FRIDAY, TOLY 24th, 1981 OSHAWA NOT TO BLAME It is gratifying to the people of Oshawa know that this city is not one in which e police deliberately set speed traps for yotorists, with the intention of squeezing 8 few dollars out of tourists from the Unit- d States. A great stir hast been created the last week or two by charges emanat- o from the Michigan Motor Club that in ain Ontario communities the constables » operating speed traps, and were treat- g the motor tourists quite unfairly. Pub- v of this kind does not do this province + good. Rather does it give it a bad Shame in the United States, and might very 'well hinder the coming of thousands of "tourists to the province. 1 The contention of those who have been ng the complaints in this matter is {that the constables who adopt this practice {ido so because of the fact that they are paid "according to the amount collected in fines, ; + and that they thus victimize the touring #5 motorists to make up their own salaries. If "that is the case in any municipality in On- og then this practice should be stopped oo once and publicity given to the communi- ties responsible. It is not fair that a 'blanket charge should be made against the | towns and cities of Ontario, when the truth {lis that only one or two of the smaller places "are to blame for the whole trouble. Osh- 'awa has been informed, in response to an : | Anquiry made by the secretary of the "Chamber of Commerce, that this city does "mot figure in the list of complaints. That J satisfied the people of Oshawa, but it is not Senough. The authorities who are hand- ing the matter, should go a little farther, d publish a list. of the municipalities that do figure in the list of complaints. Only that way can justice be done to the many laces in the province where motorists are i ted with the utmost courtesy, respect and hospitality. THE CRISIS OVER ~The economic crisis in Germany is over «the present. The seven-power confer- ence in London yesterday adjourned, after reaching an agreement on measures which 'will stabilize German finance and industry, sand remove the danger of financial ruin for scountry, an occurrence which would "had serious consegeunces to trade commerce throughout the whole civiliz- 0! It is not pretended that this ment means a permanent solution of difficulties in which" Germany found If, but the way has been paved for a justment of the national finances, and providing of long term credits, which enable the country to make a gradual ive recovery. portance of this Agreement is that it possible for the Hoover war debt ) um plan'to operate freely; and to nplish the benefits which .it is expected ll come from it. It is for this that the orld hass been waiting anxiously during last month, and now-that this has been. ccomplished, there should be a steady im- yement in economic conditions on the nent of Europe, which provides sub- ial markets for the products of this nent. That is what is needed to sti- industry in both Canada and the d States, ee, ahd 1 ig Soke boned that J il not long before the beneficial effects agreement made between Be of the world are felt. DERSTORMS MISS OSHAWA rain, but saving their deluges and bolts for some other place. again there have been. severe storms here, but this dis- gio de. 'only the tailend, and on the next day, we would read of being struck, barns burned down, led, and other severe damage done re else in Ontario. We cannot quite eth this has been the case in Suymers, but if it has, advan over other EERE ye aa ae at Gi 0 ing Director Mundy, perhaps, to refer this matter to its indus- trial commissioner, so that, if this condi- tion is the average vondition in Oshawa, the city could use it to the fullest extent for advertising purposes. It may, of course, be only coincidence that things have happen- ed this way this summer, and the next thunderstorm that gouges along may retal. fate for our temerity in Oshawa has an immunify from such visit- ations by letting the city have its full force. NOBODY WANTS THEM The much-discussed herd of buffalo con- tinue to find excellent grazing at Lake- view Park, the effort of the parks board to. dispose of them having failed to bring results so far. It was thought that there would be quite a demand for 'these rare animals, and that other municipalities would be falling over themselves in an ef- fort to secure at least one of them. But not so! The fame of these animals must have spread abroad, in a manner similar to the incense which has made them so ob- jectionable to those people who. live, work and play in the vicinity of the park. There is still a possibility that the federal de- partment of lands' and forests may take pity on them in their plight, and may re- move them to some happier hunting grourfds. But nobody else seems to want them, so, for the present, all unaware of the worry and anxiety they are causing, the herd of buffalo continues to amuse the children and creates varied sentiments in tie Jind of the adults who visit Lakeview ark. EDITORIAL NOTES If, as Mayor Marks suggests, the council intends to go ahead with the building of the sewage disposal plant as soon as gov- ernment help is available, it would be good business to have all the preliminary details arranged so that there will be no delay in getting the work started. In giving employment to married men and war veterans, the Ontario Shore Gas Company will create a splendid amount of good-will for itself. At least one of the local unemployment leaders is finding it a distinct disadvantage. that he is unable to speak and understand the language of many of his followers. Now that former Premier King has de- nied any connection with the Beauharnois Power Company, and has explained his trip to Bermuda, it will be interesting to see if his opponents ever use Senator McDou- gald's story against him in an election cam- paign. The "sea serpent" supposed to have been captured in Lake Erie, has turned out to be a fake. But there are still plenty of peo- ple who really believe a monster of that type was seen off the Oshawa beach. BITS OF HUMOR THIS 1S TERRIBLE A man complained in court that his wife threw his clothes out of the window. , Lucky he didn't follow suit. Aha PRACTICAL PSYCHOLOGY -Marks--I don't know what to do with that dog. I've tried a dozen times to give him away, but no one wants him, Jinks--Tried to give him away? Why that's no way to get rid of a dog. Ask fifty dollars for him? ADAM'S ALE "I see you made your pile, Jones, Pen I take it. Made it on "But you are a bootlegger?" "Yes, but the money I made was made out of water, out of the water I put in, every cent of it." IN THE ROUGH As a result of a landslide at a seaside resort tons of chalk crashed onto the beach, It is under- stood that the police formed a cordon to keep the crowd of excited milkmen back. HER AWFUL SECRET "Miss Paynter is a chatty little person, but some- times when I look at her she seems like a woman who has a terrible secret." "She has." "I was sure of it. Have you any idea what it is?" "Yes; she is forty-seven years old." HER FIRST GAME "You want to stop now!" cried the incredulous golfer, "but we've only played three holes." . was her first day at golf and she said: "Well, told me that the par for the round was 76 ye played that number already," ber BITS OF VERSE ANSWER If you leave me? I shall not die Or make grief a trumpet To shatter the sky. I shall not ask For anything more, But to walk according To natural lore, One foot behind Thewother before, rise at morning p at night 3 in Sarkness i iy 1 shail . To a my bn ay I shall not die; T shall be dead. ~J. Simon, in the Spectator, suggesting that to a bysta "Al's he Undeaiably, sunshine comes first among San Diego's material gifts. From it flow all the greater bless- ings of life in this strangely sti- mulating sundown city. The vis- |} tors' reaction to San Diego sun- |i shine is manifested in a desire to be out-of-doors at all times. Shortly after my arrival in San |} Diego I was taken under the cap- pable wing of W. F. Raber, presi- | li dent of the San Diego California Club, the city's community ad- vertising organization, and the oldest of its kind on the coast. Under the able guidance of Mr. Raber, several hours were devoted to a tour 'of the city's historical landmarks and scenic attractions. Down through the city we drove, past the waterfront and the grey warriors of the fleet; on past Lindbergh Field where Lindy be- gan his memorable flight and thus to Old Town San Diego where civilization on the west coast hegan, Standing on the crest of Presidio Hill, among the mouldy tiles and the grass grown ruins of California's first mission, we looked out upon the wide bay of San Diego to the protecting arm of Point Loma in the dis- tance: Standing on that mellow- ed ground above the city Mr. Ra- ber told me briefly of the discov ery of Sad Diego by that intrepid conquestador, Juan Rodriquez Ca- brillo. THREE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-NINE YEARS AGO, it was, in September of 1542 (65 years after the first settlement at Jamestown, Virginia) when two quaint ships, the San Salvador and Vietoria beat their way through the Silver Gate and came to rest as the first "ships or white men ever to land on the Califor. nia coast, From Presidio Hill we through Mission Hills along wide paved streets lined with palms and row on row of beautiful resi- dences. Driving steadily east- ward through a portion of the 90 square miles that make up the city, we rolled upon the great white arch of Cabrillo Bridge and into the heart of 1400 acre Bal- boa Park. At the end of the bridge on our left rose the shine ing tower of the California Build- ing; ahead the beautiful portals of the Fine Arts gallery, famous as an example of Snani«h Renais- sance architecture and housing an exhibit of art from old Spanish masters, I learned with surprise from Mr, Raber that the Zoologi- cal Garden, situated in the heart of the park, is now rated as third largest in the United States and second in its varieties of speci- mens.
