Maurer Telephonu: Bell U: Jt•lduce, Ill WHITBY, THURSDAY, MAY 10, 1934: IF Every /J4y. Waa Mother•a Day Next Sunday is Mother's Day, when the floodgates of sentiment will be opened and flowers, candies and gifts will be showed upon Mothers everywhere by their child- ren, while the· memory of mothers whom we "have loved and lost awhile"' will be \onored. Would to God that every day was Moth- p.r's day-that true homage was paid to lhe mothers who at·e daily making great ;acrifices for their children. If it was then there would be no necessity for the an- nual trek to the flower, candy and gift shops for one day only; ii; would be a con- tinuance performance. Would to .God that the place of mother in the homes of Whitby and Qlsewhere was fully recognized and appreciated for 365 days of the year. · If every day was mother's day sons and daughters would· be more devoted. There \vouid be fewer mothers drawing old age pensions and confined to Houses of Refuge. There would be fewer mothers looking in vain fo1· letters from their sons and daugh- ters and fewer hearts broken over the way. wardness and neglect of men· and women :who should know better. . No friends, we are not knocking Moth- er's Day. The sentiment and spirit of it are ·beautiful Observe it next Sunday. but do please, resolve that from now on every day will be :Moth~l ~y. . Whitby'a Financial Condition Excellent Chairman McKeown, of the Ontario Railway and Municipal Board, last week commended the Town of Whitby on its good financial .standing, and for the man- net· in which its annual budgets of xeceipts and expenditures arc prepared. This commendation, coming from a man like Mr. 1\fcKeown, should prove very en- couraging to the taxpayers and lead them to appreciate more and more the efforts of the Cow1cil on their behalf. Last week it was pointed out in these ·columns that the Town o( Whitby had never once in all its long history failed to meet its liabilities. True, it has had to seek the accommodation of the bank on many occasions, but its record for living UJ) to its obligations is an open book to the purchasers of debentures and the holders of town bonds. _ . The Council, however, cannot 1·est on its oars because ·this commendation has been received. It must exercise to the limit all its powers to collect taX arrears. The town · owes the bank a. lot of money that must be paid, the sooner the better. It cannot be content to build its future financial structure entire!y on the foundations of the past. It must keep abreast of the times and labor long and well for the best inter- ests of the taxpayers. But there must be one hundred per cent. co-operation between the Council and taxpayers if the desired 1·esult is to be obtained. In a few days, now, the first instalment of 1934 taxes will be due. Upon the promptness and co-operation of the ta."'- . payers depends the town's ability in the future, as in the past, to keep in the good graces of its bankers and place the town on a -sound and solid financial footing. We feel that the taxpeyeq are alive to the aituatkln and ·wiD nepcmd as liberally aDd nOOJ,; u tbq are abli. · . . Pablic Service Worthy of Recognition The recommendation made by the an- -nual meeting of the South Ontario Liberal- Conservative Association, that Dr. · T. · E. Kaiserr former member of . ~Jiament at Oitawa for the riding. of Ontario, be ap- pointed to fiU one of the vacancies in the Senate of · Canada, shpuld receive the c<m- mendation of all his fellow-citizens of Whitby and district, irrespective of ·their political beliefs. Dr, Kaiser has been more than an outstanding· ·citizen of Oshawa and of South Ontario. · He has, in many respects, been a provincial and national ·figure. His services to the state through l1is chosen profel!sion of medicine .have been great. His work as a. member of par- liament marked him as one who took . his duties seriously, and brought mature and well-reasoned . judgment to bear on all problems which he had to consider. As a. member of the. Provincial Board of Health for fourteen years Dr. Kaiser was instru- mental in bringing about many health measures. His work in connection with the . enactment of legislation making compul- sory the cleaning up and pre.servation of old cemeteries wherein lie buried pioneers . of this country was outstanding, and for i't he ~-m long be r~embered. Then ~oo, THE WHITBY GAZE'ITE :AND CHRONICLE. TIIURSDA Y, MAY lO. ·1934 : Dr. Kaiser's initiativ~ in ~e erection ~f . HYDRO BJ[ jw IS the Thornton memonal C8ll'Il last . fall lS . . J1 worthy of note. This cairn honors the mem- ' ory of the late Dr. Thornton, pioneer min- ister, educationist and public spirited citizen. Dr. Kaiser is therefore known for his · public services far beyond the confines of Oshawa, and his appointment as a senator would meet with widespread approval throughout the whole of Central Ontario. And as there is at present no senator rep- resenting that section of the province, it would be a most gracious and commend- able gesture on the part of the govern- ment to make the appointment which lias been asked for by the Conservative party of the ridiDg. Every Town Haa Theae People Sun, Swift Current, Sask.-When you hear a man running down his home town or city or business or industry in it, or his home newspaper, take a good look at him. Ten to one he will have a chin as long as a 1-ail, an eye as restless as a horse thief; ~nd be will hitch around in his chair as though he had a touch of St. Anthony's dance. Talk with him awhile and you will discover that he has made a failure of everything he has ever tried (except being disagreeable), and nine times out of ten be is dependent on the public for favors or support: you will find him of a meddle- some, peevish, jealous nature: a man who is always complaining, and although he has but little, if anything of his own, one would imagine to hear him talk that he had a quit claim deed to the · earth and a first mortgage on heaven. He knows every. body's business and why shouldn't he? He has none of his own to take up his time. Such people, like mosquitoes, were not created in vain, perhaps, but one fact re- mains staple they do not add materially to the pleuure of conducting legitimate buaineas. Buaine .. Activity Still Expands Throughout Canada, business activity continues to expand; March, 1933, con- stituted the low point in the depression and since that month recovery has been rapid, consisteut and impressive according to the Royal Bank monthly letter. In the i>ast three months ca1·loadings were almost twenty-five per cent larger than in the COlTesponding months of 1933, steel pro- duction has trebled, automobile production 1 rose from 13,288 units to 29,655 uilits, and newsprint made a gain of 42 per cent over th~ volu~e produced jn the first quarter of 193~. The power industry has expanded operations to. meet revived industrial de- · mand, and the volume of energy generated has established new records appreciably above the peaks attained in 1929. Gold mining is more prosperous than ever be- fore. The output ·of base metals bids fair to establish new records. In both the Maritime Provinces and British Columbia there is active demand for more lumbet· than has been ordered in many years. A remarkable advance has taken place in se- curity prices. The advance registe1-ed in the prices of indliatrial bonds has been sufficient to warrant the hope . that the time is not far off when it should be pos- sible to float new securities to finance the reguirements of industry, and the advance in the price of government . bonds has been of such magnitud~ as to pennit refinanc- ing at au appreciab.le savinir in interest charges. While the favourable items mentioned include many of those activities in which the gains have been quite pronounced, there are but few types of industry where the improvement has not been of consider- able . proportions.

"For the farmer," the letter goes on, "there has been a. substantial advance in price.s during the past year, but farm prices are by no means at a parity with those for manufactured goods. Wheat production is a large element in tile econ- omy of Canada, and in spite of a 30 per cent increase i11 the price of wheat since March, 1933, the price is low and the out- look is unfavourable. World wheat confer- ences have failed to solve the problem. · There would seem to be no satisfactory solution except continued increase in world purchasing power and a reduction in world tariffs which would permit increased con· surnption. The restoration of internation- al firiancial confidence and goodwill, which would bring about an ·increase in the vol- ume of foreign trade, might lead . to the necessary reduction in tariffs." It would seem," says the Bank, .. that either an out- come of this kind or a general failure in · the wheat crop are the only folternativea •. If world tt-ade were on a normal basis, the present surplus should not prove burden- some. World p1'0duction is not greatly in excess of normal consumption, but with restricted marketa it would seem that there Ia little basis for the hope that the present surplus will be. absorbed in the near :future:•• PASSED BY EAST WHITBY toUNGIL Aaka That Contract Tenn Be Reduced From Twen- ty to Five Years _,.. salary $75.; S.
