Interest in the Election 1f one is to judge from the number of "names placed in nomination for the munici- . pal elections yesterday, there is a keen interest in the composition of the various ¢ public bodies which will govern the affairs of Oshawa in the next year. All of these nominees, of course, will not qualify, but ' there is a sufficient number of them to en- sure that Oshawa will have an opportunity of electing capable men to office. bi Being nominated for office is one thing, | however, and standing as a candidate for o election is another. Out of the hundred or more candidates nominated for the various offices, it should be possible to select men & who would do credit to the bodies which £ will be elected next Monday. It only re- § mains for those nominees who have the qualifications, the time, and the spirit of public service, to realize the responsibility * which they owe to the city, and to respond to the desire that they should be candid- ates. : There are too many men who are nomin- * ated, but who do not take the necessary "steps to have their names appear on the ballot paper. In this critical period in the city's history, Oshawa needs a strong coun~ © ¢il. Such a council can be secured if the . right men will qualify as candidates. It is not enough to accept the honor of nomin- ation and let it go at that. It is vital that "the nomination should be accepted as a "challenge to public service and to public duty, and that those who are best fitted to = Hold office should go to the city clerk and file the necessary declaration of qualifica- tion before nine o'clock tonight, and thus ; give the electors the opportunity of placing 4 'the right men in the right place for 1932, A Worthy Habit . The report of the Penny Bank of Ontario & shows that the children of Oshawa, in spite ofthe hard times, or perhaps, be- i cate of them, have been acquiring the habit of thrift and saving. It is remark- able that in these days, in ten months, the children of the city deposited $9,985 in the penny bank which is operated in the schools "and that, in the last three months, this hag been increased to $11,650. © _ These figures are surprising. Consider- © ing the conditions through which Oshawa has passed in this period, the children, and © their parents, have done well to put aside, for emergencies which might arise, so 'handsome a sum. This result in itself ustifies the establishment of the bank in Oshawa. It has, too, its more commendable aspect in that it is encouraging habits of 't in the children, ig teaching them the of saving money. That is worth. Many families, in the last two years e learned the lesson that it is wise, in of affluence, to provide for the leaner That lesson will not be quickly for- ten, and with the children who are com- up to form for the next generation g schooled in the same principles, there s hope that any future depression not find the people generally so badly as they have been for the one sh is now passing. hip) i] 4 Decency in Magazines voluntary organization in New York js undertaken a campaign to wipe out of nce those magazines and other pub. which, by their obscenity and , cater to the very lowest in human what measure of success will be ned is natical, but the objective a worthy one, and is directed at a great il which has crept into the life of the od States, and which is a constant reat to this country. A Canada is more fortunate than the United g in that the censorship of literature g into this country is fairly rigid. true that many publications still come hich would be better banned, but the dards here are much than oro the » and to many 5 which are to be \ bookstands on the other side of the line and not allowed to enter Canada. That does not, however, minimize the danger of their trickling across- the bor- der, to have a demoralizing effect on the minds of the young people of this country. The only place where a scourge can be properly stamped out is at its source, and the New York group is starting at the right place. One marvels at people of intelligence pandering to the depraved tastes of those who feast on the filth which is turned from some of the United States presses. Yet there are such people, and the only way to cure them is the way which the New York organization is seeking, and that is to deprive them of the opportunity to foist their obscenities on the public. Editorial Notes There are plenty in the field; but how long will they stay? The anti-Gandhi demonstration which was staged when the Mahatma arrived at Bombay is a very strong indication that he does not speak for all of native India. The movement to form a community choir is one which many citizens of Osh- awa would like to see succeed, There will' be at least three new faces in the 1982 city council. We wonder, however, how many there wil] be after next Monday. Other Editor's Comments AN ENCOURAGING EXAMPLE (Translation of Editorial from La Patrie) We stul meet people who look down hearted and who complain that business is at a stanastill, toey seem satisfied to cross their arms and wait tor pros- perity to retwin. aney are tng pessimists, the dis- couraged who will do nothing to help the economic Orgasm ot the couniry and restore nourishing days But we meet others, the number is greater and greater, who accomplish things and work, their face 1s ragiant with an air of content and--it we ask--will state that business 1s decidedly looking better, They are optimists, _ Among the latter the General Motors of Canada Limited 15 outstanding, and what is stil more com- forting to note, is that this great industrial corpora- tion expresses its optimism with acts and declares that its optimism is based on facts. A short dispatch which appeared in yesterday's papers, the signific- ance of which was overlooked by many, announced that for the last month, the General Motors had taken back into its employ thousands of workmen who were for some time past, practically destitute, This was not done only to relieve unemployment, but because of the necessity of increasing its pro- duction. At the moment, the employment situation in the great Oshawa plants is almost normal. . Does the company rely on uncertain and possibly misleading prospects? No. We believe that it is well informed by its agents dispersed throughout the whole Donmunion and who report that in the country ag a whole, confidence is reawakened and with it, a determination to shake off all sentiments of dis- couragement and to start on normal times again, This company is still better informed by its records which show that during this month of December, its sales are nearly three times the total of the month of December 1950. General Motors expects a good year in 1932. This feeling is not inspired by guess work but by certainties, : General Motors--as no doubt many others--has not established itself in such a secure position by lamenting about the economic crisis and in a sense disarming in the face of the real and formidable difficulties confronting industry and commerce dur- ing the last two years, Instead of disheartening it, these difficulties have spurréd it to make greater efforts. We may presume without fear of error that the company's directors did 'mot simply sit back assuming that nothing could be done during this period of universal depression. Everybody has noted that while other industries and business had curtail- ed their usc of the powerful lever "newspaper ad- vertising" General Motors, to the contrary, had in- creased theirs We may also' be sure that it has availed itself of all other means which were apt to help overcoming unfavorable economic conditions. t is impossible to not to be encouraged by this example, 'those who are still wondering if the crisis as reached the bottom, not to mention those who ave no hope of ever seeing prosperous times again, should find in this an inspiration. Pessimism and discouragement are unproductive sentiments, Pros- perity will Be reign in the country by the collec- tive effort of every individual energy in the nation. This phenomenon is actually being accomplished. The last to benefit, providing they are not entirely deprived, will be those who abstain from taking part in the struggle. BITS OF HUMOR A WISE SPIDER While Mark Twain was editor of a Missouri aper, a subscriber wrote to him saying he had ound a spider in his paper and asking Mark whe- ther this was a sign of good or bad luck, The fol- lowing was the reply of the well-known humorist: "Old Subscriber: Finding a spider in your paper was neither good luck nor bad luck for you. The spider was fherely looking over your paper to see which merchant is not advertising, so that he can fe to that store, spin his web across the door, and cad a life of undisturbed peace ever afterwards." HANDICAPPED 3 "You seem to have plenty of intelligence for a man in your position," sneered a barrister, cross- examining a witness. "If T wasn't on oath I'd re- turn the compliment," replied the witness. BITS OF VERSE . A WORD » QO weeping, like a fire, 2 Hath burner vour checks to red, Lit by the sudden flame Of a word I said. Rose-petal o'er a lily, «It lies across your face; 'What branded lines of fire A word can trace! Men 'burned themselves like lamys "Helen's lips but stirred, I Making a sacrifice ¢ altar of her word. And I might weep indeed With all my dreaming set On a lovely English word With tears--like yiolet. « m=John Durkan, in The Glasgow Herald, Eye | Produce Prices on the Care : and | Eye | Strain by C. H. Tuck, Opt. D (Copyright, 4938) THE PRICELESS GIFT Part 3 What of the many who come into this world or perhaps in ear- ly life acquire a condition which will remain as 2 handicap through life. This is then not a case of conserving alone but a case that gives us opportunity to help, to develop, and iu this way we be- stow upon one of the many a hap- piness they could in no other way afford. Any of God's Gifts are treasures we can {ll afford to lose yet many children are neglected because of financial conditions not warrant- ing the expenditure until some later date and oft times for them, that later date never materializes. It we properly appreciate the opportunity the Christmas Season affords we will asist someone who may come to our attention and if we could one and all consider that we were conserving a valued tal- ent to be devioped to a life of greater usefulness our reward may not be an earthly one yet the pleasure we would reap through giving happiness to others is not overlooked. Watch your child doing his school work In the growing dusk, You scold him for abusing his eyes, straining them to read in the half light, Yet all of us do the same thing. We're careless. ¥ou can buy plenty of light you sce plenty of other things of less- or value to buy, but, you can't buy eyes, You or your child may be working under handicaps of defective eyesight and not know it... Be sure, (To be continued) THAT in these days the word] "Capigalist" has become almost a term of abuse, but the fact remains that it is the capitalist or organized industry system which keeps the wheels of progress going. In olden days money was as stag- nant as a marshland pool, as far as industry was concerned. Until the dawn of the 19th century it lay in rusty chests and was handed down from father to son like an old jewel, doing no good except for the satis- faction of its owner and being de- nied its legitimate function of nur- turing and expanding trade. In those davs there was little or no antagonism between employer and employee for the simple reason there were few employees and fewer employers, In these days medical research and hygiene were things hardly known. The country simply had not the mo- ney to support them. Therefore, the death rate was a great deal higher than now. Little children and old people died of mysterious ailments which doctors nowadays can control with great accuracy. The housing conditions were, in comparison with those of our day, deplorable. Growth and expansion of business were almost impossible until the time came that organized business, or corporations, or capital, or whatever you may care to call it, came to deliver us. Organized capi- tal, as it may be called, meant many people puttin their money together to do what one person could not do alone. Since then our population has risen, our national income has increased almost veyond reckoning, Campaigns against digease and human suffer- ing have been encouraged and equipped in a manner undreamt of a century ago, WHILE HOUSING, ROADS, HYGIENE AND GENER- AL LIVING FACILITIES HAVE RISEN TO HEIGHTS OF RE- MARKABLE PERFECTION. Vars--W. A, Rowat, manager of the Royal Bank of Canada at Varg, has received the appoint- ment to the position of manager of the Winchester branch, to sue ceed H, L. Lee, who died recently. Mr, Rowat was formerly in Wes- tern Canada, where he was for 24 years with the same hank as manager of various branches in Manitoba and Saskatchewan. In his transfer to Winchester, he does not go as a stranger, as his father, the late Rev, Andrew Ro- wat, was Presbyterian clergyman there for a number of years. ® WHen In .
