Some of the merchants in the 'business "section of Oshawa are complaining bitterly regarding the blatant and discordant © sounds which come from radio loud speak- ers set up so as to broadcast on the streets. . One of them has complained to the police on the matter, but has been informed that © there is no bylaw which makes this an of- FHI ROI IN SIE eR TER Cr Ye TEA $ 4 o-- CRAB EE RE REN i i te places. = fence--except as it is an offence to the cars of the listeners, and to their good taste. In recent years, many communities have passed drastic bylaws to curb noises on the streets. It is interesting to note that. in many cases, such bylaws have been prompt- ed by the municipal health departments, on the ground that excessive noise is injurious to health. That may be a matter of opin- ion, but nevertheless it is a fact that un- necessary noises do place an unusual strain on the nervous system, that delicate piece of human mechanism that is so easily put out of order. Oshawa may not, as yet, have seen the necessity for anti-noise bylaws, but the . conditions complained of have become 50 | flagrant that it might be worth while for the authorities to consider making some | yestriction on the amount of noise which ' will be permitted before it is considered a public nuisance. Potatoes for Relief There is much to commend the sugges- tion of the Ontario Marketing Board that towns and cities which contemplate having to provide a large amount of direct relief in the form of foodstuffs during the coming winter buy in a stock of potatoes now, at the very low prices, and store them for win- ter distribution to needy families. There is a double advantage in this idea. In the first place, the municipality would save money by buying potatoes while prices are at a ridiculously low level, and secondly, the producers would have a market for the splendid crops which they have raised this ~ year, This would provide the farmers with ready cash, they would be enabled to buy supplies they require, and the money would be put into circulation to keep the wheels of industry turning. It might be a good idea for Oshawa to look into this proposal a little more closely, since it affords an op- unity of improving conditions general ly, without the possibility of the city losing money on the deal. Rural-Urban Fellowship On several occasions in these columns the Times has advocated the cultivation of a spirit of fellowship and goodwill between the mi ts of Oshawa and rural dwell- ers as & means of effectively combating to some extent the mail order and department: : al store menace. There is a lot of business to be got from the rich agricultural country around Oshawa, but a great deal of that business is' going to Toronto, and other ? There must be a reason? +The le Business Men's Associ- ation has the right idea, and according to reliable information it is bringing results 1 increased trade in the town, The Associ- ation has staged several functions this sum- mer to bring town and rural dwellers to- sther. Last week the Rotary Club enter- tained the children of Darlington township at the theatre in Bowmanville, afterwards rib ice cream. The Statesman ommenting upon this treat says: "It is the spirit that prompted this act f rural-urban fellowship that is so worthy 2 ntion this action the county chil. dren learn that there is no essential differ- ence between the resident of the town and the resident of the farming country. They ein; ~. learn too, that while the town has to offer th many moder: luxuries of life it has to "subsist on she products of the soil tilled by the parents of the rural school child. They see the necessity of co-operation between the dwellers of country and town, and they 'lose that feeling of distance which has in late years crept between the town and 'country resident. As they grow older they "will realize more readily that the town people are not out to get the farmer's prod- Jota at the lowest possible price, commen- with the work applied and the profit _ that should accrue forhis product. In re- turn the country dweller realizes too that town nearest them is the best place to : their Reeds and the two communi- : welfare are necessity wrapped up ; 'other. The furthering of the rural. ) at an carly age is worth- pl I : " which adds: while and that is why apart from the very great pleasure the children desived from the show at the Royal Theatre on Friday they learned a lesson that will be of use to them in later life." " Farm Produce Prices * "Phere never was a depression like this one before' is a statement frequently heard'," remarks the Alliston Herald, "The fact is that not more than nineteen years ago there was a period of hard times when the prices of commod- ities were down to the levels of to-day. The Herald was told of the sale of a pig on the first day of January, 1912, at.6¢c a pound. At this the vendor made a profitable sale as the prevailing price was 5 1-2 and he de- manded and got six because it was a holi- day and he wanted to get away to a family gathering for dinner, ' The best of animals were selling at 5 cents a pounds and the poorer animals for less. In 1894 wheat was down to forty cents and hogs sold on the market at $3.50 and $4.00 per dressed hog. While it doesn't help the present situation to hark back to former periods of depres- gion it presents figures which show that levels have been much below that prevail- ing to-day.

Editorial Notes Sheriff Paxton is deserving of all the congratulations he is receiving. Forty-four years faithful public service is a record worth recognizing. Hon. W. H. Price is making a plea for unify and for forgetting of party politics. At last he and W. E. N, Sinclair are in agreement. A Toronto despatch recently stated that W. E. N. Sinclair's son had been injured in a hazing at Knox College. It would appear that congratulations, although somewhat belated, are in order. The American Federation of Labor has enunciated a nine-point plan for bringing back prosperity. May they be more suc- cessful than President Wilson's fourteen points. The miners of Premier MacDonald's con- stituency may not be willing to listen to him, but that should mean little to a man whose every utterance is awaited with ex- pectancy by the whole civilized world. Oshawa must raise $30,000 in three days for the welfare fund. And the city has already given evidence that it can do it. L. Other Editor's Comments " ST. LAWRENCE WATERWAY (Ottawa Droit) Our financial situation is not so very flourishing at the present time, Our economic, not to say fin- ancial, dependence on the United States becomes more and more apparent from day to day. Our financial policy has been very short-sighted in the past. We have always gone to New York for our funds. We now have large credits there, All our gold payments must be paid in New York funds, After the suspension of the gold standard by Great Britain our dollar has weakened Other causes as well are very probably affecting our money adver- sely, This situation could not endure. - It will not now be prolonged 'any longer, The agreement passed between the two governments to hasten the negotiations on the St. Lawrence waterway obliges the United States to help us to put our dollar back to par, or nothing can be done, Who knows even it the United States did not impose the waterway as a condition when we showed our desire to solid- ify our financial position, Time will show whether the game is worth the candle. THE BENNETT TARIFF AND THE DOLLAR (Regina Star) As the full effect of the Bennett policies are felt Canada will become freed from the liability to have Ler money discounted at New York. Whereas in the first six months of 1929 Canadians bought $464,- 000,000 worth of good from United States, in the corresponding period of this year Canada has only purchased to the extent of $280,000,000, BITS OF HUMOR Employer: How many men have you got work= ing here?" . Works Manager: "Not more'n one in ten." A Chicago gunman was hired by a certain gang to carry out "removals" of the unwanted at 500 dollars a time. One day he was given a job, which he duly executed before retiring to sleep, In the middle of the night he was awakened by the indig- nant members of the gage, "Hey" they said, "you killed the wrong man and we paid you five huyn- dred dollars!" The gunman yawned. "Wal" he said, "what's it matter after all, The next one will be on me, boys." It is said that a lot of girls go to college because they think it will increase their' chance of getting married, They expect to get husbands "by degrees," "Shall T tell you what you are?" "If you do youswill get a black eye."

Tuck, Ops, 'Y (Copyright, 1938), THE CHILD AND ITS DE- VELOPMENT NUTRITION AND MAL-NUTRITION Part 2 --- Take time to eat, hasty eating is a nervous habit and likely to lead to indigestion. Cheerfulness when eating is a splendid aid to digestion Worry and discouragement at, meal time, show ill effects proving that the mental attitude has very much to do with one's digestion, Overeating puts a strain upon the human body by increasing the elim- ination, and in fact all the organs of digestion are working under strain. Undereating is likewise unwise, it being possible to have insufficient fuel to keep the body going proper- ly, and where hard work is followed the tissues are not replaced as fast as they afe worn ont, Malnutrition in school children holds them back physically and mentally and the effort put forth to overcome this handicap leads to injured health, lowered vitality and eyestrain, and is the foundation of other ills and defects too numerous to mention, (To be Continued) THAT now is the time for everyone to enlist in the service of the home city. New ideas in city-planning are always beneficial to any com- munity. There is plenty them in every city. Better business is the basis for prosperity. When business stops or is ser- fously checked, disaster is in- evitable, No matter how perfect a city fs as a place to live, it can't stay perfect long when sand is put in the wheels of progress. IN ORDER FOR THE WHEELS OF PROGRESS TO MOVE THEY MUST BE OILED WITH GOOD-WILL, FAITH, CONFIDENCE, ENERGY AND A SPIRIT OF COOPERATION. WHEN THIS IS DONE---BUSI. NESS FOLLOWS, of room for DECIDE TO BUILD FILTRATION PLANT (Continued from page 1) to the general taxes, the scheme being financed out of revenue in the. Water Works Department, and also stressing the necessity for such a plant, It was also pointed out by the Commission that it would not be prepared to go ahead with the plant under any other conditions. Council Divided Following the withdrawal of the members of the Commiseion it was very apparent that the council was divided on the mat- ter of what was best to be done, Itt was generally conceded that both plants, that to take care of the filtration of the water and that for the disposal of sewage, could not be undertaken at once and completed within the time limit for relief work, before March 31, 1932, with the money at the disposal of the city. A long drawn out discussion resulted, in which many sugges- ttons were made by individual pldermen, and many opinions ex- pressed, the suggestion finally adopted being put forward by Ald. 8. Jackson, that the sewers to serve the disposal plant could we!l be constructed "as a start anyway." The Chairman of the meeting, Ald. Hawkes, expressed the opin- fon that the approval of this sug- gestion would "definitely com- mit council to the construction of the whole disposal plant, al- though no immediate action might he taken on its final com- pletion." The resolution for approval, of the plans of the Utilities Com- mission was sponsored by Alder- men Kirby and MacDonald, and carried on the understanding that it would not entirely shelve any plang for the disposal plant, while the resolution in connec- tion with the construction of sewers for the disposal plant pro- vihed the authority of the Pro- vincial Board of Health can be obtained; was sponsored by Ald- ormen 8. Jackson and Hyman, "In carrying this last motion we have certainly bound ourselves to the disposal plant proposition" war the final remark of the chairman, although the concen- sus of opinion appeared to he that the Provincial authorities would be lenient as regards the time Nmit for the completion of the scheme, Refuse Challenge Smiths Falls--Galt Terriers, O.

It is stated, for example, that even Gandhi himself had never seen Charlie Chaplin in a movie film and it is thePefore presumed that the great majority of his fellow In-/ dians are in the same box. So, you sce, every sphere of existence has its compensations, » LJ] Those who took part in the pro- duetion of the College Flapper de- serve commendation for the success of their cfforts but the author of this column believes that those cit- izens who were responsible for the production overlooked one medium of advertising which would most certainly have brought results. The "College Flappers" should have formed up in parade at the Four Corners and 'marched to the Ma- sonic Temple along a route which would have taken them through the busiest sections of the city, Or better still, no person should have been permitted to take part in this feature unless he would give his agsyrance that the costume, and make-up, would be worn for at least twenty-four hours. Just imagine Ald, Louis Hyman, for instance, de- fending a client in the City Police Court while wearing the same cos- tume as that which he wore on the stage of the Masonic Temple; or Fire Captain Hobbs attending a fire dressed as "Bubbles." The day of the bootlegger is gen- erally conceded to have ended, in this city at any rate, except in iso- lated instances and here we have a report from the city's Veterinary Offiecr and Food Inspector which might lead to the belief that these gentlemen were again becoming ac- tive, this time handling milk, Even in the days of the O.T.A. the Town Crier always felt it his duty to keep clear of bootleggers but he does not mind admitting that if he could ob- tain a really good supply of raw milk for his children, milk that had not been subyect to some artificial process which robs it of a large por- tion of its food value, then he would be ready to open up negotiations with a reputable bootlegger, No fires in Oshawa for sixteen days,--a record of which the city and its Fire Department may well feel proud, That. the Fire Depart- ment is idle is something upon which the city may be congratulat- ed, although that seems rather a paradox. - Fire apparatus and ex- perienced, trained men to man such apparatus, is a necessity but the longer the periods of idleness for the Department the better the city will like it. There is no doubt that the advice of the Fire Chief is bear- ing fruit, ' THE TOWN CRIER. SHERIFF PAXTON AGAIN HONORED (Continued from page 1) ly paid tribute to the long associ- aticn of the guest of honor with the game of hockey. It was a significant thing, he said, that sportsmen were gathered from all parts of Canada to do honor to Sherift Paxton, who richly meri- ted this display of admiration and affection. On behalf of the two hockey associations, he pres- ented the Sheriff with the gift of silver plate. plied, and intimated that he did | wil Sheriff Paxton feelingly re- not intend severing his associa tions witth the O.H.A,, but would carry on as long as he was spar- ed in its interests. He expressed the deep gratitude of Mrs, Pax- ton and himself for the wonder- ful gift tendered to them. Presentation to Bobbie Pearce P. J. Mulqueen, president of the Canadian Olympic Committee and president of the Sportsmen's Association, also_paid tribute to Sheriff Paxton, bhit his chief task in conjunction with Francis Nel- son, dean of Canadian sportsmen, was to present a beautiful silver tea service to Bobbie Pearce. In making the presentation, Mr. Mulqueen and Mr, Nelson not on- ly referred to the splendid pro- gress of the world's champion geuller, but also to his charac- teristics as a sportsman and a gentleman. W. A. Fry, of Dunnville, past president of both the O.H.A. and the O.A.H.A,, also spoke his trib- ute to Sherriff Paxton, and on behalf of W, A, Hewitt, P, J.

In short it asks that the Commis- sion find the facts as they are by a complete study of the whole mat- ter from every angle. "This resolution embodied what the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce wa. asking for, and also what secv- eral other resolutions were asking for, while it left out any expressions of opinion which. would have im- plied that the convention favoured any one method of transportation" said Mr. Bell who added his opin- jon that the matter had been hand- led from the chair "very diplomatic- ally and satisfactorily."

Another Resolution As regards the other resolution sponsored by the Oshawa Chamber in connection with action by the Provincial Government regarding regulations for the operation of motor trucks in Ontario and in which the Oshawa Chamber advo- cated careful consideration of every aspect of the matter before steps were taken which wold cripple this new industry, several other cities were; sponsoring resolutions dealing th the same matter but from a different angle, that of protecting the railway companies from com- Jetition, and the delegates sponsor- all these resolutions, including Alex W.

Mr. Mason's Views In commenting on this problem which faces the Dominion, the Pro- vince and the railway companies, Mr, Mason stated it as his opinion | that "the cost of transportation has got to be cut down, and the cost of manufactured articles has got to be cut down to a basis of fair compari- son with the cost of agricultural products.

The retail merchant can order his stuff over the phone, or write, today and it is delivered within the next twenty- four hours, He does not have to carry such a big stock as he used to, and it is largely the truck that has made this possible," said Mr. Mason, who intimated that he felt, on the other hand, that "some maxi- mum distance for truck service "Service . {should be laid down in any regula- | tions, whicl ily put into | force. | it is either | economical or good business for trucks to operate over exceptionally long dis and it is here that the servic e rails s will be ilized", said the President of the of Commerce.

Maple sugar and maple syrup produced in Canada in the spring of 1931 had an estimated value of $3,637,700 of which the for- mer accounted for £530,800 and the latter $2,606,900, There were 5,484,100 pounds of maple sugar produced and 1,314,700 gallons of maple syrup. Of the fotal output of maple sugar for the province of Quebec produced 4,726,600 pounds and 737,000 rallons of maple syrup. Ontario came next with 636,000 pounds of sugar and 572,400 gallons of syrap.
