TORONTO OFFICE 518 Bond Building, 66 Temperance Street, Telephone Adelaide 0107. fi D. Tresidder, representative, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1931 THE COULTER COMPANY The interview with A. E. Coulter, presi- dent of the Coulter Manufacturing Company, which appears in today's issue of The Times, makes interesting and cheerful reading. Mr. Coulter expects that by March 26 his new plant on Simcoe Street South will be in op- eration, giving employment of about 100 men, the great majority of whom will be drawn from the ranks of the unemployed workers of the city. While that number may not seem large in comparison to the number of men out of employment, yet it is an ex- cellent beginning, and it will mean a great deal to Oshawa in the way of additional pay- roll to have one hundred more men steadily employed and earning wages, particularly when the type of labor required can readily _ be found in the city. It is cheerful to note, too, the fact that the company is enjoying a busy season, and has an abundance of orders waiting for pro- duction. And a further reason for gratifica- tion is found in the fact that at least fifty per cent of the production of the plant will be in general lines having no relationship to the automobile industry, For a time it seemed hard to convince the people of Oshawa of their good fortune in securing such an industry. As the plant nears completion, however, and as Mr, Couls ter unfolds his plans for the Oshawa busi. ness, it becomes more. and more apparent that this is going to be an industry worth. while, one which has great possibilities of future development, and one which will be a real asset to the community. . THE HIGHWAY DEPUTATION This afternoon Mayor Marks and F. L. Mason are in Toronto, joining, as the repre- sentatives of the city and the Chamber of Commerce, a deputation, headed by Mayor Robson of Guelph, to wait upon Premier Henry and his eabinet with a view to press- ing claims for a more equitable distribution of highway financing. As has been pointed out in these columns before, the cities of Ontario have not had a fair deal in the distribution of highway connecting links within their boundaries, but have had no share in revenues derived from automobile traffie sources. They have been asked to pay twenty per cent of the cost of highways adiacent to their boundaries, in addition to 100 per cent of the cost of high ways inside the city. This has meant a heavy burden of which the province should pay a far greater share. There is on justis fication for charging the cities 100 per cent of highway costs within their limits and only g rural municipalities 20 per cent. of the cost within their limits. 'The cities are asking for relief in two ways, first, by the province assuming a fair share of highway connecting links, or, sec- ondly, by the province paying over to them a portion of the millions collected in gasoline taxes and automobile licenses. The adoption of either plan would be a great relief to the arban municipalities. . What measure of success-will be attend- td is doubtful. The same request has been made to the government time and again, but In vain, although no deputation has previous- ly been organized on the.same scale as that of Mayor Robson. It may be that this indica. ~ Lion of unity and force will impress the gov- ernment sufficiently to induce it to take ac- tion along the lines suggested, but Mr. Henry has so often refused similar requests at x will be quite a surprise, although a nt one, should he now change his mind. ' OFF TO A GOOD START Few organizations have started out under , favorable auspices as the re-organized ) Horticulural Society. The efforts of B. J. McCormick, secretary of the of Commerce, to bring about the of such a society were crowned when, last night, at the Hotel society formally came into be- its officers. The attendance as was the case at the meet week, was both large and the officers elected, from down, represent a splendid the community, with all represented, society is on its way, that it is given Oshawa for work of izens who have been tra. responsible for its organization will watch with the keenest of interest its endeavors to justify its existence. EDITORIAL NOTES The Times has received a very interest- ing letter on. Communism from one who signs himself, "One Foreigner." Unfortun- ately, he omitted to enclose his name and ad- dress, 80 his letter cannot be published, A despatch in the Peterboro Examiner was dated from "Wick, England." Just wait for some Scot in Peterboro to tell the Examiner where Wick is. After having had some in the family, it is not so easy writing humorous paragraphs about the "flu." A few more industries like the Coulter Company would work wonders in promoting the prosperity of Oshawa, Tommy Rose, British aviator, crashed. And after the crash, Tommy rose.--Brant- ford Expositor. It seems tough on the railways that after opening up the country for development, they should provide customers for the busses and trucks. Unemployment insurance' would be all right if fewer people preferred insurance to work. The people of Oshawa can be proud of the Collegiate and Vocational Instittue Orches- Mr. Richer has assembled a splendid musical organization from the ranks of the students. Premier King has been strangely silent since last September, but he will have plenty to say after March 12, Even the greatest of leaders become fol lowers when it comes to following a golf ball. The ratepayers of Oshawa are not very old, but they have already more than justie fied their existence. ; Other Editors' Comment THE NEW MR. SINCAIR (St. Thomas Times-Journal) Irrespective of politics, the majority of the people of this province will welcome the change which has come over W. E. N. Sinclair, leader of the Liberals in the Legislature, In past sessions Mr, Sinclair has been caustic and critical and inclined to oppose all measures brought forward by the Government unless amended at his suggestion, But all his fight ing spirit seem to have passed, or, better, perhaps, laid aside, for we fancy, that when occasion arises, Mr, Sinclair can be as bonnie a fighter as ever he was, In the meantime he feels that these times ara not situable for divisions and antagonisms, He real- izes that, if never before, Canadians should work together to put this country again on its feet. So we find him discarding the mantle of the critic and assuming the working jeans of a co-operator. Speaking in the Legislature on Tuesday, he suge gested that this session should be given over almost entirely to a study of farm conditions) in the prove ince, and declared: "This is no political question, and I hope to serve not in a critical, captious, biased manner but in a constructive manner which will be helpful to our people." A member of the press gals lery, in describing Mr, Sinclair's new role, tells us that there was no rancor in his speech of Tuesday. Not one "hot shot," not one sly gibe. That the marked change in his attitude was appreciated by the Legislature was indicated by the warm applause which he received both from his supporters and the Government's followers when he took hig seat. We believe that Mr. Sinclair is on the right track, and that his stand will be a reciated outside the House as well as within it. fe has shown himself big enough to rise to the occasion. Other politicians might very well aceept his example. This is no time for cither Conservatives or Liberals to emphasize party and attempt to make political capital out of the country's misfortunes. In matters of principle and of policy there will of course, be division, but wher- cver possible there should be co-operation in efforts to restore this country to financial stability. Sinclair has shown the way and it is to be hoped that his offer of co-operation will be accepted in the spirit in which it was offered.

BUNKER NAMED FIRST PRESIDENT ------------ (Continued from page. 1) the organization of the now society also spoke briefly last night. While confessing that he ean havdly tell the name of one flower from another, Col. McCormick stated emphatically that he was a lover of flowers and realized how much their beauty could add to the attractions of any community. Cols McCormick stressed. He sug- gested that a contest might be held in the schools of the eity to choose some flower as an emblem for tho city. This he thought could be one means of creating intevest in the Horticultural Society, The Society might do much by beautifying vacant cornevs und by influencing the owners of vacant lots to improve the appearance of their property, in the opinion of Robert Brooks, Every member should get behind the oMcers and directors and lend them ull the nasistance which they could, Chief Owen D. Friend suggested. Tho Society could only be a success he sald if all co-opers ated, Other members who spoke briefly last night included Mr. Shelley, C. C. Stenhouse, John R.
