SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1931 GOOD NEWS FOR OSHAWA The announcenient made by Premier Ben- "nett on Thursday night, establishing a fixed discount of 20 per cent on the list pricg as a basis for duty on imported cars entering Canada, is the most important statement, so far as its effect on Oshawa is concerned, that has been made for a number of years. The automobile manufacturers of Canada have long been pleading for just such a change, since they saw in the old fluctuating rates of discount, ranging from 25 to 40 per cent, a definite barrier to the proper growth of the automobile industry in Canada. The new rate of discount, according to the officials of automobile firms manufacturing in Canada, will stimulate the industry in this country to a substantial degree, will provide greater production, with its inevitable result of ter employment. TR S. McLaughlin, president of the General Motors of Canada, Limited, is very definite in his statement in this respect. He says: "Rstablishing of a fixed discount rate of twenty per cent from the list. prices of American made cars entering Canada, upon which price the duty is assessed, will have an encouraging effect on the industry in the Dominion, and, under normal conditions, will tend to relieve unemployment substantially." Li Mr. McLaughlin went on further to inti- mate that this measure would open up em- ployment for hundreds of workers in Osh- awa. This is the most pleasing part of the whole story. Oshawa has suffered a great deal through conditions which have existed in the automobile industry, and such an an- nouncement, coming from the president of | the General Motors of Canada, Limited, gives hope for the future. It must not be expect- ed, of course, that this improvement will be immediate. It will take time for the change to make itself felt, and the improvement will probably be a gradual one. There is, how- ever, the feeling that there will be stability in the efforts of the present government to stimulate industry, and that the industry will not be subjected to sudden changes of mind on tariff policies while it is in power. Oshawa needed just such a stimulant at the present time. Even although the im- provement is not immediate, the future looks much brighter than it did a day or two ago, when there was a danger of curtailment in the production of the local plant of General Motors. © That danger, apparently, is over, and it would not be surprising to find the production of the Oshawa factory, in common with that of other automobile factories in the Dominion, take a turn upwards in the near future, so that, when normal conditions return, the full benefit of the change will be felt. The people of Oshawa, naturally, are pleas- ed with Premier Bennett's announcement, and if the results are as anticipated, then they .will have reason to feel satisfied with the steps which, one by one, are being taken by the government to help solve the problem of unemployment. : QUESTIONS ANSWERED ons r! A correspondent from Mimico, in a letter which appears in today's issue of The Times, asks some interesting questions regarding the gas plant sale proposal. He asks, in the first place, why the offer of an American - concern was accepted, and an offer from Canadian interests rejected. The second gestion is regarding the employment of ini ll by the purchasing company. "The first question was answered by Col. B. J. McCormick, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, who, in speaking at a meeting of the Cedardale Ratepayers' Association on Wednesday night, gave the reason why other offers were rejected and this one accepted: "Some le are talking of auction- off the local plant to the highest bid- der. But Iwant to say that we have had four different offers, and this one is the best of them all. This is the only firm that would agree to erect a coking plant _ within the Oshawa city limits, it was the only one that did not want to sell a dol- iv A worth of stock to the people of this city, and it offered a price equal to the . highest offered by any other firm. Surely that is sufficient answer to our " Mimico correspondent. Coming to the point as to whether or not Canadian labor shall be employed, this is for in the agreement of sale, which, clause 12, says: "In the improvement, development and extension of the said gas plant, the pur- chaser shall employ Oshawa labor at all times and for all purposes when avail- 4 gle: true that the word "operation" does mot appear in the above sentence, but this of The Cana- quotation is sufficient to indicate that the purchasers have every intention of using, not only Canadian labor, but Oshawa labor in the utility which is being purchased. Letters on this subject are enlightening, since they give the views of people who are interested, and since they provide opportuni- ties for clearing up misunderstandings which exist in the mind of some people, as has been the case in this particular instance. BANNING UNDESIRABLE BOOKS The Dominion government, learning that a book entitled "The Life of Al Capone" was coming into Canada, lost no time in banning it from this country. One can hardly im- agine that Canadian people would want to read a book of that character, retailing the brazen exploits of a master-gangster. But in any case the government was wise in ban- ning a publication of this kind, which would only have an appeal to those whose minds ran in eriminal channels. This is only one publication, however, out of many which should be kept out of the country. Hardly a day passes without some publication, whether in the form of book or magazine, coming off the presses in the Un- ited States and being sent across the border to debase the minds of Canadian citizens. One only needs to look at the bookstands to realize this. The government did well to ban life story of Capone, but it has a long way to go yet before it has cleared all the literary garbage which comes from the Un- ited States from the bookstands of this coun try. EDITORIAL NOTES Looks as if Chief Friend will have to prac- tice the old sergeant-mejor's order, "Hats Off," in order to maintain the dignity of police court. Strange that it was only after he resigned from the leadership of the Ontario Liberal party that W. E. N. Sinclair learned how much people appreciated him, If the Oshawa delegation to Ottawa really hastened the order regarding discount rates on imported cars, then the whole automobile industry should take its hat off to Mayor Ernie Marks and his colleagues. When a ministet allows Communists to speak in his church, it is time he resigned, as a Free Methodist minister in Sault Ste. Marie has done, It doesn't hurt to kid ourselves, So says a doctor, mellow; But don't forget it's apt to hurt, To kid some other fellow. By the way, that word "mellow" doesn't mean anything in there, only it rhymes nice- ly. with "fellow." It is interesting to note that, in spite of the depression, churches all over the dis trict seem to have had a successful year in 1930. Unemployment is reported to be increas- ing in Italy. Apparently Mussolini's policy of high protection isn't working out the way he intended. It is safe to say that right-minded Liber- als are today more proud of W. E. N.

The other is the act of con- vergence by which the two eyes turn toward cach other so that they both are directed at the object at the same time. As these two functions are so closely related nature has linked them up under the one nerve control, so it is difficult for us to ac- commodate for a close point without converging the eyes, : You will readily sec the effect this will have on the uncorrected eyes. This eye must exert itself to over came its error which it does through the act of accommodation, Still further strain on-the accom- { modation is used to focus at a near | point and as accommodation and con- vergence are closely related: there is | in this case an over stimulation to convergence, All ehilde in! » | necessarily only partly developed and for a time at least all chilaren are far sighted.

PRAYER--Lord, help us honest- ly to face our imperfections and srow strong through service to others, | What Others Say THE GAS PLANT DEAL Editor of the Oshawa Daily Times, Dear Sit i= Having had the pleasure of using gas and paying gas bills for seventeen years, perhaps may not be speaking out of my turn in asking about the future of the supply of gas in the city of Oshawa and the price thereof. to 1918 the price of gas per 1000 cu, ft. was $1.40, subject to discount of 214 ¢ per 100 cu.ft. plus meter rent of 15¢. During 1918, without so much as "by your leave" the price was jumped to $1.75 per 1000 cu. ft. Net minimum charge 50¢ and included meter rent, In 1920 the price in the same auto- cratic manner was hoisted to a peak of $2.15 per 1000 cu, ft, net, and a minimum charge of $2.00. vailing price was $1.90 net, the hydro accountants busied thems selves to complicate the accountancy with the result that the price was set at $1.65 per 1000 cu. ft, plus a service charge of 90c. subject to a discount of 10 per cent. (What the service charge all common ordinary do business without being able to add that to their invoices and get paid for it.) . During these years the general op- inion has been that gas charges were too high in comparison with other cities and in 1930 the O.P.U.C. shaved '| the price a wee bit to help create an improved demand. Whether the re- cults have justified such action citi- zens do not know. The information given out has led people to think that the gas undertaking is a White Ele phant and should be got rid of as an incumbrance, Maybe so, maybe not. _ Anyway the O.P.U.C. have entered into an agreement subject to a vote of the people, irrespective of whether they arc gas users or no, to sell out the gas factory, body and breeches with all appertenanues, goodwill, etc. to an American for a consideration and the price of gas is to remain at not higher than present rates. The agreement is naturally a docu- ment full of ifs, ands, buts, whereofs and whercases and all the other terms dear to lawyers and will tie the community and gas users partic. ularly to the terms and conditions for a number of years. Now, according to your sytiopsis of this agreement, in purchasing the Oshawa gas factory this American concern apparently secures a FRAN- CHISE to supply gas to the inhabi- tants of Oshawa and the surrounding cotintry within a radius of 100 miles. Will that take in Toronto and Ham- iton? Can the O.P.U.C. sell some- thing they do not possess? Fur- thermore the O.P.U.C. are granting a franchise for 50 years whereby the ex clusive right is given to supply steam heat to the inhabitants of Oshawa and we can read the proposed scale of rates in the schedule, The ques- tion I would like to as is: When were the O.P.U.C. empowered to sell "steam heat to the inhabitants of Oshawa"? If they do not possess the right, how can they sell a fran chise? Franchises are sometimes val- unable, other cities have found .that to their cost in later years, This is a matter for the citizens to ponder over and know something about be- fore they poll away a birthright to an American, Yours truly, B. C, Colpus. GAS PLANT OFFERS a Mimico, Ont., Feb. 18, 1931. Sir:~Having rcad an account, of proposed gas plant (Oshawa) sale | was disgusted to learn that a Cana- dian organization was ignored, and preference given to a USA. organi- zation by the city officials, and Utili- ties Commission of Oshawa. The report I read in a Toronto paper was bw Mr. F. L. Mason: A Toronto finan puse had made an attractive offer e plant, but the Commission did n onsider it be cause the house did not have prac- tical experience in gas, ask 1. As a Canadian gas authority, Again I ask, how does Mr. Mason know whether Canadian gas authori- ties were prompting the Toronto fin- ancial concern or not? 2. We have in Canada the finest gas plants in the world and operated 100 per cent. by Canadian born, J. The argument of Mr. Mason is weak. 4. Unless the "Yankee" Utility Company promises and agrees to em- ploy only Canadians to operate the proposed gas system for Oshawa and suburbs from the Board of Directors to the meter readers, my advice meanwhile to the voters is to vote against the propogition unless it is locally operated by Canadians, 5. Canadiari gas operators are un- oxcelled and native born Canadians are prepared to take charge of all operations either under local or fof- eign operation, Yours truly, J. Brown, MRS.

Founded by Wol- sey in the days of his glory the Palace was made over to Wolsey's royal master as a gift. Here it was that Henry VIII passed much of his time with his six wives. The mgn- ty Anne Boleyn maintained her pres carious position as Queen only for three years before she suffered the headsman's axe on Tower Green. Hampton Court Palace remained a dwelling place for succeeding Sov- erelgns of England to the time of the earlier Georges, - Nowadays a great portion of its enormous inter- lor fs devoted to private apart. ments, in which eminent men and women who have done the State service in different directions re- side at the Sovereign's pleasure. The State Apartments, with their tapestries and paintings, and the glorous grounds surrounding the Palace, were thrown open for the enjoyment of the public by Queen Victoria. There is no more de- lectable a place of excursion within an easy journey of London. Now, concerning Mrs. Willlam- son and Anne Boleyn's wrajth. The Novelist explains she was invited for a week-end to the Palace by a lady of title. On passing into sleep the was still much impressed with the romantic character of her sur.

I found myself site ting up in bed and at first I thought that morning must have come, the room was so full of light. Then I realized. that it wasn't tho light of day. Neither was 4t moonlight, or at all events, it wasn't all moon- light.

None of the la- dies I had left at bridge were as young or as beautiful.as this. Be- sides, I thought I had locked the door, "As I sat there, staring, but not in the least frightened, the face in the mirror smiled. " 'Who are you?'

Then I heard the palace clock strike four, She heard it too, and moved away from the mirror, go I no longer saw her tape, But it was towards the open Window that she moved, not the oor.

" 'Come to think of it, Lady M «oo sald Bir... .A....; it was the night.' " 'What 0 you mean?' 1 arked, '""We may as well tell her,' gaid Sir GQ...
