THURSDAY, JUNE 4th, 1981 MIGHT AS WELL SETTLE IT The city council, after a long discussion, adjourned on Tuesday night without mak- ing much headway with regard to the in- vestigation into the conduct of the city en- gineer's department. There was plenty of talk and argument, but very little progress. Some of the aldermen desired a judicial in- vestigation into the whole business, but this view was not generally shared, partic- ularly after the city solicitor had given his opinion that there was not sufficient evid- ence to put before a judge. Whether a judicial' investigation is held or not, the city council should at least make an effort to come to some decision on this. matter, and make a report of some kind, fo sn as it is left in an unfinished, indefin- stage, it will continue to crop up, and de the subject of protests from responsible bodies of citizens. The council might as well settle it sooner or later, as some find- ing will have to be made some time, and the sooner it is done the sooner the minds of the people--and of the aldermen--be set at ease. QUITE IN ORDER © The reply given by F. L. Mason, of the Public Utilities Commission, to those who were criticizing that body for going ahead and transacting its business in a legal way, but without running to the ratepayers for ddvice, was quite in order. As he pointed out, the Public Utilities Commission is el- ected by the people of Oshawa to conduct their business. The electors choose men in whom they have confidence, and expect them to act in the best interests in the city. If, in the opinion of the voters, they fail to discharge their obligation in a satisfact- ory manner, there is always an opportunity at the time of municipal elections to turn them out and put others in their One of the things which keeps men out of public life is the carping eriticism which is sometimes directed at them by individ- uals who have no desire to serve the com- munity themselves, but believe it to be their duty to use the hammer on those men who, imbued with ideals of public service, offer their ability and energy on behalf of the community. These men are elected to use their best judgment in the city's in- * terests, and having been elected, it is only , fair that they should be allowed to use that ~ judgment, and, if they fail, there is always the annual day of reckoning left to the elec- "tors to apply the remedy. : THE ROTARY FAIR Once again the Rotary Club has announc- ed plans for its annual fair, the big event in " commection with which it appeals for public s rt, and through which it raises its unds to carry on its various forms of com- munity welfare activity. The Club, during the last ten or eleven years, has done much that is .worth while for the community Outstanding among its activities, and that which requires the greatest expenditure of ney, is its work on behalf of the crippled of Oshawa and district. Scores of _ children in this community have felt the * bentfits of this labor of service on tha part of the Rotarians. Crppled limbs have been made straight. Children who for years have lain in bed have been enabled to walk. . Defects which would have meant a life of handicap and despondency have been re- * moved and corrected, and a new hope brought into the lives of these unfortunate children. : This is only one phase of Rotary Com- munity work, but it is that which appeals rtp big of ih baa t is for. this th ; ap- P for. thi "support of the citizens, and, nowing the generous natures of the citi- en any cause of so worthy a nature d, we feel sure that support will FOR THE SAKE OF SAFETY "Every week-end almost every nevspap- ~ er in Ontario carries in startling, hea Ys black headlines the ghastly story of some awful automobile accident which has occur- red the heavy | 'and Sunday rags ang Swe 'had been "without food. papers, by carrying these repugnant mes- 'sages of 'death and destruetion, are "doing their bit" to promote safe driving on the highways of the province. That newspa- pers should come to regard these accidents as a prolific source of news, is due entirely to the carelessness and lack of vigilance on the part of the driving public. It is the man behind the wheel, who, in most cases, is the cause of the accident. In a spirited en- deavour to complete his drivipgeducation, d the Department of Highways of the prov- ince, will shortly launch an educative adver- tising campaign, with Care, Courtesy and Common Sense as the keynote, in a person al message to the automobile driver, Prem- ier Geo. S. Henry says that the object of the campaign is to keep drivers and pedes- trians alike, alive to the necessity for the continuous exercise of care, courtesy and common sense in the use of the highways. Suggestions made in these advertisements will be a digest of all the information ga- thered from every section of the world which has been found of assistance in avoiding highway accidents and making these same highways of inestimably great- er value and benefit to every citizen. For the Sake of safety everyone should follow this 'advertising campaign with interest. There should be no necessity for any driv- er who intelligently practises safety, to ex- emplify the newspaper phrase "sent from heaven for the headines." EDITORIAL NOTES The budget cannot please everyone. From one place comes a complaint that it is go- ing to increase the price of beeswax. Perhaps the increase in the duty on or- anges is partiof the campaign to popularize Ontario tomato juice. Charles T. Barnes has been a faithful servant of Oshawa, both under the Hydro- Electric Commission of Ontario and the Public Utilities Commission, and his ap- pointment as general manager of the local utilities is well merited. The merchants. of Oshawa will doubtless appreciate the action of the Canadian Le- gion in deciding to issue their souvenir booklet without making an appeal for dona- tions under the guise of advertising, The trousers of beach pyjamas are to be much wider this week. One gets the im- pression that they will only take one steps while the legs inside are taking two.~~Ham- ilton Spectator, Other Editors'Comments THE TARIFF AND INDUSTRY . (Ottawa Journal) Now comes word that the big British firm of Baldwin and Patrons, woollen producers are launch- ing a $750,000 factory near Toronto, with new em- ployment EV ded for between 400 and 500 persons. Low tariftists may talk all the theories they please, but the fact remains that adequate tariffs do bring factories to this country, and who can argue against their benefits? Surely the reality of work and wages for hundreds and thousands of Canadians with all that this means in the provision of purchasing pow- er and a home market, is worth more than the fiscal 'theories of a lot oftarifi doctrinares. CHILDREN ROAM STREETS (Exeter Times Advocate) Too many youngsters roam our streets after dark. This is particularly the cast on Saturday nights. Let it be known that no good but harm and only harm comes of this practice. School lessons are neglected. Expensive tastes are cultivated. Moral corruption is invited. Laziugss is bred and impud- ence is taught,' These youngsters are in the road of people who want to do business. Why should not all parents unite in the effort to suppress a prace tice that points the way to the prison cell? When dark comes on the youngsters who have a home should go to it BITS OF HUMOR ONE ON THE SARGE ; A group of recruits were being put through their paces by thevdrill sergeant. .

"Yes," was the reply, "clocks do it."

When these fail the neglect makes the condition more deep-seated. These corrections in the form of glasses for correcting any er- ror should not be purchased al- ready made up just as anv Iux- ury or unnecessary article is chosen as the fancy wills. These necessities as a utility to aid in obtaining comfortable vision and relief of strain from physical de- fects as shown by examinations, the symptoms of the sufferer may be the same as some dangerous and deep-seated' eye defect or even disease. You owe it to yourself and to your eyes to have them examined. (To be continued) THE MAN WHO EARNS HIS MONEY IN THE CITY WHERE HE LIVES AND SPENDS IT IN SOME OTER CITY 18 NO CITI- ZEN. No man can send his money away from home and then expect his home city to prosper, The man who helps to build a city other than the one he lives in is a liability, not an asset. Every citizen hould be a boos- ter for better business for the home city. They should help to keep their city on the map in gapital let- ters. Citizens who think a city can be built without co-operation are just dreaming. In order for a city to grow all citizens must be loyal to the home city and keep their money working at home, The city that pays attention to community growth, makes the most of its natural resources, keeps up its appearance and helps in the development of its trade territory gets somewhere. An unattractive looking city hasn't half a chance. IN ORDER TO INSTILL HOME PRIDE AND ATTRACT NEW INDUSTRIES, A CITY SHOULD KEEP DRESSED UP. A GOOD FRONT GOES A LONG WAY, FARM NEWS SAVE THE WHITE PINE As a means of preserving the rapidly diminishing stands of white pine throughout Canada from the ravages of the blister rust, Dr. H. T. Gussow, Domin- jon Botanist, urges the complete extermination of all wild cur- rants or gooseberries and the cul- tivated garden varieties of black currants within a distance of 900 feet of the pine grove or stand which it is desired to protect. White Pine Blister Rust does not spread from tree to tree but is dependent upon these intermedi- ary host plants, With these re- moved and completely destroyed the spread of the rust is checked effectively. PRIZES FOR REMOUNTS Major the Hon. Robt, Weir, Federal Minister of Agriculture, has authorizezdzzzz the payment of monies totalling $825 to own- ers' of horses used by Canadian the 1931 training season to be distributed a8 prizes to be awarded on suit- ability of horses for army re- remount purposes. Each regi- ment will be allocated $25 in prize money to be awarded in the form of a first prize of $15 and a second prize of $10, while a suit- able ribbon will designate third placing. The object of these a- wards is to stimuldte interest in the breeding of horses of a type which has been proven generally satisfactory for all-round pur- poses. FARMERS BUY PULLETS A new factor in the poultry out- look at the present time, as re- ported by the Poultry Division of the Dominion Live Stock Branch, is the extent to which farmers in many parts of Canada are now buying .six, eight and ten week- old pullet chicks. With the un- precedented slaughter of" laying fowl and pullets, which is still go- ing on all over the Dominion, the demand for replacement stock which will come {nto production in October and November is in- creasing. CANADIAN TURF GRASSES After an intensive study of grasses suitable for making turf for sports use the Division or Forage Plants of the Dominion: Department of Agriculture at Ottawa find nine varieties well 'Suited to this purpose. These include: Kentucky Blue Grass, Canada Blue Grass, Red Top, Red Fescus, Sheep Fescue, Vel- vet Bent, Rhode Island Bent. South German Mixed Bent, Creep- ing Bent. The results of experi mental work in connection with grants suitable for making turf or sports use is now available to. golf, tennis and other sports or ganizations in Bulletin 148-N.8. "Turf For Sports Use." EGG CONTEST LEADERS With the halfway mark for the Canadian National Egg Laying Contest at Ottawa just passed Barred Rocks lead in both pen tos tals and individual birds.

Barron, Catforth, Preston Eng- land. 156-2 points for 136 eggs. --Department of Agriculture Note, HOGGING CORN SAVES FEED In a series of four tests at the Brandon Experimental Farm of the Dominion Department of Agri- culture the practice of "hogging" corn, i.e. turning hogs into a field of mature corn to feed, show that material economies in meal feed are possible and that the returns from hogs so fed are substantial- ly greater than the cost of Zrow- ing the corn. The type of hog developed is entirely satisfactory; the practices of 'hogging' saves considerable labour in feeding; and it supplies considerable grain for growing hogs at a time when farm grains are most scarce. An ample supply of fresh water must be available on the hogging lot, and tankage supplied by a self- feeder is desirable. TO AVOID BLOATING Bloating is an ever present dan ger with dairy cows on pasture, particularly where the legume is alfalfa, Means for lessening this danger, advised by animal hus- bandry experts of the Dominidn Department of Agriculture, in- clude: Never turn a cow out on alfalfa pasture on an empty stom- ach; give a small féed of dry hay before turning out; have a supply of water available in or near the pasture at all times; don't turn the cows out onto a freshly frri- gated pasture, or a pasture reek- Ang wet from rain, heavy dew or coated with frost. Much of the danger may also be avoided by mixing grass with alfalfa in seed- ing down the pastures. The cows prefer grass to legumes such as alfalfa or sweet clover and will take the edge off their appe- tites before feeding on these, A -------------------------------- BUSH NURSING MEETS NEEDS INAUSTRALIA Victorian Association Do- ing Good Work in Sparse- ly Settled Districts (By The Canadian Press) Melbourne, Australia, June 4.-- Residents of the district of Mir- boo North, Victoria State, have established through the Victorian Bush Nursing Association a hos- pital of seven beds, equipped with an operating theatre and all es- sential appliances, this being pos- sible under a co-operative finance plan whereby sparsely settled dis- tricts of this Australian State are being greatly benefitted. The hospital in Mirboo North is the latest of the kind to be establish- ed, and was opened recently bv Lady Irvine, wife of Hon. Sir Wal- fam Irvine, Lieut.-Governor of Victoria, former Chief Justice of the State. Lady Irvine was accom~ panied by the President of the Bush Nursing Association, Lieut.- Col, Sir James Barrett, Lecturer on Physiology of the Special Senses, University of Melbourne, and noted as a consulting surgeon and Oculist. Membership of the hospital as< sociation organization is by annu- al subscription, the fee being $7.50 a year for a man, his wife and children aged less than 18 years, $6.50 a year for a returned soldier and his wife and family, and $3.75 a year for a single man or woman, A statement to this effect was made at the official opening of the Mirboo North Hos. pital by the president of the hos- pital committee, Councillor A, An- glis, who stated that the accom- modation was equal to that ob- tainable in a private hospital at $31.50 a week, and was available to members for $12.50 a week. Persons other than members, he said, . would 'be charged. $21 a° week. This constituted the co-op« erative principle of bush nursing. The vnancing of the hospital is being provided by a trust fund: The operating table .and' theatre are gifts to the hospital. "Five years ago,' Sir James Barrett said, 'there were only thres bush nursing hospitals in' Victoria. Now there are 27, and two others will soon be opened, oné at Korumburra and one at Lilydale. The mortality rate in childbirth in these h als 'fs only: one-half the general rate for Victoria, and the infant mortality. rate is less than one-half the gen- | eral infant mortality rate of the State. The fées charged 'to mep- 'bers depend 'on the number 'of subscribers. enrolled. The average cost 18. $17.60 a week for each patient. Part of this is covered by subscriptions, and, if the-mumber of subscribers were sufficent, the hospital could be made free to members" NOVEL FEATURES . AT BIG LUNCHEON (By The Canadian Press) London, June 4.---There were several novel features at the luncheon given in the Connaught Rooms by the English and Scot- tish. Co-Operative Wholesale So- cioty t0 700 guests from all part, of the country. . The Prime Minister, who was accompanied by Miss Ishbel Mac- Donald and by the First Lord of the Admiralty, found himself sit- ting in front of a great colored panoramic view of a sunlit tea plantation which occupied one side of the banqueting hall. All the waiters had staifed their faces and dressed themselves like coolies in white linen suits, with white turbans and red cummer- bands. The souvenir program was decorated with facsimiles of the colored pictures of boats, mina- rets, palmé¢, and tigers that used in more leisurely days to decorate tea-boxes. The ing's health, with 'the ap- proval of the Lord Chamberlain, was drunk In tea. This was re- garded as a startling innovation, and probably it was for a formal occasion, though the royal health must have been drunk thousands of times in remote parts of the Empire when no other beverage was available. The point about all this imported local color was that the luncheon was celebrating the opening of extensions to the tea warehouse of the soclety at Leman Street, which enables the original warehouse, and its ex- tensions to cope with an output of 1,700,000 1. of tea a week, Anonymous Donor Gives Fortune For Ancient Buildings (By The Canadian Press) . London, June 3.--An anony- mous gift of $100,000 has been made for the presérvation of 'an- cient buildings. Announcing this at the annual meeting of the So- clety for the Protection of Anei- ent Buildings, Viscount Esher sald: 'When this splendid windfall came a full committee meeting wag immediately called to dis- cuss how the money was to be used. It was decided that it would be better to finance the repair and maintenance of aneient bufld- ings on an economic basis. An or- dinary public company is being registered under the Companies Act with limited liability and capital of $25,000. The company will buy, gell and restore and maintain ancient buildings and enter into contracts, but without in any way pledging this Society, This Society will entirely control the company by holding all the Ordinary shares and appointing the directors. The Society will provide more money from time to time and further capital will be provided by the issue of prefer- ence shares to be taken un hv supporters of the Society or hy pergons desirous of transferring buildings to the company. 'The objects of the company are primarily to acquire ancient buildings by gift or purchase and have them restored or repaired that they may be let out at a ren- tal which will represent a fair re- turn for the money invested." Viscount Esher explained that thoy had endeavored to acquire a7 17th century house in Battersea, / but had been unable to do so. They were considering a gcheme at Saffron Walden in connection with some 156th century houses, wo thousand pounds was wants ~ ed. The company would provide | as much money as they could! hope to get a return on. Saffron Walden was going to find $5,000 and the other $2,500 would bs subscribed by members of the Society for the Protection of An- | cient Buildings. ) Lord Esher added: "We shall undertake restorations and the management of ancient buildings for their owners at a reasonable | fee or commission." D. 5. Mac-: Coll, a member of the Royal Fine; Arts Commission, described the. society as an "advisory surgeon to old buildings, who supplied crutches and patches instead 6f a new faked body."
