WEDNESDAY, JUNE 20, 1928 TRIIIR 'A NEW INDUSTRY--"IF AND WHEN!" Those who are congratulating themselves and the City on the acquisition of a new in- dustry--a brewery--should not be too con- fident with regard to the realization of this expectation, Nor should those who are opposed to the establishment of a brewery in Oshawa, either from personal conviction or civic wel- fare, be unduly disturbed, Judging from a statement made to the press recently by Sir Henry Drayton, Chair- man of the Liquor Control Board, there is not much likelihood of a license being grant- ed for the proposed brewery or any other new breweries in the Province of Ontario. There are now 38 breweries in operation in this Province and Sir Henry has pointed out that their combined brewing capacity is 273,686 gallons per day. The total gallonage sold to consumers of the Province through "controlled" channels during the month of May was less than 800,000 gallons, In other words, the present capacity of Ontario brew- eries is equal to about mine times the re- quirements of the Province so far as those requirements are known to the Liquor Con- trol Board, which is supposed to have a monopoly of the sale of liquor in Ontario. Commenting on the present situation. Sir Henry Drayton further declared: "The Liquor Control Act gives absolutely no justi- fication for a multiplication of breweries in Ontario. The installed capacity is already very large. The number of breweries is very large." There is another aspect of the situation that may also prove embarrassing to the promoters of the proposed new brewery. This is with reference to its plan of financ- ing. As we understand it the Liquor Control Board looks with special disfavor upon ap- plications for licenses from brewing com- panies whose financing is dependent upon the sale of stock to the public. It may be that the Budweiser Brewing Company of Canada Limited has obtained from private sources all of the .money it requires for its undertakings. No definite statement on that point has been made publicly so far as we know. However, if it is the intention of this Company to offer stock to the public, then its chances of securing a license are that much more remote. Public sentiment in Oshawa may also be g factor in the granting or withholding of a hie: ay. It would seem to us quite in order that the Liquor Control Board should give some consideration to the expressed sentiment of a community in which it is proposed to establish a brew- ery. Of course, it must be remembered that the Industrial Committee of the Chamber of Commerce and City Council have simply act- ed in their official capacity in this matter and such action does not necessarily in- dicate any personal endorsement of the pro- ject on their part. It is the business of this Committee and of the Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce to secure new indus- tries for Oshawa and so long as those in- dustries have a proper legal standing the Committee and Secretary may feel that their own personal views with regard to any particular industry should not be allowed to influence them. Looking at the proposition without any personal bias or prejudice, we think our readers will agree 'that the proposed new in- dustry has still at least one very importants hurdle to jump, and judging from the atti- tude of the Liquor Control Board its chances of -getting over this hurdle are not very bright. Under those circumstances we would suggest that those who consider the estab- lishment of a brewery a desirable accom plishment, engage in no premature rejoic- ing. It is quite evident that all announce- ments regarding Oshawa's new industry should be preceded with the qualifying clause, "if and when!" oe iam MECHANICAL SALESMANSHIP The robot is going into business, securely backed by $25,000,000 capital. He is going to hand out chewing gum, candy, cigarettes and other ar- ticles and say "thank you". to each of his customers. He will occupy space in of- fice buildings, stores, stations and on 'street corners, and if his early ventures prove suc- cessful, he will operate an entire department store. : The robot has traveled far from his an- cestor, the penny-in-the-slot machine. He has become important and dignified in a commercial way, and he expects to make a lot of money. This is a day of mass sales no less than of mass production, and the automatie vending machine has demonstra- ted its ability to sell to the masses. For years they have been taking the hu- man element out of salesmanship, Though slow, the process has not been imperceptible, It had its beginning in that dim past when business reached that stage in its growth that shopkeepers could no longer keep in their mental files the name and peculiar tastes of each customer. Once it was the genial merchant who greeted each customer by name who captured the balance of trade. Saon it will be the robot speaking a stereo- typed "thank you" that will be depended upon to move standardized merchandise from maker to consumer, Long have stenographers and children had their gum machines, smokers their match vending machines, travelers their drinking cups, and calorie-cautious women their penny weighing machines. What we need most is a coin-in-the-slot gasoline and oil machine for the many motorists who are constantly running out of gas after all service stations have closed for the night. ANTICIPATION Every fisherman and hunter knows that the joy we get out of life is not the joy we aimed for but greater. The same with good workmen who at the beginning work well that they may prosper in the end but find as the years pass that the real joy was in the labor, not labor's wages. Anticipated pleasures and joys are never realized, for anticipation ever builds higher and more beautiful castles than realization, albeit anticipation builds hers' of air. It is therefore the unexpected joy, the unantici- pated reward that brings happiness undi- luted. These dispatches of delight are like the unheralded letter from the long missing or bringing much wished-for but unexpected news. What boy or girl will forget the prize won in school and the finding under the Christmas tree the very gift they had hardly dared dream of? "Oh, the unexpected joys that meet us just around the corner of life," is the favor- ite motto of Helen Keller, the deaf, dumb and blind philanthropist. ' So it is in life a good policy to expect the unexpected by preparing for it. Often the last key on the ring opens the lock.

Bit of Verse TWILIGHT When the purple shades of night come creeping, And the sun has gone down in the west, The birds settle down for their sleeping, With one drowsy chirp 'fore they rest. There's a faint distant lowing of cattle, And a breeze wafts sweet scents as you dream; You are far from the bustle and rattle, Just soothed by the low-gurgling stream. The green leaves whisper soft to each other, You seem far from the world that is true, One flower nods good-night to another, All this is what twilight can do. --TFlorence Bennett 4 At a Glance | The fire has come and gone. Remains of the famous old rink and five homes are the only evi- dence of what disastrous occur- rence followed the devastation by fire of practically a whole block of homes, barns, stables and gar- ages, it is a shame, not because we value the rink so highly, because we abhored the thing in our hearts, but that we should allow the demon, fire, which takes so many lives and such a great deal of property each year, to practical- ly take matters in its own hands and wipe out so many of Osha- wa's residences. Five at once! We can only realize the immensity of the outrage by imagining the families, turned out, perhaps with no other place to go. And from hat it seems, the source of the ire was not from spontaneous combustion or even any other self-started affair. We must ar- rive at a conclusion as to how the fire started. This only will sat- isfy the families of those who have lost homes, valuables, everything, in the city's second greatest con- flagration. Ll The cause of a fire such as took place Tuesday morn. ing is unknown, so to speak. Discarded cigarettes, defec. tive wiring, and many other imaginations for the truth at once present themselves to our minds, but are thrown away until we hear from the proper officials, what they themselves, who are situated in proper conditions, give out to the public as an official finding. LJ LJ] How about a new rink? Every decent sized city possesses one. Winter sports demand one. Inter- city games necessitate one, What is going to happen, and what will be the final outcome? Of course, it is rather an early date to jump to conclusions, but iteis the agita- tion of those who commence in the beginning, that the final thing fs accomplished. Let's hope that we won't have to play hockey at the "Lake" next winter. LJ LJ . To see the block after the five last night, as hundreds did, one might imagine it was a fair ground or exhibition park after all the fairway had moved out, Twisted metal and a number of up- right posts marked the graves of where a house or barn once stood, Wagons dropped in their tracks, lit- erally speaking, and even the metal rims of the wheels were still encircling the hubs of the wagon. After all, there is the humorous side to the affair. We could get nowhere without a little op- timism, and so we gaze on the ruins delighted that the fire d was pped in his work before more homes, and there were plenty in the immediate vicinity, became prey to the flames. LJ LJ . So will conditions remain. Per- haps the town will erect angther rink, perhaps not. Perhaps the town will purchase a 1,000 gallon pumper for the fire department, perhaps not. At any rate, we will live in hopes. ' . LJ What of Nobile? art thou, *Nobile," conquer- or of the Arctic? How canst we find thee when thon art drifting about on an ice pan.

The Government should make it compulsory here, as in the United States, that where a foreign flag is shown, the flag of the ~fountry, equal in size, shall be shown beside it. Right Hon. W. L. M. King is unwilling to give such a rule the force of law, and it is not difficult to appreciate his difficulty No first class statesman would con- sider legislating against the flag of any one nation. And if the legis- lation were made generally applie- able to the flag of any foreign power, what would Mr. King be up against in Quebec, where the tri- color is at least as familiar as the Union Jack. JUDICIAL SALARIES (Toronto Telegram) Complaint that Canada is paying her judges less than almost all other judges in the Empire must be read in connection with the fact that Canada pays her Supreme Court judges $1,320,000 a year where England and Wales pay Su- perfor Court judges $803,000 a year, Consideration must also he given to the fact that in England and Wales there are 32 such judges to a population of 7,000, 000, while in Canada there are 29 such judges to a population of one- quarter that of England and Wales. Individual Superior Court judges in England and Wales receive high- er salaries than individual Super- for Court judges in Canada DRUMMING UP TRADE (The New Yorker) A guest at the Savoy Plaza was quite wrought up last week be- cause on opening his wife's mail (she was abroad), he discovered a printed card from a lawyer in Yucatan, Mexico, explaining how simple it was for anyone to get a divorce in that benign republic. On the back was written: "After you read this ecard, will you be so kind as to pass it to someone who would benefit by its informa- tion?' It turned out that many socially prominent ladies in New York (all listed in the Social Reg- ister, we suspect), had received the same card--which not only guaranteed satisfaction, but told you how to get to Yucatan and what to bring. GREAT NATIONAL ASSET (Regina Leader) Holiday travel is taking a place with the Dominion's greatest na- tional assets. According to govern- ment returns, revenue from vaca- tionists in the Dominion grew from $83,734,000 in 1920 to $190,463,- 000 in 1926. It is estimated that in 1928 the favorable balance of tourist traffic, after deducting the expenditures of Canadians in other countries, amounted to £100,420, 000, representing an invisible ex- port exceeded only by Canadian wheat and newsprint. In 1927 all the provinces recorded increases in travel over the previous year, and the total revenue accruing to the Dominion from this source is de- clared by the minister of the in- terior to have been approximately $260,000,000. It is believed that this total] will be doubled within the next ten years. TOO MUCH GAS (Vancouver Province) (The waste of natural Bas in the Calgary district amounts to 50,- 000000 cubic feet a day. Turner Valley gas is wet gas. has a large naptha content and the naptha production depends on the volume of the gas flow. If the wells are to be productive, there- fore, the gas must flow, and, scem- ingly if the gas must flow, thous- ands of dollars of value must flow away. It is possible the gas might be exported. But there is the same objection to exporting natura] gag fromr Canada as there is to export ing power from the St. Lawrence. It would develop competing indus- tries in the United States and ecre- ate vested interests there which might make it necessary to con- tinue the export even after the de- velopment of a Canadian demand. The | It | Scout Notes | "To help others at all times." These words, part of the Scout oath, are thus so simply stated that we wonder why there appears to be so much mystery in the | minds of some people regarding the Boy Scouts. Such examples of good fellow- ship as the work of the 2nd Troop in their work at N. Simcoe Street Sunday School and the tireless ef- forts of the 6th Troop which are enabling them to assist in the formation of another troop in Ce- dardale, only too well prove the worth of such work. More boys than ever are wanting to become good citizens through the work and play of scouting and the expansion go- ing on in Oshawa is a just return for the hard work done by the Scoutmasters of Oshawa. Such rapid growth has brought before the men {interested in scouting, the problem of forming a Local Association to govern the destinies of the various troops in Oshawa. With this object in view Commissioner Irwin of Prov- incial Headquarters will be in town this evening for a confer- ence with local Scoutmasters ang committee men. It is hoped that each one inter- ested in such an association will be present at this meeting at the Y.M.C.A. at 8 o'clock. 1f such an organization is form- ed it will bring under a centraliz- ed control the various troops and will allow them to unite their ef- forts towards the eommon goal of more troops and better ones, Patrol Leader Willis McLeese of the 5th Oshawa and a chum, a member of the Port Whitby troop, have been the first to take an ov- er night hike this Spring. They report that the trip was a success in every respect and that they en- joyed themselves immensely. It is hoped that the rest of the 5th Troop will now take advan- tage of their new week-end camp- gite, on the Conlin property, and make their week-end camps a great success, The 5th Oshawa would like to take the' opportunity to thank Mr. Conlin for permission to use this ideal spot. Scoutmaster Pearson and Troop Leader Bill Stonehouse of the 1st Thornton's Corners Troop went visiting last Friday evening and in their journey met the 4th and 6th Oshawa. Bill Stone- house demonstrated the correct method of tying the tenderfoot knots to the 5th Oshawa boys, Scoutmaster Blow of Porl Whitby troop likewise ventured from home and also visited the 4th and 5th boys. The 1st Thornton's Corners and the 5th Oshawa Troop wil' | hold a joint meeting on June 29 to indulge in Scout games and other interesting pastimes. 1st Thornton's Corners will meet at Headquarters on Friday evening at 7.30 p.m. : 2nd Oshawa Troop as usual on Tuesday Headquapters, 4th Oshawa as usual, Hth Oshawa Troop will meet on Friday at 7.30 at the North Sim- coe Street School and proceed north to the woods where games and instructions in wooderaft will fill the evening. 6th Oshawa Troop will meet on Wednesday ot 7.30 at Headquar- ters.
