TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 25th, 1930 SUPPORT THE BLUE DEVILS Tomorrow afternoon the General Motors rugby team, better known as the Blue Devils will be battling on their home grounds in the final game for the championship of On- tario. They have a hard fight ahead of them. To meet the Sarnia team on even terms would be a hard test for the rughy ability of the Oshawa boys, but to face a deficit of six points, which must be over- come before the title can come to Oshawa, is an even greater task. That the Blue Devils will give of their best goes wifhout saying. They are noted for their gameness in fighting an uphill battle, and tomorrow they will have ample opnortunity to show the stuff they are made of. The people of Ositawa can help them in their fight. It is a great inspiration to any team to have the support of a great crowd of its friends. It will encourage the boys to go on superhuman feats to have the voices of thousands of Oshawa fans cheering them on to victory. There is, too, a double reason for urging that a record attendance be present at this game. The management of the Blue Devils is giving to the Welfare Fund all proceeds over actual expenses, so that every person who attends is not only supporting the city's rugby team, but is also doing something to help the needy and unfortunate in their time distress. Mayor Mitchell has appealed to the citizens to turn out in record numbers for this game, and The Times also adds its word of appeal, in the hope that the Motor City Stadium will tomorrow be packed as never before for this momentous rugby bat- tle. A PLEA FOR THE SINGLE MEN In'all the relief work which is being done in Oshawa, and in the expending of civic and other relief funds, the greatest stress is al- ways laid on the need of the women and children. This is as it should be. Married men who have families dependent on them are rightfully accorded the first opportuni- ties of unemployment, and after them comes single men who have parents or others. de- pendent on them. In the giving of direct re- lief, also, it is only proper that they should be given the greatest amount of considera- tion. » Right as the above procedure may be, and no one will dispute it, there is something which ought to be said on behalf of the single man who has been out of employment for months, and who has no means of susten- ance. When the depression in business and industry came, the single men were the first to be laid off. When employment starts, the married men with families were taken on first. In the civic relief work, single men were given no consideration until all the married men and those with dependents had been provided for. And in the giving of di- rect relief, the single man is totally over- looked, no provision having been made for him. Yet the single man also has to live. If he cannot find employment, and cannot be given relief, he is placed in position where he must either steal or beg, which would re- sult in his being put in'jail, or he must starve, Sometimes he is allowed a shelter only by the generosity and goodwill of a boarding-house mistress to whom he is deep- ly in debt. But in many such cases, while shelter is provided, no meals are given, and the single man is in a somewhat hopeless position. If he committed a crime, he would at least be fed while in jail, but so long as he remains a law-abiding citizen, he is a victim of circumstances, of such discrimina- tion as must drive him almost to desperation. The lot of the single man is thus worthy of very serious consideration. He cannot be allowed to starve simply because he has not been fortunate enough to take unto him- self a wife. He cannot be allowed to reach so great a state of desperation that he is ready to commit crime in order to secure food and shelter. The Times has definite knowledge of single men who are in desper- ate straits, but who have had a deaf ear turn- ed to entreaties for assistance from official sources. It is not an uncommon thing for the editorial pocket to be emptied to help " some such men who have been deserving of help. So, in trying to take care of the wom- en and the children, let not the plight of un- employed single men be entirely overlooked, but let some policy be devised whereby they can also be given a little lift along the road. DISTRICT HEATING \ H. E. Moore, of the American District Steam Company, speaking to the Rotary Club of Oshawa on Monday, provided some , food for thought when he suggested that some of the larger industries' of Oshawa might find a profitable market for their sur- plus steam by providiing district steam heat- ing for the business section of the city. The idea of heating a community from a central plant is not a new one, It has been tried and found successful in many towns and cities in Canada and the United States, and, as Mr. Moore pointed out, it is growing in popular- ity as experiencg proves it to be practicable. It was interesting, too, to learn that Col. Frank Chappell, while occupying the position of town engineer, some fifteen or sixteen years ago, had very much the same idea, and broached it to some of the councillors of that time, Whether or not a project of this nature is beyond accomplishment or not, it has interesting possibilities. There would be decided advantage to a system whereby all places of business in the down town sec- tion could be heated from one central plant, and these advantages would be equally great were it applied to the residential areas of the city. Housholders would welcome a scheme whereby they would be relieved of the care of individual furnaces, and which would re- duce smoke and soot to a minimum by hav- ing only one plant instead of hundreds. To install such a system in Oshawa would be a somewhat ambitious undertaking, but it has been done in many other communities larger than this city, so it should be consid- ered as more than just an idle dream, but rather as something which might be a devel- opment in the creation of an absolutely mod- ern and up-to-date city in Oshawa. A JUST GRIEVANCE The Canadian Pulpwood Association has a grievance, It is greatly disturbed because the Canadian National Railways is giving a reduced freight rate on pulpwood imported from Russia, and being shipped from Sorel, Quebec, to the Watertown, N. Y. district, this rate being lower than that which is al- lowed for Canadian pulpwood being shipped over the same route, That sounds as if there were good reason for the protests which have been made to the Canadian National Railways by officers and members of the association. The only ex- cuse which the Canadian National Railways can give for this apparent discrimination is that it wanted to attract to Canadian routes business which might otherwise have gone to United States routes. That sounds good from the standpoint of the railway, but when it results in placing a commodity on a market hitherto reserved almost exclusively for Canadian mills, at freight rate which gives the Russian produc- er an advantage of from 15 to 20 cents a cord over the Canadian producer it is doubt- ful if this policy is a wise one. In other words, it is not good Canadian business, par- ticularly where an industry of such import- ance as the pulpwood industry is involved. This year, Canada has lost to Russia a business of 260,000 cords of pulpwood, which is equivalent, according to Ralph Bell, presi- dent of the association, to the loss of some $2,500,000 to $3,000,000 to the pulpwood growers of Ontario and Quebec. And this is only the beginning. Helped by transporta- tion rates which give them a decided advant- age over Canadian producers, the Russians are quite likely to seek an ever-growing share of the profitable United States market, and it is unfair that Canada's own railway should be a party to thue placing handicap in the way of the Canadian pulpwood indus- try. It is likely that this matter will be made the subject of a protest to the Board of Rail- way Commissioners of Canada, since the C. N.R. does not feel disposed to admit that there is anything wrong with its policy. It will be an interesting case, since it will play a large part in deciding to what extent Rus- sia is to be helped, by the railway owned by the people of Canada, in 'capturing trade which should logically belong to this country. EDITORIAL NOTES The thought of district steam heating is bound to sound good to the man who detests feeding the furnace and getting out the ashes. Highway traffic on Sunday was almost as heavy as on any Sunday in midsummer, showing that the continued fine weather is at least good for the gasoline stations. Viscount Lascelles is mentioned as a pos- sibility for Canada's next governor-general. He and his royal wife would be given a cor- dial welcome by tife people of this country. Oshawa is beginning to have more than its share of transients looking for work, That is always what happens when a city shows signs of going ahead. Only four more weeks in which to do your Christmas shopping--and mailing, but who can think very much of Christmas while the weather stays as it is. Whether it is a good thing or not, the fall wheat has got off to a splendid start in this section of Ontario, The fine weather does not please every. body. The dissatisfied ones are the farmers who have found their wells go dry. The Royal Winter Fair might be taken as an object lesson that-it is worth while to, raise more live stock and grow less wheat. * . by ©. H, Tuck, Opt. D.

G. ANDERSON, EDITOR OF THE NEOSHO (MO. DAILY DEMOCRAT, SAYS: "Did it ever occur to you that you are paying your competitor's adver- tising bill, as well as losing to him many extra dollars of profit? "Suppose you have 500 steady customers and your competitor also has 500, neither of you hav- ing done any advertising to get them. Then suppose your com- petitor goes into his local paper with a nice-sized regular ad, well written up and telling the public of attractive merchandise at fair prices--peorhaps at prices the same or even higher than your own, "Inside of a month's time you will lose a majof portion of your regular customers to your competitor and al- $0 a share of the trade of all the others. Your customers' dollars are taken from you and given to your competitor by advertising. "Now, who pays your competi- tor's advertising bill? You or he? Of course, he goes through the physical operation of writing out the check, but whose money is he' using? YOURS! He is us- ing the extra dollars taken from you by advertising to pay for it and still has a lot left for extra profit, while you do nothing but wait for customers to come in and wonder why business is so dull. The non-advertiser always paYe the bill just the same in the end. "And one other advertising fact: The proper time to advertise most ex- is booming and you have plenty of money, but when business is dull and you need money. In most amall town merchants advertise just the reverse of this rule, "THINK IT OVER" JOHN MASEFIELD IS LECTURE SUBJECT Poet Laureate Described As Great Realist To Ex- "tension Class John Masefield, the new poet. laureate, was the subject of Professor Fairley's lecture Thursday night, in connection with the University Ex- tension course, Mascfield is a striking contrast to the late poet-laureate, Robert Brid- es, the finished scholar, who spent is days in the academic atmosphere of Oxford. Masefield is the self-edu- cated man of the people, While he lacks the scholarly outlook of his predecessor, he excels in spontaneity and enthusiasm. As a young man he went to .gea, and did the most menial duties. At one time he was a glass washer be- hind the bar in a New York Saloon, By his knowledge of life in the rough he has won for himself a warm place in the hearts of readers who scarcely know the name of Bridges. Masefield has now been writing for twenty-five years, yet it is quite im- possible to make any chronological division of his works. He never grows old; His later poems often appear to be the fruit of a more youthful mind than his earlier pro- ductions, The "Tragedy of Man," written nearly twenty vears ago, dis~ plays marvelous skill, and a deep un- derstanding of the drama. The characters Masefield describes ae often of the lowest type, He does not love them as Hardie does, nor does he find an ideal of life in comn- mon people, as do Kipling and Wordsworth, He sees them as lovers tensively is NOT when your business | of the game, and finds triumph in failure and tragedy, In his great poem "Everlasting Mercy" there is : desperate picture of drunkemness and dissolute life, It is full of profanity, But even here he is beset by visions of the beautiful, All through his poetry we notice this strange blend of the real and the exalted, The "Tragedy of Man" is one of the ficreest pieces of realism in Fog fish Literature, but in the character of the half-demented old fiddler he brings out the tenderest idealism, Maseficld is rather a poet of the emotions, than a philospher, The meaning of life, according to him, "gleams in its golden anoments," "Best trust the happy moments; The days that make us happy, Make us wise." He is a poet of deep religious feel- ing, The religious ecstacy reevaled in the character of Saul Cain is but a reflection of Masefield's own mind, In places his religious outlook re- sembles that of Frances Thompson in the "Hound of Heaven," "I went into the fields But you were these Waiting for me, | "I went down by the waters And a bird sang with your voice," | One of his best-loved works is "Reynard the Fox". He wishes to | describe a fox<-hunt, but to many al fox-hunt inhuman. THe therefore fol. lows the fox instead of the hounds At the end of*a terrible day's pursuit the fox is the hero of the poem, A kill is inevitable to satisfy the hunt- | er, Another fox at the last moment | crosses the scent, and Raynard isl saved, Most modern poets of note been vexed by problems of They find themselves paralyzed by the old Bridges spent half his life studying metres, and at length the devised al new form--- the loose Alexandrine-- | which sasitfied him, But Masefield is | so full of the essential spirit of poet ry that he has never troubled himself | about form | Next week Professor Hutton wilt | lecture on "Byron and Sehelley" ENNISKILLEN BRIEFS Enniskillen, Nov, 1 sorry to report Mrs, J, Slemon is confined to! her bed, | Mr, and Mrs Russell Griffin re-| cently visited the latter parents at Tottenham | Mr. J.
