D. 'freshdder, repre- sentative, * REPRESENTATIVES IN Us' Powers and Stoney Inc, New York and Chicago, EA pa 'SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 2, '1929 m-- aii ia ' CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WORK In his address to the Oshawa Kiwanis 'Club, Leon Frazer, secretary of the local Chamber of 'Commerce, gave much interesting information re- garding the workings of that body, and opened the-eyes of many of his hearers to the type of work the organization is trying to do. Perhaps the side of the work about which the public knows -least, and regarding which Mr. Frazer told the Kiwanis club a great deal, is the handling of inquiries from concerns seeking industrial locations. Only those in close touch with the situation and the work realize how much there is of this kind of inquiry, and how few of the inquiries are really worth while, It is true, as- Mr, Frazer pointed out, that flozens of schemes are put forward, most of them by men who bave an idea, but nothing else-- mo capital, no factory, no equipment to put the 'idea Into practice, Every city, of course, .is 'anxious to secure new industries, but.-none-of the cities of Ontario are anxious to be. saddled with a proposition which offers nothing but an opportunity to its promoters to sell stock. In many cases, the Chamber of Commerce, by faking' no action oni these propositions, has been acting in the best interests of the citizens, for it" has prevented the sale of stock im doubtful concerns -to the people -of -the community, For this work of investigation alone, it merits the thanks of Oshawa,. -.. amiprin : It may seem to some that the results achieved gre small, but the coming to Oshawa of even one or two small concerns, with possibiliff of future 'development, .is. more than sufficient compensation 'for all the disappointments encoutered in dealing with those which were not worthy of being given ® place in the industrial 'life of the community... THE LEGION REVIVAL The .determination of the members of the Oshawa branch of the Canadian Legion to 'bring about a revival of interest: in their organization, and a new era of constructive activity, is com- mendable, In {its very mature, the Canadian Legion is an organizatien which is different from all others, not only" because ofits qualifications for membership, but because of the work which it can do that cannot be done effectively by any other agency. It is true that the Oshawa branch of the Legion as been neither so active nor so fortunate as it might have been, and that it suffers somewhat in comparison with other branches in Ontario, Yet there is open to it a field of great usefulness in fighting the battles of those ex-service men of the Great War who cannot fight for themselves, who have, because of the impairment of their physique on war service, been thrown into the discard, as it were. Work of this kind is still necessary in Canada, for today, more than tem years after the war, there are more real problem cases to be given con- sideration than there were even within the first tive years. .. , There are but two injunctions which might be given the Legion members in their efforts to re- vive the work of their organization. One is that they must so carry on their activities as to merit the fullest confidence and support of the public, Without that, the Legion cannot hope for the 'maximum of success, i The other is that they must attract to their tanks more men of the officer type, men who were leaders in time of war, and who are fitted tb be the leaders of the Legion in time of peace. ! As a° national body, the Canadian Legion has, in the last two years, achieved wonderful things on behalf of the disabled men, the widows and the children of former ex-service men. There is still much to @0.. As the one great organization of men who served in the great war, the Legion' fas an establisheq, place in the mational Tife of , Canada, and so. long as it fully merits that place, §t will have the support of the public at large. SMOKING NUISANCES i "fn interesting controversy bas been raging in some newspapers regarding smokers' who make a , uuisance of themselves by smoking at all -times and in all places, irrespective of the .courtesies which are being outraged. For instance, smoking An busses in which ladies are travelling cannot but be offensive, not only to the ladies, ~but to ali-men who have the instiavts of a gentlemai™ Smoking in stores where girl clerks are employed, 4 and where ladies are shopping, with the smokers blowing their smoke into the faces of those of the ther sex, is another phase of the smoking nuis« ance which 'has been roundly condemned, and rightly so. * No fault is being found with smoking in itself, "but those who enjoy the pipe or cigar, or even the humble cigarette, can surely remember that there is a right time and a right place for everything, and that common courtesy demands that the amenities should be observed in this respect. A SIGNIFICANT MESSAGE A few days ago an important section of the Canadian Lumbermen's Association held a cone vention in Montreal, They were discussing ways and means of-building up business, The chief speaker was a man from the United States, Dr. Wilson Compton, secretary of the National Lum- ber Manufacturers' Association, of the United States, And his message to them was that there was only one royal road to ihcrease sales and business, and that was to advertise, : Extensive advertising campaigns, with an initial appropriation of $100,000 by the lumbermen in- terested, were advocated by Dr. Compton, who pointed out that only by advertising could they hope to combat the inroads on their industry of substitute makers, In his position as secretary of a great organ- ization, the speaker had learned, from first-hand experience, of the value of advertising, and he was eager to pass on to others the good news of what it could accomplish for them, And the same good news can be passed on to men in all lines of business, namely, that the only royal road to increasing sales and business is by means of advertisicg, A MANY-SIDED ASSET In the lagt few years, since the Canadian National Railways began to earn substantial operating sur. pluses, it has become customary to refer to the system as a great national asset, True.enough, the system is an asset to the country, and as time goes on, and it gradually reaches the stage of meeting all its commitments, the value of that asset will in- crease, A recent 'statement by Sir Henry Thornton, how- ever, shows that the Canadian National Railways system is an asset in other ways, In this statement, 8ir Henry showed that the C.N,R. was one of the largest purchasing agencies of Canadian goods in the Dominion, The vast nature of the purchases of the C.N.R, can be judged from the fact that in the last five years its reirchases have been as high as $140,000,000 in a single year, with $110,000,000 as the lowest of the five: years; 'Last year, over three million tons of Canadign coal were purchased, 12,000,000 railway ties, and millions of feet of large timbers from Bri- tish Columbia. Materials other than these, valued at $58,000,000 were also on the purchasing list. This means much to the Canadian people as a whole, for this money goes back to them in wages and in payment for natural products, An organiza. tion with such purchasing powers would be a valu. able asset to Canada even if it did not turfl one cent back. into the treasury of the country, EDITORIAL NOTES The least that is said about some things the better, yet there are persons who will keep on talking about them, It's an age of easy credit, and the only thing you cannot get on time is the repair job the garage man promised you at two o'clock, o About 86 per cent. of our national problems would disappear if nobody would try to get a liv- ing without earning it. Some old-fashioned folk made considerable "effort to be polite, but there is a scarcity of 'common courtesy in these days. - Other Editors' Comment - MARKED IMPROVEMENT (Hamilton Spectator) Bumpers on the new models at the National Motor show at Toronto are decided improvements. Not only do they ensure greater protection for the car, but they can be depended on to throw pedes- trians out of one's way, making a stop unneces- sary. IN THE WARM COUNTRIES (Lethbridge Herald) . Most of us are inclined to associate furs with the northern lands, but in the United States the two greatest fur-producing states are Louisiana and Arkansas. The muskrat and the possum are the chief contributors to the fur wealth of these states. BABE RUTH'S STATEMENT (New York World) With regard to the death of his wife, Babe Ruth was pressed by the mewspaper reporters for a statement. At first he demurred, but presently took a plece of hotel stationery and wrote the following, which he read to them: "I have not lived with my wife for three years. In that period I have only seen her a few times. 1 have done everything to comply with her wishes. Her death is a great shock to me. That is all | have to say." Under the circumstances, it seems to us that this was the essence of simple dignity. In a day of grief that is paraded before booming flash- | lights, it comes as a distinct surprise to see a public figure meet a trying situation as becom- ingly as did this baseball player, ta Glance BY RENRUT Well the poems are beginning to come in already, and next Friday the winners will be announced.

Barton, M.D. THE HEALTH OF THE WORKER In a large manufacturing plant a foreman in charge of an important department was suddenly stricken and died of a heart ailment within a few minutes. As this man had carried in his head many of the methods and pro- cesses necessary to the manufacture of certain parts, it was some weeks before the establishment could get running properly again, This firm now has its employees, every year, Now it isn't only because of heart ailments or other dangerous condi tions that this examination should be made. "An executive suffering with any chronic complaint, irritated by the nagging of an ulcer, under par be- cause of a bad throat or teeth, dis turbed by a headache due to bad vi- slon or obstruction in the nose, is as likely to be as much a liability to his concern as an aeset." For in- stance one doctor reports that among eighty foremen or minor executives, twenty-eight major defects were found in the first examination, in- cluding disturbances of heart, varl cose veins, skin ailments and rupture. Defects of vision, tonsils, teeth, blood pressure, overweight and un- derweight were found in even greater numbers, Now you can readily see that an 'urday and Sunday holidays, all are 'habits also. particularly the executives, examined |. -of Alice street, is the cause of it executive, with the natural worries that come to a man who has charge of other men, if. added these cast has one or more of the abdve con- ditions undermining his physieal re- sistance, cannot - do justice to his work, to himself, nor to the men un- der him. oh : Even if he is a "fair and square" man at heart his work and the men | under-him are bound to suffer. And aside from correcting defects, these examinations reveal to the ex- amining physicians many of the rea sons why some men are not in shape to. do the day's work of which they] should be capable, Insufficient food | of the right type, overindulgence in food, lack of sleep, lack of ventila- tion in the home, misuse of the Sat- International Proprietaries, Limited (Eno's "Fruit Salt') Class "A" Stock Dividends at the rate of $3.60 share um payable quarterly 15th foo Ay iy Sov Lgl od og PRICE: $38 per Share and accrued dividend, yielding 6.85%.
