H, Price, Ontario's attorney gen- eral, has forbidden the holding of further jazz marathons in Ontario. He is to be commended for this action which reflects any public opinion that is worthy of serious consideration, The jazz marathon is a Bowery bacchan- alia which Ontario can get along without very nicely, It expresses neither sportsman- ship nor beauty. It can, at the same time, be admitted that there are worse things than jazz marathons. But to have one of the many disgusting modern products of sensu- ality forbidden is so much gain. MASONIC TEMPLE With' the foundations nearly completed, Oshawa citizens in general a well as mem- bers of the Masonic Order iu particular, are " looking forward to the staging here of one of the most impressive of Fraternal cere- monies, which is the laying of a notable building's corner-stone under Masonic aus- pices, Those who have been fortunate enough to see a Masonic corner-stone laying know that the Grand Master of the Order usually wields the gold or silver trowel, and in the case of Oshawa's new Masonic Temple the officiating grand master would be, very prob- ably, the Hon, John 8, Henry, M.L.,A,, who is now in second year's tenure of the highest office in gift of Ontario Masons, With him would likely be associated all or the majority of the Grand Lodge executive, together with numbers of its membership which include all who are or have been rul- ing masters of a Masonic Lodge, Masons do not go in for elaborate uni- forms, but what they do wear on the rare occasions outside of Masonic funerals when * they don regalia for a public ceremonial is distinctive, and, in the case of grand lodge | officers, regally colorful, » The public will awit with interest what- ever announcement the directors of the new Oshawa Masonic Temple may make regard- fing the expected ceremonial, The new building promises to be a credit to the city at large as well as to the fraternal order now engaged in erecting it. On an occasion such as this article refers to, that public would have the opportunity of expressing, by its reverent presence, its appreciation both of : Masonic achievement and Masonic character. RECOGNITION OF RUSSIA Like some boisterously drunken fellow at '» Seminary Picnic, this matter of recogniz- ing or not recognizing Russia is a bit pain- ful. Russia cannot be ignored, and efforts in that direction sometimes seem more em- barrassing to the would-be ignorer than to the object of such diplomatic attention, On the basis of Liberal theory, Rt. Hon. Ramsay McDonald has some right to sup- port his statement that friendly relations with the Union Soviet Republics should be restored by this Empire. And, of course, time will vindicate his position. Russia will rejoin the concert of Western Civilization-- "but not until some of its sourest notes have been softened, and not before its leaders abandon the notion that a really worth-while consists in cutting holes in a s drums and eating lemons in front of the cornet soloists. Russia is passing through a cataclysmic change. It had to come, in one way or an- other; and as non-Bolshevik governments "have long since learned that the old order A THE OSHAWA DAILY ihc... cannot be restored by force of arms, the ultra-Liberals might have the grace to admit that a wholesale welcoming of the new order ~ would have no other effect than to feed Rus. _gian egotism, confirm it in despising nations not so zealous for their particular brand of Utopia, and turn insufferable conditions into unbearable ones. The hope of Russia is from within, Its recent activities in the rescue of the Nobile party's survivors is one of the most encour- . aging signs of a return to civilized normalcy that has come out of Russia for a decade. As a matter of fact, almost the only one. Like individuals everywhere, the Russians will have to learn to play the game. When it does and can, there's a place on the team for them. But not as the Umpire, AN UNORGANIZED INDUSTRY For the vast amount of money spent each year in Ontario alone for used motor cars, the hit-or-miss, "buyer-beware" character of the used car trade is amazingly lacking in elementary efficiency. But this very condition, already being remedied by the notable inspiration of Gen- eral Motors of Canada Ltd. in urging the used car market's value and instituting amongst its dealers the use of guarantees and other safeguards for the buyer, perhaps offers a tremendous field for automotive in- dustrial development. Now that motor cars are being and have been for some years constructed in accord- ance with the basic principles of beautiful design, people are not going to feel any in- feriority complex in owning and driving them. There are not a few people who frank- ly prefer some of the styles of fairly recent years, All this may, soon, call for automobile re- building and refinishing factories, Real rebuilding, within reasonable limits, and certainly as much care in refinishing as high grade paints, varnishes and nickel can af- ford, The output of such factories could be covered by service guarantees only second to that covering new cars. The public, know- ing what it was getting for its money, would be prepared to pay higher prices. Best of all, the problem of wobbling junk piles on the highways would be much fur- ther on the way to a solution. The objection that the sale of new cars might be hurt by such an industry could be countered by sales- manship as a fact, and by stating that the potential market for automobiles is still somewhat narrowly restricted. The people who are able to buy new cars now would continue to buy them, The economical who would buy a good used car in preference to a new one would be replaced by the many who, learning mastery of motoring in a good used car, would soon want to own the latest and the best. Finally, the real hindrance to the sale of more new cars is the cluttering up of On- tario highways with life-menacing junk, The railways already reflect popular fear of consequence from driving along the more travelled highways.

The victims were mostly Am- erican cottagers. Perhaps this will refute the fact that Americans don't fall for Canada. . - LJ We suppose that the armed men who were arrested as being d in the iracy to loot 20 banks will now be boy- cotted for two reasons. The first of these would necessarily be the fact that the other gangsters whom the police have not appre- hended we" ant to keep as far out of harm's way as possible, and the other that the thugs ought to be ashamed that they didn't accomplish their little schemes. The date of the signing of the anti-war treaty, August 27, will no doubt be the occasion for much re- morse on the part of the Reds who will be obliged to refrain from their little outbursts of temper, at least with other nations signing the pact.

Yet he was Great Bri- Pr ES, oe tain's richest citizen, supposedly worth $125,000,000. Imagine keeping an American Midas of that magnitude under such a mantle of secrecy. Even though he might have been as shy and retiring as this acquisi- tive Scot, the American could not have escaped the searchlight. His every doing would have made first page news. Different peoples, different standards. At all events, Sir Da- vid has on, with nobody apparently much the gainer for his having lived. One result of our greater publicity is that our rich do much for the public good. DETROIT'S DIRTY RIVER ( etroit Saturday Night) It is now many years since the federal government warned the au- thorities of this city that the De- troit River was polluted beyond the safety point. The common council which has many times aud oft been reminded of this warning, has blithely ignored it and neglect- ed to do anything about our séw- age disposal system which would better this condition. Now comes a logical develop- ment fronr this neglect. The city's bathing places, where hundreds of thousands of people ought to be refreshing themselves during suca extreme weather as we have been having, are pronounced unsafe by Health Commissioner Henry r. Vaughan, He says the Belle Isle beach is the least unsafe of all, but even that is not what it should be. Iv.
