TUESDAY, JUNE 11, 1929 NOTHING AGAINST THEM It is very rare to find the ratepayers of a municipal~ "My called upon to vote on by-laws which have so' much to commend. them, and so complete a lack of ground for criticism and opposition as the by-laws which are to be submitted to the ratepayers of Osh- awa on Saturday of this week. The hydro and gas + purchase by-law has been before the people of Osh- "awa for many months, and so far, no real argument against the passage of this by-law has been put for~ wards. On the contrary, all the valid arguments which can be made favor strongly, the carrying of the - by-laws. by 4 * »* LJ In both projects, there is the advantagous feature that the passing of the by-laws will not add one cent _ to the taxes of the citizens. The purchase price of the hydro and gas plants will be paid, in equal instalments spread over twenty years, out of the revenue from these utilities, and the record of profits from these plants in the past shows that, even with reduced rates, these principal and interest charges can be more than met. Thus the buying of these utilities will not place any extra obligation on the people in the way of taxes. . The same is true of the industrial area by-law. It Is the plan of this by-law to purchase land for indus- trial purposes only when it is needed. This land, it should be noted, is=not to be given away to industries. Under the statutes of Ontario, that is illegal. It must be either sold or leased to the industrial concerns which are to occupy it. And 'the sale price must be a fair price, not a nominal one, There must be a guar- antee that the city will receive back, when the sale is made, all that was paid for it, plus the carrying charges. Thus the resale of the land will fully reim- burse the city for its purchase, without adding in any way to the burden of municipal taxation. RE TRE There can be no argument against the proposal to ensure Oshawa's industrial development along safe: and sound lines by the creation of an industrial area. Every citizen wants to see Oshawa grow, and in- dustrial growth is what will stimulate all other kinds of expansion. In Toronto and Hamilton, industrial pro- gress has been possible because of municipal control of industrial areas, exactly what the by-law proposes to give to Oshawa. What possible valid argument could there be against a by-law which provides for this kind of control of Oshawa's industrial sites. It would be hard to find, too, a man in the city of Oshawa who would be so blind to his own interests as to oppose a by-law which gives the only gurantee of reduced clectric rates. Without the by-law, there can be no reduction. That should. be borne in mind very clearly. The provincial commision has definitely said so. With the passing of the by-law, and the tak- ing over by the city of the electric and gas systems, it will at once become possible to consider the re- duction of rates. The estimated surplus for the first year. will be more, than sufficient to make possible a lower 'rate for domestic and commercial lighting, at least. 3 * * » What argument can there be against a proposal of this kind.' Human nature is the same all the 'world over, and there are very few people in the world who would deliberately oppose something which = gives thm an opportunity to make substantial savings in cold cash. : » » » The disposition of the profits on the Oshawa elec- tric and gas operations provides another un- answerable argument in favor of. their purchase. At present, these profits, amounting to $85,000 . last year, went into "the pot" at Toronto, and stayed there to build up a reserve to help other municipali= ties. When the systems are purchased by Oshawa, the profits will remain with the local commission to help pay off the indebtedness on the system, and to | be used for the reduction of electric rates. From the standpoint of Oshawa, the only plan worth consid- ering at all is that which keeps the profits here for the sole benefit of the consumers of this city. These are but the main arguments in favor of the bylaws, and there are none against them worth consid- ering. The ratepayers cannot make any mistake by " passing all the by-laws on which they are to vote on Saturday, and, in order to show their confidence in their city, and their desire to sce it go ahead in the future even more than it has in the past, they ought to make sure that they vote, and make their vote count in favor of the bylaws. THE SAFETY CAMPAIGN ! The Hon. G. S. Henry, minister of highways for Ontario, has launched his 1929 campaign for safety on the highways. The record of accidents since this year began is such as to make a safety campaign a neces- sity. There is still too much carelessness and reckless- mess in the handling of motor vehicles on the high- THE OSHAWA DA ILY TIMES, TUESDAY, JUNE 17, 1929 ER ------ ways of the province, and it is only by incessant and insistent activity in educating drivers for safety that this can be reduced to a minimum. Avstudy of the motor accidents of recent weeks leads one to the conclusion that there are three main directions in which the campaign. of safety education : might be carried, These are-for the elimination of accidents 'which are caused by cutting' in on the their cars'in front of 'trains on railway cross- | ings, and by driving at.such a speed that- the car becomes out of proper. control. : } These three causes are responbile for the great maj- ority of serious accidents, and if they could be elimin- ated by the education of motorists to avoid them, the death and injury toll of motor traifice would be only a small fraction of what it is to-day. It would be worth while, therefore, to concentrate on these three factors, by impressing on the minds of | 'motorists the following three simple rules. 1 Never cut in while traffic is heavy. The risk is not : worth the time that may be gajned. 2. Never drive over a crossing without stopping and | looking both ways. It is better to lose a few seconds and be safe than to go right ahead to accident and possible death. 3. Never drive over the legal speed limit. These are simple rules, but motorists will be sur- prised if they stop for 2 moment to think of how of- ten they break them. And if they have escaped acci- dent by breaking them, it is just because they have had more good luck than good judgment. THE SASKATCHEWAN ELECTION The result of the general election in Saskatchewan is noteworthy in that it so closely resembles. the re- sult in Great Britain. In both' casés, no party has a clear majority; the government is in a minority, and a small group holds the balance of power with a new government evolving from the shuffle. The Conservative gains in Saskatchewan came as a distinct surprise. to the rest' of Canada. ' The prairie province has been looked upon as tradition- ally Liberal in politics, with little affection for the Conservative cause. This thought is borne out by the fact that, the Liberals have been in power there for the last twently-four years, and have always been able to command a substantial majority. It may be just as well, however, that a change has taken place. In fact, it may be that the long term' of offjce of 'the Liberal party is one of the chief rea- sons for its downfall. A quarter of a century in office is suficient to make the people want a change, if for no other reason that just to have one. A government in power for so long, too, is bound to leave itself open to attack and criticism, and to give 'the opposition' fighting ground of such a nature as to make possible the defeat of the party in power. That is what has happened in Saskatchewan. It may be a good thing for the Western province to have a change. After all, in the realm of provin: ciail politics there is not the same great differences in policy between the two leading parties. The problems to be faced are of a different character from those of federal affairs, and it is quite likely that one party can give just as good and as sound government as the other. A NEW WORLD FIGURE The settlement of the reparations problem has brought a new world figure into the limelight. That man is Qwen D, Young, United States financier, to whom belongs the sole credit of devising the formula for reparations payments which the allied nations and Germany found it possible to accept. True, it was not exactly what either side wanted, bit when the confer= ence at Paris seemed doomed to failure, and the rep- resentatives. of the various nations were trying to frame their excuses for its failure, Owen D Young was doing some quiet figuring, and finally emerged with a set of figures which has been adopted. The success of Mr. Young in bringing the natious together 'means much to the world. It removes from Europe the tense feeling of mistrust and suspicion which has existed since the war ended. It will eventu- ally mean the removal from Germany of the armies of occupation which still hold the Rhineland, and this will mean a new era of better feeling hetween the allies and their former enemy. : So far as the financial terms are concerned, the al- lies have little in the settlement on which they can congratulate themeselves, but there are other im- portant considerations which mean a decided gain, and not the least of these is the certainty that at least there is a real hope for a financial and economic stab- ility in Europe that will make itself felt in a beneficial way all over the world, The credit for this condition belongs almost en- tirely to Mr. Young, who stuck to his task after most' men would have given up in despair, and comes out of the conference as the man, who saw the way to daylight out of the darkness of misunderstanding and mistrust. Pe EDITORIAL NOTES Une of the best ways to improve the memory is to lend money instead of borrowing it. Hamilton, with its new airport, now has at lcast one reason for lording it over Toronto. The only man in Canada today who has any reason to be looking down in the mouth is the dentist. A fashion note says that cotton is coming back into favor. But it is quite gle to say that this will never apply to stockings. The campaign agaist weeds that is being waged by the farmers might very well be extended to cover some of the vacant city lots. Even although Empire Shopping Week is a thing of the past, Canadians can still find it profitable to buy Empire-made goods. : Now that the sporting season is in full swing, the people of Oshawa are realizing how fortunate they are to have daylight saving. Nothing should be sufficiently important to keep the ratepapers away from the meetings at which the bylaws are to be discussed. 'The people of St. Thomas are to save $4,000 a year by reduced electric rates. The people of Oshawa can save more by buying their electric and gas dis- tribution systems.

YOUTHFUL AGE (London Daily Express) The old lady in DIesex who has just bobbed her hair at 103 is one more proof of how far greater {is the influence of youth on age than of age on youth.

That she caught the flu as a consequence of her act is a misfortune she will accept as part of the suffering demanded of beauty. The great thing is that she has never lost her sympathy with the high, adventuring spirit of youth. 7] - Bits of Humor - FLOWERY SPEECH Florist: You want to say it with flowers, eh? About two dozen.

PRAYER--"Guard me, O Lord, that I may ne'er Forsake the Health and Housing Contributed, by the Social Service Council of Canada ARTICLE NO. 2 LACK OF FRESH AIR The most serious housing evils are assoclated. with lack of fresh air and sunlight, which are two ut the greatest factors in the promo- tion of health: and 'the prevention of disease. : Ventilation consists in supplying fresh air of the proper temperature (66°F-68°F) 'and humidity, in gen- tle motion and free from dust or fumes. Fresh air is nature's tonic; it stimulates the appetite," promotes sleep and good digestion and in- creases the joy of living. It is es- sential in building up a strong body and in developing a resistance to disease. Fresh air lessens the chance of an individual's contract- ing colds, influenza, tuberculosis, pneumonia, and cerebro-spinal fev- er. In addition to its usefulness as a preventive ggené, it alen has a cu- rative value in early cases of tuber- culosis, in cases of a septic nature, in chorea and other nervous di- seases, and in convalescence from the communicable diseases. The number of cases of infective pharyngitis and epidemic catarrah on a transport was ten times us great among the men on three bad- ly-ventilated decks as among thone on 2 well-ventilated deck. ouses in which thgough-and- through or 'cross ventilation can be easily secured are the healthiest. that is, houses with windows In every room and on all sides so that fresh air may flow right through. Rooms in two-family or multiple dwellings should not be ventilared or lighted by little windows open- ing on small narrow shafts that furnish neither fresh air nor sun- shine. It is perhaps not practical to ex- pect that every individual room in a house should have through-and- through ventilation, but every room indirectly through transoms, doors or windows in other rooms, should be susceptible to cross ven- tilation. If this is not possible then housing conditions are bad. Overcrowding Overcrowding is one of the most serious evils associated with bad housing. Newman states "gross overcrowding and domestic insani- tation. spell, inevitably, disease and degeneration of race, as no one can doubt who appreciates the ef- fect of slum life, as seen in all our great cities and in many country villages. Moreover, it must be re. membered that though infectious disease is a relatively small contri- butor to death-rate, it is relatively a large contributor to disablement and incapacity." Prevention of Overcrowding In practical public health work, the preventibn of overcrowding is an extremely difficult thing to ac- complish. There is nothing that so taxes the patience and ability of the conscientious health officer, The only way in which this very serious problem can be solved is to have compulsory registration and a permit granted of all multiple dwellings where 'lodgers, roomers or boarders are taken, after inspec- tion and approval. If the regula- tions are not complied with the permit could be revoked. WHAT'S IN A NAME? Waiter: Here is some very good canvas-back duck, sir.

If he can get away practically "with the gun" it often means just the dif- ference between winning and losing a race. Now this good start applies very much to digestion. If you work hard outdoors your appetite is so good that you get a good start with digestion naturally; you don't really have to think about it at all, However if you are an indoor worker, with little real labor to per- form, or if you are not feeling any too well, you will get a poor start in digestion. Therefore you may find it neces- sary to develop or cultivate a good start. How? By spreading your meals far apart, and more particularly by patronizing a restaurant cafeteria whose cooking and arrangements appeal to your brain--taste, smell, sight--be- cause these stimulate, or prevent the stimulation, of the flow of the diges- tive juices. When it was learned some years ago that the sight of food stimulated the saliva or digestive juice in the or mouth itywas naturally haled as a great dis€overy. Then a little later it was discover- ed that the sight and smell of food could stimulate the digestive juice in the stomach. And now research men have dis- covered that the digestive juice in the pancreas is stimulated to action by the smell and taste of food. Now just as the sight and smell of inviting food can stimulate these digestive juices to flow, so also this flow can be prevented or lessened if the food is not inviting. However Dr. A. C, Ivy tells us that fortunately for our health the pancreas is not affected quite so much as the saliva and stomach juice when food is not inviting. On the other hand however, physi- cal and mental distress can lessen the flow of the pancreatic juice. This means then that in addition to having food inviting in appear- ance, that only a small quantity should be eaten at one time where there is any physical or emotional disturbance. Heavy meals at this time will mean just so much undiges- ted food to cause distension and dis- tress in abdomen. (Registered in accordange with the Copyright Act.) HE MEANT WELL? "What?
