In the Oshawa area the campaign will be under the direction of the Oshawa Rotary Club. Money raised this way last year gave direct result with more nurses and orthopaedic consultants being placed on a full time basis in the field. Every crippled child, regardless of race, color or creed, deserves a chance. The Society is pledged to eliminate crippling conditions and to this effect is backed by 180 Ontario service clubs, which find cases, and follow through to help alleviate the suffering of afflicted youngsters. The Society acts as a central organization with a staff of field nurses. It operates special summer camps adapted to the needs of crippled children and arranges hos- pitalization, provides appliances and transportation among other things. With the money raised from this year's Easter seals further expansion of the Society's work will take place. Plans this summer include a more complete nursing coverage in Northern Ontario and the building of a new summer camp in the eastern part of the province, similar to those operated on Georgian Bay and near London, where about 350 crippled children spend a portion of the summer under expert care. Founded 25 years ago by a group of service clubs, this movement has grown until there is hardly a community which has not felt its direct influence. Rotary, Kiwanis, Lions, Kinsmen, Shrine and others join in the work. Round Pegs An important point was raised recently. by President Sidney Smith, of the University of Toronto, when he sug- gested it would be well to consider how many university students Canada can really educate and place in jobs for which they are training. When questions of this nature are discussed it is well to remember that Canada has only so many openings for pro- Ottawa Correspondent Ottawa, Feb. 26 -- These are strange days in Ottawa. Every day--almost every hour of every day-- the government takes unto itself some new and absolute auth- ority over the lawful life of the in. dividual. Mr. Abbott says he doesn't like the controls the government is en. acting into law. "I do not like them any better than anyone else," he said. Over in the Senate such. Lib. erals as Arthur Roebuck and Salter Hayden also cry out against con- trols. The Conservatives don't like them, either, and the brilliant Mr. Diefenbaker campaigns inside and outside Parliament for economic freedom. Yet every day Parliament forces new controls. "Why," I asked a prominent Lib. eral member the cther night, "Ev. eryone shouts against controls, But what is the answer, what's the al- ternative?" "We are going backward, now," replied the Liberal. "Someday we are going to have to throw all this away and return to. natural law." "If Mr. Abbett doesn't like con. trols, why does he enact them?" "It is the trend. It is the result of war. Mr. Abbott is in the hands of the top brain trusters in the civ. il service," he replied. "Do you seriously believe that?" en. T asked. "Of course," he replied. "The Chiefs of the civil service -- in this case the Finance Department and the Bank of Canada -- control the executive. The executive in turn controls Parliament." Mr. Abbott, he said, was a new minister and could not hope to cope with all the intricacies of pub. lic finance without the help of the senior advisers of his departments, and the senior officers of the Bank of Canada. "Just supposing about Mr. Abbott," I offered, "but how do you account for Mr. King? Mr. King is experienced, surely. Do you say Mr, King is in the hands of the brain trusters?" "No, I do not," answered the Lib- eral. "I do not know where Mr. King stands in this. It does nct seem to me that this is his way, yet perhaps he feels he must go along with the trend." Those Liberals who speak on the record make it plainly evident that the party is uneasy and is divided on the subject of controls. Mr. Howe, who has been described as the new "economic dictator", is ap parently all for controls. When his new power was de. nounced the other day by Howard Green, of Vancouver, as being be. yond the curb of either his own government or Parliament, Mr. Howe retorted: "I have never heard a more ridic- ulous statement." Yet two days later in the Senate three stalwart Liberals sounded you are right | "Maybe It Won't Be Such a Hard Landing" PP «+ ominous warnings against controls. They were Salter Hayden, Tom Crerar and Arthur Roebuck. They were going to give reluctant ap. proval to the controls but all three said they did not like them. Since the war ended the trend has not been, as many people. sup- pose, away from controls. More and more the government takes new authority. Two members of the Cabinet--Mr. Howe and Mr. Abbott --now have life and death control over whole industries and commu- nities. By their decisions alone will some industries thrive and some die. A year ago in the Senate Arthur Roebuck was warning that one control always makes another con- trol necessary. Controls breed con. trols, he said. Whether he spoke' from knowledge gained inside the | party is difficult to say. Certainly this year his forecast of greater controls has come true. | The only pecple who like the sit. uation developing are the Social. ists. They expect one day to inherit. e 30 Years Ago In conformity with a request from the fuel - controller, Oshawa stores remained closed on Saturday, | Feb. 9, and Monday, Feb, 11, in or- | der to save fuel.

To train more will either result | : ? in a glut on the market or the cream going to the United States where opportunities and salaries are greater. There is also the question as to whether all those who enter university are qualified mentally to take full advantage of the training provided. Theoretically they are, but in prac- tice it does not work out that way. Many who attend uni- | ' versity have no other motive than to bask in the social standing they believe such an education gives. Others, after | completing their course, find themselves entirely unsuited for the work they are called upon to do. By way of example we have seen clergymen who would have made better black- smiths and doctors who would have been far happier if they held a desk job in an office. It seems to us that a method should be evolved whereby there is evaluation of ability, adaptability and suitability before the pupil completes his secondary education. This would prevent men and women being trained for professions in which there are few openings; the loss of time, money and "effort at university and be the means of directing our youth into the work for which they are best suited. $1,000,000 Sniffle At this time of the year it is common to come across persons with the sniffles. For that reason it is not beyond Treason to find that the common cold costs Canadians $20,000,000 a year in lost wages, lost production and in medicine and medical and hospital care. While the greatest losses occasioned by colds are in the urban areas, farmers are not free from them. The farmer does not usually lose many working days due to the fact that he cannot leave his chores undone. At the same time he | suffers the same inconvenience and the loss of capacity to do a full day's work. However, the farmer\finds that his cold | lasts longer than that of his city cousin due to the fact that he cannot rest until it is better. : So far no sure remedy has been found for the common | cold, except rest and warmth, although many individuals | swear by some family recipe, or some cough medicine, or | some modern drug. : The best way to get over a cold is not to catch one in the first place. Colds are caused by a virus too small to be seen | through an ordinary microscope. They are transmitted by the air, through sneezing and coughing, and, science believes, by food contaminated by a sneeze or cough. Resistance to the infection depends on many factors.
