'Iresidder, repre. sentative, REPRESENTATIVES IN US. Powers and Stone, Inc., New York and Chicago, Re NAN WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1929 BUY IN OSHAWA The merchants of Oshawa who are co-operating in the great three day sale which is being held on Thursday, Friday and Saturday are to be congratu- lated on their progressiveness, Loyalty to a com- munity is one of thé first responsibilities of those who live in it, and every dollar which is spent in outside towns and cities detracts from the wealth of the community, and from the amount of money circulated in it for the benefit of all citizens, Loyalty to a community means a responsibility to those who earn their living in it, The merchants of Oshawa form a large part of the community life, pay a large portion of taxes, pay out large sums in wages, and give a personal service to its citizens which can- not be given by concerns in distant or nearby places. Prosperity can only come to any community insofar' as its places of business are kept busy, and insofar as its wage-earners are willing to support those who, day in and day out, have their places of business available to serve the citizens, Apart altogether from the aspect of loyalty to the community, however, we believe that the merchants whose announcements appear in the special section of this issue arc offering values which will demon- strate that shopping can be done as cheaply, and to as good advantage, right at home in Oshawa, as in any other place, It will pay the citizens of Oshawa to study these special pages, and to take advantage of what is offered on them during the next three days. USE OF THE LIBRARY The growing use of the Oshawa Public Library is encouraging, The culture of a community depends to a large extent on the time which its people spend in the reading of good books, and the fact that so large an increase has taken place in recent months shows that attention is being paid to this means of finding both recreation and education. The circulation of good books is only one of the many functions which a well-conducted library per- forms in a community. Those in charge of the in- stitution can also do much to foster a love of liter- ature by their advice to those who seek it." By the nature of their vocation, the librarians, as a rule, are in a splendid position to suggest reading of the right type to suit all persons, and tending to. improve the minds of those who seek such improvement. It is encouraging, too, to mote that the children are making greater use of the library facilities, The acquiring of the habit of good reading in the days of youth has 2 great influence in later life, and 2 race of young people growing up with a love of literature of the best type is a decided asset to any community or country. HIGHWAY FINANCING The deputation from Chatham which interviewed the minister of highways yesterday with a request for assistance in improving the connecting links op the highway running through that city voiced a sentiments which has long been prevalent in the minds of officials of many Ontario towns and cities. Under the present act, the cities are required to pay twenty per cent of the cost of highway con- . struction and maintenance on those portions which are adjacent to their boundaries, the distance vary- ing with the extent of the suburban area outside each community. But, on the other hand, nothing is al- lowed the towns or cities for the expenditures made on those sections of the provincial highway within their boundaries. : ! To many people, this has seemed manifestly unfair, They cannot see, for instance, why Oshawa should have to pay twenty per cent of highway costs on sections outside the city, while the province pays nothing on those paits inside the city, on King Strect. a2 . . King Street, by its position as a connecting link of the highway system, has to carry much more than the normal local traffic. It has, in addition, to bear all the through traffic which is created by the high- way, and at certain scasons this is heavier than the logal traffic. Thus the cost of keeping this street up to standard is much heavier than it would otherwise be, and it seems feasible that the government should recognize it as part of the provincial highway system for financing purposes. The principle that the costs should be apportioned on the basis of through and local traffic is recognized by the government in its financing arrangements with rural municipalities. For those portions run- ning through a county, the province pays 80 per cent and the county 20 per cent. This is said to be the just proportion of through and local traffic. : gr same principle, as is contended by the Chatham | deputation, should be applied to the highway con» necting links, so that the cities would not be unduly burdened by the upkeep of streets to carry heavy through traflic. This matter, of course, has been before the gov- ernment on previous occasions, hut without result, and there is no assurance that favorable consideration will now be_given to it. But from the standpoint of justice, it would seem that the cities have a good case, BUTTER AND THE DAIRY INDUSTRY Some newspapers are making a great deal out of the fact that a large shipment of butter recently ar rived at Halifax from New Zealand, and are using this as a means of blaming the trade treaties with New Zealand and Australia for ruining the dairy industry of Canada. That view, however, is not shared by those who are fully conversant with dalrying conditions, In the first place, at the recent dairy conventions in Eastern and Western Ontario, speaker after speaker, all men of prominence in dairying circles, testified to the fact that the industry was prospering as never before, and that, by the addition of more outlets for milk and milk products, wider markets were be- ing created, and the industry given a strong stimulus, It may seem strange that it should be necessary to import large quantities of butter into Canada, but nevertheless, the need exists, and the fact that it can come in from New Zealand at a reduced duty means, that it goes on the tables of the working men at a cheaper price, Nor are the dairy farmers suffering as a result, for prices of butter have been at a higher level in the last few months than they were before butter came in at all from the anti. podes, The reason for this is not hard to find, Consump- tion of butter has increased tremendously in this country, but there has been no appreciable increase in the Canadian production, Farmers are finding so many other profitable markets for their milk that less butter is being made, but the effect on the in- dustry is not harmful, Rather is it beneficial, for with many new kinds of markets competing for the milk, there is bound to be a stability of price that should make dairying, if anything, give better re. turns than before. So that, while they are not ruining the dairy in- dustry, the treaties by which butter comes in from the Antipodes is helping the country, in that it is adding to a supply which is not sufficient to meet the demands, and is making it possible for the work- ing man to buy butter at a cheaper price than would otherwise be possible, A POLICE CHIEF'S MOTTO Lord Byng hag chosen an excellent motto for his conduct of the office of commissioner of the London Metropolitan police, As has been stated a few days ago in this eolumn, he has shown commendable promptness in putting an end to abuses which ex- isted, Now he has given his ideals in carrying on his work as head of the world's greatest police or- ganization, After a consultation with the home sec- retary, he said: -- "I will have a clean and law-abiding city, and I mean to have efficient and law-abiding police," That is a motto which should have a place on the wall of every police office. It is an ideal towards which all police heads should .aspire, There can only be clean and law-abiding cities as the people learn to respect the members of their police depart- ments, for respect of the police goes hand in hand with respect for the law, which they represent. Efficiency is always desirable in any public depart- ment, but in the police force, honesty counts for even more than efficiency, for without it there can be no efficiency, The experiences of the United States with police. officers who have no respect for the law have been deplorable, and with the knowledge of these experiences, the motto of Lord Byng should have a large place in the conduct of police adminis- tration in this country, 4 EDITORIAL NOTES All the world loves a listener.

(Hamilton Spectator) It is proposed to turn over $24,000000 to President- elect Hoover, with instructions to spend it as he sees fit to make prohibition enforcement a success. The trade however, would seem to be too firmly en- trenched now to be concerned about such pin money. TRADE AND LUXURY (Daily Express) After providing for all charges, expenses, and in- come tax, the British American Tobacco Company declared a profit of £6,500,000. Tobacco is one of the luxuries of life, and some severe moralists, and some still more rigid economists, will be shaking their heads over the immense sums that must have been squandered to make possible the harvesting of such enormous profits from a commodity that is more of an indulgence than a necessity. But they are quite wrong. If we eliminated luxuries from the world's trade, and restricted it entirely to the essentials of existence, half the universe would soon be starving.

First, the athlete is in earnest about getting into condition or he wouldn't do this hard road work. Second, he knows that if .the ath- lete does do this road work that he will be in good condition the day of the bout or race. Why does road work mean so much? Because when you raise the body off the ground and send it forward as in running, you have raised 100, 125, 150, 175, or whatever your weight may be, upwards and forwards, o do this tremendous amount of work the heart must pump that blood down to the legs, and as it does it in a regular and rhythmical manner, its own muscle or muscles are strengthened, Similarly as the lungs must purify this extra amount of blood sent down to the legs, the lungs likewise become stronger. You can readily see that with an efficient heart, and efficient lungs, the foundation work is laid. Then he cats the right kinds of foods, really an all round diet, omit- ting pastry, What happens? His heart is so good that it pumps good blood around, because he now gets so much oxygen from the air that he burns up any wastes in his food. His liver does an extra good job because it hasn't so many poison- ous wastes to remove from the blood, and it stores up an extra sup- uply of glycogen or sugar for the time when the strain of the game or bout arrives. What about the rest of us? A good brisk walk, pushing body forwards, is the next best thing to running. However if your doctor thinks you can do this much, you can take off your shoes and jog in front of an open. window, or in a well aired room. If you start off with 25 to 50 steps you'll find yourself gradu- ally getting up to 150 to 200 without trouble. Remember even this much work is not safe unless your doctor says so, because, as pointed out above, when you raise your body from floor or ground you do a lot of work.
