TUESDAY, AUGUST 2, 1927 9% CIVIC HOLIDAY Just what civic holiday is intended to com- memorate we do not know; but it is a grand holiday. Probably civic holiday is intended to remind us all that we are citizens of no mean city, We can remember a time, twenty-five or more years ago, when different municipalities had civic holiday on different days, It was rather a matter of civic pride to show munici- pal independence by proclaiming civic holiday on some day other than the one chosen by To- ronto, But this scheme would not work, To- ronto had chosen the first Monday in August and the big city is so made up of natives of the smaller municipalities that old boys and girls, coming back for a visit to the old town, found their fathers, mothers, brothers and sis- ters hard at work and unable to entertain them. So very soon it was discovered that the con- venience of people in general demanded that civic holiday should be uniform throughout the province, Outdoor Ontario is so gelightful in summer that we need an extra holiday. or two every month in order that we may enjoy our heritage. What do citizens do on civic holiday? Go away somewhere, mostly, A barber in Sea- forth, who used to conduct, twenty-five years ago or so, a funny column in the Huron Exposis tor, expressed the duty imposed by civic holi- day in these words, "The subject who is truly loyal to the chief magistrate will excurt wid the rest on the civic," And that was before the days of the automobile, when there were reduced railway fares for every holiday. How times have changed! Theugh it has no special sentimental signi- ficance and there is no celebration conencted with it, civic holiday has become a fixed insti- tution, The younger people of to-day do not know how it originated nor do they care; they simply enjoy the day. To judge by the ap- pearance of the crops, no farmer observed civic holiday yesterday but he will have his later on, For the rest of us, civic holiday comes at an excellent time of year. THE BEETON CASE Most people had rather assumed that it is only in the large cities and in the squalid sur- roundings of the poverty-stricken remote dis- tricts of the province that crime is and has been rampant during recent years; but, if the police are correct in their statements, a reign of terror has prevailed in the rural sections around the town of Beeton for some time, Rob- beries, they say, have been fairly frequent but have not been reported because the vicitims feared for the safety of their lives and their remaining property. If that has been the case in such a prosperous farming district as the one in question, then the same must be substan- tially true elsewhere in the province. That be- ing 80, Ontario needs a larger force of provin- cigl police, as well as a good many men of the mettle of Alexander Hodge, who refused to be terrorized. Certainly, more police are needed everywhere until pre-war conditions can be re- stored in Ontario. BETTER TIMES The Bell Telephone Company, through its commercial engineer, issues a monthly review of business conditions throughout the Domin- ion. Having so many branch offices, the Bell Telephone Company is in a singularly good po- sition to compile a report of this kind and ren- ders a public service in doing so. Like other reports of a similar nature from reliable soure- es, a strong note of optimism is apparent throughout the report. The word "increase" recurs with grebt fre- gnency. 'This word, or a synonym for it, is used of farm prices, industrial wages, employ- ies, ion, MII dE culture, automobile production, bank loans and deposits, coke, electrical power, iron and steel, pulp and paper, bank clearings and debits, ex- ports, railway earnings, and stocks. "Sum- ming up the foregoing facts," says the report, "it would appear that the general situation is favourable and that a normal condition is in- dicated for the succeeding summer months." It is a conservatively optimistic report. An- other quotation reads: : "Canadian wheat is recognized for its exeal- lence throughout the world, dairy products J war amo'd - a9 gaze ai ie i oe cil THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, AUGUST 2, 1927 our newsprint industry leads the world, Canada stands first in the production of asbestos, nickel 'and cobalt; third in gold and silver and hér known coal deposits are exceeded only by the United States and China, - The country stands sixth among the great nations in total value of both imports and exports, and is excelled only by New Zealand in per capita foreign trade." Canada is "getting there." On the whole, her people are spending more and saving more than ever before in the history of the Domin- ion, Those who really' wish to work can find plenty of opportunity to de so. Anyone who motors through the farming districts of On- tario will have his eyes gladdened by the sight of magnificent crops, It is a great time to be 'alive and working, WELCOME All Canada is this week rejoicing in the visit of the Prince of Wales, the Prime Minister of Great Britain, and Prince George. Nor must it be forgotten that Mrs, Baldwin, who is, per- haps, not so much in the limelight as her dis- tinguished husband, is also an important mem- ber of the party, Canada is the country of adoption selected by the Prince of Wales, To spend part of the summer on his Alberta ranch is apparently a real holiday for him, He is an ambassador of Empire, one who has the knack of making friends for the Empire and for himself where- ever he goes, Stanley Baldwin is described in the news de- spatches as a very democratic man with an abundance of common sense and an ample sup- ply of force and energy, He is giving Great Britain safe and sane government in a time of stress, From some of his predecessors he has inherited the handicaps imposed by their mis- takes but, in spite of these, he is making not- able progress, The Prime Minister of Great Britain is sixty years old this week -- just about a month younger than Canada, On account of this co: incidence his visit at this time is doubly ap- propriate, Who says that men in their sixties are past ther prime? Canada welcomes these visitors, It is occa- gions such as this that forge anew those in- visible and intangible bonds of sentiment which bind the component parts of the Empire closer together. Our guests will find themselves among crowds that are tumultuously loyal. AMBASSADORS ALSO Napoleon declared that each of his private soldiers carried a field marshall's baton in hie haversack, : With more truth, probably, it could be said every worth-while Briton carries the King's commission as an unofficial ambassador, British Bowlers who were Oshawa's guests on Saturday illustrate that generality. They came to this city, on invitation of the Oshawa Lawn Bowling Club, without laying claim to any special distinction, Yet each of them occupies an important place in some community of the United Kingdom, no matter the size, 'Keen sportsmen, interesting guests, they stood for the solid things which make the body and brains of the Empire--whether at London or Toronto, Manchester or Oshawa. It is not bromidie to say that they came as ambassadors of good-will. Unofficially, of course, and without any definite intention on their own part. But it is a wholesome thing for men to get together and exchange view- points, to play the same game and laugh at the same jokes, Such things foster understanding and clear the gir of that suspicion which fat- tens on hearsay. More of it is needed in Canada, even in On- tario. The spectacle of cities and towns in a given district acting towards one another like jealous schoolboys can be edifying only to those fallen angels who, denied all hope of forgive- ness, can take only one embittered pleasure which is in beholding the follies of those not yet damned, Unity, after all, is a matter of understand- ing. It is a gracious example that the British Bowlers set us in this regard. It wasn't en- tirely adventure and cs ly not superior bowling greens that lured them away from England, Scotland or Wales to "play the game" overseas. It is probable that their motive is as deeply rooted as that which also sent hun- dreds of thousands overseas a few years ago. 'A modest desire "To do their bit."

This was due to a large extent o the fact that Hon. J. S. Martin vas scheduled to read a paper on "The /alue of the Press in Rokr 8 Poultry ireeding Stock." lently knew that he was selling the tock and wished to find out how it vas done. At the outset Mr. Martin tated that he had sold, largely through he medium of press advertising, 7, 00 individual breeding fowl and over L000,006 hatching eggs. You cannot ell stock, he stated, unless you let he people know you have it. In this onnection he gave it as his experience arry an advertisement in all the local papers and the poultry papers; noi wecessarily large, but always accom panied by a cut of one of your birds l'o supplement this, publish a cata ion of your various matings and rices.
