PACE FOUR THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1930 . The Oshawa Daily Times Succeeding THE OSHAWA DAILY REFORMER (Established 1871) .

Tresidder, representative, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 30th, 1930 A WISE ANNOUNCEMENT The directors of the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce acted wisely in announcing to the public that the chamber will not endorse the stock of any concern which seeks to market its stock on the ground that it in- tends to locate in Oshawa. That position is, of course, a sound one. Were any other attitude to be adopted, the directors would lay themselves open to all the reproaches which might result from the activities of outside interests seeking to use their names in pursuing their methods of high pressure salesmanship. The resolution passed by the board of di- rectors, and published in The Times yes- terday, defines very clearly their position in the matter. Through the Oshawa Indus- trial Foundation, Limited, it will be possible to aid reliable industries by the purchase of sites and the erection of factory build- ings, but there its activities cease. It has no power to finance or deal in the stock is- sues of any companies seeking to locate here, and any such companies seeking to sell their stock to the people of Oshawa must do so on their own initiative, without using the name of the Chamber of Commerce as an inducement to the people to purchase. The selling of mortgage securities by the Oshawa Industrial Foundation, Ltd., a pure- ly local concern, would be, of course, a much different matter from the selling of stock in an outside concern, particularly since that company will have its security in the land and in the buildings erected for any industry. It is unfortunate that salesmen, in their enthusiasm, are sometimes tempted to use the names of organizations such as the Osh- awa Chamber of Commerce in selling stock, 80 the announcement by the directors that they cannot and will not sponsor nor en- dorse any stock issue is a very timely warn- ing, both to such salesmen and to the citi- zens of Oshawa who might be inclined to buy stock on the understanding that it was endorsed by the local body. WORTH CONSIDERING It is reported, unofficially, of course, that the value of liquor sold by the Ontario Gov- ernment during the fiscal year ending Oc- tober 31, will be in the neighborhood of $564,- 000,000. While-this figure is slightly lower than for the previous year, yet it is a stag- gering total of money to be thrown away on the purchase of liquor. This is money, it should be remembered, which has been di- verted from what might be termed legiti- mate business, and given to what is legally, but by no means morally, a legitimate chan- nel for the spending of it. What a tremendous amount of good could have been done had it been expended in food, clothing, fuel, and the products of industries catering to the daily wants of the people. But there is the record. One wonders how 16ng the people of Ontario will put up with this foolish waste of money. One wonders how long people will continue to waste their substance on this vile stuff sold by the gov- ernment, instead of conserving it for a wiser and better use, It is time for a stock-taking by every individual who has been a purchas« er of liquor and beer, so that each one can figure out for himself just how much good he could have done with the money spent in the government stores and warehouses. We venture to say that if each individual made such a stock-taking, the result would be so astonishing as to make thousands decide not to renew their liquor permits. ADVERTISING FOR PROSPERITY The Canadian government has started an advertising campaign urging the people of Canada to give their patrongge to the pro- ducts of Canadian industries. But, in the opinion of several speakers of importance at the annual meeting of the Association of Canadian Advertisers in Toronto, the other day, this is not sufficient, for instance, El - mer Davis, president of the Canadian Manu- facturers Association, contended that manu- {acturers and retailers should follow up the government campaign by advertising spe- cific articles manufactured in Canada, in or- der to improve business conditions and em- ployment in this country, This view was - supported by Prof. E. H. Morrow, director of merchandising research for the MacLean Publishing Company, and by Harry B. Muir, managing director of the Kingston Whig- Standard. . : Mr. Muir's remarks were very pointed. The present was not a time, he said, to test "the value of advertising, because that had already been proven, But it was very sig- nificant that the outstanding leaders in in- dustry had deemed it wise to increase their advertising quota during the present busi- ness depression, and he believed that their judgment, which had brought them success in the past was reliable. Further, he said, through newspaper advertising money was put into circulation, and when that advertis- ing ceased, business was curtailed and money ceased to circulate. These statements, by outstanding men, are proven by experience. And what has been the experience of all men in business, no matter on how small a scale. Men who have succeeded have done so largely because they have recognized that advertising can make business better, and it is only the man who is content to let business drift, and to let it remain bad, who would think of cut- ting down on his advertising schedules be- cause business is a little harder to get. Sure- ly that is the time to advertise more inten- sively, because the man who makes that ef- fort is far more likely to secure the lion's share of what business is available than the Other Editor's Comments CANADIAN NUTS » (Renfrew Mercury) A Renfrew dealer has butternuts for sale, and in Kingston hickoty nuts can be purchased. Here are two Canadian nuts which are not only nutritious beyond the ordinary but in the matter of taste are in the front rank. Why not a cultivation of them? At present they grow at haphazard, and obviously the trees are not in- creasing in number; for who sees any trees except those that have been landmarks for many a year? The wood of both is valuable for commercial purposes. . The Ontario government, busy now with the planting of coniferous trees, might well take up the setting out of groves of butternut and hie- kory trees, No farmer could make any mistake by devoting an wucre or so of ground to the production of nuts of a kind that will grow in this country. There would always be a market for them, with prices remunerative. Besides, they would add to the pleasure of winteyon the arm. man who thinks he does not need it. BRITISH TEXT BOOKS TURN OF THE YEAR (London Sunday Express) This is the turn of the year. {While we regret the long outdoor The Ontario Chambers of Commerce and | evenings of summer, let us look for- ward with pleasant anticiation to Boards of Trade at their recent convention, [the indoor evenings of winter, There passed a resolution urging very strongly the | use of Canadian text books for history in the schools of the Dominion. This is by no means a subject for resolution. Fault has been found time and again by various or- ganizations with the text books which are in use in some of the provinces of Canada, the main objection being that they are writ- ten in the United States, with the viewpoint of that country, and make very little men- tion of the achievements of Canadian men and women. Now it appears that Canada is not alone in the British Empire in facing this problem. From Australia comes a note of strong pro- test against the use of United States history text books in the schools of that country. There might be a slight tissue of excuse for | United States books finding their way across the boundary into Canada, but it is hard to understand why Australians should have to be fed from a Yankee spoon in the matter of education in history. ' All this agitation, however, makes one wonder what is the matter with British writ- ers of history that text books cannot be pro- duced within the Empire for the Empire's children. Surely there are in Canada his- torians of sufficient ability to produce Cana- dian text-books which will be acceptable to all the provinces, which will give Canadian events and Canadian achievements the pro- per place in the teaching of children, so that they will develop a greater pride of country and of race. There has been talk of this for years, It is time that there was some action, and as a first step we would suggest that the various departments of education in the provinces of Canada should get together and make definite plans whereby truly Canadian text-books could be written, for use in the schools of every province in the Dominion. | THE PRICE OF BREAD Housewives have long since given up puz- zling why the price of bread is still the same today as it was when wheat was selling at nearly double the present quotations. But a Halifax despatch in a Toronto paper will make them ponder even more deeply on the question of why bread prices in most On. tario cities remain so high. The despatch is as follows :-- "Halifax, Oct. 21.--Reaching its low- est level here since pre-war days, the price of bread dropped to six cents a loaf, retail. The reduction is attributed to the steadily falling wheat market. Consumers are now. paying exactly half the price asked a month ago for a 24- {Is no leasure to equal the hours spent round a cosy fireside with your friends. | Bit of Humour | : CIGAR WISE "Now you fellows help yourself to the cigars," said the host, "They're a present my wife gave me for my birthday." had 'sworn off smoking.

Seems strange, doesn't it that in Hali- fax, the point in Canada farthest removed from the wheat fields, the price of bread should drop so sharply, while here in On- tario, for the most part there has been no reduction.

Barton, M.D. (Registered in accordance with the Copyright Act.) ANOTHER BODY TEST I have spoken before about what is called the metabolism test. Metabo- lism is the building up and breaking down ef the cells of the body, which is going on all the time as the pro- cesses of the body do their daily work. An average is taken of what the body should do when it is at abso- lute rest carly in the morning before breakfast--no digestion going on. If the amount of work being done is more than 15 per cent above the average for the height and weight of the individual, or is more than 15 per cent. less, then some reason is sought. It is usually. because the juice of the thyroid gland in the neck is too active or not active enough. And it is this test that has usually been tak- en in thyroid or goitre cases to de- termine whether or fot a portion of the gland should be removed by operation. Unfortunately the very thought of the test excites some individuals al- though the test is very simple, and tie rate of metabolism increases due entirely to this excitement. However European research men have been: trying to obtain another method of discovering the condition of the thyroid gland and the extent -- JOHN D. GOLD, EDITOR OF THE WILSON (N.C.)

A marked contribution to mod= ern progress has been made by Life Insurance. Among the advantages it afferds is that it enables a person to "create an estate immediately and pay for it later." For example: If you desire a $25,000 estate you can guaran tee it by depositing 29, per year. (Age 33, London Life Jubilee Annual Dividend Policy). Even if you lived to make only one deposit the London Life would deliver to your heirs the entire $25,000. Thus Life insurance makes it possible for you toset up an estate sufficiant to provide a life income for your wife--a fund for your later years--a monthly cheque if you are disabled -- or money for whatever other needs you may have.
