OSHAWA, SATURDAY, AUG, 5, 1922 aaa A Bditor MAKE FIREMEN WELCOME Oshawa is to honored the first 'threb days of next week by the Fire- Men's Association of Ontario, when this organization of volunteer fire fighters will hold their 21st annual convention in our midst. This is the largest gathering which Oshawa has had the pleasure of en- tertaining for many months. These men will probably come from all parts of the province. Likely about 1,600 will be present for the sthrée days as delegates, and on Wed- ' nesday for the big parade and sports program it is expected between 8,000 and 10,000 visitors will throng Osh- awa's Streets, It is a privilegé to have so many visitors and it is an opportunity for advertising Oshawa that should be capitalized to the full. There will 'be few residents who will not rub shoulders at some time or other with these visitors, either in their homes, if they are billeting firemen, or in the streets. It behooves every resident to give these visitors the "glad" hand jmake them feel at home, and as the Improvements (Continued from page 1) Commissioner Coad thought Mayor Stacey had a suggestion to make, al- though he wouldn't put it. in the form of a recommendation.

Commis- sioner Stalter thought that all the toilets at Alexandra Park should have ventilators to carry away the odor and remarked that the washing of the seats was all right but that the water soaked into the woodwork and the offensive smell remained. Mayor Stacey outlined to the Board the construction of some sanitary conveniences which use chemicals and remarked that there was hardly any odor connected with these, Chairman Henry stated that the people would have to put up with the present accommodation for the time being and Commissioner Coad remarked, "Yes, we are simply look- ing ahead to the future."

BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY ALL IS WELL:--Let not your displayed their hostiltiy to the two groups named. Everywhere govern- ment prohibitions of Fascisti gather- ings have been ignored. It is doubt- ful whether a general election would clear the atmosphere in present con- ditions. Dramatic developments in connec- tion with the Geman reparations are hinted in British despatches, though there is no definite outline on which to judge as to their coming to a head shortly. Onc report is that if France will fall in with British ideas as to reparations and plans respecting Ger- many--and presumably Russia then Britain will cancel a large part of the French debt to her. A prema- ture report that this had actually been agreed to resulted in a flurry in France a few days ago and much laudatory comment upon the action of Britain. That the proposal is be- ing discussed is not denied. Premier Poincare of France is to confer in Britain with Lloyd George and other members of the cabinet on the mat- ter. It is not strange that the ques- tion of debt cancellation is still to the fore. More and more apparent is the truth that until an adjustment of a drastic mature is reached as to this, there will be grave trouble for Euro- pean countries allied with Britain in the war.

In the Re-| public there has been a dislocation of business and loss to industry that is impossible of calculation, together wth disturbanees that have taken their toll of human life. Every coal and railway strike in the United States affects Canada more or less intimately. The merest knowledge of the geographical position of the two countries, and of the coal areas in this country makes that under- standable. The shortage of fuel in many parts of Canada emphasises ithe point. It is true that in the United States a national emergency has heen declared to exist and the govérnment hag stepped into the fray in regard to both the minir and the railway situation. Imme good results cannot be fairly expected In our own country conciliation and arbitra- tion have done much. There is much to he done. For Canada perhaps, the lesson is that our own resources should be developed to the utmost of their capacity. vent a more te or less appreciable de- States. But it would lesson bandicaps and embarrassments. In Ontario it is often asserted that "white coal" will make the province independent of the black variety.
