FRIDAY, JULY 31st, 1931 OSHAWA HONORED Now that the complete iterinary of Earl Sand Countess Jellicoe during their visit to "Canada has been published, it is seen that "Oshawa has been specially favored. Within "the last few months, requests have come "from scores of places all over the Dominion Uthat they be included in his tour of the country, but only six cities in Canada ap- "pear on the list, two of these, Quebec and "Montreal, being in Quebec province, and "only four in Ontario, these being Ottawa, "the capital of the Dominion, Toronto, capital 'of the province, Niagara Falls and Oshawa. "Owing to the extensive and intensive pro- Sgram which has been arranged for Earl "Jellicoe, Oshawa is fortunate in having him hy this city for over twenty-four hours. © Had it not been for the fact that the pro- Yvincial convefition of the Canadian Legion Lis being held here in August, it is far from likely that the Earl and Countess would "have been coming here, so the credit for "this honor to the city must go, in the first "place, to the delegates from the Oshawa "Branch of the Legion, who, at the last con- 'vention at Hamilton, put up a successful convention. But this is "more than a Legion affair, this visit of Earl "and Countess Jellicoe. It is a community "event of much importance, made more sig- * nificant because of the distinguished party he is bringing with him, and because some 500 or 600 delegates to the convention will be here at the same time. Earl Jellicoe's visit is now less than a month away, and in the meantime, the citl- zéns should be preparing a splendid wel- come for him, and for all the other visitors who will be here. Oshawa has never be- 'fore housed an event to equal this great oc- casion, and it should be observed with due a formality and ceremony. . PROBLEMS OF RURAL SECTIONS i Because of changing economic, social and religious conditions in the rural sections, many problems, some of them perplexing, are mow engaging the attention of the "United Church of Canada. This week at _ the Ontario Ladies' College a group of over sixty men and women from the rural places "in all parts of Ontario, are in session study- ing these problems, and endeavoring to find satisfactory solutions. These men and wo- men, prominent in the religious life of their Syespective communities, are vitally con- | cerned because they see so much to be done 'not only for those with whom they come in contact and are associated with, but in Canada at large. "The advent of the automobile, the radio, the introduction of labor saving machinery, construction of good roads, and other things 'modern have brought about many economic and social changes in Canada's rural sec- + The' cry "back to the land" is losing its jhificance because with modern machin- in use fewer men are required and they 2 not to be found in the fields. The farmer today demands the same edu- eational facilities as those provided for his o and he is getting them. Cars, Li vbr and the need for educa- "tion in the science of farming, have created ind satisfied these demands. Then there. is the change that has, come "about in the rural church.

It was the story of a discharged con- vict, who, after his return from the penit- entiary in Kingston, had made a great ef- fort to keep straight but, unable to secure work, and in dire need he turned to Chief of Police Draper for counsel. The chief had a friendly conversation with the man, found out his 'troubles, and promptly set to work to find him a job, which he was successful in doing. The man went to work, and is now on the way to earning an honest living. : This. incident shows how fine a concep- tion Chief Draper has of the functions of a police chief. He is taking upon himself, in many cases besides this one, their re- sponsibility of reclaiming citizens who have strayed on the wrong track, but who are anxious to get back. The chief's own ex- pression of what it means is worth reading. He said :-- "It's a long, hard climb anyway, and the decent thing is to give a fellow a leg-up and say nothing about it." This is more than doing the decent thing. It is a worth while work of social service, an effort to keep men who have once fallen foul of the law from ever coming back into court again® The reclamation and restora- tion to useful citizenship of those who have been law-breakers is one of the finest things that can be done for any country and any community, and it would be a splendid thing if there were more people willing to take the attitude adopted by Chief Draper in his dealings with men who have once gone astray, but are anxious to follow paths 2 honesty and diligence, and to "make EDITORIAL NOTES Rl ad It must have been quite a shock to the Toronto newspapers to find that the girls they reported as being drowned were mere- ly having a holiday in their own city. Premier Henry promises an early start on the northern highway, with from 8,000 to 5,000 men employed." But we have been hearing promises for a long time. One of the difficult things in the ideas of Labor men like Mr. Heaps is that it will be hard to convince employers that they should pay eight hours' wages for six hdurs' work. Atlantic steamship fares have been greatly reduced. But that is not much comfort to those who stay away from ocean steamships because they know they are go- ing to be seasick. Belleville's voters were evidently of the opinion that Oshawa had set a good exam- ple for the rest of Central Ontario. There are scores of towns and cities in Ontario that will envy Oshawa its privilege of having a visit from Britain's Admiral of the Fleet. The world's record non-stop flight is now 5000 miles, but even that record will prob- ably be beaten before long.

This is uct to be overlooked because it was just found that the decrease in some cases had reached 25 per cent. So important indeed has this become that it is no longer a detail. Lighting engineers and oxperts play an important part in construction of plants and fac- tories in how to remove glare from its effects on employees and so in time completely out of industrial life. Yet glare affects 25 per cent and eye defects are proven to affect approximately 40 per cent of school children and as high as 75 per cent of the people of mature life, Industry has been unselfish in its expenditure of large funds to improve conditipns for its work- ers because by so doing it speeds up efficiency again, Did you ev- er stop to think that yours might be a very selfish interest wu you realize that 40 per cent of industrial eye conditions In necad of correction originated in pubMe school Tife, (To be continued) TORONTO HAS FIRST CONGRESS National Recreation Associ- ation to Conduct Confer- ence in' October Toronto, Ont.--Mayors of the principal cities of Canada and the United States have been invited by Mayor Willlam J. Stewart of Toronto, to attend the Canada- United States Recreation Con- gress which meets here Oct. § to 9. The conference will be con- ducted under the auspices of a Canadian committee and the Na- tional Recreation Association which has its headquarters st New York City, and which has sponsored 17 similar annual ga- therings in the States, This is the first of the organization's meetings to be held in Canada. The premiers of all the prov- inces and governors of the states have already been invited to the Congress by Hon. G, 8. Hemry, Premier of Ontario, The purpose of the Congress is the exchange of recreation infor. mation. Topics will embrace mu- nicipal and county parks, play- grounds, winter sports, camps, physical education, school recre- ation, rural recreation program- mes, industrial recreation, girls' athletics, music, drama and hand- craft. 3dian mayors read in part as fol. ows: "For some years various cities in Canada have been sending del- egates to the United States to at- tend the annual Recreation Con- gress, a gathering interested in community play and recreation. This year a group of our citizens were successful in arranging to have the Recreation Congress de- cide to meet in Toronto, Canada, Oct. 5--9, 1981. "This is the first time we have had such a meeting in Canada and those in charge are particu- larly eager to have a representa. tive attendance from all parts of Canada to the end that there may be not only a general ex- change of information between onr citizens and visitors from the Urited States, but also that the Congress may result in a further development of the play and rac- reation movement in Canada.

These experiments have two definite objectives: First, to design a machine that will spray gas into the air without allowing any of it to enter the airplane, en- dangering its occupants; and sec- ond, to devise means of protect- ing ground troops from the gas. Thus, as in most forms of war- fare, offense and defense are be- ing developed concurrently. The present experiments, officers said, may be considered an out- growth of the peacetime practice of spraying agricultural parasites with poison from airplanes, not- able in cotton fields. Another pre- cedent was seen in the use of smoke-screens by rum-runners, Not Used In Tests Because of obvious dangers, mus- tard gas itself is not being employ- ed in the present tests. Aviators are using innocuous gases smoke. However, officers expect no difficulty in employing mustard gas in an apparatus which will meet the requirements of safety and efficiency, Officers said that while mustard gas is not the most dangerous gas known to science, it is one of the most effective in battle. Tt settles to carth quickly and lies for long eriods in depressions. It causes esion of the lungs and burns where the body comes in contact with it. If the army tests are successful, and playgrounds, recreation, and other leisure-time activities." an entirely new mode of warfare will have been developed, officers said. Both airplanes and gas were employed in the Great War, but not in conjunction, The new means of fighting, it is understood, prob- ably will be confined to attack on bodies of troops and not against cities, where it would be less effec- tive because of the protection af- forded by buildings. The gas would be sprayed out of airplanes in liquid form. On con- tacting with the air it would vapot- ize and settle to earth, Under the Geneva protocol of 1925, the United States and 46 other nations undertook not to employ poison gas in warfare. However, this document has never been rati- fied by the U.S. Senate, until it is, it will not be binding upon this country, ENGLISH TEAM HAS SAILED Cadet Rifle Marksmen to Attend Ontario Pro- vincial Meet (By The Canadian Press) London.---- Representing more than 15 Euglish public schools, a team of cadets under Major W.
