Wily ·Wcra C/uutmcra Fair A6andoned Unless some move Ia made in the next few daya, there wDJ he no Christmas Fair or any other event to stimulat. Christmas business in Whitby. Business men 1811er- ally want to do ali the buail\eaa they can at Clirist.maa, but we submit that it takes extraordinary efforts to ret It these daya. Time was when Whitby had a rood Christm11a Fair, which brought farmerJ~ and the1r families from all-parts of South Ontario to the town to compete for prfug in various events. The women folka for the most part SOUilht prbes for poultry ~nd home cooking, with a little fancy work thrown in, while the horae show and races on Brock Street North attracted the men. Events for lady drivers also attracted much attention. TWo years ago the Fair was abandoned and a system of iuufnr coupons substituted. Every merchant ' knows tli~st it was a dismal failure, and 1t is probably on thla account, and the tact that rain marred the last two Fairs held, tbat no move was made last year to hold a f'&it. Over in Port Petty, however, the Poulf;tt Fair liei<l last year was declared to be the best in years. Frankly, there is much to commend the Chrietnlas Fair, even if it does necessitate ;. little worlt and exp,nse. It sure does br!Dg people to the town. 1\l:en like to see gOOd li~raes and women will come a lon!l way to win a sm&ll ptize for a cali:e, !latch of bread. of cOOli:iel!, o~ a piece of filley work. It is human natun. With Fairs aU around us wily sbllult! we not have one 1 We ))ope that some move will be lllade alon1r thid line in Whitby before it is too )iLte. tlaue Men De•erve Much Credit No ~d of credit Ia due,io tlie men in Whitby who UvQ lilade ~ery effort to fllld 'ritkl and in rnoit instances have Met With atlcdii, tO aujlport themoelvell and th61t tiimllies sillce thelt names were re. moVed. ft61n the relief rolill on the first dt.y oi il&7 of thill ye&t. It is a fact that i!Jiee tllat dat. ptilt\tlcally no ,money b&a ~ )laid ' bt the Town Co !In eli for relief. W6 Ut alltl8fi6d that the men who were llllf to ate11re work eve11 at low wares, (;,Dd tllt.y have been low in some eases), were much 'happier when they got some hard-earned money in their bQhds, than they were when compelled throuwh force of cir;ulllatances to aak the town to assist them. On tho whole, this hu been a very fair a~er ~cl fall for work. Some men se- cured employment on roads, others on building construetion, and other11 on the farms.

EvOI) pe1'missi1;e legislation, there t~o!f.~tz.;~;.;;~~~d;~isposition on the part of to make any sei'ioua assessment where an o-.ner ' on his home and thus !lives . empl6yment to various trades. Un<ler the proposed legislation, a perjod of three .Y,ears is to be allowed be- fore any increase of assessment on such lmprovel1)ent. In Whitby for some years, notwithstand- inst opliiions to the contrary, the assessor hls been careful not to raise assessment& uilduly on impr6ved property. The Cou\l- cii hils always, made it plain that it was not good policy <to penalize a man for builrl- lnt a back yr front verandah, or ,making minor rePIIirs to his property. Under the aaseilsment 4\et, however, the Council has no power to direct the assessor what he shall or shall not do, and even if the Coun- eil does allilgest. to him t~t he go easy on those improving their properties, he is not obliged to pa:y attention to the suggestion. His dutil!l! are 'cle4riy set forth in the Act Under which he operates. Under the . proposed new Legislation, however, the :q,uncil of any municipality WIU h11ve tile,. }lOwer to make any exemp- ~ioqs" u· S~!f !11t)ri cases where property 1mprove111ent~ have been made. We predict that Ierilh!~imF~ 'this liind, linked with the Dominion Hou~ing Act, will do much to stimulate bylldjn~ everywhere, and, of courae, create m11ch I'JIIployment. The Quality of Mercy ' ... .

Had they been a)lowed 'to make the payments within tjle b.oiiJ!d• of what they claimed to be thw meana. the present unrest in Germany might ·· never ha vc ariaen. • The temp~ring of mercy with- justice in the new penal code would leem to reflect the feeling of the German nation in regard to the amount of punisl!m~t a man or a nation should receive from the blinds of his puni•her. A Buaine11 Worth Pottering Some rather remarltable figures, dealing w1th Canada's tourist bui!ness, . are con- tained iu a memorandum issued by the Royal Bank of Canada • . The m-emorandum s~ows that year by year Canada entertains a number of visitors whiCh Ia sometime& twice the number of the entire population. Taking mto consideration that tho tourist business ,. one of camuia'a !arrest sources of income, citizens of the :Oominlon should make an effort to make/ these visitors happy and thus foater 'hetter relations with other conutriea. According to the figures gathered by the Royal Bank, durinw the' first ·•!x months of 1936 the number of visitors from every State in the Unioll (except the Southern States) •xceeded the-n~Jl~lber ·for the corre- sponding period 9~ 1QS5~ ,· ~ the first half of 1985 the total nnmber of cars coming · Into Canada was 1,2S7,0oo; while for the first s1x months of 1'0116 the numbsr was 1,848,000. In the full year of 1935 and the first six months of 1936, the combined total was 4,951,000 ears. When such ffit!res are presented one is prone to wonder where these tourlata come from. Figures show that 26 per cent. come from New York State, 23 per cent. from Michigan, 9 per cent. from Vermont, 6 per cent. from Washington, 4 per C8Jit. from Maine, Massachu~etts and Ohio, 3 per cent. from Pennsylvania, and 2% per certt. from illinois and California. However, all the tourists who visit Can· ada are not from the United States. Al- though the total number of these is not known some idea of the extent of this in- flux may be gained from the statistics of automobile admissions. In 1935, for in- stance, 114 cars were brought into Canada from Hawaii, 50 from Mexico, 29 from the Canal Zone, 19 from Cuba and Puerto Rico. Half a dozen cars were brought from Con- tinental Europe, a dozen from Great Britain and half a dozen from vario11s countries of South America. During the same year one car from China was admitted. 'Ti• Not All Gold That Glitten The advantages and disadvantages of rural and urban life has been a favorite subject of debating societies ever sinco such organizations have been in existence. People will contiiiue to debate, and with- out benefit of a debating soi:lety, the sub· ject as long as there is city, town, villawe and country. It is rather curious, but never- theless it is the ambition of nearly every wealthy 1aan, ll&rtlculariy if he was born on a farm, to get back to the land, blllld an estate, and be a rentleman farmer. It is true, too, that many people in the coun- try are attracted by the gUtter of the city and apparent prosperity of the urban resl- dento. What they for.;et Ia that nine- tenths nf the city residents, more particul- arly in the large cities, pass a life of fac- tory or office work and have few of the luxuries of life. They forret that they know but a mere handful of friends, where- as in the country, they know hundreds and call thom all irieQda. The city folk poipt to the Isolation ani! diaadvantares of coun- try iif&; Tha laqiatlon and many of the dis- ' ~vanl:!'aea ar~ thJi!~ ,p,f. the! past, and, are · taat,~r ~ .. the mOlt remote ' fllrlll.ing districts. Most farm~ have &rear of some sort, they have the telephone, the radio, hydro, runulng water, bathfoomt" But atill the debates go on. They seem endless. No benefit can be derived from auch debates, except that of an enjoyable ho11r or so, for the enjoyments of life de- pend largely upon the individual. Editorial Nota Only 86 shoppint days until Christmas. Who would ever believe it! Thla town was terribly bomWded with bills from outaide concerns last week-end. The writer picked up no fewer than six different bills between Thursday and Sat- urday. Do your · Christmas shopping early, and do it in Whitby for a change. The usual number of "I told you so" gentry appeared on the Four Comers last W ednesW.y morning to remind all and sundry tut Mr. Roosevelt is the PreSident of tho l lnited States for the next four years. Taxpayers will watch with interest the progress of Premier' Hepburn's proposed recomme11dations to the Federal govern- ment which call for an amall)&mation of federal and provincial health services, labor administration and agricultural In- spection services. Amaiwamation baa been the national anthem of big business today with apparent success and mirht be adopt- ed to advantage in government matters also. Congratulations to the Toronto Globe for the atrikinr front page cartoon in their Armistice day laaue entitled "l'wo Min- utes of Silence."
