REPRESENTATIVES IN U.S. and Stone, Inc, New York and Chicago. a TUESDAY, AUGUST 7, 1928 TOURIST PROFITEERS Powers QE, Ri Ss Purblind seekers after easy money are en- dangering Ontario's valuable tourist traffic, Ignorance can go no further than for Ontario retailers of anything from board and lodging to hot dogs and diamonds to imagine that every "Yankee" who crosses the Border in summer is a millionaire, Such retailers know, of course, that only a few are actually wealthy, but despite that fact numbers of them go ahead with the good old game of gouge and, as a result, American tourists head south, as soon as they can get funds from home by wire, with an ingrained bit- terness against having been taken in, as it were, in the house of their best friends. Laws cannot remedy this situation, Noth. ing can but active public opinion and educa- ] tion, It isn't that the situation complained about is prevalent, The facts are that most American tourists are delighted with Cana- 'dian hospitality, surprised and pleased at Canadian courtesy and moderate prices, and they return home earnest boosters for Can- ada as a vacation playground. What there is to complain about is merely a rash here and there, But the value, in cold dollars and cents, of the tourist traffic is too great to let this rash become an epidemic, Some hotels, for instance, are running a tourist standard of prices. That is, for what the commercial traveller, or someone with nerve enough to call himself a commercial traveller, is charged for one dollar, the tour- ist is charged anywhere from 25 per cent to a third more, This is nothing but commercial suicide, It is the sort of thing that made Ameri- cans, in the mass, sick of Europe and, as an outgrowth, generally sick of Europeans. Itching palms, veiled insults, and rotten service can't ever make up for historic ruins or beautiful scenery, ; And it should be remembered that in the ; United Btates, and in most of them, is some HOW BIG IS A FOREST? = The answer to the question "How big is a forest?" may be answered in various ways. On the basis of lumber feet it can be roughly stated that, taking spruce for an example, there are 10,000 board feet to each acre of average Canadian timber, Editors don't know everything, There are many opinions to effect that they know next to nothing and that little wrong. But, recently,, a member of The Oshawa Daily Times Staff wanted to find out what ten million feet of lumber, for instance, meant in tetms of standing timber. No reference book at hand gave that infor- mation, So, on suggestion, Mr. W, M. Gil bert of the Oshawa Lumber Company Ltd., was called by telephone, Mr. Gilbert had never seen the enquirer, His only introduc- tion, by telephone, was mention of his con- nection with "The Times." Yet Mr. Gilbert took an hour of his spare time to look up that information. Incidentally, Mr, Gilbert is still looking. He was not satisfied with the estimate which appears in the first paragraph, He wants more exact information and he is going to get it. : That's co-operation, of the well-known 'Made in Oshawa" brand, For, in passing, the information sought was wanted for this journal's coming "Greater Oshawa" edition. But before it or the greatness to which it will be dedicated appears, it is well to note that friendly helpfulness of this sort, by no means unique, indicates qualities of great- ness in this city of more value than bigger factories, skyscrapers, population and wealth, That is to say, Oshawa is a city of great friendliness, and it was made so by people whom it is "great" to call friends. Bit of Verse THE STAMP OF FATHER i Your name is painted on the sign That hangs above your door, Your brand is stamped upon the line Of goods within your store. I know you keep the signboard bright Through every summer rain, And see that all your goods are right, And free from dust and stain. But you've a son, a little lad, That people often say Is just the picture of his dad, In looks, and every way. I hope no evil habits mar The day, when day is done, Because whatever fathers are Is stamped upon the son," , If sons resemble us in face, Perhaps in walk and speech, Upon their souls we stamp our grace, Our character we teach, The words we use, the books we read, The things we think are joy.

They will also receive through employment exchanges an gdvance of the £10 (about $50) in the form of a warrant on the ship- ping companies to cover the balance of the cost of a through ticket to Winnipeg. Two money orders will also be issued to them on the boat to provide for their food on the train to Winnipeg and support them in the event of their not finding work at once, These money orders are also intended to pay their transpor- tatoin from Winnipeg to their place of employment. A free railway warrant is given to every man from his home fo the medical examination centre, and if finally accepted from the man's home to the boat. It is stated that every effort will be made to place as many of the har- vesters as possible on farms and in the lumber camps for the Winter. Official Statement The official statement of the plan says, "Dominion and Provincial Goy- er) ts have promised to co-oper- ate in this Work with the railway companies and the fullest co-opera- tion of all interested parties in Can- ada may be relied upon. Arrange- ments have been made with the rail- way companies to bring back any men who may prove to be misfits, though these should be few in num- ber, all others should get harvesting work without difficulty. All who get work are expected to save money es- pecially if they mean to come back to this country after the harvesting season." Unemployment exchanges in Lan- cashire were busy yesterday with the throngs of miners ing pas- seeking sage. Several hundred were sent to Liverpool for Dominion medical amination. In some places the local ex- government help to apply to the employment ex- eGuide be sasbabos, Ws their eloquence apparently had little effect, The Ministry of Labor recently in- vited the Northumberland Miners' Association to test the Canadian har- vesting conditions by nominating two of their members to go at the ex- pense of the Canadian Government and work as wage earners. The offer has been accepted. The offices of the shipping agencies and employment exchanges will be open on Monday, although jt is a bank holiday, to facilitate the enrol- ment of miners who wish to take ad- vantage of this offer of several weeks' employment, MURDER AT DETROIT WITNESSED BY SCORE Detroit, Aug. 6--A man, infuriated because he was denied reinstatement to a job from which he was dismissed shot his former employer to death this afternoon in a barber shop at 19 East Jefferson avenue and endan- gered the lives of five barbers and several customers.

We regret that once in a while a feeling of discatisfaction creeps in when an event is run off with the result being food for controversy betweon nations, That is neither hers nor there. We at home are not fully cognizant of the facts of the case, hut we would, speaking broadly, like to see these international events provide the fine spirit for which they are held, True, we want as many honors in Canada that we may obtain through our men and women Olympias, but we want these honors in a way that we know they will attain two ends, aid for Canada, and strive for peace internationally, .

Iy, the others pile up behind him. So we look on the mod- ern age of car driving. Of course there are exceptions. There are exceptions to every rule, But the poor little fel. low that does obey the law, who does stick to 85 miles per hour, who does keep to his own side of the road, and who never cuts in and out is eventually a victim of the oth- er fellow, It is a peculiar state of practical insanity" when the love, the demand for speed so endangers the lives of trme 'law abiders," that reason and fairness are utter.
