Without hesitation, they plunged into it, ang the extent to which they have fulfilled their trust was shown in the report. : When one considers that 701 families in Oshawa were assisted by this organiza- 'an tion in the last year, one only sees the of statistical side of the picture. One does - not readily visualize the hundreds of child- ren who were warmly and comfortably ta Clothed. One does not see the mothers and ¢1 babies who have been given comfort and ta pecessities at that trying period of life. t% One does not see the milk and other neces- sities supplied to sick people. One does not 4 'fully realize the hundreds of kindly acts al done in order to bring cheer into desolate and cheerless homes. | The people of Oshawa owe a debt of gratitude to these women workers. That } debt can only be discharged by providing B them with the necessary funds to carry on for another year. In the Welfare Fund v campaign of next week, the Women's Wel- t¢ fare League will be appealing to those who ¢an contribute to provide the means where- they can carry on still further efforts behalf of needy and distressed families. the manner in which that appeal is met depend upon the extent to which the gue continues to function. Surely, pealizing all that has been done, the citizens of Oshawa will rise to the occasion, and provide sll the funds required for so great = task. Remembrance Day and Peace Ea wi me vl eld ev wi €1 Id ie ol c L a n o b A n N J ta of of The keynote of the Remembrance Day services which have been held throughout Canada this week has been the strong desire for permanent peace. = All over Canada, men who have held high places in the military life of the country, and i: in the Great War, have been == "gxpressing their views that, as men who w war, they are wedded to the cause of peace. This hope finds its echo in the hearts of the masses of the people. They have learned of the tragedy of war, and of its aftermath which visits its penalties upon the coming generations. Those men and women who have lived through one great war, have no desire to have their sons and "daughters undergo the same bitter exper- ~ fences. So the cry for peace has gone out all over the country, and it is a cry prompted only by the realization of the utter futility - of warfare. ) It is true that the world is in a better ition to maintain peace than ever before. League of Nations has done wonderful things in the settlement of disputes which, "twenty years ago, would have provided an immediate cause for warfare. The Kellogg Anti-war pact, the Locarno treaties, have all done their part in keeping nations from flying at each other's throats. ~ Good as these things are, however, they are not sufficient. There has, as yet, been real cleansing of the heart of the world. ars are caused by the lust for power, by lousies, suspicions and hatreds which . no place in the perfect schemes of srotherhood of man. Let us see a world cle of these things, clghnsed because _individuals. men and women have come slose enough to each other to observe the Iden. rule in the individual, national and pom I-15 5 k 1 ] nal as we will then have dd in which the word "war" will have to hold any terror.

This year, more than ever, it may be said that no citizen has done enough for his fellows until he has given and given to the point where he must deny himself something he really wants.

Firstly, the boys at the Farm and Training School will find that their tige abroad is greatly in- ey will be repaid for this self- sacrifice in the years to come, since this action of theirs will not be forgotten lightly ; and-secondly, the sheer necessity of every man, woman and child rallying round to help the less fortunate in this winter of depression.

The season of the year is now approach- ing when we will have long dark nights, and when men will be driving along the roads in horse-drawn 'vehicles. Those per- sons should not neglect the precaution of having lights for not only their own protec- tion but also for the protection of motorists. On a dark night it is impossible to see a horse and buggy, if there is no light on the vehicle, until the motorist is within a few vards of it, and when it is impossible to avoid a collision. The law requires all vehicles to carry lights and if a person ne- glects this duty he is subject to a fine, Other Editor's Comments "WEALTH LYING IDLE" (Clifford Sharp in Everyman) British resources, as measured by the actual roductive capacity of the country, are enormous. e are potentially as wealthy as we need wish to be. It is absurd to say that we have been living "beyond our means." We have not been living even up to our means. What we have been living beyond is our capacity to pay for imported goods in gold bullion. e possess, in fact, an enormous surplus of unused productive power (ie, wealth) represented by idle factories and idle men. It is merely the machinery of exchange that has gone wrong and. that is 'very largely the fault of the bankers. Except in terms of gold, we are as sol- vent and as rich as we have ever been and if gold could be abolished tomorrow we should be very well-to-do indeed. We might be able even to in- crease the dole!--if that were good policy, which I certainly do not suggest. DISPENSING WITH ELECTIONS : (St. Thomas Times-Journal) Dispensing" with civic elections this year in order to save money is advocated by the Chatham News. We have heard this argument before! have even advocated it, and seen it tried out. But our ex- perience is that if there is any sort of a demand for an election it is better to fight it out at the polls and pay the cost ungrudgingly. Elections by pre-arranged acclamations so often result in dissatisfaction on the part of the citizens, BITS OF HUMOR Jones: "I asked her to marry me at Whitsun= tide." Robinson; "What did she say?" Jones: "She said she would if she had not another engagement!" In an historical drama an aged king was blessed with two sons. He was pacing up and down the stage, with a wearied, troubled Bok. exclaiming aloud, "On which of these my sons shall I bestow my crown?" when there came a voice from the gals lery, "Why not 'arf-a~crown apiece, guv'nor?" A lady's voice was heard from the steps of a crowded Westmount car, saying, "Oh, get in. dear, some one will give us a seat!" The next moment two ladies entered. The men in the car were on their mettle. They read papers sternly. Those who had no papers closed their eyes and pretended to slumber, ¢ ladies glared down the car in vain. For half a mile the car went orl. Then a man alight- ed. "There's a seat Yor one," said the conductor, "Don't take it, dear!" said one of the ladies. "Some man will want it!" "So your lad is studying to be a chemist?"

ANDERSON, PREMIER OF SASKATCHE- WAN, SAYS: That few elements e€ontribute more to human happiness and well being than "Loyalty." In" its personal application it is the epitome of the doctrine af the Nazarene, and in its general accep tance it is the buckler and bulwark of nations. There is no virtue more splendid, and few more universally esteemed, Without it there can be no true patriotism, nor can there be personal fidelity, It may be mis- taken in its attachments, but the spirit of its very mistakes may have virtug. Its practice builds nations and cements the whole fabric of human relationship, Its application to ideals adds a spiritual leaven to life and justifies faith in humanity. It is admirable alike in the family and in the council chamber of the nation. It elevates the humble, and nothing so becomes those in the scats of the mighty, It was his recognition of this in- herent British quality which led Napoleon to exclaim: "Had my peo ple been British, I could have lost Waterloo and still been Emperor." Loyalty safeguards the state and develops the country. It surmounts difficulties and generates the patrio- tic faith that 'moves mountains." It achieves more than the most skillful materialism. It wil) suffer anything and come from the ordeal refined like a tempered sword blade. It is beyond price. Skill and brains may be purchased and held for sale, but never true loyalty. It was loyalty that builded the British Empire--loyalty to high traditions of honour, justice and integrity, worked into the woof gnd warp of this stubborn island race for a thousand years. Never were true loyalties so much needed as now, Many of the peo- ples of the world are passing through conditions which are c¢aus- ing widespread distress and suffer- ing. It is by loyalty that we shall come to our own again---patient un- swerving loyalty to our friends, to our country, and to our obligations, in respect to people and nations, who, although sometimes alien to our blood and race, occupy their own place in the great scheme of common humanity, BRAKE CONTROL OF CAR Never use more pressure on the brake pedal than is necessary to stop the car, Unnecessary pres sure not only puts an undue strain on the car and its tires, but the driver behind may not be able to stop so soon. When con- fronted with an .emergéncy, keep the clutch engaged, and apply the service brake cautiously so that the wheels do not lock or slide. a ------ a ---- 4 "Well, Mrs. Murphy, how are yez to-day?"

F. A. Dallyn, * | consulting sisinten was instruet- ed to confer with the contractors who had submitted the lowest tenders. Cut Down on Equipment Pollowing the instructions of Dallyn, by eliminating a large number of prrts, cut the equipment tender from an original figure of $89, 000 to $60,885. 'The number of filtration beds was cut from eight to four, an automatic chlorinat- ing equipment was cut out and many other minor items were left off. The cost of the over- head tank was reduced from $11,000 to $8,260 by reduction of size. Commission rejected a reduction in the size of the build- ing at a saving of $16,000 in case of future enlargement. "The whole plant will now cost £126,870," reported Engineer Dallyn. "It will be complete and with a capacity for a 50,000 pop- ulation on your present rate of water consumption. I could not cut out anything else without im- pairing the efficiency of the plant in # manner which we would re- gret in the future. It will need ro changes in our lifetime." The high cost still made the commission hesitate when they realized that in addition to con- tract prices the engineering fees and cost of removal of a house on the site of the plant would run the total cost to over $135,000. Only after failure to see anything else except dropping of the plant to be built later, without cny assistance at a possibly higher figure, did the commis sion finally accept the tenders, "If this work were not going to provide a considerable amount of work for local unemployed, I don't believe that I would sup- port it," declared Mayor Ernle Marks, "Even after we recelva the $42,600 from the federal govern- ment, the financing of the re- mainder will cost 000," remarked Commissioner Bob Preston. "Can we sell that many bonds?"

Pointing out that he had been | estimating on an unplanned job ! of | when he suggested a cost above $90,000 to the commission for the plant, Engineer F. A. Dallyn expressed his regret that tho cost had run above that figure but declared it was unavoidable in securing an efficient plant, He stated that because of the mis- take, his engineering commission would be figured on a cost of £100,000. Engineering fees were sot at six per cent, at a previous meeting. For this the firm not only planned the plant, supervis- ed the tenders, but will place a resident engineer in charge of the work and guarantee success- ful operation of the plant.
