D Tresiddar, representative REPRESENTATIVES INU. 8 Powers and Stone, Ine. New York and Chicago ~ WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1929 ' EE -------- -- a THE COUNCIL AND THE NEW ARENA ! he aetlon taken by the city counell at Its meeting on Monday evening with reference to the requests put forward by the Oshawn Arena, Limited, In cons nection with the construction of the new hockey ween, should be sufficient to ensure that the pros posed arena will become a reality, One could hardly Jmagine any elty counell refusing reasonable requests when & structure of the type planned was at stake, and the council was generous In its offer to do everything possible to assist the aren company In carrying out its magnificent project, The provision of a new road leading from Gladstone Ave, to the greek and alongside the new arena will provide a new means of entrance and enress for those who patronize it, and this Is an improvement for which there Ix u veal need. The city was fortunate, of course, In being able to secure the right of way four this Furonto Kastern Rallway at a purely nominal figure, for it makes possible further development In this section of the elty, since that right of wav extends from MeMillan Drive to the western olty limits, The other concessions which have been granted are all essential to the operation of an artificial fee arena, and show a willingness on the part of the counell to co-operate ax far as poss sible In making the way easy for those who are sponsoring the arena The attitude of the « t desire to foster anything which is of a direct benefit to the elty, There can be no doubt as to the benefit which will be derived from the erection of the new rink. One has only to recall the situation of last winter when Oshawa was without proper rink fa cilities, and its hockey teams had to go to other places to play thelr games, This was hardly a cons dition wémhy of u progremive elty of 28000 people, and It Ix gratifying to know that the clty at last is to have a hockey arena of which it can be proud, and which will establish its reputation on the hockey Map, Just ax its lacrosse and rugby football repres sentatives have given it a leading place in these Mporis, road from the council 1s an indication of its FIRE PREVENTION | The manner in which fire prevention week Is being Brought to the attention of the people of Oshawa By the fire department should have a good effect, Not only is the fire chief, by hia demonstration truck, aulling attention to the tremendous loss by fire eased each year, through carolessness, but he is also doing some practical work in making every effort to remove possible fire hagards in the eity, 'The announcement of the fact that Ontario last ¢ sustained a logs of over $12,000,000 in property fire, and that over eighty per eent of these fires were caused by carelessness and were preventable, Wil a story that should sink into e\ery mind, for wario can ill afford such wastage, But even more ivr is the work that is being done by the feof and the members of the fire department in wisiting loca! factories and places of business, and peeting them with a view to calling attention to Fri which might very easily be the cause of LH "This is really the key to the whole situation, I ry individual citizen, in his or her home, would o the trouble to seo that no fire hazards' are al d to exist, thens much of the danger would be ved, Fire in a home is a serious thing, for it ngs hwnan lives into danger, Yet there are far many people who never think of the fire dangers ch exist in their homes, and still fewer who think it 'worth while to make a thorough inspection for such conditions, In this week, observed throughout fhe Dominion us Fire Prevention Week, it would be A good time to make a start at checking up on fire Baars everywhere, so as 10 do everything possible "to keep Oshawa's fire loss down to a low figure, PENALTIES FOR DRUNKEN DRIVERS © Premier Ferguson, in an election campaign speech an his own riding at Grenville, declared it te be the utention of his government to make the penalties far "drunken automobile drivers mugh more severe than they are now. He proposes to Rave the present laws amended so as to provide not only a jail term for F Intoxicated motorist, but alse for an absolute fore ture of the right to drive.a molot ne a tise ing to know that Premier Ferguson : 3 .---- nd © The Times' way of think: on 4his question, for this newspaper has, only "racently, advocated strongly that the suspension of a "driver's permit is the only penalty which will make 8 highways safe from drivers who become intoxi "ented. In fact, it should not have been necessary for Lthe people of Ontario to wait for an election cam palgn to be given that measure of protection from "drunken car drivers, Even at the lust session of the Jegislature it must have been apparent that drunken A oncept Sundays and legal holidays, a1 Oshows THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1929 AA drivers were & serious menace to the lives of law« abiding citisens of Ontarle, and that should have been the time for the Introduction of an amendment to the laws, But elections sometimes are productive of good, und If this promise of the premier, glven In the stress of an election campaign, ls Implemented by leglslas tlon, no matter which party Is returned to power, then the campaign will have done some good, So long as the liquor sale by the government continues, the menace of drunken motorists will continue, and any government should make It a serious duty to see that men of that type are not given the oppor tunity to drive cars on the highways of this province. KEEPING EXPERTS AT HOME Some time ago, when the federal government ap- pointed » commission to investigate the schedules of salaries pald to technical experts In the employment of the country, there was general approval of this nection, It was prompted by the situation which has buen created by the low salaries helng pald to highly trained men In the public service, salaries so low, in comparison with those paid for similar work in the United States, that ade was rapidly losing her best men In this particular fiéld of endeavor. That the appointment of this committee was justle fled Is proven by its first report, dealing with the sale arles pald to workers engaged in the National Re- search Laboratories, In every branch of this depart. ment, the commission has recommended substantial salary Increases, and justifies these by the fact that even yet, with the Increases, the new scales are by no means equal to those paid to the same class of workers In the United States, The granting of these Increased salaries to techni eal workers Is'n step in the right direction, Canada has for too long been training its most brilliant in« tellects for the benefit of the country to the south, for a few years ago thers was a serious migration of highly«tralned university graduates to the Unlted ftates, where they were pald salaries commensurate with thelr training and thelr capabilities, Canada needs these workers during its period of development, but it in only by recognizing that the laborer Is worthy of his hire that they will be retained in this country, THE WORK OF THE SCHOOL CAR The school teachers of the Nipissing district, at thelr annual convention in Noeth Bay last week, had the opportunity of hearing a wonderful story from the teacher In one of the rallway school cars oper ating In Northern Ontario, It was an interesting story of ploneering in education, of taking knowledge and the means of sequiring It to districts far re- moved from ordinary school facilities, Not the least interesting part of his description of his work was that which told of the eagerness of the adult population of the north country to acquire the rudiments of an education, Many of them knew nothing of the English language, yet they came to sohool in the evening, many of the mothers bringing thelr children with them and putting them to sleep in the car while thelr classes were in progress. This Ie a significant sign of the desire of many of these people to become thoroughly Canadianized, and perhaps it is another case of the old saying, "A little child shall lead them" These parents, no doubt, finding their children acquiring knowledge which they do not themselves possess, and learning a language which they do net know, but which is the language of thelr adopted country, are keen to become students in that valuable type of sehool which Is being made available for the people in the sparsely settled areas, It Is a great work that these schools are doing, a work which will be reflected in a better type of citizenship among the new Canadians, CANADIANS AIR-MINDED It would be almost unbelievable to assert that Canadians are more frequent users of the aeroplane as a means of passenger transportation than are the people of the United States, Yet this is true to an exceptional degree, Last year, however, with 63% givil alreraft in the United States, these machines carried 49.713 passengers, In Canada, for the same period, there were only 327 licensed civil aeroplanes, vet these carried the huge number of 24.680 pase songers, This is a striking Instance of the alr-mindedness of Canadians, Apparently they are more willing to trust themselves to the air than are thelr cousing to the south, for it is remarkable that a country with a population eof 120000000 people should have fewer aeroplane passengers in a year by fifty per cent than a country with less than ten millions of people, EDITORIAL NOTES Is your name on the voters' list? Housekeeping seems to be just a slow process of accumulating useless pleces of cut glass in prepara- tion for the next moving, The new mugasine which advocates that Canada should Meome a republic is not likely to have a large circulation, even If it were given away for nothing, The Arctic zone has been the scene of many trags adies, and it begins to look as if eight brave Canas dians have been added to the list of its victims, Ishbel MacDonald's attitude towards precedence at the dinner table in Washington mbst make some of the United States social aspirants feel like the pros serbial two cents, In order to enliven some of the Ontario political meetings, it may be necessary to copy the methods of the service clubs, and have a specially appointed rong-leader, If you have come to hive in Oshawa and district since the beginning of this year, it would be well to hive your name added to the list of voters for the provincial election, ; Qur idea of a supreme optimist is the Liberal candidate who is running in Norfolk against the Hon, JL 8 Martin" says the London Free Press. But what about the Liberals who are running in Tory Toronto? Premier MacDonald's reception in New York will be nothing to the veception he receives when he ros turns to old London with his mission successfully completed, The once despised Labor leader has at tained the position of almost a hero in the eyes of the British people by the actions of his government since it took office in May.
