This committee has investigated, and has report- ed through The Times, that the charges are without foundation, and that the system followed by the officials of the employment office were in accordance with the accept- ed principles for providing relief employ- ment. This is another example of how easy it is for uninformed persons to get up in meetings and make charges against per- sons who occupy positions of public trust. The ratepayers association adopted the right attitude in appointing an investiga- tion committee before passing any other resolutions on the subject, for the investi- gation has entirely exonerated the officials charged, and has proven that the facts on which the charges were based were incor- rect. So far as the local employment office is concerned, it has a difficult task to perform, It is not an easy matter to sit in that office v day after day and tell streams of unem- . ployed men that there is no work available for them. Nor is it easy for the officials = in that office to select the few who are to . be given work from the thousands of names listed. That is why the system has been : adopted of having recognition given only to those who bear registration cards from the city's relief department. We believe, how- ever, that the great majority of the unem- ployed are satisfied that the unemployment office officials are playing the game fairly and squarely, and are doing the best they _ can under the handicaps under which they are laboring. The report of the investiga- | tion committee will, at least, clear the air so - far as the employment office is concerned, © and should convince the ratepayers involy- , ed that it is not always wise to make | charges unless one is in full possession of . all the facts. 4 An Election in Britain - = + The die is cast. Great Britain is to have y- general election on October 27. The Na- : I: Government, composed of Conserva- > es, Liberals and some Laborites is to ap- 'peal to the electorate for a mandate to car- J ¥y on its task of stabilizing business and 'economic conditions in Great Britain. From this distance, it seems unfortunate { the people of Great Britain should be or pitated into the throes of a general el- i 'ection campaign at this time. Election ' campaigns always bring business uncer- ' tainty in their wake, and the present is no . time for uncertainty in the old land. There iis, too, the added factor that certain sec- * tions of the people are in a disturbed frame : of mind, as is shown by thé prevalence of riots in Glasgow, London and other places, and the recent disaffection in the British navy. The government, however, has pos- 8ibly taken these factors into consideration, and believes that the wisest course is to ~ have the election, in the hope that it will bring back a stronger and more united Na- tional Party to carry on the affairs of the nation. One rather striking fact in the election announcements is that what alinost amounts to a MacDonald dictatorship is be- ing set up. After many days of wrangling and discussion, the British cabinet has been unable to agree on the policies it will pres- ent to the people. As a way out, it has giv- en Premier MacDonald a free hand to write his own election platform, with the assur- ance that it will be accepted and supported. This places in the hands of the British pre- "mier the right to dictate his own policies, and to impose them on the other members of the cabinet, which is, in effect, the same thing as setting him up as a dictator of Great Britain. This is » wety 3 » £44 75 £2343 HE) : a 'k The Vogue of Pessimism . (From the Vancouver Sun) Is your face long and sorrowful--as though you had just attended the funeral of your best friend? If it isn't, you are not following the latest mode. ionable, at the moment to wear a dour ex- pression--and to talk about hard times and the financial depression. It doesn't make any difference whether hard times have really affected your meth- od of living--and, as a matter of fact, on- ly a small percentage of the people are actually living less well than they were before the bubble of a fictitious prosper- ity burst two years ago. If you aren't talking with all your neighbors and asso- ciates about the hard times, you are dis- tinetly out of the fashion. This is the most hopeful condition yet shown, ginning when all the people are talking about the depth of the depression. It is then that the depression has reached its lowest level. It is from that point that progress starts. Now that the air is so filled with these discussions concerning the depression, let us all join in and get the load of talk off our chests and minds. If we don't do we won't be able to find any one to listen to us. Everybody will be busy getting ready for prosperity--for it always returns. Editorial Notes It does seem like going back to the old days of barter when men are paid for their labor in goods instead of in cash. The fire drill in the public schools was a revelation to those who had not previously seen this carried out, The children, at least, are being fully educated to the dangers. of fire and the value of fire prevention. The 1931 welfare fund campaign is now being organized. With the needs so great, the response from those in a position to give should be more generous than ever. The thief who stole the collection of a church anniversary service evidently believ- ed that charity began at home. Ben E. Tate has intimated to the city council that the construction of a coking plant in Oshawa depends on the gas output! and coke market. Here is one instance in which the people of Oshawa can help with the development of the city. ¥ Other Editor's Comments THE KNELL OF FREE TRADE : (Spectator London) Nothing will ever persuade us that to hamper ,trade by taxing it is tlie right way to increase it, or that tariffs on goods can bring increased plenty or cheapness to the population of an overcrowded island. Yet here was Mr. Graham, a Free Trader economist of the Labony Party, admitting that he wavers in his faith. Here was Mr, Churchill, who left his party for the first time to fight brilliantly with us against Mr, Joseph Chamberlain's campaign, and greatly helped to defeat it, Shouting for Pro- tection. Lastly, here was Sir John Simon, with the acutest brains of the Liberal Party, proving to him- self by cold reasoning that, if we have lost the favourable balance of our trade, we shall be driven to tariffs. If so, Ichabod! The glory is departed, for the ark is taken. DANGER IN EUROPE (Rt. Hon. Lord Dickinson in the Nineteenth Cen- tury (London)) It is no exaggeration to say that Europe is at this moment more unscttled, more nervous, and more irritable than she was during the forty years that intervened between the Franco-German War and the outhreak of the Great War. Were it not that no existing Government is so insane as to think of making war now, it might be said that Europe was never more in danger of war. BITS OF HUMOR ALL OF A KIND A group of professional men had gathered in the lobby of the Claypool Hotel, and proceeded to make themselves known to one another. "My Dame is Fortesque," one said, extending his hand. "I'm a painter--work in water colors chiefly." "Indeed," chimed in another, "I'm an artist, too. I work in bronze." "Well, this is fine," a third broke in. tor--I work in stone." Then the quiet little fellow who had been inclined to keep apart stepped up, with a dry smile. "Glad to make the acquaintance: of you gentlemen, for I have a common interest with you, I'm a college professor. I work in ivory." TIME TO STUDY The self-made man was in the midst of his first interview, + "Hog," \ 'quired the reporter, " to read ¥ those formative years?"

Protect them now, it is your duty and they wijl thank you in later life when they reach the stage when they must look out for themselves. Endeavor to eliminate all handicaps and plan for a future accomplishment so that a sound foundation will be laid and an easy grasp of a pro- per vocation in life will be more likely to follow than in the case where no denite plan was follow- ed. This action may also be con- sidered a definite step in the form. ing of character. Eyesight is a great factor in the education and mental develop ment of your child; eyestrain is the great hindrance. How can a child tell you intelligently about its eyes? They never saw through other eyes than its own, The correction is as good as the {m- portant features contributing to it, the most important of which is the examination. The child who sees easily ig the child who learns, the eyes demand the best of care. How much thought have you giv- en them?

Hubbard (Miss Allie Avery, Correspondent) Raglan, Oct, 6.--~The community was shocked to hear of the sudden death of Mrs. Joseph J. Hubbard who passed to rest on Sept. 25th, 1931, in her 70th year. She was a daughter of the late Benjamin and Sushanna Powel of Enfield. The late Mrs, Hubbard was an invalid for the last 6 years but bad a bright intellect to the end, In religion she was a Methodist. The funeral was held from the family residence on Monday afternoon, where a large number of friends and relatives gathered to pay their last tribute of respect. Service was conducted by Rev, Whyte of Enniskillen. Hymns by request were "Rock of Ages," and n- terment made at Hampton Cemetery. The pall bearers were Messrs Arthur, Oliver, Benjamin, George and Cecil Hubbard (sons) and Wes- ley Oake, son-in-law. She leaves to mourn her loss her sorrowing husband, four daughters and five sons. One brother, Mr, B. Powel, of Qshawa, and two sis- ters, Mrs. Trader of Oshawa and Mrs, Hulbert of Bow Island. Mr. J. J.
