Tresidder, representative, REPRESENTATIVES IN U.S, Powers and Stone Inc., New York and Chicage FRIDAY, AUGUST 22, 1930 THE FIRE DEPARTMENT STANDPOINT There is one aspect of the civic buildings and police station bylaws which has not yet been given much consideration, and that is the necessity of the fire department .for more accommodation, At present, the fire department is crowded into quarters entire- ly insufficient for the equipméht and the staff which it has to provide for, Five pieces of apparatus are jammed into space which should be occupied by enly three, and the dining and sleeping quarters for the fire- men are entirely inadequate for the number of men essential to fire protection for Osh. AWA, The only solution for this problem is one which is tied up with the bylaws on which the ratepayers are to vote on August 28, By the erection of civic administration buildings, the upstairs floor of the fire building, now occupied by the council cham- ber and police court quarters, would be at the dismwosal of the fire department for din. ing and sleeping quarters for the men, By the removal of the police department to a new building, the section of the ground floor now occupied by that department would be available for the proper housing of fire equipment, Thus the passing of the bylaws would not only provide accommodation for the civic of- fices and public utilities commission, as well as the police department, but would solve for many years to come the needs of the im. portant fire department for sufficient room for its staff and apparatus, This is an im- portant consideration, and one which should weigh heavily with the ratepayers in casting their votes on the bylaws, "FALL FAIRS IN DISTRESS The decision of the directors of Bowman- ville Agricultural Society to dispose of their ground and other assets and abandon the fall fair this year follows similar action on the part of several other organizations, In this district Norfolk has had a bad time, and it was only after very strenuous effort a few months ago that. the committee was able to go ahead with plans for another fair this year, Many of the fall fairs are in a precarious condition. Most of them are fortunate if they break even, Local fairs have to meet changed days, and the changed conditions Involve heavier expenses than they can af- ford, Time was when the district fair was the pvent of the year in the community. It had the field almost to itself in the pre-auto- mobile days. People could not travel very far in a horse and buggy, therefore, the advent of .the fair was an occasion when everybody went to meet everybody else, and it was a eat social gathering, a sort of annual old boys' reunion, with exhibits and races mere- ly incidental. But this is one of the instances where the automobile has harmed the countryside, Peo- ple can go many miles to see the larger fairs and the auto is the means of bringing so much social life into the community that it is no novelty to meet friends from the far corners of the township, or the adjacent townships. There are many opportunities for social intercourse, and thus one power- ful buttress of the district fairs is swept away, Then again, in Ontario at least, the auto is a great feeder for the big events at Toronto, Guelph and elsewhere, by compari- son with which the purely local fair seems tame. Few rural areas are not within easy reach of a town or city where there are picture theatres bringing the most costly produc- tions and spectacular shows from New York and Hollywood almost to their door, The rising generation is satisfied with the splen- dors of the stage; they see and hear the best actors in the world. The little midway which once so fascinated their elders seems tawdry and trivial, and has no thrill for them. And so the fair suffers because it has nothing to offer which can appeal to plase minds. Few people ever bother to look at the live stock except those personally in. terested in showing, and there is a same. ness about the track races, with their tedi- ous false starts and the same horses at each so that one can almost tell in advance what the order of placing is going to be, THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, AUGUST 22, 1930 These things have lost their "kick" and the directors try to bolster- up interest with vaudeville turns which cost a great deal of money, and after all, the only mediocre en- tertainment, It is very regrettable that so many of the minor fairs have a hard time to get along, and the solution may be the consolidation of township fairs into county fairs, One suc- cessful fair in each county might stand a better chance of success than ten or a dozen small ones ~8t, Thomas Times-Journal, * QUITE AN IMPROVEMENT During the month of June, Canada import- ed from the United States goods to the value of $69,000,000, That is a huge total, yet it is satisfactory to know that it is $21,000,000 less than the goods imported in the same month last year, when the figure was $80, 000,000, That means, to put it bluntly, that in June of 1930 the people of Canada sent to the United States, for goods produced there, $21,000,000 less than in the month of June, 1929, That is quite an improvement, and whe. ther or not it is due to any rearrangement of Canada's tariff schedules, the figures are there to speak for themselves, The improve. ment goes even farther, for while the im- ports to Canada from the United States de- creased by $21,000,000, the exports from this country to the United States dropped off by roughly $8,000,000, This makes a gain for Canada's trade balance'of $13,000, 000 over the same month last year, When it is remembered that a practically similar record was made in May, 1930, in comparison with May, 1929, it will be ob- served that Canada is turning away from the United States for her imported goods to the extent of over twenty-five per cent, That may mean a great deal to Canada, and on the other hand, it may mean little, For in. stance, it may mean that the people of Can- ada are less able to buy goods of any kind, But, on the other hand, if it means that they are turning to the products of their own fields, forests and factories in preference to those of another country, then the turn is all in favor of a revival of Canadian industry, PUY MORE~~AND BUY CANADIAN GOODS I'he one thing that is wrong with industry in Canada today is that people are not spend. ing money, are not buying goods fast enough, and in addition to that, are not buying enough goods made in Canada, It may be said that a great many people cannot spend money, because they have no money to spend, and while that may be true, there is still a very large and powerful section of the Cana- dian public with an unimpaired purchasing power, Mayor Wemp of Toronto has expressed the opinion that one of the methods by which industrial depression and unemployment can be secured is by the urging of the people of Canada to buy Canadian goods, There could be no truer statement, Canadian industries would be booming today if the money spent for imported goods were spent for goods of the same kind manufactured in the factories of Canada, For instance, in the month of June, imports to the amount of over $60, 000,000 came from the United States alone, That amount, possibly, contained a certain percentage of raw materials for industry, but nevertheless, it included many millions of dollars of goods which could just as easily have been purchased in Canada, There are few people in Canada, rich or poor, who are not concerned over the unem. ployment problem, They ought to be ready to show their concern in a practical manner, by insisting, whenever they have a dollar to spend, that the goods which they buy are produced or manufactured in Canada, EDITORIAL NOTES Many a man wishes he were as wise as he thinks his wife thinks he is,.--Life, We gather from the fashion reports that women are wearing their legs shorter.
