Tresidder, representative. MONDAY, NOVEMBER 38rd, 1930 ONE MORE WEEK Thanksgiving is only a week ahead. A "month ago The Times inaugurated a cam- _paign in which those citizens who had not suffered from the industrial and business de- pression were asked to make it a real Thanksgiving for all the people of Oshawa by giving an unemployed Oshawa man a job. The response to this appeal has been excellent. It is impossible to estimate the number of men who have been able, as a re- sult of this campaign, to earn a few dollars by honest labor, thereby providing the necessities of life for families which would otherwise have been in want. Yet the re- sponse, good as it was, fell far short of meet- ing the needs of the situation. Thanksgiving is now only a week away. It is tragic to contemplate the number of families which will have no cause for thanksgiving at the holiday season--unless the citizens of Oshawa make this week one of real effort to provide casual employ- ment for every possible unemployed man. There are dozens of seasonable jobs which are now démanding the services of a man willing and anxious to work. There are hun- dreds of citizens who are in a position to have these jobs done by. unemployed men. The time is short, so we appeal to these citi- zens to make the most of it, to make it pos- sible for every unemployed man to earn some money next week, so that there will be a thanksgiving dinner on the table and thankful hearts in every Oshawa home, It is a big thing to ask, perhaps, yet when taken in individual cases, it is not so big after all. It only requires co-operation on the part of every citizen who can afford to give an unemployed man a job, even if only for a single day. So if those who are em- ployed, who have much for which to be thanl:ful, will only, during the present week, share what they have with those less for- tunate, not by giving or charity, but by pro- viding work for at least one man, Thanks- giving can be made a truly happy season in this city. A MUNICIPAE GOLF COURSE The Chat*«m Daily News, observing the suctess whic has been attained by the municipal golf course in Brantford, is strongly' advocating the establishment of a similar course in that city. Of course we can fully understand the Chatham editor's anxiety on this subject. He himself is an ardent devotee of the royal and ancient game, and anyone who wants to see him after the paper goes to bed any summer afternoon between May and November will find him chasing the little white ball out on the course of the Chatham golf club. We have often envied him his leisure, but that is neither here nor there. The idea in itself is an excellent one, and even Osh- awa might find plenty of people who would be delighted to see a municipal golf course established here, so that all citizens could enjoy the game of golf at a nominal fee. The miniature golf courses have increased interest in the game of golf to a remark- able degree, and scores of those who have learned the finer points of the putting game would readily transfer their affections to . the regular game of golf if a municipal course were available. . It would be, of course, no small project. In Brantford the parks commission owns and operate a nine-hole golf course. It costs : $30,000 in capital expenditure. Its annual revenue at present is about $6,600. Those who so desire can become members at an annual fee of $15.00, or $12.50 each for two members of one family. There are 85 citiz- "ens of Brantford who have taken advantage of the privilege of doing so, Others, how- ever, can play on the municipal course at a fee of 25 cents for the nine holes, thus mak- ing it available to all classes of citizens, and particularly to those who cannot afford the fees of the more exclusive golf and country clubs. The idea of establishing a municipal golf course in Oshawa would, naturally, have to be given a great deal of careful considera- tion. The question of location is a highly important factor, since that would have its effect on. the cost of the projects. It is not a matter that can be dealt with at once, nor in the immediate future, yet the idea has its merits, and might well be kept in mind for sume future date when conditions are more suitable for carrying it out. ONTARIO COUNTY FIRST A little news item in the newspapers on Saturday announced that an Ontario county beekeeper had won first prize for honey at the British Fair Show, held last week in London, England. Many people will fail to realize the significance of this honor, which was won by P. J. Francis, of Cannington, Ontario. The British Dairy Show is an old- | estahlished institution, and in recent years it has become the showplace for the farm and orchard products of the whole Empire, with all the overseas Dominions competing "against each other and against the Mother Country for supremacy from the standpoint of quality. Thus Mr. Francis has won the honor of being the outstanding producer of honey in the British Empire. This honor, while it means much to him individually, means even more to Canada. It advertises in the world's best 'market, the fact that Ontario honey is in a class by it- self for quality, that the Canadian product is the best in the Empire, for it is noted that second place in the competition was also won by an Ontario man. / It takes effort and brains to produce any kind of article to win at the British Dairy Show, and our congratulations are offered to Mr. Francis for the outstanding distinec- tion he has brought to himself and to Ontar- io county. THEFTS AND THEFTS It will be decidedly interesting to watch the outcome of the case in Toronto in which the provincial deputy-minister of labor is charged with stealing a dress valued at $15.- 00 from a store. He admits the theft, and makes the plea that it was perpetrated in a moment of mental aberration. This plea may secure him his freedom, or escape from a penalty, and on the other hand it may not, but no matter what the result may be, the case has interesting possibilities. For instance, suppose a man out of work, and whose wife had no dress at all to wear, had committed an offence of this kind, he might very well make a plea of mental aber- ration but we fear not enable him to escape the consequences of his actions. As a mat- ter of fact, in most cases of theft committed on the spur of the moment, under circum- stances of stress and hardship, there might very well be a plea of mental aberration, for when men see their wives and families suf- fering from want, it is not surprising that they become abnormal beings mentally, - The case, however, is still before the courts, and cannot be made the subject of comment in itself. Nevertheless, it will be decidedly interesting to watch the outcome. MODERN BUSINESS ETHICS An interesting example of the new spirit of modern business ethics was noticed in the Toronto newspapers the other day, on the occasion of the opening of the new build- ing of the T. Eaton Company, Limited. On that day, in the advertising space of the Robert Simpson Company, there appeared the following notice: "The Robert Simpson Company, Limited, extends best wishes and felicitations to the T. Eaton Company, Limited, upon the occa- sion of the opening, today, of their new Col- lege Street Building." ; As is well known, these two firms are strong competitors. They have grown up side by side as the keenest of business rivals yet it is refreshing that the one company can take time in the midst of business strug- gle, to pay its tribute to its competitor, and wish it success. That is indeed a fine spirit which illustrates the high code of ethics which has become a part of modern business relationships, A SUCCESSFUL RAILWAY The Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway has concluded its financial year by forwarding to the provincial government cheque for $850,000, representing the net profits on the railway's operation for the last twelve months. In view of the business conditions during that period, this showing is highly commendable, and shows that the railway into the north country is rendering a splendid service to the province, for with- out that service there could not be the pro- fits which have been possible. In fact, even if the railway did not return a cent of profit to the province, by which it is owned, it would still be a worth-while en- terprise. Its main function is not to make profits, but to open up the northern country and give the people up there a transportation service which is not available for them in any other way. The railway taps the rich areas of mineral resources which lie north of the great trans-continental railways, and it serves the people who are pioneering in what is eventually destined to be the great- est wealth-producing section of the province. But when a railway can give this kind of service, and at the same time produce a pro- fit which is very near to one million dollars a year, then the people of Ontario have good reason to feel satisfied with the manner in which their railway is being operated. EDITORIAL NOTES The Cornwall Freeholder' recently issued a very fine Industrial Edition on the occa- sion of the annual convention of the Ontario Associated Boards of Trade and Chambers of Commerce. This edition set forth the manufacturing activities of the town in splendid fashion, and makes one wonder how soon Cornwall will be seeking an entry into the list of Ontario's cities. ' If a name counts for anything, Sir. Arthur Currie should be a popular visitor in India when he goes there for the inauguration. of the country's new capital. Toronto and the provincial government are to have a battle as to the ownership of the $250,000, ios imposed on Solloway and Mills. And the people from: whom the money was taken will be left standing aside as spectators: Other Editor's Comments TITLES IN CANADA (St. Catharines Standard) The Standard has always held that the Nickle resolution in the Bor- den Government prohibiting titles went too far. It was quite correct to stop any tendency toward hereditary titles, but a Knighthood by any Cana- dian of recognized value to the na- tion can be worn with dignity and there should be such an inspiration to a man of science, politics, philan- thropy and other directions of hu- man endeavor to attain marked re- cognition from the Crown. There have been cases where wealth has been honored, which are regretable to considerable degree, because these titles have been bestowed for politi- cal preferences. As a matter of fact, Lloyd George killed the title business when he, as Premier, dished out so many. The occupation has been re- stored to its former dignity since re- LOCAL LABOR FOR LOCAL WORKS (Brantford Expositor) It should be the care of the muni- cipal authorities to see that their {own people are given the preference in work progressing under their jur- isdiction.

FOUR HAVE NARROW ESCAPE FROM FIRE | Windsor, Nov. 3.--Mrs. Filomena Grimaldi, her daughter, Mrs. Frances Paolucci, her one-day old daughter Filomena, and a 16 month old son, Johnnie, narrowly escaped suffoci- tion and serious burns when fire broke out in the basement of the house where they resided. The fire had a strong start before it was dis- covered. Mrs. Grimaldi broke a window, assisted Mrs. Paolucci to make the six-foot drop to the ground and then handed the baby and the little boy to her care. The grand mother then made her escape by way of the same. window. NEW TUNNEL TO BE NAMED "FLEETWAY" Windsor, Nov. 3.--Announcement has been made that the name select ed for the new Detroit-Windsor tunnel is the Fleetway as the result of a competition for the choice of name conductor by a Detroit news paper, John IT, Willis of Detroit DEPARTMENT OF TRADE AND COMMERCE OTTAWA, CANADA To Retail Merchants, Everywhere in Canada. Yours is a Grave Responsibility! November 1st, 1930, do about it? about it? Canadian farms. farmers. nuts and raisins Canada. up? Some day soon you will be called upon by a commercial traveller who is going to do his best to sell you some foreign-made goods. To avoid generalizations, and to get down to a typical concrete case, let us suppose you are a grocer, and that the traveller wants to sell you some well advertised line of canned vegetables. tables will soon need replenishing in any event; you have occasionally had customers enquire for that particular brand, so you would anticipate no difficulty in selling it; and the price quoted you is one that appears to offer you a satisfactory margin of profit. Before answering that question, just remember please that in succeeding days you will have many other commercial travellers call upon you, trying to sell you foreign-made pickles, foreign-made salad dressings, foreign-made biscuits, foreign-made cheese and a host of other imported products--some under brand names made familiar to your customers through advertising, and all at prices that give you a chance of increas- ing your margin of profit. So again I ask what are you going to do Admitting for the sake of argument that you enhance your reputation for enterprise if you are always able to supply your customers with any brand they choose to ask for, is it wise of your customers to be spending their money for foreign-made foods instead of Canadian-made foods? And if it isn't, is it wise of you to make it easy for them to do so? With a few exceptions, nearly all Canadian-made foods originate on The more your customers favour Canadian-made foods, the busier Canadian farmers will be producing the materials from which those foods are made. And the busier Canadian farmers are, the better it will be for all other classes, including of course your customers, whose prosperity rises and falls with the prosperity of the ""Quite so," you may say, 'but I have to buy a lot of imported merchan- dise in any event. I have to buy oranges, and lemons, nuts and raisins, tea, coffee, cocoa, spices, and scores of other things. A little more or a little less is not going to make a particle of difference to Canada's pros- perity one way or the other. ' You may think it won't, but just let us look a little miore closely at those items you have mentioned. Granted you have to stock oranges, lemons, all imported--in order to give your customers the service they demand of you, does it necessarily follow that just because the other articles are also of foreign origin, there is no room for intelli- gent discrimination in your purchasing of them? In Canada's interest, 1s it not better for you to stock tea that has been blended and packaged in Canada, by Canadian labour with Canadian materials, than tea that has been blended and packaged in some other country? Isn't it better to stock coffee that has been roasted and ground in Canada, than coffee that comes into this country all ready prepared? And if, when stocking merchandise that is necessarily made out of foreign materials, it's better to stock brands that had been packaged or otherwise prepared in Canada, how much more important it is when stocking merchandise like canned vegetables, that coyld be as acceptably out of Canadian materials, always to give the preference to" the brand that is produced in Canada throughout? When a customer asks for an imported brand, that you know is no better than--perhaps not as good as----a Canadian brand of the same thing, at an equal or lower price, what are you going to do about it--enter into a friendly argument to show her the error of her way, or follow the course of least resistance by giving her what she wants? Let us suppose that all your customers began buying foreign-made foods and that you, with no thought of the consequences, ceased stocking Canadian-made foods in order to cater to the changed demand. And let us further suppose that your competitor across the street began doing the same thing at the same time for the same reason, and that the move- ment spread to other towns and cities till it became general right across Wouldn't the food factories of this country soon have to close And with their closing, wouldn't our farming industries suffer a severe blow? And with our farmers in the doldrums wouldn't it be only a short time before your customers began to buy less, and to go in debt with you for what little they did buy? So again I ask you what answer are you going to give that commercial traveller when he comes in to book your order for a line of imported canned vegetables? It's worth a lot of very careful thought, isn't it? Verv sincerely yours, Mor. Minister of Trade and Commerce. Your stock of canned vege- What are you going to de just and Michael J.

Desrochers, a former dentists' assistant but without license to prac- tice on patients, was fined $200 and costs or three months in jail. It was a second offence, According to the evidence Desroch- ers took possession of a dentist's of- fice on Bleury street, at a time when he knew the proprietor would be ab- sent for some time, He donned a white coat and waited for customers. A young woman came to the office and Desrochers filled two teeth for, her. She made an appointment for next day and on arrival discovered the real dentist on duty. She asked for Desrochers and refused to have any work done unless she could have the same dentist, his work having proved exceptionally satisiactory, Investigation resulted in Desroch- ers' arrest. The accused had. been convicted of the same offence in 1923.
