SEAFORTH, Friday, October 30.
A Worthwhile Appeal.
In appealing to, the public to sup-
port its annual Hallowe'en Frolic
Friday night, the Seaforth Lions
Club can point to twelve years of
spPendid and unselfish work on be-
half of the -crippled and underpriv-- -
iteged of this district.
Since 1923, when it was organized,
the Club has achieved an enviable re-
cord ,of good deeds, well done, and
has firmly established itself in the
district .as a self effacing agency
• whose purpose it is to assist those
• not able to help themielves.
Much of the !work accomplished
by the Club has been done quietly
and with a minimum of publicity.
Very few, persons, we suggest, -know
that during the past ten years near-
• ly 400 crippled, sick and maimed
children, have been brought back to
• health by the work of the Club. A
number of these cases, the chairman
of the crippled children's committee,
Dr. F. J. Bechely, has stated, have
cost over $1,000.00 before the child
• was declared fit. At the present
time fifteen cases are being looked
aft'er. • 4i-
' In addition to its crippled chil-
dren's work, the. Club has provided
a beautiful park and modern swim-
• ming pool at a cost exceeding $5,000.
• Its annual Christmas expenditure
• for clothing and food for needy fam-
• ilies averages over $200. It provides
free milk to under -nourished chil-
dren during the winter months at a
cost exceeding $200.
All this work costs money and it
has only been through the generous
• co-operation of the citizens general-
ly that the ,Club has been enabled to
carry qn. The need this year was
. never greater, officers of the club
• say, in making the annual appeal.
' In view of the wonderful work be-
ing Accomplished, we know that the
• appeal will not, go unheeded.

Armistice Dap

This past summer, Canada remem-
bered her war dead in so inspiring a
fashion—the memorial itself, the
Pilgrimage of veterans and mothers
• and wives, the participation of the
• King, the President of the French
Republic, the Prime Minister—that
every Canadian must feel pride in a
duty so wholly and beautifully done.
Some expression of that feeling is
very likely to be made by Canadians
on November 11th this year when,
With the appeal of the Poppy Fund,
the opportunity is given -to render
• some measure of gratitude to those
• who, one might, say, fell in the war
' but -did not die.
For that, in effect, is what happen- •
ed to many thousands of Canadian
young men. Wounded, damaged in
body and spirit, these multitudes of
our fellow men have survived twen-
ty years of pain and handicap, of

them. On the base of the indescrib-

WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY.
Long Terms Rif the Deserving
.(The Ottawa Journal)
•
The 'reroute Star says -Ontario judges • "have
been indulging In an orgy of heavy sentences,",
sending men to Nissen "for ten, twelve and four-
teen years," declares flatly there in "no sense"
in such severity. It mentions specifically the
case of two men given ten years and lashes for
"a sixty -dollar bold -up," contrasts this sentence
With the •three-year term imposed on a telewyer
who stole 8150,000 of trust fundss.
Criticism of the courts .for inequality of sen-
tences is unfair, in a sense, because the critic
usually has much less information on the case
he reviews than is possessed by the judges who
pass :these sentences—and .the judges never re-
Ply -
Generally speaking long terms, and lashes, are
given for crimes attended by violence. Obvious-
ly society needs greater protection against a
thug who holds up a shop, flourishes a gun,
threatens to shoot if he is resisted, than against
a sneak thief who enters at night by a basement
annsdow—er even against the • embezzler, the
unfaithful employee. Robbery with violence is
but• a short step 'from murder and the criminal
with a gun, if he has, not murder in his heart,
must be assumed to ready to shoot if capture
is the 'alternative. ,
For such hard-boiled crooks the penitentiary is
the safest place. To turn them loose in two or
three years is` folly, because such criminals sel-
(dere reform, are extremely unlikely to change
their ways 'unless from fear of consequences. The
robber who carries a guii is hardened in crime,
an enemy of soeiety, and We might as well be
practical enough toadmit that the place for him .
• is behind stone 'walls and iron bars.
• These are the people who get the long 'teams,
and we think most people agree that they sbould.
Unless we make the punishment severe for the
more violent branch of our criminal poOulatioa
we encourage ,the setting up in this country -of
an armed underworld—for the most :part for-
eigners—of gangsters and thugs, reckless of hu-
man: life, and The Journal thinks it Is most for-
tunate that Canadian judgel are taking a strong
stand' in this =Ater.
In comparison with the conditions prevailing
:nut -eczema-a ..geograpble-houndary bite . Canada
has been remarkably free from crimes with
violence. The reason: In Canada the adminis-
tration of criminal law is swift and sure; pun-
ishment on conviction is severe and tertaim.

Doesn't Seem Fair •
(Chatham 'News)
Three years in Kingston' Penitentiary was the •
sentence imposed' upon John J. Huggard, Seaferth
lawyer, who had pleaded guilty to the theft of
more than $150,000 in securities, the property of
persons who had entrusted it to. him foul slate
keeping. In some instances this money repres-
ented the total wealth of persons of moderate
means who 'are'now destitute as a result of their
loss. Huggard was a man respected and honor-
ed in his community; .ana in thus proving false
to his trust, he placed the aspersion etuspicion'
upon, all men who act as confidential financial
guardians of the prapertys of others.
• Couneel;foe Huggard maintained that the dis-
grace of the caurt publicity was sufficient:pun-
ishment for a man of lids, statiom in life; that he
would suffer in his ownmind more than, he could
• be made to suffer behind bars. •
The hesitant, -semntapologetic manner of the
judge, and the admittedly light sentence he im-
sed, dens- not seem to fit appropriately -in the
general picture of justice as administered' in sim-.
filar cases of theft in this country. Many a man
who has been seneeneesl .to longer ternis of im-
prisonment for stealing—acc'ompanied by stern
lectures from the berrch—bas probably been more
sdeservIng of leniency, in view of his lack of hopie
training, appreciation of wrong -doing, education,
elevation to positions of trust and • confidence,
and his general chance, to make good—all con-
siderations which naturally arouse Fisympathy; but
which were absent in'the case of Huggard.
Huggard may have been sufficiently penisbed;
but the treatment accorded him as a criminal,
when weighed in the balance with the treatment
accorded other criminals of like character ' in the
eyes..,of the law, does not increase the spirit of
respect for the administration of justice in this
country.

Do you remember when there were

years age, onsOctober 22nd, that the
Orin telegraph Comparay 4 Cada
was formed, at Toronto. ..The Toren -
to, Hanillton and Niagara Electra'

amount of .printed space upon its mes-
sage forms.
When it is considered that the tele-
graph was not only In Infancy itself`
but that the -wire was operated
through a .eparselyeettled country,
the fact that the first measage, .was
sent to Hamilton on, December 19th,
1846, spoke volumes for the enter-
prise and efficiency of the Manage

completed to Queenston, where there
was a wire head 'from Buffalo end,

S. S. LESSON FOR NOVEMBER 1st
Lesson Topic—Law, Love and Tem-
perance (International Temperance
Sunday). • ,
Lesson Passage—Romans 13:1-14.
Goolden • Text—Romans 14:21.
The Apostle„Paul says: "Let eveil
soul be subject unto the higher pow-
ers. For there is no power but of
God: the powers that be are ordain-
ed, of God." This is ideal. This is
not actual, but this is what (night
to be. The Apostle is conducting
an argument in Which he introduces
the word of God. Ileceuse God is the
head you, must not debase Him by
patting up a drunken magistrate and
oall upon people to do hipi honor.
Never let us believe that anybody
will do for Prime Minister or judge
or magistrate or leader in society.
He wsho is at the head should be at
the head in every sense—intellectual-
ly, religiously, sympathetically. This
may be of slow growth but the ten-
dency roust' be ever upward. ThOugh,
written by Paul in the, longagothis
chapter gives us the ideal picture of
divinely -constituted and divinely,
ruled society. Law and Love from
man to man should go hand in heads
—"Render therefore to all their
dues; tribute to whom tribute is due;
custom to whole custom; fear to
whom fear; honor to whom hanoor.
Owe to no man !anything but to love
one another; for he that loveth 'an-
other (bath fulfilled the law." The
above is not mere sentiment. Mere
sentiment is never found in the Gos-
pel of Christ. Paul was strong on,
love for the weak brother. It is at
though he ssaid—"If we were sounder
in heart we should have fewer diO
famines in the head." He say et there
are some things that may be- dine
with a golod conscience, and some
that may not be done with a geed
conscience. There are some amuse-
'menits which, you might enjoy, and
yet if they Make a man who is weak-
er than you are really sorrowful, will
It not be !better to deny yourself than,
to offend another? Is 'not this. the

ally 'man should say, "The reason
why I abstain from meat oit vege-
tables or wine is that 1 am, trying 10

Mat than he is," is tee that a bette-
fieellt argument? "It Is good neither

'TEMPERANCE ITEM
Disappearing From Hospitals
In 276 of the sprincipal hospitals of
Great Britain the amount of alco-
hol used per patient per annum
dropped from 6.8 stns. in 1900 to 1.3
ozs. ia 1923, i.e., to les e than one-fifth
of the amount employed twenty years
earlier. There had . been a further
drop of between forty per cent. and
fifty per cent. between 1923 and 1933.
In the four great hospitals of Liv-
erpool the amount administered per
head in 1926 was only one-tenth of
that employed in 1900. In 1931 it
had been further reduced to one -
eighteenth, 'viz., fro& an average of
fifty-four teaspoenfuls per patient to
three teaspoonfuls.
in 'Manchester the amount was re-
duced 40 tirue-sixteentli, in Glasgow to
one -thirty-fourth, and in Edinburgh to
one -fortieth, i.e., almost to vanishing
point.
Four of the chief voluntary hos•pi-
tals of London used twenty-six ozs.
of alcohol per patient in 1878, ten
ozs. in 1908, tone and one-half ozs. in
1928, and three -eighth oz. in 1932.
The London Temperance Hospital
and many of the amtaller hospitals
used none at all, and results, so far
as -recoveries are seaneerned, are as
• good or better. In the Western
Fever Habitat, London (with over
4,000 fever eases per year), the
amount of brandy prescribed fell
from 2,589 sone in 1925 to 25% ozs.
in 1927, and one oz.• 1928. Sim-
ultaneously the death rate from diph-
theria declined from 8.54 per cent. to
4.42 Per cent. No alcohol at all was

and spirits from an average of 300
teaspoonfuls per head per annum to
less than three teaspoonfuls between
1889 and 1931. In regard to.beer, of
which 255,486 pints were used for
8,107 patients In 1889, only 100 pints
were 'ordered in '1932 for 26,000 pa-
tients.
