MONDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1928 pad OS ¥ VICTORY In bringing home the 0.A.L, championship on Saturday, Oshawa's senior lacrosse team has not only won for itself a place in the sun in Canadian sporting circles, but has also brought great honor and distinction to the City of Oshawa, The Oshawa team, and every individual member of it, is deserving of the highest praise for the successful outcome of their combined efforts during the season that closed with such a glorious victory on Sat. urday. To play two games against such vet eran lacrosse exponents as Brampton, and to come through with the big end of a com- bined score of 7-4, is no small accomplish. ment, and today the praises of Oshawa's lacrosse champions are on every tongue, Saturday's victory should do much to re. establish the splendid game of lacrosse as Canada's national game, The season's la- crosse activities have been well conducted in every way. The games have been fairly played and Oshawa's victory has been fairly won, Perhaps next year other teams will be entered in the intermediate and junior series as well as senior, and Oshawa will make even a greater name for itself in lacrosse circles, FIRE PREVENTION Nobody could have foretold that Chicago would be destroyed by a fire caused by the overturning of a lantern by a cow, But that disaster might have been averted had the owner of the cow been told the dangers of setting lanterns in straw. The purpose of Fire Prevention Week, to be observed from October 7 to 15, is to teach people not to set a lantern in straw, A little properly educated common sense can elimin- ate much of the carelessness which is the cause of most fires. Popular favor is not enjoyed just now hy days and weeks set aside for special absery- ance, but it is worth while to call attention to the enormous waste and devastation caus- ed by fire. When fire losses are reduced ev- erybody gains in one way or another. Fires endanger the lives and property of all, and impose another penalty in the form of high- er insurance rates, Fire Prevention Week is a good time to clean out the summer's accumulation of rub- bish, Make it a fall clean-up week, Let it serve as a reminder to have chimneys and electric wiring inspected for defects. There is a Fire Prevention Week injunc- tion for every member of the family, Don't play with fire. Don't pour oil upon the fire, Be careful with burning matches and cigar- ette stubs. MAN LEADS A DULL LIFE With knitted silk, crepe marocain, silver velvet cloth and flowered organdie hinted as the proper apparel for women, and Paris giv- ing the hints, it seems that mere man is destined to lead a dull life. More so, to, when the hint goes further and suggests that the female will be attired in colors of red, burnt orange, rhinestone gray and gold. The male of the species should be, by a turn down collar with a cutaway, or tan shoes with a frock coat, we shrink from equally, But we have the feeling that our terror is insincere and that even, if found dead clad in these solecisms, they would not be noticed, But, with a woman the habiliment is all-- the sparkle on the wave, the colors of the sunset, the splendor of the sky, She can sit in a sewing room and be an empress, look in a mirror and see beyond the farthest horizon of the real, Crepe marocain !--it is a chiming bell, Burnt orange !--it flames like the hearth ~--fires of heaven, EDITORIAL NOTES Being conceited is usually about all a con- ceited person has to be conceited about, If "life is a ladder with many rungs miss. ing," perhaps this explains why one has to Some men would rather step on other people's toes than stand on their own merits, Mars has two moons, but, so far, we have managed to get along here very nicely with one, The man who feels that he must make a choice of evils usually finds a large assort~ ment, When you see two men in the front seat and two women in the back they are mar- ried, A woman's ideas of getting along with her husband would work if he were not so contrary, It probably always has been true that one generation thought the next one was going to the bad, "A good musician is one who can hear new music and recognize the old scores it was stolen from, Few men find themselves stumped when it comes to making a choice between princi» ple and interest, Some families go right on spending money for beefsteak and flour when they haven't a fur coat on the premises, Designers of the motor bus seem to have thought of everything except that other ve- hicles might wish to pass on the same street, The word "complacent," ugly word, prob- ably fits the man who thinks any neighbour- hood a good neighbourhood after he moves in.

A sapling and a flower seed, A penny spent--or two-- And barren soil will rift and let A blinding beauty through. Oh, any house where water is May be s0 clean and sweet That poverty will hurry by Ashamed to stalk that street. ~--Grace Noll Crowell, in the Windsor Magazine, tr A '| The late J aw SALA LS 0 0 000000 0000s sss a dome man would rather hug that embrace oppor- ER "How iss 2" - 2d, are you, Miss? ane how many months?"

Now Socrates was condemned by the upper class in Athens for lecturin' upon the soap-boxes and generally givin' away to the rogues and ur- chins of the streets a generous amount of teachin', But Socrates didn't care a whit for these Patri- cians and went on and preached all the more, givin' of his knowledge and his learnin' to all the Plehians who would come to the market and hear him. But in his heart it was thought he was a little afraid, but he didn't show it in the least and went on lec- turin' and preaching the thoughts which was in his mind. Finally there came a day in history, the, date has slipped my mind) when the Patricians were not going to put up with this sort of thing any longer. | It got so bad, finally that this here man Socrates joined up some of their sons into his classes, and they resol- ved to put a stop to it. So they is- sued a wararnt by the Chief of Police and the lecturer was stopped right in the middle of a speech and taken to prison where he awaited trial for a: considerable time, At last the trial came round but Socrates wasn't in- terested much. He was tried for treason or something just as bad and finally condemned to death. He had to drink a gp of hemlock. poison by hisself. Well, he didn't even seem to mind this, so they gave him the cup of poison and he didn't hear the pleadings of his friends who coaxed and coaxed him to dash the poison in the faces of his tormenters. He drank the poison and died a martyr to the cause of world-learning. If he badn't have died we probably would still be hanging around treeses and donging each other on the head for no good reason at all.

FT LE ey 2 TTY SASL AA LAs a aa From the office of the Oshawa Daily Times comes a special edi- tion remarkable even for that em- terprising city and its capable and aggressive mewspaper. Extending to eight sectioms, totalling 112 pages, it is both an admirable re- view of the Oshawa of today and an anticipation of the Greater Osh- awa of the future. For the opti: mistic spirit that pervades the whole issue good spirit can be and is offered and this Greater Oshawa number. undoubtedly achieves iis main purposes, that of giving the world a pen picture of what is hap- ing in every phase of comstrue- tional activity--Iletting people know that, while Oshawa values its in- ustrial status, it also prides itself offering the prospective home- builder attractions that are umsur- passed by any other city on the con- tinent, No one will be churlish enough to challenge the enthusiasm display- ed by the Times for the city where it lives and moves and has its be- ing. Nor does it matter that many other cities, like Oshawa, in the making are at any time prepared to make similar claims and show sim- ilar confidence. Canada, and Ontar- fo, are big enough to provide ample justification for faith and optim- fsm. The immediate point is that this Greater Oshawa edition of the Times accomplishes what it was in- tended ta do and reflects the high- est credit on all concerned in its compilation and production. It en- ables a better idea to be gained of the fermént that accompanies mna- tional expansion and the corres- ponding growth in smaller com- munities.--St. Thomas Times-Jour- nal, OSHAWA'S EXAMPLE A special edition of The Oshawa Daily Times reflects the progress of that city which, as yet contains a population of less than 25,000 but which has an unusual record. The edition in question comprises 112 pages, which is remarkable in itself because. of the eirculation of the paper. In Oshawa, we are told, 4,680 people own their own homes, In manufactured products the value of the output in 1927 was $80,000,000. This is an Rdeutrial record exceeded by only 80 cities in Ontario, Oshawa has rf indus. trial palroll of $10,000,000 annu- ally, and an indication of the rapid fashion in which it 1s growing fis found in building statistics which last year reached a total value of $5,265,000. In building Oshawa stands sixth among Canadian cities Oshawa is a veity of payrolls. It is an of how industrial devel- opment the basic index of civic growth.--Victoria B. C. Colonist. OSHAWA TIMES SPECIAL EDITION SHOWS CITY REMAREKA Industrial Oshawa has recently presented a survey of its comstruec- tional progress in.the form of a Greater Oshawa Edition of the Osh- awa Daily Times, Its claim to be the most rapidly growing industrial cemtre in east- ern Canada appears to be justified by the facts, res and illustra- tions in the present edition. While by no means one of the la cen- tres in eastern Canad awa's population approximates the 25,- 000 wark--the city's manufactur- ing products rank third in the pro- vince of Ontario. Oshawa enjoys among other out- standing qualities in its industrial life, the distinction of having, in the sheet metal products plant of Pedlar People Limited, the largest factory of its kind in the British Empire. To Canadian East and West, Osh- awa's name is associated with the automotive industry. The briefesq glance at the Greater Oshawa edi- tion of The Times indicates its im. portant place as a branch plant Sebtre for this and allied indus- tries, The edition runs to 112 pages and presents a splendid index of Oshawa's progress. -- Vancouver Province, BLOWING ITS OWN HORN The Oshawa Daily Times is as- suredly proud of the community it serves, In a Greater Oshawa Rdi- tion, running into over one hund- ved pages, it tells the world of the growth, industrial progress and achievements of the bahy city of Ontario. It is a story which is well trid and is worth studying, for it shows industrial growth and expan. sion almost without a parallel in Ontario's history. With tha automo- bile industry as the chief factor in its growth, Oshawa haa shown great expansion, and its newspaper is marching ahead, just a little in front of the development of the city. During the few years it has heen a city. Oshawa has shown re- markable gains In population, in- dustrial output, industrial payrolls and in building construction. This it cwes much to the automoufle in- dustry which has its headquarters there, and The Daily Times is ta be commended on the forceful way in which it has, in this special num- ber, placed its records hefore the public.--Oakville Record. HAMILTON PEOPLE BUYING GUNS TO HUNT BURGLAR Alarms Installed in Private Homes and Reward Of. fered for Capture Hamilton, Oct. 8.--Hamilton ecit- zens are arming themselves against the mystery hurglar who for more than a month has defied the police. In announcing a re- ward of $500 for the man's capture Mayor Burton on Saturday issued a special appeal to war veterans to assist in rounding up the vandal. The public 1s seriously alarmed and scores of citizens are too mner- vous to enjoy a night's rest, the Mayor stated. It is for this rea- son, he admitted that the reward is being posted. Many housekeepers are buying guns, So many burglar alarms are being installed in private homes that electricians are working day and night to fill the orders. Man Hunt Reports, earlier denied, that one of *ho first victims of the mystery had been chloriformed Sor apartment was ransack- e confirmed today.
