Editor Read, that you may receive not only farts, but the significance of those facts Random Jottings By J. EDWARD NORCROSS Journalistic waters are decidedly ruffled over in Nanaimo, so much so that the chief editorial writer of the morning paper there, the Herald, has been compelled to rebuke his evening contemporary, the Free Press, In a leading article, headed "Ungentlemanly Conduct." In view of the enormity of the alleged offence, this Is a restrained caption. The present writer has, on occasion, had stronger ones put FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2 9, 1 9 3 3 Tyv Into type with much less justification. Like newspapers everywhere else, those of Nanaimo have suffered a good deal from the depression.

This, apparently, has caused some acerbity in the interchanges of the two dally journals there. At all events, their relations were already strained when, the ether day, the Herald, in the course of business, sent a young lady to the Free Press office. Tha young lady returned, says the Herald, with a dreadful story of her treatment. She had been told to go to hell, Yes, Just like that. teaeeUHf (J?

Reports were current that the Dominion Government was about to establish a great naval base on Burrard Inlet as a contribution to British plans for the defence of the empire. Forty Years Ago The Church of England in Canada ceased to be a "colonial appanage" of the mother church In England, and became a distinct Canadian institution, with complete autonomy. It had 644.000 adherents in the Dominion.

The contract was let for the construction of the Hudson's Eay Company's new warehouse on Water Street, a brick and stone building. Typhoid fever was prevalent In the city, two wards of the hospital being filled with patients suffering from the disease (typhoid had been almost unknown In Vancouver for many years). It was reported that the opium refineries of British Columbia would be placed under federal supervision. ef2 -rF NO "YES MEN" NEED APPLY City Librarian E. S.

Robinson protested Tuesday night against closing the Public Library headquarters two days a week so that the Kitsilano branch could be kept open one day a week. Mr. Robinson quite reasonably inferred that the aldermen were favoring the Kitsilano one-day-a-week project as a political gesture and not as a genuine solution of the library problem. Now the City Council calls Mr. Robinson "disloyal" to the city and some of the aldermen would dismiss him from his post Has it become a crime in the civic organization to speak, out your honest thoughts? Does it offend the nice sensibilities of the aldermen to find a department head with courage enough to fight for his department? In short, does the Council want a bunch of insipid "yes men" in all the civic posts? If Mr.

Robinson does not fight for the Library, who will? Certainly not the aldermen. For the aldermen have gouged the Library unmercifully. The aldermen have put Mr. Robinson in the ex-asperating and impossible position of trying to effect a year's economies in eight months. Mr.

Robinson, as custodian of the Library, is best fitted of all to know what the public wants. His protests have been mild. If he passed on to the aldermen a fraction of what the people are saying about the aldermen and the Library, the Council would get a real earful. The people of Vancouver should be glad that he has the intelligence and courage to say what he believes is right hm i see As might be expected, the Herald was Norcross annoyed. But did it get rough with the Free Press? Not at all.

Its rebuke left nothing to be desired in respect of dignity and moderation, especially moderation. It said: "We feel kind of sore, and we certainly feel as any white man would feel, that the treatment meted to the lady from the Herald office left a whole lot to be desired. We do say that never, in any circumstance or under any condition, should a girl be subjected to what we do not mind classifying a3 a dirty Insult." If any fault is to be found with the manner in which the Herald has dealt with this crisis in Its afiairs for a critical situation unquestionably arises when the ambassador, and that ambassador a young lady, of one newspaper is told by those in authority in the' offices of another newspaper to go to hell it is that the Herald describes the episode is an exhibition of "damnably poor manners." The reproof would have been more severe, rather than less, had the epithet been omitted. The present writer hopes that harmony will soon be restored between the morning and evening publications of the city across the Gulf. He has, in his time, been responsible for the editorial production of each of them, having, in fact, presided over the obstetrics of the Herald early in the present century.

He has. therefore, a kindly feeling for both, which Impels him to say, ever so mildly, "Now. boys, boysl" The late Ring Lardner was one of the greatest of contemporary American humorists. Nevertheless, his writing lacked the kindliness and toleration that underlie the truest and best humor. Lardner dipped his pen into ink that seared whatever it touched.

His wit scorched the subjects of his satire. Brilliant as it was in its own saturnine vein, however, his work is not likely to live; it is too closely confined in space to a single cross-section of urban existence and, in time, to a very limited period. It dates hopelessly; the very language in which it is written will be unintelligible to another generation. But, like that of the author of "Main Street," It will form a valuable source of information for the future historian of sociological development across the border. For Lardner's acid etched deeply Into his plate, and the resulting pictures, however unpleasant, are as starkly true to the reality they portray as those of any contemporary writer.

Lardner was In the true line of succession from the sardonic Dean Swift, not of that from the gentle, sympathetic Sterne. But dust accumulates on "The Tale of a Tub," while "Tristram Shandy" is still lovingly taken down from the shelves. nf' WHAT IS YOUR OPINION? complete, as representative and as concise cross-section of public opinion as possible.

FRANK McCOY Fish are such valuable articles of diet that they deserve a place on the family menus on other days besides Friday. The meat of fish is usually less expensive than many of the cuts of meat, but it is Just as nourishing. In fact, the Rat Hunt Editor, Vancouver Sun: Dear Sir, Something should be done about the rats running around the southwest corner of the old G. N. R.

shed. Just at the rear of the City Hall. Standing upon the viaduct I have seen as many as twenty upon the pile of old "fuel sacks" which have evidently been thrown from the shed. I think an organized hunting party of fox terrier owners once a week upon the False Creek flats would soon do away with the menace. The place indicated above is by far the worst spot I have seen in the tity as they are evidently breeding under the sacks.

ROBT. DA VIES. 927 Pender St. E. composition of fish closelv resembles that POOR TOLMIE 111 If Hon.

R. H. Pocley had confined his speech in Victoria, Wednesday night, to an expression of loyalty towards Dr. Tolmie, he might have left the platform with the pitying respect of his audience. But when he went on to elaborate upon the shabby manner in which Dr.

Tolmie had been treated by the people of British Columbia, he threw a mantle of stupid hypocrisy over his whole speech. Considering the manner in which Dr. Tolmie has mismanaged the affairs of this province for the past five years, it is amazing to find that the people have stood for it as patiently as they have. Dr. Tolmie has not been treated unfairly nor shabbily.

He has not been abused by the public His complaint, if any, should be against his own Conservative members and against the Province newspaper, which, because it could not paint the whole provincial picture, has bedevilled the whole party. Under the circumstances he has been treated with unprecedented and surprising consideration by the public In almost any other part of the world Dr. Tolmie and his ministers would long since have been dismissed from office by an enraged and outraged electorate. The intelligence of the voters should not be insulted by any silly appeals to sentiment on behalf of Dr. Tolmie.

Everybody, including Dr. Tolmie and his ministers, knows what a mess they have made of things. The public is inclined to quietly forget the mess and forget the Tolmie Government Members of that sorry Government should have the good sense and the good taste to do likewise. Suspicion i 5 hi I "I of lean meat and contains no starch. Fish is rich in potassium, phosphorus and sulphur, but deficient in sodium, Iron and silicon.

For this reason it should be used in combination with leafy vegetables since they will supply the needed elements. The salt-water fish, especially, offer varying degrees of Iodine which is valuable in preventing goitre. The best way to buy fish Is In fillet form. These fish fillets consist of the muscular parts of the fish, which are cleaned, boned and wrapped to come to the kitchen all ready to be used. Among the more easily digested fishes you will find the sole, halibut, 6ea bass, pickerel, fresh end.

Cool Reception 1 i 1 Righteousness Editor, The Vancouver Sun: Dear Sir, We were agreeably surprised when we read "Loyalty's" letter, which appeared in Friday's issue of The Sun. His public advocacy of the nomination for the coming elections of humble, God-fearing men, Is considerably off the beaten track, Is it not? Many would be glad if mors sisn of such calibre were chosen to fill the high offices of the land men who, when tempted to compromise the principles of righteousness, would reply In the words of their Master, "Get thee behind me, 1940 Larson Rd. (MRS) J.

ANDERSON. Best Bet Editor, The Vancouver Sun: Dear Sir, Now that the Independents and the Bowserites and the Tolmle-ltes and all the other "ites" have apparently, and I use the word advisedly, have got together, and lined up all in a bunch against the Liberals, It would be very Interesting to find out who these gentlemen going to have as candidates or are they going to have any? Can you feature the people of this province falling for an amalgamation of this kind? All this camouflage of new parties or new movements Is only to cover up the old rotten Conservative party that has been so utterly discredited in this province. We, the voters of British Columbia, do not want this Tolmie, or this Bowser, or our Swedish friend Rolf Bruhn, and the sooner the better these people realize this, and do not waste any more time. The great heart of the electorate, the mass of the people, have already made up their minds to vote Liberal, and all the different parties that are brought forward with Intent to try and intrigue the voters will have no other effect than to react on the discredited Conservatives that are trying to put them over. The time has gone by for us to dally with questions of great moment, we can no longer afford to play with major Issues.

And today we are faced more than ever before in the history of this British Columbia of ours with this fact, that the people want men and not rubber stamps. We can put forward on the Llberaf ticket the best kind of candidates, not self seekers, not opportunists, but men of conviction and courage who are standing four square for what they believe in, liberalism, and not hiding behind all sorts of other names to try to blind the people of our province to the fact that they only want the old gang back again. 571 Richards Bt. TOOLEY FISH. Dr.

Frank McCoy Tnese flsn do not natala. much Iat as some of the other fishes, such as salmon, mackerel and herring. Fish may be boiled, broiled, grilled, fried or stewed. Broiling and baking are the best methods to use since they preserve all of the nourishing elements and do not Interfere with the digestibility of the fish. In boiling fish the water should be salted, as otherwise the fish becomes soft and breaks apart.

Fresh fish are easier to digest than that which has been pickled, smoked or canned in oil. One of the most delicious ways to serve fish is to use it with vegetables, and a salad of tomatoes, lettuce and cucumbers. The malic acid of the tomatoes seem3 to assist in the digestion of the fish when tomatoes and fish are used at the same meaL It Is best not to use starch with a fish meal, but as many cooked and raw non-starchy vegetables as desired may be used. No milk should be used with fish. Lemons seem to combine tastily with fish, and are often used as a garnish.

Great care should be used in selecting fish, with a fresh fish the skin and eyes are bright, the fins firm, the flesh a good color and does not retain a mark when pressing the finger on it, while the odor is clean and sound. Use more fish and you will find that it lowers the food cost, offers variety, and has a delicate, different flavor which your family will enjoy. By JOHN BLAKE The unhappiest people in the world are the victims of suspicion. I have known dozens of them. It seemed always to be their conviction that those with whom they associated were trying, in some diabolical fashion, to undermine them, to take their jobs away from them, or to undermine them with their employers.

I remember one time I was passing a carpenter shop, and stopped to watch a rather clumsy craftsman building a dog kennel. I was interested in his method of working, which was extremely sloppy, and stcod gazing at him till he suddenly looked up and observed me. "Get out of here," he cried. "I ain't goln' to let nobody steal my trade off me. I spent twenty years in learnin' this business." I could have told him that his twenty years hadn't given him very much aptitude, but I didn't want to hurt his feelings, so I moved on and let him continue to bungle his task.

You succeed or fail in this life according to your training and ability. What you tuck away In the convolutions of your brain as the years go by becomes your capital. Nobody can look into that brain and see what is there. Nobody can rob you of what you have been taught by experience and training, either in schools or by your own efforts as the years passed by. You have no reason to fear that anybody will undermins you, even though they may try to do so.

Learn all you can; store it away where you can find It when you want it, and then go your way unworried. If office politicians plot your downfall, pay no attention to them. They are so busy with their schemes that they forget to do their work acceptably, and they will not long trouble you. If you have a boss whom you suspect of not liking you, prove to hini that his Judgment has been mistaken, Keep your mind on your own Job. Do it the best you know how, and continue to Improve your knowledge of It.

Use your brains more than you use your hands. And If others Inspired by envy try to lay traps for you, pay no attention to them. Unfortunately in this world there are many envious and malicious people. But they can't harm you If you avoid them and stick to what you are doing without troubling yourselves concerning them. I have known many 'attempts on the part of ne'er-do-wells to Injure industrious and useful fellow workers, but I have as yet to observe such a person who succeeded In his purpose, or who did not in time bring about his own downfall by his plots and schemes.

Nobody wno spends his time seeking to Injure others can succeed. And no one who attends to his own business and does it the best he knows how can be hurt by the envy and malice of anyone around him. Corporativism Editor, Vancouver Sun: Sir, That Lions' Gate Bridge, my, what a problem! As I understand it there Is a company that has probably one hundred million dollars they would like to invest in Vancouver, and as I understand the articles I have been reading the Province newspaper. Said paper don't appear to think we are in need of their investments. Otherwise, who are they trying to protect? I can't think of any one unless it might be the C.

P. R. and I don't think the C. P. R.

needs their sympathy or support. As to West Vancouver being a nice residental district If the bridge is built, we will admit, but it will be populated by a class who can afford to pay the bridge tolls and don't worry, the business will always be done on the south side of the harbor. Look at San Francisco building a bridge over their harbor costing between 60 and 90 millions. The Province asked Mayor Taylor to put his cards on the table. Why don't the Province put their cards on the table? In my opinion, Mayor Taylor Is working In the Interests of all, and let me conclude by saying that I firmly believe that any of the Council that votes against the bridge wiir get a cool reception If he ever seeks office again.

J. M. TELFORD. 1134 Burrard Street. Time-Saver Editor, Vancouver Sun: Dear Sir, One of the points of view not yet touched on concerning the proposed First Narrows Bridge is the saving in distance and time that will be effected by the use of this Bridge.

The auto-traveling public would save 8 miles between the P. O. and Hollyburn, or 2 miles between the P. O. and Lonsdale, and this means considerable to a business man.

A passenger using the ferries takes one-half hour between Ambleside and the N. Vancouver ferry landing, In the city, and practically the same time by using a bus and the North Vancouver ferry to the same point, to which must be added at least 5 minutes for distance to the Vancouver P. making a total of thirty-five (35) minutes. A person using an auto and driving 25 miles per hour would reach Hollyburn in about 10 minutes, or if he were going to Lonsdale would arrive there in under 15 minutes. There has been some talk regarding the payment of tolls on the proposed bridge.

I have never been fortunate enough to go over the Second Narrows Bridge without paying my way, and have also had to buy a ticket every time I traveled on the Ferries; there may be some fortunate enough to get across the water without paying but there are not many, so I fall to see any difference between paying a toll to cross the proposed new bridge, than to buy your passage on the Second Narrows bridge or on the Ferries. The actual spanning of the water separating the shores Is, I understand, a matter over which we voters have no control, since navigable waters are purely Federal, and not Provincial affairs. I therefore believe that those authorities can safely be trusted to see that no structure is erected that will not amply fill all specifications set forth for the present and future navigation of the Lions' Gate. G. B.

JOY. Hollyburn, B. C. Editor, Vancouver Sun: Sir, The article, "Socialization of Industry" of Fortune Magazine, published in The Sun, does not define the real nature of the NRA. To assume that the Industrial Recovery Act of 1933 Is socialistic is erroneous.

The NRA does not interfere with the ownership of property nor with private initiative. It merely controls through the codes the operation of industry, with the object in view of assuring public Welfare and a more equable distribution of the national income. The most that one could say Is that the NRA promotes the socialization of the operation of industry which cannot be classed as socialism, because it Is a well known method of government: corporativism. The socialization of Industry would have Involved the danger of the state being absorbed In the satanlc and tortuous folds of state management and state planning, which are peculiar to Socialism with the consequent creation of huge bureaucracies. The pure materialistic economlsm Is not verified In the U.

8. A. There is an effort to adjust production to consumption because the process of distribution has failed to function. What Roosevelt is creating is not a socialistic state but an ethical state embodying the rights and Interests of all its citizens; quite a different thing from the state advocated by Marx: the dictatorship of the proletariat or worker over all the other classes. The NRA does not interfere with private ownership nor private Initiative.

Socialism on the other hand says: whatever is socially operated must be socially owned. The codes compel labor, capital and Industry to operate for the benefit of society, and set the U. S. A. on the highway of the most up-to-date method of government, which Is not Socialism but Corporativism.

ANSWERS Dr. Frank McCoy's great book, "The Faat Way to Health" (300 pages), gives you the mechanics of health in plain, easily onder-stqod language. By special arrangement they may be purchased from The Vancouver Eun at $1.00. Every home should have a copy. Question R.

I. writes: "I would like to know your opinion of chiropractic treatments. I am no chiropractor or follower of any one health method; I merely ask for your unbiased opinion," Answer The fact that practically every state in the American Union hrj a law regulating the practice of chiropractic is assurance that there is a great deal of recognized value in this method of treatment. Chiropractic is defined as the science of adjusting the spinal vertebrae with the hands by means of a specific thrust. There is much difference of opinion about whether or not the spinal vertebrae actually get out of position, but there Is no question but what the stimulation given to the spinal nerves through chiropractic treatment is helpful in bringing about Increased tone to those parts of the body which received the added stimulation.

Question Mrs. Grace T. asks: "Is liquid paraffin oil a safe laxative to take?" Answer Paraffin oil may be used as an intestinal lubricant, but cannot be considered a laxative. It is a safe thing to use while you are correcting constipation through removing Its cause. Question Mrs.

asks: What Is your opinion of canned milk for coffee?" Answer Canned milk would not make any more trouble than fresh milk, but, If you must drink coffee, try using It black. Much of the harmful effect from coffee is, no doubt, due to the use of sugar and cream with which the coffee Is flavored. However, canned milk is fully as wholesome as raw milk if used for cooking purposes. Dr. McCoy will reply In confidence 10 personal enquiries made to him In care of this paper.

PREPARE FOR CHANGE One of the most perplexing things about living in 1933 is that the world's leading thinkers seem quite unable to make up their minds whether we are ap-proaching a sunset or a dawn. If you nose through the books, magazine articles and interviews in which thoughtful men try to appraise the present situation you will find two schools of thought represented. According to one school, the end of all things is at hand and a great darkness is about to settle down over the waters. Capitalism is done for, western civilization is about to collapse and the world is about to enter a new dark age.

According to the other school, our woes are just the birth pangs of a new order of life. We are going through a great change and paying for it in misery and confusion, but when the change is finished things will be almost infinitely better than they were before. There will be more freedom and less poverty, more peace and less war, more happiness and less desperate uncertainty. Each crew of prognosticators can assemble a multitude of facts and a whole string of clever arguments to prove its case. You can get damnation with your morning coffee and salvation with your after-dinner cigarette if you like, and each forecast will seem to be absolutely fool-proof.

Now all of this, however conflicting it may be, seems to indicate one thing indisputably; that we have reached one of history's great turning points and that, no matter what the future brings us, it is going to be something different than what wc have had before. For better or for worse, we have come upon a time of change, and those of us who do not like change seem to be very much out of luck. Yet it is also quite possible that the seers are mostly wrong. The disasters they foresee may not be quite as bad as they expect; the improvements may leave us only a little bit better off than we were. The important thing is that we accept the fact that some sort of change is coming and prepare our minds for it.

FREE BALLOONING The airplane pilot may have a job that brings a lot of thrills and excitement, but it sometimes looks as if the fellow who flics a free balloon is even more likely to lead an adventurous life. The experiences of two teams in the recent James Gordon Bennett race seem to bear that out prccty thoroughly. The Polish balloon came down far up in a Canadian forest and for days it was believed that its two occupants had perished. At last they showed up, alive and well and then all hands turned to look for the other lost balloon which, it was feared, had drifted out over the open sea. That balloon likewise turned up a few days later, and its fliers were found in an Ontario forest, bruised, half-starved, sick and exhausted.

The experiences of these two teams seem tn indicate that balloon racing is now about as purposeless and dumb a sport as modern life affords. Expediency By Angelo Patri "Kitty, come here."
