Tresidder, Tépresentative, REPRESENTATIVES IN U.S, Powers and Stone Inc., New York and Chicago MONDAY, MAY 19, 1930 'ATTEND THE MEETING Tonight's meeting of the city council pro- mises to be one of more than usual interest. It is very likely that there will be some dis- cussion of the long-mooted proposal for the building of 'an administration building, or city hall for the city, since it has been esti- mated that the city council is in the mood to go ahead with this project. It is the hope of many citizens, too, that something will be done towards making an early start on the construction of the Simcoe Street South subway. ' These are projects of major importance to the people of Oshawa. Yet, if the usual sit- uation exists at this evening's meeting, there will be only one or two people interest- ed enough to attend the meeting and listen to the digcussion. . This is not as it should be. The mayor and members of the city council would welcome a large audience of the ratepayers at all their meetings, since it would show a commendable interest in civic affairs. And citizens could hardly spend an evening in a more interesting way than by attending tonight's council meeting and hearing these important matters de- bated. It would be a surprise, of course, to have the council chamber crowded with spec- tators for the occasion, but it would be a very pleasant surprise, and would prove that Oshawa has some citizens who have an ac- tive interest in what the council is doing. STILL FIGHTING THE CORN BORER "It may have come as a surprise to some of the people of Oshawa to read in The Times a formal notice inserted by D. A. Hubbell, inspector under the Corn Borer Act, warn- ing the people of the city to take the neces- sary precautions to fight the corn borer men- ace. Most people have the idea that this pest is confined to the farms of the surround- ing district, but this is not so. Patches of corn in the cities provide just as excellent a place of hibernation for the borer as do the corh fields of the country, and now is the thme to take the precautions required in order to prevent the spread of the borer, The corn borer finds its winter quarters iin the remants of the corn crop, in the stalks, roots and cobs, In the spring, it emerges in the form of a fly from these winter quart- ers, and starts on its travels. It flies abroad, seeking young corn plants on which it de- posits its eggs, and research has proven that these. flies cover. great distances, some tra- velling thirty or forty miles in a remarkably short, period of time, laying their eggs all along the way, to develop into the boring in- sect which has become the dread of the corn-growers. 'This shows the importance of cleaning up the remnants of last year's corn patch in the city as well as in the country. A few borer flies from the city gardens could very easily infest the fields for miles around with borers, and kill the'effects of the cleanup et. orts of the farmers, The only safe way 18 to clean up all the debris from the corn patch either by burying it, so that the flies are de- stroyed, or burning it. If this were done by every corn grower, in both city and country, the corn borer menace would soon cease to exist. Unfortunately, there are always a few careless ones, and so it is still a danger to the corn crops of Ontario. That is why it is necessary to have a Corn Borer Act, and why the inspector is issuing his warning heat That thee corh patches are liable to severe es. In this instance, a wo who are not: wise should be ------------------------------ -- ON CUTTING CORNERS The great 'majority of people take a great 4 Thea the appearance of the lawns and pide en in front 7 thest homes. 1 y the grass fresh, green, and well- like So ue givi pleasing setting to the 'home.

"Yet there is so little saved by cutting cor- ners, Perhaps the walk may be shortened by a yard or two, but that is all, And it is shortened at the expense of a beautiful piece of grassy lawn, a price far too dear to pay for the saving of a single second. It is so 'unfair to thgse who take a pride jn their lawns to have them ruined in this way, that it should only need to be mentioned to have it stopped. In fairness to your neighbours, don't cut across the lawn corners, BRITISH MUSIC 1t is of more than passing interest to note that the program which is to be presented at the School Children's Musical Festival in Oshawa on Wednesday and Thursday of this week is to consist entirely of British. music, There is a great tendency, particularly in the higher circles of musical art, to give first place to the foreign musical composers. True their music is perhaps the best known, and includes many famous compositions. But that does not of necessity mean that Brit- ish s have done nothing worth while. The people of Oshawa will be sur- prised by the calibre of music which is to be presented at the festival. The program, while all-British, does not lack real merit on that account, and Mr. Richer, the director of music in the schools, who has arranged the program, is to be congratulated on the splendid selections he has made of the oul- standing works of British composers. A STIRRING CAMPAIGN COMING Ontario is going to have a stirring time in the coming election campaign. The an- nouncément that Premier Ferguson is to throw the whole strength of his government into the fight will tend to make this province the great battleground of the Dominion, and to arouse election interest to a high pitch. Premier Fergugon is noted for being a doughty political Tighter as his political op- ponents know to their sorrow. He has be- hind 'him, in his cabinet, a body of capable men, men who have plenty of experience in keen election contests, and they will stiffen up the battle in Ontario to a degree which would not be possible were they to take only a passing interest in the campaign. Ontario is good fighting ground in a federal election, and particularly in the coming campaign. The Liberals scored a considerable number of success@s, particularly in Western Ontario in the 1926 federal election, and it is in that section. that the provincial premier and his aides will probably concentrate their efforts. This will undoubtedly brighten up the On- tario campaign, and the Liberals will have to exert themselves to the utmost to even hold the ground which they now have, IF THE MOSLEMS JOIN So far the troubles in India have not reached the status of a major uprising. There have been some riots, some' outbursts of native savagery, but no more, And the reason behind this was that the troubles were confined only to the Hindu population, led by Gandhi. The most encouraging fea- ture was that the Mohammedans kept them- gelves aloof from the agitation, and showed a feeling of histility against those fostering it. Now, however, there is an expression of anxiety concerning the Moslem attitude. A despatch from India on Saturday stated that the Mohammedan population was becoming restless, and showing sings of joining hands with the Hindus. This would be an import: ant danger signal. Without Moslem sup- port or co-operation, a Hindu rising would not get very far, but with Moslems joining hands with them, the situation would be- come fraught with grave possibilities for the British authorities in India, EDITORIAL NOTES Sunday was simply trying to prove that it is never safe to take them off before the 24th of May.
