The present at- commodation for these departments is a dis- grace to a city of the size and importance of Oshawa, and it is well that the 1980 coun- cil has had the courage to face the situation boldly, put forward its decisions for the rati- fleation of the ratepayers, in the firm belief that these decisions will be well received There can be no question of the necessity for these buildings, and on that Zccount aloue, the proposals should be carried by the vote of the ratepayers. It is unfortunate, of course, that the coun- cil did not show the degree of leadership which might have been expected in the sel ection of the site for the poilce building. - It may have been impossible to reconcile the varied viewpoints of the aldermen, but much weight would have been added to the police building proposal had they been able to agree on the place where the building was to be erected. The question of site, however, is not nearly so important as that of the main question of building the police building, and the individual ratepayers are left free to give expression to their individual views as to which is the best location of the two to be submitted. The date for putting the bylaws before the electors has not'yet been set, but it is to be hoped that when the time comes the mem- bers of the city council will take a part of active leadership in informing the public as to the necessities of the case, so that noth- ing, will be left undone to ensure that the by- laws will be carried. ; SAFEGUARDING LIFE b en -- . | The Oshawa City Council is to be rcom- mended on the installation of life-saving .equipment which has been made along the city's waterfront on Lake Ontario. One roads these days of so many drowning ac- cidents that there is a certain amount of tisfaction to be gained from the knowledge that the city fathers are seized with their responsibilities in trying to safeguard hu. man life in this respect, and it is to be hoped that the new equipment which has been pro- vided will serve-that purpose. So often one hears of drowning accidents that might have been averted had there been means at hand for the saving of life, ool should, so far as is humanly pos- sible, be free from such accidents in future. since adequate safeguards have been pro- Now that the life-saving equipment has ] installed, the citizens who frequent the t should remember that it is there for a definite, serious purpose, and not as a " ---- hed for other casi pr 3 1 \ Shen It cated ino ue | a £S : . as is is i which should no opt, a 10 hoped ti t all citizens will co-operate wit the authorities in seeing that the equipment \s not used for any purpose other than that for which it is intended, i aerial IRA lauded by young boys who do not like or recres- | # g ai there, | theless with the of the lane. ever widening, this city mn Yoo tr fo re- main off the air map of hhh LL also 'make provision for an airport.

It is only right, of course, that the two men who had been wrongfully imprisoned should be allowed to go free. They had done no wrong. Rather had they been wronged which exist for the administration of jus- tice. There could be no justification for keep- ing them any longer in prison. , But 'the people of Canada have a right to expect that the case should not end there. These men have suffered more than man can tell. They have undergone the indignities of confinement in a penitentiary. They have been deprived, for several months, of their' right to earn a livelihood. They have suf- fered one loss of actual cash, and another loss that cannot be measured in dollars and cents, Every right-thinking citizen will say that these two young men are entitled to compen- sation for the period which they spent in the penitentiary. This is a matter for the fed. eral authorities to consider, and they should lose no time in doing so, Perhaps it is not provided for in the laws of Canada. Per- haps there is no statute which provides for the payment of compensation of innocent men , who are wrongfully punished. Yet, if there is no legal obligation on the country, there is a moral obligation, a right to com- passionate treatment by the payment of as generous an amount of compensation as the federal government may feel impelled to grant. A MEMORIAL TO DAVID FIFE It is interesting to note that a memorial is to be erected in honor of the memory of David Fife, one of the great agriculturists of Canada. Canada has thousands of mem- orials in memory of the heroes of war, and these are well worthy of being remembered in this way. But she has, as yet, few mem- orials in honor of the men who have won the great victories of peace that have placed Canada in the forefront of the nations of the world. David Fife was one of those heroes. His contribution to the developnient and great. ness of Canada has been worth untold mil- lions of dollars to this country--possibly billions, He it was who developed the strain of wheat which was able to withstand, the climatic conditions of Western Canada, and thus he made possible a great part of the development of the prairies as the bread basket of the world. There are but two memorials in Cenada in honor of agriculturists. That to David Fife will be the third. One is'a memorial in Que- bec to the first farmer of that province, and McIntosh apple. David Fife is well worthy of being placed in company with these, and the People of the Peterboro district, wherew [pb ry FIRST PLACE (Brant!

NO OTHER DECENT WAY OUT (From the Stratford Beacon-Herald) We have tried signs at level cros- sings; at other places there have been bells put in; then too, there are those wig-wag signals and gates in a number of places where traffic is very heavy, : All these things have been useful to some extent; we darg say there would have been many 'more acci- dents were these safety efforts not in xistence at all Yet the records very clearly show that drivers smash through the gates: the one in which the public will be very much interested just now has been smashed ten times this season Drivers go ahead in spite of bells and wig-wags, and they arrive right on the track when an engine getsthere. So 'we can take it for granted that preventive effort of the sort we have used is pitifully insufficient, We must take into consideration careful drivers and others who are not similarly blessed with that qual ity. Put the highways over or under the railroad tracks The two things simply do not be- long on the same level, and we have been demonstrating this over and over with funeral processions, and with' anxious relatives waiting in hospital corridors to hear if there is an chance for recovery of loved ones.

He gradually increases his work until he is doing as much as he will have to do during the bout. In addition to this he is running three to five miles daily, However, a few days before the bout you will read that he is 'down to weight', hag eased up on his training, and for two or three days before the bout he does no real work, just a little walk or shadow boxing to keep him limber. Why this 'let up' on his train. Ing when you would think he would work fight up to the last minute? Pecause he does not want to be- come 'stale', ' Stalenesy means that the athlete has been doing so much work that the wastes from his work have not been carried away by the circula- tion, and actually prevent the mus- cles working at their best.

Rhoades, Canadian Press Staft Writer) New York June 3.--Twenty years ago today Glenn H. Curtiss flew his odd-looking pusher bi plane from Albany to Manhattan and accomplished a feat which the late William Howard Taft, then president of the United States, de- tory of aviation." Curtiss flew 137 miles at an hyerage speed of 54 miles an hour, The commemoration of the Cur tiss flight; which will take place to-morrow when an armada of mo- dern aircraft will retrace the plo- neer's course, is of interest to Canadians, for the first two really successful aeroplanes ever built in Canada were being exhibited the previous year at Petawawa, Ont, military camp, under the eye of the Department of Militia and Defense. The Canadian planes, known as the Beddeck No. 2, and the silver Dart, were built at Beddeck, N. 8. under the direction of Dr. Alexan- der Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone, who was then prominent in the Nationhl Geographical So- clety and very much interested in the development of a feasible heavier-than-air flying machine. It was flown at Petawawa by John McCurdy, now prominent in a Canadian aircraft manufacturing concern, and Casey Baldwin, who is still at Beddeck experimenting with variable pitch aeroplane pro- pellers. The ground at Petawawa proved very rough for the trials, and af- ter one successful flight McCurdy crashed the machine' and broke his nose, 'The twa flyers were equally unlucky with a second, machine differing from the first in that it was a tractor hiplane nstead of a REGRET We who have shut oun souls in ) haunted houses, Fearing to lift our eyes to see the hopes long dead, Peopled by ghaosts of dreams and future What can it bring, now 'lite Is almost fled? 3 .

Curtiss and the Canadians were closely associated during the ear: days of flying on this continent. In fact it was at the Curtiss motor- cycle plant that Dr, Bell and his assistants tested the first success- ful machine. These tests made Mc- Curdy the first Canadian and the sixth man in the world to fly. Baldwin flew after McCurdy and came next on the list, The Beddeck type of aeroplane looked odd compared with the modern machines with all their refinements, yet it flew over 2- 000 miles before its pilot hung It up in a tree one morning and then climbed 'down to the ground unin- jured, Cn Of the two first Canadians to fly McCurdy gained more renown. He was the first pilot in the world to perform figures of eight in the air, a fest he accomplished rear New York a short time after the Petawawa exhibitions, ter he competed for a prize offered by the Cuban government to the first man who would tly from the mainland of the United States to the Island Republic. MeoCurdy took off from Key West, flew the long stretch of water and was forced down by en- gine trouble within twelve miles of Havana, his destinatfon. The Cue ban authorities were so greatly impressed by his effort that they gave him the prize even though he fell a bit short of the mark. Modern Too Fast MeCurdy has retired from active tlying, although he often goes aloft as a passenger. He thinks modern aircraft too fast for him, although he says they do not differ from his old plane except in the matter of mechanical perfection, Although ke says, he never thought of it at the time, McCurdy realizes that he took some pretty . big chances in his juvenile days. Me and Baldwin taught themselves to fly at a time when flying was prac- tically an unknown art. What these two did was figure out what might: be expected to happen uns der certain conditions in the air, and then go up and ty it. They made, numberless flights, crashed several machines and yet were never seriously hurt, + DECIDE ON NEW ~ (Continued from' Page 1) now rented by 'the Ontario Motor Sales for the purpose of displaying used cars. y C. 0.

Ald, Jackson censured the com- mittee for failing to consult with a firm of architects which in 1928 had entered into a contract with the city to provide certain plans for. municipal buildings. He contend- ed that by agreement with this firm, a sum of $2,600 which had been paid by the city would be credited to its account providing that the firm secured the contract to prepare the new plans, ° He claimed that he had ascertained from a member of the firm that this could be done, He moved an amendment that the clause be sent back to the committee for further consideration. .

'The mu- nicipal building is badly needed and now is the time to build it. The offices of the public utility commission will share halt' the space and thus contribute a con siderable rental, A saving will be made in the rent paid by the city tor offices which are now scattered at various points." In reply to this Ald MacDonald stated that the public utility com- mission could build an office and rent space to the city. Ald. Morris, chairman the property committee, was Impa- tient with the arguments of Aid, MacDonald and Ald Jackson. "It's a shame the way this thing is being held up and kicked about," he claimed. "If anyone should have prepared a budget it was the duty of Ald. MacDonald as chair- man of finance to do #0." of Turning toward Ald, Jackson, he characterized his remarks about the agreement with the frm of ar- chitects as absurd. The agreement was long out of date, he said. He could not understand the action of the alderman, "Surely this council can place its program before the people,' he entreated. Ald. Sulley favored the report. The municpal building was needed and it would provide wofk at a time when it was needed. "Why all this fuss and argu- ment?" asked Ald, Edmund Jack- son, "The matter will go to the people anyway and they will decide what théy want." Mayor Mitchell considered that the municipal office building and police station could be built with- nyt adding & dollar to the city's capital debt. He thought that the matter had been properly handled by the committee and regarded Ald. Jackson's reference concerning the architect as & "herring draggeo across the trail," Ald. Bunker moved, seconded by Ald. Gummow that clauses two and three, with reference to the proposed new buildings, be adopt- od. Ald, P. A. MacDonald and Ald. Sam Jackson promptly followed with an amendment to strike. out clause two in the report. The motion was then changed to read that clause two be adopted, Further discussion, resulted in cluding a spirited dispute between Ald, Morris and Ald. MacDonald as to the methods they would follow in letting out plans to an architect for the construction of a house. Ald. MacDonald had suggested that | there was some merit in Ald, Jacks son's suggestion concerning the ar-| chitect, The property committee chajrman denied that there was. s the argument subsided, chair' man Boddy called for a vote, The amendment was put first and it was only supported: by its two sponsors. The remaining members: of the council all voted in favor of the motion and clause for the erection of municipal offices carried with a large majority, Clause three with regard to the proposed new police station resulted in little: discus sion and was carried almost unani- saously, fe Mayor Mitchell again took the chair, the committees arising and reporting progress.
