Banks, as a rule, do not invest their money in office buildings unless they are sure that the investment is to be justi- fied by future business, and when so old- established a concern as the Canada Central Loan and Savings Company makes a large expenditure in building such splendid offices in Oshawa, that is an Indication that men of sound judgment and foresight have pro- nounced themselves as satisfied that Oshawa is to go ahead, So here again, the new of- {ices will be an asset to Oshawa in making great provision of banking facilities to take care of the growth and expansion that lies ahead of the city. STOP. AT CROSSINGS The terrible tragedy which occurred at the railway crossing east of Cobourg early yesterday morning, when six lives were snuffed out, once again brings forcibly be- fore the publi the necessity for more dras- tie regulations regarding the actions of car drivers at rallway crossings. The ideal con- dition, of course, would lie in the abolition of level crossings, but that is an impossibili- ty, for many years at least, and in the mean- time scores of lives are being lost, The only real solution of the dangerous level crossing problem is to be found in the application to Ontario highways of the law which is now in effect in the province of Quebec, that all automobiles be brought toa full stop before going over railway crossings, and its rigid enforcement, This law is work- ing out well in the sister province to the east, and it has not been found detrimental to the flow of traffic to any groat extent. Many motorists voluntarily stop at rail- way crossings out of regard for their own safoty, These are the wise drivers, They realize that the loss of a few seconds of time is nothing compared to the safety of life and limb, and that. it is better to spend a few moments More on their trip, than to be sud- denly plunged into eternity. But the great majority of drivers have not yet reached that stage of reasoning, and they need to be pelled to stop. In other words, if they are not sufficiently anxious about their own 'then the law. must step in to protect them themselves,' . There is a growing feeling among motor- ists themselves that this is the only solution of the lem, and it only requires a minist- or of highways with sufficient courage to bring a great reduction in the death of level crossings, [i 7 ce ---- © FACING ANOTHER CRISIS Jus a Jaw of this kind into effect and enforce toll i "E ------------ " Ramsay MacDonald's government in Great vd facing another crisis this week, on it will have to, meet a Conservative of non-confidence on the question nent. This is the weakest spot ent's record, for, instead of gab the number of unemploy- t in Britain, the government has had to e & continual increase in the number of than possible, of course, that this in unemployment is due to causes bevond the control. of the British HDS the unemployment prob. i relations with. the Lake yl oie Cr nee Street, ersl$ on account of the premier's refusals to meet the demands of Lloyd George for electoral reform, with. a Canservative motion of no eonfldence, 1t is 'hard to say what its fate will be' before the end of this week, : ' 'While anything is possible under the cir- cumstances, it Is hardly likely that the gov- ernment will be defeated and forced to ap- peal to the country. Political expediency on 'the part of the opposition is all against an immediate election. There are too many grave issues in colonial and foreign policy lying just ahead to make either the Conser- vatives or the Liberals force an election at _the present time. And wo, while it may not "be safe to make predictions, there is more than a possibility that when the vote is tak- en there will be a sufficient number of the membery of the opposition absent, or voting' with the govetnment, to prevent its defeat. The vote will probably show that the housp is not completely satisfied with the govern- ment's handiiig of the unemployment situ- ation, and desires action instead of promises, but that will be about all, : THE LAST MINUTE RUSH It is quite the usual thing each year to find parliament rushing through its business in the closing days at a tremendous rate. This year, however, this spectacle is even more hectic than usual, In their desperate attempt to have parliament dissolved in time to have the election held on July 28, both parties are sacrificing the welfare of the country to political party expediency, and business is being rushed through in so little time that it is Impossible to give it even a reaspnable amount of consideration. Of course, there are some items on which the opposition is putting up a show in order to give the impression that the country's interests are of paramount interest. But that does not disguise the fact that both the government and the opposition are in such a hurry to get things over and to get back to the country that estimates, import- ant legislation and everything else are being pushed through the house in the most per- functory manner. Why all the rush is a question which many people are asking? Surely the business of the country is of more importance than the political advantage to be gained by an early appeal to the electors. The people of Canada would be much better satisfied to see thelr business transacted in an orderly fashion, with proper discussion of important matters, rather than a hectic rush to do in three or four days what ought to be spread over a similar number of weeks, A -------- I THE DANGER OF FIRECRACKERS In spite of many warnings issued during the last week or two, many children lost thelr lives in Canada by firecracker acci- dents on Vietoria Day. In Toronto alone, four children lost their lives in this way, and the 'toll of victims in other parts of the Domin- jon added several more to that total. It is hard to understarid the mentality of people who will deliberately ignore warnings against this danger. In most cases, the fire crackers which did the damage were pupplicd by parents, who will regret for' the rest of their lives the folly which impelled them to contribute to the sudden ending of the lives of thelr children. Yet had they taken the warnings given them, their children today would have been happy and smiling, instead of lying in premature graves. It is hard to understand, too, why those with authority to do so have not long ago placed a rigid ban on the indiscriminate use of fireworks. Even in the hands of experts, they are liable to cause accidents, as was ine stanced a few years ago when a workman handling fireworks was killed at the Cana- dian National Exhibition, How much more dangerous, then, are they in the hands of children? * There will be other Victoria Days in the years to come. Whether these are also attended by the same fatal consequences depends on two things, first, whether par- ents become wise enough to prevent their children using firecrackers, and second, whether 'the authorities who have the power to place a ban on firecrackers except for ex- hibition purposes by experts, have the cour- age to do so. \ EDITORIAL NOTES To keep young increase yout activities.

G, Hunts- man, director of the Eastern ¥ish- eries Biological station. 'The re- sults have greatly exceeded primary expectations, and are most promis- ing for the future of the industry. Naturally there has not been justi- fication of the extravagant hopes entertained by some people that the rapid freezing process was to be some sort of Aladdin's Lamp that would in a twinkling of an eye rectify all the disabilities under which the fish Industry . labors. Nevertheless the newer methods of refrigeration and the newer meth- ods of preparing and packaging fish are effecting a slow and steady evolution, if not a revolution, In the industry, and are being extend- ed to the meat trade, The demon- stration i» a most important one | that with the use of proper methods fish and meats ean be kept for six months of a year in first class fresr condition and ready for cooking at a moment's notice "It should be realized that rapid freezing neither makes bad fish good, nor prevents damage from subsequent mishandlings, It is merely the hest way of freezing, and there must be proper refrigera- tion both before and after the freez- ing process if high quality is to be maintained, Unfortunately very much of the present refrigeration of both unfrozen and frozen fish Is very far from Ideal, and when coupled with rapid . freezing does not give a product of the highest quality, This muet be remembered in connection with any particular experience with rapldly-frozen mat eral "The product Introduced by the Blologienl Board and mamed Ice Fillots {s not merely rapidly-frozen fillets, The fillets are of stanaara shape and weight, and sanitarily packaged, and are' to ba cooked while still frozen, which is the | proper way for frozen material, The experiment was, therefore, a test of the saleability not merely of rap- {dly<frozen Neh, but of fresh fish | in a state decidedly unfamiliar to the housewife or cook: and habits and prejudices are changed only with great difficulty. "Finally the test has been made A very rigorous one by putting the rotall prive of the frozen fish dis- tinetly above that of unfrozen fish, something previously unheard of. The chief selling experiment has been in Toronto, and in and near that city during the year followifig and beginning of the experiment (January 1029 to January 1930) over fifty tons of ice fillets were gold, The principal has been had- dock, of which thirty-five sons were handled, Unfrozen haddock fillets retailed at from 18 to 26 cents per pound, the prevailing price being 20 cents, Ice fillets of haddock wero sold at 28 conts per pound in the beginning, when the unfrozen fillets were 23 cents, but the price was shortly advanced to 30 cents, where it has remained, Haddock, therefore, have heen selling in con- FRIENDS OF SUPT, GET BIG SURPRISE "For ten years, in spite of all the medicines I took, my health slowly but surely grew worse.

To many housewives who do thelr own cooking Ice Fillets make an ap- peal, not only because of their high quality, but because of their sani- tary packaging, their convenience, and thelr freedom from any ob- jectionable odor to permeate the house and to cling to the utensils. Appreciation of these features has gerved to overcome the prejudice of the housewife against buying frozen fish, and in an unfamiliar form, "For such a product there was bound to be a limited demand only, but that demand was from the start greater than could be sup- piled by the Board's stations, and two firms undertook production, of the experiment and the demand for the kinds (haddock and cod) readily supplied by these figms was soon taken care of. The deman for other species, such as halibut, flounder, plaice, mackerel, and swordfish, has been, and continues to be, greater than the very limited supplies that have so far been avall- able and for the most part available only from the Board's stations. Tt is quite unlikely that the present demand for these is grat enough to warrant production on a reason- ably large commercial scale, There is every indication, however, that with proper methods a large trade in the various kinds of Ice Fillets can be, and will be, built up. "The experiment has not only proved the high quality of rapiary- frozen fish and the possibility of overcoming prejudice against froz- en fish, but it has also revealed many deficiencies in the current methods of producing and market- ing frozen fish. To give only one example, there are extremely few retall stores properly equipped for holding the material frozen. These deficiencies have greatly limited the scope of the experiment and have prevented any rapld expangion of the Ice Fillet trade as they would This made possible an expansion | front with a bang last scason when he won the tenmile road walk at Guelph and the 1034 mile walk at Coney Island, N.Y., where he set up the second fastest time in 19 years, Cleman's profession and his unique methods of dieting and con- ditioning as well as his undoubted class as 8 walker made him an out- standing figure in local sporting circles, He is Canada's hope in the walk at the British empire games. of any similar product.

The future of the fishing Industry depends upon' it, "The Blological Board has tried this experiment and has demonst- rated what can be done.
