FRIDAY, JULY 8, 1932 At r-- 'Disappearing Diseases t is interesting to note, in the report of the Oshawa public health nurses, in today's issue pf The Times, the comment that is made on the fact that scarlet fever and diphtheria have disappeared from the list of. communicable disease reported in the city. These two diseases, in past years, were among the most dangerous and pre- valent of communicable troubles, and caused a great deal of concern to the health authorities of the city. The fact that they have disappeared from the report has not come about by chance: It is the definite result of the policy of disease prevention which has been in the forefront of the work of Dr. Ti W. G. McKay, medical health officer and his staff. The program of immunization against these diseases, and of vaccination as a preventative of smallpox, is the reason for this happy condition. People have be- come educated to the value of immuniza- tion through the efforts of Dr. McKay, and its results are now readily apparent in the freedom of the city from the diseases mentioned. It is worth a great deal to any city to have this condition exist among its people. The value of good health, and especially of immunity from diseases which might be- come epidemic, cannot be measured in dollars and cents. The cost of one serious epidemic of scarlet fever or diphtheria to a city like Oshawa would be a great deal more than the entire cost of a whole year's upkeep for the city's department of health: That is an angle which is very often over- looked when people are apt to complain about the maintenance of an efficient health department. Its work is preventa- tive, and as it maintdins the good health of the community, so it is saving money for the citizens as individuals, as well as in the mass. Dr. McKay and his staff are to be com- plimented on the success which has attend- ed their persistent efforts to stamp out communicable diseases. It is not easy to educate people to new ideas, but it seems as if he has succeeded to a remarkable degree, and Oshawa should be proud of what has been accomplished. ; Hiking In Britain Hiking, or tramping, has become the popular recreation in Great Britain. Thous- ands of people have organized and joined hiking clubs. 'Hostels for hikers have been established in out-of-the-way places, for the convenience of those who spend their leisure hours tramping along the highways and byways; over the hills and down into the valleys. One organization in particular now boasts of over 13,000 members, who indulge in. periodical hikes all over southern Eng- land. Founded upon the system previously , established in Germany, where walking or J 3 hiking has made astonishing strides during recent years, the organization is intended to foster interest in pedestrianism as a healthful and enjoyable pursuit and to furnish cheap yet satisfactory accommoda- tion for those who take to the road. The strength already attained by the movement proves that, under such auspices | there are thousands of Britishers, men and women, young and old, who are ready to spend their holidays on foot and who are greatly improved in health by following such a practice. Of course, hiking in England is different from what it would be in Canada. In this country, when one thinks of hikers, the thought is of those tramping people who stand by the side of the highways and make frantic signals for a "lift" to passing © motorists. In England it is different. The people there really walk--miles and miles in a day--and the results are proving so astonishing beneficial from' the standpoint of physique that the movement has be- come wildly popular. We could do with such a movement in Canada, for in this country the means of vehicular transporta. tion have become so casy that a real hiker would be something of a curiosity, 4 . are encouraged by the change British Sportsmanship The other day, at Henley, on the Thames, England, a great crowd of British sports- men cheered to the echo as a German scul- ler won the coveted Diamond Sculls. A de- cade ago, such a thing would have been considered impossible, for at that time the war sores were still open, and the enmities were too recent to permit of German parti- cipation in British competitions. But these ten years have wiped out the animosities of the past, and have brought about a re- cognition: that the language of sport is universal, coupled with a fine exhibition of British sportsmanship. Britain, as least, is one country in which a foreign athlete can be sure of having his prowess recognized and acknowledged. There need be no fear of Gar Wood trickery or Sharkey-Schmeling decisions in Britain. There sport is recognized for what it is, and not for the amount of money it will bring to its promoters. There athletes of all na- tions are welcomed, and can be assured of a square deal. That is what has made the phrase "British sportsmanship" mean something in the world. That is what has made it possible for even a German sculler to win the plaudits of a British crowd as he won one of its most coveted trophies. Editorial Notes The report of the supervising public health shows that the city, through that department, is doing a considerable amount of social service work. Those whose holidays have yet to come are hoping that the summer rains will soon be all over. We have already had nearly enough to last the whole season. Officially, Germany is being absolved of guilt for the Great War. But the guilt will still be there, just the same. Looks like a big day in Oshawa on the 12th. The citizens should help it along by making as generous a display of flags as possible. | other Editer's Comments | JOHN BULL'S COMEBACK (Toronto Globe) The Bank of England hag reduced the bank rate from 2% per cent, to 2 per cent. Not for over thirty years has the the rate been equally low. Na- turally, business and financial circles in England Cables declare that "jublilation swept the financial district." Brokers wege reported as "swamped with orders" for gilt- edzed bonds, Not since 1894, when a similar rate was put in effect, has anything quite similar hap- pened. It has been anticipated for some time that the British Treasury would soon stage a giant bond- conversion transaction whereby the war bonds now in the hands of the public would be exchanged for others of later maturity and lower interest rates. In this way the Chancellor of the Exchequer hopes to lizhten the load on the shoulders of the tax- payer. Yesterday's lower bank rate was interpreted as a preliminary move to prepare the market for this national bond-conversion scheme, which was oi- ficially announced last night. To Canadians the news iq fresh evidence that John Bull is staging a steady, strong comeback.

Gilbert, of light opera fame, was always full of whimsies. At the Garrick Club one evening he made the astounding statement that Shakespeare was a very obscure writer. His statement was im- mediately protested by most of those present, and he was asked to prove it. "Well," said Gilbert.

"It's perfectly clear. Here's a man, a great lover of the feathered songsters, who rather than disturb the caroling of the little warbler prefers to go through the intense pain of thrusting himself through a thorny hedge. But I don't know that passage. In what play does it occur?" "In no play," said Gilbert, "I've just invented it. And jolly good Shakespeare, too!" --New York Morning Telegraph.

Other cities are good places in which to make a living, but poor places in which to live. The ideal city is the city that makes itself a good place in which to live and make a living. A city without payrolls has a hard time keeping step with pro- gress and prosperity, Citizens should patronize home industries and help to build pay- rolls, for what helps to buiia the industries of the home city helps all. The business of a city cannnt go ahead when the initiative and enterprise of its business men are hampered by distrust and lack of support of its citizens. A city cannot go ahead when its citizens spend their money in some other city, keeping money from circulating at home. Money spent at home builds the home city --- money spent away from home builds some other city. Progressive citizens think of the home city first. WHEN YOU SPEND YOUR MONEY IN SOME OTHER CITY, THAT CITY GETS THE MONEY AND YOUR CITY SUFFERS. WHEN YOU SPEND YOUR MONEY IN YOUR HOME CITY, IT STAYS AT HOME AND WORKS TO KEEP YOUR CITY HEALTHY.

The final result of:her dict- ation was the clpsing of foreign markets and' the raising of high tariff walls, which action was fol- lowed by Canada, so that interna- tional trade came practically to a standstill. Mr. Connor asserted that (Canada was in the position of being flooded with goods but her people were starving and unless radica changes were made, there was no hope tor the Dominion. Fears Fascism Outbreak Unless changes were made in the social order, Mr. Connor charged, all the rights the people hid won during the last hundred years would be lost and fascism would break out. Indeed even to-day, he stated, workers in Toronto were unable to hold meetings for discussion of such subjects within the corporation and had to zo outside, indicating that freedom' of speech had been lost. Even in some cases, men had been summoned before the police com- mission and warned that if they did not refrain from expressing their views they would be dealt with sev- erely. One of the reasons for the crisis, the speaker pointed out, was that capitol had seized control of indus- try and also of many other lines of endeavour, Illustrating this fact, he stated that on the board of direc- tors of the four major banks of the Dominion sat ninty-one men who controlbed 1,405 corporations. One of these men was a director of 179 corporations drawing a salary aver- aging '$2,000 from each, making a total of $358,000, which he asserted was too much money for one man | to be drawing from the industries | of a country. This condition it was | pointed out also applied to the gov- ernment and also to the boards of | the umversities, fa by C. H. Tuek, Opt. D | (Despriant, 1988) CHOREA, ST. VITUS DANCE AND THE EYES I have had several experiences with cases of this nature and invariably consider that the as- sistance of your physician should be sought and at the same time vou should be assured by a comn- plete eye examination that tie eye and its appendages are prop- erly functioning. When it is possible for a leak- age of nerve force to so develep a nervous debility leading to a mental disturbance that may end in insanity it can be readily up- derstood that with an artificial aid that may render assistance in certain cases, This assistance used where possible in conjunc- tion with your medical aid should make the result more cer- tain, Even in nervous prostra- tion and insanity it has been found that uncorrected hyperopia and its attendant muscular error: has a bearing on the case due to the excessive leakage of nerve force due to the strain.

He comes from the counly squire class. Called to the English Bar in 1908, Sir Philip served in the Great War from 1914-17; Joint Secretary of Ministry of Nation- al Service 1917-18; Parliamen- tary Secretary to Board of Trade 1920-21; Secretary of Overseis Trade Department 1921-22; and President of the Board of Trade 1922-23 and November 1924-29. He wag Chairman of Permanent Labor Committee of "War Cab- inet War Priorities Committee" 1918. Known as Sir Philip Lloyd- Graeme until 1924 when he adopted the family name of his father-in-law, Lord Masham, aua the Lloyd-Graeme inherited a large part of the estate of hls mother-in-law. Sir Philip is a scholar, lawyer and politician noted for his piquancy of expres- sion. He was born in 1884, Pvidence of the growing popu- larity of the Canadian Pacific Railway low rate bargain return trips, inaugurated this year, was again furnished by the success of the Quebec Province and Montreal excursion to Toronto and Nia- gara Falls, June 17, whem no fewer than 2,500 Quebeckers took the trip in four specials on the Friday, returning the following Sunday night. His Honor the Mayor of Toronto issued a hearty welcome to those making the trip. The thirty-two business and professional men and women from the British Isles mow touring British Columbia under provincial governmept auspices found Vie- toria much to their Heine Pov uite up to advance notices of be- o Sp most "English" city on this side of the Atlantic. They were particularly impressed by the beauty of the formal gardens at some of the homes they in- spected and specially with the fam- ous Butchart Gardens. They are travelling by Capadlan Pacific' Rallway, (8568) In conclusion Mr. Connor pointed out that the question of insurance must be discussed from all angles and a definite change made. In fact the future of the country lay in the hands of the working class, who made up ninety per cent of the population of the Dominion. W. H. Moore Prefacing his remarks Mr cautioned hic audience that would have to come down to tne details of making their projects practical in order to make progress in any one line, while the ideas en- tertained bv the average citizen would have to be redistributed with regard to unemployment insurance, as conditions to-day were far dif- ferent from anvthing that had been experienced in the past. He char- acterized the crisis as a plague and asserted that a revision of ideas must be made as no form of con- tributary insurance would take care of present needs. In the United Kingdom, the speaker stated, there had been dif- ficulties and abuses to overcome, but he did not wish this statement to be taken as in opposition to the dole system in use there as he felt that it was in the main successiul. It was human nature he said that some should get too much and others not enough. Referring to a suggestion made that a leyy might be made on the moneyed interests to help in raising money for the establishment of a fund for the unemployed, it was pointed out that heavy taxes were being levied on capitol in the United Kingdom, but that in European states it was much harder as 'much of the moncev was tied up In nvest- ments and hard to convert to the use of the state, Mr. Moore cau- tioned that in some countries when such a situation had arisen that the printing presses had been started to turn out currency which had result ed in undue inflation. Stumbling Blocks Mr. Moore asserted that in Can- ada it was against the law to mis- treat a horse or let it starve and he considered that there should be some law of the same type relating to veople. But one of the real problems in instituting a system of unemployment insurance would be that of those in grave need who would be unable to contribute as thev were not.working and had no money to give. There. were also those who would not work even if th. - had a job, so that it was ad- visable for all interested in their own welfare to consider having sev- eral forms of insurance and not de- vend on one alone, as one form might not apply to some. A. Cook Mr. Cook in his remarks advanc- ed the theory that it' the zovern- ment were forced to aid the people that thev would assist as they had in the past when pressure was brought to bear. He also gave an outline of the history and develon- ment of the system used in Eng- land, pointing out certain salient factors which might be of assist- ance in Canada, He stated however, that with con- tributory unemployment insurance only a few would benefit as a large nercentage would not be in a posi- tion to contribute. With that in mind the workers should demand some of the wealth they had helped to create, It was charged that the worker was being held down to a small wage and that he was not be- mg advanced as production increas- cd and that eventually he would be given only a bare living wage to purchase the necessities of life for himself and his family. It was urged that clear thinking should be given to the problems to be faced ar that concise demands of wants and a solution should be arrived at. Moor. they One advantage the average soap box orator enjoys is that he's unhampered by any knowl- edge of his subject. Life in a big city is certain- ly nerve-shaking. If it isn't a fast motorist tearing up Lhe street, it's a slow contracor, The average man seems to de- rive little comfort from ths knowledge that the depression of 1873 was as bad as this one. -- Cincinnati Times-Star, IMMUNIZATION WORK OF BOARD SHOWS RESULTS .
