TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1929 THE FAIR 1S HERE After long months of preparation and planning, the Oshawa Fair is here. Today the exhibitors are mak- ing their way to Alexandra Park, bringing with them the products which they intend to place on exhibition before the eyes of, the thousands of people who will visit the fair. There is encouragement in the fact that the entries arc beyond any previous record, for this shows that, in* the minds of the exhibitors, at least, the Oshawa Fair is progressing, and is worthy of their interest. This year is a crucial year in the history of the Oshawa Fair. On its success, to a large extent, de- pends the future course of action of the South On- tario Agricultural Society, which sponsors this great annual exhibition. As a show window for Oshawa and Ontario eounty, the Fair plays an important part, and it would be nothing short of disastrous were any- thing to transpire to place its future in peril. . One great factor, of course, is the weather. It is the fervent hope of the Fair directors, and of all others who are interested in it, that weather condi- tions conducive to the complete success of the wea- ther prevail throughout the whole period for which it is open. Every possible contingency that could be foreseen has been provided for, but unfortunately, the weather cannot be controlled, so that rests in the hands of Mother Nature. The only other factor now required to ensure suc- cess is public support. The citizens of Oshawa and district can put the fair in the class of complete success by attending in their thousands, and showing that they are behind the efforts of the directors. The Oshawa Fair is an institution which deserves, and should have, the unstinted support of the entire com- munity, and the next two days will give an admirable opportunity for the citizens to make manifest their desire than the fair should be continued, and should 1 move forward to even greater things in the future than have been achieved in the past, A TERRIBLE TOLL OF DEATH A perusal of the front page of yesterday's issue of The Times reveals a terrible toll of deaths from mis- adventure. The page, as it always does, merely re- cords events happening all over the world, as they come in over the special leased wire from the Can- adian Press, and the featuring of so many accident stories, and so much loss of life was simply a re- flection of the important news events of the day. The headlines speak for themselves as a record of tragedy and death. Here are a few of them: "Two Die in Bowmanville Car Smash." "Three Burned to Death on Tanker." "Five Killed in Crossing Smash." "More Than Eighty Perish in Finnish Sea Disaster." "Six Killed and Score Injured in Bus Accident." "Nine Deaths Over the Weekend." And so one might go on until the list has been exhausted. In all, the deaths of 123 persons by ac- cident on land, in the sea and in the air were re- corded on yesterday's front page. This is a terrible record. Even in war days such a casualty list would have been considered as some- thing to be deplored. Yet, because these deaths are spread over a wide area and over a large number of disasters, they arouse only passing interest. It would almost seem as if the world were becoming callous to reports of the kind cited. Yet each of these ac- cidents touched many homes, brought sorrow and suffering to individuals somewhere in the world. Re- corded in black and white on the cold newspaper «page, they scem to take on an impersonal charactor, But, to those immediately concerned, they are tragedy of the most poignant nature, tragedy of the type which the world could very well do without, and tragedy, in many cases, which might have been pre- vented by the exercise of a care and cau- tion. That is the pity of it all So" many lives are snuffed out simply because, at the crucial moment, the human element failed and disaster occurred. Machines may be made as nearly perfect as science . can make possible. Laws and regulations can be pass- ed in an effort to safeguard human beings. But in the time of testing, the vital element is the human ele: ment, and too often it fails to respond intelligently at the critical moment. ' THE FIRST TRAIN TO CHURCHIL There is something of romance in the bald an- nouncement of Major J. G. MacLachlan, engineer in charge 'of the Hudson Bay Railway organization, to the effect that the first work trains are expected to arrive in Churchill, over that railway, this week, and that a regular freight and passenger service will be possible in November. : There is romance in this because it marks the com- ing true of the dreams of many of the pioneers of Western Canada, 'of those men who, many years ago, saw in the Hudson Bay route a shorter line to the British market for Canadian wheat, and of others' 'who looked. upon 'the development of this road as a means of helping in the uncovering: of the wealth of mineral resources of the northern area adjacent to 'the Hudson Bay, ! The opeXing of the route to Churchill, however, does not mean the end of the project. ;,' it is only the beginning. The steel has been laid, but the future alone can tell what use will be made of "it all. And up at Churchill the great task of creating an important port 'out of a barren, rocky point of land is going on apace. Those who have had faith in the Hudson Bay Railway project as a profitable transportation system, however, will, have the op- portunity of showing that they were right. And those who looked upon the road as a colonization " project, a project whose greatest value would lie in the opening of mew territory for exploration and de- velopment, will watch for the coming true of their dreams, The building of the Hudson Bay Railway has beeu a great undertaking. No . construction project, in many decades, has met with so much difference of opinion' as to its ultimate value. membered that the same differences of opinion were encountered when the Canadian Pacific Railway and the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway were first mooted, and these systems are today earning profits and play- ing a wonderful part in the development of Canada. The time may yet come when the same will be truc of the Hudson Bay Railway, when even those who were its most severe critics and opponents will be compelled to admit that it was well worth while. THE AEROPLANE IN AGRICULTURE Scarcely a day passes without some new evi- dence being given of the usefulness of the aero- plane in the everyday pursuits of industrial and commercial life, as well as in the prevention of forest fires, and the eradication of disease in forest irees. In all these departments, the aeroplane now plays a very important part, and has been organ- ized as a valuable ally of the business man and the lumberman, A despatch from the state of Washington, how- ever tells of an aeroplane being put to a new and very practical use. Flying at a height of only fifty feet above the ground the aeroplane was used by a farmer in seeding a farm of 160 acres with alfalfa, timothy, clover and orchard grass. This whole quarier section of land was complete- ly seeded from the air in one hour and forty minutes, a record of speed which must seem amazing to the farmer who uses the regular meth- ods of seeding. Nothing was said in the despatch about the cost of operating the aeroplane for the 100 minutes re- quired to seed this 160 acres. That would have provided an interesting basis of comparison as to the practical value of this method of doing the job. But even without that, it is easy to see the great value, especially in time of a rush season, of be- ing able to use an aeroplane to do in an hour or . two the work that under ordinary circumstances, would occupy a very much longer time. TOURISTS' PURCHASES IN CANADA The United States' senate, as was pointed out a few days ago, often does things in a peculiar way. For weeks it has been discussing ways and means of in- creasing tariffs in such a manner as to work incal- culable harm to the Canadian agricultural industry. Now, at the, same session, it has taken a step which if it becomes effective, will be very beneficial to this country. This step was taken in relation to the provision which allows United States, tourists to take home with them, from Canada, goods to the value of $100 cach, without having to pay duty on them. Certain United States interests have long protested against this provision, but it was the law, and there it stood. The protest, however, finally reached the senate in the form of a request from merchants in Detroit and other places near the border that it be abolished, since, they &laimed, it was hurting business for them. That sounded like a reasonable request to place be- fore an United States governing body, and with the senate in the mood that it did not care how much "it hurt Canada's feclings, one might have expected that the protest would have been successful. : But the senate did not see things in that light. instead of abolishing the privilege, they added to it, and passed a measure allowing tourists to bring home $200 worth of goods each without paying duty. Now, what ¢an anyone make of a body like that? Of course, it is a very nice thing for Canada, since it will add tremendously to the amount of money left in this country by tourists. But it would make every- one feel better if there were not a suspicion that :t is something like a sop thrown to Canada to make up for the deadly blows being dealt at this country by the increased agricultural tariff schedules, EDITORIAL NOTES The September heat wave is reported to be uni- versal, but that is little comfort to the man who is trying to keep cool. "Can Oshawa salt these Salmonbellies?" asked the Vancouvér Sun prior to the Mann Cup Finals. Osh- awa did more than that, It canned them. It is a safe bet that his wife wasn't in the Pack seat when Lindbergh drove an automobile at 112 miles an hour. Chinese laundryman was pinched for hitting a man with a sizzling iorn. At least he struck while the iron was hot. it Canadian oil éan be used in locomotivés in this country instead of United States coal, it would help Canada a great deal. Last year over twenty thousand people visited the Oshawa Fair. That is a record that can easily be broken if it is' given the support. it deserves in the next two days. The flight of the British aeroplane at 331 miles an hour is as much a tribute to the endurance of the pilot as to the skill of the designer. "The strain of flying at this speed must be sufficient to try even the strongest and most courageous of 'men. In some respects," But it must be re-. Comments EDUCATIONAL CHANGES (Brantford Expositor) A' Montreal educationist says that the old idea of school 'as a. place for the teaching of reading, writing and arithmetic is a' thing More's the pity. Under the. present system the brains of the kiddies are lled with such a variety of scraps a3 to put them in the Irish-stew class. STARVATION DIETS (Houston Post-Dispatch) here is no substitute for whole- |" some food and. not only the produc- ers' pocketbook, but also the is physical well-being are being affect- ed adversely by the mania for skele- ton lines. Many persons fail to ap- preciate the dangers inherent in un- der cating, fasting, starving and ex- Derimenting with this or that fadist iet. i HOME SWEET HOME! (Coristine Jope-Slade in the Wo- men's Journal) Home is still there, but no one is living in it permanently but the baby. The other occupants wander cheer- fully in and out and just leave it there till they ¢ome back. It'isn't clamped over them like a clothe over lettuce for them to mature in any more. Let us be starkly honest apout this home business. It is tne exile's eyes that dim over "Home, Sweet Home" not the eyes of the daughter of the house sitting in the middle of the scene listening to the touching words over the wireless be- cause it's the maid's night out. BRITAIN'S BURDEN (New York Herald) It is easy to denounce the official laxness which permitted the move- ment (in Palestine) to develop; it is far more difficult to chart the wise British course in such an emergency. Immediately, of course," the riots must and will be put down. The ob- ligation of the English government to protect lives and maintain order in Palestine is clear. Then what? The British statesmen who so lightly pledged independence to the Arabs and a homeland to the Jews promis- ed more than they realized, and the problems faced by the statesmen at The Hague are simple compared to the solution of the tangled skein of races and religions in Palestine. A WAY WITH EDITORS (The Outlook) The editor of this paper has a con- fession to make. During the past few weeks he has received a number of 'letters _ criticizing him most se- vercly because in speaking of cigar- ette-smoking he didn't courageously take a bludgeon in his hand and hit every one over the head who looked as if he ever had any notion of "lighting up." And of course such criticism made him feel rather low in his mind, until he happened to no- tice the editor of one of the leading journals on the continent being brought solemnly and ' seriously to task for a facetious editorial on how to pronounce blueberry pie. And af- ter that he felt better, for he saw that people have a way with editors which is not to be taken quite at its face value, - Bits of Humor - NEVER PRAYS FOR RAIN "I'm glad the world is filled with sunshine." 7 "An optimist, ch?"

You have tried your best to look after him or her in every possible way, and when you perhaps receive a request from the school authorities for permission to remove some of the youngster's clothing in order that heart, lungs, and spine may be exam- ined, you become indignant, You feel that such a procedure may be necessary for some children but not for yours, because of your watchul care. Now what about it? It is possibie of course, that your youngster will come through such an examination without any recom- mendations from the physician and nurse, but what do the records show ? That your youngster who has al- ways been able to see the pictures in a book or on the screen may have deficient eyesight because when plac- ed fifteen or twenty ' feet from the blackboard he cannot see the standard size letters distinctly, Perhaps as the nurse or' doctor speak to him in a measured tone he doesn't hear distinctly and yet most of the other youngsters have no dif- ficulty in hearing. This may due to an after result of some childhood ailment, or to enlarg- ed tonsils. When the youngster is' weighed he may be pounds lighter or heavier than the average child his height and age. This may be due to under- feeding and excessive play, or to ov- erfeeding and laziness. Examination of the spine.may show a curve sideways, or too far for- wards at small of the back thus giv- ing a protruding abdomen. Proper posture is a part of the training which all school teachers now try to teach their pupils, Perhaps you have been under the impression that your youngster's heart was not strong and you have forbidden him to play. The examina- tion shows that it is not only safe for the child to play, but that his heart, and lungs also, need strengthening, and of course play is thé proper me- thod to attain this strength. The examination of nose and throat and the condition of the teeth: and the shape of the mouth very often present conditions that can be so ea- sily corrected at this time, and thus save the child from present embar- rassment, but to an even greater ex- tent in the future. I believe that you'll agree that this examination is worth much to your child and all children, and that any refusal to co- operate on the part of the parents is because they haven't looked into the matter thoroughly. Copyright Act) D. 8. SMITH, PUBLISHER OF THE FORT WILLIAM (ONT.) TIMES-JOURNAL, SAYS: "Did you ever stop to think that buying at home resolves itself into the matter of supply and price? It is pretty hard to get Mrs. Jones or even Mr, Jones to buy at home un- less the goods required are avail- able and at a reasonable price. *] imagine that every mer- chant should give a great deal of thought to the question of whether or not he is 'hitting the ball' of public service by attractively displaying his goods, honestly pricing them and . adequately advertising them.

The decrease of 65,000 admissions in the total attendance during the sea- son just closed, compared to the re- cord total of last year of 2,039,000, cast not even an undertone of regret, dissatisfaction or uneasiness into the prevailing note of thankful congratu- lation and pledge of renewed endea- vor sounded by Mr. Bradshaw during the closing ceremonies, The consensus was that the de- crease held little, if any, significance, that it represents about a half a nor- mal day's attendance, and that too much emphasis has been placed on the importance of the attendance fig- ures. I'he decrease was also describ- ed as a natural one, ascribable to ad- verse weather conditions, necessarily upset arrangements for the marathen swim, the exceptional effort made io put over the Lxhibition's golden ju- pilee last year, and the combination of late, in some cases, ruined crops. Mr. Bradshaw's farewell specch on Saturday night, delivered to a spec- tacular throng of 25,000 persons pack- ed around the eight massed bands, the 2,000 members of the Exhibition chorus, and several score Boy Scouts each holding aloft a Union Jack, voic- ed naught but pride coupled with de- termination to raise even further the standard of the Exhibition's success. "At this time our retrospection is characterized by a feelng of pride in what has been accomplished, mingled with a certain discontent which in it- self is an assurance of our future progress and an even greater achie- vement in the years to come," he de- clared. Fair at Important Period "As we stand now," he continued, "on ground which have endearca themselves to all of us as the scene of years of association, we are con- fronted by the realization that these are the closing moments of a niost important period in the history of the Canadian National Exhibition. The Exhibition's Empire Year has un- doubtedly been one of significance and interest although through its very proximity we are unable to make a true evaluation of its more Yar-reach- ing results. "To-night, with humble hearts, we offer thanks unto Almighty God for the ever-increasing prosperity with which He has favored 'this Exhibition throughout all these 51 years, and we pray that in the. years to come we may continue to prosper and become nations," After acknowledging the debts of gratitude of the directors to all who participated in or aided the progress of the fair, including the federal, pro- vincial and civic administrations, Mr. Bradshaw announced next year's de- signation as All-Canada Year, "Every endeavor will be made," he remarked, "in order that next year it may be possible for our patrons and visitors from all parts of the world to form a clearer and more de- finite conception of the tremendous resources of this rich and broad do- minion, Brilliant Demonstration The closing demonstrations were brilliant, imposing and picturesque. With the silver helmets and blue tun- ics of the Governor-General's Body Guard band in the van and the scar- let-coated, shakoed Highlanders a bright spot in the parade, the eight massed bands of the grandstand spe- tacle marched from the arena to the grand plaza south of the fountain ay about 1045 p.m. They formed up fac- ing the stage, in the bright glare of search lights which played on the scene from surrounding buildings. Shortly afterward the flag-bearing phalanx of Boy Scouts arrived fol. lowed by the marching members of the Exhibition chorus, Dr. H. A. Fricker at the head of the column. The huge crowd spread out in a semi- circle, almost as far as the eye could sec, looking eerie under the lights. On, the platform were assembled all Exhibition officials, directors, mem- bers of the sity council and Mayor McBride. The bands thundered into "OQ Can- ada." President Bradshaw said fare- well to the crowds and thanked them for their "loyal support" The strains of "Land of Hope and Glory" crashed majestically from the bands. The band and chorus joined in "Abide with Me" and, once more, "O Canada." A long silence.

"I said it excelled Wembly" the premier commented. "It has the same acreage. It has an average attend. ance as big as the peak at Wembly, It has permanent buildings instead of pasteboard, and furthermore it is an- nual, not sporadic." The Exhibition was a great inspir- ation and of much educational value he pointed out. "I would almost bankrupt the province rather than see the Exhibition fail for want of fin- ancial ort," he declared. Appreciation of the assistance giv- en the Exhibition by the city council the board of control, mayor and citi- zens was expressed by Thomas Bradshaw, President of the CN.E irectors in his openin address. Three needs which he PE ad to i supplied before 1930 were a new women's building, new horse stables and better transportation facilities within the grounds. "The Exhibition is the greatest as- set Toronto has," Mayor McBride said, when he arose to speak. "It has made Toronto what it is today." Its success was due to the efforts of the dizetons and the 'management, he said.

"It is not an expenditure," he said, "but a sound investment." be a Referring to the emphasis placed on the need of a women's building by the controllers and mayor who had spoken before he did, the premier suggested that he might take their interest as an indication that there would be an election this winter. "How about your own election?" the mayor inquired. "I might congratulate myself that I whispered to the women that if they got the mayor and council in favor of a new building that they would certainly find the government sympathetic' the premier continued, "And apparently they have done their work well" When Hon.

As the spring season was very late in starting at one time it was thought that the majority of the crops would failure, but the sunshine and rain have brought about a very good year's yield throughout this vi- cinity. The wet spring was good for the hay and it was an unusual heavy crop and fall wheat was also.good, averaging 40 to 50 bushels per acre. Spring wheat and peas are very scarce while mixed grains, barley and oats, are rather light in the straw, but are well filled, and are turning out pretty good. Buckwheat and clever seed, will have a hard test with such a dry hot spell of weather just at its filling time.
