WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 7, 1929 A GREAT DEVELOPMENT The plans of the federal government for the de- velopment of Oshawa harbor, as revealed by Mayor Mitchell at the meeting of the city council last. night, show the importance which the government is ate taching: to this work, They are more ambitious than many of the people of Oshawa cver expected they would be, and show that the government has an abundant faith in the future that is Oshawa's, While it will probably take some ycars before the development, as planned, is completed, there is a promise of great things in the plans which have been made. The diversion of the Oshawa and Harmony Crecks, so as to prevent their waters draining through the present marsh land into the harbor, and the filling in of the swamp arca north of the lake shore surrounding the harbor area, arc parts of a large scheme of development. One had only to look ahead to what will be the situation when the work is com- pleted to realize what it means, * * Ld * In the first place, the filling in of the swamp by the use of the material dredged from the harbor channel will do for Oshawa what the reclaiming of lake shore lands has done for Toronto. It will pro- vide a vast area of industrial sites to be had by the 'city. almost for the asking. These industrial sites, served by both railway switch and harbor fa- cilities, will be of great value to the city, and will ' attract to Oshawa types of industrics which are not as yet located here, # x * * * One would wish, perhaps, that the proposed har- bor basin were to be somewhat larger, so that the largest of lake boats could come in here. And one might also express the wish that the channel which is'to be dredged were to be made twenty-six feet deep, instead of fifteen, for the same reason. Yet a harbor which will accommodate boats up. to four hundred feet long is no small undertaking, and when one considers that it is but the beginning, and that further developments might quite logically be ex- pected when the progress of the city warrants them, the people of Oshawa ought to fecl satisfied, » » » . There is the further thought, in this harbor area development, of Oshawa's future airport; The city farm land, adjacent to the harbor area, has decided possibilities in this respect. In fact, it is quite pos- sible that this land could be transformed into-an airport at a small cost. Bevond the city farm lies the new industrial area on Simcoe Street south, with the possibility of a new strect connecting it with the city farm. Thus the whole plan is exactly as it was outlined in these columns a few weeks ago, a great development scheme which will take years to complete but which is, thanks To the action of the city council, the chamber of com- merce and the federal government, past the specula- tion stage and already in the making. LJ » . This development scheme is of importance to Oshawa. Since diversification of industry is the great need of the city, the harbor area scheme offers an opportunity for this. What is needed more than any- thing elsc is an adequate vision of what all of this means to the future. The city necds at the helm men with that vision, men who will not falter when difficultics appear in the way, but who will face them with courage and with a determination to measure up to the requirements of a city. the future of which can be even greater than the immediate past his been, "THE WORK OF HORTICULTURAL SEEN SOCIETIES - - ¥ A i fan article from the pen of Henry J. Moore, the noted Ontario horticulturist, on the work of the Ontario 0 | Horticultural 'Society, which is a body made up of | horticultural societies from all over the province. * 'his article shows the wide scope of the work that these societies, With their 50,000 members, are do- 'ing in home.and civic beautification. The fact that '345 "new societies have been added in the last five years, and that these ardent horticulturists, through - {h@ir 'organizations, are spending 200,000 a year on the beautification of their communities, is an indi- "cation of the spread of the movement. "The Horticultural society movement has taken 'such a hold in Ontario: that there is now scarcely a village, 10Wn_@r gity in the province that is not organized in this way, It seems more than' strange that the city of Oshawa should - be - the one out: standing exception. That this city, with a pepula- tion of over 25,000 people, has, apparently, neither the time nor the inclination for any organized ef- fort at civic beautification is hardly to its credit. Barly in the spring The Times urged that steps should bo taken to have a society form here, Cer- tain steps were taken that looked promising, but the idea fell through simply because there were no Sg In today's issue of The" Times there appears - at six years and nine months. a citizens who felt inclined to take the leadership. ° The 1929 spring and summer season has thus passed without anything tangible being done, but there is yet time to have something done in the matter be- fore fall, so that a beginning can be made in the hope of some definite activity being undertaken be- fore another summer rolls around, = The appeal of the Oshawa Red Cross 'Society for . an additional sum of $400 to finance the work at the | Red Cross Cottage for the balance of the present "scason should not go unheeded by the' people of Oshawa. The work being done at the cottage on. One has' only; the lakeshore is a wonderful work, to visit the cottage, to see the little mites of human- ity who are being nurtured back to health and strength there, to realize the full/value of what is being done, For the last few years, hundreds of children have found new health' and vigor as the result of periods spent at the Red Cross Cottage. This year, the numbers are larger than ever, and the needs of the society greater than ever, It would be unfortunate if the burden of the care of these children should have to be borne by the two or three faithful workers who have kept the Red Cross flag flying. Four hundred dollars is not much to ask of the citizens of Oshawa, and The Times commends this cause to the generous con- sideration of those who have the means and the dis- position to put their hands down into their pockets and give in sufficient liberality to ensure that the whole balance will quickly be provided. MUCH BETTER The civic holiday weekend was surprisingly free from fatal accidents, either from automobile mishaps or from drowdiing. Indeed, it is many weeks since the newspapers have been unable, as they were on Mon- day and Tuesday, to feature the weekend list of fatalities with big headlines on their front pages. There may be more than one reason for this. Some newspapers have already commented that the cool weather during the weckend had much to do with it, since it kept many people off the water, There may be something in this, although one would like to believe that the great reduction in accidents was due to greater care and caution, rather than to any- thing else. So far as highway fatalities are concerned, therc is reason for the hope that the small total was duc to the better driving habits of motorists. There was just as much traffic on thc highways as on former weckends, so that the 'opportunity for accident was there, so that adds color to the belief that greater care may have had something to do with the im- proved situation, Like all other newspapers, The Times hopes that the improvement is not merely a passing phase, but that it will continue until such time as the news- paper pages on Monday mornings are entirely free from reports of fatal accidents, AN INTERESTING EXPERIMENT An interesting experiment is. being given a trial at the Kingston Collegiate Institute. In future, or for . a time, at least, the girls there will appear in an uni- form dress. An announcement from the secretary of the board of education of Kingston, outlines the na- ture of uniform to be worn; and gives a picture of a girl student wearing the uniform garb, It consists of a navy blue serge dress of the sleeveless type, worn over a blouse of white, and the announcement adds that the color of hose, shoes and tie to be worn will be decided by the girls, early in the fall session, by popular vote. Students are urged to wear their uni- forms as carly in the scssion.as possible. Many other' communities will. watch with. interest the result of this experiment. It has its merits, since it puts all girls on a level, and dges pot permit those which come from the wealthier type of homes making a display of their wealth which sometimes has a bad effect on their fellow-students. Jt may last for some time, but it is doubtful if it will become a permanent innovation. There is too much of a desire for -in- dividuality in the minds of the young women and girls of today to allow it to be repressed indefinitely. When the novelty of the thing wears off, then it will not be long before a few girls disregard the custom, and that will be the beginning of the end. Of course, that estimate of the outcome of the ex periment may be all wrong, but unless there is a radical change in feminine nature along with the adop- tion of the experimental garb, we cannot see how it wlli ever become: more than an experiment, At any rate, it will be interesting to watch for the outcome.

It takes its cue from a number of applications for positions on ts staff recently received - from dwellers in ope of these large centres. Quotations from the letters are given all gous to show that the chief cause of complaint is the specialization thac predominates in all activities. There are too few ' opportunities for advancement while life's sur- roundings are not the best.

Barton, M.D. MEDICINE AND DENTISTRY One of the encouraging signs in medicine is to see (he dental and medical students taking many of their lectures together, Awatomy, that is the structure of the body; physiology, that is the way the processes in the body work together; pathology the way the processes of the body work in ill health; chemistry; physics; hygiene, I believe you'll agree that the day is not far distant when the dentist will be required to take the full medical course first and then take up the care of the mouth and teeth afterwards, And when you think of the im- portance of the mouth and teeth to the entire body you can see the reason for this, The shapd of the mouth and the condition of the teeth depend to a great cxtent upon the gland system of the body, Good grinding teeth break up the food stuffs, and make them soft and render them alkaline so that they will force the stomach to pour out a goodly supply of acid stomach juice to overcome this alkaline juice, and by so doing digest the food well. . This breaking up of the food stuffs in the mouth prevents the distress and pain of gas formation further down the intestinal tract. The dentist should know the differ- ent good stuffs and food values; the cffects' of ill balanced diets. Then the infection that attacks the roots of the teeth and the gums is without doubt the biggest factor in causing rheumatism and heart dis- case. In the old days when aching teeth were extracted there were fewer cases of heart discase. In our natural desire to preserve our teeth, instead of using artificial ones, we have been led into the mistake of keeping in- fected teeth. The dentist with a full medical education will be the first one to see that this mistake is rectified. While he will try to render infect- ed teeth safe, he will be more in: clined to extract them as he thinks of the terrible possibilities of infec- tion upon the system, It. should be a source of satisfac- tion to everybody to sec these two associated professions getting closer together, (Registered in accordance with the Copyright Act). again."

MOORE The Ontario Horticultural assochi- tion is an organization of some &0,- 000 members. Its affiliated. societies number 300. These: societies. are or- ganized in cities, towns, villages and townships and operate under, the hor- ticultural socicties act of the province. An amateur organization, it is prob- ably the largest of its kind in. the world, Backed by the government, which annually grants $20,000, and spends varying amounts. in supply- ing lecturers' services amounting to perhaps another $5,000. The organi- zation has for its main object the dissemination of horticultural know: ledge. with a view to making beauti- ful the home surroundings and, the municipalities of the province, A su- perintgndent is appointed and salary paid by the government and every year a-convention is held in Toronto with as many as 000 delegates in at- tendance, In all, the department of agriculture under which the Horti- cultural association functions, pays out annually some $30,000 in its in. terests, ganize, a membership of 25 is neces- The membership fee to the socie~ ties is $1.

In the larger centres of population one or more societies may organize as, for instance, in the city of Toronto there are some ten socicties with member- ships varying from 1,000-down to per» haps 200, while in some of the small~ er cities such as Stratford, St. Tho- mas and Ottawa and where only oie society functions, memberships as high as 3,000 are known, and seve eral have over 2,000 members, It is safe to say that in five to ten years the town or village in Ontario which has not a society will be an out- standing exception to the rule, as in the last five years at least 145 so- cicites have organized and affiliated with the association, making the to- tal as forementioned. ome Beautifying Interested in the growing of per- ennial flowers and shrubs the sur- rounding of the members' homes arc becoming permanently beautified as these are being largely planted, An- nuals and specialties such as glad- joli, paeonies, dahlias, iris and ro- ses are also grown not only for gare den embellishment but for exhibition purposes with the result that exhibi- tions arc held in nearly cvery muni. cipality, chiefly during August and carly September, these proving of the greatest value educationally, Other than Ontario only two of the Canadian provinces have such an or» ganization, but cfforts are now being made to organize the societies into provincial associations, It is true that throughout the dominion are various commercial bodies and here and there societies which specialize in some branch of horticulture, which have affiliated with the Canadian horticul- tural council, but amateur horticul- ture outside of Ontario has not been fully organized. This important work. is now, however, proceeding and in due course all provincial associations will join the council to make it fully representative' as a national institu- tion, 80,000 Members It is estimated that in Ontario the 80,000 members of the association spend $200,000 annually on flower seeds, bulbs, perennials and shrubs. This largely as a result of lectures given in the various. municipalitics, Each year some 300 meetings of this nature are held, During the spring and summer months practical de- monstrations on garden practice such as planting, pruning, control of ine sects and fungi, arrangement of plants, and propagation, are given in a number of gardens in different parts of the province and at which as many as 100 members have attend- ed. These demonstrations arc an in- novation of recent years. Moral Influence Throughout the province, garden competitions are held by many . of the horticultural socicties and troph- ies such as cups valued at from $25 to perhaps $75 are offered as prizes. These competitions have done much to stimulate interest in the work, the result being noticeable. in the improv- cd home surroundings almost every- where, Fostered by the societies and under their jurisdiction, juvenile gar- den competitions are arranged and exhibitions held during the autumn, The size of the children's garden is about 10 feet by five feet, and - in these six varicties of the most popu- lar annuals arc grown. After the gar. dens are inspected and prizes award. cd the flowers ate cut and exhibited by the child, The competitions thus serve a dual purpose. Apart from their value in encourg- ing the culture and love of flowers among juveniles, the have proyen a vast moral influence, Where in the past children have been | taken to the juvenile court for steal- ing flowers and other violations of the law, they are now planting the beau- tiful garden subjects and as a result of this training of their minds into proper channels and the using of their energies along constructive lines in many centres juvenile court cases are unknown, % In the suppression of vice and of crime along the activitics of the On- tario Horticultural association are tg be commended. Thousands of dollars are yearly being saved to the people and government by the simple pro- cess of finding'work for the children and keeping them out of the correc. tive institutions, and through the sup. pression of adult and juvenile crime, Let me instance:--In a certain town lived a young man who was noted for his gambling propensities and had wrecked the family relations to a point where separation between man and wife was inevitable and blows had even been exchanged.' More by force of circumstances than design this man in passing through the rear of a lecture room, was arrested by the pictures of lovely roses on the {Jif - screen and stayed to hear the lees ture.

"This has developed into the big- gest joke that bas come before the council in years," declared Alder- man R. D. Preston. "And you have been the biggest clown in the play," said Alderman Carnell. Strong Objection Alderman. Preston also declared that the 40-foot building line re- striction should not be placea on the property. He objected strenuously to items and editorials which bad appeared in The Oshawa Daily Times, declar- ing that this newspaper was try- ing to "dictate" to the council. The council would be wise to drop the whole deal, and not go ahead with: an industrial area at all, he said, The council was on the wrong track, he declared. 'Mr. Conant should not have put up a proposi- tion for the council to buy this lgnd when he knew it was distinctly against the law," be declared. Some of the "big" ratepayers had opposed the purchase of this indus. trial area, he said. "The bill 'does not say a word about restrictions on any land pur- chased," declared Mayor: Mitchell, Perfectly Legal "The city solicitor has said it is perfectly legal," said Alderman Carnell. Alderman McLeese said that Do matter what effort was made to se- cure industries, 'the same crowd always takes the floor to block it." At the present time the city had no- thing to offer, and while the coun- ell was dilly,dallying about this in- dustrial area, one healthy little in- dustry slipped through Oshawa's hands and went to another city. "There is a lot of personal inter- est, and the whole question among members of the council seems to be, who is going to get the win- nings out of it," he declared. If the area were to be placed in the north' end of the city, no doubt all. the aldermen who opposed it, who lived in the north end of the city, would support it, he declared. The opposition had not made any constructive suggestions, he declar- ed. Alderman Morris declared he re- sented Alderman McLeese's re- marks, and said that the reasn Oshawa lost the industry was be- cause new capital from Toronto had been put into the firm, which had then gone to Toronto. Favors Smaller Area Alderman Preston declared that he favored buying 10 acres of Mr. Conant's land without any restric- tions, and also buying an area in the north-east section of the city. "The people supported the ac- quisition of land for industria: pur- poses and told us to go ahead," de- clared Alderman Carnell. The plac- ing of a building line was the only sane provision for development of the industrial area. "It is a wise provision and a perfectly legal one," he declared. It took a long time to expropri- ate land, "and while we are dilly- dallying with expropriations, we are filling up the industrial devel- opment of cities to the east and west," he said. : People Expect Action The people were looking for the council to do something, declared Mayor Mitchell. Meeting the com- mittee of the whole, all of the 'members exeept Alderman: Preston supported the by-law, Alderman Mason and Morris being absent, he said. "The city solicitor has ruled, .. -- by letter, that it is right and pros per for us to pass this by-law. want to absolutely. contradict' the statement that the Industriel Sites Act prevents the city buying land' 'with restrictions on it, for this is not the cage. No prominent citizen, nor any other citizen, has ever told me that the council would make a mistake in buying the Conant pro.' perty. 1 believe the by-law should carry," he declared. There was one. ery rising from the people, and that was for new industries, and the Conant property was the most logical location for industries, said the Mayor. P '"The Daily Times Js running this whole agreement," declared Alder- man Preston. Alderman Preston then carried on a cross fire of ar- gument with almost every other member of the council, declaring that Alderman Perry could "yse the hinges on the door" if he op- posed his ideas and firing remarks of all descriptions at Chairman Hart and many other aldermen. It was entirely out of order for Mr. Conant to remove the restrictions when, selling his own land was his contention, "I think that the city solicitor 'is wrong in saying the agreement is all right," Jackson, Alderman Carnell: "Are you a lawyer?" Alderman 8. Jackson: "No, but I have common sense, and that is more than mest lawyers have." Aldermen Reproved" Alderman Hart reproved the al- dermen for talking all around the point. "No alderman bas said that this area is not the best in the city for the purpose; none has said the price isn't right. We have already lost" an industry, because the firm was provided with a factory in To- ronto, while the hands of the Ine dustrial Foundation, Ltd., of Osh- awa were tied," he declared. This effectively cooled off the discussion, Aldermen Carnell and Perry moved that the new agreement of August 6 be adopted, and that a by- law be presented to the councy yn. corporating the agreement, This passed, 'Aldermen E. Jackson, R, McDonald, P. A, Macdonald, Hart, Boddy, McLeese, Harman, Perry, Disney, Douglas, S, Jackson and Carnell supporting it and Aldermen Mason, Morris and Preston oppos- ing it. Since a technical difficulty devel- oped in the dating of the by-law, the council decided to lay the ques tion over until the next meeting, so that a new by-law could be prepar~ ed, with slight revisions. A motion of Aldermen Preston and Mason that 10 acres of the Co- nant area be purchased and that steps be taken to secure other areas, was lost, only the mover and seconder supporting it. * . p-- JY IN A GARDEN Nearly a mile of garden walk Black with cinders and edged ' with rocks, y Little islands of shrubs and flowe sald Alderman 5, - ers.-- .
