ISSUES NEARER HOME

‘twice in the past few days the Halifax Liberal press has published the misstatement that the Conserva- tives in this Province “opposed" the balancing of the budget ln the re- cent election campaign. What the Conservatives opposed was the de- ception practised on the electors in making such a profession when, ac- cording to the Liberal brief filed by Mr. Lea before the Audit Board in 1930, it would require a minimum of over four hundred thousand dollars additional revenue to balance the budget at that time.

As suggested the other day, the Halifax Liberal paper would do well to confine its attention to financial problems nearer home. Its own party government, which gained power in Nova Scotla on the same hypocritical pretense, of econcmv. came out last year with a revenue deficit of $1,129,000. Before dis- cussing what it is pleased to term the "bankrupt logic" of The Guard- ian, our Halifax contemporary might give some oi its attention to the bankrupt exchequer in its own pro- vwce unqq- Liberal administration.

They simply represent the mused revolt or the people against conditions which can be no more ameliorated or abated by the new- ly-elected Governments than by their omcial predecessors. This fact, obvious enough to the detached observer now, will be amply dem- onstrated to the whole country in a very brlei space of time, "Conservative governments have struggled vainly against the econ- omic crisis in most of the Plov- inces during the past several years Now the responsibilities of admin- istration in practically every Pro- vince become the task and care oi their political opponents. Ii the new Governments fail to measure up to the expectations of a depres- sion-scourged people, the swing- back of the pendulum is certain to produce new changes and possibly a. complete realignment of political parties."

Complaint is made of the conges- tion of car and truck service board- ing the car ferry at Tormentine. Two tourists called at ‘The Guard- ian and stated the traffic requir- ed proper regulating.

Colonel Batista, Cubas military dictator, is reported to be prepar- ing to establish absolute military rule in the republic, “to save the island." As Cuba has already been in the throes of revolution for the past three years, with successive dictators, it will be somewhat dim- cult to arrange a military despot- ism ‘that will make an impression upon the present chaos.

Borah and Hoover are again mentioned as probable Republican candidates for the U.S.A. Presi- dency. Hoover has already declar- ed he “does not choose to but pressure may make him change his mind.

Miss Agnes Maephail, M.P., is no better oil today than she was three months ago, when she demanded an investigation into a charge that Penitentiary Inspector J. D.

To ascertain this thourands or dollars of taxpayers money have been spent.

As an indication o1 the unprovo- ment in business and the growing confidence of the people in better times, perhaps the auto trade is the best example. The total of new motor vehicles sold at retail in June was 11.687, of which 9.606 were passenger cars and 2,031 trucks and buses. The gain was 1d p.c. over the 10.1% in i934 and ‘f0 p.c. over the 0,513 sold in June, i933. The cumulative total for the first half of 1036 was 61,737 vehicles, an in- crease of 33 p.e. over i084 and 13B p.c. over i933. The retail value for this period, 067.120.0951‘ chewed cor- responding increases of 28 p.c. and 100 p.o. respectively.

You have been told often that the heart is simply a musculnrpump that pumps the blood through a sys- tem of tubes-Abe arteries-to all partsofthebody anlrtheblood then ‘ through another sys- tem of tubes-the veins-to the heart to be again pumped out and again retumed.

Now this is quite true but what is not really known by many is that these tubes that carry the blood to and from the heart am not hard solid tubes like the water pipes in the house but are made of the same tissue as the heart, that is elastic or muscle tissue.

In fact a simple way of thinking of the whole circulation of the blood is to think hi’ a round- hollow elastic tube. in one part of which is an enlargement of the rubber tube- mm-e layers of elastic fibre in it — which is the heart. Some nervous or “electric" impulse starts the heart beating or pumping and the blood within the heart and the rest of the tube gets moved forward and con- tinues on its way around until it reaches the heart again. While on its journey it nourishes all the tis- sues with its building materials and oxygen, and carries away from the tissues the wastes which were brok- en down while the cells were doing their work. When these wastes Fame back in the blood the heart sends this “used" blood for a short jour- ney to the lungs where the lungs remove the waste _and replace it with fresh oxygen.

As the heart pumps the blood into the large vessels which lead out from it, these vessels being elastic like the heart, become enlarged to receive the blood, and after receiv- ing it the elastic tissue in the walls oi these vessels tightens or squeezes downward on the blood and it goes onward to another part of the tube system. This next portion andthe next and the next, all the way along, relax or enlarge to receive the blood and then squeeze down on it to send it further along on its Journey.

You can thus see :hat the whole tube or system of tubes act exactly like the heart, that is they relieve the blood and then squeeze it out again.

As long as these tubes remain el- astic your heart has no trouble pumping the blood along. When they lose their elasticity due to in-' fectlons, overeating, overdrlnklng, or emotional excesses, then the bean has troubletrying to do its work.

Again The Starling

. (Toronto Globe) To biologists the starling is a sturnold, passerlne bird. To astron- omers it is a small star. To fruit farmers it is afreebooter andathief. ,To fortunate citizens who can afford to live in the country and sit cut under trees it is an infemai nuis-

tectlon placed around the piers of a bridge. Nevertheless, to us it still remains a small bird equipped with sturnold primaries. And in one re- markable rospec‘ it is like the wild pigeon; it multiplies prodigiously. Who still alive remembers the wild pigeon? Yet it used to infest Ontario in flights so dense it ob- scored the sun. Millions of lt. At night you could take a stick and knock it down by the bucketful off low-lying trees. So that pigeon pie was as common then as the liquor authority is today. And yet what/has become »_-i' the wild pigeon? The Smithsonian In- stitution of Washington has hsxl a standing offer of 310.000 for an au- thentic cimen of one of its nests. A pretty fair nest-egg. A180. what about the English spar- row? At one time this agile little fellow was l:oked on as the bane of the whole countryside, Nevertheless, he soon necked his way into our esteem. But. alas, he is slowly dis- IDPeB-Ilnil. very slowly-with the horse. Makes us think again of the pres- ent complaint about the sterling. For we used to prop scarecrows in trees to shoo robins ofl’ the cherries. much as we still do in the fields to scoot crows off seed corn. And yet neither of these birds has establish- ed itself as an intolerable public pest‘

let us hope. then, that the star- llng. which really is a cheerful little invader, will never multiply enough ‘m replenish the earth and subdue it. On the other tack. it may dwin. dle and diminish. like the pigeon. until the Royal Ontario Museum will be induced to offer a course in Egyptology in exchange for a spe- cimen of its sturnoid primaries.

This report was tabled in the House of Commons on JulU 0th by Hon. Hugh Guthrie. whistler o! Justice. with the announcement that the system would be mode of-

easy to see what basis there is for the effort now being made by cer- tain partisans in dismiss the reform as an election dodge or an "eleventh hour attemPt t° PM!” Public opinion.”

The Borstal system is by no means new. Two Public inquiries in Great Britain in 1894 arrived al- most simultaneously at the empha- tic conclusion that special treat- ment was required for incipient cri- minals of the "dangerous age" be- tween sixieen and twenty-one years. In 1908 the system was established by act of parliament. and achieved such immediate success that. all Canadian administratio s of the past 2'1 years must share e blame, if there is any blame, for having failed to adapt the system to Cah- adian requirements.

Even the British government took twelve years to consider the matter after its own lnvestigatrrs had made emphatic rocommendatiins. Judged by that standard, Canada. has been reasonably prompt in responding to a demand for prison reform which was never very active until a little more than a year ago.

All Old Liberal Custom

(Moncton Til-hes)

Reorganization oi the different departments of government pro- mised by I-Ion. A. A. Dysart during the recent provincial campaign is apparently under way. As predicted by The Times, however, the reor- ganization is in the nature of dis- missal of those employed in the government service suspected oi having Conservative leanings and filling their places with supporters of the Dysart Government. The new provincial government has not been in office very long, bu: it has apparently been quite active in weeding out any suspected friends of the late government pre- paratory to rppofnting some o! the party heelers to office or to the pro- motion of some of its friends who had been retained in the service by the former administration with a full knowledge of what their politi- cal sympathies and afllliatbns were. According to the Fredericton Mall, Thomm T. Blair, who has been bridge superintendent for several years has received ofllcial notification from A.W. Barbour. deputy minister of public works. that his services are no longer m- qulred afid that he is to turn over the keys of his ofllce immediately. Fred R. Pond, of Devon, replaces Albert Hanisrn as caretaker of the Ftedericion-Devon highway bridge and Duff King, and John Stephens have been suspended from the me- chanical branch of the Motor ve- hicle department. ,

As stated yesterday Mr. B. H. Kingborn. Chief Highway Engin- eer has been let out, and the Prem- ier has announced that other

changes a:e to be made in the var- ious departments. Dismissal of civil servants—unless they have been of- fensively partizan-ls not an evi- dence of high-class statesmanship, and is not in the interest of public service or good citizenship.
