WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1981 MAY BECOME REALITY It looks as if the hopes and dreams of many citizens who are ardent lovers of horti- culture are going to come true next Monday "evening when a meeting is to be held in the Mon. Temple for the purpose of organiz- "ing an horticultural society for the city of )shawa. This is a project which has often been mooted in the last two or three years, but now, thanks to the leadership given by 'the secretary of the. Chamber of Commerce, _@ definite, practical step is being taken with & view to making the dreams come true. The Horticultural Societies Act requires hat for a city the size of Oshawa seventy- ve charter members are required to estab- ~ lish a soicety to qualify for governmental as- _ gistance. There should be little difficulty in ~ going far beyond that number in Oshawa. Already some sixty people have signified | joining the society, That is not good enough 3 E | reproach to the community which is repre- and it is to be hoped that the attendance next Monday night will be many times sixty. course, sixty enthusiasts could go out and nize a society of ten times the number the city of Oshawa, but it would be a ! ndid thing if enough members were pre- "gent and signed up to make it possible to go at from the meeting with the society ac- i i! out : ually in existence, with its officers elected, J ready to go forward to build up an or- 'ganization of which the city can be proud. Rivers home-lover should be a prospective member for the horticultural society, and jen although it seems a long time until the season of bloom and harvest, now is the time "fo organize to make a successful society. x This should be a real community movement, with this in mind we would urge every zen who is at all interested to be at the onic Temple on Monday evening to help he launching of a worthy movement in city. NOT MUCH ENCOURAGEMENT. The Ontario County Council has not dealt adly with the South Ontario Agricultural jety. The decision to reduce the annual ant to the South Ontario Fair, while per- aps a move made in the interest of economy, is ill-advised, especially since the grants the smaller local fairs in the north end of township were left at the levels of previ- © ous years, If ever there was a time when the South Ontario Fair needed encourage- ment, that time is now, when it has just ed through a difficult period, and is look- g forward to the 1931 fair to help it recov. er its fallen fortunes. 4 One cannot find fault with the desire of any public body to economize, but there are times when economy becomes somewhat of a \ sented. And the action of the county council * abody representing, to a very large extent, : agricultural interests of the district, in cing a grant to an agricultural society thich is aiming to help agriculture, is hard iunderstand. The Fair, of course, will wor- ¥ along as best it can, in spite of the parsi- bny of the county council, but it would ive been much more appropriate to the ds of the society at this time had the ant been left at its former level, at least, # the present year, instead of being reduc- d by » 'ANLEY BALDWIN, GENTLEMAN "Broke, and proud of it," is the descrip 1 der given of the man who was twice me Minister of Great Britain and a few rs ago was rich enough to give more than "half a million dollars to the Government at a elip, says the New Outlook, official organ of United Church of Canada, which, adds: 'dinner speech at Birmingham, confessed that his force is had melted because he cou fron trade name 'be dishonored. He xnlained that most of his wealth consisted shares of the iron trade associated with Baldwin family name, running back to John Baldwin "at the forge" in the reign Charles IL These shares, when he took » {mv 1025, could have been sold for about teen dollars today they are worth forty cents. He holds them now, and "there is no cataclysm on earth that can bring them to 'more than a fraction of their former value." Tustead of saving most of that loss this Eng- » nailed his colors to the mast . \British industry. "It may on my part," sald Ruri' modern business men say it was--I Suk of the market. But when you have iA an old name in business, against which noth- ing has ever been said, when you know the public has - come into business 'on the strength of the name, it is an impossibility to throw your shares on the market when you know that in all human probability the loss will fall on them, not on you." There speaks a Christian gentleman, and a states. man to head any nation on earth. That was a shrewd and very beautiful thing the Milwaukee Journal said about it: "With en whe care like that, you can have a coun. SUNDAY SCHOOLS It is interesting to note that in the last few Sundays the largest Sunday schools in the city have been registering record attend. ances and an ever-increasing number of scholars. Were this to happen a few weeks before Christmas, or a few weeks before the annual summer picnic, there might be a deeper reason for it than just interest in . Bunday school, but none of these reasons are imminent now. - Yet the children are flock- ing to Sunday school in record numbers. This is a wholesome sign, and the Rev. Dr. Stuart Parker, in his sermon in Knox Church on Sunday evening, expressed a thought which is worth noting. He said that even wrents who did not profess to be Christians. and who were not living Christian lives, were nevertheless anxious to have their children attend Sunday school. Even these people realize that the Sunday school has a whole- some influence on the life of the child, and while it should not be considered as the only source from which the children receive re- ligious education and inspiration, yet in many cases it is a fact that it is, that re- ligion is absent in the home, and the Sunda schools supply all the religious training that these children have. It is an encouraging thing, then, to find the rolls of the Sunday schools increasing. If they can be made the stepping stone to regular church attendance, and to enrolment of these children in the ranks of Christian workers when they reach more mature years then a splendid service will have been done in the interests of better citizenship of the community. EDITORIAL NOTES The tumult and the shouting dies, The hectic day of voting's past; Defeated Elmore Philpott lies, And he laughts best who laughs the last. And now Attorney-General Price can take another holiday. Mitchell Hepburn said the salary paid to Sir Henry Drayton was scandalous. A lot of men who work in factories think the same about their salaries. France is planning large additions to her navy. And the Leagye of Nations is suppos- ed to be preparing a new program of disarm. ament. Every day we become more convinced that it is wise to wait until all the cards are on the table before condemning the proposal to sell the gas system. Other Editors' Comment | HOW QUAINT i (St. Louis Post-Dispatch) The Manchester Guardian notes with disquietude that "in seven capital crimes in the past year the murderer remains undetected." How strangely quaint it seems that a newspaper should "view with alarm" seven unsolved murders in England, whose population is some 400,000,000, Any sizable American city can equal that record within its own boundaries, while cities like Chicago and New York where murder is a highly organized industry, far surpass it. In the past two or three weeks five gansters have been killed in or near St. Louis whose murderers are une detected, which is five-sevenths of England's record for un entire year, BITs OF VERSE LOST, A TEMPER What!

In this, the Canadian housewife is challeng- ed. Imported cabbages from the United States cost five times as much as the beautiful hard white heads grown in ntarfo. American cabbage sells for about 6 cents a pound and Ontario cabbage at 1 cent a pound. One local dealer stated that dur- ing one week he had sold 156 bar- oy of Ontario cabbage and 76 cases of cabbage {imported from American points, The only differ- ence is the United Btates cabbage Is greener, For salads or soups, corn-beef and cabbage, the Ontario product is much better. Home-grown carrots, large, sweet red and tender, are ocered whole- sale at 60 to 66 cents for a 90- ound bag. American carrots com- g in hampers fromy the southern states, have made such inroads that hundreds of tong of the finest car- this spring al demand A lo- rots will be thrown awa, unless there 1s a gen created for Ontario products. REFUGE, STRENGTH, HELP «God is our refuge and pirength, a Yary present help in trouble.~Psalm PRAYER--Father, our confidence is in Thee, In no other direction can we look for help. STUFF 15 BOUGHT cal merchant stated that in five days in one week he had sold six bags of hampers of American carrots. The Ontario carrot. he sald, was un. washed, and without tops, while American carrots carried the green tops and were washed clean, giving Ontario carrots at 656 cents and 300 them a nice appearance. At 60 cents a bag Ontario carrots figure out at 1 1-2 cents a pound against 4 American carrots to the bunch at 2 1-3 cents each. Commission men say that what is required is a duty that is suffici- ently high to protect the Canadian growers and invite investments in the business, If the Ontario grow- or is not to be protected he will re- frain from growing these vegeta bles, rather than grow them and got nothing for them. BRITAIN PROVIDES (00D MARKET FOR CANADIAN CATTLE Alberta Farmers Satisfied With Results of Trial Shipment Calgary, Alta~=There is a future for western cattlemen on the Bri- tis market, according to a concensus of opinion among the ranchers and cattlemen who contributed te the test shipment of cattle to the Brit- Ish Isles last fall. The shipment was made under the auspices of the federal department of agriculture. Some of the ranchers feel that the cattle did not bring the returns ex- pected but the majority express sat- Isfaction with the financial returns, Rod McLeay, of High River, Alta,, na heavy contributor stated that a good deal had beon learned from the test shipment. "We ghould be able with the co-operation of the rall- ways, effect economies that will ene sure a reasonable profit and the' es- said. Joe Wylie, cattle rancher ot Maple Creek, declared his cattle returned him 'as much as they would have on the home market.' He was well satisfied with the trial and added that ranchers of his dis- trict held similar opinions. TRINIDAD HAS BIG JOB IN FIGHTING . MALARIA FEVER Will Make Survey of Mos quito Breeding Grounds Port-of-Spain, British West In- dieg.~~Trinldad is making a very great offort to eradicate malaria from the Island, and a special sur- vey of mosquito breeding grounds is being made by Dr. E, de Verteul!, Madical Officer of Health, Port-ofs Spain, with the assistance of two anitary Inspectors. It is a big pro- blem and the actunl planning by the Medical Department, in co-operation with the Public Health Department la expected to take three or four YOArs, Permanent construction works will then he done and for this purpose ths Government have already secured the services of Thomas Spence, Water and Sani tary Engineer, the Public Work Department. tions, The first area selected is that extending from Cocorite on the Wasnt to Tacarigun on the East, The fely populated area which is likely to become continuous town in the course of years. 'The Intention is to make the whole of this section am far as possible, malaria free, The Trinidad Guardian says ft understands that applieation has heen made to the Colonial Develop- ment Fund for assistance gn prose- ceting the campaign, It is proposed to spend something lke $360,000 to $400,000 on construction works on the whole eampalgn, but this is, however, a pure shot in the dark as Investigations have just commenced, Apard from the heavy death toll which malaria takes yearly, it Is responsible for more general suf- fering and less efficiency to labor than any other disease in this Col- ony, hence the necessity for the Gov. ernment to prosecute an.

SAY 'BUFFETING' CAUSED RECENT PLANE DISASTER British Experts: Study Cause of German Junkers * Crash London, Veh, 1j.-~8ix months after the accident last summer to a German Junkers siuglo-engined passenger monoplane the technics! sub-commitee of invesigation has published its report. The aero- plane was flying from Le Touquet to London in rough weather, Over Meopham, Kent, it was seen to en- ter a clond, A few seconds later people on the ground heard a suond resembling that caused by an ex- plosion and the aeroplane, com- pletely disintegrated, fell out of the clond and crashed in pieces, the six well-known occupants being killed. After the most detailed enquiry and experiment the sub-committee tablishment of a regular traffic," he who Is 'attached to] The work Is being done In. sec- | reason for this Is that it fs a den- | states that the most probable cause of the break-up was failure of the tail-plane under severe "buffeting' from air eddies produced by the centre section of the malin wings when the machine was flying in the "stalled" attitude with the nose up and the tail down. This phenomen- on is likely to affect most severely "low wing" monoplanes with the wings located in a line with the bot. tom of the fuselage. "Buffoting'" is described as a state of irregular oscillation in which the tail plane bends violently up and down. The probable course of events in the Junkers crash {is that first the port tall plane bent upwards and broke, folding back- wards on the elevator which, forced downwards. immediately wrenched the machine into a steep dive. In a second or two the tail unit, vi- brating with terrific foree, broke away, Next the port wing struc. ture, stressed beyond breaking point, tore out at the root junction with the centre section, followed by n breakage of the engine bearers | dp, and the falling away of the entire powerplant and propeller, A point established by the repon Is that serious 'buffeting' of this kind has not been found in any weroplane of British construction. Actually, no monoplane of the low. wing type is used on any British passenger-carrying service; it fs, in fact, a type of aeroplane rarely built in British workehops. Notable exceptions are the "low-wing" mon- oplane, seaplanes, holders of the world's speed record and winners of the last two races for the Schneider International Trophy, but the pecu- lar design of these craft apparently oliminates the "buffeting" peril, Action taken by the Afr Ministry following publication of the report may involve a refusal to validate the German certificates of air- worthiness for this particular type of aeroplane. In addition, ressarch and experimental work devised to clarify the obscure phenomena as- sociated with "buffeting" are to be put in hand immediately.
