Through the co-operation of the Oshawa Lumber Company, of which W. M. Gilbert is the persident, the radio listeners who are tuned in on station CKGW, Toronto, will learn much about Oshawa, and will find out some of the reasons why it is one of the most pro- gressive cities of Ontario. This method of community publicity has been growing in favor lately, and Oshawa is fortunate in being able to take advantage of it. It is not necessary, of course, to ask the Oshawa radio listeners to tune in on this program, because they will do so with- out any request. It will be very interesting, however, to note the responses which come from other places, and to observe the reac- tion of listeners elsewhere to Oshawa's broadcast. A SPLENDID WORK The excellent report which appeared in last night's issue of The Times regarding the recent boy scout conference at St. Cath- arines was a revelation to many people who have no real conception of the work that is being done by this organization. It revealed _the wide scope of the activities undertaken by the scouting movement, and, above all, showed the high plane on which these activ- ities are maintained, The interest shown in the conference by the scout leaders of Oshawa speaks well for the future of the movement in this city. For a city the gize of Oshawa, the scout move- ment offers opportunities for the healthful development of body and mind which every lad needs in order to round out his training for citizenship. With a central scout organ- ization taking control of the movement here, and with scoutmasters and leaders who are imbued with the importance of their tasks and enthusiatic over their possibilities, there is no reason why scouting should not, in the very near future, reach the point where practically every boy of the right age in the city has affiliations with the movement. PULLING OR KICKING In the course of a conversation the other day, while discussing the 'esesntials of good citizenship with a group of local people, Dr. Teyhi Hsieh, the well-known Chinese states- man, who has a wide circle of friends in the city, let drop a few words of real wisdom. "When a donkey is pulling," he said, it can't kick. When it is kicking, it can't pull." There is a whole wealth of philosophy in those words for the citizens of any com- munity. Any city which wishes to make pro- gress has to have the co-operation of all its people, all pulling the same way, for the wel- fare of their community. And so long as they are all pulling, shoulder to shoulder, to make things better, they never have time to kick, that is, to indulge in destructive criti- cism of their community. . On the other hand, the citizen who is a knocker, a kicker, is just so much dead weight to the city. He is not helping with the work of progress. On the contrary, he 'is holding things back, just as a kicking {onkey would do in a team. Now who wants to be a kicking donkey? A CAREFUL COUNCIL Although the year has not advanced very far, there are already indications that the city council intends to be more careful in the consideration of any project which requires the expenditure of large sums of money. This was apparent at the meeting on Mon- day evening, when it was announced that ex- penditures for local improvements were to be kept down to the lowest possible mini- mum, in keeping with the needs of the city, and when the council refused to sanction an $8,000 expenditure for the straightening of Mary street, . This is a sound attitude for the city coun- "cil to take at the present time. We do not say that expenditures, when necessary, should not be sanctioned. But it is a good thing for any community to have a council which considers all: matters of expenditure with the very greatest of care. In this way, many expenditures which might be deemed justifiable may, on more mature consider- ation, be left over until a more opportune time. Oshawa has so many needs pressing upon it, of course, that money has to be spent on them, but with a council which gives careful thought to its decisions as to where the money is to be spent, there will be few mistakes made. THE HANDLING OF DIVORCES The question of whether or not Ontario should have a special court for the trying of divorce cases again promises to be the sub. ject of discussion in the house of Commons. There is very little possibility, however, of the government introducing a bill towards this end, for the Quebec bloc is solidly op- posed to any such measure. There has been much criticism of the pro- posal on the ground that it will make divorce easier and cheaper. The latter reason is un- doubtedly true, but an examination of the records of the Senate divorce committee is not sufficient to convince one that it is diffi- cult to secure a divorce through that body. For instance, there are over 200 Ontario di- vorce cases to come before the Senate com- mittee during the coming session. Many of these will be decided on five or ten minutes consideration by the committee. If the time were taken to go into these cases in a judi- cial manner, as would be done in a court, the list would never be completed, for the com- mittee simply would not have the time to hear all the cases. For that reason, there is a possibility that a divorce court would not make cases of di- vorce any more easy or plentiful. Many peo- ple would hesitate before taking their trou- bles before a properly constituted court where judicial knowledge and experience would be brought to bear upon the evidence. This, alone, would tend to reduce the num- ber of applications. Every case, too, could be given the time necessary for an intell- igent judgment, and that is by no means possible in the rush proceedings of a senate , committee. So, in considering the advisability of creat- ing & divorce court for Ontario, both sides of the question should be examined before decisions are made. Divorce is, at the best, a nasty thing, but it is a condition of modern life, and while it exists, it should be handled by the best method that can be devised, rather than in a slipshod and hasty manner as is the case in many actions under the present system. A BOOSTER FOR CANADA Ever since former Premier Stanley Bald- win visited Canada in 1927, and saw for him- self its great possibilities for development, he has been a booster for this country. His ' most outspoken utterance on this score was that which he made a few days ago in an address at Belfast, Ireland, when he aid. "I believe Canada before many years will be the first of the Dominions to evolve into a great manufacturing coun- try. The prospects for Canada's future are boundless, and you in this great Ul- ster have helped largely in the develop- ment of Canada into the mighty Dom- inion she is today." 4 It would be a fine thing if Canadians gen- erally could adopt the same optimistic spirit as to the future of their country as Mr. Bald- win expressed in these words. Canada, in the last two decades, has travelled a long way along the road to becoming a great manufacturing country. Many of its indus- tries, however, are still in their infancy, and have the days of their geratest development still ahead of them. There are lines of manu- facturing, too, which still have to be opened up in thie country, and for which there are great possibilities. It used to be said that Canada was de- pendent upon the grain crop for its prosper- ity, and the experiences of this year seem to indicate that this is still true to some extent. The development of manufacturing to the apex of its possibilities affords the only es- cape from this dependency upon the crops provided by the grain fiields of the west. So, when Baldwin's prediction comes true, this country 'will then be in a position to enjoy greater prosperity than has been known even in the most glorious days of the past. EDITORIAL NOTES Only one thing is worse than running in- to debt. That is running into one's credit- ors. , It would be much better for the nations id scrap their battleships than to scrap with them. Everybody is still waiting for a long en- ough thaw to halt the process of depletion of the coal supply. English bakers are planning an "eat more bread" campaign. This should be a good thing for Canadian wheat. Members of the Ontario cabinet have been making "slarhing attacks" on the opposi tion. If they could apply the same treat- ment to taxation, it would be appreciated a little more. Other Editor's ~ Comments UNEMPLOYMENT IN WEST (La Patrie, Montreal) As Mayor Webb of" Winnipeg shrewdly observed, ae 'must 'partly attribute the present sithation sn the West to the line of conduct ddopted by the Pool. Everyone hopes that its deteymination to ,postpone for such a length of time the sale of the 1929 crop may in the end be pro- fitable to the farmers, but in" the meanwhile there is not a shadow: of doubt that the attitude of the: Pool has had a deplorable effect on em- ployment. Mayor Webb declared that. the pricc of the 1928 crop had not yet "been entirely paid to the farmers who were waiting also for a very considerable proportion of the payment on the 1929 crop. In this situation, one imaginds that employ- ment in the West shbuld be reduced to nothing in agriculture and to a minimum in industry. / CREDIT SALES ARE RULE (The New. Yorker) A big merchandising eyent of the past week came when a young couple tled down in the East: Nineties, went tains. They gave tlic, clerk who waited on them the exact 'amount of the purchase in cash. He stood sthr- ing at the money. "What's wrong?" asked the husband. "Well, sir," said the clerk at last, "I've worked "here many years, but I never made a cash sale before and I-I scarcely know what to do with the money."
