RERRESENTAT7VRS INS Powers and Sto Ine v Hew York and Chicago SATURDAY, MAY 10, 1930 THE CITY CAN DECIDE 1, ---- oir Henry Thornton was very decided and Jmphatic regarding the Oshawa subway pros ject when he was interviewed, briefly, by a representative of The Times while In the city yesterday, "The city can have the sub- way any time it wants it" was the gist of hia statement, and he meant it. Incidentally he showed that, in the minds of the Canadian National Railway officials, the next move lies with the Oshawa city council, and that it can, If it so desires, have the subway built at any time, This should be borne in mind by the mem- bers of the city council in considering the subway project, The last judgement of the Board of Railway Commissioners was so favorable to the city that there is now no doubt dn the minds of the citizens as to the time being opportune for going ahead with the subway construction at the earliést pos- sible tate. The subway is needed, and there * are very few citigens who would express any opposition to it being started within the next few weeks or months, It should not even be necessary to delay the project to take a vote of the people, This uld only be a waste of time and money, ince the members of the council, by their associations and conversations with their fel. iw sttisens, must realize by this time that ublic opinion in Oshawa is almost solidly aligned in support: of going ahead with the plana at once, . As. Sir Henry paid, the next move lies with the city, and the council should lose no fur. ther time--for there has already been more than sufficient delay--in making that move, MAKING A CANADIAN NATION The remarks made by Sir Henry Thornton in his address in Oshawa yesterday concern. ing the building of a true Canadian nation. hood have a peculiar interest to this com. munity, The gospel which he preached in this part of his address is not a new one, for it has time and again been enunciated by The Times in these columns as a policy which might, with profit be adopted by the Eng- lish-speaking people of the city, Sir Henry is a firm believer in the theory that those people who came to Canada from European countries have something to cone tribute to the national life of this Dominion, His gospel is that the best things in their national life and characteristics ought to be absorbed into the life of this country to de- velop a distinctive Canadianiam, and, the bad things rejected, This is exactly the theory that The Times has been advocating'with respect to the non. English speaking. population of. Oshawa, There are in this community some thousands of people who either came from European countries, or whose parents did, They are still, to a large extent, living their own lives, keeping very much to themselves, and, in the first generation at least, being given in i ghana oh 0 w 8) the community.

O 0 odl- tion of 1080, in appearance, in the 'compre hensive nature of its contents, and the in. spiration which it should bring to the chil- dren of Ontario, surpasses any of the form of the outstanding features in the is that it contains the full text of 10 #p delivered by King Gorge at the ing of the naval conference in London January 21, Another article of supreme interest to children contains a description of the dinner given to the Victoria Cross hold- ors of the Empire In London last November, when that notable gathering was presided over by His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, These, along with a number of patriotic songs, photograph reproductions of King George, the Prince of Wales, Lord Welling- don, and the Hon, W, D: Ross, and suggested programs for use in Ontario's schools on Em pire Day, May 24, make the booklet of un- doubted value and Interest. It is 'a book that many of the adult population, ns well as the school children of Ontario, could read for pleasure and profit, MUNICIPAL FOREST RESERVES The Montreal Star claims for a muniel- pality In SBoulanges County, Quebec, the hon- or of being the first In Canada to establish & municipal forest reserve, It says that this has been done for the dual purpose of creat- ing a future supply of wood for fuel and building purposes, and protecting farm lands from sand infiltration, Our Montreal contemporary is apparently sadly lacking in information an to forest re- serves of a similar character in Ontario, The first to be established in this province came into existence In Norfolk County, not far from St, Williams, at least six or seven years ago. 'At that time, the county council of Norfolk acquired a large area of sand lands, useless "for the average purpose of agricul: ture, and planted this whole area with coni- ferous trees, such as spruce and pines, This forest reserve, the firat, and we believe, the largest in Ontario, In owned and supervised by the county council, and Is rapidly becom- ing a valuable piece of property, We had the privilege, some two years ago, of inspecting it, and were amazed at the manner in which the young trees had stopped the inroads of blow sand, and had protected the adjacent property from sand infiltration, The Quebec municipality is to be congrat- ulated on its action in deciding to create a similar forest reserve, but it is hardly fair to Norfolk county, the pioneer municipality in this work, that the Montreal Star should proclaim the Quebec venture to be the first of ita kind in Canada, "PAPA" JOFFRE ILL Marshall Joffre of France ia seriously ill, One by one the famous military and political leaders of the days of the Great War have been going "west." It may be that "Papa" Joffre, as he was affectionately called by the brave poilus under his command, will re- cover from his illness, but he in now an old man, and the sands-are running low in the glass for him, Joffre will always remain the hero of France, His command of the French armies at the time of the German invasion of 1014, and the crushing victory at the Marme by which he changed the course of the war, anved Paris from falling into the hands of the enemy, and halted the German plans for a quick success, captured the imagination of his' own people, and the people of all the allied nations. There will be worldwide sympathy with him in his serious illness, and hopes that the rugged frame may have not been too weak- ened by the ravages of time to make it im. possible for: him to recover, But whether he lives or not in the flesh, Nis memory and | his spirit will live, forever in the minds of those who think of him as the saviour of the allied cause in the early days of the war, EDITORIAL NOTES Wednesday's souvenir edition of The Times has many reminiscent references to the teaching staff and student bodies of oth- er days, but only passing mention of form. or members of the Board of Education, now gone to thelr reward, and who, were they liv. ing , would view with satisfaction the new collegiate and vocational institute. In this connection, one old-timer of education a the late Percy H, Punshon, secretary of the board for a quarter century or more, He wan particularly well-known and liked, a wit, a humorist, musician and poet of real fervor, and, withal, a real sport and a right good fellow, His memory i held in kindly thought by all who knew him.
