The Rotary Club carries on its community work quietly but effectively, and save for the annual appeal made at the time of Rotary Fair, the pub- lic hears little of the inside story. Take, for instance, the work done for crippled children. During the last twelve months, 49 handicapped children have been under observation and treatment. Twenty- four of these were crippled from congenital causes and 19 from infantile paralysis. One was a sufferer from tuberculosis, four were crippled from chronic infections and one by accident. Thirteen of these child- ren required operations, and thirty-two appliances, such as leg braces and special boots, had to be provided. All of this work was carried on and financed by the Rotary Club, which made expenditures amounting to $1,546 for this purpose. That was only one phase of the work. The club spent $1,670 in providing a com- munity swimming pool, $1,517 on the un- keep of Rotary Hall and Rotary Park as community projects, $563-00 in repairs to the Red Cross Cottage, gave $100 to the Red Cross Society for its work there, con- tributed $1,000 to the Associated Welfare Societies Funds, and spent $320 on work 'for boys and girls, particularly through the boy scouts and girl guides. Tt would be difficult to find any organiza- tion of eighty members anywhere doing so much for a community, year in and year out. The record is an impressive one, and it speaks well for the manner in which the club endeavors to maintain the Rotary ideals of service. To Promote Health The Ontario department of health has issued a very valuable book in its 1932 health Almanac, which has just been re- ceived in this office. The aim of thip booklet is to supply health information to the people of Ontario, and to relate the many activities of the department, and it does this in a very comprehensive way. The large amount of useful knowledge which it contains makes it a very import- ant hook to have in the home. In the Health Almanac for 1932, there are chapters dealing with such interesting matters as motor vehicle accidents, tourist camps, recent epidemics in the province, maternal hygiene, child health conserva- tion and several score equally as important topics, and the whole hook is rich in valu- able information that should be possessed by the public. The Health Almanac for 1932 is a hand book on health matters that should be in every home in the province; the informa- tion it contains might prove of great ser- vice when emergencies arise. Britain's Drastic Step Great Britain has shown that she is in dead earnest in her dealings with the Irish Free State. On the two major points of De Valera's policy, the British government has intimated that it is going to take dras- * tic steps to enforce the treaty which binds the Free State with the British Common- wealth. First is the determination of De Valera' "to ignore that treaty and abolish the oath of allegiance to the British crown. Britain takes the stand that by thus violating the agreement, the Irish Free State places itself without the commonwealth, and therefore Britain will not recognize the Free State as a party to any agreements: reached at the Imperial Economic Confer- efice. This means that there will be no imperial preferences for goods from the Free State entering Great Britain, and this will, of course, impose a tremendous handi- cap on Irish industries, The second point on which De Valera is obdurate is on the payment of Irish land - annuities, payable to English bondholders, provided 'for in the Anglo-Irish treaty, De says these will not be paid, and the . first payment, of $1.500,000, has been de- * faulted. But Britain has announced its "subscribers. determination to collect by imposing an import duty on 11 Free State goods enter- 'ing the country. By this means, the amounts owing will be made available for the bondholders, at the expense of Free State exports to Britain. These are measures which, from the British standpoint, should be effective in bringing the Irish Free State to its senses. De Valera cannot continue to hold public support when the courses he has adopted result in crippling the industries of his country. He did not realize when he took his stand against Britain, that the mother country held powerful weapons for the en- forcement of the terms of the Anglo-Irish treaty. Now his bluff has been "called, and it remains to be seen how long he will remain adamant in the face of the drastic measures which have been taken by Great Britain. ~~ Editorial Notes The man who predicted that this was going to be a cold and wet summer can say, on the conditions so far, "I told you S0. Chicago in the last few days has more than justified its reputation as the "windy city." The greatest problem of ihe year in many homes has now been solved--with the publication of the promotion lists for the public schools. If your boy or girl can't swim, the in- structors and supervisors at the Rotary Swimming Pool will be glad to give a few lessons. ; Although the Irish Free State to the Imperial Economic Conference has been named, there is no guarantee that it will be able to take an effective part in the conference.

It is a recognition of the greatest crisis in the history of agriculture -in this country. The farmer is get- ting the prices he got 40 years ago, but his costs of living and of production and his taxes were then one-half what they are today. His problems need all the 'sympathetic study that can be devoted to them by churchmen, statesmen, economists and by those city folk who think he is comparatively well off because he zrows food in plenty. The farmer must have money as well ag crops. If he has no money to spend. woe betide the cities and towns where he has been in the habit of spending it, UNEMPLOYMENT CREATES UNEMPLOYMENT (Ottawa Journal) Gross earnings of Canadian railways for March totalled $25,000,000, as against $30,000,000 for March of last year. But as operating expenses in March, 1931, were but $22,500,000, compared with $27,500, ooo in March, 1930, the net position remained un- changed. Many may ask how the railways could manage to get along in March of this year with $5, 000 less of operating expenditure than in March, 1931, They may think that the railways must have been wasting a lot of money last year, or spending it un- necessarily. The real facts, perhaps unfortunately, are quite different. In March, 1930, the number of railwav employees was 145,607, with a payroll of $19,000,000. In March, 1931, the number of employees had drop- ped to 124,000, the payroll declining tq $15,000,000. Thus, while the railways saved a lot in operating costs, it was at the price of 20,000 railwaymen being dropped from employment, with a monthly loss of $4,000,000 in purchasing power. That, the circumstances being what they are, helped the railways, But it wasn't much of a help to Canadian business. The great trouble about un- emplovinent is that it creates unemployment, BITS OF HUMOR "Yes, Smith ought to talk about my being out a lot. Why, I see him in the night clubs twice as often as he sees me." --~ Somebody finds in a novel the inforfhation that "All was gaicty and laughter . . .

These are strange tunes we fashion, O m z shion, y song! Frustrate and bitter, sharp with fury's Fh We who have courted loveliness so long Yet how else can we sing?

GAZETTE, SAYS: THAT advertising is recognized business stimulant. It is the best Jabilizer business can buy. "Advertising is an investment that nets the advertiser good interest. It is just as essential in the devel- opment and operation of a business enterprise as any other factor that enters into the iness--in fact, fs the most important factor. Too often a merchant is inclined to view advertising in the light of an ex- pense, and therein he errs. Advertising is like any other .in- vestment; it must be carefully and judicially handled. A merchant carries a certain line of merchan- dise because it is what the people desire, therefore an investment in that line. The investment is useless, however, unless he makes it known ta people he is carrying that line. The best method of approach to the public is through newspaper adver- tising. And if well placed, readable advertising attracts people to his store, it is up to the merchant to da the rest. If the merchandise is not of a quality people desire, or if his salesmanship cannot deliver when a customer seeks service, the advertising has availed him nothing. On the other hand, if the merchan- disc has the quality and the sales- manship does deliver, the advertis- ing is one of his best investments. Advertising = has demonstrated that it can and will attract custom- ers. No business can successfully operate without it and the bank- ruptcy courts have their files clog- ged with those who believed they could do without it. We are living in the day of keen competition--in the day when the merchant must be honest with his public. The successful merchant is the legiti- mate advertiser who holds the con- fidence of his public. With him advertising is an investment that he safeguards with the same zeal with which he safeguards property in- vestments. If he is honest in one he is honest in the other. AND HE FINDS THAT IT PAYS GOOD INTEREST. AND THE EYES Part "yn Uncorrected hyperopia creates stich a strain upon the eyes that the leakage of nerve force from this means cannot but be noticed. This may lead to a long train of evils greater than at first thought possible, ; Where hyperopia exists about 90 per cent of the cases have a common muscle error whose strain on the eyes {s similar to the eyestrain of Hyperopia ard as this muscle control and the effort put forth to correct tle visuai error are all imposing vp. on the third nerve, it is easy to understand that the lest consider- ed necessary to know the true condition of this pair of eyes is not merely a test of vision. The condition of the musclez and the accommodative power must be known. Unless these powers are functioning harmoniously one with the other, strain is bound to be in evidence. Each of the hu- man organs receive their proper amount of nerve force necessary for their work, when strain wastes this power, some other organ must suffer through the improper distribution, (To be continued) Leaders At The Oitawa Parley NO 3.

"Was standing in hallway when a runaway horse dashed in, strik- ing me with hooves." "Was shaving. Fly lit on nose. Made motion to knock it off and finger got slashed With razor." "Was reciting poetry. Made a Jiolent gesture, fell and sprained hip." "Placed electric fan beside me in bed on hot night. While asleep, moved and stuck foot into fan."

He sug- gested that room could be found at the children's shelter for Mr. Alger, and moved that the clause bé refer~ red back to the committee. Ald. Boddy" and Ald, Bunker, while quite willing to have the re- port referred back to the city, felt that' the best possible disposition had been made of the space avail- able, and said they understood that thére was now no room at the shel- ter for the superintendent's office. sks For Caution 'Ald. Kirby suggested that the council should be careful in doing anything which would turn out the children's aid superintendent, as the society was giving the city the use of the old shelter without charge, and this was something to be con- sidered, unless the council wished to close up the hostel altogether. After some further discussion on the question, the amendment was defeated. Another Objection Ald Harman objected to another clause in the committee's report, recommending that the city engin- cer be appoined as arbitrator to represent the city in the claim for damages by the terants of the city farm on account of the construc- tion of an outfall sewer. Ald. Har- man was of the opinion that an out- side man, not a city official, should be appointed, and moved that the name of L. V, Disney be inserted in place of the city engineer. Aldermen Jackson, Bunker, and Caunt all spoke in favor of allow- ing the committee's recommenda- tion tn stand, particularly on the ground that it was not advisable to incur further expense by having an outside man as an arbitrator. As there wag no seconder to Ald. Harman's amendment, the matter was dropped. : The other clauses of the report, which were. adopted without dis- cussiofi, were as follows: "That permission be granted to S. Rombough, 231 Arthur St. to 'cut down a treg in front of his resid- ence. "That the bill of the Oshawa Pub- lic Utilities Commission of $8.47 arrears on Police Magistrate's office be paid. "That no action be taken regard- ing the Convention of the Dominion Association of Fire Chiefs at Hali- fax, July 19-20-21-22, "In reply to the application from L.O.L. No. 68 for permission to operate refreshment booths. on City property, that permission be grant- ed on the City streets only. "In reply to the petition present- ed by residents on Fairbanks St. asking that a tree on the north- west corner of the street be cut down, that the request be not granted. "That the Engineer be instructed to make a survey of the trees on the streets with a view to having dead limbs removed, the split trees attended to and the dangerous trees removed entirely." W. 8.
