TORONTO OFFICE: 407 Bod Building, 66 Temperance Street, Telephone adslaide ator. A. D. Tresidder, representative, MONDAY, AUGUST 22, 1027 THE ROTARY STREET FAIR Oshawa will give whole-hearted support to ' the Rotary Club's Street Fair tomorrow even- ing, The night's carnival of fun and merri- ' ment will commend itself to all ages, Down- town Oshawa will be ruled by the Festival Svirit. Over a score of booths will invite good sports to show their sportsmanship, The bands will play; throngs in masquerade costume will add color and gaiety to the scene; the wilfully gloomy will go to bed early, while the heavy- hearted will lose a part of their loads in a riot ous contagion of youthful spirits, But the big thing about the Fair bigger than the thousands that will enjoy it, is the object, which is making of Oshawa a better city for children, The Rotary Club has purchased 'and largely improved some seven acres of ground fronting on Centre street as a site for a Children's play- ground, The club and its individual members have already spent some $6,000 on that de- velopment, Another $4,000 or so is needed t finish the job, ' The Rotary Street Fair is, without shame, a money making affair, But those who embark on its stormy financial seas will he comforted in any event by the knowledge that every cent of profit will go to the Playground, and serve in blessing untold thousands of children that, in the years to come, will find its gates open to them, Oshawa can recall that last year's Rotary treet Fair went to the completion and equip- went of the Red Cross Cottage at Lakeview +. yk, The work done by that cottage this N +i%ymer has proved of incalcuable benefit to | underprivileged children, including many on the border line of sickness and not a few suf- fering from severe physical disabilities, Oshawa took its honorable share in the fine effort and promise of the Red Cross Cottage, and it will be no less backward in behalf of the Children's Playground. Both make for better citizens and a happier city, HON, MR. PRICE IN ERROR On Saturday, in an article dealing with charges by the Port Hope Guide that "liquor interests and the Ontario Government were at- tempting to force it out of business," Col. the Hon. W. H. Price, K.C., attorney-general of Ontario, was quoted in the Toronto Star as fol- "I don't know anything about the newspaper situation I imagine, though, that with daily papers in Peterboro, Port Hope and at Osh- awa, the Liberal field is fairly well covered." + So far as Oshawa is concerned, Hon. Mr. Price's reference to the daily newspaper in this city leaves an inference based on incorrect information--or "imagination," to use the at- torney-general's own phrase. . The Oshawa Daily Times feels no sense of ich means that the news columns of The Daily Times are open without favor to be forced to say: "Here is something: just as good!" La Enterprise demands the right to declare: "Here is something better!" Business can have an inferiority complex, and it is nowhere more apparent than in com- munities which look upon Dollar Days as "new fangled notions." There is nothing new about the principle of Dollar Days, Every housewife uses it and the sweetness of Canadian homes testifies to her wisdom, wr Things accumulate, more marvellously than raere men ever know. That's what makes Spring Cleanings necessary, They aren't "cleanings" except incedentally, They are clearings! To suppose that homes are only spick-and. span once or twice a year is a libel on Canadian womanhood, But the Canadian woman knows that without periodic discarding of the less useful for the essential, of the debris of life for the things that make comfort in living, our homes would soon be museums of odds and ends, Dollar Days appeal to the thrifty, Real bargains are offered, luring those that "do without" into the broad stream of commerce, bringing quickening salespower to swell a na- tion's prosperity, Progressive merchants of Oshawa have de- cided to hold their summer Dollar Days on Fri- day and Saturday of this week, August 26 and 27... Reminded by the early morning, coolness which hints of autumn's approach, they are getting ready for something more than the usual quickening of trade in the fall, Crop reports' from all Canada spell *PROS- PERITY" in capital letters, The millions hrought into the country by this summer's tourist traffic will soon be seeking the stores, Prosperous people will want new clothes, new furniture, new equipment, By clearing the way for new and improved stocks, Osh- awa merchants will be ready to meet the pub- lic demand, L] EGYPT AND PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY Egypt is the only country known to history that was fleeced and didn't protest, The de- parting Children of Israel levied the world's first amusement tax. The Nile Dwellers didn't care for the show particularly, but they paid. According to the news, there will be a con- siderable amount of payment in Prince Ed- ward County as a sequel to the collapse of a business operated by Ralph H, Raynor and his being faced with sixteen, chargep, *"Minal or otherwise, The law is qlite precis ut ne- gotiable paper in the hands of innocent hold- ers for value. Prince Edward County citizens involved in this debacle are said to be both numerous and hard hit. They have been to school to old Dame Experience, who never wearies in teaching that "Something for nothing" is an absurdity, often a tragic one. Yet people, it seems, will not learn, Un- sound enterprises are backed on such impalp- able evidence of good faith and ability as an impressive presence and a friendly manner. That's the real pathos of it. Is humanity's caving for friendship so intense and so un- satisfied that a hypocritical crook can fleece hundreds, even thousands, by professing some- thing he cannot feel? Isn't there an argument here for more friendship in legitimate business? If the J. Rufus Wallingfords of the world can prosper by the use of the "glad hand," is there any sound argument against its being honestly used by men whose word is their bond? The root of the whole matter is that men won't seek criticism on either their sense of humor or their business judgment until it is too late. Many a happy home has been broken up by a man with one joke; and bank man- agers listen all their lives to men who mourn: "If I'd only thought of coming here first for advice!" { EDITORIAL NOTES "A sophisticated girl is one who has practised for years to attain her charming naturalness. The dotted line was invented as a protection against men who say their word is as good as their bond.

Miss Pacaud. who recently entered the theatrical profession, had parked her car in Great Windmill street. 'When she returned she found a policeman standing by her motor car, who an- nounced he held a warrant for her arrest. Imagining that the offense was merely for keeping her car parked too long, Miss Pacaud agreed to accompany the officer to Vine Street Police Station. With her was a gentleman friend. On arrival at police station, the Inspector of Police, to the unbound- ed astonishment of Miss Pacaud, sald: "There are several 'charges agalnst you," at the same time en- quiring if she lived on Clarges street, Miss Pacaud naturally gave her proper name and said she lived at Canada House. Unfortunately when the police telephoned to Mr. Pagcaud's private rooms at Canada House there was nobody at home. Miss 'Pacaud"s companion naturally stoutly protested against the actions of the police, and eventually the couple were allowed to depart. The police claim that Miss Pacaud was NOT arrested but merely de- tained, nevertheless it is certain that there will be a most stringent enquiry into the whole circum- stances. NOVEL EXPERIMENT IN ARMY MANOEUVRES London, Aug. 21.--A novel ex- periment in army manoeuvres was conducted at Salisbury Plain last night. The ohject was to diseover whether a mass force of mechanized military paraphernalia, consisting of tanks, tankets, artillery and engin- eering appliances, could move across the country in the darkmess without showing a light or with- out being visible from the air. Never in military history has such a formidable force in mass formation lumbered and thundered across the countryside, with aero- planes hovering overhead watching carefully for lack of discipline or fallure at concealment during the halts for refuelling and other pur- 52 King St, East Phone 871 J.
