New York and Chicage THURSDAY, OCTOBER 16th, 1980 _ ANOTHER NEW INDUSTRY It is highly appropriate that one of the features of the observances of Prosperity Week should be the announcement that the Vitimin Milling Company, headed by w. B. Brooks; of Toronto, has purchased a site on the city's industrial area on Simeoe Street South, and has lst the contract for an up- to-date milling plant. This, of course, means another addition to the city's list of indus. tries, largely through the activity of the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce and its ag- gressive secretary, B. J. McCormick. And every new industry means more employ- ment for the workers of Oshawa. More than that, the construction of the factory, which, it is stated, is to be established im- mediately, will provide employment to both laborers and skilled artisans at a time when it is greatly needed. . von y facioty feature "about the Vitimin Milling Company is that it is not a seasonal industry which has to close down during the winter months. Its product is one which is in demand all the year round, so that it is reasonably sure of being in op- eration twelve months in the year, so that, even if it does not employ a large number of men, in comparison with some other indus- tries in the community, it will have the ad- vantage of giving steady work, something 'which is highly desirable. The same is true, also, of the other industry, the Wastman Machine Company, which was located in the city 'a few weeks ago. Its products are ar- ticles for which the greatest demand is dur- ing the fall and winter months, so that it will be giving employment at its peak dur- ing 'the off season of some other local in- yy the efforts which the Chamber of Commerce is putting forth are bearing fait in the right direction, by the securing fie dustries of .a diversified character, an a subject to' any serious seasonal slumps. 5 securing these two industries alone, the Cham f Commerce has more than jus- per d there is every reason i its existence, an ic that these will be the foreraunes of others as soon as Catads again starts for- wave of expansion. ors a joins with the citizens of She awa in welcoming the Vitimin Milling ¥ pany, and in wishing it well.

There are two striking factors in the statement of United States trade just is- sued from Washington. One of them is very creditable to Canada, while the other is an indication of the business opportunities which are being lost because of the lack of a proper system of Intra-Empire trade. In the first place, Canada has lost its po- sition as the greatest' customer of the United States. That used to be a stock argument 'of those opposing higher United States tar- iffs. They pointed out that Canada was a profitable market for United States goods, that Canada bought more goods from the United States than did any other customer. That statement no longer holds good. In the month of August, by reason of a de- crease of over $28,000,000 in exports to Can- ada, this country took second place in the list of United States customers, This was the fourth successive month in which Can- ada's purchases from the United States dropped by over $20,000,000 as compared with the previous year, and this is a highly satisfactory condition, since it means that Canadians are not sending their money over the line to anything like the extent which they did formerly. : But the second phase of the report is also worthy of attention. The place formerly held by Canada as the best customer of the United States now goes to Great Britain. Britain spent over $53,000,000 in the pur- chase of United States goods in the month of August. There is an expenditure Which might well make Canadians wonder how much of that money might reasonably have been spent in this country. With a proper system of Empire trade and preferences in effect, a large amount of that $58,000,000 might have come to Canada, instead of go- ing to the United States. That is the situ- ation 'which the government of Canada should consider very seriously in its efforts for intra-Empire trade arrangements. It might be worth while to make some sacri- fices to help Britain in order to secure a sub- stantial portion of the British money now being spent in the United States. A GOOD SUGGESTION The Owen Sound Sun-Times, in discussing the new $100,000,000 Dominion of Canada loan which has just been floated, comes. for- ward with a suggestion that is worthy of being developed. It suggests that this loan should be divided up into bonds of small de- nomination, so that the average small in- vestor in Canada could take advantage of the offering as a means of making a safe invest- ment. The government, naturally, followed the easiest method of financing its require- ments, but the people of Canada have in past years shown their desire to participate in the raising of loans issued by their gov- ernment. As the Sun-Times points out, during the war Victory Bonds were available in amounts as low as $50. The average citizen was en- couraged to invest small amounts in these bonds with the result' that a demand was created for small denominations in securities, and the sma]l investor was able to take up a very large part of these Government is- sues. Under present conditions there is little else for the small investor, if he is not satis- fied with ordinary bank interest, but to in- vest his money in stocks and bonds that can- not be classed *"A-1," and he is often at the mercy of unscrupulous salesmen. The Government would bé doing a valu- able service to the people of Canada if they would carry out their financing jn Canada, and at the same time issue bonds in small amounts available for the small investor. EDITORIAL NOTES King George has just bought five new motor cars. If a sufficient number of our. wealthy Canadians would do the same, Pros- perity Week would last for a long time in Oshawa. By reading the advertisements of local merchants, the people of Oshawa can help to make their own community more pros- perous, and an at the same time save just as much, if not more, money than by buying elsewhere. 4 The new pensions tribunals have been ap- pointed, but disabled veterans whose claims have been held up for months pending its appointment, are becoming somewhat sick of the delay which has been caused by the cre- ation of the new pensions machinery. An Oshawa bank manager makes a plea" for politeness on the part of those seeking favors. It will be interesting -- to the bank managers--to note the response to this plea. Dollars are sure to go farther when they are spent in home town stores. Just see how many times the travelling dollar bill changes hands in Oshawa every day. "Why ate the Blue Devils Blue?" aska the office boy. And the answer is, "Because "they were given such scanty support by the sportsmen of Oshawa last Saturday." It is to be hoped that the police' will be" able to locate the person who is causing so many fires in Harmony. Pyromaniacs are . far too dangerous to be allowed to remain at large, . ! Other Editors' Comments SOMEBODY MUST HANG ABOUT / (Detroit Free Press) 7A Megan Lloyd George says n hink enrages her more than the asser- tion that woman's place is in the home. Very sad. But after all, somebody simply must be in the home more or less if there is to be any home; and just whom does the fair Megan think ought to hang around there? Does she believe it should be the man of the house? It her papa had done so, what would have. happened to England a few years ago? WHO MADE THEIR MARKETS? (Marketing, Toronto) "A high and constant duty is essential," a Canadian soup manu- facturer is quoted as saying, "to offset the effects of advertising by American competitors." Foreign soup was always a "'problem' be- cause of the heavy advertising it received in this country. How much of a market for can- ned soup did Cenadian canners en- joy before Campbell advertising created the demand for it--a de- mand which Canadian brands have shared, Will Canadian manufacturers de. velop their own effective advertis- ing way, or look upon the effective- ness of others' advertising as a "problem" which only higher tariffs can meet?

Many of the other convicts are more interested in passing the erit gate than an examination, AS SEEN IN NEW YORK (New York Times) Mr. Bennett's speech, almost in the nature of an ultimatum, must leave the Labor Government in England more nonplussed than ever. It has tentatively put forth certain trade projects of its own. One of them, as described by the Minister of Dominions, Mr, Thomas, is for what is called "bulk pur- chases" of Dominion products by the British Government, under a "quota" system. But this, too, was brushed aside by Mr. Bennett. He stated that all these plans had been carefully studied by the Can- adian delegates,' but that he was bound to inform the Imperial Con- ference that '"'none of them can be accepted by Canada as alternatives at all likely to achieve the purpose we have in mind."

WEEKLEY, EDITOR OF THE ENNIS (TEXAS) DAILY NEWS AND FOUR ASSOCIATED WEEKLIES, SAYS: "Though a man may belong to the Chamber of Commerce and all the service clubs of the town and may prate loudly and long about build- ing up the home town, yet if he goes away from home to buy his supplies he is 'as a sounding. brass and a tinkling cymbal. "Though he shout from the house- tops his loyalty to his home town, yet if he spends his money elsewhere he registers a denial of all his pro- fessions.

(Copyright, 1928) THE RELATION OF DEFECTIVE EYES TO HEALTH Part "1" \ In speaking of the relation of de- fective eyes to health there are a few important things to be considered namely : Eye strain and defective eyes. Depleted nerve energy or wasted nerve energy due to eye defects. Effect of defective vision on mem ory, vision being mental. Nerve derangements affect the muscles and it has been found that consideration of muscular errors was the means of relief to ' stomach trouble, dizziness, specks migraine, neurasthania, . Fhose getting over a nervous break down show some of the above symptoms as do those when the break is pending. Bad lighting conditions, Disease and weakness, over use of the eyes, improper nourishments and insanitary conditions. Some of these are in themselves sufficient causes of poor health, but when linked with improper use of the eyes or with use of the eyes as is necessary in some occupations the trouble is pronoun- ced. (To be continued.) BETHESDA WERRY-COLE Sunny Slope Farm, the home of Mr, and Mrs. James T. Cole, was the scéne of a pretty autumn wedding on Saturday afternoon when their daughter, Alberta Sophia, became the bride of Ernest Arthur Werry, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Werry, of En- niskillen. Rev. J. R. Trompour conducted the ceremony, while the wedding music was played by Miss Nora Johns of Thornhill, The marriage took place before a window banked with ferns and chrysanthemums, autumn flowers were in profusion and greenery fes- tooned. The bride, who was given in mar- riage by her father, wore a becom- ing gown of ivory chiffon with yoke of cut velvet; her veil was of Ivory net falling from a Juliet cap of or- ange blossoms; she carried roses and lily of the valley, The groom's gift to the pianist was a handsome bracelet of crystal and sapphires. The tea room was made attrac- tive with pink candles and pink roses. A dainty buffet supper was served by the girl friends of the bride. Later the happy couple left for St. Thomas and other western points. The bride travelled in a brown coat with fox trimming, hat and dress accessories to match. On their return Mr. and Mrs. Werry will reside North of Ennis- killen, CLAREMONT BRIEFS Claremont, Oct. 14.--Mr. and Mrs, M.. J. Wilker, of Toronto, spent the week-end in Claremont. Mr, and Mrs. H.
