To merely exceed an objective is common enough in this age of intensive organization, but to exceed the figure aimed at by 130 per cent, is an achievement of which any city may well be proud. Not only was the cam- paign highly successful from the standpoint of finances but the sales army also did a magnificent piece of work in securing a membership list of over 500. Under such remarkably favorable circum- stances Oshawa's new - Chamber of Com- merce is bound to succeed, The vision and energy. which made possible the success of the campaign must and will be applied to the completion of the organization and the directing of its work into safe and useful channels, Mr, G. W, McLaughlin, the General Chair- man, who gave splendid leadership to the campaign, Mr, G, D. Conant, who was close- ly associated with him, and the other execu- tives and all of the workers are deserving of the highest congratulation on the magnifi- cent results they obtained, A hundred or more men gave unselfishly of their time and effort because they believed sincerely in the purpose of the campaign and they now have the satisfaction which always accompanies the successful completion of any worthy task, Tribute should also be paid to the Ameri- ean City Bureau and its courteous and ener- getic representative, Mr. James Blythe. No doubt many people were doubtful of the wis- dom or necessity of securing professional assistance to help put the campaign over, but the results have amply demonstrated the advisability of this action. In putting over the Chamber of Com- merce campaign so successfully Oshawa has not only demonstrated its ability to do big things in a big way, but incidentally the campaign has re-discovered that intangible thing which we call community spirit, and without which no city can hope to attain its highest ideals in any sphere of activity. HONESTY OF THE YOUNG Scientific investigators are learning many facts about children which it is suspected parents have long known. After the ex- perts have learned all there is to learn from their three years' study of "honesty" among school children, they will probably know no more than every parent of a mormal child already knows. Tests have been devised to discover ten- dencies to lie, cheat or steal. At the same time ordinary intelligence tests were given in order to show the relation between good sense and good character, if any, The re- sults indicate the most intelligent child is likely to be most honest, A number of questions designed to probe the religious and filial feelings were answer- ed as might have been expected, and the children were convicted of "over-statement." Apparently they all thought it desirable that they should seem pious and dutiful, and they said that they thought it their duty to read the Bible every day, to pick up broken glass in the street, to speak kindly to their parents and instructors, and to try to get the license number of a motor vehicle if they suspected the driver of speeding. Most children have an uncanny knack of reading the mind of a questioner, They are as shrewdly observant as monkeys, and a really intelligent inquirer often has to resort to trickery to get to the bottom of their busy little minds. : EDITORIAL NOTES Emotion is the basis of good fortune, says a lecturer.

Yi the people of the United States want that sort of applesauce they will, no doubt, get all of it they care to make or pay for, but they need neither be surprised nor vexed to learn that they can't feed it to child- ren outside their own nurseries. Mr. Will Hayes, whose job it is, should advise the producers to class- ify their films, some for the domestic market only, and the rest as design- ed both for home use and for ex- rt.

SAFETY IN 1842 AND 1027 (From the Report of the Guggen- heim Fund) Considering the short history of aviation, the standard of safety today is very high. Two reports from England, one this year, the other eighty-five years ago, offer an interesting comparison of the safety of railroads at the begin- ning of their development as com- pared with the airplane. Accord- ing to a recent announcement Im- perial Airways, Ltd., carried 652, 000 passengers over 2,500,000 miles in 1927 without injury to a single passenger. # On June 14, 1842, the London Times stated: "The number of passengers carried on the eight railway lines numbered 10,508, the distance 3,662,338 miles year- ly. In this time only fifty-six pas- sengers were injured, twenty-two were killed." WINES OF QUALITY (H. Warner Allen in Pearson's Magazine) always grown in a sterile, inhos pitable soil on which no other plant but the vine can flourish The vine is only at its best waen it has to struggle against odds for its existence. Rich soll nray pro- duce great qualities of grape julee, but the wine therefrom is never worthy of a connoisseur's consid- eration, Big, fleshy grapes are Loo loaded with water ever to make good wine. Quality and quantity never go together. The finest wine grapes only grow on a vine which has unceasingly to struggle against the barren unkindness of the soil. It is the fault of some British wines that they are grown on soil too rich to give the grapes a chance of producing a wine of quality. AGAINST HIGHER GASOLINE TAX (From Financial, Post, Toronto) The gasoline tax has proven to he too easy a source of provin- cial revenue. Hnrrassed provin- cial treasurers are tempted to in- crease the tax as an easy way to bring more money into the trea- sury. Ontario threatened an in- crease, then weakened, and now, again, seems to be flirting with the increase. If Ontario raises its present three-cent tax other prov- inces are likely to follow suit. Quebec has already gone to a five- cent tax. It may reasonably be question- ed if a three cent a gallon tax on gasoline is pot high enough for Capadiap conditions. The revenue it provides, added to the revenue from license fees, represents as large a sum as motorists of the present generation should be ask- ed to pay for the construction and maintenance of permanent high- ways. In fact, nearly every prov- ince. in Canada collects in automo- bile taxes more than its yearly highway bill. In some American States, the gasoline tax has beep carried to extremes. Two states tax gasoline to the tune of five cents a gal- lon, and in eleven states the tax is over three cents a gallon. And in the States, it must be remember- ed, the gallon contains only 120 ounces, as against 160 ounces in Canada. But these high taxes across the border present no fair precedent for Canada. On . the other hand, they provide a warn- ing. They have made the gasoline tax, formerly accepted with equa- nimity, an unpopular tax in mrany states. The situation has been made worse by the entry of some cities into the gasoline tax field and there are communities where the municipal tax is four cents and is paid in addition to a heavy state tax. The day of reckoning is coming for these states and cities. Motorists are quiet now only because gasoline is cheap When gasoline prices rise they will storm the tax fortress and insist on a fairer premium on motoring. One reason why a high gasotine tax is an unreasonable proposi- tion for Canada is that gasoline prices are themselves very high. They represent virtually the limit that the motorist can pay for nis fuel. Any additional sum above the toll he pays the gasoline trust and the smaller refiners who fol- low the level of prices fixed by the trust, will tend to reduce his ability to make full use of his motor car and will thus defeat the purpose of the tax, which is to in- crease revenues and make road construction possible.

PICKERING The members of the Swastika Club chartered a bus on Wednes- day afternoon and went to Toron- to to see "The Desert Song." by an English Company, now playing at the "Royal Alexandria." Mr. John Quinlan had the mis- fortune to break his wrist while cranking his car on Sunday morn- ing. The injured member is pro- gressing favorably. The oratorical contest which was hela at the Continuation School here on Friday afternoon, in connection with the Canadian and International Championship contest, in which thirteen pupils competed, was wom by Muriel Westney, a Third Form pupil. Her sister, Margaret Westney, was awarded second place and Winnie Wood, of Dunbarton, third. Rev. J. 8. Ferguson, Geo. Barker, school trustee, and Geo. Wallace, public school principal, were the judges. Miss Wesney, who is the daughter of Mrs. W. H. West- ney, has a splendid scholastic ree- ord, having obtained the highest marks in the township on the en- trance examination. She has been president of the school lit- erary soclety for two terms, and has a high standing in the athletic life of the school. The Pickering Town Hall was crowded to the doors on Tuesday evening when the Y.P.S. of St. An- drew's United Church presented their drama "Wanted--A Wife," everyone being anxious to see how the young people of the commun- ity would conduct themselves up- on the platform. By the numer- ous remarks heard since the per- formance one would gather that they were not disappointed. The play, written by Mrs. C. R. Ander- son, was filled with clean, refined humor, and the players did their best to bring out the funny situa- tions throughout and succeeded, if the mirth of the audience were any indication. Each actor seem- ed to be well suited for his or her part. The cast of characters were: Richard Wilkins, in search George Field; Jacob Flint, lawyer, Grant Arnot; Pe- tunia, Vera Foster, Richard's friends, Mrs. G. Field, Dorothy Andrew, Nellie Arnot; father, just plain Crabbe, Mr. H. Wesney; mother, of aristocratic birth, Mrs. J. Stork; Marie, with ambitions, Marjorie Robertson; Mabel, her father's daughter, Muriel West- ney; Jack, a chip off the old block Lyndon Cronk; Grandma, from Boggsville, Jean Clarke; Jane, the country cousin, Marjor- ie Annan; Nora, the maid, Chris- sie Munro. Not a little contribu- tion to the success of the play was made by Mr. Lashmore, pian- ist, and Mr. Wright, violinist, of Toronto, who provided the music between the acts, and whose ap- propriate selections kept the audi- ence in a receptive frame of mind. Following the performance the young people were entertained at the home of Mr. and Mrs, Grant Arnot, when the cast presented M. 8. Chapman with a copy of "Jack Miner and the Birds" in appreciation of his untiring ef- forts in training them, pa of a wife, EE ---- -- of whom | The finest qualities of wine are CHEVROLET OWNERS Reduce the Hazard of Mechanical Upkeep Have a skilled craftsman service and check your Chevrolet regularly.
