REPRESENTATIVES IN U.S. Powers and Stone, Inc.,, New York and Chicago. ---- SATURDAY, AUGUST 18, 1928 '§ A TONIC FOR CIVIC ENDEAVOR "The enlightened character of Oshawa's de- velopment is one of its outstanding features. That this is appreciated by the general pub- lic is evidenced by the many comments both written and verbal which have been passed upon the Greater Oshawa Edition of The Times presented a week ago. Some of the letters received are published elsewhere in this issue. A Montreal man well-known in publicity circles is impressed by the obvious develop- ment of our residential sections and the pro- vision of public buildings in keeping with our industrial activities, "The co-ordination of such development may be regarded as the stepping-stone to industrial supremacy," he remarks, This point is well taken and is deserving of more than passing mention, It is gratifying to find that the Greater Oshawa Edition of The Times achieved its main purpose of giving the world a pen pic- ture of what is happening here in every phase of constructional activity--letting people know that while Oshawa values its industrial status it also prides itself in of- fering the prospective home-builder attrac- tions that are unsurpassed by any other city on the continent. Oshawa is many things besides a "motor city." It is a city of charming homes; a city of educational, social and religious ad- vantages; a city of public-minded citizens, of community spirit; a city which renders unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's and unto God the things that are God's. Such remarks may seem trite, but they carry a point, People are apt to regard their advantages lightly; to take things for grant- ed, Familiarity breeds contempt. The com- ment of the onlooker has a well-defined val- ue. The man on the outside looking in gets a far more intelligent idea of what is taking place inside than the man who is actually on the job, It was the same in the war. An intelligent perusal of our Greater Osh- awa Edition is reassuring in the evidence it affords of public interest in municipal ser- vices, schools, hospitals, and other public buildings. Our industrial development is not being prosecuted at the expense of the common weal, The homes of the city, great and small, are a credit to our people. On every side ample provision is being made for our health and well-being, for the education of our youth, for the care of our sick, for our moral and religious welfare, for our en- tertainment, for our athletic pursuits, Pos- terity will not be able to say that we have failed it. As the curtain is lifted we see further into the future, and the vision heartensgis and inspires us. Our hearts and minds are set upon constructive purposes, The provision of ad te facilities for tech- nical training and tH® preparatory measures looking to the erection of a city hall are ex- amples. Greater advantages will come to us, They are in a state of incubation. They are on their way. The comments that have been passed up- on our Greater Oshawa Edition are an effect- ive answer as to whether such enterprises justify the effort and expenditure they en- jail. They do: they add to the sum of con- ptructive thought; they serve to reinforce the purpose of our leaders and cause others to think constructively who might never think at all. Special enterprise is a tonic. It provides us with an objective, sets a mark of high attainment--to reach which we have to exert ourselves. It is the same in every field of human endeavor. The development of Greater Oshawa is not a subject to be set aside as the topic of a special issue of a newspaper. Such an en- terprise serves only to awaken us to a fuller sense of our opportunities and responsibili- ties. The working out of our destiny is something that is with us from day to day. The knowledge that our development is be- ing rounded out to the advantage of all sections of the community is a matter not only of encouragement but of inspiration. WHITBY"S INTEREST IN TECHNICAL SCHOOL PROJECT That Whitby and Oshawa unite in the technical school project is the suggestion of a correspondent whose letter is published in this issue. Proponents of the scheme for re-establish- ing Camp Borden at Whitby remind us that the technical school which the people of Oshawa are discussing is one of the requi- sites stipulated by the Government. It is believed that the federal authorities could be induced to take up the burden of the addi- tional expenditure required for the building and equipment of the technical school--and more if required. The subject is an interesting one and the suggestion enlarges the angle of vision. An interesting article in support of the techni- cal school project was published in yester- day's edition. Such immediate response to the publicity given this prospective enter- prise is indicative of the important place it occupies in public estimation. Joy is not in things, it is in us.--~Wagner. Originality is simply a pair of fresh eyes. --T. W. Higginson It is much easier to be critical than to be correct.--Disraeli. Self-confidence is the first requisite to great undertakings.--Samuel Johnson, The less people speak of their greatness the more we think of it.--Bacon. Behaviour is the theory of manners practi- cally applied.--Mme, Necker. Habit is a cable; we weave a thread of it every day, and at last we cannot break it. --Horace Mann, To write well is to. think well, to feel gvell, and to render well; it is to possess at once intellect, soul, and taste.--Buffon, The darkest hour in any man's life is when he sits down to plan how to get money with- out earning it.--Horace Greeley. [4 The art of conversation is to be prompt without being stubborn, to refute without argument, and to clothe great matters in a motley garb,--Disraeli, A man is a great thing upon the earth and through eternity; but every jot of the greatness of man is unfolded out of woman, --Walt Whitman. Life would be a perpetual flea hunt if a man were obliged to run down all the in- nuendoes, inveracities, insinuations and mis- representations, which are uttered against him,--Henry Ward Beecher. The sublime and ridiculous are often so nearly related that it is difficult to class them separately. One step above the sublime makes the ridiculous, and one step above the ridiculous makes the sublime again, Py. Lit ~--Thomas Paine Gems of Verse. 0 Love that wilt not let me go, I rest my weary soul in Thee; I give Thee back the life I owe, That in Thine ocean depths its flow May richer, fuller be. ' O Light that followest all my way, I yield my flickering torch to Thee. My heart restores its borrowed ray That in Thy sunshine-blaze the day May brighter, fuller be. a od ' O Joy that seekest me through pain, I cannot close my heart to Thee: I trace the rainbow through the rain And feel the promise is not vain That morn shall tearless be. he O Cross that liftest up my head I dare not ask to fly from Thee: I lay in dust life's glory dead And from the ground there blossoms red Life that shall endless be, PrN ] | At a Glance Being short of new material to- day it is certainly going to be a difficult thing to jot down in words the thoughts which are not present. After coming into the of- fice late from a council meeting at which a great deal of time was spent in a war of words by two old enemies, one doesn't feel that he can do justice to the feeling of the occasion by aply describing the battle scene as it was fought, . * LJ It just seems that a battle scene of this sort is fought for the benefit of the two con- testants, because others seem disinterested, wholly so. The fact of the matter is that elo- quent speeches pro and con de- cide nothing, gemerally. The most peculiar part of the prob- lem was that the matter in question went right through en masse, * Council meetings were supposed to come to a close earlier. So was the rule set down at a recent meet- ing of the town fathers. But there are exceptions to every rule, and of course, when a hot night with the thermometer wavering around 85, 86 or 87, a stuffy hall, and an agenda full of material to be given attention, there's ample opportun- ity for the council to have a real night of it, and perhaps they didn't, breaking up about 11.30 o'clock. Just about 15 minutes more and a physician would have been given some splendid business, LJ . . The worst danger of the hot weather is that the effect might mar the surfaces of the faces of our women. You can imagine what they'd be like after seeing some of the little "niggers" in the south who have become black just be- cause they have been exposed to the sun for a number of genera tions, al. * + @ We don't wish to scare any- one, but of course, the publica- tion of this statement together with advice to bring back the old parasol, should let The Times out as far as being re- sponsible for any {ll effects suffered, is concerned. . . . Why, of Course Dear old lady: You'll pardon me, young man, but you look tired. Young man: Yes, .madam, I'm studying for a doctor. Dear old lady: It's a shame. You ought to let the doctor study for himself, ss Radio pictures have come to the stage of completion and perfection, we are told. We even are to have them in our own rooms. What a god-send, Now Scottie will be able to take his wife and kids to the movies, . LJ v The only trouble of going on a picnic nowadays is that it is the hardest thing in the world to get where there's an excluded spot where the dust from the roads isn't always blowing over the lunch or where there's silence from the blo¥ing of automobile horns, . LJ Ld LIFE'S BARRIERS In this world wherein we dwell Live and love and buy and sell, Dream and hope and read and write, Work by day and sleep by night, There are certain barriers, which None can pass though poor or rich. We are brothers all on earth, Brothers of a common birth, Fellows of a common breath, Equals in the sight of Death, When it comes his hour to die, None a longer life can buy, Great men hunger, great men tire, Sleep the richest men require, Load the tables down, hut still Each can only eat his fill, None supremacy can gain Over that which causes pain, Gather treasure and you find You must leave it all behind Gain the best which life can give To enjoy it you must live, Life has barriers strong and stout, Nothing can be smuggled out, . Ld LJ 'Till we meet. . * LJ By Renrut, AIR SHIP CLEARS Boston, Mass., Aug. 17--For the first time in the history of the Customs Office here, clearance pa- pers were issued to an aeroplane pilot today. The pilot was August Pabst, who wanted to fly his plane to St. John, N.B,, with three pas- sengers, Papers similar to those issued for ships were given Pabst and he took off on the flight, which, he estimated, would take three hours, FATAL FRENCH DUEL r Berlin, Aug. 17--A fatal duel be- tween two officers of the army of occupation has occurred at Long- eishm, near Badkreusenach, ac- cording to reports in several Ber- lin papers. A French Captain and surgeon got into a quarurel for un- known reasons and decided to set- tle the dispute with swords, accord- ing to ancient custom. It is said the doctor was killed in the fight, but official confirmation is still lacking. LINEMAN "ELECTROCUTED ------ Port Arthur, Aug. 17.--Andrew Stewart, Fort William, married, re- pairman, employed by the Hydro- Electric Commission, was electro- cuted today at the Dare Point sub- station, just outside of the city, when he came in contact with 22, 000 volts. He is survived by nis wife and several children. 3 What Others Say HAD NO TICKET (Stratford Beacon Herald) Young man in St. Thomas fis bright and active. His car was hit by a Wabash en- gine at a crossing. The driver crawled out of the window as his car was being shoved along the track by a slow-moving engine. Next move was to get a seat on the cow-catcher of the engine, and there he sat safely until the engine stopped. Modern railroad eficiency will probably very rapidly compute how much the young man will owe the company for his ride. » MORE RAILWAYS (Edmonton Journal) (Report says that there is to be a great deal more railway con- struction in Canada during the next two years). One of the signifi- cant features of the case is that not so long ago it was being said that railway construction in Can- ada had been overdone. The mile- age built up to that time. was ae- elared to be In excess of the coun- try's requirements for many years. and there were those who went so far as to say that never again would Canada see such enormous programs as had been. If now the railways are d®iberately under- taking new work estimated to cost nearly a quarter of a billion dol- lars, it is pretty clear evidence that the country has caught up to the existing railway accommoaa- tions and wants more, It has, moreover, done so in an astonish- ingly short time. THIS IS SOUND ADVICE (St. Catharines Standard) The Ottawa police department is- sues a little folder to motorists, which if read and inwardly digest- ed, should do a lot to make the streets safer for democracy every- where. In this city, with streets congested, drivers have been wit- nessed going anywhere from 25 to 35 miles per hour, just because they thought they saw a good opening in the trafic. These drivers have probably never thought of what Ottawa submits as the test of careful driving, in the follow- ing caution: "You may be able to stop your car within a distance of 44 feet, but remember you have only one second in which to do it it you are travelling at 30 miles per hour. "If an object suddenly crosses your path 50 feet ahead from where you are sitting at the wheel and you are travelling 20 miles per hour you have only one secor in which to act to avoid an accident, and only half a second if the object is only 25 feet away. "Can you with a fair degree of accuracy guess 50 feet on a road- way? If not, you will find a little experimenting both interesting and helpful. "It you cease thinking in terms of miles and pours, and think in terms of feet and seconds, you are bound to be a careful driver." There is a lot in the above. The greater the speed, takes, of course, to come to a stop. A reader of this paper recently, suggested that the police depart- ment should have hot one hut 3 or 4 motorcycles to efficiently han; dle the local trafic situation and there is much force in the sug- gestion. Speed regulations are be- ing broken every day in all parts of the city and it is a matter of good fortune combined with su- pervised playgrounds, that there have not heen fatalities to children and many serious accidents.
