The record of the unemployment census | in Oshawa shows how great is the need for | 'action in'the direction of providing work | for these men. Already over 1500 names | have been registered, and it is likely that 'there are still others whose names do not as yet appear on the list. In a city of the 'size of Oshawa, this is a regrettable situa- | gion, yet it is no use crying about it. thas to be faced, and faced with a determina- tion that whatever measures are adopted, they will be adequate to cope with its mag- nitude. The number of unemployed has shown an appreciable increase since the month of June, and it was about that time that The Times urged that the governments of Canada and the province of Ontario should recognize that an emergency situa- tion existed then, and should lend immedi- "Wate aid in dealing with the problem. £2 That was over two months ago. Mean- while, the emergency has been aggravated, and there is nothing being done as yet to relieve it. Families which might have been upported by state-aided employment have been forced to subsist on direct relief pro- vided by the city. For this condition, the federal and provincial governments must bear the responsibility. Appeal after ap- peal has been made to them since June, but 'they have turned a deaf ear to these ap- . peals, and have seemed deplorably callous to the needs of the families of the workmen © who have been unemployed. There is hope * © of course, that help will come soon, but even "when it does come, it is not likely that the {Sindifference and procrastination of the gov- ""ernments of Canada and the province of Ontario will soon be forgotten by those who have had to suffer hardship and want dur- ing this period of emergency. THE YOUNG PEOPLE SPEAK The executive officers of the Twentieth Century Club, the young people's organi- zation of Liberalism, has spoken with no uncertain voice regarding those of the party "who have become involved in the Beauhar- 'nois scandal. In a statement made after consultation with, the executive officers, John L. Wilson, president of the men's branch of the association, demands the re- "moval from positions of influence and trust responsible for accepting the Beau- * "harnois contributions to political party - funds. This gesture is significant. It shows that the younger people who are interested in politics are anxious tq have clean politics, to remove from political life many of the abuses which 'have been known to exist. There is hope for the future in this, if they | on can only keep their ideals of square dealing !%in public life and not, as they become older, | "become contaminated with the virus of the shady practices of some professional poli- | %ticians who have brought their party into / glee, That is the direction in which A lies, for sometimes when the eyes of youth become covered with the scales of age and experience, there is a tendency to "overlook things which seemed shocking in earlier years. May that not be the case with the young people of this country who are taking an active interest in its political Their freshness of viewpoint, and * clearness of vision and honesty of 5 palrpose are quite apparently needed in Can- ha pol olitics today, and it is a matter of regret that it should be possible for the young folks to administer a rebuke of this kind to their elders. CHANGED DAYS There were days. when individual mer- "chants engaged in business in keen competi- tion with each other, when they hardly re- onized each other on the streets, so keen was their rivalry, and when they bent all 'their energies towards taking an advantage of the other fellow. An instance of how times have changed was shown the other evening when a large group of grocers of the city of Oshawa gathered at Lakeview . Park for the annual picnie of the Superior Stores, joined together in good fellowship, with all business rivalries forgotten.' 'True, there is still some rivalry, but with there is co-operation, The businesses of these merchants still retain their indi- viduality, but they work together as a group in their buying and advertising, so that they are enabled to retail their goods at a lower cost to the consumer. In some re- spects, they are competitors, but they have recognized the new spirit in business, and are ready to co-operate for the purpose of 'helping each other knowing that as all suc- eco ds Hn Me. It. ceed, so will each individual merchant in the grou. succeed. This picnic was very significant of the changed trend of methods in business, and that the change is one for the better the merchants themselves will be the first to admit. GOODBYE TO THE BUFFALO HERD After putting up a valiant battle, the buf- falo herd at Lakeview Park has finally been packed into crates and transported to new destinations, three of them going to Ot- tawa, to the experimental farm there, and three to a new home in the Riverdale Zoo, Toronto, where,. doubtless, many Oshawa people will again make their acquaintance. It was a real wild west show that was staged before the great animals were finally packed up for removal, and it seemed as if they strongly resented being moved away from the salubrious atmosphere of Oshawa-on- the-Lake. With their removal one of the distinctive features of Lakeview Park has passed away. Some will regret its passing; others who live in more close proximity to the park, will rejoice. * But it does seem as if the Parks Board missed a good opportunity of mak- ing money in connection with the capture and removal of the herd. Just think of the revenue which could have been earned by advertising the wild west stunts, and charg- ing a fee for ringside seats for the perfor- mance. EDITORIAL NOTES Last night's meeting showed the Osh- awa Branch of the Legion all ready for next week's big show. May their plans meet with the success they deserve. We must be developing a new race of Amazons when we find women literally fighting their husbands' battles, with fists. The citizens, unfortunately, cannot join in all the functions of the Legion conven- tion, but they all have the opportunity of turning out to welcome Earl Jellicoe to Osh- awa. Labor camps are now being established in the north. It will relieve the situation in the cities tremendously when they are actually in operation. The Lindsay Memorial Hospital is to be congratulated onthe opening of its new wing. Efficiently-operated and well-equip- ped hospitals rank among the finest assets of any community. \ Oshawa merchants who won prizes in a recent window-dressing contest are to be congratulated. Attractive window displays, coupled with intelligent advertising, will bring success to any line of retail business. Biologists tell us that lamprey eels main- tain existence by fastening themselves to fish. That is quite a tribute to the prowess of the swimmers who have been bitten by them while training at Oshawa-on-the-lake.. [ Other Editor's Comments THE END OF EMIGRATION (New Statesman and Nation (London)) ("Not only the Dominions but all countries of im- migration, including the United States, have within the past year taken special measures with a view to restricting immigration."--Report of the Overseas Settlement Committee.) As for Canada, there are two main facts to be kept in mind. The first is that, even in good times, the growing industrialization of the Dominion does not mean any material addi- tion to immigration from Britain; and the second is that the rural West is now far advanced in a process of revolutionary change. Forty years ago the de- velopment of the prairie provinces was entered upon, with ,unbotinded energy and confidence, because it was assumed that the empire of wheat involved an advancing West in which a population of twenty mil- lions, or thirty, did not seem an extravagant estimate, Wheat today spells something like ruin, while mani- festly the huge mechanized farm of tomorrow can-* not be the unit of a populous prairie region. Emi- gration to the English-speaking lands has ceased, and it has ceased because the doors, once open and welcoming, are now closed and barred. | BITS OF VERSE As you go plodding through this life You have both sad and happy hours-- But happiest is the one when you Can yell "Hurrah!

She has no idea how she came there or even what city it is. There is noth- ing about her with which to identify herself. © While a policeman is talk- ing to her a Joune man, Eric Hamil- ton, stops. ing that she Is in trouble he tells her he has seen her at the hotel where they find that she has registered in French as 'Miss Eve No- body of Nowhere." Hamilton volun- teers to call in his friend Dr, Carring- ton, a specialist In nervous troubles. Eve terrified, eludes the doctor and through a French porter in the hotel who says he once saw her in France but does not remember her name, she finds a cheap apartment in an obscure part of the town. * In the next apartment lives Ivy Dav- enport, a cabaret dancer with a weak heart. She is friendly, and persuades Eve to go to "Jake's" and take her ce until she is better. Her job at lake's is to entertain men at the iables and to dance with them, The other by Elizabeth Jordan girls there are crude but kindly and Eve finds the work not as difficult as she had expected, She is known there | as Miss Berson. She meets a young | man named Hunt; who frankly tells her that she doesn't belong there. | Eve does not like the atmosphere at | Jake's, but she does not know how to | do anything else, or thinks she doesn't | so when Ivy Is able to get back to | work she accepts the offer of a per- | manent job which Jake gives her. One evening when she is talking to the | freindly young man named Hunt one | of the other girls tells her there's a | man from the West whom Jake wants | her to entcrtain. | The men from the West is a total | stranger to 50 far as she can re- call, No m ry of her past life has yet returned, but the stranger acts and talks as if tley were intimate friends.

She had, indeed, a look that alarmed him-something of the look of an exhausted swim- mer, ready to go down. He led her to a bench and sat down beside her.

He would not like it She v-uld put on her hat to avcid giving him too sudden a shock. Th-=~ was a tap on the dcor and she hr-!2ned to open it.

"Let's go," she called back as she hurriedly added to it the garments of the night before, "We can slip out the back way." The room telephone tinkled, bit she was already in the hall, almost running. He took the suitcase and kept close ky her side, walking with long strides. His manner was nor- mal now, and he spoke so casually that her nerves relaxed. "Better go down the back steps," he advised, as she turned towsxd the service elevator. "Of course, I didn't think." #2 12d the way and she followed him, Framilton nicked up a taxicab. "Un into Central Park," he told the driver. "Make good time and Keep going till I tell you to stop." As the cab started he turned to his sil- ent companion and was shocked by her nallor, "here's nothing to worry about now," he hastily reminded her, She broke out with a desperatipn that horrified him: "perhaps not... till the next time! But I can't keep up this sort of thing--running from place to place, hiding or trying to hide as if T were a criminal. I can't en- dure it any longer." "Of course you can't......and you're not going to." He spoke soothingly, as he would to a child. "As soon as we get to the park I'll tell you how we can avoid any more running and hiding. But just now I want you to relax. There's absolute- 1y nothing to be worried about, and there isn't going to be any more worry for you in the future." She sighed, plainly unconvinced; but the quiet assurance of his man- ner had it's usual efefot, and he was relieved to see her look of high nervous tension give way to one that merely expressed utter hopelessness. 'Both were silent while the cab made its swift way up Fifth Avenue. When it entered the park Hamilton gave the driver another order, "There's a quiet little corner up at the northern end, where we can ed to Eve, "I've gone there several limes lately to think things out." * When they reached the quiet cor- mured. nex he paid and dismissed the chauf feur, while Eve glanced around 3 4: conditions existing when it was made.

I may be anything! It will be taking advantage of my one friend. It may put you into a position that | is simply horrible." "See here," he sald, "I won't have a moment of peace till I've safe- guarded you. Let's stop talking and go and be married." To his incredulous delight she rose as if the matter were settled. "But I've warnéd you," she re- minded him as they walked to the nearest roadway. "And I think," she added, "I shall despise myself for letting you do this." They followed the roadway, walk- ing several minutes before they found an empty cab to take them to the marriage license bureau. There, after the perfunctory details were over, Eric asked Eve: "Which shall it be--the justice or the clergyman? As it's only an af- fair of form, I suppose it doesn't matter, though I think the clergy- man would be better for our pur-| pose, | "I thing so too," she agreed, al-| most inaudibly, After that she did not speak until they reached the, East Side of the license bureau. 1 The clergyman filled in the miar-| riage certificate and offered it tol Eve, who took it and held it vaguely,' as if she did not know what to do with it. | Put it In your hand-bag," Hamil- ton said, and she followed the sug-| gestion as mechanically as she had! followed all the others, | As they descended the steps lead-| ing to the street, Hamilton put he) soft pedal on himself, with a firm foot.

Representing an increase of 31,- 000,000 bushels over the same period last year, 199,989,000 bush- els of grain were marketed on Canadian Pacific Railway western lines - during the twelve-month period since August 1, 1930. This gives the railway company a per- centage of 52.3 of all the grain handled in that period. More than 479,000,000 fish eggs, fry, tingerlings, and yearling fish and a few older fish were distri- buted last year from the hatchery establishments soperated by the Fish Culture Division of the Can- adian Department of Fisheries. Largest distribution was from the hatcheries in the Prairie Pro- vinces, Nipigon River Bungalow Camp Trophy competition is getting some fine entries this season. Re- cently a trout of seven pounds and one ounce was put in, and short- ly afterwards, a six pounds, fif- teen-ounce trout was taken.

Decoration will be in grain seeds, no paint of any kind being used. The Dutch wheat mixing law, effective July 4, enforcing a maxi- mum of 25 per cent. of soft do- mestic wheat in the making of bread in Holland, may lead to an increase of this percentage which should have the effect of creat- ing a great demand for Canadian hard wheat, says J.

"Development of Canada's ocean ports is mot merely a Dominion problem but is a matter of in- terest and concern to the British Empire and the world as well," is the conviction expressed by Sir Alexander Gibb, G.B.E, world famous engineer and authority on port development and operation, who has been called in to super- intend the rebuilding of the Saint John port facilities, recently des- troyed by fire.

Friday, August 21, 1931. We have received numerous re- quests to explain the significance of the name, "Ocavite." We thought that its ing was obvious: "OCAVI" stands for Oshawa Col- legiate and Vocational Institute; the suffix, "ITE" means "belonging to" or "native to". "Ocavites" are, therefore, students of O.C. & V.I. and "The Ocavite" is "the paper that covers all their activities," The September Number of "The Ocavite" goes on sale at Robert- shaw's Book Store and the Boys' and Girls' Branch of the Public Lib- rary, August 28th,. one week from today. It will also be for sale at the Collegiate the first few days of school. Only a limited number will be printed and, for that readon, co- pies should be procured early. May I tell you a little about the first issue? Starting with page one, we have "ST. SAM'S SOCCER SEASON," by Krypto," an Ocavite who wishes his name withheld. It is a unique school story in three parts, chronicling the resolves of a luck-forsaken team, driven to des- peration. The second and third in- stalments will follow in the October and November numbers. On page two there will be found "THE DISCOVERY OF THE AL- BERT NYANZA" by Sir Samuel | White Baker, the celebrated Afri- | can explorer who was the first to | reach "The Sources of the Nile." His account reads like the most stir- ring adventure story. Page three tells all about the new members of the staff; for example, you learn that one of them is an accomplished wrestler and repre- sented Canada on an Olympic team. Page three carries much other news besides. On page four there is an editorial and a special article by J. W. Adams of the Emersonian Institute, Wash- ington, D.C. It is "What Emerso- nians Thinks of Acta Ludi," an ap- preciation of the yearbook. On page four there will also be a surprising announcement! But what that announcement is must not be told till the day of publication. "Mum's" the word. T shall not tell you what's on page six either, Page five is devoted to "SPORTS". I just wish you could see the "head ing" which the artist of our staff planned for that page. Among other things, it shows a shower oi stars emanating from the heads of two Qcavites who are boxing. Therc are in the picture wrestlers, divers, marathon swimmers, and a basket- ball team for good measure. You never saw such a field day before! "The Ladies' Provincial Junior Tennis Champion" is another fea- ture article. On page seven there is a compre- hensive survey of the doings of the various student organizations. Page eight carries the jokes and personal items. Many Ocavites will find their names there.
