SATURDAY, JULY 18th, 1931 ; THE HARBOR SITUATION : er ------ » It is now two months since it was an- -smounced that work was to be started at wa harbour in the near future and that sive additions were to be made to har- 'facilities. At that time, it was stated "hat the coal which occupies the wharves at "the harbor was to be removed to make this ri possible, and that the plans had been ¥ ved for the work to be undertaken al- + most at once, or, at least, as soon as the "goal was removed. * « ; In spite of all these undertakings and "promises, there is still no sign of activity at "the harbor, and the unemployed of the : ol and who have been waiting for an oppor- / ity to work on this project, are becom- ing somewhat disgruntled at the long delay. Whatever the cause for the delay, it should be removed as soon as possible, not only 'be- cause of the need of greater facilities at he harbor but so that men may be put to owork. 258 In spite of the edict regarding the remov- of the huge coal piles, they still remain , and only a few days ago another boat «load was added to what was already there. It is obvious that there is something wrong somewhere, and it is time that a thorougn inquiry was made into the whole situation. If the delay is due jo government policy not "to spend the money appropriated for Osh- awa harbor, then there is a need for fur- ther pressure being brought to bear on the - responsible minister. If, however, the delay is caused by the presence of the coal poles on the dock, then some more strenuous " measures will have to be taken to have \ © them removed. The Times makes this state- a ment, not with any desire to embarrass the coal dealers of the city, but solely with the .object of seeking to expedite the beginning of work at the harbor, so that employment may be provided for at least some of the men now walking the streets. No matter where the fault may lie, the difficulties in "the way should not be too great to be over- come, and those bodies or individuals who have jurisdiction in the matter must be urged to take immediate and forceful action & have them removed. HELPING THE PARTIES, The more evidence that is presented in Beauharnois inquiry by a special committee 'of the house of commons, the more it be- gomes apparent that the inquiry was justi- fied. The amazing disclosures made by R. 0. Sweezey, president of the Beauharnois Corporation, regarding contibutions made = "lo political campaign funds, marks the cli- max of the inquiry so far, although those who have been following the evidence 'closely are by this time prepared for almost anything. "Mr. Sweezey admitted that sums 'aggregating close to a million dollars were en to the campaign funds of the Liberal d Conservative parties, with the Liberals guring the major share of this amount, 'one statement being in the affect that the federal Liberal party and the Quebec Liber- al party had received between $600,000 and $700,000 by Mr. Sweezey. : No individual, nor corporation either, that matter, is going to spend close to a ill dollarg in contributions to political party funds without expecting something bstantial in return, The people of Canada the light of other evidence which has given, might be pardoned for consid- 'huge payments as being in the fure of bribes. Naturally, Mr. Sweezey 'his associates would expect something return for their expenditures, and what ould be more natural than that that some- ng should take the form of legislation or orders-in-council concerning. the great project in which they were interested. That k how the average man would look at the atter, and will have to be a great al of explaining before he will be satisfied these contributions to political cam- funds were given in a purely disinter- and patriotic spirit. ' rm tm : {SAVING MONEY WITH COKE. na make? never had a wreck. a instead of coal, but he gave full instructions on the proper way to burn coke. Discussions of this kind in parliament are very helpful. A few more of them would make the house of commons a school of economy, and would make available, through the pages of Hansard, much sound advice on reducing the cost of living. Mr. Rhodes advice, however, is of particular in- terest in this district, where an effort is be- ing made to build pu a sufficient amrket for coke to justify the building of a coke oven plant. People nowadays are anxious to keep living as low as possible, and Mr. Rhodes _ ideas on the fuel question provide a practi- cal means towards that end. WOMEN IN THE MINISTRY. At a recent meeting of the Cobourg Pres- bytery members decided by standing vote in favor of admitting women as Elders in the United Church of Canada. That is the thin edge of the wedge. From Elders they will be seeking ordination as preachers, and why not? It is obvious that their entry into the ministry would not be without opposition, but that opposition is not likely to express itself in a declaration that women are unfitted for the responsi- bilities. Women have entered into business and the professions and have made good and it would be passing strange were the ministering sex excluded from the ministry on the ground of unfitness. EDITORIAL NOTES. Many war veterans who are out of work will doubtless be glad of the opportunity of signing up in a labor battalion--even at a dallar-ten a day. Oshawa people are not blessed with luck. All the automobiles given away by local or- ganizations this year have gone out of the city. .R. O. Sweezey's evidence at the Beauhar- nois probe reveals where some of the money came from to pay for the extensive radio broadcasts of leaders' speeches in the last election campaign. Just thing of how much employment it would give were men to be set to work with shovels and buckets to shift the coal piles at the Oshawa harbor.

People know that continuous ad- vertisers put themselves squarely behind their products. Continuous advertising is a tested guarantee of quality. Continuous advertising builds stronger relations between buyer and seller. Continuous advertising not only makes present sales, but lays the way for future sales, Those concerns who are continu- ous advertisers of quality have a wonderful business because they have used the best known method of getting it, % It is a well known fact that only true quality can stand the light of continuous advertising.

It 1s readily sebn that a strain in"the system is a strain on the eyes directly or reflexly. It is also a direct strain on the eye and eye muscles to be exposed to glare, moving traffie, constant fixation, ete. Wasted energy is nerve weaken- ing and discouraging and means of lowering efficiency. What does efficiency mean to you or to your employer? It affects the pay envelope and your hope for future promotion or success. In the interest of education, eyesight and eficiency--teachers, parents and students should study the function of vision and the care of the eyes. Parents should know because of their children and because of their own eyes earning them a living. Teachers, because of the children in their care, its necessity in acquiring an education and finding the proper vocation, The student. will be in a position to know for himself when he attains to the "age to know, and in the meantime we must be expected to do our duty as humanely as possible.

Constable "Ted" Hill, of Madoc favestighted, RTs ' A case of infantile paralysis is re- ported from a district of Eastern Ontario and as a result the District Medical Officer of Health has issu- ed for publication by the leading newspaper what purports to be in- formation for parents to be on the look-out for symptoms of this dread disease. In this circular, or what cver one likes to call it, parents are asked to be on the look-out for "marked rigidity" (which is not so bad), headache "localized in the frontal region" or in the "occipital region", "lumbar pain, accentuated with flexion of the spine", "a slight infection of the fauces", "hyperaes- thesia", "tremor", and "a circumor- al pallor." All the Town Crier can say 'is that the Health Officer con- cerned must take the parents of his district for perambulating encyclo- pediae. He is something like the old English divine who, for the in- formation of a child, defined sin & "the trangression of the law." With this doctor a spade is, of course, "an agricultural implement for man- ual tillage", Poor, parents. According to observation made by the Town Crier many local motor- ists believe that pedestrians have no rights at an intersection. Automo- bile drivers, and large numbers of them, when bringing their cars to a standstill in obedience to a "Stop" sign never hesitate to do so right on the usual pathway taken by pedestrians. In connection with this the Town Crier would like to suggest to the city's board of works that white lines, marking the in- tersections for pedestrians, be painted on the different crossings, this would at least be some recog- nition that there are such strange animals as pedestrians still to be seen on the streets and would also create work for a few unemployed.

WATERS President General Manager of the hymn "O Canada" to be sung at public gatherings, while the ques- tion of Canada having a national flag is, like the r, always with us. The Town Crier would like to suggest, however, that before the general run of Canadian citizens embark on any academic debate re- garding these two matters that they learn how to sing "God Save the King" according to the music. 'It may not be generally known, and certainly is very seldom acted upon, that the first word of the last or seventh line in each verse, "God" in every instance, lras three notes accordipg to the orthodox rendition of the music. In this great Dom- inion, however, except by trained choirs and similar organizations, it is usually given only two notes and sometimes even only one. "If a thing is worth doing it is worth doing properly," and if the National Anthem is wgrth singing, let us sing it correct] y. . Rev. Dr. J. U. Tanner, Superin- tendent of Home Missions in Que- bec for the United Church of Can- ada, speaking in Whitby on July 12 (The Glorious Twelfth) told of what is being done in our neighbor- ing province by United Church mis- sionaries. The Town Crier (who is not a Roman Catholic), wonders what the attitude of the Orangemen in Ontario would be if the author- ities of the Catholic Church in Que- bec adopted similar tactics toward this province. Surely there are un- Christian peoples among which the United Church of Canada can find an outlet for its missionary zeal without attempting to proselytize good Christian Canadians whose method of worship and creeds exist- ed centuries before the United Church was ever thought of. Co- operation, harmony, and mutual re- spect between the different churches are better than enmity, rivalry, or as a unified nation among the na- tions of the world, LJ . * Miss E. M. Penrose, an English woman, is credited by the provin- cial authorities of British Columbia with almost infallible powers as a "water diviner" and is being em- ployed by the Provincial Govern- ment in searching for water in a drought stricken area. The Town Crier knows many men in Oshawa who, apparently, have the same gift although they practise it in a differ- ent manner. They can "sense" when the author of this column has any wet goods in his cellar from a mile away. * . Oshawa's lacrosse team, The Mo- tor City Seniors, are "going out of business" owing to the financial entanglements caused by lack of support from local fans. The ag- gregate total taken in gate receipts for three home games this season amounted to $63, out of which the Oshawa team was supposed to pay the expenses of the visitors. Evid- ently all the recent talk about a "revival of lacrosse" was so much hypocritical balderdash, .and would not stand the strain put upon it when some of the talkers were ask- ed to contribute towards such a re- vival by the purchase of admission tickets for the games, at a quarter of a dollar apiece. * » . How many boys who ride bicycles realize that it is now a punishable offence under the Highway Traffic Act to ride a bicycle on the streets after dark without a light? The Town Crier believes that parents are chiefly at fault in this matter as it is undoubtedly a fact that cycl- ists, chiefly young boys and youths, can be seen any night on the streets of the city without lights on their machines. One of these evenings, some lad will figure in an accident and then he himself, and also his parents will wake up to the fact that a cyclist without a light after dark is "ipso facto ultra vires" or words to that effect, * * = The members of the City Fire and Police Departments have set an ex- cellent example to other men who are, during this time of widespread unemployment, in receipt of a fixed regular salary by voluntarily don- ating three per cent. of their salar- ies towards unemployment relief work. The Town Crier, who is for- tunate enough to be in receipt of a weekly salary himself, believes that the mairity of regular wage earn- ers in Oshawa only need to be giv- en the initial impetus in order to follow this example and make a similar contribution, provided the fund thus created was properly ad- ministered and expended in some direction that would in no way re- lieve the pre®ent expenditures made from civic funds contributed to by taxation. No person should be ask- ed to contribute monies towards the relief of the city treasury except through taxation, but a fund creat- ed through such voluntary contribu- tions as made by the police and firefighters 'might well be used in many b ways g the Possibly if the City unemployed. Council passed 'a formal resolution requesting wage-earners to make contributions, and sponsored public meetings for a discusion of the matter, something would material- ize. The Town Crier believes that more money could be raised in this manner than by any tag day or other usual means. THE TOWN CRIER.
