RC ---- THURSDAY, OCTOBER 1st, 1931 ® Going North Oshawa may consider itself fortunate in being allowed to send 120 of its unemployed single men north to the highway construc- tion camps in the first contingent which is Jeaving within the next few days. So far, only the fringe of this project has been touched, and the fact that Oshawa was ven a quota in the first contingent indi- cates that the powers that be at Queen's 'Park have realized the seriousness of the situation in this city. The selection of the first 120 men from "the ranks of Oshawa's unemployed to go "north is a delicate task, and no matter what © the advisory committee which is making the 'selection does, there will be criticisms. © That is to be expected when 120 names have 2" to be taken from a list of hundreds, but it should be recognized that there must be some selection, and the city council com- mittee can be depended upon to use its best judgment., 'The pilgrimage to the north for work in highway construction camps, is not going to be any joy ride or Cook's tour. It means hard work, under conditions which will try the courage and strength of any man, and only those who are really fit for such work can expect to be given consider- ation. That is why a medical examination is necessary, for it would be fatal to the success of the project to send weaklings or misfits into the north country for work of i this character. The removal of even 120 single unem- ployed men from Oshawa will help the situ- ation to some extent. It means that many less to be housed and fed, and that in its self is a substantial measure of relief, It is to be hoped, however, that there will be other contingents sént north, and that Osh- awa will have further quotas allotted to it, 860 that, when the time comes to start some relief work in the city, most of the single men and transients will already have been provided with employment in the nerthern A eonstruction camps. / ih nts Ty NEP a A. i i L Laxity in Court = In the supreme court at Whitby the + other day, Mr. Justice Raney had occasion \ to offer some criticism as to the manner in ". which a charge of assault had been handled "in the Oshawa police court. In the case in i question, the accused man Volney Trick had %- pleaded guilty to a charge of assaulting his ~ wife, and was sentenced to thirty days in jail. In view of the plea of guilty, no evi- dénce was taken, and it was this point which Justice Raney criticized, his view be- ing that, had the story of the assault been told in police court, a much more severe view would have been taken of the case, and the punishment would have been heav- iér than it was. Later, a charge of attempt- ed murder was laid against Trick on a war- gant sworn out by Mrs. Trick, and it was on this charge that he appeared in Supreme + Court, to be acquitted by the jury, which § was apparently influenced by what had : previously happened in police court. %_ From the remarks of the judge, it would appear that there was considerable laxity in handling this case in police court. It is Bard to understand, fer instance, why the More serious charge was not laid in the first place, ifistead of rushing through the pro- ceedings and accepting a plea of guilty on a mere assault charge, without hearing all ides of the story. One cannot conceive that there was any necessity for haste in s case. Many cases, from week to week, fre adjourned until all the facts are avail- ble, and it would seem, in the light of What has happened since, that it would have J more in the interests of even-handed 'justice to have followed this procedure in this case. Railways and Highway Traffic . Prefs coment on the advisability of the way8 of Canada taking over control ough the board of railway commission- 8, of truck and bus traffic on the high- ays, is ing more insistent, and there a growing body of public opinion in fav- of @ueh & move. This is due, very ely to the fact that most people are vi- nterested in the progress and pros- rity of the railways, and it is felt at the ent that the railways are suffer- eatly ffom the transfer foi both pas: t traffic from the steam - thé highways: Doubtless 'the i the Canadian National Railways 'the Canadian Pacific Railway are well iware of the intoads which have been made their revenue by truck and bus traffic, Fi | and have been giving the matter serious thought, and possibly they will have something to say, when the royal commis- sion on railway problems is in session,--it is appointed--as to what can be done to off- set this loss of revenue. ' The Brockville Recorder and Times very frankly says that the railways "be char- ged with the handling of ail the land-borne traffic of this country, be it by truck, bus or railway." There are precedents to be found for this in Great Britain, where the railways, realizing the seriousness of highway competition, have themselves gone into the business of bus transportation, and have supplemented their railway schedules by linking up thousands of small local sta- tions by bus services. In the old land, the train and bus services work well together, and by the sale of combination tickets, providing for rail journeys to certain large centres, with bus routes to cover the jour- neys to smaller places, they are gaining in traffic and revenue, instead of losing. A wide field of controversy is opened up, of course, by the mere suggestion that all land-borne traffic, by truck, bus or rail, be handled by the railways. Large interests have already been created to provide bus and truck services, and these cannot light- ly be thrust to one side. Yet there is food for much thought in the suggestion of the Brockville paper, and it would not be sur- prising to find that Sir Henry Thornton and E. W. Beatty have been doing a good deal of studying and thinking on this very proposal. Editorial Notes A British flier has flown an aeroplane at 415 miles an hour. One wonders where this speed record business is going to stop. If October provides as kindly weather as September has done, there will be little complaint. Interest in the Oshawa harbor on the part of outside shipping companies is grow- ing. It looks as if they are just waiting for the extensions to be completed to make it one of the busiest ports on the Great Lakes. A study of the despatches from Great Britain regarding the possibility of a gen- eral election leads one to the impression that King George is not so much of a mere figurehead as he is generally supposed to be. It is commonly conceded that men who occupy public positions must expect criti cism, some of it unjust. After reading the explanation of employment office procedure given by Major George Hamilton, he would appear to be, for the moment, placed in that category. Other Editor's Comments GANDHI'S OPPORTUNITY (London News-Chronicle) The very crisis through which the British people arc passing disposes them to a saner and clearer vision of India's difficulties snd aspirations, It is Mr. Gandhi's supreme opportunity to show to the 'world that to his unrivalled gifts of propaganda he allies a real sense of action statesmanship. If he faces up honestly to the difficulties and devotes the whole resources of one of the acutest brains in the world to their solution he will prove himself a pro- phet, priest and politigian of genius, but the firm- est friend India has ever had. BRITAIN AND FOREIGN AFFAIRS (London Daily Telegraph) Apart from League activities, the new Govern- ment intends while it lasts to initiate no fresh de- velopments in foreign policy. It is probably less convihiced than its prédecessor of the advantages to be reaped from unsought British intervention in the disputes and difficulties of other nations; it is detérmned in any case to ful the purpose of its creation and confiné itself so far as may be to the solving of our most urgent national problem, In that resolve it will certainly have the cordial sup- port of the nation as a whole, "BITS OF HUMOR Coutisel (at Bow County Court): Are you mar ried?"

Such expressions as the following are better thought than expressed, "Stop. being foolish. Don't be silly, There's nothing to hurt you." The child may be too young to help you to solve the reason of fear so you must re- fiect and connect what you can gather by observation as a solu- tion of this difficulty. Punishment or sharp mands may only increase the fault rather than diminish or correct it. The remedy is best found in a pleasant manner of turning the mind to other chan- neis and at 'the same time show- ing how absolutely unnecessary it ®. This is influencing the mind in the proper direction. To as- sist this encourage confidence and with education and influence the fear disappears as a proper mental attitude develops.

"Phat so fine an instrument as the radio should be degraded by cheap' and tawdry advertising programs is not fair either to the radio manufacturer or to the puyer.
