Personalities Will Not Help It was rather unfortunate that, just when the Public Welfare Board was study- ing ways and means of improving the ad- ministration of relief in Oshawa, when it was ready to consider substantial improve- ments in the menus provided for those requiring relief, its members should have been subjected to an attack from the plat- form at a meeting held in the collegiate and vocational institute auditorium. While the members of the board will not, even in the slightest degree, allow this attack to influence them in their good intentions to- wards the suffering families who need their help, one cannot but feel that this attack was ill-advised, if not, indeed, fool- ish. As we have had occasion to re#hark on previous occasions in these columns, those who purport to be leaders of the unem- ployed workers cannot further their cause any by indulging in abusive personalities of those who are trying to help them. Abuse is not argument; it is not convinc- ing. Those who might be constrained to help those in need by the power of a logical argument, will not be moved by a volley of abuse directed at their heads. We have, for the last two or three years, from time to time expressed our admira- tion of the splendid way in which the un- employed workers of Canada have kept their heads, have acted sanely and in an orderly manner, in spite of the sufferings and hardships they have undergone. We have sufficient confidence in them to be- lieve that they will continue to show this exemplary type of citizenship. But we cannot conceive of the situation being helped any by the inflammatory speeches of individuals who believe in casting ridicule on those who are responsible for administratering relief. We regret that this has been done, but hope that, in future there will be no more of it, but that a spirit of co-operation, rather than that of antagonism, will characteristize the atti- tude of those on relief to those who are administering it The World's Best Seller This week the Upper Canada Bible Society is conducting a campaign in Osh- awa to secure financial assistance for its work. In connection with this campaign, some interesting facts were brought out in several of the churches yesterday. The outstanding one of these, perhaps, was the fact that the Bible is still, by far, the world's best selling book. Last year, it was pointed out, the Bible Society throughout the world distributed 11,900,000 copies of the Holy Scripture, printed in 644 different languages, and of these languages, fourteen were added to the list for the first time. No other book, no matter how great its popularity, can begin to approach that immense distribu- tion. In Canada alone, the Bible Society distributed 430,000 copies of the Bible, in 110 different languages. It is interesting, and perhaps surprising, to note that for the province of Ontario alone it is necés- sary to have it printed in 46 different languages. These figures are somewhat amazing: They show that in spite of the.passing of centuries, the Bible has a tremendous circulation, and that it goes into more homes in the world than any other book. Further interest is found in a study of the history of the Bible Society. It was founded in the year 1804, in a time when, for Britain, the skies were far darker than they are even today. The country, im- poverished by the wars following the French revolution, was on the brink of ruin and its trade was paralyzed. Yet, in that period, the Bible Society was launched on a work which has grown tremendously since that time. Today, conditions are very much like what they were in 1804, and the need for the spiritual guidance to be found alone in the Bible is greater than ever. Great leaders of today have urged time and again that it is not lack of material resources from which the world suffers 'today. Our material resources were never greater. What is needed is a stronger conception of the great moral and spiritual values of lifee Men need to turn more and more to the Book which in the darkest days will strengthen and stay men's hearis on the varities of life. The Bible was given to the world for just such a time as this, and man's future lies largely in the hope that it may not only be the world's best seller, but the world's most read book. Highway Safety The radio address on highway safety given the other night by J. L. Stewart, manager of the Canadian Automobile Chamber of Commerce, gave some illumin- ating figures regarding motor vehicle acci- dents. The theme of his address was that practically all motor accidents are due to a failure on the part of the human element to function properly at the crucial moment, In his address, Mr. Stewart noted that the human element is at fault in approxi- mately 85 per cent of all motor vehicle accidents, and that mechanical and other failure accounted for the other fifteen per cent. That, however, he said, did not tell the whole story, because he felt that the percentage of accidents attributed to mechanical troubles are for the most part the result of human neglect or failure. The majority of the mechanical troubles which cause accidents, he pointed out, could have been prevented by ordinary care with the operation of the vehicle, and by keeping it up to the proper mechanical standards, That places the blame for motor acci- dents almost one hundred per cent on the shoulders of the motorists themselves. Motor accidents are preventable. The car of today is a much safer vehicle to drive than that of a decade ago. Many improve- ments have been made to increase the safety factor. It might almost be said that, in the hands of a careful driver, motor cars of today are accident proof. Thus, if we are to look for a substantial reduction in automobile accidents, we must look to the human element, to the man behind the wheel, to bring it about. He can bring it about by doing exactly what the radio appeals from week to week have been asking him to do, by taking care of his car so that it will not fail him at the critical moment, and, above all, by remem- bering every moment he is on the road. his responsibility to observe the laws of safety, and thus safeguard his own life and the lives of others. Editorial Notes It is regrettable that two young men should have taken to living in "jungle" conditions in Oshawa. Such conditions are absolutely unnecessary in Oshawa at the present time. It looks like being a fight to a finish between the provincial hydro commission and the municipalities over the exchange situation. Yet the dice are always loaded against the municipalities. People who criticize those charged with the administraton of relief usually have little conception of the magnitude of the problem that has to be handled. Only a week now remains before the United States presidential election. Yet many newspapers are taking it for granted that Roosevelt will be elected. The 116th Battalion Veterans are plan- ning a reunion. The passing of years only makes the desire for a renewal of the old comradeships of war days grow stronger.
