PAGE TWENTY ' THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 26, 1929 Midsummer olidays Can Best Be Enjoyed by Careful Planning ENGEISH FAMILY CLIMBS T0 SUCCESS ~ INTHIS COUNTRY A Story of a Yorkshireman 'and His Family Who Made Good f ee ara-- Henry Loten was in business as a plumber and sanitary engineer in a town an Yorkshire, England, ig to 1928. He was very comfortable, too, as 'business goes in such a line in the' old land, There was no particu- lar reason why he should pick up and come to Canada as a farm settler till one day he discovered that his eldest son, whom he apprenticed to his business, had not the least desire to carry. on in that life, but felt the lure of far-away parts of the empire. His two younger sons were of the same mind, Then Mr, Loten made a wise decision, helped by a little item he saw in' the newspapers one day about fanily settlement in Canada, His decision was prarctically this, "If my boys want to go abroad and shift for themselves, Canada looks like the place, and there is no reason why [ should not go, too, and help them get the start, In fact, there is every good reason why I should," He im- mediately made application for him- | self and his family to come out un- der the family settlement scheme, His friends tried to dissuade him with Imaginary tales of terrible suffering fn the Canadian wilds, But fortun- ately this did not deter him, One night in the spring of 1925 he landed with his family in the district where his new farm home was to be, And here he tells about a little incident that is typical of Western Canadian warm-hearted friendliness which does so much to off-set the homesickness which most certainly attacks the fam- ily who has come to the new land where everything is strange to them, One of his neighbours took him and the family+in for the night. In his own words, Mr, Loten tells of it, "Never," he says, "was the warmth and comfort of a house and the feel of a real bed so welcome as on the first night we spent on the Canadian prairie, We all felt that we had in- deed found real friendship in this new country, an opinion which we still cherish." Mr. Loten and his family set in at once to build up the new home on (| the farm on which he found himself placed, There were struggles, of course, and some disappointments. But he has won through, as all will who have the spirit for the task, This year he is putting in 300 acres of wheat and 200 of oats, and feels that at last he is on the way to prosperity, "We have conquered ithe prairie to the last foot of our boundaies," he says, and also comments, "The small measure of success which we have al- ready attained I attribute to the will- ingness of every member of the fam- ily to do whatever work fell to their lot, whether at home or working out, and to their ability to keep a smiling face in spite of disappointments" | Mr, Loten tells of his experiences In a recent letter published in the Saskatoon Star, as onc of a series of such letters published by that paper.

'It always has tapered!" laconically declared the general sales manager of a company that tarns out one of the very popular lower-priced cars, in speaking of the current production decline, He, as well as several other officials of the industry visited in De- troit within the last few days, depre- cated the emphasis that had been placed upon the receding output by certain of the nublic prints, "Some of them talk as if it never had happened before," said one ex- ccutive whose statement expressed the consensus of a number of others, "Conservative," however, is the term that best describes the general atti- tude of the executives interviewed to- ward what the last six months 1929 will means to the makers marketers of automobile tributing of and and to con- industries, None of them induced to pose as. prophet, logically - qualified their concerning the ject ly or by |i them statements cither expres | indicating that th many fact which affect the status of the auto motive industry limit the possibilities of accurate, forecasting about it almost to the realm of the inspired or These executives poi d ut now widely-acknowledged nterde pendence of industries, and instances where various econo: influences long range exclusively | 1 the i have been reflected definitely in the automotive field, A 10 per cent lowering of the potential sales vol- ume of a well-known in the higher price class was attributed by the general sales manager to the re- cent stock market sluip resulting from the action of the Federal Re- serve Board, Another general sales manager whose product in the same price class said his sales and order cancellation figures never were cat 1 long in registering a pronounced fall in the stock market. The depression in wheat prices was credited with causing a certain loss in automobile sales, The recent settlement of the repar- ations question in Europe, most of the executives believe, will lessen the financial stringency that has been no- ticeable there, and thereby increase the export sales of automobiles, Fin- ancing of the scttlement, it was said, would stimulate the circulation of money, cultivate public confidence and thus create additional credit, Export sales for the first four months of the year totaled 162,366 cars as against 121,292 for those months in 1928 and 110,710 for that period in 1927. These figures do not include all foreign as- sembly cars, All the executives scen expressed pleasure at the tapering off of car stocks, both new and used, reported since summer weather superseded that of the inclement spring. They did not foresce anything that would in- terfere with the rise of sales figures next fall, Sales for the first five months of 1929 were 42 per cent greater than those tabulated for the same period of the record year of 1928, This un- precedented prosperity, however, that thus far this year has marked the course of the automotive industry has not heen distributed evenly, This is not a phenomenal circumstance, of course, but one that always has char- acterized the flourishing scasons of the industry, This year, manufacturers in the lower price class have fared well with but few exceptions, More unevenness in the prosperity scale is evident in the higher price ranges. Numerically, sales for the first five months of 1929 totaled 1,825,000 cars as compared with the aggregate of 1,280,000 cars for those months in both 1928 and 1927, The total of new car stocks as of June 1 has been estimated on the basis of production and registration figures as around 235.000 more cars than were on hand last Jan, 1, On June 1, 1928, there on hand 150,000 more cars than total stocks of Jan. 1, 1928.

Recently I ran agross an interesting old book called 'The Art of Walking on the Streets of London, According to the title page, it was written by "The late Mr. Gay!

A NEIGHBORLY ACT settlers in Canada's rural areas » neighborly people, and do not itate to do a neighborly act when occasion arises. Recently, in the dis- trict of Viking, oi the CN.R. main I line in Alberta, just cast of Edmon- ton, there was a striking example of this when neighbors collected at the home of Andrew Holland, a farmer of the district, and put in his yearly crop while the owner lay in hospi- tal il. Twenty-three men and 102 horses were commandeered for = the task, plowing, harrowing, idscing and seeding 05 acres in one day, while the womenfolk served the meals. CANADA'S EGG CONSUMPTION The very satisfactory condition in which Canada's egg trade now finds itself is due in a large degree to the standardization of grading throughout Canada, states the 1928 egg report of the Canadian Minister of Agriculture. The effect has been most apparent in the increase in home consumption, Canada leads the world in per capita egg consumption, Ten ycars ago this consumption in Canada and the United States was about equal, but today Canada leads the U.S, by a large margin. Since 1921, the per capita consumption .of egps in Canada has increased from 221 to 29.07. Deaths this year have reduced the number: of titled Canadians to 47, and there are now only five heredi- tary titles in the Dominion, Qur brake-testing service is up-to- ate and we are in a position to ren- der service second to none, no need to be without your car for several days--1let us adjust your brakes on a moment's notice. brakes with an actual police model tester--see the results yourself, ROCERS re Your Brak We test your Brakes made O.K. by Will they stand the Police Test?
