27 showed no defects whatever." Red "The Red Cross Cottage at the. Lake opened for this season's wotk, June 22nd. We have been able to find a complete roster of children to keep the cottage busy for the season. "There are now 28 children placed at the cottage under the care of Mrs. McKenna, the nurse in charge. All of these children have been im- munized against Diphtheria and Scarlet Fever and Smallpox. A few have had either one or gther of the disease. : "It is our routine custom td accept only such children as are protected against these three diseases for at- tendance at the Cottage, PAST DISTRICT "GOVERNOR IS WELCOMED HERE (Continued from page 1) fellowship with their fellow busi- ness men. The fundamental plank of Rotary is fellowship, and I would urge you to make the most of it in your club." The speaker then gave some pointed illustrations of what the fellowship committee of the To- ronto clug was doing, and recounted some amusing reminiscences of Ro- tary conventions and conferefices to illustrate the value of fellowship. Touching on the sixth object of Rotary, international service, the speaker said the whole world should be a great family within the brother- hood of man, and he pointed out that if this were taken more serious- ly, the world would not only be a better place but a more prosperous place. George Hart, in an eloquent tri- bute to Past Governor Buchanan, expressed the thanks of the club to him for his inspiring address. Among the visitors to the club were Bert Applegath, immediate past president of the Toronto Club, who spoke briefly, bringing greet- ings from the Rotarians of his city, and also mentioning the splendid work done there by the boys' work committee. E. C. Hodgins, a former member of the Oshawa ¢lub, now living in Kingston, was also wel- comed as a guest.

Numerous sales are being carried on at the nresent time by the re- tailers in an effort to get business. These appear to be bringing satis- factory results for the larger stores. The lumber 'industry is' very much the same as during the past few months, although extra orders are being received at the present time. Building and construction work is /| being carried out somewhat but is still below normal. The tourist crease in turnover. Seasonable lines | MEDICAL EXPERTS AT HAGUE PARLEY World Military, Marine and Air Corps Units Represented The Hague, July 7.--At the Hague during the third week of June the medical services of the military, marine and air forces of the former Allied and neutral lands met in conference for the sixth time since 1918. This "In ternational Congress for Military Therapeutics and Pharmacy," now firmly established as a bi- ennial event, has previously been held at Brussels, Rome, Paris. Warsaw and London, so that with ite fame as a suitable place for international congress, as well as the fame of Holland as a medical country. The Hague could scarcely be passed over in this occasion. Moreover the chief of the Dutch military medical services, Major General J. C. Diehl, had not yet received all the honors which were due to him for his services as a neutral Red Cross officer during the Great War. Reckoning the Union of South Africa, the Irish Free State and the Commonwealth of Australia as separate nations, about 30 countries sent a total of 100 dele- gates and 400 unofficial attend- ants who are directly interested in medicine as doctors, dentists or pharmacists. Official reports on a number of important medical subjects were made by the delegates from the United States, Holland, Yugo- slavia, France, Italy, Rumania and Poland. One of the most important subjects, "neuro-psy- chiatry," was introduced by Pro- fessor W. F. Lorenz of the Uni- versity of Wisconsin. Another, "The Immediate and Remote Ef- fects of the Great War on the Nervous System," was discussed bv Dr. Phalip B, Matz, of the Vet- eran"s Bureau at Washington, and still another, on "The Psy- choneuroses of War," was pres- ented collectively by Mejor Pat- rick 8. Madigan, Major Cleve C. Odom and Major William C. Por- ter, of the Reed General Hospi- tal. Still more important to the doctor practicing in peace among civi"-n patients was the report of Dr. Smith Ely Jeliffe dealing with "The Immediate and Re- mote Effects of the World War or. the nervoug System---Psycho~ pathology and War Residuals," To the layman also there was much in the "Historical Exhibi- tion of the Hygienic Services" that was interesting and instruc. tive. Striking Exhibits Although Poland, France, Hol- land and England had the largest shares in the exhibition, Belgium Norway, Finland, Portugal and other participants in the congress all had interesting problems to demonstrate, while, fortunatelv seeing the special attention she has given to the subject, Germ- any also was prominently repre- sented, The Nicest Gift "Jin's birthday!" exclaimed Gwen. "I know what he'd like!" She went to the teleplione and sent her voice a thousand miles away. Jim was' delighted. "You couldn't have done anything I like more," said Jim, 'Hooray for Long Distance!"
