JANUARY 9, 1931 FR' ---------------- THE TAX ARREARS SITUATION The city treasurer of Oshawa is facing a difficult situation on account of the large amount of tax arrears still to be collected. At the present time, about $270,000 of the 1930 taxes are still unoaid, while there are over $100,000 in unpaid taxes hanging over from previous years. Naturally, all of the ¢ity's budgeting is done on the basis that the taxes owing to the city will be paid, and allthe services provided for the people are arranged for on that basis. The result is® that, whether the taxes are paid or not, these services have to be paid for, and the money has to be borrowed from the bank to pay for them. And borrowing money to take the place of unpaid taxes is an expensive busi- ness for any municipality. It is true that there are many people who are in such a position that they simply have not the money to pay their taxes at the pre- sent time. There are others, too, who, while unable to meet the whole of their tax bills in one payment, might be able to pay it by instalments, as is now proposed by the treasurer. If greater advantage were taken of this privilege afforded by the treasurer, it should be possible to make a substantial re- duction in the amount outstanding. The 'payment of taxes is 'one of those civic obliga- tions which should not be shirked, because on their payment depends the operation of the civic services. Oshawa is being placed in an embarrassing position by reason of the large amount of tax arrears, and it is only right that a strong appeal should be made to every person in arrears to make areal effort to meet this obligation, by instalments, if © necessary, in order that the city may be able "gto function normally so far as its municipal services are concerned. IN A NEW ROLE Old time theartregoers found their thoughts travelling a long way back into the past yesterday when they read that Ernie 'Marks had been elected mayor of Oshawa. "Who, among the senior residents of Pet- wborough, has forgotten the Marks Broth- ers who every season brought a week or two of melodramas and farce-comedies, plenti- fully interlarded with specialities, and at a price within the reach of everybody? Who doesn't remember genial old Tom Marks and Robert W. Marks and Ernie Marks and May A. Bell Marks and the rest of the stars of the kerosene circuit whose presence in town each year was an annual thrill comparable only to the visit of the Guy Brothers Minstrels and the Lincoln J. Car- ter melodramas, full of such excitement as 'only the most vivid of modern talkie serials ~_eould hope to match? And who fails to recollect "Jerry the Tramp," "East Lynne" and the other old favorite plays that held the audience in . Bradburn's Opera House in suspense until the curtain came somewhat unsteadily down for the last time and the tinney piano tinkled 'out the notes of the National Anthem? The Ernie Marks of those days has doffed the grease paint and the rouge of the theatre and to-day is seen in a new role, that of the "chief magistrate of Oshawa, a decidedly dif- ferent part, it must be admitted, but one that the former actor and manager will play with dignity, with geniality, and we venture to gay with success.--Peterboro Examiner. A COMMEND/™""E CAMPAIGN . The series of advertisements inserted in the newspapers of Canada by the department of trade and commerce has now been com- pleted. These advertisments have been of inspiring character, calculated to appeal the patriotic instincts of all Canadians. ~ And they have been so framed as to appeal the business instincts and the common of all who read them. By stressing, newspaper publicity, the necessity ing Canadian industry by the pur- chase of Canadian goods in preference to _ those from another country, the department has done an excellent educational work, be- pause we believe these advertisements made _ deep. impression, and produced results vhich ought to be reflected in increased in- rial activity. Having started on this path fo prosper- , the federal government ought to con- it. - Having created the proper spirit n the minds of the people, an intensive ef needs to be made to capitalize that spirit direct advertising of Canadian products might well be used to replace imports other countries. This might well be dustry which could be assisted in this way, for it would be impossible, of course, to pick out individual products. For instance, a ser- ies of advertisements, dealing with the use of Canadian products of the field, the mine, the forests and the fisheries, and of goods manufactured from raw materials of these primary industries, would make a very ef- fective follow-up of the campaign which has been comnleted. The vresent is no time to cease publicity effort which is directed at producing prosperity, and good results could be obtaiined from continuing the good work which has been initiates durine the last few months. EDITORIAL NOTES Reports from all over the United States tell of thousands of men being taken back to work in the major industries. May this be the first definite move towards increased employment, and may it spread to this coun- try as well. One of the Indian princes is said to be richer than either Ford or Rockefeller. We wonder what it is that he has cornered. Now that the interest has been created in Oshawa's municipal affairs, it would be in- teresting to find it sustained by having the council chamber packed with spectators for every council meeting.. It won't seem like an election campaign down in Grenville County without G. How- ard Ferguson, The new Austin car has accomplished one useful purpose. It has crowded all the old Ford jokes right off the market, Other Editors' Comment | PUTS MONEY IN CIRCULATION (Detroit Free Press) A first, impulsive reaction may provoke a feeling that Senator Norris was half right in criticising Henry L. Doherty for gving an elaborate party in Washington at a time when "the people across the street were hungry." But there is a practical econ- omic consideration in that connection which the sena- tor does not take into account. Every time a costly function like the Doherty party is given, large sum are placed in circulation. Merchants, caterers, modistes, florists, taxi companies and so forth, with their employes, all benefit, either through increase of business or through augmentation of wages, The outlay is reflected in business gener ally. It those who have money would spend what they can spare, if they would spend as people do in normal times instead of pinching where there is no real need, normal times would soon come galloping back. When people with funds commence 'to use them instead of hoarding, there will be fewer people "across the street." THOSE WOMEN DRIVERS (New York Sun) "We women drivers come in for a lot of criticism and wisecracks," said the Woman's friend, "but on the other hand we get away with a lot or stuff that wouldn't be permitted to a man in the same situation, "l was driving down the boulevard of a Middle Western city this summer, when I heatd an impa- tient honk behind me. 1 could see in the mirror that it was an old Ford, and I suddenly resolved that no college 'smart alecks' were gong to get ahead of me. So I went roaring down the street at a rate that was considerably in excess of the speed limit, going so fast that there was no time to stop when the cross street was reached. What was my horror, a few blocks later, to have the Ford draw up along- side of my car and reveal a whole carful of police- men! | resigned myself to my fate. " 'Hey, you,' shoyted one of them, and then sud- denly checked himself. He changed his tone to one of mild remonstrance. "And do you know," she went on, "he carefully explained the tri ffic regulations and climbed into the car without once having given way to the profanity he had prepared for the expected male. hungr BITS OF VERSE PRAYER IN CORNWALL Lord, when the tind that is agile Is lost in its schemes, Let me remember Tintagel, Safe with its dreams, When the one cry is the raven's, And the one question destroys, Let me reply with these heavens, "Rejoice." Let me remember that dolor Never occurs To a cowslip, a finch, or in the color Of furze. Clear of despair and its cycle, I shall be free, Yet firm as the Mount of St. Michael Striding the sea. ~Louis Untermeyer, in Poetry. SNOWFALL Down drops the swow, the fleecy hooding snow, On town and wood and haggard, wind blown space, And hushes the storms, and all weird winds that blow Upon tie world's dead face. Like the great rest, that cometh after pain, The calm that follows storm, the great surccase. This tolding slumber comforts woods and plain In one white mantling peace. So when His winter comes, His folding dream, His calm for tempest-tost and autumn-lorn; "Twill gently fall. as falls by wood and stream His snow this winter morn, ~WilfredCampbell. - BITS OF HUMOR THE DIFFICULTY Young (to jeweler)---I've brought back this ene gagement ring I 'bought yesterday.

(Copyright, 1928) Part "9" You may say to yourself "My eyes are all right--l1 have no symptoms of eye strain." But statistics prove that over seventy percent, of the people of America have defective vision and that only thirty percent, are wearing glasses to correct these defects. And of that thirty percent, now wearing glasses only a very small proportion have had their eyes examined recent- ly enough to be sure that the glasses they are wearing are efficient, Tests for thc U.S, army proved that over seventy per cent. of the young men examined had sub-normal vision and these men were young- sters in the fullest sigor of life. A prominent jewelry factory of Plainville, Mass., found that 83 per cent, needed glasses. Arter being fit- ted they had-an increase of 28 per | cent. in production, and the President | attributes this almost entirely to the correction of the glasses, Industrial America must educate it- | self to the importance of the eyes of | industry, Industrial managers and] employers must realize now that cor | of machines, and correct glasses of | | breathe forth for you employees especially are factors in production which cannot wisely be neglected, : (To be Continued) THAT YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OF YOUR CITY Your faith in it should never wav- er.
