New York snd Chisago mr "MONDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1929 THE FINAL APPEAL Pamorrow Christmas Yve will be here, providing to the eitisens of Oshawa thelr last opportunity be , fare Christmas of sontributing to the Welfare and Christmas Cheer Fund, By tosmorrow night, four hundred needy families will have heen provided with the necessities for Chrlstings dinnev us @ result of this fund, whieh, in addition, has saved many families from starving within the last few weeks, But al though the Christmas Cheer distribution will be eum pleted tomarrow, the work of the Welfare Societies will 'eontinue, There ls still a hard winter ahead, with its cold and snow, and with its hardships for thase families which, through lack of employment, are In dive straits of distress, These mual he looked after, and it will only be beenuse of the generous glving of the people of Oshawa that this will be at all possible, There have been some splendid contributions to the AVelfare and Christmas Cheer Fund, but even yet the number has been far toa small And there [8 but Hietle time left to remedy this neglect, and to sub stantially fnereaae the fund so that it will be ade quate to take care of all whe will be dependent on it for food and fuel during the winter months A fund of this kind {8 a worthy objet for Christmas giving snd Ib deserves the generous support of every itis wenn who ean make a contribution, large of small, Iv Is admitted that there ds in Oshawa (his winter, as in other centres, an unusually large amount of wie employment, This means privation and hardship at any time of the year, hut it is partienlarly distressing in the depth of a bitter winter, when (he ehildren are in need of warm homes, plenty of nourishing food and warm elothing For these reasons, The Tlmes makes Its final aps peal to those whe have not ineluded the Welfare and Chelstmas Cheer Fund in thelr Hist of Christmas wifi, Phe system of distributing relief is now organized in sueh un way that there is no overlabping, and every case 1a investigated, and dealt with solely on its werlts, Thus there is no wastage of funds, and oy ory dollar 1a made to produce the maximum results, On the sve of Chelstmas, then, let not the eall of the needy ones he wiheard, but let it be remembered In the Nght of the utterance of that Greatest Friend of Humanity, when He sald, "It ls more blessed 10 give than to receive," and, when in speaking of the reward of duty well done, He sald, "Whosoever shall give 10 drink unto one of these little ones a eup of cold water only, in the name of a diseiple verily 1 gay unio you, he shall in no way lose his reward" ---------------------- A GOOD RECORD wnt -- The eitteena of Oshawa will await with wmueh ins terest the financial statement of the eity for the voar, At the banguet whieh he tendered to the eity aldermen and officials on Friday alight, Mayor Mit ohell sprang an agreeable surprise on his guests when he announced that there woukl be a small surplus in the oivie finances for the year which iv now nears Ing @ close, The demands upon the publie purse dure ing the year have heen 80 much heavier than antl sipated in some diveations that it would have eds wloned no surprise were there a substantial defioit, In fact, the majority of the aldermen were expecting that this would be the case, Therefore the announge: ment of a surplus, if it in borne out hy the official statement oF the treasurer, Somes as a very welcome prise, In view of the difflewlt year through which they Nave passed, and the heavy ealls they have had to moet in unforeseen expenditures, the council mews pers of 1929 are to be congratulated on this record of financing, partioutarly in view of the reduction which was made in the tax rate, Such a record has only bean wade, possible by a eaveful porting of Hema of expenditure, and a policy of reducing ex pene 19 the wininwm that 2oull be spent in keeps ing with the needs of the ity, That is the poliey whieh, at the present tune, should mark the activities of all bodies entrusted with the spending of public money, It ix a policy upon which every eitieen will yeadily place the seal of approval, and a policy which might, with benefit to Oshawa, be again followed by the men who compose the 1930 council, whoever they may he, LE Ecanaaiis oo Sit CS aaa kt A LESSON FROM CHRISTMAS ETA a The Christmas season has 4 wonderinl power aves the hearts and minds of wast people, It often res veal trafts oF character in people that are net sue of being there, for it gives them an oppor aA qunity of displaying qualities of philanthropy and generosity Whigh vewain hidden for eleven and a halt months uf the year, and have free vel only in the weeks of the Christmas season, It in well, of conrse that these poaple should come wit of thelr shells at Christimastide, Rar there are ops ty that have a strong appest 16 the human heart, There are calls for nemintance to needy families, ealls for wontributions to many worthy esuses, whieh ge cure support at this time that Is withheld from them at other seasons, And these calls, very often, Ime pel people ta throw oft the elosk of Indiffersnce which they wear throughout the year, and to reves! tha better side of thelr natures, But It Is too bad that this spirit should only be wlven free veln for two woeks of the yeur, What u wonderful world this would be If It were not put back Into sold storage ones the festive season Iv over, but were kept working sll the year round In the dally life of every Individual, That is one of the things which might very well lesd the world to an early coming of the millendum, and whieh would eertuinly make It 4 better and brighter place for those who find the pathway of life & hard one to follow, A CLONE CALL FOR MACDONALD The narrow escape which Mamssy MueDonald's governmemt had from defeat In the Heyss of Come mons a few days age, when It was sustained by o seant majority of elght votes, Is & reminder that the Laber government Is In office anly by the goods will of the apposition parties, and that these parties cin, by combining we & unit, defeat the government uny time they ehooss, Much has been made of the fact that many Con servatlves were absent when the vote was takeh on the coal bill amendment, und that this alone saved the government, It ls quite reasonable to suppose, however, that these members absented themaelves on purpose, The chief asset of the MacDonald govern: ment, In ity effort to remain In power, les In the disinelination of the other two parties to defent the government and force another general election, They would then be In the position of having foreed an election en the country within a year of the last one, and they would have a hard battle to Hight fn Justify ing sueh netlon before the electorate, It fs Just us well, perhaps, that the present governs ment Is dependent on the Liberals and Conservatives for a majority, With & large number of Socialists In thelr ranks, the Laborites might be tempted to adopt radical measures had they a clear working mu jority aver all others, The fact that the opposition in so strong Is a safeguard against unwise legisla thon, and Is & guarantees that nothing will pass through parliament that ls Hable to be detrimental to the wels fare of the country as a whole, tear p---- ~ BETTER TREATMENT FOR VETERANS A The anncuncement of Premier King, wiving definite assurance that amendments to the pension aet, pro viding for more liberal treatment of disabled and brokensdown ex-service men, and for & more liberal interpretation of the pension regulations of Canada, will be halled with satisfaction by those who are in touch with the affairs of ex-serviea men, as well as by the veterans themselves, It Is not going too far to say that in making this announcement, Premier King {a simply bowling to publie opinion, fo the recent Dominion convention of the Canadian Le glon brought the matter vividly before the publie eye, and won for the veterans' cause the support of the majority of Canada's newspapers, it has been a fore gone conelusion that semething would be done, The decision of the governmept In a decisive vie tory for the veterans' organization, the Canadian Le lon, whieh has had able assistance from many news papers, The Times has at all times been a supporter of this cause, but Is quite willing to hand over to the Lewlon the full credit for tte splendid work, It ras ther takes exception, however, to the attitude of the Toronto Globe in elalming eredit for having launched the campaign whieh has had so fruitful a result, In gommenting on the premier's announcement, the Globe sald pe "hus the campaign launched by the Globe on benalt of ex-aervice men, and whieh has been taken up with great enthusiasm by the Canadian Legion and many other Important pubiie bodies, has borne fruit" This would make it uppear that the Canadian Les wlon Interested itself in the cause of the ex-service men only alter the Globe had launched a campaign, Nothing could be more diametrically opposed to the facts, In January, 1927, at the first Dominion een vention held in Winnipeg, the Legion laid down ita principles, and started {ta Aght for the concessions whieh are now to be made, Part of their claims passed into leginlative effect at the 1928 session of parliament, At the St, John eonvention, in June, 1928, the Legion's program was again ratified, and the fight continued, Then again at Regina a month ago, the Leglon again took ita stand, and adopted a "Chaster of Righty" embodying the very principles whieh the government has now accepted, It was only about a month age, too, that the Globe launched its active campalgn on hehalf of the ex service men, and while the service of the Globe to the cause, an well as the service of other newspapers, was valuable In moulding public opinion, the outstand. Ing factor in bringing the matter 10 a head was the challenge of Sir Arthur Currle to the people off Cans ada in he message to the Legion convention, Thus, after taking all the facta inte consideration, the Canadian Leglon 1s to be congratulated on the success of ita fight, and ought to feel encouraged 10 #0 on Ax an organisation whieh is rendering yeos man serviee to the war veterans of Canada and te the eountry at large, ' EDITORIAL NOTES The last week han snowed everything under ex oept the Christmas spirit, ---- Ryery dolar will help, and thousands of them will make a relief fund that will meet every need of the situation, #nee -- Christmas will he all the merrier if you have made your gontribution to the Welfare and Christmas Cheer Fund, A -- In a day or two, the average man won't have to worry about the dwrns on his socks or the soups pots on his tes Manutheturers olaim that the demand for hale heushes has fallen off, Anather sign that the pres sent age does not believe in corporal punishment, w---------- Rowe ix 10 have sixty "immortals" Probably sels ood an the same basta ds Mussolini has heen fare ing hin cabinets, Oatanio," says The Globe, "la paying more tans 08 Than ab any provigns time in her hstery" But the general option 1s that she fv getting good value Fortuiivies al that season liberality and generon { for her mene, \ Other Editor's Comments em------ BHOULD pHOW RESPECT (fofonte Globe) Windsor Daughters of the Empire do well to Jrotist aginst the lack of Interest fhown by theatre audiene- eb during the ping of the Nations!
