SATURDAY, JUNE 22, 1929 INDUSTRIAL SITES With the carrying by the ratepayers of Oshawa of the bylaw authorizing the city council to go ahead with. the purchase of land for industrial sites, the question of an industrial area for Oshawa becomes a 'more live issue than ever before. Already a pro- posal has been placed before the city council for the purchase of a block of property on Simcoe street south adjacent to the land which has been purchased by the Skinner Company of Gananoque for the erecs tion of a plant in this city, The question of whether or not this property shall be acquired by the city comes before the council at a special meeting on Monday evening, when it will probably be given a full discussion, ' NE a Be In the acquiring of land for industrial purposes, there are some fundamental principles which should not be overlooked, For a city like Oshawa, which already has considerable industrial development, pro- posals which involve small parcels of land, or about an acre or two, are of very little use, so far as a real industrial area is concerned, The future develop- ment of the city council should be along well plane ned lines, with the Town Planning Commission taking an active interest in it, and sound planning would favor the setting aside of a large area of not less than twenty acres, so that future new industries could be concentrated in one section, LJ] LJ * w This plan has many advantages, It means that industries will not be scattered here and there through residential districts, but will be in a well-defined arca, It means, too, that those essential services for in- dustries, can be established in one central location to serve a number of industries, instead of having to be scattered to a number of different points in the city, LJ LJ L LJ The question of services brings up other points, The expense of installing sewer and water services is a factor worthy of consideration, and the area which has these services within casy reach, so that their extension will not be a costly proposition, should naturally have the preference. Attention should also be given to the progimity of the railway or street railway lines, so that switching will not be too burden. some, » 1) . * These are among the factors which the city council will have to consider, and weigh carefully in making its decision, Perhaps it would be well, if it has not already been dome, for the whole council to make a tour of the city, and inspect all the possible loca~ tions of industrial sites, so that, before the matter is discussed at all, they will have in their minds the picture of how each location measures up to the re- quirements of a growing and progressive city, x x It must be remembered, of course, that it is neces sary for two-thirds of the council to vote favorably on the matter before any industrial lands can be acquired by the city, and for this reason it is all the more essential that the whole aspect of the subject should be thoroughly studied before the matter goes te, up for a vote SR. a ' By their verdict on the industrial sites bylaw, the ratepayers of Oshawa showed that they are in earn- est in this matter of industrial development, and they give the city council a lead which that body would bu very unwise to reject, OSHAWA'S HARBOR It is more than likely that City Engineer Smith | speaks with some assurance when he says that there a is every likelihood that the harbor at Oshawa will be ready for shipping before this fall as a result of $50,000 being passed for harbor improvements. With his knowledge of the workings of the depart. ment of public works, he is in a good position to pre- dict just what is likely to happen, and the citi- zens of Oshawa will have every reason to feel sat- isfied if his prophecy comes true, His view is that the department will spend the vote of $50,000 in dredging a channel, sixty or seventy feet wide, to the present breakwater and wharf, If this is the intention of the government, it is to be hoped that the engineers in charge will see the wise dom of making that channel sufficiently deep to ac- this purpose, it vessels, able to carry considerable cargoes, can make Oshawa a port of regular call. This, of course, is in the hands of the government engineers, but since it is likely that local officials will be consulted be- fore the work is started, it is a point which is well worth keeping in mi Cn ------ ---------- THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, JUNE 22, 1929 GOD BLESS THE PRINCE OF WALES Tomorrow the world's most beloved prince, the Prince of Wales, will be celebrating his thirty-fifth birthday, and the people of the whole Empire will join in wishing him all the finest wishes that can be uttered on such an occasion, No prince is so well known to the world, no prince has won for him- self so great a place in the esteem and affections of the people of an Empire as has done the Smiling Prince, who is just as truly a Canadian as he is 0 son of the Old Land, It is characteristic of the Prince of Wales that he does not belong specifically to Great Britain, He is claimed by the whole Empire, for he is known in South Africa, in Australia and New Zealand, in India, in the darknesses of tropical Africa, just as well as he is in this Dominion, His travels have taken him to every corner of the world, and, in spite of the fact that he is but thirty-five years old, he has crowded into these years of life an experience which cannot be duplicated by any other living man, The people's prince means much to the Empire, for he is truly an Ambassador of goodwill through- out the Empire, For this reason, hundreds of mill- ions of people will tomorrow be remembering him, will be recalling his visits to them, and will be ex- tending to him, in thought if not in word and in deed, many happy returns of the day. THE CIRCUS COMES TO TOWN It'is a great day when the circus comes to town, What man or woman is there who cannot recall his or her own childhood days, when the greatest thrills in life came from watching the magnificent parades of clowns, wild animals and splendid horses with their daring riders? It was a day in a lifetime to be taken to see the circus, and once it was an- nounced, the time scemed to drag heavily until it actually came, Human nature has not changed greatly in that respect, and today the young and old folks of Osh awa alike are thrilling to the visit of the circus, The old folks can think of their younger days, and feel the urge to be there, and the kiddies are just the same as they used to be, and are as eager as were the young folk of past generations to see the big parade and to enter within the portals of the big top. . And it is just as well that folks can take the time to indulge once in a while in the frivolities of a cir- cus, Life is a deadly serious business with most people in these modern days, and anything which will take people away from life, which will make them forget the cares and trials of everyday chores, serves a useful purpose. It has been said that if men did not take recreation, but stuck constantly fo their business, with no other interests in life, they would quickly land in the asylum, So perhaps the circus has been allowed to survive the inroads of modern business just for the purpose of keeping these insti- tutions from getting overcrowded, AN UNHEEDED WARNING Some astounding 'evidence was given at the inquest into the Cleveland Clinic Hospital tragedy about a month ago, The remarkable fact was brought to light that a month before the disaster occurred, the Fire Underwriters' Investigation Service sent a warn- ing to the Clinic, calling attention to the dangerous fire hasard which existed in the type of film used in the Clinic, and urged the use of another kind. No amount of criticism, of course, will bring back to life those who were killed in the disaster, but there is a deadly parallel in the situation disclosed by the inquest. There was one of the outstanding surgical Clinics in the country, Its doctors were men of skill in their own profession, but their success depended on the extent to which patients carried out their instructions, It is notorious, of course, that many people fail to obey their physicians' orders to the extent which is desirable for safety, and this is one of the chief regrets of medical men, , Yet there we have medical men of high skill and genius being guilty of a similar error. They had re- ceived the warning, they had been told how to avoid the danger of fire, but they, according to the evi- dence, ignored the advice of the Fire Underwriters, who in their own particular sphere, were acting in the role of doctors in a dangerous situation, Surely someone blundered in ignoring of these instructions, and as a result, 123 persons lost their lives, Under these circumstances, it is rather difficult to fathom the attitude of the coroner in making no attempt to fix the blame for the disaster, Between the time of the warning, on April 2, and the explo- sion, on May 15, about six weeks elapsed, six weeks during which there was definite knowledge on the part of some person or persons connected with the Clinic that a fire menace was being harbored there. If there were no responsibility resting on some one's shoulders in a situation of that kind, then the word carries no real meaning, ' EDITORIAL NOTES Sunday, if it is warm, would be a good day for the city council to find out the necessity for widening the road leading to the lake, Oshawa is not so badly inoculated with industrial ism that it cannot stand still for a few minutes to enjoy an old-fashioned circus parade. "Where do all the burst tires go," asks a contemp- orary, It is sure that they do not go where most of the motorists who own them would like to send them, A bomb. thrown into the office of a weekly news- paper failed to awaken the editor, who was asleep in his office. How we sometimes envy him his oppor- tunity, Oshawa may be the Motor City, but the horses from the Parkwood stables are demonstrating to Can ada that automobiles are not completely side tracking the noble animals in this community, There is something fitting about the way in which the Canadian Legion is caring for the Garden of the Unforgotten, The veterans is one body of citizeny who will never forget, The militia regiments might be helped by a little of the cure proposed for opposition to the cadet move- ment, that is, a return to the more colprful uniforms which used to adorn the militiamen of pre-war days. The Oshawa Rotary Club has chosen a good pre- sident in George Hart, President Conant is a hard man for anyone to follow in office, but the new pre. sident has all the qualities that make for success in an offige of that kind, te we ee EL Sa a Other Editor's Comments CANADIAN NEWSPRINT : (Sl ooke Tribune) With its innumerable huge news- papers, the United States necessarily on Canada for its supplics of newsprint, Some fine day it may run short of this, and there will im- mediately be a tremendous outcry in the American Fagin Does Mr, Hoov~ er, who, by his tariff policy, is wag~ ing merciless war on Canadian pro- ducts, pay enough attention to the comparative poverty of his country in the matter of newsprint?

Those of Ontario ve been t with Ontario money, It is the same in Nova Scotia, New 'Brunswick and Prince Edward Is- land, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta have spent comparatively lite tle on modern roads, If we were to build a transcontinental highway, that part of it which traversed Ontario and Quebec would be found to have been already built, The western por- tion would remain, and Quebec, On- tario and the Maritime Provinces would have to contribute to this, PUBLIC HEALTH (La Presse) It is in the public interest that sanitary units should be properly con- stituted and should have permanent medical officers directing them, who are paid respectable salaries, Without this condition it is hopeless to ex- pect an improvement in the public ealth and a decrease in the preval- ence of disease, It is certainly better to group together several little sani- tary units which are insufficiently or- ganized, through lack of funds, and thus to turn them into organizations of the first class, This is the policy followed in Britain and the United States, EN - Bits of Humor - EASILY DONE Little Simpson----He called me a lar, and, big as he was, I knocked him sprawling, Wife--~With your fist?

The day after he went north Am- bassador Dawes arrived in London to take over, his new job, Two days later he presented his creden~ tials to King George at Windsor, and a few hours later he was in the train bound for Forres, a small town near Lossiemouth to talk things over with the Premier, Ten days of whirlwind happen- ings in the field of statesmanship and diplomacy, Truly the world moves fast nowadays, and however leisurely and formal and precise the arts of statesmanship may have operated in the past, they are step ping lively today so far as Briulsn and United States' representatives are concerned, It has been the avowed declara- tion of Premier MacDonald that the naval question is, next to unem- ployment, the most serious subject that the British people have to face. J, H, Thomas is charged with the unemployed problem, ana while he is scratching his head and wondering what he will do with his opportunity, the Premier is losing no time in the other mat. ter of vital international policy. Foreign affairs have always in- terested Premier MacDonald, and no aspect of foreign affairs has concerned him so much as Anglo- American relations, He believes, as 80 many people believe, that co. operation. and harmony between the English speaking people of the world is the greatest instrument of world peace that can be fash. foned, And if Ramsay MacDonald takes a leading part in the fashioning of that instrument, Ramsay MacDon- ald will go down to posterity as a great British statesman, But it is not self-aggrandisement that impels him to take this step. He feels that Anglo-American am- ity is the most urgent task of state- craft. Suspicion and jealousy must be swept away, The chief difference of view be- tween the representatives of the two nations is that relating to na. val strength. It is quite probable that neither the men who repre- sented the United States nor Great Britain at the Geneva conference represented the views of the na- tions as a whole. Each represent. By James W. Barton, M.D. MAKING AN EXPLORATORY INCISION One of the expressions that is not 80 common now is "exploratory in. cision," Your doctor will tell you that in former years where there was doubt about the cause of an ailment in the abdomen it was considered quite the proper thing to incise, or make an opening into the abdomen, and ex- plore therein, If the ailment was a growth fit could be removed, if an infected ap: pendix it was removed, the gall blad- der could be drained, and other con: ditions were helped. If there was nothing to be found the abdominal wall was repaired, and most of the patients were no worse for the operation, However an operation is always an operation, and if it can be avoided it is a great step forward, It was therefore a great help to physicians and patients when the use of the barium meal and the X. ray made it possible to follow the course of a meal through the stomach and the small and large intestine. Ulcer cancer, and appendix condi. tions were thus located, and helped to confirm the diagunosis previously made by the physician, One of the difoult things was to try and show up ailments of the gall bladder and it was not until Dr, E, A, Graham and his associates, by the use of a dye, made this possible, and there was really any certainty as to the presence of gall bladder conditions, Formerly there were needless op- erations performed and cases where operations should have been per formed and were not. Now Dr, Graham points out that death has not followed the use of properly performed injection of dye into the veins in his experience with about 15,000 cases. When we remember that this test has proven correct in from 97 to 98 per cent, of all cases, and that these thousands of individuals have been spared an "exploratory incision or operation" and that Dr, Graham's ex perience is that of his own or refer red cases, should as a people be grateful to Dr, Graham for his achievement, However Dr, Graham is just one of thousands of research men who are in work 'for humanity (Registered in accordance throughout the world, with the Copyright Act), " ed the naval parties of thelr re spective countries, and naval men are notoriously unwilling to pare down the force which they com- mand, Had the Geneva delegates been composed of fewer admiralty officials on both sides, failure might not have been written across the ; result, There are two ways of handling the naval question, One is for the two nations to go thelr own ways and build the ships they deem nec- essary for the protection of their trade routes and for national safe- ty, without regard to what the other does, basing that policy on the unshakable belief that those two navies, if they are ever in ac- tion together will be side by side in a great cause and mot against each other; and the other policy is to mutually agree upon the reduc- tion of both navies, based upon that same belief that they will never fight against each other, Thus the same result would be arrived at by different methods, But of the two there is not the slightest doubt that the view en both sides is for the latter plan of mutus! reduction, It would be by far the cheape:, it would eliminate any feelings of distrust, and it would tend in the direction of inducing other nations to scale down on armmament ex- penditures, The knottiest problem of any such conference is the interpreta. tion of the principle of the free- dom of the seas, On that, Premier MacDonald will go a great awa! further than a Conservative gov- ernment would have done, and al. though Mr, Lloyd George wagged a minatory finger at him a day or two ago and warned him against outrageous legislation, Mr. George is more likely to endorse what Mr, MacDonald does in this respect than to oppose it. In fact the two leaders are virtually agreed on na. val policies, Whatever is the final outcome of the Anglo-U.8, negotiations, what the peoples want to see is a naval agreement that will never bring the two fleets together ex- cept on some such occasion as the Joint enforcement of the Kellogg treaty, in the event of one of the signatories failing to submit {ts case to arbitration without reason- able delay for that purpose. THE PERFECT VACATION Father, mother, the young man and sister, how often do they all Bét away together on a vacation, and even if they do what sort of a JYacation is it for mother?
