"SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 5th, 1931 a Garbage Collection We are convinced that the Oshawa Board of Health, as a body, is fully aware of its responsibilities to the city as a whole and "%hat it is carrying out its duties with the object of maintaining a high standard of ealth in the community. We are, therefore, ot going to indulge in any destructive crit- cism but would rather wish to commend e Board for its past activities. On the other hand there is one matter which we would like to draw attention-- he necessity for a greater number of gar- ge collections, especially at this season of he year, in several districts of the city. & During September housewives all over £Canada, this city being no exception to the "rule, are engaged in "doing down" fruit, Uvegetables, and other produce for winter Buse. The result of this is that household arbage is almost doubled with peelings and ther refuse from this work. © Garbage cans are full to over-flowing long Spefore the regular call of the collector and Besides littering up yards and back door- 'steps this is not, in our opinion, conducive good health. The Board possibly only need to have this brought to their attention in order that fmat'ers may be rectified. The Panny Bank * ve ool children are evidently use of the Penny Banks es- this -city, in conjunction with Sthe schofls, only nine months ago. The 5 ing made by this city, according to the report of the Provincial Inspector, ost creditable one. It is is interesting to note that according this report the average number of de- itors in the school which deposits the west amount in Oshawa is equal to the average number depositing over the whole province. This means, of course, that every school 'in Oshawa, except one, is above the average for the schools using the bank over the whole province. % "Train up a child in the way he should go. and when he is old he will not depart 2 from it," is as true today as the day it was st thought of as a precept. Mery ns Oshawa : A Grave Warning i Admiral of the Fleet Earl Jellicoe, upon whose knowledge of such matters rested, ito a great extent, the safety of the British Empire during the Great War, issued a ser- Lous warning in Toronto the other day #when he spoke on the subject of the Brit- ish policy in carrying out naval reductions. . If Earl Jellicoe is correct in his opinions, (and there is no newspaper in Canada in a position to either deny or confirm them), 'then the Empire is "riding for a fall" and ~ the lessons of the last war have already 'been forgotten. Whether they are correct or not the op- "inions of Admiral Jellicoe must always bear great weight on matters of naval protection the Empire and. should, therefore, be 'read and studied with serious thought by Levery citizen in that great Commonwealth of Nations. Drifting Back to the Farm Reports of a strong movement back, to he farm from the cities come from Chat- m, in Kent. 'The story says that many ople who had retired from the farm and en to urban life are now drifting back p their former habitant, where they are ising crops and earning a living, some- ling they were unable to do in the city. » marked has this movement become, it is , that the clerk of Howard Township is uoted as authority for the statement that there is not a single vacant house in the municipality, and the population is 400 'more than it was a year ago. . Much has been said and written about 'necessity of a back-to-the-farm move- 'ment in order to even things up from an conomic standpoint, but apparently it has ken a blow from Old Man Depression to this an accomplished fact. Folks who ive on the farm will tell you that there is money in farming at the present time, ~ but, apparently the people of Kent County . who have forsaken city life on favor of that the rural communities are finding that e is no place like the good old farm af- all. It would be a splendid thing. for tario, and for the cities in particular, if this back-to-the-farm movement became general, and those who are finding it.impos- sible to secure work in the cities could be persuaded to adopt the market gardening or farming idea as a means of getting away from the economic slough of despond in which their feet have become entangled.

Maybe it would be all right for Stalin to repudiate the Czar's bonds if the old Rus- sia had called itself the Confederate States. --Robert Quillen.

The English sparrow, it is claimed, is an enemy of the Japanese beetle but this is not likely to disturb the existing international alliances.-- Pittsburg Post-Gazette. There were gangsters in my day, too, but their fathers took them home and spanked them. The gangsters now are bad boys who didn't get enough spankings. -- Mrs. Harriet Abbott Clark, religious leader of Portland, Me. . Other Editor's Comments A TRAGEDY AND A WARNING (The Ottawa Journal) The drowning of five young Dominican priests in the Ottawa River comes as a sad climax to a season which has scen more than its share of tra- gedies in the waters in and around Ottawa, Six Dominicans set out from the Quebec shore in a row-boat with outboard motor. Not one was able to swim. In rough waters near the Ontario shore the craft upset and only one of those aboard was saved. There is a double warning to others in this shock- ing affair: two lessons are to be drawn. As in the case of a similar accident in the river near Rock- cliffe earlier in the season, the boat apparently was loaded beyong the limit of safety. Six men and an outboard motor must have weighed between 900 and 1,000 pounds. The boat was heavy in the water, and every gallon it shipped reduced the safety margin. In even a moderately rough river the boat so over-burdened was bound to take water, and in the passage of the broad Ottawa enough went over the sides to capsize it. The boat turned upside down and the six men clung desperately to the bottom. Two of them gave absolution to the others. One by one five of them Jost their grip, slipped down into the river to death. The survivor was able to support himself until help reached him. All of them had been in residence beside the river--they had not learned to swim and were helpless in an emergency when nothing could save them but their own efforts. To the Dominican brotherhood the public will offer profound sympathy in this disaster. It the people take to heart the lessons it offers, however, the lives of these five priests will not have been in vam, BITS OF HUMOR A MAGICIAN THESE DAYS "I say, Jimmy, what do you think of a man who deliberately makes a girl blush?" "I think he is a genius." NO DIFFERENCE The wealthy old lady was very ill and sent for her lawyer to make her will. Old Lady (weakly)--I wish to explain to you about disposing of my property. The Lawyer (very smooth and sympathetic)-- There, there, don't worry about it, just leave it to tne, 1 -ite Old Lady (resignedly)--Oh, well, IT suppose I might as welk You'll get it, anyway. A LITTLE CHARITY Caller--Good morning, sir. I'm a bond sales- i Jom Here's y an, Man--That""s all right, my good fellow, a quarter--go buy yourself a square meal. THAT WAS DIFFERENT Mother--Ralph, dear! Don't go too far out in the water. . at Ralph--But, look, Daddy's out a long way. Mother--I know, dear, but your father has his life insured. A CAREFUL SUITOR "Arthus, dad is in the billiard room. This is the moment to ask his consent to our marriage." "No, I'll wait until he is in the library." "Why?" "Then he will have a book in his hand instead of a billiard cue." BITS OF VERSE ARE LOVELIEST The simple thing of earth are loveliest; A fire on the hearth, the lamplight's glow; The hour when the heart finds peace and rest A mother's lullaby crooned soft and low; The wayside blossom, tiny woodland stream That sihgs a happy, lilting roundelay; Soft, billowy clouds that drift as in a dream, The hush of dawn, the sun's last flaming ray, The friendly trees that give of fruit and shade, The tendrils of the grape-like clinging hands; O there are scenes more georgeously arrayed, But these the heart has known and understands. Mankind has reached the pinnacle of power, Has conquered land and sky and ocean's crest, And yet, when comes the heart's deep, prayerful our, He knows the simple things are loveliest. ¥ - ~--Margaret E. Bruner, Eye Care | and | Eye | ; Strain by C. H. Tuck, Opt, D. (Copyright, 1928§ YOUR CHILD AND THE EYES Part 31 The symptoms of strain upon the eyes of a child are generally noticed veasily and are among the following: Complete turning or a tendency of the eyes to turn in, cut, up or down, Twitching of the lids or of the face, Choretic movements, Slitting thd lids of eyes close together in the effort to see, Turning the head side- ways to see better, closing one eye only. In some cases Nausea and vomiting may be found, Car sickness when riding or driving in street cars, buses or motor cars may be due to eyestrain. Marked headache is, of course, a common symptom. During school life eye strain, may be due to an improper use of the eyes. In fact, bad habits in the use of the eyes may he a petter way of expressing it, be- cause many of the recurring headaches of later life are due to an improper use of the eyes during school life. (To be Continued) THAT the problems of securing new business are the same to-day as they have always been. The most important of these prob- lems is how to secure increased volume of business at the least cost, Mpdern business concerns have found that continuous advertis- ing through the printed page is the safest, surest and cheapest way to secure continuous busi- ness. The printed page is used by all the people ag an information bur- eau, because advertisements show what/ ig on the market and where to bly everything needed. People know that continuous ad- vertisers always offer them the newest and best of quality. BUSINESS GOES WHERE IT IS INVITED AND STAYS WHERE IT IS WELL TREATED.

The swimmers would go out towards the middle of the lake and then turn round and come back again, When they got back to shore they would skylark and play around like mudlarks, throwing handfuls of sand at each other like school kids, men and women shrick- ing with laughter while enjoying this play. The Crier used to think that these people took life rather easily and pleasantly, and sometimes wondered how in the world the large, portly gentleman ever paid the grocer and the butcher let alone managed to replenish his cigarette case. And then comes the story, or rather two stories, of grim deter- mination which carried members of the happy Lakeview Park Camp to victory against heavy odds, carried them to a victory which, probably, would never have been possibic ex- cept for the large, portly man with the cigarette. The name of Johnny Walker was once famous through an excellent brand of whiskey on sale in England in pre-war days, the same name is now again fam- ous, although spelt a little different- ly, through the tenacity, courage, and knowledge of psvcholozy to be found in the make-up of a large, portly man smoking a cigarette, "= x a Shortly after noon on Friday a policeman stepped out into the cen- tre of the intersection on the Four Corners and, ignoring the traffic lights, directed ail traffic to proceed northwards holding the traffic on King Street at a standstill in the | meantime, While this was on about forty automobiles, driven by private citizens and carrying complete strangers as passengers, passed up Simcoe Street, each car having a neat printed card hung in the rear Elsie spent Sunday in Toronto and visited Riverdale Park.

CENTRAL CANADA IAN axp SAVINGS COMPANY Head Office: Comer King and Victoria Streets, Toronto Branch Office: 23 Simcoe Street North, Oshawa reading "Welcome to the Mississip- pi Train" Why? Because the State of Mississippi sent a delegation to Oshawa just to make friends. Yes, but hy all the cars? Because Osh- awa citizens welcomed that friendly gesture as something worth reci- procating. That was the reason for the policeman, the ignored traffic lights, the delay in traffic cast and west, the extra wear and tear on privately owned cars, and for the absence of so many public-spirited citizens from their places of bus- iness for well over an hour on Fri- day morning. That is all, but sure- ly something really worth while, . 5% If the monkeys at the Cream of Barley Camp in Bowmanville have time that this column appears in The Times then the Town Crier has a suggestion to make.

Oshawa's representative in the big swim this week at the Canadian National Exhibition, William J.
