MONDAY, NOVEMBER 24th, 1930 IN GOOD HANDS It must be very gratifying to the citizens, of Oshawa to realize that the fund of about $27,000 which has been subscribed for the purposes of the Oshawa Associated Welfare Societies and its affiliated bodies, the Wom- en's Welfare League and the Christmas Cheer Fund, is in such good hands. The? citizens who make up these organizations are men and women who are seized with a great sense of responsibility. They are doing this work as a labor of love, because they see a tremendous need, and are prepared to give the uttermost in service to meet it. The first statement made by the presi- dent of the Oshawa Associated Welfare Soci- eties, after the closing of the campaign, is reassuring. It goes without saying that the money will be well administered. That is the chief essential of the management of any welfare organization. Such bodies are so often subjected to undeserved criticism that they must be more than careful in the ad- ministration of monies entrusted to them, while at the same time making sure that no deserving case will lack consideration. There is always a danger of overlapping of char- itable effort, but much of this will be elimin- ated by the fact that the Associated Welfare Societies organization is an affiliation of many of the city's societies and Welfare bodies. ~ It must be remembered, too, that the large fund which has been placed at the dis- posal of the Associated Welfare Societies will make that organization subject to at- tempts to take advantage of it by unscrupu- lous people who are not worthy of consider- ation. There are always such people where ever charitable effort is being put forth, and the greatest of care has to be taken to pre- vent legitimate cases from suffering because of the undeserving applicants. With an or- ganization such as is now in existence in Oshawa, however, there is very little danger that much of this will be practised. The ex- perience of last year will stand the workers of the organization in good stead, and this, coupled with the valuable advice and counsel which will be given by Miss Grace Jackson, the official investigator, will be the greatest safeguard against undue advantage being taken of the fund. ONTARIO COUNTY DOES WELL Ontario County has every reason to be proud of its agriculturists. In competition with the farmers of the whole Dominion, they have done remarkably well in exhibit ing their live stock and other products at the Royal Winter Fair, Canada's greatest show window of agriculture. It is no small honor to win awards at the Royal Winter Fair, It stands supreme among the agricultural exhibitions of the North American continent, and the winning of honors there stamps the successful farm- er as one of the leaders of his occupation. Whether it be in exhibiting cattle or hors- es, sheep or hogs, in showing grain, fruit or vegetables, the competition is of the keenest, for the whole of Canada is combed to bring together at the Royal the finest that is avail- able, and a championship won there is virtu- ally a Dominion Championship. Starting with the splendid successes of the horses shown by R. S. McLaughlin, and going on down the list, one finds such men as W. D. Thomas, Brooklin Jersey breeder; W. R. Robbins, of Hampton, Harold Skinner of Tyrone, W. Glaspell and Son of Oshawa, ¥. B. Glaspell of Hampton and A. Ayre ot Hampton, all noted sheep breeders, winning the highest honors with their respective en- tries. Other farmers, including Ray Mec- Laughlin, of Oshawa; Bertwin Blackburn, of Uxbridge and J. Milligan™and Son, of Can- ington, also figured in the prize lists to a somewhat lesser degree. . Tothese men must go out the congratul- potions, and the thanks of their fellow-citiz- ations and the thanks, of their fellow-citiz- ens of Ontario County. Their achievements mean much to them personally, but they also mean a great deal to the county, for the winning of high honors at the Rayol Winter Fair is the finest tdvertising which any agri- cultural county can have, for buyers looking for quality in live stock naturally come to the districts where champions are raised, and this in itself should be good business for the farming community. So The Times is glad to be able to join in congratulating these men, and in wishing them just as much success in the business of agriculture as they have won in the show ring. , - & A PLEASING PERFORMANCE The presentation of three excellent one-act plays by the Staff Players of the Oshawa Col- legiate and Vocational Institute on Thurs. day and Friday evening of last week was an event worthy of comment. The unusually high quality of the plays themselves, from the standpoint of dratatic interpretation, was in itself sufficient to merit the stamp of the highest approval being placed on them, but in addition to that, there was evidence of marked dramatic ability, and of talents worthy of being displayed to any audience. The cultivation of the dramatic arts, while not, perhaps, a major subject on the curri- culum of collegiate institutes, is, neverthe- less, worth while, and the Staff Players are to be commended for the admirable lead which they have given to the students in this respect. Drama of this type has a hard bat- tle to fight in these modern days against the competition of the talkies, but so long as performances such as those given in the Col- legiate and Vocational Institute Auditorium last week are presented to the people of Osh- awa, there will always be large audiences ready to attend and enjoy them. A NEW JOB FOR FERGUSON It seems fairly certain that Premier G. Howard Ferguson of Ontario can have the Canadian high commissionership in London, England, if he wants it. And to a man who has been so long in political harness as Mr. Ferguson has been, the offer must be an at. tractive one. He has won all the honors which Ontario can give him, has steadfastly refused to enter federal politics, so the offer of the London job has come to him just at a time when he might feel disposed to con- sider it seriously. Probably his colleagues in the Ontario cabinet may have some op- portunity of discussing the matter with him before he makes his decision, in which case, although there are undoubtedly some minis- ters whose ambitions are centred on the pre- miership, some day, there might be strong objections. In fact, Conservajives in Ontario would sincerely deplore the resignation of Premier Ferguson from his present position. They realize that he stands alone as a political leader in this province. They realize that he is a tower of strength to his party, that, in spite of what his political opponents may say, he is a doughty election fighter, has a per- sonality which wins others to his support, and is so human that he can attract men and women of all walks of life to his banner. In other words, Premier Ferguson is a great politician, from the standpoint of winning elections, and for that reason, the Conserva- tives are not likely to be very anxious to see him go to London. Should he decide to go, it is likely that either the Hon. G. H. Henry or the Hon. W. H, Price would step into his shoes. Neither of these men can hold a candle to Ferguson as a popular political idol. Hon, George Henry would make a strong appeal to the rural sections, because as a farmer he is him- self a rural man. But he lacks the dynamic qualities of Mr. Ferguson. Hon. W. H. Price is a shrewd politician, a little too shrewd, perhaps, to suit some people. He has more fire and energy in his system than Mr. Henry, but it is doubtful if he would make as strong an appeal, all over the province, as the min- ister of highways. So, no matter which of these two men succeeded the premier, the Conservative party would lose by the ex- change. There is, of course, nothing but speculations in these remarks, for Mr. Ferguson has not yet accepted the London position, and the people of Ontario can only wait for what the future will bring. Yet it would not be sur- prising if the Liberals. were just hoping a wee bit that he will accept, for if he did, it would be one of the best things that has hap- pened for the Liberal party for a long time. EDITORIAL NOTES Oshawa said it with dollars. The Blue Devils are six points behind. All the more reason why there should be a re- cord crowd to support them on Wednesday afternoon. If Premier Ferguson refuses the London position offered to him, it will be because he ° is too good a political fighter to go into re- tirement, The hero of the welfare campaign was Mike Bouckley. He deserves a lot of credit for standing at the Four Corners for three days making his appeal for the odd coppers. And he has every reason to feel proud of the success of his labors. These are the days when prophets are far more numerous than profits. If cold weather is coming now, no one can object to the long time it has been on the way, except, perhaps, the coal merchants, Fashions for men demand broader should- ers. That is only natural during the rugby season. It will only take another month to show the kiddies that Santa Claus has not bee affected by the depression. _ : meen wee ----------l IE Sis ig i ---------- Other Editor's Comments MANNERS FORGOT IN MOTOR (Dally Oklahoman) Whether it' be true or not, it is an interesting t t advanced by s southern editor when he says that the average man is completely trans- formed wiren he takes hold of the steering wheel of a motor car. No matter how courteous and consider- ate he may be as a pedestrian, he be- comes a boor and a menace the very moment his foot begins to release the gas. ° As a pedestrian he shrinks from jotting his fellows. He will not rush ly through a crowd merely in or- der to arrive first. He refuses to knock another pedestrian off the side- walk or shove him off the curb. But give him a car to drive and he im- mediately loses all his sense of cour tesy. He denies to all others every right they possess and is perfectly willing to Wght for the right of way with a flying pasenger train. And while he will apologize profusely to any pedestrian he has offended, he lets loose a torrent of profanity upon pedestrian or driver who happens to get in the a) of his car. Wherefore it is suggested that the way to cure the worst of our traffic ills is for every driver to be just as courteous and considerate while in a car as he is when walking. Evidently written laws will not ans- wer the purpose, for traffic troubles increase as the number of statutory regulations increase, (Woodstock Sentinel-Review) To maintain health and welfare ac- tivities upon which it has deemed in the public interest to embark, and in which it takes such pride, the gov- ernment must, of course, draw to an increasing extent upon consolidated revenue funds into which goes all the revenue collected through taxation, including the gasoline impost and mo- tor license fees. But Dr. Robb's col- leagues have always adhered tenaci- ously to a theory that motor taxa- tion was for maintenance of roads. "Every dollar of it goes into roads," one of them said. Nevertheless even with interest on investment--a per- fectly proper charge--the outlay of the highways department does not begin to equal the amount it collects from car-owners. Evidently the gov- ernment is about to abandon its atti- tude of "kidding" the motoring pub- lie, Dr. Robb takes a new position and asks if there is an objection to using gas tax for general purposes. The answer is most emphatically "Yes," at least until those who have submitted to this taxation as a con- tribution to road maintenance are fully aware that it is not all used for that purpose. If then they are willing to pay a 20 per cent. tax on gasoline for purposes which are unquestion- ably a responsibility of all the pub- fic, that is another matter. CATTLE TRADE WITH BRITAIN (Farmer's Advocate) The cattle trade with Britain is not entirely on a free trade basis. There is no direet tariff, that is true, but there are requirements, regula. tions and restrictions that amount to the same thing, or worse, that Cana- dian cattle certainly do not enjoy the same easy access to Britain as do Trish cattle, and the Canadian cattle are, in the long run, freer from dis- ease. Apparently there are power- ful interests at work trying to im- pede the movement of Canadian cat- tle into the British markets and the Canadian delegation at the Imperial Conference would render a real ser- vice if they could remove some of the barriers placed in the way of Canadian shipments. Bits of Verse DR. GOODCHEER'S REMEDY Feel all out of kilter, do you? Nothing goes to suit you quite? Skies seem sort of dark and clouded, Though the day is fair and bright? Eyes affected, fail to notice Beauty spreads on every hand? Hearing so impaired, you're missing Songs of promise, sweet and grand? No! your case is not uncommon-- "Tis a popular distress; Though 'tis not at all contagious, Thousands have it more or less, But it yields to simple treatment, And is easy quite, to cure; If you follow my directions, Convalescente, quick, is sure. Take a bit of cheerful thinking, Add a portion of content, And with both let glad endeavor Mixed with earnestness, be blent; These, with care and skill compound- ed, Will produce a magic oil That is bound to cure, if taken With a lot of honest toil, If your heart is dull and heavy; If your hope is pale with doubt; Try this wondrous Oil of Promise, For 'twill drive the evil out. Who will mix it? Not the druggist From the bottles on his shelf; The ingredients required You must find within yourself, Nixon Waterman. OUR LITTLE ONES Soft jostbuy mouths~hands dimpled, air; : Bright starry eyes, and silken hair, Heaven has sent no purer joys Than you, sweet baby girls and boys. The poet tells--the singer sings, How still a touch of Heaven clings About you, little strangers dear, Blest messengers of love and cheer, No words to speak, yet oft' we feel Your infant glances still reveal Communion with a source divine, That makes your tiny crib a shrine. 'Bright stars of hope gleam in your eyes; May clouds not come to mar Life's skies. Our prayer--that fortune ever smile Upon you, loved ones, all the while, ~David E, Nichols.

And the best way to promote the welfare of that or any other co-operative unit is to do everything possible to pro welfare of the individuals who comprise it. Sentiment and self-interest combine to cause you to place the interests You assist them to establish themselves in life, not simply because they are your sons and daughters, but because their success will add to yours. Similarly, sentiment and sell-interest combine to refdulate your deal- inde within your own community. You help your neighbour, not simply because he is your neighbour, but because you believe he will be willing to help you in return. You and he have many interests in common. Asa matter of good business you prefer to trade with those who trade with you. Once beyond the borders of your community, when Fai! get into the wider reaches of your province or of the Dominion it sentiment tends to grow weaker, and the element of self-interest be- comes less apparent. But seeing that our nation is simply our families and our communities in the mass, will not its welfase be best promoted by the same means we adopt to promote the welfare of our homes and our local trading circles? Let us suppose you are a farmer living, say, in Saskatchewan. A large part of your income is expended for the purchase of implements, fencing, lumber, cement, twine, house furnishings, and the thousand and one other articles required to equip or service your farm and your home. The money you pay for these articles eventually finda its way back to the pockets of the workers who make them. workers you thus benefit are workers in Canadian factories, rather than workers in foreign factories? If your money goes to workers in Canadian factories, don't you put them in a better position to buy your wheat, your butter, your eggs, and all your other farm products? Not only that, but because you have bought their products, haven't you established a first claim to their considera- tion when they come into the market to buy productssuchasyou have for sale? It's simply the community trading principleon alittle broader scale! But send your dollars to factory workers in other countries, and what assurance have you that such workers will ever buy as much as a cent's worth of your products in return? Your dollars have gone far beyond the community circle, beyond even the national family circle. have gone where there is no mutuality of interest, to countries where it is impossible for you to influence their spending in the slightest degree. Or, to use quite a different and in some respects perhaps a little better illustration to demonstrate this community of interest, let us suppose you are a Quebec farmer, and that you contributed your portion to the $8,903,885 that Canada spent last year for imported corn to feed cows, What would have happened if this money, instead of being sent to corn sfowery outside of Canada, had been spent with grain growers in Western nada for the feed wheat and feed barley they had for sale--{eeds that would have been equally as good for the production of milk and eggs, and considerably better for the production of bacon? Wouldn't the Western grain grower have had more money with which to buy the pro- ducts of Quebec factories? And if Quebec factory workers had had more money to spend, wouldn't that have meant a better market for your milk, edge, and pork? Some of the money you spent for imported corn would almost certainly have come back to you if you had spent it for Canadian feeds instead. As it was, how much do you think ever came back from the foreign corn grower to whom it was actually sent? So getting back to where we started from, don't you agree that it always pays in the long run to develop trading operations as much as possible within the family circle?
