The critics took the view that these bodies were too independent, by which was meant, presum- ably, that they went ahead and did things without considering very much the'wishes of the people of Oshawa. Whether or not there is any justification for this criticism, the ratepayers who criticized appeared to overlook the fact that these bodies are cho- sen by vote of the people, and that, once elected, they have the responsibility of ad- ministering the affairs of the institutions under their jurisdiction, and that, so long as they keep within the powers conferred on them by the statutes, they are on safe ground, It should be taken intd consideration, too, that the men on these two boards represent a fine type of citizenship, and that they have accepted public office solely out of a desire to serve the city, and not for any personal ends. That much, we believe, will be ad- mitted even by their critics. The important point, however, is that these bodies are elected by the people, of whom the ratepayers form a substantial part. If the electors are not satisfied with the manner in which they are functioning, then an opportunity is provided once a year to express that dissatisfaction at the polls, hy defeating those who have not come up to the ideals of those who elected them, and replacing them with others. Unfortunately, full advantage is not always taken of that right to elect public bodies. For instance, at the last municipal election, five members of the board of education were elected by ...acclamation. Had there been a genuine de- sire on the part of the ratepayers for a change, surely it could have been possible to secure other candidates to cause a vote to be taken. The remedy, then, lies largely in the hands of the critics, of the ratepayers themselves. Perhaps the effects of the good work of the ratepayers' associations will be apparent at the next municipal election by the nomina- tion of an abundance of good men, willing to stand as candidates for those bodies which are being criticized, and then will come the test as to what kind of representa- tion the citizens desire on these boards. Af- ter all, cities only have that kind of govern- ment which their citizens wish, as expressed 'by their votes at the annual municipal elec- 'tions. CHAMPIONS IGNORED I ; Speaking at a banquet tendered by the of- ficers of the Ontario Regiment to the sig- nal section which won the district champion- ship and stood second in the Dominion, Lt.- Col. Frank Chappell had some pointed and interesting observations to make. Assert- ing that the municipal point of view on the winning of this distinction was funny, he said:-- "If you fellows had been a lacrosse "team, a football team, or a baseball team, you would have been received by . ithe city with open arms. You would - have been . by a band, feted and a.

The building is to be quite a substantial edifice, and should provide employment for a reasonably large number of men, not only of the laboring class, but also men in the building trades, for whom conditions have been far from satisfactory for the last year or two. Work on this building, it is understood, will be started within the next week or two, so that the commission will be making quite a contribution to the solving of the city's un. employment problem for the next month or two. A few more projeets of this character would very quickly absorb the surplus labor in the city, but as every little helps, there will be many who will benefit from the deci- sion of the commission to insist on Oshawa labor and materials. EDITORIAL NOTES Today sees the beginning of the taking of the census, and the citizens had better be ready with their answers to the long list of questions they are.going to be asked. Judging from remarks passed at the rate- payers' council meeting on Friday, Qshawa is going to have a lively municipal election next January. The work being done by the Canadian National Institute for the Blind is worthy of the most generous support of the peo- ple of Oshawa when the Tag Day is held next Saturday. Many citizens breathed a sigh of relief when they noticed that they have two more weeks in which to pay their first instalment of taxes.

This has been great growing weather-- particularly for the weeds. If "Tommy" Church has any say in the matter, it is apparent that the Hon. W. H. Price will not be the next Prime Minister of Ontario.--Brockville Recorder and Times Other Editors'Comments Toronto Telegram Windsor and St, Catharines are the latest muni- cipalities to display a tendency towards secret mun- icipal diplomacy. In the Border City there was wholesome dissenson on the pgoposition to hold committee meetings in private, and the proposal was referred "back for reconsideration. In St. Cathar- 'ines the mayor called the police to eject ratepayers so that the finance committee oculd go to work. The reluctance to discuss in public the details of public business, which has shown itself recently in half a dozen Ontario municipalities, is defended on the ground that the public interests are often de- feated by conducting these discussions from the housetops. There may be occasions when reticence is desirable. But these are the exception and can- not properly be made the excuse for a general rule of star chamber conferences. Representatives of the ratepayers cannot safely depart from the rule that public business should be publicly cinducted. To refuse ratepayers authentic knowledge of civic affairs until they have passed the committee stage and are presented in cut-and- dried form to council is an outrage against repre- sentative government, The next municipal elec- tions should retire the advocates of secrecy to the privacy they seem to desire, BITS OF HUMOR | MAGNANIMOUS -- The charity worker looked at the proffered piece shown into the master's study.

But at its close, when the loud ap- lause had died down in that big all, a Chinaman arosc from a rear seat and gained permission to ask a question. Levelling a finger at the speaker, he said in the clear, penetrating voice of an Oriental, "What About Jesus Christ?" This Chinaman had been born in a heathen village, the son of Chris- tian Chinese. The Christian church of that community had assisted him in his schooling, he had gone through a mission col- lege, entered the ministry and was taking a postgraduate course in England when he heard this noted || public man talk about the future of || a Christian Empire without once mentioning the name of Jesus, "I hung my head in shame," this statesman had told Dr. Moore, "for I realized that I had left the most important thing of all out of my ad- dress. Without Christ, I knew that our Empire could not become great, and its people prosperous and happy." Without Christ, Oshawa could not become a fine community either, Ds Moore advised. An event which was the wonder, not only of Canada, but of other countries, was consummated on June 10, 1925, when the Methodist, Presbyterian and Congregational Churches of the Dominion were uni- ted into one great church. This un- ion was the culmination of years of effort on the part of the courts, con- ferences, official boards and presby- teries of all the churches concerned, Dr. Moore said, and in a careful study of all the resolutions and mo- tions which led up to union Dr. Moore stated that he found one thing and one thing only dominat- ing the ministers, officials and mem- bers of these churches--an earnest desire to combine forces, to avoid waste so that the gospel might be preached throughout all Canada, even to the loneliest settler. Church union, with the combining of small congregations in little communities into one congregation, thus releasing ministers for other little Chinese | work, had been the means of estab- lishing the means of worship in 1,- 200 communities in Canada, which before union, had no Protestant churches of any kind. Several in- stances were related by the general sccretary to show the great bless- ing which had been brought to peo- ple in lonely, sparsely settled dis- tricts, through the establishment of churches and preaching appoint- ments by the United Church. "What would it mean to your daughter or your son, if she or he were to live in a section of the country where there was no Chris- tian fellowship, no public worship 2" he asked. The church's program, in foreign and home missions, in religious edu- cation and other fields was a big one. With the exception of the first year of union, and last year when the revenues of the church had been increased by $25,000, deficits had been encountered each year, In 1930 it was necessary to reduce ex- peuditures by $100,000 and it would be difficult to estimate the adverse effect which this would have upon the prosecution of God's work, The general sccretary pleaded that every member would give as much as he possibly could so that this great wofk would not be gurtailed through lack of finances, "Give as God has blessed you," he said. "Sce to it that your church does not fail in meeting its alloca- tion." "There is nothing new in the world. Everything that happens is nothing more or less than history repeating itself."--Alfred E. Smith, Betty Nuthall Eliminated Auteuil, France, June 1.~Jean Borotra of France and Cilli Aussem of (Germany captured the two singles titles of the French hard court tennis cham- pionship yesterday. Borotra defeated his com- patriot, Christian Boussus, 2-6, 6-4, 7-5, 6-4 in the finals of the men's singles, and Fraulein Aus- sem, the German champion, up- set the highly favored Betty Nut- hall of England, 8--6, 6--1. Borotra's triumph over Bous- sus had been expected, but Miss Nuthall's defeat came as a stun- ning surprise to the experts, Miss Nuthall had played so well in this tournamnet that many ob- servers' thought she would have given Mrs, Helen Wills Moody a close battle had "Queen Helen" elected to defend her title, But today! Fraulin Aussem forced the British girl into 65 errors and won with ease. Miss Nuthall Handicapped Heavy showers preceding the women's finals softened the court and handicapped Miss Nuthall in her usual style of play. The Ger- man girl shook Betty's confid- ence at the start, taking the British girl's first service, and throughout the first set it was Betty's errors rather than Grau- lein Aussem's earned points that won, The London Life Barometer of Business (Second in a Series) NEW BUSINESS EXCEEDS The $2,100,000 For Week May 25 to 30 IFE Insurance is being bought by Canadians because it has proven to be the best way to guarantee (1) an income for old age and (2) pro- tection for dependents.
