Householders in Oshawa have been re- celving, during the last few days, small pamphlets sent out by a local merchayt, ad: | vertising Christmas cards and printed nov- elties. Along with the pamphlet was a slip, bearing the heading "Play Fair With the Community in Which You Live--Support Your Local Merchant." Under this heading was an interesting little appeal, urging the citizens to refuse to deal with itinerant ped- dlers of Christmas cards, and to deal, in- stead, with local merchants. Such an appeal is a worthy one, and we cannot help but commend it. But, reading the message further, we find printed in small type in the bottom right hand corner, this information, "Printed in U. S.A." This caused us to look at the little illustrated folder, showing the printed Christmas novelties. This also bore the same imprint, "Printed in U.S.A." Natural ly, one infers that if the advertising pamph- let was printed in the U.S.A., then the mater- ial illustrated would come from the same country. : We. leave it to our readers to judge whether this is or is not consistent. It is only right that the local merchant should appeal to the citizens to deal with him, rather than with out-of-town stores. But what is his own position when he ignores the fact that there are several printing estab- lishments in his own community, and dis- tributes material "Printed in U.S.A." and presumably, places foreign-made material before his patrons rather than that made in his own community or his own country. This is not an isolated instance of appeals to buy at home, or patronize Oshawa events being printed in the United States. The Times has, so far, refrained from making any reference to such incidents, but the pre- sent one is so glaring an example of incon- sistency that the time seemed ripe for say- ing something about it. peblihd every after: bolidays at Osh LOCKING THE STABLE There is an oft-repeated saying to the effect that it is useless to lock the stable door after the horse has been stolen. Down in Lakeview Gardens today there are many people who feel that that is the position in which the Oshawa City Council has placed itself. The long-desired bridge over Oshawa Creek, connecting the city with Lakeview Gardens, and providing an easy means of access to that section of the community, will probably be built now. Surely thé death of a little girl on the C.N.R. tracks will bring some action to provide this bridge. One is impelled to make these comments by reason of a paragraph which appeared in The Times Jast night, in the report of the tragic death of little Katherine Mucha, eight year old girl who was killed by a train while crossing over the railway bridge over the Oshawa Creek. is aph reads: ™ Residents of the south end of the city claim that today's accident points out in a terrible way the need which ex- ists for a footbridge spanning the Osh- awa Creek at some point between the Bloor Street bridge and the footbridge on the Conant property. If the much- tlaked of Lakeview Gardens bridge had been completed, they consider that the child's life might have been spared, as it is probable that the children would have used this means of crossing the creek instead of risking the C.N.R. Bridge al very well ¥0, say Yay We, {oy ht to be on the railway ge. had No vie not alter the fact that she took this route as a short cut, because of the lack of a bridge at a point where one is greatly needed. 'I'here will be an inquest. The train crew will, and properly so, be exonerated. And the jury may bring in a rider that a bridge be built, as has been requested by the residents of Lakeview Gardens. And what then? Will the death of the little girl prove the impelling motive to produce ac- tion 7 Or will here be further delay? » ------------------------ -- LET IT BE A REAL INVESTIGATION It is announced that the department of Pensions and National Health is to in vesti- gate the circumstances under which Gunner Eggleston, a war veteran and pensioner, was refused attention at Christie Street Hospi- tdl. Eggleston died a few hours after he had been turned away from the hospital, without any attempt being made on the part of the doctors there to see him, on the ground * gt, under the regulations, he was ineligible ~ Imission. A that this investigation 'will not result merely in a whitewash of the A officials responsible for this inhuman act. Everyone will admit that regulations are necessary in an institution of this kind, but surely a dying man ought not to be turned away from the doors of a hospital, without care or attention, simply because some regu- lation says he is not entitled to treatment. The statement of the superintendent of the hospital, to the effect that Eggleston would have died anyway, makes the case all the more tragic, since it reveals the stony-heart- ed manner in which sick and suffering war veterans are subjected to if their particular complaints are not covered by regulations in- terpreted with all the drastic strictness of red tape. An investigation which brings about an explanation that the superintendent and his staff were right under the regulations in turning this man out to die will not satisfy the people of Canada. Perhaps it may be true, but the people of Canads, who, after all, have the final verdict to give as to how the war veterans shall be treated, will not be satisfied with anything which will leave the way open for other incidents of this kind to happen in future. What is needed in cases of this kind is the exercise of a little more hu. manity, a little more common-sense, rather than the measuring of every case by the standards of red tape. Had Robbie Burns lived today, and read of this case, he would have had much greater reason than he had during his lifetime for penning his well known lines, "Man's inhumanity to man, Makes countless thousands mourn." FIXING WHEAT PRICES Out of a host of newspaper comments on the proposal to create a fixed price for wheat that of the St. Thomas Times-Journal sets forth a view point which is worth considera- ing. Noting that the wheat growers of Saskatchewan are seeking to put pressure on the Dominion government to have it pass legislation fixing a price for wheat, the Tim. es-Journal says: "If the government fixed a price for wheat that would guarantee the growers against loss, it would open the door to other interests to fix the price of beef, bacon, butter and everything else on the farm. And if the farmer were so treat- ed, why not the shoe manufacturer, the suit men and all other producers of manufacturered goods." There is sound logic in that viewpoint, The establishment of a fixed price for wheat would set a precedent which might lead to the creation of a false principle for market- ing. It is unfortunate, of course, that the farmer has to sell his goods at whatever price he can secure, while he has to pay the price asked by the dealer for everything he buys. But, nevertheless, he is not going to be assisted very much by the setting up of false standards of values which are not bas- ed absolutely on the law of supply and de- mand, and on the competitive prices which prevail in the markets of the world. FIRE PREVENTION A timely suggestion, contained in a news article from Codrington in the Cobourg Sen- tinel-Star, is that the Government depart- ment or bureau concerned should make a study of spontanequs fires and suggest what can be done to prevent them. ° The number of barn fires in Northumber- land County this autumn has been unusual- ly large. Within a radius of five miles from Codrington, six barns have gone up in flames and five of them contained the season's crop. Losses sustained were inadequately covered by insurance. Repeated fires of this type are due either to incendiarism or spontaneous combustion. It is unlikely that tramps could have been regponsible for all, Getting at the root of the matter and giv- ing timely suggestions to the public would be a worth-while endeavour, For wealth destroyed by fire is lost. Insurance, in such cases, even if giving complete coverage, mer- ely helps the owner. It does not do away with the fact that the value lost by fire makes Canada that much poorer.

Other Editor's Comments MAKING UP THEIR MINDS (Stratford Beacon-Herald) The Toronto Globe sought to se- cure interviews from Ontario mem- bers of the Federal Government on the question of having a fixed price for wheat. . The Toronto paper admits that it did not meet with much success, and concludes that the question caught most of them unawares." It is a new issue on which party policies have not been declared," states the Globe, and the inference ie that when there has been a cau- cus the members might have a ber- ter idea of what they should say. We suppose a man in public life, especinally when he is {identified with a political party, has to exer- cise a certain degree of caution in giving opinions. He might have come out the other day, in answer to the Globe's query and said he was dead against any such nonsense, Then if his party decided that there might be something done about it, he would either have to differ with his party or swallow that first opin. fon. Neither course would be de- sirable, as jumping from a party means landing on a detour and swallowing a former opinion takes too mueh of agulp. Newspaper editors come in a dif- ferent class. We have read in a good many papers a frank opinion that the Government cannot set the price of wheat, and that {t would be poorly advised were it to try to au 80. An editor must make up hig ming a good many times a day, and he cannot afford to wait until] he at- tends a meeting, for there is no meeting to attend. He may not al- ways be right, but the bald fact re- mains that he has to toss his ques. tion on his own scales and weigh THE PRICE OF WHEAT (New York World) The Farm Board is back in the market buying wheat with Govern- ment funds, and Mr, Legge says that he will ask Congress for still more money to continue these operations. He points proudly to the fact that the price of wheat in Chicago is now above that in Winnipeg, hut at the same time he admits that there is no market abroad for Am- erican wheat, because Europe does not care to pay American prices. The question now {s how much long- er this artificial condition can be sustained. If the Government con- tinues to hoard grain, eventually the pressure of its holdings on the market price will begin to offset the effects of further buying, Bits of Humour HOPELESS An Irish motor truck driver was charged with reckless driving in having stopped his truck so wsud- denly that a ¢ar behind him smash ed into him.

TER SAYS: THAT one Baturday afternoon all sports loving Kansas rose up snd cheered when Jim Bausch, of the K.U, Football team, grabbed the kick-off on the field at Manhattan and ran with it 056 yards for a touchdown. It was magnificent. Perhapy nothing like it was ever seen in Kansas before. But have you stopped to think that it wasn' Jim Bausch that did it? It was TEAM WORK! Prob ably any other man on the Kansas team could have made the same run under the same conditions, Jim Bausch caught the ball all | | right, and he tucked it under his , arm and ran all right, But it was the TEAM that made the touch- down, There were eleven men in that marvelous play, one of them running and the other ten seeing to it that he had a chance to run. Dausch was the shaft, the other ten were the head of the arrow. And so he ran, ("not an unfriend- ly hand touched him," sald one account) because his team mates made an impenetrable wall around him. They wanted him to make that touchdown as much as he wanted to make {t. In the eleven bodies there was one mind, That was what won, AND IT IS THAT SPIRIT THAT WILL WIN VICTORIES FOR ANY COMMUNITY. IN EVERY COMMUNITY THERE ARE MEN WHO HAVE VISION AND CAPABILITY AND THE WILL TO DO GREAT THINGS FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD OR THE TOWN IN WHICH THEY LIVE. THE TWING FOR THE PEOPLE IN ANY SUCH COM.

PARIS STATION Passenger Trein Service Temporarily Held Up by Water (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Paris, Dec. 2.--~All passenger train service from the Invalides station was suspended yestorday af- ternoon "hecause the underground tracks had been flooded by waters backing up from the swollen Seine, which today reachod the Austerlits Bridge level 19 feet, 6 inches above normal, for the first time since 1024, The Invalides Station is in the very heart of the city on the left bank of the Seine and across the street from the Foreign Office. No freight traffic passes through there. The passonger service has heen transferred to the Mont Parnasse and Champ De Mars Sta. tions while the Invalides is tem- porarily closed. The water began seeping in up. on the tracks at about three o'clock yesterday afternoon, but two hours later the flood appeared to have stopped.

The family go to their ranch at Uplands, and Margaret, driving with Stanley, tells him what she has heard about Bhirleys' easing. Stanley takes the news calmly. Mar. garet, at the farm, Onds that ber dislike of Stanley Ww being overs come. Margaret establishes her. o0lf ae a favorite with the week. ond guests at Uplands. Stanley returns alone to the farm, after the guests have departed, and he and Margaret find themselves falling in love. Back at Byr- lington Shirley Wilson Theobald has settled In the Ferguson houses. Bociety decides not to forgive Bhirley but she ie deter mined to be recognized. She attends » strawberry fete where she meets Margaret and ebe questions her about Btan, INSTALMENT VII A week after the Strawberry Pete Mrs. Theobald came to Country Club. Again she was exquisitely dressed, and agslu {rreproacnavly chaperoned. This time she was with the Wainwrights, tho niost conservative members of the old guard. | She remained only a few wig | utes; stopped to speak tc ome or two plain unresponsive old friends, nodded to a dozen more, eud saunt- ered down the steps from the porch with young Bill Spears. she promptly dismissed Bill when she saw the little Cutting boy walking slong with Miss Yorke. "We're walking home to lunch," sald dargaret. "Jim and I ride too much, and Jim wants to be an athlete some day--"' "To swim like Stan!" said Jim wmanfully, "l wonder how Stan felt about Mrs. Cutting adopting this child?" Shirley asked, with a glance down. ward at Jim, "He seems very fond of him," Margaret shewered. "I daresay! He'll only do him out of about half a million!" Shir. ley sald laughing. "Where did Mrs. Cutting get him?" Through Mr. Trowbridge. New York lawyer, I belleve." "Trowbridge! I know that old tight-wad," Shirley sald with a frown. "All Cuyler's buriness goes through him end a nice time we bad with him! By the way, do you play bridge?" "Yes," Margaret sald, no longer surprised at the casual way with which Cuyler Theobald could be | mentioned by this woman who had been his wife, but shaken by her own thoumbts, nevertheless, "And are Stanley and his aunt going to the Murray party night?" | "I think-----I kpow they are." "Couldn't you come down and have dinner with me?' Shirley sald. "Mrs. de Vilbiss is coming, and an old friend--a mas who hap- pens to be here from New York." "I'd love to. But perhaps I had better speak to Mrs, Cutting firet ---" the When Margarat went in, Mrs, Cutting was lying down, and Mar garet found the simple matter of the Theobald invitation wunexpect- edly awkward to Introduce. he went into her emnloyer's room, fs e¢he was always privileced to do and found her resting, with Carrie brushing her thin hair. Marearet took her sewing-bas- ket, eat down, and bewan a resums of the day: what Jim had sald and who had praised him, Oh, yes, and Mrs. Theobald had been at the eludb. ! "Anybody speak to her?" Mrs. Cutting asked, {nterestedly. "I don't know, because I! had Jimmie at the slides. But the Walnwrights brought her, and their maid told the Bishop chauf- four--" Margaret interrupted her- golf to laugh. "This f(s below- stairs mossip with a vengeance!" she sald. "Never mind--go on--what'd she say?" said Mrs. Cutting eager. ly. "Well. she sald that Mrz, Theo- bald had found the Walnwright's dog. He'd run away, fit seems," sald Margaret, 'and that Mrs. Theobald had sald she wns coming to the club and asked them if they would give her a lft!" "Isn't that exactly 'ike her!" breathed Mrs. Cutting. in a tone of triumph.

The fourth member of the group was a handsome midle-aged nian, who talked incessantly, "Your face Is familiar to me somehow, Miss Yorke," he esid na- expectedly, during the deal. His tize smiling eyes were shrewdly fixed upon her. "Mine?" Margaret asked, flugh- ing brightly over her soft dark skin, "Yours. Did you ever live In New York?" "New York hasn't been my home for ten years." "That's funny. You come from "From--the middle west.' "Al, 1 don't know the middle west at all. "My say, is it?" He considered his cards.
