Yesterday's is- sue of The Times told of a number of men being given employment by a start being made on paving work, and on the grading which is being done at Alexandra Park. And it is expected that further paving work will be started in the very near future to absorb a further Wuota of the out of works. In yesterday's issue of The Times, too, there appeared an interesting advertisement, an advertisement calling for tenders for the construction of the subway on Simcoe Street South. These tenders must be in by October 13, so it is reasonable to suppose that short- ly after that date work on the subway- gill be started. : These projects, of course, wil not provide all the unemployed of Oshawa with work. {t would be futile to expect that they would. But they will help materially by giving work to many of those whose families are faced with the hardest circumstances. The policy of the civic officials in giving preference to those whose families are in real need and distress is the rght plan, and by following that line of action, relief will be provided where it is most necessary. The city council, however, need not im- agine that the problem has been solved by giving work to a score or two of men, There ave still hundreds looking. for employment, and it is the duty of the council, now that federal aid has been assured, to explore every possible avenue of work, in order that as many men as possible may be given em- ployment before the snow flies. SEEKING AMERICAN BRANCH FACTORIES With the oni into effect of Canada's higher tariff schedules, there has been a re- vival of interest in the possibilities of branch factories of United States industries locating. in this country. There is a general belief that Canada's protected market will induce United States manufacturers to come to this country with industrial plants, rather than lose the Canadian business which they have _ enjoyed in the past. This, of course, would be a good thing for this country, and would accomplish the very purposé which Mr. Ben- nett and his colleagues had in mind when they raised the tariffs. In some communities, the newspapers are urging those in authority to take vigorous action to share in this prospective accession of mew industries to Canada. It ought not to be necessary, in Oshawa, for The Times to do much urging. The Chamber of Com- merce and its aggressive secretary are al- ready fully aware of the possibilities that exist, and the people of this community can rest assured that that body, working in co- operation with the industrial committee of the city council, will leave no stone unturned to induce manufacturers to locate in Osh- awa. Results eannot be expected, of course, overnight, but if constant effort and plug- ging away at it can achieve results, then Oshawa should have its full share of what- ever industrial expansion is going on. . --UNJUSTIFIABLE EXAGGERATION - The Oshawa Times is well known to its community and throughout the province of Ontario generally as being unswervingly op- 'posed to the liquor traffic. In season and out of season, it has criticized and con- demned the government sale of liquor, and : 'which tended to make men waste 'their money on liquor. Its attitude is well known, and today it stands as firmly opposed to the liquor traffic as ever it did. In spite of this attitude, however, it 'has no sympathy with the statements which are by Dr. Clarence True Wilson, secre- tary of the United States Methodist Board of Temperance, in an article published in an American | e, dealing with the system "connection is available. following observations: "The system puts politics and the gov- ernment into complete partnership with the Huo traffic. When a government efficial tells how his system is working, he is now a liquor dealer talking in the interest of his trade. The government is controlled by liquor. The church is well-nigh silenced, the press is mute, the voice of the agitator is not ire in the land, because of an all-domipating, controlling and suppressing interest." Dr. Wilson goes on further to say: "Rum is supreme in Canada today. Few men with aspirations fer public slife will dare attack it. Patriotism swallows 'the dose; the church walks softly lest its loyalty to the state be put in question ; even the temperance organi- zations are making little noise. Liquor has put out their fires, silenced the preacher in the pulpit, muzzled the edi- tor at his desk, blindfolded the agitator." Surely, you will say, this man is not writ- ing about Canada. If so, then his own eye- sight and judgment must be perverted. It is a slander on the type of men in Canadian public life to say that the Canadian govern- ment is controlled Ry a liquor ring. It is a slander on the men"in the pulpit and at the editorial desk to say that they have been muzzled and silenced by the liquor traffic. Here, for instance, is one newspaper which can never be silenced or muzzled on this question, but that does not mean that it will swallow hysterical exaggeration.by a man who has taken an entirely wrong view of conditions in this country. The Times has always claimed that the people of Ontario spend far too much money on liquor, but it resents the assertion that "Rum is supreme in Canada today." That is not true--far from it. Dr. Wilson may have had some pur- pose to serve in writing the article which he did, but he is not helping the cause of tem- perance by his unjustifiable exaggeration of conditions as they are in Canada today. THE GREAT UNDEVELOPED NORTH It was a fascinating story which J. W. Curran, editor of the Sault Ste. Marie Star, vhad to tell to the members of the Oshawa Rotary Club at their meeting yesterday. It was the stoy of a great, undeveloped Empire which, although, as he phrased it, only the backyard of old Ontario, yet produced nine- ty per cent of the wealth of the province. Particularly did Mr. Curran impress his audience in speaking of the pessibilities of developing the iron industry of Northern Ontario. The fact that there are untold iron resources in the north waiting for develop- ment, coupled with the announcement that Canada's iron and steel imports from the United States amount to between three and four hundred million doliaré. a year, pro- vides food for thought, and makes one won- der what the progress of the north country will be when the great iron deposits there come under full development. It will be many years before that end is attained, but with interest, and financial interest, too, growing in the iron industry in Northern Ontario, there should be a progressive de- velopment that will add tremendously to the wealth of the whole province, for, as Mr. Curran pointed out, ninety per cent of the goods bought in the north country are manu- factured and produced in what is known as old Ontario, It was a highly enlightening address. Few people realize that the future of the north, based on iron, is indissolubly linked up with that of the older sections of the province, and that the greatest hope for the pros- perity of industry and agriculture in On- tario, lies in the opening up of the great mineral country north of Sault Ste. Marie, »Mr. Curran's address, delivered with his own inimitable type of dry humor, was a refreshing one, and left his hearers with something of his own clear vision of that which lies ahead of that vast Empire which is only waiting for development to become the centre of a busy and thriving population of hundreds of thousands of people. VALUE OF PORT Since the harbor at Oshawa was dredged and lake _ shipping has entered that port on Lake Ontario, busi= ness has picked up tremendously, There are 25,000 tons of coal storage available at the Oshawa wharf and twelve big cargoes are due to arrive there this month. Every available foot of wharfage has been taken up by various firms, and increased dockage facilities are already demanded. This development at Oshawa should be taken note of in this city and district. For a year or two past, there has been talk of dockage facilities on the Ship * Canal being established for the benefit of local ship- pers. But the problem has not been seriously ate tacked let alone definitely solved. Plans as yet are only nebulous, and there is conflict of opinion as to whether Port Weller should be taken into the city. or the development take place at Homer, Oshawa's harbor is not much nearer the city proper than is either Homer or Port Weller here, Radial This matter of harbor de- velopment to give St. Catharines all the benefit of direct lake shipping looks like a first hand subject of importance for the newly appointed Town Plan- ning Commission, combined of course, with the ques- tion of civic boundary' extension~St. Catharines Standard. g A EDITORIAL NOTES It is good to see Canad Canada's trade balance x J ( DAlance with the United States improve.

Other Editors' Comments THE PEST OF BILLBOARDS Chicago Tribune) While Europe drives the billboards from her hills and highways, America still wallows in the ruck of ugliness and the defacement of the natural landscape. By rigorous law in Italy, Germany, Austria, and elsewhere, Europe is cleaning up the country- side and the pest of signs and bill- boards is almost exterminated in a land that from the beginning never suffered as America has suffered in this field. Europe is cleaning up the highways in part to attract Ameri- can. tourists, America's highways, lined with bills and posters, drive the tourist abroad. : When America figures the cost in defacement, in traffic dangers and in general barbarism that billboards and unsightly shacks and venders' places impose on the country, action will be taken to drive them from the roads. The highways are costly properties. They are the nation's nearest parks and areas for recrea- tion, To lower their value and de- face them by billboards has no ex- cuse. England and France, Belgium, Japan are taking action against bill- boards. When will America do like- wise? THE MEN WHO "SAVED THE PARTY." (Ottawa Journal) The man "who saved the party" is much in evidence these days, He is so much in evidence that ministers of the new government cannot get into or out of their offices without falling over him. Ottawa, in fact, is being overrun by a type that is among the penalties of democracy; by men whose only idea of politics and government appears to be that when one ministry gives way to an- other the time has come for them to cash in on their so-called party loyalty. This sort of precious per- son, an affliction of all parties, is one of the tribulations of democracy. Also a millstone about the necks of those who, laboring under difficulties, are trying fo do their best for the country, IS THE TIDE TURNING? (London Sunday Express) One of the heartening signs of the reinvigoration of British indus- try is the way in which the motor- car manufacturers are planning for prosperity. They are cutting their pricés and improving their products, In this way they will increase sales and put the whole of their vast en- terprises on the up-grade, They are using the pages of the -national press to show the country that they look confidently and buoyantly into the future This is happening in an industry where competition is peculiarly keen, Motor ear manufacturers would have a better excuse than most industrialists for putting on their coats and sitting down to await better times, They are, on the contrary, taking off their coats and setting themselves absolutely to bring better times by their enter- prise, This example is one that is per- meating the country, The city has responded to the first whisper of reviving confidence. Hope is abroad that a general election in the autumn will mark the end of the post-war drift In political leadership, and that politi. cians also will bend to the national task of hastening better times in- stead Of awaiting them, The British nation is a nation of optimists. The habit of looking on the brighter side' spreads infecti- ously when once it is given play, There are many people who will go to work to-morro and many who have no work to go to---~who will ask themselves with a new cheer. fulness, "Is the tide turning at last?"

Barton, M.D. THE HEART AND THE THY. ROID GLAND In: examining recruits for the army, the condition of the heart was of course, carefully noted. Very often we came across recruits with very rapid hearts--beating 100 to 120 to the minute--and yet with apparently no symptom of any real heart ailment, That this rapid heart might really he due to thyroid trouble, goitre, en- largement of the gland in front part of neck, was always the first thought and so the other three symptoms were sought. : "These are, first, a trembling of the fingers when the hands are stretched forward at arm's length in line with the shoulders. This trembling is eas- ily detected. Second, ® bulging of the eyeballs which can be noted if the patient stands sideways, Third, the enlargement of the thy- roid gland in the neck. Where these, four symptoms--rapid heart tremor, bulging eyeballs, and enlarged thyroid gland--were noted, the recruit was rejected and advised to see his doctor, Now a number of these cases, by seeing their physician and undergo. ing treatment=iodine, rest, X ray, and so forth, were cured of this con- dition, However there are some cases that undergo all this treatment and yet the condition persists. They are ad- vised that surgery is their only chance, but naturally they hesitate. In former days it was the skill of the surgeon that meant so much to the patient, but now this operation has become so common that it is not necessary to travel thousands of miles to have it performed. In every city or town of fair size, there are surgeons capable of doing this work safely and skillfully. And so today it is the condition of the patient, not the skill of the sur« geoh, that is most important, Dr. K. E, Bach, Berlin, has ana- lyzed sixty of these cases which un- derwent operation of which number seven terminated fatally, And in all these seven cases the heart was the cause of death, having just about reached the stage of failure or had gone beyond it. ' In other words, the heart is the big factor, which means that the strength, and then if the other meth. ods-iodine, X ray and so forth-- are of no avail, the operation shouid be undergone, before the heart mus- cle gets too weak.

"Next to a broiled eel shop of Tokyo long ago there moved a thrif- ty soul who loved the smell of this delicacy being cooked. "So every evening after his bath he would sit by his upstair's window and sniff the fragrance of the broil. ed eels which rose to his nostrils, "Now after about a year of this sort of thing, the eel shop-keeper, who was an avaricious fellow, pre- sented a bill one fine.morning to his neighbor to the following purport: |" "'For sniffing 33,709 eels be- ing broiled at so many one hundredth of a Mon, total due so many picces of gold.
