REPRESENTATIVES IN U.4, Powers and Stone, Inc, New York and Chicago, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1928 "THE OSHAWA OF THE WEST" A boost for this city is contained in a re- cent issue of the Regina Post, which declares in glowing headlines that "Regina is to be. come the Oshawa of the West." The paper continues with a quotation from the Monetary Times outlining the es. tablishment by General Motors of Canada of a branch assembly plant in that city, and the establishment of related industries there, including a branch plant of the W, E, Phil. lips Company being erected at a cost of $45,000, The total building program of Re- gina for this year, including factory, resi- dential and all other buildings, is about $6,000,000, . According to the expressed policy of Gen eral Motors as outlined by their officials here, Oshawa need have no apprehension that Re- gina is going to detract from this city's right to the designation "The Motor City," The Regina plant is an assembly plant that will assemble automobiles from stampings and body parts made here, and other parts made chiefly in several other Ontario cities, but this plant will, in reality, mean greater pro- duction for the Oshawa plants engaged in the preliminary manufacturing processes such as the making of parts of various kinds, Only Pontiac. and Chevrolet automo. biles will be made in Regina with the pres- ent capacity of that factory, The foregoing is not said to detract from Regina's glory or to discount its industrial progress, There is every reason to hope and expect that both Regina and Oshawa will be benefited by the expansion policy of General Motors of Canada Limited, and that the two cities--Regina in the West and Oshawa in the East--will long continue to be happily associated as important centres for the pro- duction of automobiles in Canadr *° THE RED CROSS ' Oshawa's Red Cross, which functioned so well during the stress of the Great War, has @ peace time record none the less note- worthy, Without much flaunting of banners, with- out advertising its many virtues, the local Red Cross has been carrying on, in the in- terest of under-nourished and under-privi- leged children and has also maintained a close and very helpful co-operation with the health department of the eity. The Red Cross cottage at Lakeview Park has been a busy place during the summer, and there many of the young boys and girls have found the way to health and strength, through the facilities furnished by the local institution, The claim of "First in War," has been superceded by the slogan of "First in Peace," and today the name "Red Cross" stands for efficiency, promptness and thoroughness, When some great upheaval of nature takes place, entailing great loss of life--some con- flagration, hurricane, or whatever it may be ~--involving the safety of our friends or re- latives, we never fail to read that the Red Cross has taken complete charge of the re- lief work and the situation is well under con- trol. We are satisfied because we know the job is in good hands. Like the soft-footed efficient nurse who symbolizes it, so quietly does it go about its work thet, despite its size and its exent, we are scarcely aware of its existence until some sudden blow takes us unawares, or we read of some wonderful work carried on in our / i flife 5 fh; Hf : 5 £: if I3 g 5 5 iil yet so efficienctly, The Red Cross is the great arm of prac cal human sympathy which stretches from coast to coast, Its watchword is "Ready, Aye, Ready."

A life insurance statistican fixes 66 as the age at which persons begin to become old, However, that is his opinion merely, Many persons more than 65 would mot concede themselves as old, They would set the date considerably ahead, as younger persons would lower it, Sometimes persons of 50, or even less, ave referred to as "aged The designation depends on the personal view of the person expressing it, To the child the elder brother may appear old, Old is a re. lative term and may have many different applications, Far less is conceded to advancing years than was true a few score years ago, The time was when men by their facial adorn. ment and manner of attire proclaimed age far more definitely than at present, Silver. ed beard gave a venerable air to one who would now regard one's self as hardly out of late youth, Did men wear beards now they would have a like effect, but cleanly shaven 'faces may belie the years, As for women, not so long ago they put on caps at an early age and by the act adver- tised that their chief service in life had been given and they were inviting old age to hurry along, Now grandmothers bob their hair and often act as girlishly as their grand. daughters, The years may be combatted in a measure by not yielding to them in a man- ner to accent their effect, Once it was the practice to advertise one's age, Now age is to a considerable extent disregarded, When one begins to give much thought to it, it will the more make its effect felt, However, the person of 65 ordinarily will not care for what were the pleasures of 26, Age is mani» fest in our changing desires to a greater ex- tent than in personal appearance, 2 EDITORIAL NOTES | Time cures all things, even youth, About the time a popular song gets popu- lar it loses its popularity, The proper study of man is the laws he feels under obligation to obey, One operation that tends to eliminate criminal traits is performed with a paddle, Civilization has contrived to refine every- thing about petroleum except its methods, Any place is 8 good winter resort if you can make yourself think the cold there doesn't hurt as it does in other places, Bit of Verse OUR DESERTS This is the height of our deserts; | | A little pity for life's hurts; A little rain, 8 little sun, A little sleep when work is done, A little righteous punishment, Less for our deeds than their intent; A little pardon now and then, Because we are but struggling men, A little light to show the way, - A little guidance where we stray; A little loye before we pass To rest beneath the kirkyard grass.

It is all nonsense for an officer whose resig- pation was asked and accepted, and glohgubiing Lobel LUBY come e all kinds of statements." On the dismissal incident, Col. Price nor other ministers con- cerned were inclined to comment, re- Rrding it as a matter of discipline tween the Commissioner and a member of the force. Brien challen- ges Acting Commissioner Cuddy to make public the correspondence in the case, but it is pointed out that there is probably very little corres- d involved in dismissal of an + HIN Control Act, and it 18 * for any former member of the force to say otherwise. This is the comment Hon, W., H. Price upon a new statement, last night, from R. ( Brien, dismissed, at Kitchener, in which he says that in one case at Blair he was ordered mot to prose- cute, and ts that Cc Williams stated a certain tonetioge man could "buy all the liquor he wanted and do what he wanted with "Every officer has to use judgment, should be masquerading as the great rat catcher, you should also observe some .

Report Called For Meantime, although Brien has made C. Ino appeal 10 the Attorney-General 18 that his dismissal was unjustified, Col. Price yesterday asked Acting Commissioner Cuddy for a full report, This will involve obtaining of infor- mation from the district inspector and others, and will nrobably not be submitted for several days. Mr. Cuddy's statement is that Brien's dismissal was not connected with his enforcement of the L.CA., but due to several other considera- tions, one being that he had placed himselt under obligation to a boot- egger, rien has referred to a recent pavement opening ceremony at Con- estogo, where he made a raid on a house and found men and women un- der the influence of liquor, but, as he states, was brought "up on the carpet" for his action. Guests at Conestogo at the time included Han, W. D. Euler, W. G. Weichel, M.P.P,, and Karl Homuth, M.P.P. "A tempest in a teapot," comment- ed Mr. Weichel, spe:king from Wa- terloo 'last evening, regarding the Brien controversy, "I would not like to discuss it. As far as the Blair matter is concerned, I was away on my honeymoon trip." Provincial constables are usually assigned to attend celebrations of this kind for supervisory rurposes chief ly, but with instructions, if they see anyone breaking the law, to "take them into camp." Kitchener, Ont, Oct. 17--R. C. Brien, dismissed provincial police of- ficer, in answer to Deputy Commis- sioner Cuddy today, said that he .| challenged Cuddy to put the corres- ondence in regard to him into print, rien blames his strict enforcement of the L.C.A, here for his dismissal | gg and today again issued a challenge to the department for an investigation.
