Tresidder, representative, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 6th, 1980 SITUATION IMPROVING It is very noticeable that the daily crowd outside the employment office on Bond Street West has diminished in numbers to 8 very appreciable extent, Instead of scores of men being seen there, waiting on the chance of securing employment, only a scat- tered few are to be seen, The rest are at work, The city's relief labor program has absorbed a few hundreds, and the inaugura- tion of activity at the plant of the General Motors of Canada, Limited, has enabled many others to rejoin the wage-earning class, It is safe to say that today there are fewer un- employed men in Ohsawa than has been the case for many months, and it is to be hoped that this condition continues, This situation, it appears, is becoming general as the relief work programs of the governments and municipalities get under way, The wide-spread publicity given to the unemployment situation has caused it to be dealt with in a serious manner, and the re. sults have been satisfactory. Public atten. tion has been so forcibly directed to the plight of the unemployed that unusual ef- forts have been put forth to get them back to work, It is interesting to note the view taken by H. C, Hudson, general superintendent of the Employment. Service of Canada for Ontario, He has asserted that the winter outlook at the present time is not nearly so serious as it was in 1921, when there was a condition of depression even worse than that which oxists today. While it may not help an un- employed man very much to tell him that he is not so badly off as he might have heen nine years ago, yet it is being proven day after day that Mr, Hudson has the right view of things, Work is coming back, busi- ness and industry are improving, and there is a decided hope that winter conditions in this country will not be as bad as they were expected to be, ------ GREAT MEN COMING SR 'There is particular interest for the city of Oshawa in the announcement that the bien- nial conference of the British Empire Ser- vice League is to be held in Canada next August. The council of the B,E.8,L, is timed to assemble at the same time as the Ontario Provincial Convention of the Canadian Le- gion is being held in the city of Oshawa, just before the opening of the Canadian National Exhibition, and already steps are being set in motion to have all the delegates from the 28 countries represented in the British Em- pire Service League attend at least some of the sessions of the provincial convention here, This means that Oshawa will be visited next August by a group of men whose names will live in the history of the British Empire. From Britain there will be such men as Admiral Jellicoe, Major-General Sir F, B, Maurice and the Earl of Haddington; from Australia General the Hon, Sir Gran- ville de L, Ryrie and Major-General J, H. Bruche; from India Col, Sir R, W, L, Dunlop; from South Africa Col, Sir Rhys Price, and 80 on one could go down the list naming the distinguished soldiers and sailors who will be coming to Canada for this event. Their lists of decorations would fill many paragraphs of type. It will be a decided privilege to Oshawa to be able to welcome such men, and their pres. ence here is assured by the fact that the business of the Canadian Legion is their business, since it is an important section of the British Empire Service League, When the local branch of the Legion was able to secure the 1931 provincial convention for Oshawa, it was known that it would be a great event, but this latest development . means that it will be the most brilliant Le- jon convention ever held in Canada, and shawa is fortunate that its year is in 1981, EMPIRE TRADE IDEA GAINING - The bye-election in the South Radding- ton constituency will long he remembered in British political history as the firat in which a candidate of the Empire Free Trade party was elected." It was a notable victory, for the winner was oped by two other Con. servatives and a Labor 'candidate, yet was able to win the seat as a Conservative fav. oring. the Empire Free Trade policies of Lord Beaverbrook. In the short time in which Beaverbrook's licy has been before the people of Great Britain, it has won a large following of pub. \ic support. It has, to some extent, captured the public imagination, even although the peineiples on which it is based have been definitely rejected by the representatives of the overseas Dominions, and have been just 88 definitely rejected by the present British overnment, which hss set its face against ing taxes on foreign foodstuffs fn order to give trade preferences to the Do- mingons: in th here of the I d in the atmosphere of the Imperial Conference, with all its proposals and count- er-propossls for the development of Empire Trade, the bye-election was not, perhaps, a fair test of the public mind on the question of Empire Free trade, Yet it is a beginning for Beaverbrook, and the result shows that the Empire Crusaders will have to be reck- oned with very seriously in the next British general election, whenever it may be held, ANOTHER OPEN DOOR The opening of the tunnel between De- troit and Windsor marks the opening of s new doorway between Canada and the Unit- ed States, The tunnel was built as 8 matter of business economy, for the purpose of re- lieving the congestion, of traffic moving from one country to the other, It Is an interest- ing thing to note that the traffic Between the two countries should be so great in volume as to necessitate new arteries through which it can flow, Save for the customs and im- migration officials, there are no harriers be- tween the passing to and fro of the people of the two nations, and these barriers of offici- aldom, have. no terrors for those who are crossing the border in a legitimate way on legitimate business, It has not taken long to complete this tunnel, It is only a few years since it was first contemplated, This is in distinct con- trast to the oft-repeated proposals for the building of a tunnel under the English Chan. nel between England and France. This plan has been favored by engineers and has been declared an economic possibility, but the mil- itary officials of Britain have set their faces steadfastly against it, The fears of inva- sion, and of its possible use in time of war have been sufficiently great to prevent the scheme ever becoming anything more than an engineer's dream, It is significant that such considerations never entered the minds of the people of Canada and the United States when the De- troit-Windsor tunnel was planned, The peo- ple of these two great nations are 80 accus- tomed to living at peace with each other that neither country even raised the point of pos- sible use of the tunnel for purposes of mili- tary invasion, That demonstrates the spirit of the relationships between the nations on this North American continent, a spirit which, if emulated by the peoples of Europe, Journal does not to hear him e..press some of his ad- they represent the fruits of more pation in the newspaper publishing Eye Care and Eye Strain C., H, Tusk 2 Tass, om, 0. THE RELATION OF DEFECTIVE EYES TO HEALTH Tr Ir The eyes reveal character, they tell us something about the person be it of the character, physical weakness or beauty, These facts then should be remembered when the correction Is sought and when the prescription Is intended to assist the person phys. feally it may * also be chosen in a style that does not detract from the person's appearance, To consider the appearance needs but an artistic tem- perament either in the wearer or the one who fits the correction, but to consider the deeper points of a more physical nature the Optometrist must be equipped with precision, instru- ments, that he may be enabled to consider the correction of the con dition of error in its minutest detail, The Ophthalmoscope for example Mm use for the past century but fre- quently improved upon after being entirely disregarded by the British Medical Association, Its latest elaim to existence was established on the continent," By its use it is possible for the user to see the interior of the eyeball and make a study of the optic nerve head, the blood vessels and: the gerenal appearance of the retina, It is by this method that many diseased' conditions elsewhere manifested show thelr warning symp- toms, To be continued, FIREMEN AVERT DISASTROUS FIRE AT BROUGHAM Defective Chimney Caused Blaze in Old Devitt Homestead Brougham, Ont, Nov, 3=On Fri- day afternoon a disastrous fire was averted by the quick work of our firemen and chemical engine, when the house on the old Devitt home. stead lately owned Ly W, Knox, took fire from a defective chimney, Con- siderable damage was to the house in getting at the source of the fire in the attic but the chemicals roved very effective, The fire fight. ing equipment has fully demonstrated its _usefullness in a rural community, The many friends in this locality of the late Mrs, J.

WORSE THAN CANADA Australia is in a serious financial plight, The acting treasurer of the Commonwealth, in spite of the imposition of many new taxes and supertaxes, announces that at the end of the next fiscal year therg will be a deficit of between fifty and sixty million dollars, The new taxes include an increase of fifteen per cent in earned incomes, a supertax of seven and a half per cent on all incomes from property valued at more than $2,600, a su- pertax of ten to fifteen per cent on the salar- ies of government ministers, members of parliament and civil servants, and new cus- toms and excise duties to yield an additional ten million dollars in taxation, In comparison with Australia, Canada is in a very fortunate position, This country, fin, ancially, stands on a high plane, and is abso- lutely sound, There has been no govern- mental worrying over the financial situation, no necessity to levy new taxes to increase revenues, Rather has it been possible to re- duce taxation and to reduce indebtedness by using surpluses for that purpose, rather than to have deficits, Canadians should feel proud of the posi- tion of their country in comparison with others, It is so much easler for a nation which is in a sound economic and financial position to recover quickly from periods of depression than it is for a country whose fin- ances are in a precarious condition, and with Canada in the happy position that it has been for the last few years and is in today, the people of this country can well take courage from the outlook for the future from the |! standpoint of financial stability, EDITORIAL NOTES Head-hunters have become active in For. mosa, Yet we cannot recall reading of a change of government there.
