The regulations issued yesterday by je federal minister of labor, regarding the thod of distributing the appropriation i $20,000,000 made by parliament for the pur- pose of relieving unemployment, constituted the most important news for the people of Oshawa, and particularly for the unemploy- ed men of Oshawa, that has been published for. some time. These regulations are gener- ous in their character, and indicate the de- termination of 'the federal government to grapple seriously with the problem of helping the municipalities to bear their burdens of unemployment. The Times has already com- mended Premier Bennett for his prompt and business-like handling of the situation, and we feel that it is only right that his minis- ters 'should be commended for the spirit of co-operation with the municipalities as shown in the regulations. : </'There are two distinct phases to the regu- lations, both of them of different interest and benefit to Oshawa. First there is the provision that $4,000,000 of the money ap- propriated will be set aside for direct relief in cases where it is impossible to provide employment for the bread-winner. This will help to a large extent with the Oshawa situ- ation. With between two and three theus- and men out of employment or likely to be out of employment during the coming win- ter, it will be necessary for the city's social service and welfare department to expend much larger sums than in any pervious year for tbs giving of relief to families in distress. It will be necessary for voluntary welfare or- ganizations to provide for larger budgets than in previous years. With the Dominion government providing one-third of the cost of such municipal relief, and the possibility that the federal government will also pro- vide one-third, leaving only a third directly chargeable against the city, it will be pos- sible for Miss Farncomb, the city's relief and welfare officer, to exercise greater lati- tude than she has been able to do in, the past in providing necessities of life for fami- lies which are in need, knowing that the full cost will not have to be borne by the taxpay- ers., This will not, of course, mean anything like 'extravagance in giving relief, but it should make it possible for the city officials to deal more generously with cases of genu- ine need. The second phase of the regulations deals with works undertaken to provide unemploy- ment relief work. They provide that such works will be financed by the federal govern- ment providing 25 per cent of the funds, the provincial government 25 per cent, and the municipality 50 per cent, except that muni- cipalities which have unusually heavy fin- ancial commitments may secure a larger measure of federal and provincial assistance. This provision should make it possible for the, Oshawa city council to contemplate re- lief work on a larger scale than has here- tofore been planned. Mayor Mitchell the other day said that the council had set aside $125,000 for relief work. This amount, it is admitted, will not nearly solve the prob- lem. But "if the council is willing to spend , $125,000 for relief work, then it can secure 'a similar amount from the federal and pro- vincial governments, and so provide for work 'costing $250,000. The ratepayers of Oshawa must be prepared to face the fact that-the city is facing an unusual situation, one which calls for drastic remedial meas- ures, and that the expenditure of $125,000 of their money, along with an additional $125,000 from the federal and provincial - governments, might be well spent in pro- viding employment for the men now out of work... tren The main yosult of the regulations is that it makes it possible for municipalities to deal with _Ainemployment situations on a much more generous basis than would Be possible "in "the ordinary course of events. The next ) 80 far je Otway is concern- ed, rests ¥ 1; and it would "be a wise "of that body to hold a meeting as soon as possible Ppt doon Bic fb glean J, many Ais en can be undertaken, with i "assistance available, so . THE OSHAWA ASSOCIATED WELFARE A SOCIETIES : The organization of the Oshawa Associ- ated Welfare Societies on a permanent basis, accomplished at a meeting held last night, is an event of considerable importance in the 'history of Oshawa. There is an impression that the sole purpose of this society is to ve relief in cases of distress and need. le it is true that this is one df the func- tions of the saciety, and one which will be somewhat large in extent during the com- ing winter, that is only one phase of its work. "In recent years, there have been Wider de- velopments in community welfare service, with a view to removing some of the cduses of distress, as well as administering a palli- ative when distress is reported. The Oshawa Associated Welfare Societies has a broad field for its activities in this city. It will find plenfy of scope for its relief A partment in the next few months, but at the same time it will have ample opportunities for its practical work of improving home conditions, correcting situations that ought not to exist, and in a4 general way, supple- menting on a large scale the work which is done by the civic social welfare department, while working in the closest possible co- operation with that départment. The society has a serious problem to face, by the stress laid on the necessity of raising a sufficient fujd for its relief and welfare work. In the near future it will present its plans and make its appeal to the public for _ funds, and it is to be hoped that when that time comes the people of Oshawa will be ready to respond generously for a cause which means much to the well-being of Osh- awa and its people. UNWARRANTED CRITICISM The demand which came from a meeting of unemployed the other day, that Miss Farncomb resign her position as the city's social service and welfare official, was re- grettable, because it came from a gathering of people who had been mis-informed as to the details of at least one of the cases on which the demand was based. It is easy for persons with no responsibility to make incorrect statements as to what civic offi- cials are doing, and how they are carrying out the duties with which they are charged. But when investigation proves the incorrect- ness of these statements, and shows that a crowd of six hundred unemployed men have eobeen misinformed, the matter becomes a serious one. Few people realize the difficulties with which officials charged with relief and' so- cial service work are faced. Their position is far from being an enviable one, and no matter how conscientiously they may dis- charge their duties, they cannot escape cri- ticism from unthinking and misinformed people. That is why The Times has the most sincere sympathy with Miss Farncomb in the discharge of the duties of her office, and why we feel that an immediate retraction should 'be made of the false statements which were given to the meeting at Mem- orial Park on Thursday afferncon.. As we stated in an editorial in these columns two days ago, the meeting of the unemployed has not been a harmful thing, and might accom- plish some good if constructive ideas are allowed to prevail, But when they are made the medium for attacks on civic officials, attacks based on false assertions, then they will lose the sympathy of many who have felt inclined to give all the assistance pos- sible to those who are unfortunate enough to be out of work. AT THE TURN "We have reached the bottom and are at the turn." In these words, Sir Herbert Holt, president of the Royal Bank of Canada, a few days ago, opened a message of hope and good cheer to the people of Canada. And his words were echoed by Sir Charles Gor- don, president of the Bank of Montreal, an- other of Canada's outstanding financial in- stitutions, The statements of Sir Charles are worth quoting, as follows: "There is no stringency of money in the country. The trade of the country has suffered a setback, due in some measure to the low price of eommodi- ties, but there is a better feeling now, The revival is coming, but it will be gradual. There is plenty of money in the country for the business being done, and we are always ready to advance loans for legitimate commercial enter- prise. There should be a permanent im- provement in the volume of business one by the manufacturers of the coun- ry." When two men of the/position and know- ledge of Sir Herbert Holt and Sir Charles Gordon sponsor statements of that kind, then there is indeed hope that the corner has been turned, and that a definite upward trend in busi s has set ini. It may be true that the p towards 'prosperity may . be gradual, but'it is gratifying to know that the leading financial men of the country are agreed in believing that the: bottom has been reached, and that the tide has turned in the right direction, . rs - EDITORIAL NOTES, sir Charles Gordon, president. af the Bank" of Montreal, says there is plenty of money in the country.

SPLINTING THE SPINE One of the early lessons I learned about suspected tuberculosis was that where the symptoms were conflicting it was better to consider the case as tuberculosis than to make the mis- take of telling .a true tuberculosis case that he did not have the dis- case, The idea was the care the case would get for the ensuing months would be only of benefit even if he did not have the trouble whereas the delay in treating a true case of tuber- culosis might lose him his chance of recovery. Fortunately the ¢ ray, the blood sedimentation test, and other aids now help in making the correct diag- 10sis. However tuberculosis anywhere in the body is always uncerfain as to how quickly or how slowly it will in- crease or decrease in severity, And so in cases of tuberculosis of the spine. Should the cases be oper ated on oy should one wait to see how it will develop, Dr.' Fred H. Albee, New York, says "I have al- ways felt the profoundest regret in operating on these unfortunate pro- tracted cases that operation had not been undertaken long before and the patient spared years of invalidism, Since we cannot foretell, every case should be considered as likely to be unfavorable and so operate in every case," As you know Dr, for tuberculosis of the spine is to take a piece from the shin bone and by sawing a grove in the sharp pro- minence you can feel along the spinal column (back bone) he lays in this splint of bone from the shin, and it grows in place and so keeps the tuberculous hones of the spinal column apart, thus giving them a chance to heal Albee's operation Dr. Albee reports R65 cases on which he has performed this opera- tion; in 63 per cent the operation had been done from one to five years previously, and in 31 per cent it was from five to nineteen years. That is only 6 per cent had been done within the previous year. In 90 per cent of the cases the results were classified as excellent, and 8 per cent fair. I believe with results such as above parents should be willing to have their youngster undergo this opera- tion, which saves months, perhaps years of rest in bed. And for adults it is likewise good sense whether the trouble is due to tuberculosis, war or other injury, (Registered in accordance with the Copyright Act.) W. O. SMITH, EDITOR OF THE PUNXSUTAWNEY (PA. SPIRIT, SAYS: "There is one phase of advertising that ig seldom thought of by the av- crag€ person, and that is the phil- anthropic side. We all understand that advertising makes business and creates opportunities, but we seldom think of it as the most potent remedy for unemployment. "When any article or commodity is properly advertised, a demand is created for it that requires addition- al employees to fill. Factories are enlarged and new industrial plants built to supply the trade, More hands are needed by the manufac- turer, More salesmen and more clerks are required, and more trang. portation facilities must be® utilized. The consumer benefits by being in- troduced to a good article, the mer- chant benefits by increased sales, business is stimulated all along the line and there are more jobs for the unemployed."

(To be continued) What Others Say WAR TALK UNNECESSARY Dear Editor: Your referénce on the 22nd inst., to this subject may possibly be justified. To continue referring to the probability and awfulness of another war may be unwise; but to remain Mmdifferent to the possib- {lity of such a deplorable event, and apathetic In support of the only recognized means of averting it, is much more unwise. Dr. Smith, a well known divine from the United States, whose ut- terances at the General Council of the United Church you depre- cate, was moved to speak as he did by the seriious fact that the armed forces of Europe today are more formidable than they were in 1913. In confirmation of the same sentiment, Hon, . W. 'Rowell, whose knowledge and sanity in this connection perhaps compare well | with those of any other living Can- adian, writes "Nevertheless, while thus acknowledging the evidence of a new and better day, we can- not blind our eyes to the existence of conditions among the nations which contain the threat of war. The presence of immense standing armies, the development of great navies and the creation of mighty air-fleets cannot but be an occa- sion of unrest and constitute an ever present reminder that we have not yet passed from the menace of war." Mr. Rowell" adds--'"'That there exists among many Christian people a regrettable apathy towards this great question cannot be denied. Many church' members do not know and apparently do not care how it fares with the cause of Peace.... . . We recommend in particular that our people should seek membership in some local branch of the League of Nations Society." Speaking to a group of Oshawa men a few weeks ago that mature and genial scholar, Principal Hut- ton expressed the opinion that among world events the organiza- tion of the League of Nations would rank in importance second only to the birth of Jesus Christ. Intelligent statesmen are unan- imous in the belief that the cel- lapse of the League of Nations would make future wars inevitable. Without ample popular support the League must fail. It was hoped that as one result of Dr. Hutton's address many of the group who heard him would become members of the League. Not one, it is under- stood, responded in that practical way. If the alarmist words Dr. of Smith or others would incite us to helpful action for the preventipn of war, they might well be tolerdted. J.D. M. Oshawa, Sept, 24th, 1930. IS WAR TALK UNNECESSARY? Dear Editor: We were surprised and somewhat dismayed, at an editorial appearing in your {issue of September 22nd inst. It would seem to us that your editorials, which usually contain sentiments of wisdom and integrity, have taken a detour in this in- stance. You ask the question why "ministers of the Gospel" are in- clined to 'raise a scare" regarding "another war' and you seem to think such talk is "wasted eloqu- ence' and conclude that another war "is very improbable." If war is so improbable today, why is so much money being spent on Wrmaments after spending so much on a war which was to end war? Let us remind you dear sir, that general Sir Arthur Currie, com- mander in chief of the Canadian forces overseas in the late war, fis reported to have said since the war closed, "compulsory military training is bound to come in Can- ada." Also, the British ambassa- dor at Washington reported as say- ing, "England and the United Stat- es are treading the paths that lead Also, an eminent general in the United States reported as saying, Ywar between England and the United States is not only inevit- able, but it {8 near at hand." Again Sir John Jellico, Commander in Chief of the British Naval forces is said to have made the statement "England, with the help of her colonies, must maintain a fleet equal to that maintained before the war." These, and other similar state- ments, are not reported as sayings of our ministers: but from gentle. men who have the honor of hold- ing high official positions in our and other countries, These officials either really fear war, or else are striving to instil a sentiment of fear and distrust and consequent militarism in the hearts and minds of the peole of those countries. We would suggest, sir, that you drop them a line of re- buke. No, dear sir, we do not think | the remarks of our ministers are "sickening talk." but we are glad to know that at least some of them, and some laymen also are becoming alarmed at evidences of the foster. ing of spirit of militarism in our land, dnd have the courage of their deep-rooted convictions to declare that the old slogan, prepare for war In order to prevent it, should be buried so deeply as. never to be resurrected. They are endeav- 'oring to' stem the evident tide to- ward militarism by repeating over 'land over again the doctrine of peace and good-will to men and. nations. believing that they are the best sentiments to inculcate in the hearts and minds of people, and /| establish such prin¢iples as are embodied in the famous Rush-Ba- got treaty, May God bless them in thelr efforts. e were told on. entering the Great War, we were enMaging in war which was to end War; a war to make the state oracy; to crush militarism in Ger nm What a mockery of our pro féssion: what a mockery of the common fatherhood of God, if after spending so many millions of our monéy and sacrificing so many thousands of lives to crush militar. ism in Germany, we but establish it within our own borders. LABRADOR PEOPLE . - -------- Halifax, Sept. 27,~Three thou- sand , men, children, face starvation on the coast of Labrador during the com- ing Winter, unless the Government provides relief, said Capt. Samuel Cox, of Halifax, master of the schooner Silver Thread, which re- turned here yesterday from a trad- ing voyage to Labrador. This sea- son's codfishery was the worst ever exeprienced, he said. LIPTON WANTS T0 CHALLENGE AGAIN Says He Hopes to Return Before Long for Another Trial Lipton, in a prepared statement given out as he made a call on Mayor Walker at city hall yester- day, sald he would challénge again for the American Cup, most historic of all yachting trophies. FACE STARVATION |: women and | New York, Sept. 27--8ir Thomas | Sir Thomas did not set a defin- ite date for 'his return but sald he "hoped to he back before long for another trial." That part of his statement refer- ring to the challenge said: "To the trophies of many races my boats have won in many waters, I feel it Is a pity that I am not to add this year that blue ribbon trop- hy of international yacht racing, the American Cup. "But we Scotch-Irish, or Irish Scot, whichever you may prefer, do not easily give up and I think I can get back the generous spirit in which you have received me by saying IT hope to be back before long for another trial." SALES BY HYDRO ARE" SCORED IN WIND3OR (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Windsor, Sept. 27---=The entry of Hydro into the contracting field and the sale of electrical appliances by Hydro shops, has aroused opposition and chiticism from electrical contrac. tors 'and retailers in the border cities. It is charged the hydro practice is injurious to their business and that goods have been sold at prices which did not cover cost gnd that free ser- vicing was also given, which, it is claimed must have been paid for out of the general receipts of the hydro organization, One contractor says he has never seen a financial statement of a hydro shop and asks why.
