This e states that for the rest of this year word" "depression" shall not be used at club meeting. Any member guilty of king this rule shall forthwith be fined e sum of fifty cents. . This is a commendable rule to impose. ere has been too much talk of depression these months.* In some instances, the Ik has exceeded the actuality. Now that e corner has apparently been turned, this rd, if it is used at all, should be used ly in connection with the past tense. The wanis Club plan, however, is much bet- Let us do away with talk of depres- . Let us, rather. work for the future perity that seems to be coming closer ery day, and let our conversation be of more hopeful and optimistic nature, 3 A Railway Dispute » A considerable amount of concern is ing expressed over the possibility of a rious wages dispute between the two Banadian railways and their employees. he men have refused to accept wage re- getions amounting to ten per cent, and he C.N.R. and C.P.R. taking advantage of the industrial disputes legislation, have plied for a conciliation board to arbitrate B the matter. The railways have already med their representative, and the matter fow awaits the appointment of a repre- mtative of the employees. ; It is not our intention to discuss the erits or demerits of the dispute over the mn per cent reduction in wages. Even in 8 conmection, however, there are some ient faets 'which should not be over- joked. In the first place, the railways have ffered severe losses in their earnings. 3 pondly, the cost of living has been re- \ duced appreciably in the last year os two. In the third place, wage reductions have been 'quite usual all through various lines of industry. That may have been the basis on which the railways askeq the men to accept the ten per cent cut. + It is to be hoped, however, that the dis- pute will be settled amicably by the board of conciliation. At the present time, when conditions are just beginning to show a 'definite upward trend, it would be un- fortunate if a major dispute arose on the railways, and a strike resulted. Canadian railways have been remarkably free from labor troubles of this type in recent years, and 'it would be a pity to mar so good a record. Let us hope that wiser counsels will prevail, and that whatever differences may exist between the railways and the men may be settled in an amicable fashion. . The Passing of Lloyd George "4 David Lloyd George, former wartime prime minister of Great Britain, and leader of the Liberal party during its declining years, is passing from a place of leadership | the stage of British politics, He has timated that he will not accept any office in the Liberal party, which has, as a re- sult of the formation of the National Gov- ernment, largely deserted him. Behind him in the house of commons are only three supporters, a mere remnant of what was 1 fo powerful political party in the Bri- Isles. e passing of Lloyd George from a of politica! leadership removes from ish political life, in a large way, one of ost spectacular figures. Lloyd George given almost a lifetime of service to his try as a politizal leader and statesman. has been the central figure in some of ountries most bitter political fights. he years before the war, as chancellor exchequer, he was the leader in the of the house of commons with the of Lords, which resulted in the power upper chamber being greatly re- as during the war, however, that he hed his greatest heights, and in that nit period, he became the nation's hero his dynamic leadership and his genius for organizing the forces of the country for victory. oh Ne Following the war, the rise of the Labor party detracted from Liberal strength. Tote dissension arose within its ranks. Many prominent members deserted its inks, and joined forces with the Conserva- or the Laborites, and soon he found is short, and he passes from the stage in a cloud of public disapproval, as expressed at the polls in the recent general election, in which the word "finis" was written to the history of the old party of which he was once the proud leader. Editorial Notes Oshawa harbor is going to be a busy place for the next month. May it start off in the same way next spring, and keep up its activity throughout the whole season. Buy a Vetcraft Poppy, and help the dis- abled veterans who made them. Premier Bennett has issued a statement calling attention to the fact that Remem- brance Day is a national holiday. Yet there still seems to be considerable doubt as to whether it will be generally observed as such. "People will not mind paying 'more for wheat products if the higher prices speed up the wheels of industry and enable them to earn wages. It begins to look as if the Russian five- year plan has gone all wrong so far as agriculture is concerned. Oshawa Ukrainians played a leading part in the demonstration of loyalty to the king and the Empire. These people have in them all the essentials for making good British subjects. Australia wants Canadian automobiles, said one of the visitors to the Rotary Club on Monday. He came to just the right place to deliver that message. The pessimists are strangely quiet these days. Rays of sunshine have dispelled the prophets of gloom. A local merchant was heard to declare 'that last Saturday was the best Saturday he had had in his store for six months, just another indication that things are im- proving. Grain prices continue to increase. And as they increase the position of the Canadian grain growers improves. A year or so ago Soviet Russia was wrecking the world's wheat markets by dumping millions of bushels of wheat. This year, apparently, she has none to export. Has their five-year plan in agriculture gone "wrong? Other Editor's Comments EMPIRE PROTECTION (New York Sun) Premier Bennett's move for re-convocation of the British Imperial Economic Conference which, after a fruitless session in London in November, adjourned to meet in Ottawa, and was subsequently left in a state of suspended animation because of bewildering commercial industrial conditions, is a natural sequel of the election in Great Britain, At the election on Tuesday the advocates of protection for Great Britain won a victory which places the supporters of the protective system in complete control, and if the conference reassembled it would tackle the problem without being obliged to proceed under the principal handicap of its former session. This would greatly facilitate its task. DEMOCRACY AT ITS BEST (New York Times) Democracy is not intelligent. It is wrong-headed. It is congenitally incapable of understanding, even in the crudest way, economic and financial questions. It is gulled by phrases, bulldozed by bosses, So the superior souls who love to bait it have told us again and again. The British elections teach us something different, if we need to be taught. That the Conservatives and the bulk of the Liberals should join in a movement for economy, national unity and stability is intelligible enough. But who could have expected that Labour itself should revolt against the policies of most of its leaders? This comprehension . of the actual situation and issues, this broad patrio~ tic spirit careless of partizanship, is the most cheer- ing and significant evidence of the essential sound- ness of British democracy, | 817s oF HUMOR THE REASON Smith--"I say, old man, I've heard you're about to take a six months' holiday abroad.

Sackville, The Apple is King Ontario, Northumberland and Durham County Apple Growers had wonderful crops, and are hopeful of profit- able markets to bring them handsome cash returns. ARTICLE NO. 2 In yesterday's article, we men- tioned the service being rendered by A. Fulton, the Ontario govern- ment representative in Great Britain, to the apple growers of the province, It was surprising to find, in our travels, how often his name came up as a man doing a splendid job for those he repre- sents, The growers look to his weekly letters on apple conditions overseas with keen interest. In. deed, most of those who are ship- pers on a large scale use these letters as a basis for their market- ing and shipping operations, It is interesting, in view of this, and in view of the large crop of ap- ples grown in Northumberland, Durham and Ontario counties, to look over one of these letters-- that for last week, and culls from it a few of his comments on the situation. Reputation Estavlished One noticeable paragraph calls attention to the fact that Ontario apples have established a reputa- tion for themselves overseas, It says: A "The grading of Ontario apples this season has.been excellent, and has heen highly commented on by the buyers. The Norfolk and Big "0" brands are becoming well-known for their uniform quality, and are standing the de- pressed market conditions favor- ably, as they are still command- ing from $4.47 to $5.53 for good quality fruit, according to varie- ty, as compared with other marks which are receiving less than $4.25. This is a splendid oppor- tunity to build up a reputation for our Ontario brands, and to be- come well-established for another season. It is only a matter of short time when buyers will be freely asking for these marks, which is bound to result in prem- fum prices, It is my experience that buyers are all willing to pay a few shillings more for a de- pendable article. I would urge that every packing house in On- tario keeps up the good work and growing reputation in spite of preserft prices, as it will be to their advantage ultimately." The possibilities of the future market for apples are also dealt with in this letter, which contains the following paragraph, Forward Buying "During the last two weeks there has been some activity in forward buying for Ontario ap. 'ples, This has been principally on account of the reputation that we are developing, I have already confirmed two good sales of Ben Strain 'oy C. H, Tuck, Opt.

In | the home, in the office, in the fac- tory, in the auto, at the movies, at rk or at play---always application, artificial light, movement everywhere, specd, glare, flicker--always eyes to tension, None but the most pericct eyes can stand up against so much punishment-and how few eyes are perfect. Even the perfect are not so, for long. The 'fact that more glasses are worn now than ever before does not signify that eves are growing worse or weaker. It means that science has found a way to correct defects and strengthen human vision, If there is an Optometrist near vou consult him about your eves--about your child's eves. Many troubles of mature life are due to neglect of certain matters considered trivial in carly childhood. Don't neglect the eyes.

Persistent advertisers show an honest desire to serve everyone well The printed page is the proper place for the seller to seek the buyer. Nothing offers such big oppor- tunity to please trade and build big volume businéss as does the right kind of advertising. Advertising through the print- ed page is the progressive, con- yehienj way to sell goods or ser- vice. Truthful advertising proves it- self in accomplishments, Some business concerns have mistaken ideas about the kind of udvertising that is best, while others hesitate because they don't believe in any kind of advertis- ing.

No one can foresee, at the present moment, what sterling is likely to do in the future1t is true it has been hold- ing fairly steady around $4.25, but it is very doubtful if it will stabilize at a higher figure. In any event, I am firmly of the opin- fon that as growers and shippers we have enough to contend with without speculating in finance, Therefore, any forward sales that I am able to secure should be carefully considered by the pack- ers before turning them down. Remember, we are not working under normal conditions." Demand For GreeninKs Other items of advice given in this letter are to the effect that a demand {is springing up for Greenings, some having been sold at $5.98 a barrel for No. 1 qual- ity, with domestics running from $4.03 to $4.47, Another note urges shippers of Ben Davis ap- ples not to be over anxious to sell. "It is my opinion," says Fulton "that we will be able to get rid of these apples after Christmas un- der more favorable selling condi- tions. J] would strongly recommend storing the balance of the Ben Davis that are not already sold. One can readily understand how this fund of marketing infor- mation from Great Britain is ap- preciated by the growers, M. J. Elliott's Views For Instance, we had a talk with M. J. Elliott, mayor of Bow= manville, and a large grower of apples, on this very point. He at once mentioned the fact that, act. ing on Mr, Fulton's advice, he was storing his Ben Davis apples Mr. Elliott was out in the orchard when we located him, just finish.

The Davis and approximately 120 cars of Baldwins, It is my contention exchange rate, he said, had made quite a difference to the return to the grower, but there is a good market for "good stuff that fis well colored." An Excellent Crop Mr. Elliott reiterated the gen- eral view that the crop had been an excellent one. In his large or- chards, he grows many varieties of apples, Spies, Golden Russets, Baldwins, Greenings, Ontario and Ben Davis being the predominat- ing varieties. He had sold a quan- tity of his apples for $2.00 a bar- rel right in the orchard, and was satisfied that the returns from the crop, taking them all over, would be excellent, [COULTER PLANT HIVE OF INDUSTRY { (Continued from page 1) { follow in the future. We | tained results, after training 'green' | workers, which has proved beyond ofir 'most 'sanguine expectations," {said Mr. Griffin. | ng to Machinery New machinéry is being installed {in the factory just as fast as pos- I sible and as this installation is | completed' still further employees | will be added to the pay-roll = al- though, as Mr. Griffin pointed out, i the plant is not "asking for appli- cants. for jobs just at the present 1time. We get our help through the usual channels and it is no use i people besieging us for work." Mr. Griffin stated that the plant, in addition to manufacturing auto- ! mobile parts, is now engaged very largely in producing radio parts and | plumbing supplies, and also in | cadmium, chromium, and copper | plating. The chromium plating car- | ried on at the plant is, undoubtedly, one of the most successful depart- ments and is, at the present time, considerably larger, having a great- er output, than the parent plant in Toronto. Ideal Factory The factory building is one of the most modern in the city, conditions under which the employees work being practically ideal this heing proved by the fact that since the Being mayor of Bowmanville, Mr. Elliott was naturally interest- ed in the employment aspect of the situation, and commented on the fact that a large amount of employment had been provided by the harvesting of the apple erop. One shipper and packer, he gaid, had had 75 men working for him in the district, many of them being unemployed men from the town. (Another article on the apple sit- uation will appear in The Times tomorrow.) We have ob- | fi company commenced operations- there has only been one case for consideration by the Workmen's Compensation Doard, that of a man who had his fingers splashed 'with a corrosive acid. 1 Trying Period Over Speaking of the future, so far as this industry is concerned Mr, Grif~ n is most optimistic. "Newspap- pers and public men tell us that the industrial and business depres- sion is over. It is all very well to talk, and lots of people talk about things that they ia little ahout, but in this instance I do not think we are kidding ourselves, i "So far as this particular indus- | try is concerned 1 am convinced that the trying period through which we have ull passed is over and good business is actually in sight--has, in fact, actually com- menced," said Mr. Griffin who is evidently proud of the plant, proud of the plant's product and proud of the employees. PREFER STANDARD BALES Canadian farmers are doing 8 lot of damage to their export hay market by the persistent practice of putting up hay in too large bales, according to a prom- inent hay buyer in Massachusetts who has written about the mat- fer to officials of the Federal Seed Branch at Ottawa, Bales chould weight an average of 120 pounds, he states, whereas the Canadian baled hay at present averages around 150 pounds, Not only is the lighter bale in great. er demand, but it is lese likely to be damaged.--"I have had & lot of trouble with heavy pressed hay" he states.
