Tresidder, representative. SATURDAY, AUGUST 29th, 1931 An Outstanding Success The Canadian Legion Convention is over. After four days of business sessions and « brilliant entertainment, the delegates from all parts of the province of Ontario have departed for their homes delighted with the hospitality extended to them by the citizens of Oshawa and with the success of their de- . ~~ liberations during the business sessions. One must confess now that the Convention is over; that the Canadian Legion in On- tario has been well served by the hundreds of delegates and visitors who came here for the occasion. There never was, from the first, any fear that their behavior while in the city would be anything but the best, but we feel free to say now that they have maintained the highest traditions of the Service to which they belonged in war days, *® * LJ The resolutions passed by the Conven- tion and the discussions which took place at the various meetings indicate the wide scope of the interests of the Canadian Le- gion. They show that the Legion is not a self-centered organization caring only for the welfare of themselves in particular, but that it is interested in the national welfare and in the greater problems and economic dangers which are occupying the atfention of the best minds of the province of On- tario. The members of Oshawa, through the contact at the various events which formed part of the Convention proceedings, have learned something of the high ideals and sound statesmanship which animated the Legion from the highest rank down to its most humble member. We can honestly congratulate the Legion on the wise viewpoints which it has adopted n the matters which it had under discus- sion and wish them the greatest success in pursuing the objectives which were out- lined by these resolutions. * * * It is gratifying to the people of Oshawa to learn from the lips of Legion officers that the Convention held here this week . 'has been the greatest and most successful ever held in the province of Ontario. One of the most valuable conclusions reached during the Convention was the decision of the Toronto and district Command and the © Ontario Provincial Command, which had been at loggerheads for some months, to " bury the hatchet and to settle down togeth- er around the Command and to spend their days in a spirit of harmony and unity. For _ this resolution alone the Oshawa Conven- tion will be a memorable one and the dele- , gates have returned heme feeling that for ~ once every section of the province is in har- EA, x A x va mony with the ideals of the Legion pro- gramme of activity, *® * * It is gratifying, too, to know the tri- butes paid to the people of Oshawa for their hospitality, and to the Oshawa branch of the Canadian Legion for the splendid effort it made to ensure the success of the Con- vention. From the opening day, last Tues- day, until the closing session late last night, everything worked with the smoothness of a well-oiled machine and the rank and- file , of the membership of the Oshawa branch are to be heartily congratulated on the suc- cess of the arrangements which they have been planning for the last few months. It has been a good thing for the city to have the Convention here. It has brought new fellowships and new friendships; has given the people of Oshawa a new view- point of the Legion and what the Legion is, and now that it has gone, we once again echo the sentiment expressed in welcoming the Convention to Oshawa in the hope that the sessions held here have given inspira- tion to the officers and members of the Le- gion, and continue their splendid work of e to country, to empire, and to those who need their assistance. The Weight of Responsibility Premier George S. Henry, speaking at the civic banquet tendered to Earl Jellicoe . and the delegates to the Canadian Legion, is reported to have said "Responsibilities are sometimes heavy upon the shoulders of™ burdened with them .. .. . one would feel like laying down the gavel." 0.and the Dominion of Canada, in 0 with the rest of the British Em-. pire, are passing through a crisis in their history. Men at the head of the Dominion and Provincial Governfhents are undoubted- ly burdened with responsibilities which, in some cases, they did not look for when they entered the political arena. We believe, however, that in Premier Henry this Province has a man at the head of affairs who will steady the ship with a firm hand at the wheel, forgetting political partizanship and petty strifes in his efforts for the common good, and in this we are confident that all thinking citizens, even though of widely divergent political opin- ions, are one. Congratulations, Margaret! Margaret Ravior, of Philadelphia, AND OSHAWA, was again the victor in the wom- .en's swim at the Exhibition yesterday. Miss Ravior not only won, but also did something that no man or woman has ever accomplished before in an Exhibition swim. She "repeated." She thus proved that last year's swim was no fluke of good luck, no whim of fortune, but that she really is en- titled to the title: "Champion Woman Swimmer of the World." And that's that, and no argument about it. Oshawa people were particularly inter- ested in Miss Ravior because she and her mother have been residents of this city for the past six weeks. She has been training faithfully during that period in the waters of Lake Ontario, off Lakeview Park and was doubtless in wonderful shape for the big event. ..The Times extends its congratulations to Miss Ravior and to her capable trainer, Johnny Walker. Congratulations, too, to the other suc- cessful contestants. They all deserve it, particularly that plucky 18-year-old Toron- to girl, Ruth Downing, who captured sixth place. " The "Ex" Under the distinguished and delightful patronage of Admiral Jellicoe, whom Osh- awa was privileged to have as her guest on Thursday, the Canadian National Exhibi- tion was formally opened yesterday for its 53rd successive year. The great Canadian "Ex." holds the un- disputed title of "the world's greatest an- nual exhibition." That is something of which we Canadians may be justly proud. For it is no longer the "Toronto Fair," as some thoughtless people still call it, but rightfully belongs to the whole of Canada and is truly "national" in its scope. At yesterday's opening Hon. G. Howard Ferguson, Canadian High Commissioner, who is strong on bright ideas, came along with the suggestion that in 1933 or 1934 a mammoth British Empire Exposition be staged as part of the Canadian National. "I did a little feeling out before I left England," he said, "and I know that such a proposal would be received sympathetical- Iy» The idea sounds like a good one and with proper planning we have no doubt could be carried through to a successful conclusion. Incidentally it would undoubtedly increase the number of annual exhibitors from over- seas, both among governments and com- mercial institutions. Editorial Notes It's my mission in life to be the despised critic, the faultfinder. I must carp and scold till everyone despises me. That's what I was put here fore.--Sinclair Lewis. Tennis is making bums of our young players.--Dr. Summer Hardy, resident of the California Lawn Tennis Association. Other Editor's Comments « MR. BENNETT PROTECTS CANADA ; (Auckland Weekly News) By his insistence on the motto, "Canada First," and by his bearing at the Imperial Conference, Mr. Bennett showed his determination to protect the Canadian producer 1n the fields of both primary and secondary industry, against all competitors. The Empire is to come next to Canada, this being part of the process of retaliation against the United States, but there has been no compromise or uncer tainty about placing Canadian interests definitely ahead of those of any possible competitor. The term "economic nationalism" is to be applied in its most definite sense. BITS OF HUMOR Judge -- "So the two men were fighting with chairs? Didn't you try to establish peace?" Andy Johnson--'"Nossuh, Jedge. Dere won't no chair fo' me to use. Dey was usin' em bof." A cricket player had the misfortune to get several of his teeth broken by a ball from a fast bowler. The next time he had to face the same bowler he called out to him: "I say mate, I hope you're not after my teeth again!" "No," was the reply. this time!" BITS OF VERSE LONGING Today, my heart's an aching pain For England and its gentle peace. I even want the smoke and rain, The dull lit fires that never cease.

H. Tuck, Opt, D, (Copyright, 1928) YOUR CHILD AND THE EYES Part 256 Campaigns to conserve eyesight have long been important pro- grams, Eyesight conservation councils, eye clinics and safety council have shown and continue to show that good eyesight pre- vents accidents and increases ef- ficiency. Bad eyesight is often the cause of accidents. Many times it is remarked by the victim of the accident, "1 did not see'. Often the driver of the automobile ex- plained after the accident or viclation of the traffic law ... "I coud not see what was ahead of me." Usually glasses are recommend. ed for conservation eyesight ex- cept in those cases where the finproper tone of the muscles may be improved and in some of these cases comfort may be ex- pected without glasses being worn at all, A still further need of those afflicted with eye trouble is intelligent advice on the care of their eyes and health, as one bears upon another. There is no reasonable doubt that good eye- sight and good health go together quite commonly and anything that may be done to encourage, promote and maintain this union will tend to lengthen the span of 1.fe, (To be Continued) The Town Crier (NOTE. ~The opini rae i Ftumn each Siero. apt Seed vy Pi rued as being those of The Oshaws Times They a i contributed by | 2 Crhandent, opinions iim, n must be interpreted a ] > s such, on this column should be Dg "The To .

The big Legion convention is over. The large gathering of returned men has dispersed and delegates have returned to their homes. After all returned men are just the same as other citizens Those in attendance at the con- vention were not "returned men," a class apart, far from it. They were doctors, lawyers, ministers, priests, commercial travellers, retail merchants, manufacturers, bankers, civil servants, florists, clerks, laborers, grave-diggers, and all the hendreds of men who go to make up a community, con- tributing their share to make the community worth living in. Just ordinary eltizens willing to glve of their time and effort for the benefit of less fortunate citi- zens to whom they are bound by unbreakable ties of comradeship c¢ngendered by mutual service. A great British Naval Hero has visited Oshawa. The Town Crier saw him, and spoke to him. The Admiral was a very ordinary lvoking man but, after all, is it not ordinary looking men who niaoke the world go round? The extra-ordinary looking men who live in history are the exceptions rather than the rule. Another Canadian Nafional 1x- hibition opened yesterday. To- morrow to-day will be yestarday und yesterday to-day was to- morrow. 'The more I think of ijt thie less T think of it.

The temporary street signs which have adorned many inter- sections during the week for the bonefit of the delegates to the . Canadian Legion convention are, presumably, to be im§ediately removed. It would not bo a bad idea, in the opinion of the Town Crier, to let at least one of them stay up permanently.

He declared his path lies "straight ahead" on the course of the new rational government, Mr. MacDonald will direct the new regime with the utmost vig- or through Great Britain's pres. ent difficulties, it was said, The decision regarding his political future--whether he will retire when the government's work is completed--has been withheld until he learns the ver- diet of his constituents in Sea- ham Harbor, Durham. The La- bor executive meets there to-night to consider its position, It was considered probable the Seaham party would follow the lead of the national organiaztion and declare Mr. MacDonald could no longer be considered the lead- er of the party. Rt. Hon. Arthur Henderson, former foreign secretary, was el- ected leader of the British Labor party to-day to succeed Premier Ramsay MacDonald. Mr. Henderson will lead the Labor opposition in the coming special session of parliament against Premier Ramsay MacDon- ald's national government. The Seaham Labor party's de- cigion cannot affect Mr. MacDon- ald's present status in any way. It will only affect his position in the next general elections, And as the prime minister threw down the gauntlet to the Labor movement, the Conservative par- ty to-day unanimously approved the action of its leader. Rt. Hon. Stanley Baldwin, in joining the emergency government. But the prime minister arrived home at Losslemouth to-day from London denying reports that he had determined not to geek re-election. "The report I will not seek re- election is 'unreliable,' " he said. "I have come to no such decision yet." Rt. Hon, Philip Snowden, chan. cellor of the exchequer, said he would fight to a finish beside the non-partisan ministry but an- nounced that he would not seek re-election at the next genera! ejection. He said this decision was neade four months ago. The chancellor wrote the presi- cent of the Labor party in Coine Valley division, his constituency to this effect. It was learned simultaneously tl,at Prime Mihistor Ramsay Mac- Donald was awaiting the action of his constituents at Seaham before deciding on his future plans, but that in any event no would continue to give all his efforts to solving the presént na- tional situation. The chancellor made it clear that he had reached his decision some months ago and that he was not influenced by the present fin- ancial emergency. His statement ovidently referred to recent re- ports that he and Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald would not contest the next election. "1 {intimated to the prime minister four months ago that when the budget was through and I had carried out the large con- version operation which I con- templated, I should ask him to relieve me of my office and that under no circumstances would I attempt re-election," Snowden"s statement said. LABOR PARTY DECLARES WAR Repudiates Old Leader And Is "Again" the Government London, Aug. 29.--Labor has declared war on the new national government, headed by Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald. In a manifesto to the nation the general council of the Trades Urion Congress, the national ex- ecutive of the Labor party and tke consultative committee of the parliamentary Labor party call on the Labor forces to offer de- termined opposition to the new government. The full text of the manifesto follows: "The financial crisis, the true causes of which have not been publicly explained, has brought about the sudden resignation of the Labor government. Forces in finance and politics made de- mands which no Labor govern- ment could accept. The new co- alition government, for which the Labor government repudiates all responsibility, has been formed. It is a government of persons acting without authority from the people' "It is determined to attack the slandards of living of the work- ers in order to meet a situation caused' by the policy pursued by, \ private banking interests, in the control of which the public has no part, "It seeks to enforce a complete change in the national policy, not because - the nation's. resources have been suddenly diminished; not because the nation cannot al- ford to provide for the unemploy- ed; not because the budget cannot be balanced; but primarily be- cause the financial interests have decided that this country is set- ting a bad example to other coun- tries by taxing the rich to provide necessities for the poor. "Fundamentally, it is an at. tempt to reverse the social policy which in this country has, within limits, provided forthe unemploy- ed. aged, sick, disaliled, orphaned and widowed. The unemployment benefit is attacked on the ground that it strengthens resistance to wage reductions. These are mo- tives which impel the new coali- tion government in its policy of drastic cuts in social expendi- vre." MUCH INTEREST INNEW AUTO Frontenac Six Made Debut at C.N.E. Yes- terday A new car, the Frontenac Six, built by Dominion Motors, Limit- ed, makes its debut at the Cana- dian National Exhibition. It is indeed fitting that the bril- liant new six so essentially Cana- dian in character and purpose should be nameq after Count Frontenac, who was governor of New France in the 17th century and who played such an important part in moulding Canada's des- tinies. The Frontenac Six has been épecially designed to meet a growing demand in Canada for a smartly-designed, speedy, low- priced six-cylinder automobile which combines all round perfor- mances with economic operation and upkeep.
