STRIKES AND GENERAL DISTURBANCES ROM all parts of the world come rumblings of Fzrest industrial conflicts. Labor is being agitated by leaders to fight for more money. Pictures of great dividends and wealth by a few is being presented to those who find it hard to make ends meet. Disorder is quickly created and cities are tied up and people forced to suffer. Women and children are called upon to bear all the privations at home while the men clash with the authorities. Such is the state of affairs in many of the large industrial centres. This has been most expensive and destructive in the past years. Arbitration has been planned by the governments to settle such disputes. This, it would seem, is in the best interest of all concerned. When men will sit down around the table and discuss the matter with full eonfidence in each other, then action will follow that will be beneficial to all. When leaders are permitted to agitate and lead their force, either capital or labor, for their own personal and selfish gains, there can be no harmony. A greater bond of true brotherhood must be exhibited by all before true harmony can be secured. In this city and county every effort should be bent to secure perfect confidence between all industrial forces, ‘both labour and capital. ORE and more the people of Canada are coming M to realize that they have in the history of their Dominion, a heritage to be proud of. They are being convinced that Canada, while still an inseparable unit in the British Empire, has reached maturity with a history of its own, a will of its own and a destiny of its own. In view of this, most of us will endorse Senator P. Graham‘s address to the Association of Canadian Clubs, in which he said that every student in Canada should be versed in Canadian history and examined on it and that one of the qualifications for office in a Canadian club should be the ability to talk on Canadian history once a month. There is no doubt that there is a deficient knowledge of Canadian history on the part of our people. Senator Graham recalls a graduate fresh from the University whose training, gince leaving elementary school, had included no Canâ€" adian history. We cannot foster true patriotism or mational pride under these circumstances. Yet one of the elements in a nation‘s greatness is the love for and pride in one‘s own country. A greater knowledge of Canada given to children by means of vibrant and interestingly told text books, which will continue through elementary and on to furâ€" thering schools, would soon rear a generation of the right sort of patriots, Also missionary work among newcomers to the Dominion and education of the genâ€" eral public by magazine and newspaper articles, and by the work of social and patriotic organizations would have. frditful results. Whatever their ability, such men can no more give %o their community or to the nation a standard of wervice which is higher than that of their own perâ€" #omal character, than can the leopard change his spots, whd the public should increasingly bear in mind that :m-um’-nnq-immmeo ® in great or small degree, is intrusted the conâ€" duct of the public affairs of our country. N THIS year, 1934, we are privileged to commemâ€" Ionte the one hundredth anniversary of the foundâ€" ing of the city of Toronto, and the four hundredth anniversary of the landing of Jacques Cartier on Canada, and the sixtyâ€"seventh year of Confederation, &nd it is with pride that we recall the great contribuâ€" tions in service and sacrifice that have been made by our people and by those leaders to whom in successive generations, has been entrusted the welfare of our It is indeed fitting that we should pay tribute to the Rheroes and outstanding citizens of the past, but we should be remiss in our duty if we failed to recognize that we are the trustees of the great heritage which is ours through their tribulation and sacrifice. On reviewing the course of our natural history, one is deeply impressed with two things; first, that in public life there are found, unfortunately, men whose ®nly motive in inspiring to office is that of personal ,n-"uunm, and who have no higher conception duty to the people than to pursue a poli¢y of selfâ€" seeking; a continuous scheming for the furthering of Times and Guide History, like charity, should begin at home THE TIME FOR PUBLIC TO THINK rb-ohntnod.onqhâ€"â€"hnmipul than it is to Parliamentary candidates: indeed, OUR CANADIAN HERITAGE Ratesâ€"$2.00 per in advance to any address in lnrnuh-mnml)-lu States. .

WILSON, Manager. ELVA V. PHILLIPS, Editor supperted and encouraged in their highâ€"minded efforts to render public service. In the second place, one is impressed with the indifâ€" ference, apathy, and lack of appreciation shown by the public generally towards those who in public life do mnot spare themselves or their resources in seeking to give service at the cost of much sacrifice in time, health and money. There is perhaps no greater policy than that which condemns all public service and public officials as inâ€" herently corrupt. It is the prevention of such corrupâ€" tion by the removal or nonâ€"support of the selfâ€"seeking opportunist, which is desirable, but we must, by so doing, recognize and reward merit where we find it. It is not enough to eulogize the accomplishments of great and honorable men in public life long after they have died; let us appreciate the service now of those who are worthy of praise and commendation. There is no better way in which we can do this than by establishing a higher standard of values in public serâ€" vice, true appreciation of the need of legal and ethical righteousness in the hearts of public servants and citizens alike, and a determination to prevent the further operation and domination of the type of inâ€" dividual who, measures his every act by what gain it can bring to himself rather than by what service it can bestow on the whole community. In this season of anniversaries let us rise up and set our house in order so that when opportunity presents itself we may purge our institutions of any unworthy menace which may have raised its head in our midst, that we may go forward to greater progress and the creation of a high standard in public life, It was not for economic advantage, declared Mr. Ferguson, that Canada had fought in the Great War â€"it was in defence of the greatest ideals that civilizaâ€" tion had ever known. "I am sure I speak for every part of the Empire when I say that it is our earnest desire to move, economically or commercially, in whatâ€" ever direction will best serve the interests of the whole Empire and not only of our own particular district or Dominion. We realise that difficulties (with which we are faced) cannot be solved in a few months or a year or two, but with patience, tolerance and good will from every portion of the Empire we in the centre of the great Imperial leadership will be able to make a conâ€" tribution that will enable us to meet the challenge of the world toâ€"day. There is a real challenge. One has only to look round the world to see the tendency of the grouping of economic interests and we have a common people with common interests and ideals under one Crown, to which they owe fealty and loyalty, and one great Imperial organization. It is the most natural thing in the world that we should seek, by concession here and sacrifice (if you will) there, to reach an arrangement that will bring us closer together and enable our people to develop their own special section of the Empire to the advantage of the whole, and thereby to raise the Empire to the proud position of world leadership that has been of so great a benefit to mankind." (Cheers.) DDRESSING a great company of distinguished A guests at Canada Houge, London, on the occasion of the annual Dominion Day reception and dinner, Hon. Howard Ferguson, Canadian High Commissioner, is reported in part as follows: (Toronto Telegram) N orders from Hon. Peter Heenan, settlers‘ roadwork O gangs in the north have been closed down "for at least a month." The euphonious official explanaâ€" tion is that the men have been released to return to harvest work on their farms. The fact is that the memâ€" bers of these gangs, estimated to number twenty thousand, have been added to the 9,500 road workers who have already been thrown out of work. While Attorneyâ€"General Roebuck orates about the "rights of the poor man" he and his colleagues have been plying the axe on men who received $2 a day and gave value for their hire. The "saving" thus effected is at the expense of the thousands who will be forced on relief, and of the municipalities which will have to provide the velief. Much has been said of Mr. Hepburn‘s loyalty to his campaign pledges. He gave a pledge to an Ottawa audience that he would overcome unemployment by inâ€" stituting a vigorous road program. This is the way he keeps his pledges to the unfortunate. The announcement comes well from Hon. Peter Heeâ€" nan, who, during his four years as Minister of Labor in the King Government, cost the country $92,892.50, and who, although there was not enough work to go around among locomotive engineers, insisted from time to time on plying his trade as engineer while he was in receipt of a $4,000 parliamentary indemnity. . Mr. Heenan was the foremost denunciator during the campaign of the "slave" camps. From one corner of the province to the other Liberal orators echoed his attacks on the boarding camps operated by the Ontario Government. But a month after the elections the Hepâ€" burn Government has given no indication of having any policy in regard to these "slave" camps. There has been no change in their operation because no change was necessary. The attacks which were made upon them were merely part of the campaign of villification to which the "brilliant young leader" and his followers lent themselves. Good morning, Mr. Civil "fired you?" ° Ontario had a gross agricultural revenue of $264,762,â€" 000 in 1933, which was nearly twice that of Quebec, the province with the second highest revenue; nearly three times that of Alberta, in third place, and more than $16,000,000 greater than the combined revenue of Sasâ€" katchewan, Manitoba, British Columbia and the Mariâ€" time Provinces. Canada‘s gross agricultural wealth for 1983 is estimated at $5,230,994,000 by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. That‘s a farming stake of $523 for every man, woman and child in the Dominion and most of it is in productive soil and live stockâ€"not in brick and stone and mortar. The Legionary, official organ of the Canadian Legion, issuwed a special Canadian Corps Reunion number the present month. It is an appeal to what is left of the Canadian Corps to meet again at Toronto on August 4, 5 and 6 for the grand fimnale of Toronto Centennial celeâ€" bration. The issue, which consists of 60 well written, well printed pages, brings again to the attention of the veterâ€" ans the experiences of the days in France. The generous advertising shown in its pages is additional evidence of the continued good will of Canadians towards the organiâ€" zation that seeks to keep alive the fellowship developed during the war.

Has Hepburn ; 10 Years Ago P An account of $620,325 for road construction ~pe|§ormul outside . the city in 1922 and 1923 by the York County Roads Commission, is still outstanding against the city of Toâ€" ronto. When,gnii is paid the city will have contributed §893,137 to County roads under the Biggs Highways Act, under which the City is obliged to pay 20 per cent. of the cost of provincial suburban roads, THE TIMES & GUIDE Considerable diggatisfaction is voicâ€" ed from time to time in Mount Denâ€" nis at the conditions of the roads in many sections of the district, and esâ€" pecial!{ is this noticeable in the newâ€" er and more recently settled streets. Another question over which there is _much controversy is that of transâ€" portation to and from the city. August 16th will be Mackenzie King Day for the Liberals of Toronto and York County. A monster demonâ€" ‘stration is to be held by the North York Liberal Association in honor of their member, the Rt. Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King, Prime Minister of Canada, at Markham Fair Grounds. Mount Dennis Fire Brigade does splendid work in a fire resulting from a lamp explosion at Black Creek. As a result of complaints of John Smith, Grant Avenue, Albert Fields, 22 years old, of Grant Avenue, is locked up by Constable Nicholls of the York Township Police. Smith is alleged to have received a slash from a hay scythe in the hands of Fields. At corner of Hollis Avenue and Weston Road, Jack Woods, Oâ€"yearâ€"old son of Mr. and Mrs. Woods, Hollis Avenue, was knocked down by a car driven by Mr, Molloy, of Toronto, and sustains a fractured skull, and interâ€" nal injuries.

The flies, it is hoped, will save the chief product of this British colonyâ€"the sugar crop. In six special packages the flies have travelled 500 miles down the River Amazon to Para by fast motor launch, and then 1,000 miles by air mail. They have been brought to fight the moth borer, a pest which at present destroys about 20 per cent. of the sugar crop by â€" burrowing through the sweet cone. They are "Amazon flies," and their existenceâ€" and partiality for moth borersâ€"was discovered after two years of research by Dr. J. G. Myers, of the Imperial Institute of Entomology.
