NO WORK -- NO RELIEF
In these days when an unusually
large number of men are unemployed
the agitator gets in his work. We
have great sympathy for the man who
cannot get a job, but we feel that
.Premier Hepburn has taken the cor-
rect stand in his No Work—No Relief
policy.
The all-important task of keeping
our unemployed busy is a difficult
and expensive one, but many who are
recipients of relief fail to realize this.
They seem to think that the taxpayer
has a pocketbook which has no bot-
tom and that he can continue to pay
and pay out of all reason.
• The men who head these relief
strikes and other similar ideas, may
• be sincere in their efforts to help the
unfortunate relief recipient, but they
• must bear in mind that Pile cannot go
• to the well too often and that in this
country it is a comparative few who
supply the taxes to keep our institu-
• tions going- and pay the huge relief
burden.
• It has often been insinuated that
some of these leaders are Reds, and
if this be true they should be closely
watched as they can stir up plenty
of trouble in times such as thee, but
at any other time they would be just
another one on top of a box talking
to themselves or a few who are at-
tracted by curiosity.

TEACH THEM TO SWIM
The Canadian Amateur Swimming
Association have launched a campaign
to bring swimming instruction and
life-saving information to the people
of Ontario.
This is a fine idea and one that we
have often advocated. The catch, so
far as Wingham is concerned, is that
we have no place much that can be
used for this purpose, despite the fact
that, a river runs through our town.
The number of drowning accidents
this year has been appalling. These
can be lessened if all knew how to
swim and the method of treatment
for a drowning person.
This class of accident can be great-
ly reduced if those at resorts, etc.,
would take more care. One thing that
all should know who use boats, is, in
case of an upset hang onto the boat
till help arrives. It is safer than try-
ing to swim ashore.

ABOUT WARS
That Italy and Ethiopia will be at
war before many moons is now almost
a certainty. This news has attracted
the attention of many who seek ad-
venture and it is claimed that many
from Canada will take part in this
conict. •
The experience of war is not pleas-
ant, in fact it is a bloody revolting
experience and it seems to us that in
• our so-called civilized state such con-
flicts are decidedly out of place.
Wars are destroyers, not only of
ife.and wealth, but of the moral char-
acter •of nations that are engaged in
the conflict. The sooner the world
'realizes war is a senseless thing the
better it will be.

The fellow who said this was to

and that is plenty hot.

tainly not in demand most anywhere.

A FEW WORDS TO YOU
ABOUT THE C. N. R.
During 1934 the average number of
persons employed by Canadian Na-
tional Railways was 74,774, and the
wages paid them came to almost one
hundred million dollars. This repre-
sented, both as to number employed
and amount1of payrell, an advance ov-
er 1933, and practically the whole in-
crease in personnel was due to re-em-
ployment of those whose services had
previously been dispensed with owing
to lack of business.
The average mileage of road operat-
ed in 1934 was 23,676 miles, making
Canadian National Railways the larg-
est single railway system in the Wes-
tern Hemisphere.
In 1934 the total freight transport-
ed by Canadian National Railways
amounted to 44,719,477 tons, an in-
crease of eighteen per cent. over the
previous year. The average haul of
freight was 326 miles, The value of
this freight is not ascertainable, but
it must runinto many hundred million
of dollars, and, comprising all kinds
of necessities and luxuries, contribut-
ed to the welfare and happiness of
every man, woman and child in the
Dominion.
Canadian National Railways carried
over 10,000,00 passengers during 1934,
this was also an increase over 1933.
These paid in fares $16,331,229, or an
average of $1.62 per passenger with
an average journey of seventy-one and
three-quarter miles,
These figures, without embellish-
ment or amplification, show the vast-
ness of the public service rendered by
Canadian National Railways. The sys-
tem is conducted on as economical a
scale as is consistent ,with the highest
standards of railway operatioa. The
improvement in business in 1934 over
the previous year enable more people
to be employed . . more wages to be
paid . . more .service to be rendered.
Also, more money was available to
be spent among Canadian producers
and Canadian merchants.
A. continuation of this improvement
in our business will carry on and en-
large these good results . . the whole
country will benefit, This year Can-
adian National Railways is col -oper-
ating in an extensive way in the na-
tional movement to diminish unem-
ployment and to restore industrial ac-
• tivity .. to help banish the depression
and bring better times to everyone.
Canadian National Railways feels
justified in asking for your co-opera-
tion. Greater use by Canadian citiz-
ens of the facilities offered by this
system -- transportation, express, tel-
egraphs, hotels — will materially help
not only us but all Canada— and you
will receive full value for every dollar
spent.

The "bulk" in this tempting ce-

found in fruits and vegetables—
because it resists digestion better.
Within the body, it absorbs mois-

this cleans out the intestinal waste.
Isn't this natural food better than

usually sufficient. Chronic cases with

turn back from little King Peter of
Roumania, and little King Anemia
Mahidol of Siann'to e boy King, who
reigned in the seventh century before
Christ—two and R. half millenniums,
ago, ••
He was josiah, boy King of Judah,
and "Josiah was eight years old when
he began to reign." He was just under
forty when he died. A boy during
much of his reign, a young man to
the end, yet few Kings in all history
have a finer record.
Stranger still, this rare young ruler
was preceded by two Kings of amaz-
ing and sinister wickedness, Man-
asseh and Amon, who filled the land
mortality. Amon died at the hands
of assassins in his own palace. Jo-
siah's successor, Jehoahaz, " did that
which was evil in the sight of the
Lord, according to all that his fathers
had clone." And Josiah was the son of
Amon and the father of Jehoahaz!
Truly, the righteousness and purity
of such boys and men as King Josiah
often stand out like a white lily rising
from the slime and mud of a poole
When he was twenty-six years old,
Josiah took steps to have God's tem-
ple put in perfect repair. The idol -
worshipping Kings that had preceded
him had let the Lord's house fall
into shameful condition. Josiah dir-
ected Hilkiah, the high priest, to get
together the silver freely offered for
this purpose and to see that what-
ever work might be needed was care-
fully and thoroughly done, as the
money was paid to "carpenters, and
builders, and masons, and to buy tim-
ber and hewn stone to repair the
house."
Then they made a great find.
Hilkiah the high priest reported to
Shaphan the scribe„ "I have found
the book of the law in the house of
the Lord." This was the law of
Moses, and may have included the
Pentateuch, or first five books of the
Bible. It had been completely lost
so far as any use or reading of the
book was concerned.
Shaphan the scribe sought an audi-
ence with the young King and re-
ported the discovery. "And Shaphan
read it before the King".
We can imagine how intently a
young, earnest Go ti -fearing King
mist have listened to the inspired
words of God. They had a strange
and overpowering effect upon him,
for "when the King had heard the
words of the book of the law, . . . .
he rent his clothes." And well he
might. For he realized, as he heard
the laws of God, and the easefully
detailed and divinely ordered regu-
lations for temple worship and sac-
rifice and daily living that he and
his nation had been living in heed-
less disregard of these sacred ordin-
ances.
The King appointed a special com-
mission of men, including priest and.
scribe, to go and "inquire of the Lord.
kr me, and for the people and for
all Judah," as to what God's will was
and what they could do about it.
They went 'to a recognized pro-
phetess, Huldah, and God evidently
directed her reply. The divine mes-
sage was that, because of the great
sin and rebellion of the people, God
would have to bring his divine judg-
ments upon the nation. But because
of the hutnility and repentance of the
young King, those judgments would
not strike during his lifetime.
Josiah accepted this word from God
humbly and obediently. He called to-
gether representatives of the whole
nation, "and he read .in their ears all
•the words of the book of the coven-
ant, which was found in the house of
the Lord," . Then he made a sacred
covenant with God, that he and his
people should walk according. to God's
will.
But that was not enough. Young
King Josiah was not satisfied with a
mere gesture. He purposed to do all
in his power, both postively and neg-
atively, to honor God,
• Negatively meant doing away with
all that dishonored God. And this
meant drastic action, indeed—as it
would in any nation today.
The very temple of God had been
dishonored by heathen. objects of
worship, and the land also. "All the
vessels that were made for Beal" were
brought out of the temple and burned.
Groves, which were places devoted to
the worship of the heathen goddess of
immorality, were destroyed, notorious
houses were broken down, "high
places" for heathen worship were
publicly defiled and 'dishonored.
Heathen alters were smashed to
powder as. the king "cast the dust of.
them into the brook Kidron," Images
were broken to pieces. Even the bones
of idolatrous or false priests and pro-
phets were burned and polluted.
'Voting King Josiah made a elior-
ottgit job of it all. It would be well
if there were more demonstrations of
this •sort, nation-wide, in true zeal
for God. anditt uncompromising, con-
temptuous repudiation of all that dis-
honors God,
Nor did Josiah hesitate at capital,
punishinett. He had the false priests
elaire They were slaying tnenls souls
eternally; it was well that their death -
dealing work be suironarily stopped
by death. •
Over against this negative and
necessarily destructive work King
Josiah kept the law of God, and ob-
served that supremely precious and
sacred ordinance of God, the pass -
over. This was the slaying and shed-
ding of the blood of the passover
Iamb without • blemish, type of "the
Lamb of God, which taketh away the
site of the world." It meant that Jos-
iah and the nation, whether they fully
realized it or not, were looking for-
ward to Christ as Saviour, received
by faith.
It was a great national observance
of the passover: "Surely there was not.
holden such a passover from the days
of the judges' that judged Israel, nor
in all the days of the kings of Israel,
nor 61 the kings of Judah."
No wonder we read of the young
king, who died in battle at 39: "and
like unto him was there no king be-
fore hien that turned to the Lord
with all his heart, and with a,1 his
soul, and with all his might . .
neither after him arose any like him."
BOGUS COINS AT
ST. THOMAS
Discovery of counterfeit 50 -cent
pieces in, the St. Thomas district for
the second time within six months led
to investigation by Corporal Denton
and Constable Weeks of the R,C.IvI.P.
and County Constable Hugh Sharp,
Saturday afternoon, and the arrest of
Robert McGraw, aged about 30 years,
one of the prisoners who were par-
doned two months ago on the occa-
sion of the King's Silver jubilee.
Under the flooring of a shed ad-
joining the house where McGraw is
said to have lived, in Port Burwell,
the police reported finding two plas-

counterfeit coins.
"THE BLOOD BATH"
(Regina Daily Star)
The return to the citizens of this

public life. The strikers have receiv-
ed, food, shelter and financial assist-
ance from the people. They :have
been accorded sympathy in many
quarters, but the events of Monday
night will rob them of every particle
of sentiment of good -will that has,
been expressed for them.

erated in Canada, any more than it
would be in any country of the Bri-
tish Empire. If drastic action has to
be adopted, loyal Canadians will give
it their full support. Good Govern-
ment must be maintained in the Do-
minion, and any subersive movement
must be dealt with by firmness. That
is what the people will expect, and
what it is the duty of the Federal
Government to supply and is supply-
ing.
From the first the strikers have
been wrongly led. Nothing whatever
can result froni actions which disturb
the peace, defy law, and bring disre-
pute on the country. After the demon-
strations of lawlessness on Monday
night from which Regina has suffered
severly by loss of life, severe person-
al injuries, great damage to property,
strong action will have to be taken
to prevent its repetition.
Whatever methods the police auth-
orities may adopt will have to be giv-
en the strongest public support. 'Pro-
tection of life and property is the
first function of government. While
the men remain here,. that funcion is
at stake. Obedience to law is the first
duty of every citizen. That applies
not only to the strikers themselves
but to every loyal Canadian wherever
they may be.
