These figures show that, in a year which has brought a general decline in the auto- ~~ mobile industry, sales of General Motors products have actually shown an increase * over last year. For instance, the record of the industry throughout Ontario shows a decline of 24.12 per cent. In the face of that, General Motors sales showed an in- crease of 7.27 per cent., while sales of Chev- * yolet cars increased by 12.10 per cent. and .. Pontiac cars 15.65 per cent. Cars generally "in same price class as the Chevrolet showed a decline of 29.7 per cent. in Ontario sales. "but the Chevrolet itself had an increase of 12.10 per cent. As one of the speakers at the luncheon * said, this record of sales in a year when other companies are going backwards, is nothing short of amazing. It indicates a genuine preference for the products which are turned out of the Oshawa factory of General Motors, and leads one to believe that, when normal business conditions re- turn, this city will enjoy a large measure of business and prosperity because of the consumer preference which has been built up in times of depression. This record, too, shows that the executives and sales forces of General Motors have been making tre- mendous efforts to keep the local plant in operation on as large a scale as possible. and that, in comparison with other units within the atuomobile industry, these ef- forts have met with a measure of success. Oshawa, naturally, is interested in this, and one cannat help expressing the hope : this progress will be continued by the General Motors of Canada, Limited, so that, in due course, the city will reap the full "benefit of what has been done by a force- "¢ul and energetic sales department. Saving the Crops The province of Ontario is harvesting the most abundant crop of grain, vegetables and fruit that we have ever had. At the pres- ent time, vegetables are so plentiful that they can hardly be given away. Unfortun- ately, notwithstanding this abundance, "S.. many families in every community are in 'want. In many cases, they would not know "what to do with certain vegetables and {i fruits if they received them free. It is «surprising the number of people who have +no idea how to cook anything except the ¢smost common things in the line of vege- tables and fruit. +. Two things are needed. First, a plan for "distributing to those in need the produce that is going to waste just now, second, an organized effort to teach canning and pre- serving methods to those who do not know © them. We have a department of agricul- - ture at Queen's Park and another at Ottawa "that might be expected to take the lead in "ssomething of this kind. During the past "ten days, suggestions regarding some plan "for saving fruit and vegetables have ap- »"peared in the press. A writer to the wo- "men's page of The Mail and Empire sug- gested that the department of agriculture might have their Women's Institute lectur- ers take charge of this work, and this is a worthy suggestion, 'It would be a simple matter and would Jinvolve no particular expense for the de- ; of agriculture to take the lead in ng the women's organizations in each community in our province to organize can- n bees for the purpose of providing * wholesome food for the needy this wint®r and also to instruct them how to cook and can many vegetables and fruits. The fol- #lowing short paragraph tells a great deal in ea few words: . © "Lancaster, Pa, Sept4.--A community canning bee is planned here to provide food ior needy families during the winter. Farmers will donate surplus crops and produce and vegetables. Can- ning will be done in church kitchens." or Stewart of Toronto has offered to collect fruit and vegetables for the needy. 'A similar movement has been started in Essex County and, a few days ago, farmers in Elgin County arranged to ship surplus fruit and vegetables to the needy people in Western Canada. The time for action is now, today, not weeks hence when much fruit and vege- tables will be rotting on the ground. This - work might be undertaken by women's or- "ganizations, such as the various church so- 'cieties, the Red Cross Society and other bodies. A great deal of produce can be ob- tained for almost nothing at the present time and there are véry many men and women in every community who would gladly contribute toward the purchase of sugar, glass jars and fuel, in order to make provision, out of the summet's abundance, for the winter's need. Congratulations Miss Shirley Fowke and Mr. Bennett Smith, two students of the Oshawa Col- legiate and Vocational Institute, are to be congratulated on the fame which they have brought to themselves and to their school by their academic achievements. In win- ning the First Edward Blake scholarship in French and German, the James Harris scholarship in French and Latin, Miss Fowke has shown herself to be a student of unusual attainments and ability, for these awards mean" leadership over the whole province of Ontario. The same can be said of the achievements of Bennett Smith in winning the Edward Blake schol- arship in the science group. Achievements of this kind are too often allowed to slip past unnoticed save by those who are directly concerned. Yet they are worth while, more so than achievements in athletics and sports, for which success- ful contestants are given civic receptions and civic gifts. The city of Oshawa can be proud of the school which has produced students of this calibre, and in congratulat- ing Miss Fowke and Mr. Bennett, we feel that a large share of the praise must also go to Principal O'Neill and his staff at the Oshawa Collegiate and Vocational Institute for the thoroughness of the academic train- ing they have given to these two students. - Editorial Notes Bootlegging would be unprofitable if the average citizen didn't find it easier to find a bootlegger than the police do.--San Diego Union.

Buildings to come under this category could well include schools, civic buildings, etc. Unless this is done such centres as are having government buildings erected in their midst with a view to aiding unemployment are getting the "windfalls." Officials of the Ontario Conference of International Labor Representatives presented a lengthy memorandum to Premier Henry drawing his attention to the advisability of including building construction on the relier plans. Such action would provide a diversity of industry giving work to various tradesmen now unemployed. In addition, contributary trades would benefit by the material required for con- struction work. " BITS OF HUMOR A soldier was on sentry duty for the first time in his life, A dark form approached. Soldier (in threatening voice)--Halt! Who are you? Officer--The orderly officer, Soldier--Advance! The orderly officer advanced, but before he had proceeded a half a dozen yards, the sentry again cried: "Halt." Officer--This the second time you have halted me, hat are you going to do next? Soldier--My orders are to call 'Halt' three times and then shoot, NOT INCLUDED The bus stopped and a crowd of holiday makers scrambled to enter. "Will the gentlemen please move up a little to allow more room?" asked the bus driver, as politely as possible. "No, I won't," growled the snappy individual. The driver shrugged his shoulders. "All right, you needn't," he said. the gentlemen." BITS OF VERSE THE MISER HEART Why do I think to bring again the past Into the present's unrepented hour? I would not have life otherwise--the sour Is turned to sweetness--yet my heart holds fast To ancient, loyalties. Here, in the vast Bazaar of time, we have to pick and choose, And, gainin Yet I woul "I only asked one thing, must another lose. hold all loveliness to the last; My heart is miserly of happiness, And so a little shadow goes with me Along the sunny years. Gladly I say, "The best is mine," and yet a vague distress Is with me evermore that there should be No resurrection of dead yesterday. i ' ~Nancy Pollok, in The Glasgow Terald. Eve Care and Eye Strain by C. H. Tuck, Opt, D, (Copyright, 1938) a YOUR CHILD AND THE EYES Part 34 ; When we speak of reflex disor- ders we enter upon a field where chronic complaints have previous- ly been dwelt upon by the patient until hope has been given up. Yet I have met with that case where after twenty or thirty years of stomach trouble that had been con- sidered chronic, a correction of a muscle trouble of the eyes afforded relief. Any chronic departure from health should suggest an enquiry into this as one of the possible causes. Remember, if it is possible, have your vision corrected to normal. Normal vision means seeing with comfort, If, however, you cannot be made normal, it is possible to use that correction that will help you to save what vision you may and at the same time give a greater relief than was at first expected. In some of these cases a percent- age of relief is sufficient comfort to give a renewed courage with a renewed confidence in oneself and nature will again assert herself for the general good. (To be Continued) That the best way to make tlie home city better is for every cit. izen to buy merchandise at the right place. The right place fis from the stores of the home city. No city can have prosperity if the people and the business men do not patronize each 'other. Merchants should never buy in other cities what they can buy at home. They have no mora right to do that than any other citizen. In order to build a city, citi- 7ens must patronize each other, keeping business at home where it belongs. When this is done money will circulate more free- ly. There will be more work, more improvements and a better and happier city. = GIVES $5,000 T0 HOME TOWN Once a Liability, Heiress to Fortune Made Un- usual Gift West Stockbridge, Mass., Sep- tember 10.---Miss Nellie Gray was seventy-two years old, crip- pled, and living on the town when shesinherited a brother's fortune of $70,000. Miss Gray gave $5,000 to West Stockbridge toward the construction of a bridge across the Willlams River, restored the old Gray homestead and has decided that her personal wants will not exceed the pur. chase of a few new dresses. "I am too old now to do much with the money," Miss Gray con- fessed rather sadly. "If I could Lave had it when I was young I could have done a lot of things. But when you get as old as I am, there is nothing to do, even if you have money." Her greatest joy at present is the knowledge that the town of West Stockbridge has accepted fier unusual gift, the first of its kind in the country. "I am so happy they took the money," eaid Miss Gray, who was consid- corably surprised to learn that news of her gift to the town had made her a celebrity in this sec- tion over night.

For seventy-two years, since she was ten months old, Miss Gray has been a helpless invalid. Despite her affliction, she is a very cheerful person with a ready smile, Since her sister died twenty-five years ago, leaving Miss Gray the last survivor of one of the first Irish families to settle down here, she has been de- pendent on the town for aid until her younger brother was killed in a railroad accident two years ago. He left an estate of $70,000 of which Miss Gray came into possession a month or so ago. Miss Gray was amused at the jdea of photographers and report- ers coming to see her, "My, my, she exclaimed with a laugh, "everybody is coming to see me now.

T0 EXTEND STEEL TRADE IN CANADA Montreal To Be Headquar- Steel Export Association 'ters in Canada of British Montreal, Sept. 9--Further efforts to extend in Canada the market for heavy steel beams and _ structural sections and plates over sixty inches not rolled in this country, are be- ing made by British Steel Jixport Association. Julian I. Piggott, man- ager of this great selling organiza- tion, has recently returned to Montreal after an absence of near- ly two months in Great Britain, and announced that a permanent sales executive for Canada had been ap- pointed, Montreal will be the headquarters in Canada of the British Steel Ex- port Association. Mr. Piggott ex- pects too remain here until the middle of October, when Edward N. Martin, his new representative in the. Dominion, is due back from Great Britain. Mr. Martin, he ex- plained, is a Canadian and graduate in engineering of McGill Univer- sity, class of 1905, where he served for a year as demonstrator in the Department of Metallurgy. FOUND GUILTY OF OBSTRUCTING POLICE OFFICERS Mrs. Mary Karch Fined Ten Dollars and Costs in- Police Court Mrs. Mary Karch, wife of Michael Karch, 4 Wilson Road South was found guilty in police court yesterday of obstructing officers in the course of their duty and was fined $10 and costs or ten days in jail. The accused who was repre- sented by John Harris, local bar- rister, was alleged to tried to stop several officers who had paid a visit to her husband's residence to search for liquor. The officers who took part in the raid stated that although they were in plain- clothes, Provincial Officer Car showed Karch their warrant and told him why they had called. The officers in their testimony sald that when they entered the house, Mrs. Karch was in the hall with a bottle of liquor and went into a closet where Provincial Officer Carr and P.C. McCam- mond tried to take it from her. Constable Foreman stood in the door of the closet and prevented Karch from going to the aid of his wife. It was also stated that the officers had some trouble in getting the permit held in the home. Much contradictory evidence given for the accused was heard by His Worship, who in passing judgment leened toward that giv- en by the officers. Michael Karch, the husband, who appeared on a charge of be- ing intoxicated was sentenced to pay $50 and costs or spend a month in jail. It was his second offense against the act,, ADVISES USE OF FLAIL In a recent memorandum with respect to the preparation of seed for exhibition purposes L. H, New- man, Dominion Cerealist, gave the following advice regarding threshing: "The method of threshing the exhibition grain is a matter of importance. A very good plan is to flail the sheaves by hand on a canvas, spread out on the ground near the stooks or stack, on a bright sunny day. Only a very few stokes of the flail should be given each sheaf as the large, well developed kernels will roll out first. The kernels remaining in the sheaf may be threshed out later in the ordinary way." PASTURES ARE IMPORTANT Studies in the cost of milk production carried out at the Experimental Farm of the Do- minion Department of Agricul. ture at Nappan, N.S.,, show that the cost of producing milk dur- ing the summer months, June to October, dropped from the seven year average of $1.26 per cwt. to 52 cents per cwt. this year, This striking reduction is attrib- uted to low feed costs and in- creased volume of milk produced, Particularly important in sum- mer feeding to maintain a maxi- mum milk production is good pasturage. This can be best ob- tained through the proper use of fertilizers and the exercise of care in grazing, keeping in mind at all times the maintaining of 2 heavy growth of fine grasses and clover, SEAL KILLER HAS MANY RECORD Veteran Ice Captain of 80 Years Died Without an Enemy St. John's Nfld, Sept. 11.--"Bill Bartlett is too good ever to have charge of « crew of sealers; he should be up with the angels," was the tribute paid many years ago by Captain Field to the late William Bartlett, the greatest scaler of all time and perhaps the most color- ful personality in Newfoundland history. After attending school in his na- tive town of Brigus, the veteran skipper completed his schooling at the high school in Harbor Grace. Soon after leaving his siudies he shipped with his father on the S, S. Panther, and from this date on- ward his life has been filled with many intensely interesting and ex- citing adventures, In 1896 Captain William took command of the Iccland and until the year 1929 the famous sealing skipper captained the finest vessels of the Newfoundland fleet. For sixty- two years without a break he prosecuted the seal fishery, and during these years he landed more than 500,000 seals. The history of seal fishing in Newfoundland is merely a history of the Barlettts. Away back, over one hundred years ago, when only open boats were engaged in the 1 historic town. prosecution of the industry, Cap- tain "Billy" Bartlett, grandfather of the deceased, left Brigus in an open boat of about forty tons, and steer- ed for Baccalieu. Finding no ice there he said to his crew "Follow on," and they did as commanded till they reached the Spotted Is- lands on Labrador, where they found plenty of seals, loaded their ship, and returned to Brigus to re- ceive one of the greatest welcomes ever extended to any person in that The Bartletts have been "following on" ever since. Cap- tain Bob adhered to the motto un- til he piloted Peary to the North Pole, while the distinguished mem- ber of this family, who has just been called by death, kept the motto in mind as he "followed on" to bring fame and fortune to his honored name in one of the most hazardous callings in modern life. This doyen of the sealing masters has left at his death an honored name, as one of the most successful seal killers and planters, and as the strongest, most earnest, and patriot- ic personality in Newfoundland, Public life held little attraction to this grand old man, and in his hours of leisure at home with his family he found more attraction than pub- licity can ever reveal. His very presence commanded respect, he was not haughty and over-bearing, but on the contrary a man of casy approach, Greatest of all, this veteran ice Saptain, who had the singular honor of" never having lost a man in his sixty-two years of sealing experi- ence, died without a single enemy. | The country doctor stopped to | vatch a performing dog in the | street, and said to its owner: "How do you train it?
