(ll FRIDAY, JANUARY 24, 1930 The Retiring Mayor As the term of the present Citj Council draws to a close, it is fitting t0 review briefly the public services of the gentleman who is now about . to retire from the responsible posi- lion of chief magistrate. His Worship Mayor Yeo. M. D., is retiring from the Council board after a continuous service of twelve years, during ten of which he sot as councillor for Ward 4. He has been instrumental in introducing many- civic improve- ments, notably in the way of public health, which lie has championed consistently throughout his career. The present satisfactory system of meat and milk inspection is due largely to his advocacy. He has iii- troduced or supported the precau- tionary measures adopted from time to time against t»; co-operate with the Red Cross So-' eiety and other bodies in the promo- tion of health activities. In other lines of civic improvement he has been equally to the front. i-lls ex- tensive professional practice has rarely kept him from his sea‘. at Council meetings, and his interest in and knowledge of everything pertain ing to tho affairs oi‘ the city have frequently been observed and coni- dlscdse anti Mayor Yeo began his career us a teacher in West Kent school. WHEY‘; he served capably as vice-principal. Graduating from McGill University. he began his medical practice in! Charlottetown about twenty-two years ago. Helwas for several years 4 connected with the 9th Field Am- bulanceJatterly as Commanding Of- l fioer, and took that unit to Val-l cartier Camp at the outbreak of the , War, where it did excellent serviceg in hheotioh with the mohnzmihh‘ of the 1st Division. He has also shown a keen interest in the sport- , I ing activities of the city, and on sev- , ersl occasions was elected president of the Abegweit Club, active moni- bership in which he has retained for over twenty years. As chief magistrate during the past two years Mayor Yeo‘s ability.‘ his qualities of leadership, his tact . . his unfailing courtesy ‘and sense of public dignity. have reflected c.cr.ii'. upon the city. But it is in the diffi- gul: art, of public speaking that he has particularly distinguished him- self. He can be eloquent, yet concise No one has heard Mayor Yeo make s long speech, or a dull one Without professing to be an orator. he can‘ say in choice language P'-‘.‘..L‘ll_~,' who: he wants to soy. he is therefore a boon to reporters, those unfortunate individuals who, probably for their sins, have to listen to and summarize intelligently every public utterance however tedious or inane, that may be delivered on occasions of civic or provincial importance. To His worship, now rctlrin" tron _ civic duties while still in the \~.:y prime of life and with many year: of professional activity before hmi we wish all success. Particularly do ‘would relieve the law officers of a I the Prohibition Act. In any case, the \ , hospitals; but oven so. the difference Ibetween 152 births and 244 deaths is t rather surprising. vision, and the step suggested is a very necessary one. Another statement to which the attention of the new council will be directed is contained in the report of the water Committee. The wells at the source of supply were very low during the past season, running at times close to the danger point. The time has arrived, the committee states, when it is imperative that a further source of supply be secured. A new prospective source of water supply for the city was investigated lust year, and the information gath- ered from this investigation will be available. It is gratifying to note that de- spite the increase in automobile traf- flc no fatal accidents occurred from this source during the year. The cf- flc-ivncy of the police in regulating traffic, as well as in the perform- l alive of all their duties, is justly c iiimended by the Council. It is questionable, indeed. if any city in Canada enjoys better police admin- istration than Charlottetown at the present time. There are some features of the re- nurts which must give pause for ser- ious thought. The fact that the com- brnec efforts of the police and prohi- bition officers have failed to check the illicit drink traffic in the city is ob- llullS to anyone comparing the po- lice court figures with those of other years. lhe arrests and conviction- for drunkenness in 102B were great- er than for many years past; yet the i929 figures show a still further in , crease The quality of the liquor thus consumed may be Judged from the shocking fatality which occurred a few weeks ago in one of the cells of the police station. At the time, The Guardian suggested that a prompt medical examination of persons ar- rested in an incapable condition responsibility which should never have been placed upon their should- ers. The expense involved might well be borne by the Commission which is responsible for the enforcement of suggestion is offered for the consid- eration of the incoming Council. Another matter of some concern i5 the fact that deaths in the city during the year considerably out- numbered the births. The figures giv- en included deaths and births at the To many of our citizens the finan- cial statement. referred to in these ofiiumns yesterday. will be the most important feature of the reports The figures can best be studied by a comparison with other years. As an education in civic affairs we can ro- commend no better study, especially to those of our readers who are young "enough to enjoy as a novelty‘ the ‘flint-liege of the franchise, and who ilesire, before casting their votes, to hnderstand the manner in which 'pr.ii|ic monies are received and the purposes for which they arc expend- Canada. we wish him that satisfaction which l ed. comes from public service well per-i formed. ___________.

B. Bhbeimett, leader of the , conservative party in Canada rec- ently made the concluding address of, his tour in British Columbia at samioope. 1t was a powerful ar- ..gnment oi ‘the King Government r . its time-serving. opponunistvpoi- y, changing from day to day as the valid changes, proclaiming prosperity in Canada while thousands are un- employed. Why should them be unemploy- ment, he asked in a country blessed as no other country is blessed? He deplored existing unemployment. In Calgary it was costing $1.000 a day to look after the unemployed. There are thousands of unemployed, he said, in Vancouver, Winnipeg. Tomato and Montreal. Here in Canada we have but 10,000,000 people and yet there are men who have to go to soup- kitchens, in Montreal for instance, in order that they might live. Yet‘ all these men ask is a chance to work. Canada today is faced, Mr. Bennett said, with an unfavorable balance of trade. Prom a favorable trade bal- ance of $317,000,000 in 1926, the Dom- inion now has an adverse balance of $58,000,000. We bought that niucli more than we sold" and while these figures must have been known, one’, member of the Government was tell- ing the people that we had the larg- est per capita trade balance that was known! These are but a small frac-l tion of the many striking points_ made by the Conservative leader to his cheering audience at Kamloops. British Columbia fruit growers as well as those of other provinces are loudly complaining of fruit from the United States being dumped into The States produce more ; fruit than their protected home market requires. The surplus is senti to Canada and sold for what it will fetch at prompt sale. Thus the Can- adian fruit-grower suffers just as Canadian farmers and dairymen suf-‘ fer in producing butter at less thn" cost to compete with the i1. . land product. The signs of a Dominion election near at hand are multiplying. The latest is the appointment of return ing officers for every electoral dis- trict in Canada, which is added to many others. The turn of the tide oi‘ prosperity, the short wheat crop, the adverse trade balance, increasing un- employment-all these have warned the Government to get ready for an election. There is also the fact that a gen- earl election must colne this year or next year. Seldom doesa government await the last year or its term before merit. Past experience has shown that course to be risky. The recon- struction of the federal cabinet is an evident part of the "getting ready process. With so much getting ready i would seem that an election might L Blirung at anytime, even before tlii meeting of Parliament, the date for which has been announced. What is much more probable is that a dis- solution will not be asked for until supply has been voted for the finan- cial year 108i, which will begin on April 1 next. This can be provided for before that date. Then everything will be as ready as the Government can make it for the coming general election. Senator J. J. Hashes in his address to the Board of ‘Prado illuminated the subject of our claims against the Government in a very comprehensive and convincing fashion. l-iis long ex- perience in public life had made him familiar with every aspect of the question. All the Maritimes have suf- fered in this matter and our Island Province has been the chief sufferer of the three provinces. The time has come, long overdue, w end the wrong and have justice done. Much depends on the Naval Con- ference now in session. Other powers have long been jealous of the lup- rernacy which Britain has enjoyed during a century pest, although all of them know that without the Brit- ish Navy the Great War could only vs resulted in irretrievable disaster to humanity. It is unfortunate that just now the Labor Government in England is committed to a policy of reducing Britain's defericive forces bothbylandsndmtoadangerous minimum.

' You feel uncomfortable afterwards. and are otinterested in food for one or mo days, and your skin may assume a yellowish tint. You feel that the ‘fit of anger’ has certainly left its mark upon you des- pite the fact that it was all over in a little while. Why should your digestive system be so upset, when as a matter of fact your anger is ‘up in theimind’ or the brain? Now emotions of joy, sorrow, anx- iety, and anger can all interfere with the movements of the stomach and intestine so that food material lies in thcsc organs without any digestion taking place, but anger has a special action on the flow of bile from the liver, that is most extraordinary. Dr. E. Wittkower by means of the duodenal tube, conductedtwenty ex- periments in which the bile was col- lected in test tubes. at five minute intervals, during emotions of joy. It was found that while the move- ments of stomach and intestine might be interfered with by these emotions, _that the flow of bile was actually increased for a short time during sorrow and anxiety. However anger had an entirely dif- ferent effect. It did not increase but almost completely stopped the flow bile. Now it was found that the liver, ;till manufactures the bile even when‘ no is angry, but the effect of the anger was to cause a spasm and a closing of the tubes that carry the bile away from the liver to the in- testine. Hence this bile got dammed uck into the liver and some of it we t out into the blood from the liver to all parts of the body. That is the reason why there is often a yel- lovusoss of the skin after you are s ‘y. Sometimes there is- an ache or oi pressive feeling in the upper rig part of the abdomen when you a. angry. It is due to this spasm whic contracts or closes the tubes cairyir _ the bile from the liver and galllblad _ der. Dr. Wittkower is of the opinion" that these fits of anger may be one asking for a dissolution of Parlia- of the causes of jaundice, and of the from the last formation of gall stones Tut cu~,v'.o1'ri~:roww raw-w 1w‘ ' a l endmct hopes are entertained by not offset the bitter taste of the darker SOCIALIST ECONOMICS Pilrtlwtinwbeinmoontiismn» "*1 "WW;- lll other Will-loll issues in Great Britain more: toned by the twin-comm: international navel “ohmic: to be held in London, Wflllfiqr MacDonald concerning the satisfactory outcome of this parley, “mouth, characteristically. he iiiedvkmwith some ieserve.
