United States "TORONTO OFFICE oho Oe © Tresidder, representative. "MONDAY, OCTOBER 19th, 1981 A Measure of Relief © 1t does look as if Oshawa's unemployed 'are to be given some measure of relief in fhe nou future. Fhe deision of the oy cou ublic utilities commission to § Souci Li Re lh vt of a filtration . with the assistance of the federal d provincial governments, is definite and i concrete evidence that work is going to be ; ded for at least a number of those who ave been on the unemployed lists. This of course, is only one of the projects to which official sanction has been given, but it ig the most substantial individual project deslt with in a definite way so far. It is es- § timated that it will give employment to be- tween 75 and 120 men for a period of sever- al weeks, and with this work divided into shifts of varying lengths, it will provide a ! means of livelihood for many more than ' number of families. i This project, of course, will take less than | ane fourth of the allowance which has been i © made by the government for relief works, E-& rr spending of the balance of the ,000 should put a few hundred men to work. Just what public works will be un- : to absorb this amount of money is not yet clear, but the city council has a very definite program laid down, and it will . nest with that body to decide which will be ¥ 'undertaken first, : : This is not the only hopeful sign for the * 'pelief of the city's unemployment problem. The removal of 120 single unemployed men from the city to northern Ontario pro- "vides some relief from that situation. The prospect of the General Motors of Canada, Limited, employing a larger staff of men . | in the near future is also believed to be . bright. Harbor work will soon have reach- "ad a stage at which more laborers will be required, and that big undertaking will pro- vide employment for another quota. All these signs point to an improved situ- ation in Oshawa. It will not be possible, gnd no one should expect it, that work can he provided, regularly, six days a week, for gvery unemployed man. That is out of the question, so far as municipal effort is con- ; , But there is now a definite assur- gnce that as many as possible will be em- ployed, and that the work available will be spread out sp as to give the greatest good . to the gregtest number. Sidetracking Resolutions , The president of the Oshawa Chamber of badd si seems to have a legitimate complaint against the executive of the On- io Associated Boards of Trade and Shambers of Commerce. That body held its annual convention in Windsor last week, d as a preliminary to thig convention, the Qshawa Chamber passed some resolutions, one of them recommending the appoint- t of a provincial commission to assist new industries in locating in the province Ontario. Mr, Mason, the president of local body, went to Windsor to support * this resolution before the convention, but when he'saw the program, he found the re- lution reported as withdrawn, although ther he nor his local colleagues had had y inkling that it was withdrawn, or why. seemed as if the executive body had tak- en it on its own shoulders to withdraw it and outstanding way. The finest point about this gathering was the unanimity of the expressions of appreciation of the ser- vice which Sheriff Paxton has rendered to amateur sport, particularly in the field of hockey, and those who know him best rea- lize the most how well-deserved were the many tributes paid to him. The Times cannot refrain from complimenting Sheriff Paxton on the remarkable degree to which he has earned the affection, respect and ad- miration of his fellow-sportsmen through- out the Dominion, nor from expressing, with them, the wish that he may long be spared to enjoy that confidence. Edison Passes The grand old man of science, Thomas A. Edison has passed away. After a long, but losing fight with the weaknesses of old age, he died on Sunday, and the world loses one of its greatest inventors, A few days ago, we referrred to his illness, and expres- sed regret that so full and so useful a life was drawing to a close, Edison is gone, but his name will live down through the centuries as that of one of the greatest benefactors of the human race. His inven- tions will perpetuate his name, and the means he has taken to keep alive the work of research in the realms of practical sci- ence which he established will ensure that, even although he has gone, there will still be those who will be laboring to fill 'his place, and to carry on in the future the many valuable theories and ideas which he has left behind him for further adventure into unknown planes of scientific endeavor. Thus it is fitting to say that Edison has gone, but his work still lives, and will con- tinue to live until there are no new fields for science to conquer, y Editorial Notes Oshawa has now received the shield won in a fire prevention contest. Long may it remain here. Large United States coal interests are interesting themselves in making Oshawa a centre for coal distribution. This is good business for the city, but it is to be hoped that the coal distributed can be paid for in Canadian dollars at par, Oshawa's first quota of 120 men has gone north, It is to be hoped that another quota of at least a similar number will be provided in the very near future. A great gathering of young people from all over Central Ontario will meet here at the end of this week. It is gratifying to find that the young people, in spite of criti- cisms of their manners, are still willing to devote their time to consideration of the serious problems of life. | Other Editor's Comments MR. BENNETT AND THE FINANCE "MINISTRY (Sherbrooke Tribune) No one will contest the great capacity for work of Mr, Bennett, But it is a fact that he will put fo trust in anyone but himself, and considers his colleagues as rather doubtful assistance. In cer- tain cases he is right, but not always. In any case, what prevents him from remedying the situation? What prevents him from choosing a more compet- ent personnel? In the extremely difficult crisis through which we are now passing, Mr. Bennett is wrong, very wrong, to temporize and add to his already tremendous task one which usually falls to a finance minister, for the economy he practises hereby is completely negligible in comparison with the grave inconveniences which the country suffers it; consequence. -- I as | BITS OF HU. rT ; Sal Boy (to father)--The world is round, isn't a ; it, Father--It is.

The process, which Is able tp either the loop velvet surface of the familiar Axminster and Wilton, was ib- vented by a Mr. Whytock of Ed- inburgh in 1832, and the orlgi- nal firm is still ope of the most important in the industry. The designing, upon which the whole principle of the process is based, may be chiefly explained as follows:- The designer sketch- es out his ides with charcos: op scuared paper, then when satis- fled with the outlive he paints it in, and fills in the color scheme to his liking. Each small square must be of 'one color. When the pattern has been completed the longitudinal lines on the paper represent the warp of the carpet. The designing sheet is cut wp fn- to two or more sections and these are pasted on wooden boards ready for the printer's use. We can nowy follow the process from start to finish, Preparing the Yarn After thé ydrn has beén pro- cured it is thoroughly scoured to rid It of grease and any other iatent impurity; it is then packed into an extractor which, by means of centrifugal motion, throws out most of the moisture. A machine dries the yavn, which is now ready for windipg on to bob- hinge, The object of this rigorour washing process Is to prepare the crn for taking on the delicate li:des of color which are later prioted on it, Tit the ordinary make of carpet tuch as Brussels or Axminster the color effects are achieved by the immersion Bf threads of yarn 'n a dyebath, and the design is procured by the Jacquard loom, vhile In the manufactire of the tapestry carpet the color effects are produced by impressing color on the yarn----not as in the ordi- nary block printing on the woven fabrie, for each Individual thread in the warp of the tapestry car- pet is parti-colored according to the design and shade required. This is done in a most ingeni- ous way. White worsted Is wound from hobbing on to a reyolving cylinder or drum, When this har been done the drum is stop- ped and the yarn is now ready fo: thie application of color. Application of the Colors (On the edge of the drum are metal notches all numbered. Theke numbers correspond to numbers on the left of the de- signer's board opposite each lit- tle square of color. The printer «goks at her board, decides which color she will uke first--say yel- low--then places a box on a lit- tle trolley which runs below the érpm. This box contains a yul- canite disc or pulley and yellow color. The pulley revolves, as ono writer describes it, "some- what after the fashion of a lawn mower" and leaves a yellow streak across the width of the drum. The printer again con- cults her board, sees that No. 17 is also yellow, and accordingly adjusts the drum until the point- er rests at notch 17. Yellow is then put through again and so on until all the yellow squares on ihe board have been accounted for, A box of another color is then substituted, and so thé pro- cess continues until all the colors Lave heen filled ih in their pro- per places. 'When the drum has been strip- ped 'a small numbered disc 8 at- {ached to the yarn to indicate the position it will fill in the finished fabric.
