It is probable that it would take several years to ar- 'range the preliminaries. That is a strong reason why there should be no further delay in making a start, Advocates of the development will interpret the Premier's decision as a desire to remain "on the fence," His colleagues from Montreal naturally are opposed to the scheme, However, {if he persists in his decision to not enter into negotiations he will have to reckon with the prairie members + er + - 3.

It is equally important, on patriotic grounds, that Oshawa residents buy in Oshawa every article they need which is procurable in town. Only in that way can they prove that they are loyal to the industries who provide the wherewithal for them to live, and to the merchants who de- sire to serve them, and help build up the town. Be loyal to your own community. Take advantage of the splendid prices offered in local stores. Profit by . your experience in so doing, con- tinue to buy in Oshawa, and help make it an even better town in which to live. OSHAWA CANNOT DO WITH- OUT ITS Y.M.C.A. Every individual and every insti- tution which hopes to amount to any- thing must overcome many trials in his or its existence. By so doing they become stronger, more able to battle their way along, and better fitted to render service to the other fellow, which is properly becoming recognized as the great test of um- selfishness. Oshawa Y.M.C.A. has had its ups and downs. Reports presented at the annual meeting this week told of obstacles that had to be surmounted, of discouragements that had to be faced; of staff changes that placed many handicaps on the work which such an institution aims to do. Bat out of these clouds, which at times wene very dark, the silver lining can now be seen. An energetic staff is in charge, and given the wholehearted support of the directors 'and the general public, better work taam ever before should be dome by this community institution this year. Any municipality is better for hav ing a Young Men's Christian Associ- ation im its midst. The need for the "Y* in Oshawa is particularly great. inasmuch as there are several humn- dreds of young mem working here, many of them away from their homes, who require just such a cen- tre.

Reason for the neglect of this side of Canadian country life can perhaps be found in the fact that no tradition of that kind has come down from pioneer days. Our forefathers were (oo busy hewing homes out of the pri- meval forests to pay much regard to the cult of decorative beauty, that only comes with a resonable suffici- ency of leisure 'and respite from strenuous toil. Nowadays, however, signs of a change in this respect are in the air. A new spirit is abroad. there is far greater and better di- rected activity among horticultural societies and other organizations that are devoting themselves to im- proving and beautifying homes, vil- lages and towns. Even in England it is found neces- sary to maintain and stimulate the | |] the session.

The Women's Village Council Federation of Eng- land is actively engaged im this eil- fort and circulates im the schools a form of pledge to be signed by the scholars. They undertake to do all they cam to preserve the beauty of the village or town where they live. In one village in Yorkshire alone 140,- 000. children gave this promise ia nineteen years, the result being an entirely new environment and at- mosphere, both attractive and ia- spiring. The promise signed by the children contains these four pledges: 1. 1 promise not to destroy wild "birds' nests, nor to take their eggs, nor to pull up plants by the roots, and not to injure animals, trees, plants and flowers. 2.
