PAGE SIXTEEN THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, MAY 30, 1929 PRT 3 Batok Ci 'What Others Say To The Editor, ~~, Oshawa Daily Times' , 'BOASTER VS. KNOCKER Dear Sir: i How long does a fellow have to live in your city before he is allow- ed to talk up to you Oshawa people without runnirg the risk of being ordered out of town? If two months will do, then I'll talk, My excuse for taking this liberty so soon is the belief that a new- comer gets a truer perspective of the probable: future developments of a city than the old time resident who just jogs along at his regular work, without taking time or giv- ing thought to the question of the City's possibilities. Be that as it may, the fact remains that after a careful study of the situation here, my faith in Oshawa is ponderous as compared with that of the aver- age Oshawa citizen, at least if one is to judge by the nearly unanimous blue-ruin and calamity talk that can be heard every day on every street in this city. Why? Oh, why? do you Oshawa eople eternally knock rather than DD the city in which you live and make your living? My family are ull British born, and I am a thor- ough Canadian, so, on commenting favorably on our cousins to the South, it is not that my sentiments run to that side of the line. But I must say that the people across the border are born boosters, or as we sometimes disparagingly spell it BOASTERS. No matter how you spell it, the spirit behind it has built wonderful cities on stretches of bare sand and barren deserts. The Boaster every time rather than the knocker. With our wonderful Canadian re- sources and with the manufacturies and industries that we have right here in Oshawa, if only a miracle could be worked to transform every knocker we have into a booster or boaster, nothing in this World could keep Oshawa from quickly becoming one of the finest and big- gest cities on this continent. Our population would pass the 100,000 mark almost before we could real- ize that it was growing. We are going there anyway, but by a rough and round-about road in spite of the knocking and lack of faith in our city. It will take longer, much longer, that's all, It is only a few years ago when Oshawa was a struggling little vil- lage, no larger than many other small places within a radius ot fifty miles, many of which are but little, if any, bigger today, while pur little village has blossomed out into a beautiful city of nearly 30,- 000 souls. Why? We must give some credit to a handful of men and 'women who have always had faith in Oshawa, and courage to back it up by investing and build- Ing, but the oustanding explanation !s in our INDUSTRIES. Have I "an axe to grind" in singing praises to our Captains of Industry? Yes and No. No, in that I am not in the pay of any manufacturer, and sersonally do not know a single executive of any of our big plams. Yes, in that I'am now earniny bread and butter for my family in Oshawa, and if I am to get jam on top of the butter, it will be because I help to BUILD rather than .u TEAR DOWN what others are striv- Ing to build up. It is not my intention to belittle any of the smaller industries in this city, many of which would do credit to much larger cities. More puw- er to them, and a hearty welcome t. others as large or even much smail- er. But, it seems only just to say n few words "right out in meetin," about our giant industry The Gen- eral Motors. When a small plant making waggons just a generation ago has developed into a plant with an investment of many millions sud now employ between six ana suyen thousand hands right here in Osh- RWa; a company which has sent the name "OSHAWA" rolling along the ptreets in cities of every land un. der the sum, it surely behooves Bvery 'citizen of Oshawa, whether or not he is one of the nearly seven thousand employees, to "Take off his hat" out of respect for the brains, energy and perseverance that has made such a record pos- sible; not only to take off his hat, but, mixing metaphors, to put his shoulder to the wheel and with a real shove and a royal hurrah, help the good work along. No factory can run year in and Year out incessantly to full capac- ity. 'The law of supply and demand and other contingencies, control the speed of production. Then, why, during a temporary lull of such cause do we immediately set up a howl of "Wolf Wolf?" It would be only fair for us to believe that the hand at the helm who has safely guided the ship through many a narrow channel is still hold- Ing course to broader waters. The writer has no knowledge, nor access to getting knowledge wo. the present of future plans of our Ereat industries, but he believes that right now unseen hands are 'writing on the wall" with an ul- imate result to astonish the most 'ptimistic citizen of Oshawa, and he wishes further to go on my {as predicting that as the years go {by this industry will continue its wonderful growth to a size to dwarf the present plant, and that as in the past at the right time they turned to the manufacture of auto- mobiles, so in the future, at the proper time another line will be added and that our skies will be dotted with aeroplanes made by the G.M.C. at Oshawa. In conclusion, let me invite every citizen of this fair city to at once and for all time stop knocking, Let's start boosting and boasting, "Atta Boy. OTTAWA SHAKE BY SEWER BLASTS Aged Woman Dies of Burns Fighting Flames in Home OTHERS INJURED Streets Blown Up--Flames Shot 50 Feet in: Air Ottawa, May 30.--Terrific sewer ex- plosions tore their way across Ot- tawa yesterday. Streets are upheav- ed and buildings are ruined. Mrs. Anna Hayden, aged 73, is dead, burned beyond recognition by the darting flames. Several others are suffering from burns and other injuries including cuts from flying glass. . Damage to property is estimated at over $50,000. People have abandoned their homes rather than spend a night of terri-| fied uncertainty, Throughout the af- ternoon women and children were crying in the streets, fearful that their homes would be destroyed in the next blast, Shortly after noon the first explo- sions occurred on Waverley street in the centre of the city in the necigh- borhood of Range road and Somer- sct east, After 3 o'clock another ser- ics of shocks followed, moving cast and north to Creighton street. While city officials were conducting an investigation various theories have been advanced to explain the catas- trophe. Recently the streets were oiled and it had been suggested that recent rains have carried the inflammable material into the sewers. Others be- lieve that gasoline from tanks has sceped into the drains.' Sewer gas it- sclf has been blamed, Property owners have freely voiced their intention to seck damages. The city has disclaimed responsibility. In the strects manhole covers were blown high into the air to release shects of flame. Indoors, fire was Cokes' For richer flavor and finer texture use Borden's St. Charles in place of ordinary milk. The difference will surprise you. > ---- FREE RECIPE BOOK The Borden Co.Limited, Dept.

Their efforts were with- out direction for no one could tell where the next explosion would be or how violent, Mrs. Hayden was alone in the house when the first explosion shook the frame building and swept the interior with a burst of flame. This caused the curtains on the dining room window to ignite and instead of rushing outside to saye herself, the courageous old lady remained in an attempt to beat out the flames and. prevent the starting of a blaze which would devour the entire buud- ing. - She was taken to the @eneral hos- pital where she died at 4.30 in the afternoon, Miss Lillian Pettypiece, 25 years of age, was burned on the legs, arms and head from a fire in the basement of the house. The buildings greatly damaged in- cluded that of the grocery and but- cher shop of Louis Torontow, which was so badly wrecked that it looked very much as though it had been bombed. Also the home of Captain Sam Blackler of the city fire depart- ment, which was almost completely wrecked, At the Torontow store three were slightly injured, Mrs. Torontow, who is suffering from a badly-sparined back and cut on the head; Mr. A, Leger, badly cut on the leg, and Mr. J. Hayter, cut over the right eye and on the leg. In the apartment over the store Mrs. K. Cohen fainted after the explosion but her condition is not serious, FEAR EXPRESSED FOR WHEAT POOLS Embarrassment Likely From Enormous Low Grade Holdings Ottawa, May 30.--There was a strong reaction yesterday among the members of parliament, particularly those from the west, to the big slump in wheat prices on the' Winnipeg mar- ket. Those not acquainted with the situation expressed fear that the wheat pools might suffer financial loss and embarrassment owing to the rapid depreciation in wheat values during the past 30 days. Members of the wheat pool, who are in parlia- ment, said there was no fear. While the general average price to the far- mer would be considerably reduced yet the wheat pool had advanced on- ly 85 cents per bushel, and this was to a large extent on wheat that ha: been sold at the rate of $1.20 to $1.30 per bushel. It is felt, however, that the wheat pools may suffer some embarrassment through the enorm- ous amount of low grade wheat they are carrying now that the market has been so depressed. The wheat pool have many critics and enemies in the west and the low prices which the pool farmers may receive for their wheat will be utilized against thesc co-operative organizations.
