Business is the lifeblood of the commun ity, A city or town can grow no faster than its business grows, And the retail trade is a vital part of this business, Many patrons of mail order houses and out-of-town stores do not realize the extent they injure their own community and them- selves by diverting their trade from home town merchants, They do not realize that they lose far more than the few cents they - may save in the immediate transaction, Industries bring money to a community, but the community benefits only when that money is spent at home, It gets no benefit from the money if it passes directly from the pay envelope to the mail order house, the degree it does benefit being in direct ratio to the length of time it remains in los cal circulation, The well-meaning housewife reasons with herself that Oshawa merchants will not miss the few cents accompanying the mail order or the small purchase in the nearby city, She is at fault only in that she does not rea- son far enough, Those few cents would re- main at home and that small purchase would -be made in a local store if she multiplied them by the number of housewives in the community, Almost anything that can be purchased sway from Oshawa can be obtained here, nd with equal economy, « BT, SWITHIN'S DAY © Perhaps Mrs, Fartington's attempt to sweep up the Atlantic ocean, preceded by thet King Canute tide recession edict, was no more 8 dismal failure than are the con- tinuous efforts to explode some of the fami- lisr and favourite superstitions, The basic threads of the ridiculous St. Swithin fabric have been exposed as false and serious at- tempts to verify the weather forecast during # course of years have shown its utter fall- ney, Interesting and amusing as a bit of folklore, it makes the brain a storage ware- house of errors where facts might be kept, Back in 800 A.D,, so the legend runs, St, Bwithin, of Winchester, dying, adjured his attendants to bury him outside the church jn the yard where the eaves-droppings might fall upon his grave and passers-by tread on it. A century later the priests re- solved to exhume the body and re-inter it left it only as so much ignorance fit for the i oblivion. The quatrain that con- the 40-day rain prediction need not be ~~ quoted. Its almost exact parallel is found French folklore, the day. there being Ever since the motion-picture business be- came a great commercial success the old quarrel between movie and theatre has gone largely in favour of the former, This is, of course, to speak of them both with no glance at whatever art there may be in them, Fi. nancially and popularly speaking, the battle has gone steadily to the movies, The thea« trical "road" has turned into a weedy path, overgrown from increasing disuse, The movies are housing themselves in palaces, While the town "opery house" grows duller and dustier each year, the village movie sur- rounds itself with the most sumptuous ar- chitecture, A shift may soon be perceived if a trend now visible continues, In those towns where the cinema is most firmly entrenched the non-professional drama is taking hold, It will be something of a shock to the motion picture houses to find real competition in amateur theatricals, The secret is that the "home-talent play" is no longer the old-fashioned society func- tion which used to give people an excuse for a party, Nor is it what the director of one Little Theatre says it was as recently as ten years ago, "a parking place for wives," To penetrate into the causes for the change is the work of a psychologist, economist or philosopher, Though one cannot get at all the complex reasons for the increasing strength of the Little Theatre movement, it seems clear that it offers better entertainment than the mo. vies in giving so many an opportunity for personal activity, Against the formidable millions of the movies it offers first-hand ex- perience in acting, designing, costuming, scene painting, direction, producing and even in writing, EDITORIAL NOTES Patience is considered a virtue when it often is merely a case of not knowing what to do, 1 Hard work beats finding a four-leaf clover as a sign of good luck, It is suspected that some women distrust their intuition when they consider the hus- bands they picked, Still, a8 lot of contentment in the world is merely the frame of mind of the man who says, "What's the use?" But of Verse THREE BOYS I've seen a lot of monuments To men, I've even seen a few Erected at a great expense To certain noble women, too. But there's a woman they have missed With all their bronze and bright alloys, The one who ought to head the list-- The woman who has raised three boys. Men always speak of Joan of Arc And talk of Florence Nightingale; They put their statues in the park, And books sbout them are for sale, She plunged into the battle's tide, But what knew even Joan of noise And conflict and the like, beside The woman who has raised three boys? Miss Nightingale had men to nurse, And I admit that's weary toil; But bere's 2 woman who had worse-- To give three youngsters castor oil, The shouting and the tumult dies, I'd let her now and then sit down, The woman who has raised three boys. a ar slogan "All the uite cor- unexaggerated.

Henry, Minister of Highways, quite properly depre- cates rhanufacturers of automobiles emphasizing speed as a selling point in their cars. In view of the campaign for highway safety with the speed limit fixed at 36 miles per hour why should manu- facturers and salesmen instil into purchasers of cars the necessity of buying machines which when driven at a speed much over half their limit result in breaking of the law and approach the point where they are most potentially dangerous? LA AS CANADIANS AND AMERICANS (Woodstock Sentinel-Review) There may he a few people, who are sticklers for exactitude, who would insist on the citizens of Can- ada sharing in the general appella- tion of "American." For the most part, however, the people of this country are quite well satisfied to have the term used only in fits present sense, to designate United States citizens as apart from those living in other countries on the continent of America, The great majority of the people of this country have sufficient pride in the title of 'Canadian' to make themy use that name and no other, and with general usage confining "Americans" to those living in the United States, they would prefer that a strong distinction be made hetween "Americans" and dians." A SATISFYING THE ORAZE (Welland Evening Tribune) The standardization of life, that has come with an advanced state of civilization, has caused the hu- man mania for adventure to adopt strange methods. A case in point is the navigation of Niagara Falls in a specially constructed rubber hall. ok 2 There is no advantage to hu- manity in general to discover that 2 man can get over the Niagara Falls intact by sealing himself in- to a covering of rubber. However, the man who accomplished the feat has gained a satisfying notoriety. He has appeased a disturbing per- sonal ambition to do something novel and daring, something In which the risk was so great that death must be the penalty of fail. ure. M Those who are possessed of the mania that inspired the adventure at Niagara are vymluable members of the race. From that class are recruited the discoverers, the pio- neersof paths that open up new avenues of endeavor for the less adventurous. It is true that many of them waste their energies in use- less effort. Some, - however, ac- complish big things in really bene- ficial undertakings, * FATALITIES IN INDUSTRIES INCREASE (Whitby Gazette and Chronicle) Up to the end of June, the Work- men's Compensation Board had received reports of 276 fatalities in industry, covering the first hat of 1928. This is higher than the previous six mopths where there were 243 fatalities. Commenting on these, R. B. Morley, general manager, Industrial Accident Pre- vention Associations, said that there had been 5,157 fatalities re- ported to the Board in thirteen years, on an average of almost four bundred for each year. The ay- erage cost of a death under com- pensation is about $3,600 for all cases and where dependents are left the figures are much higher. In- dustrial fatalities are usually look- ed upon as being the usual type of accident yet a close analysis of the figures reveals that most of these sre due to fairly common causes and that often the degree of sever- ity is purely an "accident." In June the Compensation Board received a total of 6,806 reports on accidents including 37 fatalities. In the same month, awards totalled $536,962.47, of which $101,783.98 was for medical aid. The total awards for the first half of 1928 amounted to $3,515,124.17, (n- cluding $677,849.66 for medical aid. Total awards for the last half of 1927, were $3,093,157.02 of which $539,865.30 was for medica: aid. & ~% po 8 GOD CARES--Rob not the poor, because he is poor: neither oppress the afllicted in the gate: for the Lord will plead their cause, and spoil the soul of those that spoiled --Proy. 22:22, 23."

The fines im today amounted to $2,280, which, with fines Tnpoted a few days ago, make the total $4. 280. Payment of the fines has not been made yet and will be left in abeyance, it is understood, until the appeal of the jitney men from the convictions imposed by Magistrate Jelfs is decided in a higher court. Magistrate Jelfs made it clear to D. A. J. Swanson, counsel for the jitney drivers, that while only one case was dealt with last Monday, and only one today, it followed that all convictions would stand or be quash- ed, according to the decision of =a higher court when the appeal is heard. Only one case has been heard on each occasion because the evi- dence of all would only be a repeti- tion and it was considered doubtful if these could be heard in one day, INTEREST IS SHOWN IN CASTING PRACTICES Great interest continues to be taken in the weekly casting prac- tice held in Alexandra Park on Thursday evenings by members of the Oshawa Anglers' Club. Quite a number of members who had never done any casting but were anxious to learn have become quite expert through attending these practices and getting instruction from other anglers experienced in this art. Al- though Thursday was "The Glori- ous Twelfth of July" and a number of members attended the celebra- tion in Whitby, yet there was a good turnout and the different com- petitions were keenly contested. The main contest for accuracy in casting was won by Bob Ross, with Alf Maynard second, and A, Twilly third, SERVED WITH WRIT): . Ottawa, July 13--Surveys are be- ing carried out at the present time king to the esta \ . spring, of a air mail service irom Montreal to W . A vote of woney was put through the House of Commons a few days prior to ad- journment to defray the cost of such a survey and the Postoffice Depart- ment has lost no time in getting to work. Already a great deal of the initial work 'been done and a large amount of information has been col- lected. Next week a Royal Air Force t will leave Ottawa in an aero- plane to fly the actual route. He will proceed from Ottawa to North Bay, thence to Cochrane and then west to Winnipeg. He will look over the territory for the purpose of deter- mining whether hydroplanes would be more suitable than land planes, and he will also examine the ground for landing fields. These will have to be located every 300 miles apart to provide for forced landings. At the present time the Postoffice is paying $125 per mile for the air mails in Eastern Canada, but it is be- lieved that the Montreal-Winnipeg service would be daily and that a lower rate would be paid. Estimated at 75 cents per mile, the cost per trip would be $825 and it is thought that sufficient mail could be obtained to break even at this rate. Jo 4%. DISCOVER PLOTS IN SPAIN SAID TO BE REVOLUTIONARY rn Guethary, France, July 12--Rami- fications of the supposed plot against the Spanish Government, minimized in an official note issued at Madrid, are widespread, according to border police officials. It is stated that numerous arrests have been made not only in Madrid but in Barcelona, Saragossa, Ovideo and Orense. Strict guard is being kept at all frontiers, and passengers on interna- tional trains are being subjected to searching scrutiny. It is reported that in Madrid a number of workmen engaged on the reconstruction of the Theatre Royal, which is near the Royal Palace, have been detained for police inquiries. All Syndicalists, known or suspected of being such, are being closely wat- ched.
