The warm sun has already caused: snow banks to dwindle, but there is still much snow and ice in the areas drained by the streams which flow into Lake Ontario which must either be absorbed into the ground or flow off down the many watercourses. The time is appropriate for parents to impress upon their children the danger which les in flood-swollen streams. The Oshawa district in the past has had drownings as the result of children playing along the edge of the creek. Running water has a magnetic attraction all its own but it also holds a real danger for the unwary, While reports indicate there is little frost in the ground and much surface water will be absorbed, streams will be swollen to a degree. Keep the children away from them. \d ® Ld Taxi Driver Risks Although Oshawa has so far escaped scot-free, it is almost an everyday occurrence to read in the newspapers of the hold-up and robbery of taxi drivers in almost every city across the nation. It is the business of the taxi man to provide transpok- tation. To do this he must take passengers into his vehicle while he rides alone with no protection but his own. wits and fists. Sitting in the front seat of his vehicle, concen- trating on his driving, he is in no positon to meet an assault which often comes from the rear. Attacks on taxi drivers are difficult to prevent. While it is sometimes difficult to place the person responsible under arrest, this type of crime can be discouraged by imposing the maximum penalty allowed by the law. This type of crime is particularly vicious and there can be no mitigating circymstances. New Era Of Service : This afternoon the local office of the National Employ- ment Service starts a new era in Oshawa with the opening of its new office: in the former Alger Press Building at 22 Albert Street. N.E.S. has done a great deal for residents of the area since its inception early in the war. With newer and better accommodation there is every reason to believe that its service will be improved still further, The facilities this very important branch of the Labor Department have employed since coming to the city have not been of the best. One could not call the old Y.M.C.A. Building commodious nor was it suited to the work the staff was called upon to do. It is, therefore, to the credit of Leonard F. D. Coulson, Manager, and the members of his staff that such an efficient job was done. During the war Oshawa had the largest percentage of its population engaged in war work of any city in the Dominion. Since the war there has been a recession in employment with the result that a large percentage of the heads of families and others were drawing unemployment insurance. On occasion it was necessary to secure the use of the Oshawa Armouries to handle lay-offs in our largest industry. Long line-ups of persons to secure unemployment insurance were also a common sight. The new premises are as centrally located as were the * former, but they have the added convenience of being all on on floor. A much more modern building, the new premises will be much more easily heated and cleaned while facilities for the staff in the carrying out of its duties will be much better. Setting An Example The ice carnival for Public and Separate Schéol pupils, sponsored by the Community Recreation Association of Oshawa and District, at the Oshawa Arena last Friday night was an unqualified success from every point of view. Much credit is due to Recreational Director Bob Coleman, his as- sistants and officials and teachers of the various schools for the manner in which it was carried out. It is such events as this which serve to bring ali sections of the community closer together. It also was the means .of teaching the pupils the essentials of friendly rivalry, and how to win and lose gracefully. The fact that over 2,000 pup.ls attended not to speak of a large number of parents stamps it as a must for next win- ter. When an event of this magnitude can be staged in the winter there is no reason why a tract and field meet cannot be held during the summer months. o Other Editors GALLING IT IS (St. Thomas Times-Journal) It is very annoying for seekers of homes to hear about new hockey arenas, hotels, theatres and other such places opening while they search for lodgings.

But the Scotchman is thick-skinned and he can take a joke, and there- fore the jokes about him grow apace.

Russian Takes Monty's Glass of Water by Mistake | ANI iil i Frac --Moon in Suniay Dispatch e Readers' Views GOING TO THE DOGS Bg Editor, Times-Gazette: Dear Sir:--Oshawa literally is going to the dogs. The city's can- ine population has become a defi- nite threat to the health of the people, Can the civic authorities do something to help a desperate public? It seems most of Oshawa's dogs are not fed by their owners and they have to forage for them- selves in other people's garbage cans. When garbage is put out tot be picked by the city's works de- partment crews the dogs have a field day. Organized in packs, they pounce on the garbage cans and drag refuse on the streets, sidewalks and lawns. On off days, when garbage Is not collected, they raid the back- yards and do thelr bit to make the city look like a garbage dump. I often wonder why these dogs are allowed to run loose without any action by the authorities? Surely something can be done to protect the taxpayers from these irarauding animals? CANE MORTIS.

FLIGHTS OF EVENING GROSBEAKS Editor, Times-Gazette: Dear Sir:--The past month has been notable for the unusual number of Evening Grosbeaks that have made their appearance. Members of the Burroughs Field Naturalists' Club have been in re- ceipt of inquiries about this beau- tiful finch for weeks past, One was reported by an observer who mistook it for an oriole. (Orioles are never found in these parts earlier than the latter half of May). On Saturday, three small boys picked up and brought me a fine specimen of the male Eve- ning Grosbeak. Last Wednesday's "Globe and Mail" carried a picture showing many of these birds at Mrs. Harry McDougall's window, in the Kingsway, Toronto, Some were eating out of the lady's hand. Anne Merrill devoted a column to this bird's appearance in last Sat- urday's "Globe and Mail," and W. V. Crich, F.R.P.S., contributed a photograph of our gorgeous win- ter visitant, For the sake of read- ers who may wish to keep a look- out for this bird, a description follows: Eastern Evening Grosbeak. (Hesperiphona vespertina vesper- tina), Adult male--Forehead yel- low crown black; upper parts ol- ive-brown, becoming dull yellow on rump; belly and scapulars yel- low, wings and tail black; end half of the secondaries and their coverts white. Adult female Brownish gray; otherwise similar to the male. Length, 8 inches. Prior. to 1910, the Evening Grosbeak was only a casual wan- derer to the eastern provinces of Canada; now it is a more or less regular winter visitant in flocks of from six to eight to as many as a hundred birds. They feed largely on the buds and seeds of trees, particularly the box-elder. They are not shy and a meal of sunflower seeds will bring them to a feeding-shelf, Their song is a metallic warble. ARTHUR SLYFIELD, Columbus, Ontario. March 9, 1947, Cache Discovery Historical Find? The Pas, Man., March 10--(CP)-- A 15-foot square cache which may throw new light on early Canadian history has been discovered by I. H. (Windy) Smith in an isolated part of the Northwest Territories. Smith, a trader from Churchill, Man. was seeking a water route between Hudson Bay and Nueltin Lake on the Manitoba-Northwest Territories border. He said he first discovered the cache in 1928 and notified the late Judge Howe, then chairman of the Canadian Histor- ical Board. However, the judge died shortly afterwards, The trader estimated the cache was more than a century old and was the work of some white expe- dition - because of its: detailed con- struction, FORM WOMEN'S BRANCH Edmonton, March 10--(CP)-- Ex-servicowomen here now have their own branch of the Canadian Legion, The Alberta command of the Legion has granted a charter to the women's section of Branch No. 24, which. henceforth will be known as the Edmonton Women's (Alberta) Branch No. 215 of the Canadian Legion, Looking Ahead In Ottawa By The Canadian Press Ottawa, March 10--(CP)--The government is expected to an- nounce shortly its solution to the pressing problem of how Canada can increase her production of bar- ley, one of the most important in- gredients that go into the feeding of livestock. The barley problem has been placed on the government's door- step by hog and other livestock pro- ducers who have said that they cannot produce more pork and oth- er meats if they do not get the feed necessary to fatten their animals up for the killing. There are two courses open to the government--either to pay a bonus on every acre of land seeded to barley in this crop year or to in- crease the present fixed and con- trolled price of the grain. Either of these steps would result in in- creased production. The shortage of this important feed is traced directly to the cur- rent high price of wheat, which makes it more profitable for farm- ers on the Prairies, where the bulk of Canada's animal feed supplies is grown, to produce more wheat than barlgy. Two plans currently are under study by the government. One is to bonus Western farmers to the extent of $5 an acre on all land sown to barley, whether or not a crop is produced, The other is to boost the fixed price of 64% cents a bushel .on barley to make it as profitable as is the growing of wheat. As yet, there is no indication which of these two the gov- plans emment will select but it is thought ! likely a decision will be announced: shortly. Fertilizer: Although two Minis- try of Supply officials now are in Canada on official business from Britain, it is understood that the Ministry will send a special envoy or delegation to propound the views of the British government on the sale to United States interests of a government-owned chemical and explosives plant at Stamford Township, Ont, near Welland. Sold in December, the plant is said to be the only one in the Brit- ish Empire which manufactured the flashless explosive picrite during the war. The British have been reported as being "shocked" at its sale to private interests. Sources in Ottawa said, however, that the sale might eventually help transform Canada's long-standing peacetime dependence on foreign supplies of chemicals. or this rea- son, it was considered of consider- able importance. One of its chief current products is fertilizer. 12 Ottawa Youths Get Short Terms Southampton, March 10--(CP)-- Two Ottawa youths who stowed away 'on the liner Aquitania to reach their English fiancees have been sentenced to four weeks' im- prisonment.
