New York and Chicago. - MONDAY, AUGUST 26, 1929 .. THE OSHAWA INDUSTRIAL pa THE OO NDATION On Saturday, The Times published an article re- fating to the efforts of the Oshawa Industrial Founda~ tion, Limited, to secure the necessary capital to go ahead with its aims of helping to secure new indus- tries for Oshawa by providing buildings, on the city s industrial area, which could be rented or sold to in- dustries desirous of locating here. Before the com- pany can begin to function, it is stated by those at the head of it, a sum of $100,000 in capital is re- quired. Of that amount, a group of public-spirited citizens has already given pledges for $56,000, leaving a balance of $44,000 to be subscribed before Septem- ber 30, which is the closing date set for subscrip- tions, There should be no misunderstanding the purposes of this company. The men behind it are not going into the project with any hope of making a lot of money. Their sole idea is that of helping Oshawa to develop industrially. They have seen industries lost to this city because of the lack of buildings in which they could locate, and because of the lack of an in- dustrial area on which to erect buildings. The latter question has been solved by the purchase of a block of property on Simcoe street south. The former, however, is still as it was, and it is this con- dition that the Oshawa Industrial Foundation, Limit- ed, seeks to remedy. Its aim is to erect buildings which can be leased, with the option to purchase, to firms which are willing to locate in this city. They may be small concerns, but with prospects of fu- ture growth, and that is a type of industry that is highly desirable in Oshawa. The city is fortunate in having in 'its citizenship men who have sufficient faith in its future to sub- scribe the first $36,000. They are deserving of the thanks of the rank and file of the community for the public spirit they have shown in the matter for the work of this company will be a definite work of public service. But more of them are needed. The remaining $44,000 must be subscribed to send the company off to a proper start with its worthy task. Surely the men of Oshawa who have money for in- vestment will come to the support of those who have already signified their willingness to help with this important financing, and will do their part to bring the total up to $100,000 before the time limit has ex- pired, . BUSINESS SCOUTS FOR CANADA From time to time one reads in the newspaper columns something of the activities of those whe are known as Canadian trade commissioners in other countries. These men, really ambassadors of trade, pay periodical visits to this country, and invariably touch the most important industrial centres to con- fer with leading exporters as to the requirement of trade in the countries in which they represent Can- ada. ® On these occasions, they usually find an op- portunity to tell the people something of what they are doing, but yet little is really known of the work which they are carrying on for the benefit-of Canada. 1t is largely with the object of overcoming this public ignorance regarding a public service that the department of trade and commerce at Ottawa is in- serting large advertisements in the leading daily newspapers, devoted to telling the story of the ac- tivities of these business scouts of the nation. These business scouts, thirty-two of them, are lo- cated in twenty-six different countries. In these countries, they serve as direct contacts between the industries at home and the markets in foreign lands. And, as a sign of the success of their endeavors, the export trade of Canada to these countries has in- creased from $388,793,000 in 1922 to $812,110,000 in the fiscal year ending March 31, 192), a gain of 108.8 per cent. This is a remarkable showing, and it is responsible for the fact that Canada, although possessing only about one per cent. of the world's population, stands fifth in the list of nations in its volume of export trade. Canada's export trade means much to this coun fry. It is on its development that Canada must de- pend for increased industrial activity and expansion. Markets for Canadian goods are being found all over the world, and this work of finding new markets must be continued with redoubled energy. Canada's prosperity ie linked up with its trade beyond the seven seas, and in promoting that prosperity these business scouts play an important part, and a part in which they can be greatly assisted by the close co-operation 'of those men in industrial business who are really anxious to develop trade outside the ~oundaries 'of Canada. HOW PUBLIE€ OPINION CHANGES ! Yast April, during the budget debates in the House of Commons, prior to the general election, the Rt, Hon. Philip Snowden, then sitting in the ranks of the ' - opposition, created quite a sensation by 'making an attack on the debt and reparations settlements which had 'been made by the Baldwin government. He was quite frank and blunt in. his assertions' that these scttlements were unfair to Britain, and should be changed. 1 , For that speech, he was subjected to considerable hostile criticism, Critics of both the opposing shades of political opinion denounced him 4% one who would barter the honor of Great Britain, and 'the profess- ed to be "greatly shocked by his attitude. But he stuck to his guns, enunciated the same principles dur- ing the election campaign, and earned for himself re- bukes wherever he went, Then the Labor government was elected to power and Snowden became chancellor of the exchequer. He was not long in showing that his was no vaccilat- ing mind, to be blown hither and thither by the winds of success or failure. He at once set to work to put at least part of his policies into effect, and the first practical step was his now famous declaration at The Hague that Britain must have a square deal in the debt and reparations settlements. : But while Snowden did not change, public opinion did. He is now being hailed as a hero in Britain be- cause he is trying to give effect to the principles which, a few short months ago, were being condemn- ed as un-British. It is a great victory for Snowden, and it also helps to show how fickle a thing is public opinion, THE NEWSPAPER'S RESPONSIBILITY A survey by a newspaper in Chicago has brought to light the information that seventy-five per cent. of the people read nothing but newspapers. This, of course, applies to the United States, where the average of those who read nothing else but news- papers may be a little higher than elsewhere, yet human nature is largely the same the world over, and the average would not be greatly different in this country. If this survey can be taken as accurate, it indieates the great responsibility which rests upon the should- ers of those who are entrusted with the making of newspapers. The influence on life and conduct of those whose sole reading is found in their news- papers must be tremendous, for it is usual to find people of that type more easily influenced than those who indulge. in a wider range of reading. The se- lection of reading matter for this great mass of the public, therefore, becomes a task of considerable re- sponsibility, and one which is not lightly regarded within the newspaper profession. Those who regularly make a study of the news: papers of Canada, however, cannot but come to the conclusion that the people of this country are being well served in the matter of newspaper reading. There has, for many years past, been a great im- provement in the general trend of what the news. papers publish, both in quantity and in suitability for general reading. This improvement is continuing and will continue, for the newspaper profession is one in which there can be no stagnation, no resting on past laurels, no halting in the march of progress. GENERATING HOT AIR Engineers at. Washington are taking steps to mea- sure how much hot air is generated in the sena(p chamber in the United States capitol while the sen- ate session is sitting. This may not, of course, be intended as uncomplimentary to the worthy sena- tors, but before the test is over, it may develop in that way. It has been observed that when the sen- ate is not sitting, the temperature of the chamber is markedly lower, the difference being fixed at be- tween seven and eight degrees. Surely a body like the United States senate, judg- ing from the reports of some of its debates, can do better than that. Why, at times we read of the "electric atmosphere in the senate," of the senate peing "roused to fever heat" while' some important subject is being discussed. And to tell these vener- able gentlemen that their efforts, in addition to their physical presence, can only raise the temperature by seven or eight degrees, is hardly complimentary. Why, even with its air of solemn slumber, we would back the Canadian senate to do better than that. ONE GOOD CROP 1t is gratifying to note, from reports of the do- minion department of agriculture that at least one crop in Canada, the apple crop, shows signs of break- eng all records. The estimates of this crop show a yield of eleven per cent. over that of last year, and of twenty per cent. more than the average for the last five years. This shows the value to Canada of a diversified type of agriculture. While the wheat crop is down in volume, although not to any great extent in its ultimate cash value, here is another crop which pro- mises to provide a greater exportable surplus than ever before. It should be remembered that the great bulk of Canada's apple crop is exported, for the Ca- nadian people are not heavy apple eaters, so that this increased yield means a greater influx of new wealth from this source than ever before. As days go past, there are abundant signs that the eondition of near-panic which set in after the first reports of the wheat crop failure was premature and unnecessary, and that, on the basis of the many di- versified products of the Canadian farms, Canada will be in just as good a position as in other years as a result of this year's harvest. EDITORIAL NOTES Sometimes a man finds that he cannot make ends meet because they are loose ends, > Very few boys are as bad as the neighbours think, or as good as their parents think. Stefansson, the famous explorer, says there is four per cent. more heat at the north 'pole than at the equator. Still, that does not make either place any more attractive to the average Canadian. The British statesmen visiting Canada are show- ing good sense in not trying to tell Canadians how they should run their affairs. This attitude adds much more weight to what they have to say. St. Catharines is considering a by-law to stop un- necessary noises. We wonder if that by-law will cover the remarks of the St. Catharines editor when Art. Kennedy of the Stratford Beacon-Herald pokes fun at him. In London, England, the police kept the public out of Trafalgar Square while 'the 'Communists were staging a meeting. As a result, the meeting was a complete failure as a demonstration. Might not this plan workout just as well in Queen's Park, Other Editor's Comments ONLY WAY TO ESCAPE (Winnipeg Tribune) Washington has found out that there are enuogh automobiles in the U.S, for the whole population' to take a ride at once--which, by the way, would seem to be about the only way to keep from getting run over. ! MANUFACTURING IN ENGLAND (London Evening News) It is stated by those whose busi- ness 'it is to collect the facts and figures that factory workers in and around London are increasing at the rate of a thousand a week, and that at leact ome factory a week is being built to accommo- date them. In one district there are 111 factories now where but a few years ago there were none, Hayes, Slough, Southall Acton, Brentford, Wembley--the name is legion of the districts that since the end of the war have doubled and treh- led their factories and their work- ing populations, ON WRITING AS A TRADE (Hilaire Belloc in the New States- man, London Belzac said a very true thing when he maintained that the writ- ing man gives more of himself than any other kind of worker. He is the pious pelican; he feeds the brutish populace upon his own flesh. I doubt whether there is any interval more dispiriting than that between the moment when a man sets out in his fatigue to attempt some writing, utterly indisposed as he is, because it is his miserable task, hardly even a duty, certainly not a natural activity, but a bitter, slavish compulsion and that when, perhaps an hour later, he has screwed himself up to the pitch! GOOD-BYE, LEISURE (Fergus News-Record) The other day we read an article which claimed that modern trans- portation had been of no benefit since mankind had less leisure than before. Instead of taking a man where he had to go in less time and thus giving him more to spare at the end of the trip, men are simply going more than ever. If leisure is the chief aim of man, the contention is undoubtedly cor- rect. Nearly all of us who have good health could do with more leisure than we now possess--un- less we happen to be out of work. The trouble is that we do not value leisure highly enpugh to make an effort to secure it, We could have more if we really wanted it. In- stead we prefer to be on the road more of the time, with the mistaken impression that a change is as good as a rest. - Bits of Humor - HE MUST LOVE HER He: Dearest, I must marry you.

Barton, M.D. % THE THROAT AND INTESTINE One of the first lessons we learned as students was that in throat con- ditions, tonsilitis or other conges- tion, that the first thought in treat. ment was not the throat itself but the intestine. Accordingly the patient was given small doses of calomel followed by epsom salts or castor oil. The throat was also sprayed or gargled to give relief, You'll remember that the old time physician always looked at the tongue in any case of sickness and the coated tongue: always called for calomel, salts, or castor oil. Thus it has been truly said that the tongue, and the throat also, are really a sort of mirror of what is taking place in the intestine. And now "an interesting observa- tion has been made by Dr. Armain- gand a physician of the famous min- eral springs of Cauterets (Pyrenes) whose patients are made up solely of patients with chronic inflammaation of the vocal cords, the throat itself, and the nose and sinuses. He has noticed that all these pa- tients have a chronic infection of the intestine, and often also have a liver that does not do its work prop- erly." Many persons on the day follow- ing excessive eating have hoarseness, and inflammation of the nose pas- sages. Physicians in charge of the health departments of large industrial plants have found that there are more "colds" and sore throats after the "Saturday, Sunday, and other holidays than af any other time. They attribute this to overeating, with no work or exercise to use up the excess food eaten. Now this does not mean that cold camp weather, exposure, overwork, overuse of the throat is not to some extent responsible for hoarseness, and other nose and throat conditions, but it does mean that the organisms of an infected intestine do get car- ried up to the mucous membrane or lining of the nose and throat and cause them to become inflamed. Of course the treatment is obvious. It simply means that avoiding over- eating, and seeing that the body gets exercise enough to use up the food. is the best method of keeping nose and throat free from infection.

"Why," say both. of us, "should we go miles and miles and miles to the big city to buy the same standard brands that we can get for the sae price much more comfortably from nice people at home who are as much a part of this community as we are? These people own property, pay tax- es, employ help, support our welfare work and our lodges and churches and civic societics, are members of the Chamber of Commerce and are always seeking to boost our coms munity. Why, then, should we mail a check to a mail order house for something we can't see till we get it, when our own friends can hand us just what we want when we want it?

Mr. Walter Kerr called the gathering to order and expressed the sentiments of those present, and afterward presented Mr. and Mrs. Walker with a case of silver knives and forks and spoons. Although taken by surprise, the newly wedded couple both expressed very feel- ingly their appreciation of the gift and hoped to be of continued ser- vice to the community in which they have settled. Music and games were enjoyed for a time, and the ladies then served tempt- ing refreshments. The happy gath- ering then broke up expressing to the newly weds their good wish- 'es for a long and prosperous jour- ney through life. Rev. Robert Simpson, who is hoiidaying at his summer home in Brooklin, but who is stationed at Woodville Presbyterian church, preached a very Interesting and practical sermon here on Sunday full church, which was very en- couraging for the preacher as well as helpful to all present.

In Itaty, officially, the tip has been abolish- ed. In practice it is more savagely extracted than it ever wus. morning, and there was nearly a; GRANDSTAND SHOW 1S SPECTACULAR EMPIRE PAGEANT Exploits of England's Heroes Are Shown in Historical Review Toronto, Aug 26--- The nightly spectacle of the grandstand is tra- ditionally one of the Exhibition's "high spots," and traditions will be amply fulfilled this' y-.r, Empire year has called forth a special effort on the parf of the grandstand management, and the result, Britannia's Muster is tle biggest and most : mbitious spec- tecle yet, With a greater number of performers, a more brilliant set- ting and more lavish lighting and scenic effects i... --ive ever he- fore been attemptel!, the spectac.c promises plenty of thrills for its hundreds of thounsands of spec- tators. "Britannia's Muster" is an his. t. ical pageant 'a tvhich are re- veiwed some of the outstanding ex- ploits of the men who went out; from England to built the Empire, The review begins «. an early date in Britain's history, with the set- ting out of John Cabot from Briz- t.1 under royal patent 'to conquec: the western world, In the first scene the thousand- foot stage is a faithful produce tion of a 1aedieval seaport where Cabot is ready to embark on hig ship. which stands at the quayside. The time is march 4, 1496 "and he is sailing with the royal bless- ing of Henry the Seventh of Eng- land, who is seen presenting to 'him the patent which authorizes him to "conquer anl govern under the English crown, lands unknown to Christians, to exclude others therefrom and to {import wares t'.ence to Bristol paying one-fifth of the profits of each voyage to the king." On the ship, the officers and crew are making the last prepara- tions for sailing, while on the quay nobles and ladies, soldiers, and sober burghers shipwrights and peasants gather to wish the adventurer and his company God< speed on their adventure into the terrifying unknown west, A good deal of intermediate his- tory has been skipped by the time part two is reached and Nelson's flagship the "Victory" {is seen at anchor preparing for the gallan® battle of Trafalgar. Warfare and bloodshed may be just over the bor« izon but the heart of oak sailors dancing an elaborate hornpipe are nothing but cheerful at the pros- pect, The services of all the Empire gather in the third scene. Detach- ments of troops, scldiers and sail- ors, from every part of the Em- pir converge on to the great stage and pay their homage to Britan- nia, while massed bands play. Then in the finale the great batteries of floodlights are extinguished, and a moment of startling darkness is suddenly burst apart as thousands of star shells, rockets, candles aer- jal bombs and ground set-pieces throw an everchauging mantle of color over the whole tableau.
