WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1940 "All Out" to Win the War "Canada must go 'all out' to win the war' has been repeated so often in recent weeks and days by speakers on radio broad- casts and by others at public meetings, service clubs and other organizations that goon ithe idea will take root and grow. Two addresses in the past few days have been given to Oshawa audiences the most prominent of which was that presented by Hon. G. Howard Ferguson at the Genosha Hotel last Friday evening and the more recent one at the Rotary Club luncheon on Monday by district governor Alex. P. Ross. Mr. Ross criticized the apparent inactivity of some Rotary clubs in that the members always seemed too busy to do anything but their own work or to waste time on their own pleasures. It was not a mere coicidence that both Mr. Ferguson and Mr. Ross mentioned that the Empire is just beginning to get into the war. They both realize what may be coming and issued an implied warning that greater sacrifices and other duties than just our private avocations will be demand- ed if Canada is to do her full share in the war effort. Anyone with ordinary intelligence can surely understand that the war we are fighting Is one of philosophies and that we all should be concerned with the preserva- tion of our country and our institutions. As the Hon. Mr, Ferguson so pointedly said %"this struggle is to decide whether man's individuality and personality is to develop as God intended or be dominated and con- trolled by the state, according to the philo- sophy of the Hun." If this truth, this warn- ing is repeated often enough then possibly we will all realize that we must go "all out" to win this war. Refreshing and Historic "Northwest Mounted Police", a techni- color film now being shown in Oshawa is a delightfully natural picture portraying those early days when Indians and half- breeds led by Louis Riel attempted to set up a government of their own. The film lives up to its advance notices and contains little of the exaggerations or misrepre- sentations that usually mark other Holy- wood productions concerning Canada's famous "Red Coats," The Northwest Mounted Police. The scenic beauty of the Rockies and other outdoor scenes of the great north- west are enhanced by technicolor and an object lesson of the majesty and justice of the British Empire and British law is faith- fully portrayed. One slip was noticeable by those who are familiar with the progress of civilization in North America. Cigarettes were unknown in those days, much less the rolling of one's own. It just didn't fit. However that little incident can be skipped when it is realized that this all-Canadian picture is based on historical facts and the tradition of the "Mounties" is not distorted but rather enhanced. Gossip and the Male Sex Women have often charged that men, by and large, are worse gossips than they are; and judicial comment reported in a current trial before Mr. Justice Makins at Strat- ford may serve to emphasize that members of both sexes can do a great deal of harm, often carelessly more than viciously, by adding fuel to Dame Rumor's inextinguish- able fires. "Since the matter of male gossip has been brought to the attention of the presiding justice at Perth County Assizes, it is likely that his lordship may have more to say in that regard before many days. But judicial comment to one side, the male sex has been found guilty of gossip- ing for milleniums. In Imperial Rome, the number and enthusiasm of such tale bear- ers probably helped to delay the invention of printing and publishing of newspapers for a thousand years. Rome, under the earlier emperors printed maps for the use of its armies, and nothing stood between extending that art to the printing of books except the reading public's seeing no neces sity for it. To say that Rome's reading public was more or less restricted is no counter argument. The proportion of liter- ate to illiterate in Western Europe, at the time of Caxton and Guttenberg was prob- ably much lower. Gossip of a kindlier sort is forever asso- ciated with the names of two great Eng- lishmen whose more enduring fame rests, in the case of Samuel Pepys, on his Diary which, so largely, is gossip sublimated into original source history; and, as regards Dr. Samuel Johnson, first field marshal of words in England's history, on the fact that gossip about him and his circle was put down, admiringly and even lovingly, by Boswell, the man who won literary immor- tality for himself in immortalizing another. Municipal Taxation And The Sirois Report From the point of view of municipal gov- ernments, the Sirois Report, due for zon- sideration early in the new year by a Dominion-Provincial conference, is a most important document. During the depres- sion, many municipalities, particularly the industrial centres, were forced to live be- yond their means. In some instances this was due to past extravagances, but in the main it was because of extraordinary ex- penditures made necessary by unemploy- ment. It became evident that systems of municipal taxation, based on real estate values, were inadequate for emergencies. While real estate taxation increased, property-owners became more than ever conscious of a lack of equity in the system. In many towns, large and valuable proper- ties are exempt from taxation, because they are owrad by senior governments. Every exempt property added to the load of taxes that had to be carried by private owners. The exemptions seemed particularly unfair ; when applied to properties of such profit- able commercial enterprises as the Ontario Hydro. Recommendations of the Sirois Commis- sion, if implemented, will remove these major handicaps to sound municipal financ- ing. The Dominion is to assume responsi- bility for unemployment relief for employ- able citizens. Public utilities or proprty of other government enterprises used for "normal commercial purposes" in the opin- fon of the Sirois Commission, "should be subject to taxation on the same terms as that of private enterprise." Adoption of the Sirois Report has a direct connection with Canada's war effort. It will be agreed that in time of war the Dominion Government's need of revenue is paramount. Lowering of municipal taxation will make easier the task of the Dominion taxing authorities. FF. Editorial Notes " Mussolini, like Hitler, will have a lot of explaining to do to his people. Koritza "evacuated" or Koritza '"'captur- ed"? It all depends on whether a Greek or Italian talks. A sign of the times: "Silk stockings out in Britain for the duration." In this country the duration is usually a short run. The psychologist says that "push is worth more than brains." Wouldn't be sur- prised that "Pull" is worth a lot, too. Canadian army officers are to receive a course in army skiing, Well, anyway, form fours does not mean much in mechanized warfare. While Canadian industries are charged with "stealing" employes from each other by offering higher wages, Greece seems to be getting her quota of men from Italy. Says the London Free Press: "Canada's 'dollar-a-year' men are allowed an expense account of $30 a day. We would be satisfied with the expense account as a wage and the wage as a 'swindle sheet'." Words of the wise: As it is the chief con- cern of wise men to retrench the evils of life by the reasonings of philosophy, it is the employment of fools to multiply them by the sentiments of superstition. -- (Addison). A Bible Thought for Today GOD WILL PROVIDE: Take no thought saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall ~ drink? he: Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

Barton, M.D.' LACK OF THYROID JUICE SLOWS UP MENTAL AND PHYSICAL ACTIONS Before examining a heavyweight wrestler I was convinced that I would find a very rapid heart beat as he had the bulging eyes that are foungl in goitre--that is when thy- roid gland is too active. To my sur- prise I found the rate of the heart beat was normal, 72 to the minute. I hold him how mistaken I had been and he smiled and told me that he had had a goitre removed some months previously and his weight | had increased about 30 pounds. "I was so weak and tired and had lost so much weight that I thought I was finished." Similarly there are outstanding symptoms when the roid glani is not active ill i looking skin, excess weight! slowness of speech and action. The trouble is that if we do not see these outstanding symptoms, such as waxy ' skin, overweight, \ sluggish mind and body--we may never think of the thyroid not be- ing active enough yet the patient may have a dry skin, be slightly overweight and just a "little" slow in his physical and mental reac- tions. Should lack of thyroid julce-- hypothyroidism---be suspected, the metabolissm test is usualy all 'that is necesary to show if thyroid gland is not active enough, If it shows a minus rate of more than 15, thal is 85 or less, the thyroid gland is not sufficiently active. A brief but clear description re- garding these cases lacking thyroid juice was given some months ago by Dr. A. Bassler in the Journal of the American Medical Association. "Pain in the abdomen, pallor, a dry skin, blood pressure normal or below normal, a tendetcy to low temperature, mental depressions and poor memory, with changes in the blood, should be sufficient evidence of hypothyroidism." Most physicians are naturally looking for hyperihyroidism--goltre --and not hypothyroidism, just as they find more cases of high blood pressure than of low blood pressure. "The thought is that when there is an increase in weight, pallor, and a little mental and physical "lazi- ness" present, a metabolism test should be made. All that is necessary to correct this condition is a little thyroid ex- tract daily. This will speed up the body processes and the symptoms will disappear and will not return as long as the thyroid extract is taken. Fraud Charge Hearing Deferred For Week Whitby, Ontario, November 27 --Emile Nedeau, appearing. in Whit- by police court Tuesday afternoon, pleaded not guilty to a charge of obtaining $10.00 from Jos, Shields under false pretences and with in- tent to defraud. Crown Attorney Allin F. Annis requested a remand until Tuesday, December 3, Accused was remanded in custody until that date, when evidence concering the alleged offence will be heard. Ac- cused was arrested by Chief. Elliott, and is alleged to have operated in other local business places, | PROTESTS PRICES | PARACHUTISTS! ol 08e NAZIS BEAT UP WOP "FIGHTERS" WHO RAN AWAY London, Nov, 27--The British Broadcasting Corporation ported an example of "Axis solidar- ity in arms." According to Reuters News Agen. cy reports, pilots of German bomb- ers came to blows with Italian pi- lots of escorting fighter planes af- | ter their return from a recent bate tle over the Channel in which Roy- al Air Force fighters shot down 13 of the Italian planes. "The blows led to shots" the B.B.C. said, "and some of the com- batants were killed." The B.B.C. quoted the Nazi pilots as saying: "Perhaps if you won't fight it-out in the air, you will on land." U.ED, LEADER OF FARM GOODS Stresses Need for Organization on Co-operative Basis Toronto, Noy. 27 (CP)--If present conditions continue, Ontario farmers will be forced out of production of some. essential products such as bacon, D. E. Stauffer of ® Bright, Ont., president of the United Farm« ers of Ontario, said in an address prepared for delivery at the organi. zation's annual convention here to- day. "We cannot produce it (bacon) at present prices and meet our finan- cial obligations," he sald. "Some people are saying 'I hope the farm- ers will be loyal enough. to keep on producing pork products in spite of the price.' This attitude is econom- ically unsound and absurd." There were townships in his own county with more outstanding taxes for 1939 than they had had for sev- eral years; more mortgage and farm debt sales were being held than fot some time and still more were indi- cated next year, he sald. "Is it loyalty to our country for farmers to ke2p silent when such conditions exist, when it will mean: disruption of supplies and morale?" he asked. "Is it loyalty to keep silent when they are asked to face such demoralizing situations "when no other group. will do it, or is doing it? When one group refuses to pro- duce at cost plus five per cent; when another group refuses to absorb a tax without raising the price of the product?" The farmers could help them- selves, he said. They had had a cen- tury to work on farm organization. "We ao not need ta experiment in farm organization or the co-opera- tive movement. We can take a look at several countries who have prov- en what can be done. "We must pioneer more and more in the co-operative field by educa- tion and action, and keep alive the spirit of our forefathers, who pion: eered and lived dangerously and gave us this great heritage," he said and urged farmers to organize "neighbor night meetings" to dis- cuss co-operation and general farm problems. Discussion groups would bring about "an intelligent, economic moral and spiritual regeneration which would reflect not only in the community but far and wided He looked forward to the organi- zation of 750,000 Canadian farmers," creating a dignity and respect which cannot be had in any other way." has re- | | ON THIS DATE -- By -- FRED WILLIAMS The Anglicans of Montreal on { | the centenary of "Trinity Memorial { church," the modern name for "Old | Trinity," the second church to be | built by the Anglican community in Montreal. It the famous Bosecours market and was opened in 1834 by the then Bishop Mountain, whose diocese Montreal (and indeed all Canada to the great lakes) was included. With- in a few years a second church was opened on Gosford St. at the east end of the historic Champ de Mars; but it soon proved too small for the congregation and a move was made to the corner of Viger square and St. Denis St, where a very hand- some Gothic church was erected in 1855. Long a landmark its tall spire stood out among the bare trees in winter and was enshrouded by leafy foliage in summer, for the trees of St. Denis St. were tall and famous { all over Montreal Island. The third Trinity continued until 1909 when the movement of popu- lation caused a transfer westward. It was with pain that the old church was left. It had been the spiritual home of many of the leading busi- ness families of the east end; its Sunday school produced many men and women who played their part in the life of all Canada; while its roll of rectors included several clerics whose fame is Canada wide, among them the Rt. Rev, W. L. Mills, a bishop of the diocese of On=- tario. ¥ As a matter of fact the big cen- tennial service is to take place in Trinity Memorial this evening in the presence of the Most Rev. D. T. Owen, Primate of All Canada, with whom will be several other bishops of the Church of England in Can- ada. One notable item on the pro- gram is the unveiling of a memorial to Rev. John Almond, "Father John" who had hoped, after 35 years rectorship of Trinity, to live to share -in the centenary celebration, but who was called to his rest last year. There are many former members of Trinity congregation all over Can- ada who will be interested in this centennial service, Plane Production Is Nearly Double In '39 Ottawa, Nov, 27 (CP)--Production in 13 aircraft factories across Can- ada during 1939 increased in value by $5,711,365 over the figure for 1938, the dominion bureau of statistics reported today, Production in 1939 was valued at $12,638,470, compared with $6,927,105 the previous year. Production figures included the value of 252 completed aircraft manufactured last year, according to the report. The completed air- craft were worth $4,177,555. waports of airplanes and parts. with the exception of engines, wers valued at $5,650,320 during 1939, the 1eport added, and exports were ap- praised at $439,359. Imports of air- plane engines and engine parts were worth $2,192,767. The airerafs factories employed 3,508 persons during 1939, paying $4,651,615 in salaries and wages, ac- cording to the report. Of the 13 factories included in the report, seven were in Ontario, three in Quebec, two in Manitoba, and. one 'fn 'British Columbia. Three of the: factories were engaged only in mak- ing parts or doing repairs. Sunday last began the celebration of !

GOUNTY I5 ASKED ASKS COUNCILLORS STUDENT GUESTS Upkeep of Girl Students at Whitby College is Problem Whitby, Ontario, November 27 --Ontario County Council on Tues- day afternoon gave its attention to a delegation from the Whitby War Effort Committee which requested a grant of $1,000 towards the main- tenance of the English girl dents from St. Hilda's Colleg~, Whitby, England, at the Ontario Ladies' College. Several girls whose maintenance . costs have not vet been taken care rf need aid, Rev. E. Ralph Adye told the council "Only $300 is need- ed for the upkeep The college is giving them free tuiticn, I think vou will agree with me that for the maintenance of 'a healthy young- ster suth a cost is necessary," he stated. Francis J. McIntyre, president of the committee, pointed out that the girls were unable to obtain funds from England as the order of "freezing" English money had been made law in parliament while they were on the high seas.' "At the present time the scope of our work requires reaching out further in the county of Ontario," he declared. Warden McMullen promised that the earnest attention of the council would be given to the request. Others in the delegation who spoke briefly were Mayor Fred T.
