TUESDAY, JULY 28th, 1931 THE PENSION TRIBUNALS The people of Oshawa, and particularly he war veterans, are having an opportun- ty this week of observing the operation of pensions tribunals. This, the first visit 'of the tribunal to Oshawa was awaited with a great deal of anxiety by scores of 'veterans and their families, and also th a_good deal of curiosity. as to.the pro- edure followed. Judging from the open- day's proceedings, the procedure is 'Somewhat like that of a civil court, with he applicant for pension as the plaintiff, he government of Canada, or the Board Pension Commissioners, as the defend- nt, and with both parties represented by 'founsel. The evidence is heard, by exam- pation and cross-examination, counsel have the right to address the court, and : cisions are either given immediately or | reserved. Reserved decisions, however, are usually given the next day or the day fol- ¢ lowing, according to the time required to . consider the evidence. On the bench with : 3 the judges sits a medical advisor, but it is Sebot clear whether he represents the claim- ant or the board of pension commissioners, or is supposed to hold the balance evenly Achetween the two parties. {5.5 So far as that part of the tribunal busi- | mess goes, it seems satisfactory, although there is some doubt as to whether or not _« $he tribunal members have sufficient time : give a thorough study and consideration ¢ to the evidence, or whether they simply . 88ccept the advice of the medical advisor. | Sian The coming of the tribunal to Oshawa, * ithowever, has let loose a great deal of dis- satisfaction as to the delay in having cases * heard. In the three days' session here, fourteen cases are listed, some of these being from Bowmanville and Whitby. These are cases which have waited since last fall a hearing. 'In addition to these, how- y there are some 25 cases in the files of the 7justment office of the Oshawa " Branch .. the Legion which were referred to the tribunals' from four to eight months * ago, and which were not listed for hearing at this session. Some of these are urgent * eases, in which there is great hardship, yet n appeal made a month ago by the Legion have these added to the list brought no jponse, the reason given being that the were not complete and the cases there- "not ready to fo on.

The Toronto papers dre stil to blacken the reputation of unemployed by exaggerated stories of their activities. No parade could have been more orderly than that held yesterday, yet it was played up as sensational by certain Toron- to papers. In spite of all that is being said, the On- tario Shoré Gas Company is about the largest employer of unskilled labor in Osh- awa at the present time. Belleville votes on its gas p laws this week, and, because of the ultimate effect of these bylaws on Oshawa, the re- sult will be awaited here with keen interest.

DISPATCH, BAYS: THAT towns and cities are just what the citizens of the com- munity see fit to make them, If the people residing there are sold on their town and its industries and retail stores, they will show it by word and act. It is unfortunate that so many people are laboring under the impression that it is necessary for them to make a large share in larger cities than in their own, The retail merchants will gladly carry the complete stocks of everything the community wants it they are patronized so as to Justify stocking of certain styles and character of merchandise. Every dollar spent out of your city is a dollar lost and it effects one way or another every indi. vidual. It behooves you te sub- scribe and read your newspaper and furthermore to read and re. spond to the advertising that is curried in your newspaper. Suppose there would be no news- papers for your city. What kind of a town would you have? The winute such a sensational an- nouncement that the newspapers were going to cease publication in your city were to be made, the entire population would pe up in arms, begging the publisher to continue--that "they must have a newspaper.' Through the advertising columns of your newspaper, you have all the up-to-date news of the stores. You cannot only do your advance shopping and save time in the purchasing of wearing apparel, things for the home, but you can cut down your food and grocery bill by buying advertised prod ucts. Newspaper advertising has long since ceased to be an experiment. When a single tobacco company will invest $10,000,000 in one year in newspaper advertising, it is evidence that hoth men and women read advertising. Last Mierch in Brooklyn, N. Y., the May Specialty Shop sold 15,000 dresses in a single day from a single newspaper advertisement. The crowds were so congested and so large when this sale open- ed that 25 women were injured. Not only retailers but the manu- facturers throughout the United States are showing their appreci- ation for advertising.
