D, Tresidder, repre- sentative, MONDAY, MAY 9th, 1932. -- i Action At Last In the last few days the federal immi- gration and police authorities have taken swift and effective action in the direction of ridding Canada of its Communist ring- leaders. Men known to have been active in arousing Communists in various centres throughout the Dominion have been sum- marily placed under arrest, taken to Hali- fax, there to go through whatever process of law is necessary in order to rid the country of their presence. Sane-minded citizens, which means the large majority of the people of Canada, will be pleased to note that at last the authorities have taken some action to smother the demon of Communism which threatened to rise up in this country. The stiff sentences imposed on Communist leaders in Toronto started the movement to put an end to this menace. The sum- mary deportation of other leaders is another step in the same direction. It is true that the Communists form only a small minority in this country. Yet, with public opinion in an unsettled condi- tion, and with hundreds of thousands of men out of work and with nothing else to do but listen to these agitators, it might not have taken a great deal to start some- thing which might be difficult to stop. For that reason, the government has taken a wise step in getting rid of the Communist leaders. The only regret is that this step was not taken long ago, but it is better late than never, and Can- ada will have no regrets in parting with these men who have done their utmost to stir up strife and revolution in this coun- try. . The Community Choir Those who have been following the pro- gress made by the Oshawa 5 Borg) Society, ander the direction of Dr. H. A, Fricker, since its organization, nk 'been struck by the wonderful work which is being done by the hundred or so vocalists who are forming the Oshawa Community Chorus. Even Dr. Fricker himself: has been sur- prised at the wealth of talent which has been revealed by thé rehearsals so far, talent which simply needed proper direc- tion to develop it. In the near future, this Fricker Choir, for it is such, is to make its first public appearance in the city. Oshawa has not always supported musical organizations in the way it might have done. The Com- munity Chorus, however, should be an ex- ception. Having had the wonderful tui- tion of Dr. Fricker, it has reached a point at which it will, even in its first year, make a splendid reputation for itself, and will convince the public that the organiza- tion of the Oshawa Choral Society was a worth while movement. Such an undertaking as this, naturally, costs money, and the officers and directors of the society are being hard pressed to finance the project. They are hopeful, however, that when the first concert is given in St. Andrew's United Chuch on May 25, every seat in the auditorium will be occupied, not only by people eager to enjoy the best of music by a well-trained choir, but also to show their interest in the movement to develop a community chorus which will be a credit to the city and to its director. The Thin Edge of The Wedge The recommendation of the special committee of the House of Commons appointed to investigate the workings of the Civil Service Act has been completed. Its most significant recommendation has to do with the appointment of postmasters in the smaller communities of the country. It asks that these appointments be re- moved from the jurisdiction of the Civil Service Commission; and placed under the control of the postmaster-general. In other words, it would once again make these appointments subject to political patronage. There is already a grave fear that this is the forerunner of a general move back to wide open party patronage in all public appointments. True, the report approves of the merit system in promotion, but that does not take the sting out of the fact that thousands of public positions in the post : offices of Canada are to be thrown open to the scheming and machinations of partisan There was a time when the theory that the spoils belonged to the victors was the chief consideration in filling all govern- ment positions. In federal politics that idea was abandoned when the Civil Service Commission came into being, although it still prevails in the making of appoint- ments by the provincial government, To have even the postmasters of the smaller communities converted into political plums is dangerous, in that it opens the way to a return of the abuses which led to the establishing of the Civil Service Commis- sion. Those' who are convinced that the pat- ronage system has no placé in Canadian political life should be on their guard, This return to the old plan by the post office department is only a beginning, and if it is allowed to pass unchallenged it may become the wedge which will split the present system wide open, and leave the fleshpots of office again highly desirable to the followers of the government of the day. Editorial Notes On one hand we hear that the automobile industry must lead Capada back to normal conditions, On the other we hear that normal conditions must return before the automobile industry comes back to prosper- ity. Which are we to believe? The horses from Parkwood Stables in the last week have given Oshawa just as much good publicity as anything has done for a long time, The assassination of President Doumer of France indicates that there are still some uncivilized people in Europe. Now that the government has announced that assistance with direct relief will be continued, the city council will breathe more freely. The drastic action to deport Communists will make the rest of them keep their tongues quiet and their pens dry for a long time. | Other Editor's Comments THE HUDSON BAY ROUTE (Winnipeg Free Press) ; heen understood that route would be a o road built, to provide adequate for the port and the strait, tc on Of Insurance rates that would for the underwriters the saving ortation The first two bat been tought and w + the third is now It cannot be won without the active of the Dominion Government, \ FRANCE AND GERMANY (J.

Blindea in the South African war as a mere youth, he mastered every obstacle imposed by his wounds, achieved high scholastic honors, served with distinction during the Great War, and then became a practic- ing and successful barrister, Lorne Winfield Mulloy was born on a farm near Winchester While yet a boy he. became a school teacher, heing principal at the Navan, Ont, public school, When in 1899 Canada undertook to send a regiment to the South African field of conflict, he en- listed as a trooper. The Canadian contingent entered the firing zone at Bloemfontein and was present in the fighting at Kronstadt, Jo hannesburg and Pretoria. Wounded in 1900 On July 16, 1900, at Reifon- tein, in an effort to dislodge a large party of the enemy from bhe- hind a series of embankments, a small party of Canadians, con- sisting of Lieut, Burch and four troopers, including Mulloy, found themselves cut off in advance of their comrades Although out numbered eight to one, they held an improvised position succe fully, and the enemy finally retir- ed, leaving behind sixteen of their number, but not before two of the Canadians were also cas nalties, Burch killed and Mulloy desperately wounded across the forehead while endeavoring to se- cure an enemy rifle to replace his own, which had jammed, Mulloy groped for a friendly hand through the dark of his sudden blindness and said: "The Boers are getting pretty thick around here, [ cannot see, lead me to some shelter and then look after yourself,' The wounded boy was taken in a gpringless bullock wagon to Jo- hannesbhurg For his actions and example that memorable day, he was men- tioned in digpatches, awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal and a pension of $18 per month from the British Government. Some 25 years later he was put on the pensions list of the Canadian Government. Taken to England, he had the best possible treat- ment, but permanently lost the sight of both eyes, He returned to Canada conquering hero fn 1900 and for a year gave lec tures on the South African cam paign, In 1902 he entered Queen's University, where Principal Gor- don and Sir Sandford Fleming, chancellor, became interested in hig desire for education, ang In 1906 he went to Oxford under a patriotic scholarship, In that hi torie college he was affectionate- ly known as "Blind Trooper Mul. loy.," Imperial Preference After leaving. Oxford Mulloy was drawn into a most frenuous and amazing political campaign in the interests of tariff reform for Great Britain, and he fought for the revision of the imperial preferential tariff when it was heresy to mention such a thing Originally speaking for the tariff candidates of the Unionist party, he many times could have heen a member of the Mother of Parlia- ments, but declined to accept the honor, Then he joined the speak- ing staff of the Imperial Pioneers, an organization 'which stood for tariff reform along lines of imper- fal preferences such as those to be discussed at the forthcoming Ottawa conference, This was in 1910 and some 15 meetings were held, the campaign being cut short by the death of King Ed- ward VII, Mulloy's activities not only had the effect of making a well- known and popular figure, but won him friendships among the highly placed. The members of the Haldane family were among his closest friends, and he was well acquainted "with Balfour, Grey, Curzon, Milner, Bonar Law and others. In England he met the singer, Jean Munro, of Seat- tle, and they were married on March 1, 1911, and returned to Canada. In the reciprocity campaign he worked "strenuously in the Mari- time Provinces against the propo- sals, and his platform magic is credited with having much to do with the defeat in his home con- stitueney of Rt, Hon, W, 8, Field- ing. In 1013 he wag appointed to the staff of Royal Military Col- lege as assistant professor in English, but. he had a love for the military and quickly advanc- ed, His influence among the ca- dets was tremendous and he was happy In his work War Work Then came the war and out of the most strenuous periods in the life of Blind Trooper Mulloy, As a recruiting officer he had no equals, A blind veteran fn those days was an unusual figure, for the casualties in the South Afri- can war had been few and people had not become gurfeited with horror as they had by 1918, By 1916 voluntary enlistment had dried up. RBir Robert Borden con- sidered congcription inopportune for several reasons, chief among them the dissension between Que bee and the rest of Canada, Mul- Joy was dispatched th the French- speaking province on a mission of good will, organized the Bonne Entente committee, and rendered his country yeoman. gervice In 1917, when the United States en- tered the war, Mulloy prepared his famous memorandum s 1pport- ing compulsory military service nd the United Stateg Goverament accepted his advice with well known results, In the Canadian election of 1917 Mulloy was ex- ceedingly active in the interests of the Unionist party and has been termed by Hon, H, H, Ste- vens, now minister of trade and commerce, as "the father of Un ion Government." He was, said Mr, Stevens. on December 15 1917, "perhaps the first man in Canada to make a definite move towards Union Government, na- tion-wide in its scope and influ- ence, "Following this activity, he took up repatriation work on the part of soldiers veturned from overseas, and again was eminent. ly successful After the war he turned to law, had a most remarkable career at Osgoode and wag called to the bar in 1922, practicing until the time of his death, In Iroquois, on the St. Lawrence, where he pub- lished the Iroquois Post, he was active in sporting, fraternal and community welfare work, "How fine he wag; how he lav- ished himself on great causes." morning, Mistress: "1 shall be going out this Mary; do vou think I shall need an umbrella?

Many growing in health and strength may remove the color in a subsequent change 'of lenses.

ROHDE Chief Engineer, Champion Spark Plug Co. Selecting new spark. plugs during Champion National Change Week is not a hit-or-miss matter of merely taking the first plugs seen in a dealer's showcase, Every car owner who follows the prudent practice of replacing his spark plugs during Cham- pion National Change Week May 9 to 16---can find the right type for his car by examining a chart with which hig dealer can supply him, This year, too, the problem of choosing the right plug has been simplified, for Champion has a new and' patented plug suitable for any one of a wide range of car engines, This new plug has a core of special design, to make it suitable from the low point of engine heat range to the high point, and at the same time pre- vents engine stoppage from the two main causes of spark plug failure, which are fouling hy sont or carbon and pre-ignition, Ever gince spark plugs were first used it has heen the hope of designers to perfect a type In which the sparking points wonld be carried directly into the gas stream In the combustion cham- her. Engineers have recognized that this ideal plug, if it could be realized, wonld provide a greater range of service and at the same time would reduce the possibility of both pre-ignition | and fouling inherent fn spark plugs of conventional design | when used under abnormal con- ditions. The first spark plug of which we have any record, the one used In Lenoir's gasoline engine built in 1859-61, was of the projected core type and numerous experi- | mental plugs of gimilar construc- | tion followed it. None of them was successful for the reagon that no Insulating materia] then known would withstand the ex- treme conditions existing in the firing chamber of an internal combustion engine, The new and patented core Champion spark plugs have a broader heat range than has heen available in the past from any one plug. In practice they have heen found to give a noticeably better performance at all speeds. It is urgently advised that a complete change of all spark plugs be made at least onee a year or after 10,000 miles of driving use, The best of plugs lose efficlency after that time and experience has shown that they cost more In wasted gasoline and ofl than would cover the cost of new sets, OLDEST POLICEMAN | IN QUEBEC RETIRES | | Quebec, May policeman has after 51 years Sergeant Quebec's retired on of servic Ferdinand Bus joined the force here in April 18K], when there were few men to patrol the city, and he served under num- erous police chiefs | Four policemen sho t wether | have served a total of 164 years on | le the force have now turned in their unite the last notice of their retirement or made yesterday. oldest | | pensior | | rmy for | geant jereg (4 | the meni rector t have deci | 5% Paid on Debentures hued for one to five years, CENTRAL CANADA IPAN AND SAVINGS KING AND COME, S78.
