Trosidder, representative, MONDAY, MARCH 9th, 1981 SEVEN YEARS OLD 'Oshawa today enters upon its eighth year cityhood, Seven years ago yesterday ere was great rejoicing--guns boomed, es blew, and bells rang, as the official incorporating Oshawa as a city was sented to Mayor W. J. Trick and his as- sociates on the council. The then baby city of Ontario was 26th in point of age, but it didn't stay that far "down in the list in point of importance, Now it is ninth in size, and third in volume of manufacturing and freight, Since 1024 it has increased over fifty per cent in popula- tion and nearly fifty per cent in assessment, "a growth that other municipalities have © looked upon with envy. Oshawa's recently developed harbor in 1980, the first year of its operation, was used to a greater extent than any other harbor of its class on Lake L Ontario. The products of several of the city's "factories are known in many of the countries "of the world, "And there does not seem to be any reason why Oshawa should not maintain and en- . hance its present position. Certainly no one = would argue that business conditions for the | eitys industrial plants will remain at the © 1980 level---in fact every one of the larger . industries already reports a gain in activity. i The president of the latest new industry to establish here says that Oshawa's manufac- turing costs are lower than those of Toronto and this, coupled with its nearness to the best market of Ontario, should make it an ideal centre in which industries can locate. "Visitors to this city have repeatedly grown . enthusiastic about its prospects for future growth. A little more of this optimism on the part of Oshawa's citizens themselves will | tend to hasten that advancement, bry IT"8 A LONG, LONG WAY TO HOLLYWOOD Just what satisfaction any normal young man can get out of walking from Montreal . to Hollywood, or from any other place on . Ube map to some other place between 4,000 and 5,000 miles distant, is something we have | never been able to understand. A young Frenchman named Savard struck . Oshawa Saturday. who has undertaken to complete the trek to the movie capital in five months and the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow consists of $2,000 offered by Montreal Snowshoe Club, 's We may have been mistaken, but when we saw Savard on Saturday he appeared to * be looking quite serious and already a wee bit tired of the scenery along the provincial highway. However, here's hoping he finishes, 'especially as there's a girl in the case, await- ing his return to Montreal and doubtless fully confident that he will "bring home the bacon" or whatever they call it down in Quebec, * PREMIER HENRY INVITED TO OSHAWA The Oshiawa Motor Club has done well in ing Hon, George 8, Henry, Premier of ntario, to be their guest of honor and speak- i on the occasion of their third annual "eaprice." . Our office dictionary, which may not be stly up-to-date, tells us that "caprice" n freak, whim or vagary, Just what he connection is with the event in ques- "$ion, which it is announced will consist of jupper, business, addresses and entertain. pent in equgl parts, we are not quite clear, nyway, we 8 y hope Ontario's new nfer will accept the invitation and that ¢ will enjoy being the guest of honor at a 'eaprice," quite as much as we are sure the iembers of the Oshawa Motor Club will en- entertaining him, by "the occasion of his last public visit to shawa, if we remember Correctly, Mr. ary, then Minister of Highways, addressed Rotary Club on a subject of interest to , We recall that he gave a very and comprehensive definition of the ice of "eutting-n," which was then, as low, very prevalent and the cause of many nishaps. The definition went something like this: "Cutting-in Is the practice of turn. ing out to pass another vehicle travelling in fhe same direction when there is not suffi. lent time or suflicient space to get back into he proper line of traffic before meeting an. r vehicle Jeong from the opposite di. e Iu safety. The recent elimination of the deadly level crossing at Scarboro, in which the One tario government had an important share, is a case in point, NOW A MUTUAL COMPANY A very important announcement was made last week by the North American Life As- surance Company, of which Thomas Brad- shaw, one of Canada's outstanding finan. clers, has recently been elected president. Through joint action of policy-holders and shareholders the company has become a purely mutual organization. The directors will in future be elected by the policyholders, who will also own all of the compary's assets. The popularity of mutual life assurance companies appears to be increasing and no doubt the North American, under sound management, will share in this popularity, especially in view of its past excellent record. 'Its mutualization comes at a time when the company is also celebrating its fiftieth birth. day. EDITORIAL NOTES Ontario county and the city of Oshawa may congratulate themselves on the fact that there are no criminal cases for the spring assizes in Whitby, 'The Oshawa Motor Club, like its associated organizations in the province, stands for safe driving on the highways. ~All motorists should heartily support this aim. The Montreal-Hollywood hiker wore out three pairs of shoes before he arrived in Oshawa. That is helping out one industry, at least. The Brooklin branch of the Canadian Le- gion has set a mark for other organizations to aim at. Every ex-service man in the district is a member of the branch, A few holes in the pavements, which were conspicuous before Sunday's snow deluge, is another sigi that spring is near. Other Editors' Comment | THE USUAL STORY (From the Kitchener Record) : The gentleman in Belvidere, 111, who induced his fellow citizens to invest around $400,000 with him because hé was paying interest that in some cases ran 4s high as 50 per cent, seems to have come to the end that awaits all such financial "wisards."" . His story, indeed, follows the Ponzi pattern quite closely, When he finally failed, he was quoted as saying that he could surely have succeeded if only his "enemics" had allowed him a little more time; and several hundred of his investors promptly held a mass meeting and expressed their faith in his abil- ity to make everything right again. Strange, that people cannot seem to learn! The most unfortunate part of such things is that it is always the people who can least aflord to lose their money who provide the bulk of the investments, THE STOP ORDER AT LEVEL CROSSINGS (Toronto Telegram) : (On the ground that it would delay traffic, the Ontario Legislature has rejected a bill introducing the Quebec regulation Fequiring all motorists to stop at level crossings.) It is possible that where traffic is densely congested the stopping of motorists might at times add a few minutes to a motorist's run, But where that is the case there is food ground for the elishination of that particular level crossing. It would be better that the stopping and consequent congestion should drive home the necessity for eliminating the crossing than that motorists should continue to take a risk merely because it is the handiest thing to do BITS OF HUMOR At a Scottish dinner a gossip-writer was surprised to see the haggis borne in by Italian waiters, A poss sible explanation is that they belonged to the clan of the MacAroni, In older days girls used to kiss and make up, but now the make-up comes first, MINT ON SAFETY She=Did you read in the papers that some people were poisoned through eating ghocolates ?

FARRINGTON, PUBLISHER OF THE HONOLUL! HAWAID STAR-BULLETIN, : THAT business is developed and held through service and friendship. These two factors are what create community loyalty and cause people to buy in their home markets, The same factors operate in our deal ings with foreign people in foreign markets, You cannot build business by slap. ping them iy the face, by insulting them, by taking the attitude that they are inferior and must buy or that you are so superior they must realize it, The « ty complex of kickin awa Tn the shins is the height ol olly, Many people in our country seem to think we Americans can build for. eign trade on that basis. Their exclusion attitude, which is needless because a quota law would be sufficient, will eventually reduce our foreign trade and thereby in. crease unemployment, because it ree sults in stirring up hatreds and mak. ing enemies needlessly, IT IS TIME TO WAKE UP AND CONSISTENTLY CARRY OUT THE TRADITIONAL AMERICAN POLICY OF FRIENDLINESS SO WELL EXEMPLIFIED AMONG THE PEOPLE AND RACES IN THE TERRITORY OF HAWAII Strain by €.

How came China's millions to be cursed by the opium evil? Accord. ing to Rev. James Gray, dean o Chicago, Moody Bible. Thstitute, in his book "Great Epochs of Sacred History," page 123: For reason of commercial gain "Christian" England forced it upon them at the edge of the sword, And the opium traffic in India for the same reason-the "monetary gain" to the government is at the root of the matter. Till "nations" cease to put commerce be- fore human life little reliéf can be expected either on the "opium evil", the "liquor evil," the "unemployment question" ete, ete. Look at our neighbour, the USA. We are all familiar with their motto, "In God we Trust," yet they protect the sal of liquor for the revenue derived from it which annually sends one hundred thousand victims down to drunkards' graves, not to speak of the sorrow and misery felt in what is left of the homes, ete. What mockery for such a nation to say, "In God We Trust," when God says, "The face of the Lord is against them that do evil=to cut off the re- membrance of them from the earth, Psa, M:16, "Woe to him that giveth his neighbor drink and maketh him drunk," ete, Hab, 2:15, Commerce is also at the root of the ivory and rubber evil in the Congo, which, it is declared surpasses in its atrocities the awful slave trade-<An- other "nominally Christian nation, is the offending party. Commerce is at the root of the present depression, There's no lac of food in the world? "God was never more bountiful in his supplies than he is today.

Abundance of thing often makes men and women selfish aims, they think they are entéring int their enjoyment of things they arc snatched away, So their labors arc made futile und their hopes are dis appointed. Then it is seen that they were fools, It ia easy to point this parable at the rich, But observe that Jesus spoke the parable in warning against covetousness, Those who envy the rich their enjoyments ure also fools: and so are the ones who covet prosperity for the sake of such enjoyments, True wisdom points to higher aims, Life is not enriched by abundance of posscasions, Prayer 0 God, who dost feed the ravens and clothe the fields in beauty, grant unto us the grace of a contented mind in which true happiness is found, Save us from the corruption of prosperity and from the blight of wrong desires, In Jesus' fame Amen. f| Christian nation, would we go pell mell as before? Prosperity has wings unless preced- ed by the first seeking the kingdom of God and all else will be added. This applies to nations as well as individuals, If as a Christian nation we quit sending missionaries to China telling them they are lost be- cause they are steeped in opium that we make them buy or else do away with the traffic in a true Christian way, As a Christian nation quit reaching temperance and making it egal to sell a man liquor and then after he's paid legally © for it, take more of his money because he hap. pens to drink it all at once.
