SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 29th, 1930 THE NOMINATION MEETING It is nearly a month yet before the nom- ination day for the municipal elections in the city of Oshawa, nearly a month before the annual meeting, on nomination night, at which the election issues, and the civic af- fairs of Oshawa, will be under discussion. But it is by no means too early to start a lit- tle 'campaign of .education with a view to having that nomination meeting attended as it ought to be. Last year, the meeting was almost a farce. Only a handful of the elec- tors attended, and many of the candidates did not think it worth while to be there. The city of Oshawa deserves something better than that. The affairs of the city are of such importance that every elector ought to feel it a duty to be present, so as to be fully informed as to the state of affairs in the city, atid so as to hear the claims of the various candidates for their votes. Only in this way can it be demonstrated that there is a real interest in the municipal affairs of Oshawa. There are signs, of course, of an awakening of public opinion. There are rumblings underneath the surface indicating that many people are not satisfied with the old order of things, that there are many who believe that new blood is needed in the elec- tive municipal offices. At the present time, we are not so much interested in whether this view is Justified oF Nob but we are in- terested in the fact tha is shows signs of serious interest being taken in the municipal election of next January. Much of this interest is due to the organ- ization, in the last few months, of ratepay- ers' associations. These bodies have set the people to thinking for themselves. They have enabled many electors to acquire the habit of attending and taking part in meet- ings devoted to the study of municipal prob- lems. Thus it should be easier for these el- pctors to attend the nomination night meet- fng, and to take a greater amount of inter- est in those men who are offering themselves as candidates. That should be the aim of the ratepayers associations during the month of December. They should discuss the com- ing elections, should try to stimulate the in- terest of those who belong to them, and in that way, should do their part in making the nomination night meeting something more than the gathering of a handful of people to hear a few of the candidates. FERGUSON'S NEW JOB Premier Ferguson has decided to accept the position of Canadian High Commissioner in London, England. His followers being yill- ing, the way was left open for him to resign the premiership of the province of Ontario, and to accept a position which will take him to England, where he will be the official rep- resentative of the people of Canada. It will | be a tremendous change from the hectic hurly-burly of a political life in Ontario to the diplomatic field. Ontario will miss its doughty fighter, but Premier Ferguson will miss his fights still more. He is at his best when in the midst of a battle, and he will be, for a time at least, sadly out of his element when he takes over his new duties. Mr. Ferguson will be a new type of Cana- dian representative at London. He lacks the polish which characterizes Sir George Perley and the Hon. P. C. Larkin, his predecessors in this position, which Mr. Massey never really held. It is doubtful if the diplomatic life will appeal to him as he thinks it will, because it is foreign to his nature. His di- rectness of manner and of approach to sub- jects in which he is interested is somewhat diferent to the way in which things are done on the other side of the Atlantic, and Mr. Ferguson may find that out before he has been there very long. There can be no question, however, as to his fitness for the position. He will bring to it a long experience of public life, and what is very important from the viewpoint of his party chieftain, Mr. Bennett, there can be no doubt as to his being in complete sym- pathy with the administration at Ottawa. It is suggested that the duties which Mr. Fer- guson will have to undertake will be some- what more arduous than former commission- ers have had. That would be more to Mr. Ferguson's liking, for his is an active mind and an active body, and he would hardly be willing to be simply puried alive in a purely social office in London. : In his place as premier of Ontario, he is leaving the Hon. G. 8. Henry. Mr. Henry has many fine qualities. True, he lacks the personal magnetism of the premier, and he as not that human touch which was so great an asset to the Conservative party. Yet he has had a long apprenticeship, and he un- ' bie derstands the problems of rural Ontatio, 80 that he ought to be able to handle the pre- miership just about as well as anyone else. MR. SINCLAIR'S CHALLENGE W. E. N. Sinclair, leader of the Liberal party in Ontario, has succeeded in getting a goodly jump ahead of his critics, of those who would depose him from the party lead- ership at the coming convention, and would put someone else in his place. He has thrown down the gauntlet, and although he had stat- ed that he will not canvass for support at the convention, he has let it be known in no uncertain terms that he is in the fight, and that he is prepared to battle for the honors that go along with the leadership of the party. Mr, Sinclair's challenge to the Liberal party, in which he bluntly asks whether the party has suffered from lack of leadership during the last seven years as much as the leadership has suffered from lack of support will be received with sympathetic under- standing by all who have any knowledge at all of the circumstances under which Mr. Sinclair has been carrying on the duties of leader. As The Times has pointed out on fre- quent occasions, one need only look to the provincial election of a year or so ago to note that at that time he was deserted by those who ought to have been in the front of the fight with him. Single-handed, he had to go from end to end of the province of Ontario and meet the forces of the whole Ontario government, with little more than spasmodic assistance from any others in the Liberal party. No leader could bring success to any party with support of that kind, and it does seem as it the chief question which the Lib- eral convention has to settle is not who the leader is going to be, but what kind of sup- port he is to receive when elected. The convention promises to be a hectic affair, and there will be plenty of plain speaking. But Mr. Sinclair has dealt the first blow. He has let Liberals know where he stands and what he thinks, and unless we mistake the signs, he will not be deposed from the leadership of the party without putting up a real fiight, nor will he be lack- ing for support from others who feel exactly as he does about the whole situation. THE DYNAMITERS DO WELL The General Motors Dynamiters' Club has done its work well. Organized in the month of August with a view to chasing away the "conversational financial blues" with which Canada seemed to be afflicted, it has succeeded in stimulating business for General Motors Dealers in a remarkable way. It has proven that those who inspired the club were 1.gat In ther assertions that there were reserves of money in Canada, reserves which only nceded to bé let loose to make prosperity return, The record of business done by the Dynamiters is proof of this, and they have shown, also, that there are meth- ods by which these reserves of stored-up money can be tapped. In short, the Dynamiters have proven that there is business to be secured, if those who want it will go after it in the proper way. There are sales which can be made when the sal an is inspir- 1 with a spirit of optm Ww he is prepared to talk business instead of lamenting about bad conditions and hard times. That is the ob- ject lesson of that Dynamiters, and it is a lesson which should be learned by all men who are in business of any kind, REV. E. R. ADYE Cobourg this week bids a deeply friendly "Goodbye" to Rev. E. R. Adye who for the past three years has been assistant to the Rector of St. Peter's Church, And the worn "Goodbye" is used, not in the sense of fare- well, but in the older meaning, as he stated Sunday night, "God be with you." While congratulating him on his appoint- ment to the rectorship of All Saints' Church, Whitby, Mr. Adye's departure will be sin- cerely regretted. He has made a place for himself in this community, as well as in his parish, which will be hard to fill. In him the qualities of courage and judg- ment were admirably proportioned. It will carry him to ever enlarging spheres of ser- vice, and young and old in this town value the memory of his ministry and will cherish the continuing fact of his friendship. To say that Cobourg's .loss is Whitby's gain is trite, but its forceful truth makes it the only effective period.--Cobourg Sentinel- tar. EDITORIAL NOTES An Indian chief, who claims to be 109 years old, says he reached that age because he slept only four hours a day. That shows there is still some hope for an editor to reach a good old age. If rumors and whisperings mean any- thing, Oshawa may have quite an interest- ing and exciting municipal election this year. The weather man is now doing his best to show us that he was only fooling when he kept winter away so long. Buying Christmas gifts now will do more than help the clerk in the stores. It will elp to make the factories busier and will give work to more men and women. { THAT FAR-SEFING, CARE. FUL-THINKING PEOPLE READ THE ADS. THEY KNOW THE BEST IS ADVERTISED. It is a well known fact that stores that advertise handle the highest quality and the goods they sell give the greatest amount of satisfaction, Careless acceptance of non- advertised goods on the part of thé buyers often causes them much grief. Retailers who sell advertised merchandise can easily testify to the ease with which they sell them. They sell them easily he. cause advertising has created the demand and the merch. andise gives the customer sat. isfaction. The only sure way for merch- ants to secure the best trade is hy carrying quality merchandise apd using plenty of newspaper space, Increased sales and profits are easily made by those mer. chants who stock np with ad- vertised merchandise and then let the people know they have them, It is the absolute reliability of advertised merchandise that makes them so satisfying to the public. ADVERTISED GOODS ARE BEST BY EVERY TEST, ly proper that a municipality should employ the same system of opers- tions. It was a sane business prin- ciple, he said. A motion by Messrs. Carnell and Cooper, that the Central Ratepay ers' Association was of the opinion that the time had come when, in the best interests of the city, a more efficient and economical administra- tion of city affairs was necessary, was carried. It will be forwarded to the city council. The question of the large amount of outstanding taxes was brougm up by E. Clarke, who asked that each ward ratepayers' association take up the question, "Men who are able to pay taxes are not paying them, and it is the duty of the rate- payers' associations to foster a feel. ing that taxes should be paid," he declared, PRODUCE PRICES TORONTO FARMERS' MARKET The following are quotations, re- tall, in effect on the St. Lawrence Market, Toronto.

Ward 1 presented two resolu- | tious for consideration, one asking that the central hody consider the present measure of efficiency of cf {vile adminstration and the second | that the efty conneil be asked to en tage unemployed men only as re urning officers, poll clerks, ete.,| or the approaching municipal elec- | 'fons. This latter question was speedily disposed of, the members question and deciding to ask the question and decdng to ask the council to follow this suggestion, Civic Administration The other main question, that oi civic administration, was not quite 80 unanimously dealt with, how- ever, It took some little time be- fore the members would speak free- ly on the subject, but after they warmed up it appeared that rum- blings of discontent were to be found in every ward of the city. "The civie employees may he cramp- ed for room, but they perhaps are- n't so cramped as they might ap- pear to he, There is too much sit- ting with feet on desks, and too much f{rrezularity of hours," was one opinion, F. Kirby, who introduced the subject, favored the employment of an office manager, to whom all de- partments would be answerable, He would without a doubt earn his sal- ary, in elimination of overhead and cutting down of staffs and salaries where they were too high. In his opinon, every person employed at the city hall should punch a time clock. There certainly should be one an in charge of all the city offices, aid John Caunt, and yet the crea- 'ion of another post would only add to the burden of taxes now pald, E, Clarke could not see how the appointment of a city manager would benefit matters very much, as the wages at the city hall were not such that they could be cut a great deal It would be better to secure efficient heads of depart-| ments if any of these were found not satisfactory, and consider un- der the present system. "Watch Dog" For Council Ex-Alderman 8. G. Carnell, sec- retary of the city association, said that a city administrator, to have control of all departments, was needed as a "watch dog" for the council. A city adminstrator, or efficency man, was neded, sald ¥, Cooper. He would deal with the expenses, and endeavor to secure one day's work for one day's pay throughout the varfons departments, G. Bhine did not see the necessity of employing a city manager, The ratepayers' associations should keep an eye on city business and act as overseers, he claimed, A Business Principle Summing up the debate, ex-alder. man D, Douglas sald that every modern factory employed a genera: manager to whom all departments were responsible, and it seemed on- Bits of Verse A SONG OF FIRELIGHT Leave the lure of April dusks, Summer days---Good-bye!

Representatives of the miners (and owners saw the president of the Board of Trade and the See. | ratary for Mines and as a rcen't | the followng telegrams were des. patched by the government. "To owners: Hope you will ar- range to meet workmen and con. clude temporary arrangements tn continue work pending further Miners' Federation conference pext week. Am advising workmen to approach you." "To workmen: Uurge you to meet employers and endeavor to arrange to work on Monday." In view of this devedopment the Miners' Federation sent the fol- lowing telegram to district assocl. ations immediately concerned in the dispute: '"Advise you to approach owners immediately and endeavor to make temporary arrangements to work seven and one-half hours on best terms available for day-to-day con- tracts until after a further confer- ence meeting next Thursday." The grim prospect of a strike threatened today after two chief conferences and several! miner ne- gotiations had been in progress throughowd the day In an endeavor to bring together employers and men. BETTER CONDITIONS FOR MENTALLY ILL Saskatoon, Sask.~--Thirty thousand patients are housed in Canadian men- tal hospitals, according to D. M, Le- Bourdais, director of ti.e division of education, Canadian National Council for Mental Hygiene, Because these individuals had no representatives in Parliament agitating their cause, a committee had been formed to plead for them. Years ago the mentally unfit were looked upon with suspicion, Mr. Le- Bonrdais declared, but slowly the dungeon gave way to the hospital and the jailer to the trained nurse. Treat- ments were prescribed for those men- tally ill juat as for other sick persons. Occupational cures introduced into institutions had proven very success- ul. In the matter of prevention, Mr. LeBourdais commended sterilization laws. Parent education was another Rotor which had brought good re- sults, BUDDHISTS BUILD TEMPLE IN ALBERTA Lethbridge, Alta,--~What is believed to be the first Bulidhist Temple on the Canadian prairies was recent! dedicated in Raymond, 25 miles sbut of this city. Owned by the Japanese colony of the district, the temple will be a shrine for Buddhists through Alberta. Over 200 Buddhists gathered for the dedication services which were con- ducted by Rev. J. Nagatoni, a priest of the faith who came here from Ja- pan to take charge of the work in western Canada, Classes will be conducted in the new church and among the subjects to be taught will be the Japanese language and lore. NATIONAL PARKS DEVELOP. MENT As is well known when Jasper national park was set aside in 1907 it comprised, outside the Athabas- ka and Miette valleys, 2 vast moun- tain wilderness penetrated only by a few old Indian trajls. Many of its now greatest regions, such as Maligne lake and the Columbia ice- field were little more than a ru- mour, while Tonquin valley was en- tirely unknown. In recent years the Department of the Interior has opened up and developed the un- mapped portions of Jasper national park, as in other national play- grounds, through surveys by the Topographical Survey, personally Established 1884 afety Deposit Boxes For the sum of $3.00 and up per annum, you can rent a box in our modern Safety Deposit Vault, and place therein your Bonds, Stocks, Mortgages, Deeds, Insurance Policies, Jewellery and other valuables, where they will be protected against fire, theft and misplacement.
