Tr idd , Tepr ive, ~~ THURSDAY, JULY 16th, 1931 UNFOUNDED COMPLAINTS As was expected, the special relief com- : mittee of the city council has found the charges made against Miss D. Farncomb, the city's social worker, entirely unfounded on fact. The committee made a thorough in- vestigation into these charges, and the con- clusion it reached was that the charges were more frivolous than real. About a year ,. when Miss Farncomb was under fire certain individuals, it was pointed out bthese columns that it would be well for ose attacking her to make sure of their before breaking out into verbal abuse an efficient and conscientious public ser- That same advice, apparently, is still 'today. It is very easy to stand back criticize and condemn those who are ed in positions of public trust, but when e criticisms are unjustified by the actu- : facts, then it becomes a more serious tter. {There is no position more difficult to fill these days than that which is at present d by Miss Farncomb, and instead of con- démnation, she ought to have the sym- pathetic co-operation of those whom she is trying to assist, within the limitations 2d upon her by the city council. The mes has on more than one occasion taken é trouble to investigate complaints made t her work, and on every occasion, a gelosure of the true facts has shown the iplainant to be greviously mistaken. Per- 8 it would be well if those who are so id of making these complaints against would do likewise, and probe both sides the story before making charges which tion: REDUCING THE CITY COUNCIL Ald. P. A. Macdonald of Oshawa has brought in a resolution to reduce the size of the Oshawa city council from sixteen members to ten, and in his efforts, he has the backing of The Oshawa Times. Ald. . Macdonald suggests that Oshawa's govern- ing body should be composed of the Mayor, -a Board of Control of four members, to be elected by the city at large; and a council of five aldermen, one from each of the pre- gent five wards of the city, to be elected by a vote of the wards. This is a very reasonable and construc- tive sugestion. There is no doubt that many cities in Ontario are overburdened with ecouncillors. The Whig-Standard has re- peatedly advocated the reduction of King- ston's council from twenty-one members to at least fourteen. We believe that the city would be just as well administered if there were one representative from each ward in- 'stead of three, but as a compromise we are 'strongly in favor of cutting the city coun- cil down to fourteen members. 'Bhould Ald. Macdonald's motion pass the * Dshawa council, it will be necessary to have new Act of the legislature passed. Ac- to The Oshawa Times there is no provision for a Board of Control in cities less than 45,000. In a city of over 45,- D0 the council may elect 4 Board of Con- trol by passing a bylaw with the assent of he electors. The Oshawa alderman's proposal may sound a little drastic for cities of the size Oshawa and Kingston, but he is abso- ly sound in his endeavors to cut down number of members on the city's gov- ng body. The question has lain dor- nt in Kingston for a number of years, having reduced the number of mem- : on the Board of Education, we are nite sure that the citizens are ready for similar movement in connection with the by.

His first ven- life was as a bank clerk in but that appealed little to shane, later on, be borne out by investiga- 2 heard. it in' my bab. him, so he went west and joined what was then the Royal North West Mounted Police. Military life appealed to him, and he saw active service in the South African War from 1900 to 1902, and was given the Queen's Medal with five clasps. For six years he helped to organize the South Af- rican Constabulary after the war, In the Great War he served with distinction, was mentioned in despatches several times, won the D.S.0., with bar, and had the honors of C.M.G. and C.B, conferred on him, as well as being made a member of the French Le- gion of Honor, With all his honors, he al- ways retained a fine appreciation of the service of those in the ranks under him, and was one of Canada's most efficient and pop- ular soldiers. : But to the folks up in Port Perry, whe knew him from boyhood, he has always been "Jim," and always will be, in spite of the high office to which he has been called. A soldier and disciplinarian to the finger- tips, he carries to his new duties a career already spectacular and brilliant, and the choice of the government in making him head of the R.C.M.P. will assuredly be justi- fied by the manner in which he fulfils the responsibilities which have been placed upon him. EDITORIAL NOTES. About the only dangerous thing in nature that has not yet been conquered by man is human nature. Sport clothes are very cool, so long as one avoids sports. The government's decision to buy 2,000,- 000 of wheat and have it milled into flour for distribution in Western Canada should provide both employment and relief. We are still anxious to hear of the feder- al government's' plans for unemployment relief in Ontario. --Dr. Cyril Norwood--Education is like Penelope's web; it must be unwoven and rewoven in each generation. Lord Bessborough--Every country stands or falls by the character of its citizens. Principal William Hamilton Fyfe--What we want is to educate as many Canadians as possible, whatever the work by which they earn their living. Mayor Jimmie Walker--Counting time is not nearly as important as making time count. Other Editor's Comments AS OTHERS SEE US. (Porcupine Advance)) The Mail and Empire suggests ironically that now the war is over it might be well for international re- lationship if we stopped calling a certain nasty dis- ease "the German measles." It is amusing to note the attitude of some newspapers on affairs like this. The Toronto Telegram, for instance, would sternly demand that all forms of measles and all other forms of objectionable diseases be known as "German mea- sles," so that the world might scorn the Kaiser and all his works in all perpetuity. The Toronto Globe would emphasize the "measles" and urge the point that it is the sin rather than the sinner that must be condemned, though to properly condemn the sin the sinner must never be allowed to come into the "preferred class." As for the Toronto Star, that pa- per would promptly struggle to show that the war was really caused by the antagonism displayed by Canada te Germany in naming a very undesirable disease. as "German measles," and thus training children to fear and dislike everything that had a German name, from German milithrism, to German measles BITS OF HUMOR Maude: "What makes you think his intentions are serious?" Mabel: "When he first began to call he used to talk about the books I like to read.' Maude: "And now?" Mabel: "Now he talks about the things he likes to eat." Meeting the local doctor, Brown inquired: "How is the lawyer going on, doctor?" "Poor fellow!" returned the medico, with a shake of the head, "he's lying at death's door." "There's grit for you," commented Brown, "at death's door-- and still lying!" Timkins had the reputation of being a notoriously bad payer, and one day he went to the dentist about a new set of teeth. " suppose," said Timkins, "I can have these teeth by instalments." "By instalments, certainly," replied "One tooth at a time." the dentist, "I thank you for the flowers you sent," she said, And then she pouted, blushed, and dropped her ead ; "Forgive me for the words I spoke last night; Your flowers have sweetly proved that you were right." And then I took her hand within my own, And I forgave her--called her all my own; But as we lingered 'mil the lamplit bowers I wondered who had sent those flowers, BITS OF VERSE A QUEST I jougit lied solitude: Fi a river, t travelled on beside.me with a song.

In our child- hood, most of us learn to greatly dislike the words y 'don't do that", but of course when - we grow up we learn that most "don'ts" have a lot of rea- son behind them. However, some of msg never do learn, - 'For example, there's the man who habitaully exceeds the speed limit. I followed one of these chaps for about 3 miles yester- day on the Lake Shore Road. He didn't. hit less than fifty at any time. Luckily traffic was light. He was indignant when I waved him to stop. "Sure 1 know I wag driving fast," he said, 'but the road was clear and I'm in a hurry." 1 had to explain to him that no man can drive a car at excessive speed and get away with it .... always. You see, in the city a driver runs at a much slower speed and his mind and motions are keyed to that speed, In an emergency he knows what to do, and does it instinetively. Occasionally on the highways he "steps on it" and at the first emergency he's in trouble almost before he knows it. No two ways about it. I know, I've seen it happen often enough. The fast driver always gets his ....eventually, sometimes even through so simple a thing as a blowout. Better slow down, before you get yours, brother. Well, I'll be seeing you. THAT cities that are known as pro- gressive ci attract the attention of investors and homeseekers. Cities that are alive and know it never lose any time in telling others so the waiting world may know it. They tell of the glories of their city and of the many money-making opportunities to be found there. They do not "boast, but deal out cold facts, Every city that is progressive and keeps telling the world about it has a glowing future. Modern cities are facing wonder- ful opportunities, bigger than most of them realize. Now is the time for them to look ahead and plan to quicken that additional prosperity that is so desired by all, CITIES THAT REALIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF BUILDING BETTER BUSINESS AND MAK- ING AND PUTTING BETTER BUSINESS PLANS INTO EF- FECT ARE THE ONES WHO WILL PROFIT MOST.

Jack Hornby Lives Again as Snow Man London, Tuly 16--Rather less than three years ago, a Canadian Press despatch from Ottawa car- ried first word of another trag- edy in the Northland. Mounted Police headquarters had reports of three skeletons found by the Upper Thelon in the heart of the barren land that stretched, be- yond the timber line, between Artillery Lake (northeast of Great Slave) and Hudson's Bay. The skeletons were believed to be those of Jack Hornby and two companions, Missing for two years. Dead of starvation. There were doubts and ques- tionings. Hornby dead of starva- tion? In the country he knew better than any man living? Hornby, who had gone into' the barrens again and again, emerz- ing half-emaciated, only to re- turn. Then, as further enquiries left no doubt, odd details garner- ed in unexpected places, pieced together an almost legendary figure--an Old Harrow boy ven- turing into the barrens for love of the venture, seeking hardship as most men seek comfort, And in tha absorbing pages of Malcelm gWaldron's "Snow Man' published by Jonathan Cape, . Jack Hornby lives, again, He lives not in a biographical catalogue of heroics but as the central fig- ure in a moying theme of adven- ture, This short Englishman with eyes of - "amazing blue" speaking with the speech of the scholar, "chosen, deliberate and softly voiced"--Hornby in his re- finements and sometimes his crudities--passes across the Canadian scene like some roman- tice voyageur of dimly remem~ bered history. And with the aero- plane steadily opening - up the, great Northland, Canada may never see his like again. "I have called this book for many reasons 'Snow Man," " so writes Mr. Waldron. "Obviously, of course, Hornby was of the snowg. Obviously, too, because both Hornby and the traditional snow man were. product ,, of whims. There was another reason for the title. Have you ever thought how futile is a snow man? He is majestic perhaps, a figure for all to admire--but what is his destiny what in his purpose? "There are those of Hornby's friends in the North who cannot reconcile themselves to his going. If they should return to-the Bar- rens tomorrow, they would keep looking for him over the top of the next escarp. Thus strongly did he live and impress his life oun others."
