OSHAWA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1922 SHALL WE KEEP THEIR MEMORIES GREEN? Four years ago next November the armistice which concluded the Great War was signed, During that time we have returned to our peace pursuits; the settling down process has been going on, and we are nearer back to normal now than at any time during the last eight years, Because of thig return to normalcy we seem to have forgotten the sacrifices made by our brave boys "'over there,' Individually, doubtless, we all think of Jack, or Tem or Bill who sleeps under foreign soil, but eolleetively the people of Oshawa appear to have grown calloused. Otherwise how can one account for the faet that mo permanent memorial to these boys. has been erected here. Other cities and towns not only in this district, but throughout the whole eountry, have been proud to erect memorials to their fallen, na This lack of community appreciation is a sad in- dictment of Oshawa's gratitude to the heroie services rendered by our boys. A campaign to raise the money necessary, if preliminary arrangements were made now, could be conducted throughout the town on Armistice Day this year. -As the months pass there will be less likelihood of a memorial being erected, "Do it now" is the maxim that ought to be adopted. AN ORGANIZATION IS NEEDED Another effort is to be made to form an association of hydro municipalities who are customers of the Central Ontario Power System. In the past such efforts have not met with the support of many of the smaller municipalities, but the men behind the pres- ent plan are hopeful that the passage of time, and experience, may have stressed the need for such an organization: on those formerly little interested. A meeting is to be held at Port Hope on October 3 to take steps to form this organization. Western Ontario has similar associations which have aceom- plished much for the municipalities who are members of them. Their views are respected by those in authority, and their requests are listened to. There are about 65 municipalities eligible to send representatives to the meeting on October 3. Every- one of them is vitally interested in the service pro- vided. by the Central Ontario system, and with that in common each city, town or village ought to put its shoulder to the wheel to make the association an influence for the benefit of all customers in this distriet. Canadians might we}l apply the quotation, ** We fear the Greeks when bearing gifts,"" to William Randolph Hearst. Recently we find him saying some 'it stands now. And this epuntry is glad of it. A LJ ---- yy ome OSHAWA,. ONTARIO, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 2}, 1922. nice things about Canadian institutions in the follow- ing words: "Our friends the Canadians are pros- perous and booming, Their money is at par, their crops abundant, their railroads are running, and efficient, Strikes don't tie them up, They have ex- cellent government, resources practically unlimited. A great empire is growing up. their to the North, destined to be greater than. all the British Empire as. | good pacemaker is a good thing," ---- ------ Premier King's assurance that mo matter what are the private views of members of the Cabinet on public ownership, they, as a Cabinet, are playing the game and are desirous of giving government opera- tion of the C.N.R, a fair trial is timely in view of statements reported to have been made by some prominent members of the Liberal party, Nickolai Lenin has a new role, namely, that of 'confidential adviser to the Russian people," *'Con- fidence men" have come to be known as dangerous customers in this country, and the Russian people may well look to their pockets, Preparations are being made for night classes in other cities and towns, and opening dates fixed. Oshawa Board of Education should soon take similar action, " Lifting of the war clouds which were so black over the week-end is even more welcome news than was the settlement, of the coal strike, The fellow who seeks to forget his troubles by drinking will suceed if he uses wood alcohol, SOURCE OF TRUE HELP: --My help cometh from the Lerd, which made: heaven and earth. -- Psalm 121: 2, "A LITTLE NONSENSE" Host -- Ah, Brown, let me introduce you to Mr, Popp-RByter. I'm sure you've read his famous books, Guest--N-n-o. I'm afraid I haven't had that | pleasure. Host --Oh, of eourse you have, my dear fellow, you've forgotten, that's it! Consider the cat! In ancient times On the wide, flat banks of the Nile, People worshipped with fear the frowning cat And quivered with joy at his smile, Now we are reviving the heathen ways Of Egypt and neighboring lands; And nearly have fits over pedigreed kits, Which we fondle, with reverent hands. And we put them in shows, where nobody goes But the very exclusive elite, And feed them from silver, and comb them with gold, And lay votive gifts at their feet. That is, some eats, you know ; for others still go In and out the back door af will ; For try as you may, in every known way, Some eats will be only eats still!
