The first month of autumn has arrived. Already for the past few nights there has been a chill in the air and we are reminded of the approaching winter. The fine weather is not over, however, and for a real holiday period we rather in- cline towangs the month of October if given our choice of the twelve months of the year. It may be a little chilly to swim, or to camp out at night, but the glorious natural col- ourings, the general atmosphere of attain- ment of an objective, the warm--but not too warm--sunshine, and glorious moon- light evenings, make a tour through On- tario in October something to be remember- ed for a life-time. No, the good weather is far from over with the arrival of September. Labor Day Next Monday, Labor Day, is probably the most popular annual holiday in industrial centres in Canada, the spirit in which it is kept being entirely "hoiday making" un- tempered with any spiritual or religious significance which other holidays may pos- sess. Thousands of citizens will be motoring over the highways of this province either driving for pleasure or proceeding to some definite destination to spend the holiday with friends. The highways are bound to be crowded with automobile traffic, es- pecially in the district of Oshawa situated, as it is, within easy distance of Toronto on No. 2 Highway. The City of Oshawa was recently com- plimented on being able to report no serious accidents over a week-end followed by a similar general holiday, and if the residents of this city and district make up their minds to use the highways safely and sane- ly, letting other people do as they wish, then Labor Day this year will see a similar report issued. We have read somewhere that a good rule is to hold the opinion that every other motor driver met on the highway is a fool until that driver proves otherwise. Trouble commences, however, when two of a kind meet. It would be a splendid thing if the people of Oshawa and the surrounding dis- trict could produce concrete evidence that there are no fools in this community. The Scout Jamboree Oshawa is to have hundreds of Scouts and Wolf Cubs, members of Troops and Packs from all over Eastern Ontario, as its guests on Saturday and Sunday September 19 and 20. The Boy Scout Association, a world-wide movement which contains within its mem- bership boys of every race, colour; and creed, has for its aims and objects the pro- duction of manly men, wholly men, ('we like that spelling better than 'holy,' and they both mean exactly the same). The citizens of Oshawa will have an op- portunity on this occasion to see the boys at work. They will have an opportunity i h@ of judging for themselves the value of the training which leaders in the movement try to carry out in their dealings with the boys and we are confident that the result will be unanimity in favour of the movement. 'I Was Misquoted" There is a little motto that some public speakers seem to carry around in their vest pocket, and it is this: "If you say anything which you find later meets with general disapproval, causing lame the news- . paper reporter for misquoting you and let the press worry about the embarrassment." It's funny how some people look at things. A man who is the soul of honor in other respects, and who would indignant- ly resent it if his word were doubted, would deliberately lie in an effort to escape criti- cism for something he has said in the course of a public address. Perhaps such men think it quite proper to blame the press on any and every occa- sion on the general principle that it gets so much criticism anyway that a little more, even though unjustified, will not do any harm, But whatever the reason or excuse the practise is nothing short of contemptible, and when one comes across a deliberate case - of this kind one is obliged to very much alter their opinion of the man involved, no matter how high his position or admirable his oratory. The press, like other human instruments, is not perfect, but reporters as a class are neither fools nor knaves, and their reputa- tion for accuracy and fair recording of ev- ents, as well as that of the newspapers they represent, is just as important to them as to men who are honored by being called up- on to give public addresses. Commercialized Sport Almost every sport today has become so commercialized and organized that rich fin- ancial prizes are at stake. Game for the game's sake has given way to the ideal of game for the money's sake. The zest of keen competition, in which skill is its own reward and defeat is no disgrace, is usually absent from our great commercialized are- nas, heavy with the atmosphere of great stakes. -- Rochester Democrat and Chron- icle. Editorial Notes Writer says that imagination is discour- aged in our public organizations. What about the official weather forecasts ?--Ot- tawa Journal. Fundamentalists seem to be a minority. There are 10 stores selling silk pyjamas to one selling outing nightshirts. -- Kingston Whig-Standard. George Bernard Shaw is enamored of things as he saw them in Russia. But G. B.

In days of so much over-production, it's almost a relief to read that Ottawa report which forecasts a shortage of wild ducks this year.-- Toronto Telegram. A traveler relates that he recently came across some African natives performing weird dances, yelling and banging clubs on the ground. Golf is played almost every- where now.--London Humorist. Riviere du Loup is to be a new provincial constituency in Quebec. But J. F. Pouliot, M. P., probably considers such a develop- ment relatively unimportant beside the ac- quisition of his much-discussed railway sta- tion for Riviere du Loup.--Brockville Re- corder and Times. BITS OF HUMOR The husband was seeing his wife away on a holi- day. "Ellen, dear," he said, "hadn't you better take some fiction with you to while away the time?" "Oh, no William," she replied; "you'll be sending me some letters!" Hearing that a stable lad was wanted at a cer- tain racing establishment, one of the boys of the village went to apply for the job. Outside the stables he met a jockey who had the bow legs peculiar to his profession. The jockey asked him his business. "I've come to see the boss about a job," replied the applicant. "Right!" said the jockey. The lad gazed in consternation at legs. "I might have known there he gulped. "I can't! "Just walk this way." the other's was a catch in it," DIPLOMACY Son--Pa, what does it mean here by 'Diplomatic Phraseology'? Dad--My son, if you tell a girl that time stands still while you gaze into her eyes, that's diplomacy.

This strain may best be considered as nerve strain or muscle strain, in other words cur sense of sight in its attempt to function naturally may do so at the expense of strain. When this is met with in the life of a child it generally points to a case where the child is below par physically. The strain in his ordinary seeing studying, etc., is done with too great a strain. Perhaps what is known as mus- cle strain may be in evidence.

Draws out the poison | [MINARD'S MY FRIENDS My house is hidden quite by shrub and vine Here at the ending of a little street, And though it boasts no grandeur of design, Each day I have some charming friends to greet. The robin builds beneath the eaves in spring, And, sheltered by the grape's protecting leaves, The wren keeps house. And when I hear him sing My cares I banish like' so many thieves. The bluejay, like a proud and stately king, Sits in the top-most bough across the way, The cardinal darts by on gorgeous wing, A timid dove comer, garbed in modest gray, And though the blackbird is a gossip bold And arrogant, I make him welcome, too; The wee canary with his wings of gold Flits by, and once I heard an owl's "tu-whoo." And, last of all, I have one steadfast friend Who stays with me though skies be dark or fair, The sparrow, who is always prompt to send Tis cheerful greetings on the morning air. Margaret E. Bruner.

In proposing a number of meas- ures for improving the present condition of international com- merce, industry and finance, the committee called on the politi- clans to spread through . the world, by all possible means, "'a general feeling of confidence." The European committee's chief recommendations to the commission may be summarized thus: The ultimate goal of efforts for eccnomic alleviation should be to make Europe a single market for the products of all countries of the world.

Macaulay said that un- fortunate publicity had been given to some cases of alleged persecution of American motor- ists, but a careful investigation had revealed that, while one or two cases might have been due to the over-zealousness of small town policemen, mainly based upon eous assumption.
