It is interesting to note the efforts which "are being made in Oshawa to establish goke as a standard domestic fuel. In the last 'week, there has been much to say about the arrival of shiploads of coke at the harbor, 'and of the keen rivalry which has sprung up between coal dealers for the opportunity NE boing in on the ground floor as dealers in this type of fuel on a large scale. These rivalries are, of course, good for business, and will probably straighten themselves out 'in time. As a matter of fact, this rivalry is not the important thing. The important i thing, from the standpoint of Oshawa's fu- .ture, is the development of a coke market the city. : "At the present quoted prices, 'coke is a "much cheaper fuel than anything else which is offered for the average domestic purposes. Its use represents a large saving to the aver- age home, and at the present time, that is a factor which is worth weighing. : Yet there is a bigger factor than that. The development of a substantial market for coke in Oshawa and the Central Ontario dis- trict generally will have a very great bear- ing on the establishment here of a coking i plant. To make such a plant an economic possibility, there must be markets for both of its chief products, gas and coke. Pro- gress is being made in building up the gas 'market and consumption and if the same pro- mess in coke, the construction of the coking plant is likely to be greatly expedited. From that standpoint, the experiment will be 'worth watching, and it remains to be seen whether or not the people of this district are ready to substitute the cheaper coke for the traditional anthracite which is in common use in the district today. A TERRIBLE RECORD : During the first three months of 1931, 75 + persons lost their lives and 973 persons were fh" Sfured in automobile accidents in the pro- vince of Ontario. When it is considered. that "these three months of the year produce the lightest volume of automobile traffic of any . period, the terrible nature of this record is . at once apparent, and one cannot help but wonder what the figures will be when the rush traffic season comes along. . This is a condition which ought to make every motorist stop and think of the respcn- sibility which rests upon him in the matter of preventing accidents. It is so easy to prevent accidents by the exercise of ordinary 'care and good judgment that it is hard to understand why there are so many of them. * Liquor cannot be blamed in these cases, for ~ only one of the fatalities was caused Ly an intoxicated driver. Only one driver mvolv- ed in a fatal accident was under extreme fatigue. The remainder were in normal con- dition at the time of the accidents. It is true that, in the case of accidents to pedcs- trians, the motorist is not always to blame, these can usually be avoided if the car y being driven pt a reasonable speed, and js under proper control. Therein lies the jecret of automobile accident prevention. If very motorist would be content to drive at reasonable speed, and to refrain from dan- ous practices on the highway, and would 'keep his car absolutely under control every minute he is on the road, there would be a ch smaller list of accidents. But since human nature is as it is, perhaps that is p much.-to expect. AN AGGRESSIVE FIRM "The announcement made yesterday that the Williams Piano Company had acquired he manufacturing and distribution rights for a make of radio receiving set hitherto ufactured exclusively in the United was good news for Oshawa. Anything means the expansion of an existing ry is a good thing for the community, since the acquiring of this new line of for manufacture will mean the addi- of 100 employees when the peak of pro- on is reached, it was a happy announce- t for the people of Oshawa. It may take little time, of course, to reach the peak of duction but anything which will add to justrial payrolls means much to a com- nity under present conditions. The Williams Piano Company is to be con- tulated on the aggressive manner in h it has, in recent years, reached out "into new fields of jndustrial activity. When ie piano industry suffered, by reason of nged conditions, the Williams Company ht new channels into which to turn its turing resources. It went into the ture of outboard motor boats, and / has built up in that line what is practically a new industry for Oshawa. It also turned to the field of radio, and brought still another new line of manufacturing to Oshawa. And now that branch of the industry is being doubled by the addition of another popular make of radio. The experience of the Williams Company shows that business will come where a real aggressive effort is made to secure it. An industry of this kind is a decided asset to the community, and it is to be hoped that its new venture will meet with the success that the company's officers anticipate, so that the field for employment in Oshawa may be extended in a substantial way. EDITORIAL NOTES If Engineer Wilson, as promised, produces a solution to the harbor congestion problem in a week, then he is indeed a miracle man. Oshawa is interested enough in the Bow- manville gas franchise bylaw to hope that the voters there follow the example set by the Oshawa voters on March 21. Judging by the Took of things at the Osh- awa harbor, no one in the community should go cold next winter. ? The whole of Northern Ontario will be thankful if Premier Henry's prediction of a solution of the newsprint situation in the near future comes true. A bull killed a lion in an arena in Mexico. This shatters all the traditions which have hung around the "King of Beasts." A method of building sound-proof rooms has been discovered. What a splendid thing for apartment houses in which the neigh- bours like to keep the radio going half the night. Ontario Conservatives will select a new leader at a convention in Toronto on June 24. It's safe betting that the scenes enacted at the Liberal convention will not be repeated at this gathering. Othér Editors' Comments | IS THIS RADIO INTELLIGENCE? (St. Thomas Times-Journal) There isa certain product advertised on the radio with the trade mark of a camel. Sponsors of radio programs usually introduce their entertainment with a theme that will identify it at once. And so the intelligent producer of the "Camel" program intro- duces the event with a bagpipe rendering of "Lhe Campbells Are Comin'." Between a camel and a Campbell there is nothing in common whatever. Perhaps the widest difference between them is that a camel can go without a drink for a long time, and a good many Campbells would find it hard to go a week without a_"drap" of the national beverage, It the sponsors don't know that a Campbell and a camel are not one and the same thing, it is time somebody enlightened them. It's enough to give the Campbells the hump. SPLENDID EQUIPMENT (Brantford Expositor) : A splendid example of the development of mineral wealth in Canada is found in the expansion of the Mond nickle plant for refining what are known as the platinum metals--palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, and iridium. When the refinery was opened in 1924 it had a capacity of 40,000 ounces a year, whereas, with the opening of the recent extension, it will be able to produce 300,000 ounces a year. When it is remembered that the total consumption of these met- als throughout the world is less than 400,000 ounces, it is seen that Canada is splendidly equipped to sup- ply the demand. Truly the Dominion possesses al- most incalculable mineral wealth. BITS OF HUMOR 'CONSIDERATE OF THE SERGEANT Stable Sergeant: "D'ja ever ride a horse before?" Rookie: "No." Sergeant: "Ah!

Caller: "You report me as saying I knew no more about the matter than I did about riding Greek goats." ; Reporter: "Yes. Wasn't that what you said?" "Certainly not. I said 'writing' Greek odes'." BITS OF VERSE SHADOWS I love shadows, Shadows that play, Cast by flickering candles At the close of day. I love the deeper shadows, When at night The warm fire on the glowing hearth Casts mellow, wavering light. 1] For shadows tell me stories Of strange lands far away; Of ancient kindoms' glories, Rulers with wide-flung sway. Of pirates, and of treasures Buried, 'neath island vsands; Of Biysheties, adventures, In Oriental lands. That's why I love shadows Cast when firelight gleams, For they help spin the gossamers Of fancies and of dreams, Eye Care and Eye Strain ic. by C. (Copyright 1928) OUT OF THE AIR Part "1" To practically everyone in the world today there comes sharply and clearly an idea that is loaded with great possibilities and often the idea is forever lost because for some rea- son there age not at hand the nec- essary means of action. It is because we realize the truth of the above that we are credulous of the seeming good things that are brought to our attention, and yet when every man of affairs has brought to his attention something containing real possibilities and looks back over a life well spent and suc- cessful does he find that the real things were peddled from house to house, on the contrary he does not, a thing that is worth while will sell on its merits and does not have to be pushed. There was a time when glasses were commonly peddled from house to house and in a hit and miss manner eyes were tested. Today the intelligence of the general public en- ables them to so value their vision that they are no longer in the dark regarding a dependable eye examina- tion, People who care for their eye- sivht do not purchase out of a basket in a manner hazardous to their wel- fare. They realize that individually glasses made for the eyes and face must be first quality and are not sought at a bargain counter or at bargain prices. slasses are medicine for the econ- dition of error and should be respee- ted accordingly.
