A Wade INES, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1928 A year; elsewhere in Canada, 84.00 r; United States, $5.00 a year, 407 Bond Building, 4a Temperance Street, Tele phano Adelaide 0107, H, D, Trenidder, repre: sen : : - Al == a a FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1928 50,000 by 1935? Oshawa's consistent growth is again demonstrated by the population figures made public on Tuesday, The numerical increase, 8,680, is the largest shown in any year in the history of this municipality, and the total, 24,139, brings the city close to the 26,000 mark, With the adjoining sections of East Whitby township, Westmount, Har- mony and North Oshawa, the people living in greater Oshawa would no doubt aggre. gate 27,000, But, more impressive than the actual fig- ure of growth, is the statement that the in. crease is more than 17 per cent, over last year, No other city in Ontario can boast of this percentage of growth, This is the second year in succession that Oshawa has had an increase approximating this figure, the percentage increase last year over 1926 being 18,56 per cent, although the total num. ber of new citizens, 8,228, was less than this year, It is not unreasonable to suppose that 'Oshawa will grow steadily in size, and be- come in time an industrial city east of To. ronto rivaling Hamilton on the west, Even the most conservative of forecasters proph- esy a population of 50,000 within a few years, This basis was taken by Gore, Na- smith & Storrie, consulting engineers of To- ronto, when they submitted to the city coun- cil recently their report on the proposed sewage disposal plant here, In their report they said: "Indications point strongly to the rapid growth of Oshawa....A ten per cent "per annum increase in population during the next ten years is not at all unlikely, A sew- age treatment plant constructed at this time should have a capacity sufficient for 50,000 people and should be so arranged as to pro- vide for enlargement," In connection with their report, Gore, Na- smith & Storrie submitted a table showing the length of time that would be required for this city to reach 50,000 at various rates of annual increase in population, If the city gained only 8 per cent, each year, it would be double its present size in 1950; if it gain. ed 4 per cent, per annum, it would have pass- ed the mark by 1946; if the rate of increase was b per cent, each year, it would be a city of 50,000 by 1941; and if it grew at the rate of 10 per cent, per year, it would have at- tained that size by 1986, Taking the table a little further, and including 121% per cent. and 16 per cent, rates of growth--both of which are lower than the percentage increase for the last two years--Oshawa would be a city of 50,000 in 1985 if it grew 12'% per cent, per year, and in 1988, only five years from now, if it continued to grow at the rate of 15 per cent, or more per annum, When this table of probable. growth is studied, it shows conclusively that both civic and commercial interests have a real task in planning for the future in this city, The proposed sewage disposal plant is only one of many items that the city council has to consider--the city hall, fire and police head- quarters building, parks, schools, and public utilities have to be taken into consideration in planning for the future needs of Oshawa. A doubling of the population of the city within ten years, which does not seem at all improbable, will mean that business enter- prises in the city may plan for greatly in- creasing demand for their services and goods, and no doubt the next few years will see Oshawa's business district undergo rapid expansion in all directions, Perhaps the best possibly note that can pedestrians, "How many motorists stop at the # signa?" was a question asked us one ing, No doubt a large Jucwige of - mobile and truck drivers do stop ence to the city injunction which makes Sim. coe and King streets: through highways, but not a few accidents and near accidents ave a direct result of drivers taking a chance, and swinging around a corner, often without any regard for approaching traffic, Drunken drivers, one-light drivers, no-brake drivers, and speeders are some of the other particu. larly careless and inconsiderate motorists found in our own city, * But, of course, the driver is not always to blame, and education of boys and girls, to "look up and down before they cross the street;" to refrain from hitching on to auto- mobiles when they are riding bicycles; to cross streets only at crossings; and to not play on the pavements, especially with hand carts, will accomplish much in the elimina. tion of traffic accidents in this city, EDITORIAL NOTES Success consists of having other wish they were you, The outlook for 1929 is bright for those who look out, A success is a man who picked out the right kind of habits, : Cupid helps a poor fish to get caught in the matrimonial net, The greatest crime in the movies is the way they select their heroes, Yet there is no particular virtue in for. giving and forgetting if you licked the other fellow, If he thinks you haven't anything, and treats what you think you've got, he is call ed a neurologist, Alas!"

He took my hand in his brawny fist, And pumped it heartily, "If a friend of mine calls you his friend, That's all that I ask---and, say! Just mark me down as a friend of yours, And I'll like it best that way, "The friends that I've got are all-time friends, Not just when the skies are blue! When trouble comes and the storm-clouds break They're certain to see me through, When disaster looms they do not race Like rats from a sinking ship, ; But shoulder my burden slong with theirs-- And ll with a smiling lip, "So that's why I say if you're their friend, Then you are a friend of me; If they vouch for you it's proof enough The kind of a ps! you'll be!" Then he squeezed my hand 8s 8 final word, And waved me 8 welcome in, To the home of 8 man who loved his friends And those who believed in him, What could you do with 8 manlike thet But honor his trust in you, And work to keep his faith in his friends The best you knew how to do!

You have a per ht to imagine anything you fact the more you womder world the more popular will become. | to tell the truth (7) a radio came t'other day from ce inviting the wife and me to over there som'eres, we just had time to cateh the England, so off we the odo od 2 ug! ur was prominent during the whole trip that we almost cancelled our tick and took a ship back at the half- way stand. But we will admit that these old-fashioned Atlantic planes take a little to make the jour- ney, & day and a half, but tuum that's evened up by the softness of the beds and the first-class meals, They serve fine meals, let me tell you. You first get soup, Salamander type with fish and chips floating around om the top, Then there's a salad, usually sea- weed offset with dainty specks of ocean pickerel, The meat course is any choice of fish with garnishes of whale meat or salmon, Coffee » la Azores with chopped dohnut- holes helped to finish a splendid Tapa and we certainly enjoyed it all, There was one thing which my wife and I objected to, in fact the whole two hundred suests didn't lke it; and that was that the pilot and his four assitants insisted on getting drunk when we were hard. ly by Land's End. There ought to be a law against operating a plane while intoxicated, In some places we went so high we couldn't see the earth, and goodness knows 1 thourht we would be shooting off to Mars any minute. However, we settled hack ta enjoy the day, which ended in a big dance in the dining hall of the plane, The orchestra was 'one of the finest we ever heard, direct from Honolulu, they sald; shipped on the way from Austral. During the afternoon my wife and I went for a stroll on the wings, The sun seemed far helow us, but I guess the rare atmosphere kind of got me mixed up in my dir- ections. Ta tell the truth I don't see yet how those aviators know where they are heading for. But they don't seem to mind, for when we got around to the wheel-house, they were playing cards and didn't seem to worry, You know they tell me the plane almost runs itself, most ly by radio I understand. Once in a8 while, the Captain told mre, the plane runs into a storm, but storms don't bother them any more. They pass over them, or wait for them to pass, Oh, yes, they have a new arrangement so that the plane ean sort of "anchor itself' in the air, Quite neat, I should say. You know when Mr. Lindbergh flew the At- lantic they couldn't do that sort of thing. You'd truly think that they would have had enough bras to think of some modern econven- lences, though, wouldn't you?, But I was telling you of our stroll around the wings, It takes almost an hour to do it, and see every- thing, Once in a while we paused to watch another plane go by, and twice we stopped to exchange mail, We didn't see many of the crew, however. hecause there was an or- gan recital on board and most of them were up in the auditorium, When we got so we could see the coast of England, we began park- ing up, because the plane doasn't stay long at the hangar. You know that's another drawback to flying to England, There is a terrible fuss and rush for the elevators at the , It takes too long a time to go down from it to the hotel below. It's almost half a mile down. But 1 suppose we have to put up with those sort of things until the company gets more money and im- stalls more elevators or something better, They're thinking of some- thing mow, however, which I think will be an improvement. Taxi aero- planes are being purchased to take the guests down io the ground. It'll be along soom, I expeet. There's one thing which impress. ed me, the prices for the trip. Can you logically think of $25 for go» ing across the ocean. Why, I expeet- ed to pay at least $50 when 1 called up the ticket office at the Four corners and asked for a bern, You know there are some wonder- ful changes going on in aviation, and I wouldn't be a bit surprised to find these automobiles flying some day, 1 got a radiogram on my own set just this morning telling mb that the wife's sister is having a bridge in her Italy residence mext Tuesday, and I've come to the point where I think we'll slip aver and take it in, Well, so long, just going over to Buffalo for the afternoon, see you W-night.
