Japan may think it a good policy to take advantage of the world’s present aversion to war to make war on China. She will, however, find it a poor policy to flout public opinion constituted by her sister Nations. (She may want a portion of China’s terri­ tory but the getting of that territory lawfully is quite another matter. China exemplifies the fatality of lawlessness. She allowed herself to be bamboozled by a few astute but conscienceless lead­ ers. She now pays the price of her folly, She failed to rule her own household and finds the reins of power,now out of her hands. *■***•«• TIRED OF IT Old man Ontario is sick and tired of hearing her public men called all manner of evil names. He is weary of public prattlers is in ths mood. Why should a man because he has been elected to attend to his affairs. And it is not to be wondered at that he is in this mood. Why should a man because he has befen eleced. to be a pathmaster or a councillor be spoken of as everything from being dull to being a public enemy? - This is not time for any one to destroy faith in public men. Personalities are altogether out of place when measures and prin­ ciples should be considered. Policies and methods are fit subjects of public discussion. These cannot be gone into too carefully. The muckraker is a poor affair. The man whose scent is keen for scandal rarely has an eye for sound enterprise nor the .sense that impels him to take occasion by the hand. ******** POINT OF VIEW The optimist sees the sunshine, The pessimist sees the gloom, 'The optimist sons the starlight, Th© pessimist sees the tomb.

THURSDAY, MARCH 3, 1I>33 Public opinion is strongly in favour of having a few youngsters run off the street not later than eight o’clock. The mounties are likely to take a hand at this good work. Word is being passed along to magistrates to enforce the vagrancy act. The mounties know the haunts of these pestiferous night prowlers. Will parents please take the hint? There’s money in it for those mounties show no mercy. They hate budding crime. *♦**♦**« * INTERESTING A correspondent to the London Times, who is familiar by per­ sonal contact with conditions of the unemployed in Canada, in the United States and in England gives these among many other of his personal experiences: “I was struck at once by one great difference between England and America. In England you have not far to travel from one town to another in which you can either get a bed cheaply in a doss-house or sleep in a casual ward. In America, once you left a reasonably sized town you had often to be prepared to walk any­ thing up to 200 miles before coming to another town where any form of lodging was provided for the down-and-oui other than the prison floor and two blankets, iln such towns you might find a cheap hotel—-it, must, however, cost you nearly 5s. In England a day’s walk was the most you had to face between towns that often had clean hostels at 1 s.a night, or at least a doss-house—• officially called a common lodging-houso—(with a bed for 8d or up to lOd. Speaking about the morale of fhe unemployed, he has this to say: In Liverpool the Exchange runs an excellent physical training class. Applicants give such various reasons for their desire to enrol as:—“I’m a little too narrow-chested yet to join the Army.” “I want to keep my deportment, as I’m by trade a shop-walker.” or “I know I’ll never get my old job back. I want to be stronger for manual labor.” Unhappily, when it rains or is cold there is a falling off in attendance for lack of boots or overcoats. The sad­ dest cases are those of the proudest. Some do not like to undress in a changing-room and show torn underclothing or just the tops of socks that leave bare feet in the shoes, and so forego the drill and games. For Liverpool has- suffered more than most cities and over a longer period. As usual the Quakers are the leaders in helping their distress­ ed brothers. Note this. There is more in it than appears on first reading: “Yet in Liverpool I found, I thought, the second most inter­ esting scheme of my journey. Here a series of clubs have been formed, with rooms for working at wireless, mat-making, cobbling carpentering. They include a boxing and physical training centre, a pigeon fancier’s club and several other branches. 'They have had a gift of 18 acres of land at Mold, in North Wales, and for Mold they are now building huts and other necessities themselves. On the land they will make roads, build dykes and generally prac­ tise the life of the land during visits which will last from a week to a fortnight. At Bryn Mawr, in South Wales, I found the best of all schemes First the Quakers won the confindence of the people and started voluntary useful work, such as the building of a large swimming pool. Then they fostered civic pride, made a survey, and drew up a five, or even more, years’ plan for bringing new industry to the district. Lastly they -started three industries that pay their way. Over and above, to cheer the spirits of the inhabitants, they are painting the miners’ drab houses white and green to capture, of possible, some of the gaiety of a village in Tirol. CREDITON Christian Endeavour Society Evening A Valentine Social was held on Friday evening, February 17th at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Godfrey Wein and daughter Melita. About forty young people were present. At nine o’clock the entertainment be­ gan: men’s quartette by Lorance Wein, Lloyd Wein, Eldon Smith and Earl Haist; piano sow hy Evelyn Sippel; humorous prophesies in which members of the League were included by Margaret Kuhn; piano duet by Bernice Eilber and Ruby Finkbeiner. Games, contests and jig-saw puzzles furished interest and amusement for the next hour. Ber­ nice Eilber is the convenor of the League’s social committee ably as­ sisted by Margaret McMaster, Melita Wein, Ruby Finkbeiner, Eldoh Smith and Lorance Wein. Earl Haist and Irene Fahrner tendered a hearty vote of thanks to the host and host­ ess for granting the freedom of the home and also to the program com­ mittee or their success in keeping up the cheer and amusement rytlim throughout the evening The enthus­ iasm did not wane when an excellent lunch was served at midiglit. The Young People’s Society of the United church visited the Young People of Brinsley United church on February 15. The evening was spent in the form of a Valentine social The Crediton Society provided part of the program after which a pleas­ ant time was spent in games and contests. The Brinsley Society pro­ vided lunch. The Crediton young people journeyed to Brinsley ^in sleighs ’which proved to make the evening even more enjoyable. NARROW ESCAPE Two St. Marys boys had a narrow escape while returning from Lon­ don one night Ted Watson and Ted Richardson were riding in the lat­ ter’s coupe and just east of Elgin- field they noticed S’ red light ahead They took it to be the rear light of a car but it turned out to be a lan­ tern attached to a buggy. The shaft went through the window of the car and punched a big hole in the back of the car a few inches from where Mr. Watson’s head had been The car landed in the ditch but the boys were not injured.

Palpitation of the Heart Nerves So Bad Could Not Mrs. Fred Bingham, Swift Current, Sask., writes:— “I was bothered with palpitation of the heart, and my nerves were so bad I could not sleep. I had several operations which seemed to make me worse every time. I was getting desperate and confided my trouble to a friend who recommended me to use Milburn’s Heart, and Nerve Pills. I purchased a box and got such relief I would gladly recommend them to all who are troubled as I was.” For sale at all drug and general stores; put up only by The T.
