SATURDAY, JANUARY 81, 1981 DOSTERS AND WORKERS NEEDED The Times has endeavored to point out nh more than one occasion, the greatest prob- gm which lies before the people of Oshawa not the reduction of the tax rate to meet condition of depression, but rather the de- opment of the city's industrial life by the quiring of new industries. The reduction the tax rate is a thing of the present, a jeed which will not be so greatly felt when s of prosperity return. The securing of pdustries, however, is a problem with far- aching effects on the future of Oshawa, since only by increased industry can the city hope to continue to grow. This is a fact which does not seem to be realized to anything like the full extent. Ratepayers' associations are discussing ways ~ and means of reducing civic expenditures and S faxes, and it is right that they should inter- 'est themselves in this question, but it would of far greater importance to Oshawa to "have them very seriously consider what part y can take in the securing of industries the city. © Tt is no easy task to secure industries in * these days of keen competition between unicipalities. Yet there has been devised Oshawa, through the Oshawa Industrial andation, a plan which has proven effec- e, and which would be even more effective puld those who are managing it be sure of support and assistance of the citizens of the community. In a nutshell, the situation © is this: Oshawa can secure new industries at any time when the citizens realize that hey want them sufficiently to get out and 'work and boost to bring them here, There are industries waiting to come here--held "back because of the lack of industrial build- ,- industries which would come at once were these buildings provided. Oshawa needs boosters and workers to take nt. of the industrial opportunities which are before it. If Oshawa had a group one hundred live and aggressive citizens, 'willing to put time and energy into the task raising the funds necessary to finance in- | 'expansion as opportunities are of- , then nothing could hold Oshawa back. fare hundred zealous workers,' convinced of 'the soundness of their plan, could make a suc- 'cess of any industtrial plan they chose to 'sponsor. Let these one hundred men be found and vitalized with the importance f the task which lies before them, and there d be no fear as to the industrial expansion A FORTUNATE MUNICIPALITY i at a banquet in Brooklin the oth- : - ight Reeve C. L. Mackey of the Towne p of Whitby stated that there was only indigent dependent on the municipality support. This was a statement of which" township has every reason to be proud, d at the same time a statement that is sig- ficant. 'It shows that conditions in the rely rural parts of Ontario are much bet- than they are in the urban areas. The township of Whitby is entirely a rural nicip , made up almost entirely of me! and those dependent on agriculture a livelihood. The adjoining township of t Whitby, is different. It has three large urban areas, Harmony, North Oshawa Westmount. And East Whitby has a problem on its hands in taking care of scores of families in these areas that are ed ondition points its own orl. It in- sates that, so far as this part of Ontario, Canada, is concerned, the distress prob- n is largely a city one, and that the rural ricts are in a much more fortunate posi- "than the urban districts. There is a ure of in ence in the rural areas is in the cities, an assurance food, fuel and shelter, at least, are al- available, to a far greater extent than le in the cities in times like these. f iheuia form a strong argu- at to city folks who formerly lived in the ntry to get back to the rural districts re they can always have a reasonable as- ce of able to get three meals a by their own efforts.

If the roads were badly drifted, they weren't used. People who had to make journeys stuck to the trains. Automobiles were stored away for the winter, in most cases. It is different now. Provincial high- ways are highways the year 'round. e department maintains a great fleet of trucks, laden with suitable snow-removing appar- atus. Snow-breaking fences, too, are erect- ed wherever thought necessary. The result is an open highway system for 12 months in the year. Winter travel, of course, is not nearly as heavy as that of the summer, but there is a lot of it just the same and there will be still more as the years go by and the Dew devices for clearing the Jvenats come to use." EDITORIAL NOTES And at last it has been possible to provide work for at least a few men shovelling snow. Judging from stock market activities, the latest version would appear to be "Gentle- men prefer bonds." Consumers of electric power in Oshawa will welcome the proposed reduction in rates. Anything which reduces the overhead cost of living in these days is a step in the right direction. One new industry, employing 100 men, would be worth a great deal more to Oshawa than a reduction of one mill in the dollar in taxes. Business is getting better, according to those who are wise enough to go after it by using advertising intelligently. January has determined to show that it really is one of the winter months. When the period of depression is finally over, it is to be hoped that its lessons will not be quickly forgotten. Judging by the start which has been made, and the prospects which lie ahead, 19381 is going to be a better year for building trades- men in Oshawa than 1930.

Over the longest and most dificult dog-sled | course on the continent northland mushers have never been beaten. This year they will be called on to defeat women drivers, star perform- ers from the United States whose records on eastern and mid-western | trails indicate they have at least a chance in The Pas' 200-mile non- stop test. Entry of three of the best female mushers in Canada and United States will make the field that starts out from here on March see ond the most colorful in the event's history. Veteran observers who have seen southern mushers vainly try to win this derby over a period of 13 years, doubt whether the la- dles will conquer the snow-drifted route .to Flin Flon mines and re- turn-- but they are interested. . E. P. Ricker, of Poland Bprings, Maine, and Miss Thula Geelan, of McCall, Idaho, will com- pete against such aces as St. Go- Jord, Brydges, Russick and Pran- teau. The third woman starter will be Miss Ida Carriere, of York Factory, Man., widely known as a musher in the north. All three will commence training here several weeks before race-day and the winding trail that hugs the Saskat- chewan-Manitoba border will hold few mysteries for them in the March event. ; CHRIST POR | ALL Aus rom CHRIST THE ONLY HELP=For 1 the Lotd thy God will hold thy right hand, Sayin yitio hee, Fear not; | il help thi I 1:13. ; PRAYER Se Sadan 3 are onl of the ueglect.

It is disquiet. ling that representatives of the ratepayers should lightly depart from the fundamental rule that public business should be publicly conducted. In the Lindsay case the motion for secrecy waas introduced and seconded by men who had never before sat in Council. It may be supposed that they propose to ap- ply to civic affairs the same meth. they follow in their own busi- ness. But they have overlooked the fact that the ratepayers have quite as much interest as them- in civic affairs and are entitled to know what is going on. There's no law but the law of common sense to compel the rep resentatives of the ratepayers to hold their meetings in public. remedy lies in the hands of the ratepayers when they go to the polls. If publicity for public busi. ness is made an issue, the voters will have the opportunity of giv. ing the exponents of secrecy all the privacy they desire.--The. Toronto Telegram. But, while the north concedes the newcomers an outside chance, tried-and-true drivers from this re- gion will be favorites. Emil St. Godard will return from his annual campaign of eastern races to com- pete. Barl Brydges, pal of the young French-Canadian and his conqueror last year, will come north from his new home at Lake Placid, New York. Sam Pranteau, veteran Indian who made his first bid for The Pas Derby prize in 1920, Is scheduled to start again. Hector and Gabe Campbell, brothers from Cranberry Portage, Man., and Don- ald Flett, Flin Flon's main hope, are other entries. Brydges Contender 8t. Godard's defeat last year by Brydges marked the first time in six years that Emil had been beaten in the north. It definitely stamped Brydges as a leading contender even though St. Godard had con- sistently beaten him in eastern races.

Ottawa, Jan, 31-- A test move- | ment of two or possibly three car- goes of grain, about 760,000 bush ols, will be shipped through the Port of Churchill the middle of next September according to pres. ent plans. A conference held here with representatives of shipping mterests indicated that thero will he no difficulty getting private steamship companies to undertake | the movement, A statement issued on the comerence by the Depart- ment of Rallways and Canals follows: "Arrangments for the proposed test movement of grain from the Port of Churchill, on Hudson Bay, were under consideration at a con. ference held in the office of the Minister of Railways and Cansls. The meeting was arranged at the instance of the whole undertaking, and was aattended by the principal officé¥s of this department and by representatives of Canadian wov- ernment Merchant Marine and Canadian Nationel Steamships. "Dr. Manion was assured by his officers that from present indica. tion the port facilities would be sufficiently advanced to admit of the test movement by about the middle of Septomber. the date by which the cantractors for the ele vators have agreed to complete. The movement will dislocate to a certain extent the dredging and dock extention program for the present season, and for that reason will probably be restricted to the shipment of two or possibly three, cargoes of grain approximating a. bout three-quarters of a million bushels, "The shipping trade is greatly depressed at present, and from in. quiries already recieved, vessel- owners are evincing considerable fatergst Ju the possibilities of the Hudson Bay route, no great difil. culty, therefore, is anticipated in interesting private vessel-owners in the business that the test move. | ment will afford, and considerable prestige may be expected to acerue to the steamship company having (the honor of "handling this first commerefal movement of grain out of Western Canada's new port. children in the dark.
