TORONTO OFFICE: | 5 407 Bond Building, 66 Temperance Street, Telephone Adelaide 0107, ol D, Tresidder, representative, FRIDAY, AUGUST 26, 1927 THE STREET FAIR Magnificent success erowned the efforts of the Oshawa Rotary Club in the Street Fair staged by: them Wednesday evening, «+ The object of that fair was to raise a sum sufficient to complete the improvement of prop- erty on Centre Street which will be used as a Children's Playground, and to equip it with those devices which foster health through play, While the auditors are not yet prepared to say that the net profit from the night's many colorful features will be, it is considered a con- servative estimate that between $4,000 and $6,000 will have been realized from the booths, Either of these sums guarantees the full development of the Children's Playground; an- other dream of civic betterment has come true, Rotarians, however, will not cease their ef- forts, Plans for the future development of the park, and the probable development of other playgrounds which will be needed to meet the city's growth, call for ten years definite effort on the part of Oshawa Rotarians and citizens at large, That the public approves of the playground idea was amply witnessed Wednesday evening, Volunteer workers, whose very names the Ro- tary Club finds it hard to obtain, gave splendid service, Without them the Fair could not have heen a success, And without the general support of Oshawa citizens which was so enthusiastically given, the whole project would have failed, As it was, this year's Rotary Street Fair was a remarkable success in every way, Aside from the material benefits conferred, such ef- forts tend to create civic pride and community loyalty. New comers find themselvés drawn into harmony with that thing which has made Oshawa what it is, Many living here went down to the fair district Wednesday evening feeling a bit aloof, however admiring, They left with the feeling of confirmed citizenship. No longer saying "Let's see what they are putting on" but proudly stating, "We put it over!" THE GLOBE'S ABUSE OF HON, MR. HENRY While heartily in accord with The Toronto Globe's editorial efforts to arouse public opinion against conditions which from day to day add to this year's frightful total of deaths due to reckless driving, the attack levelled at the Hon. George 8. Henry, minister of highways, seems not only calculated to do more harm than good but is also unfair. It is obvious that stricter regulations gov- erning highway traffic in this province must be enforced. But, first, there must be stricter regulations, which is a matter for the Legisla- tive Assembly to consider and enact. It is also evident that the policing of the highways must be more uniform and, thereby, more efficient. But again the Legislators of Ontario must frame laws that will make it pos- sible to co-ordinate the work of municipal police forces, rural or urban, with some central auth- ority definitely eapowered to deal with the situ- ation. It stands to reuson that Hon. Mr. Henry ana Government members in general are vitally interested in the matter of making Ontario's highways safe for those that use them. Aside from the value of lives already lost and those menaced by existing conditions, Ontario's tour™ ist trafic is too great an asset to be jeopardized by the criminally recidess, the negligent, and the unskilled or unreliable, Ontario can expect and does expect a definite lead from the Government as regards the tragic problem of its highways, but the very urgency of the situation shows the need of the most careful study looking towards remedial legis- Would an order im Council banish the reck- less driver or cure same motorists of Ontario of that easy tolerance which hesitates to report even the most flagrant abuses? One might as well ask an Order in Council to prevent drowning accidents. : The Times believes that something could be done at once with regard to some traffic abuses. It is convinced that the menace of glaring head- lights could be reduced, and that omnelight drivers could be taught carefulness by a few salutary lessons, But on the whole, it approves of the highway minister's policy which looks to education for a solution. The motor car is still in its youth, and inherent human selfishness will continue to make the automobile as much a menace as a blessing until such time as the public cons- cience, moving in its own mysterious way, puts the things which make automotive traffic a terror under decent restraint, Many things can be done to hasten the awak- ening of that conscience, but personal attacks on Hon, Mr. Henry is not one of them, AL SMITH'S CHANCES Among the Democrats in the United States, Governor Smith, of New York, is undoubtedly the leading presidential candidate, Mr, Mec- Adoo seems to have gone into complete retire- ment, Governor Ritchie, of Maryland, gentle- man dabbler in politics, goes his amiable and rather futile way. Senator "Jim" Reed, seem- ingly growing a little weary of the game, clings on in the hope of inheriting the Smith strength in a convention deadlock, The New Yorker is an active, alert and re- sourceful campaigner, a two-fisted fighting man who loves the smell of political powder. Given a united and fighting party, Governor Smith could be a dangerous contender, There, how- ever, is the rub, If the Democratic party must be united to stand it is bound to fall, The wounds of 1924 have never healed, merest mention of Smith or McAdoo starting them bleeding afresh, Prohibition and religious belief have broken it beyond repair, Should Governor Smith win the Democratic nomination--stranger things have happened--- his fight would just be beginning. To he elected he must induce Bryanism to swallow Tammanyism and persuade the Democratic donkey to wear the pelt of the Tammany Tiger, He must weld the Turpentine Belt and the cot- ton patches of the Dry South and the Shart- Grass Bryanism of the Bone-Dry West to the Wringing-Wet East, After accomplishing these tasks, which make the twelve labours of Hercules pale into insignificance, he must mo- bilize the Republican wets and Middle West corn and wheat belts behind his candidacy to win, AND STILL THEY DO Many are the warnings people have had that promises of hig interest on their money are vain, that ten per cent, fifteen per cent, seven- teen per cent, and so on are impossible rates of interest. Over and over again have people seen the dire results of entrusting their money to good-natured promise-makers, local or for- eign. And still they do. Nor is it always the unsophisticated, inno- cent; credulous, inexperienced ones who are taken in. Often men who are supposed to be Lard-headed and shrewd hand over funds to dreameis who can tell rosy stories of sudden wealth to be attained. We know a little town in Ontario in which there was an industrious and agreeable little man who had been born and reared there. Everyone knew him and his parents snd his grandparents. He was honest and affable but he was keen for money. In his late forties he went wrong. He borrowed funds from nearly all his neighbours, lavish promises being the only security. His schemes failed; he went to penitentiary ; but he is out now and unashamed. His victims were badly "stung," but they will do very much the same thing again--some of them. To get something for nothing--that hope will lure the money from the pockets of hard- working people. They know it is not possible; that these wonderful schemes always fail. They know they should not hand their money over. And still they do. EDITORIAL NOTES Better keep to the rectangular marker of two colours and avoid disaster. Legal language needs working on yet.

'WHAT OTHERS SAY ON BEING CIV] (C.N.R. Magazine) t' It is written in the nature of things that life is not a go-as-you- please affair, but that happiness and security for the individual de- pends in his becoming a willing and active partner in this joint stock affair which we call society and subordinating himself to those things which produce the greatest good to the greatest number. This is one side of the question; the other is that while the indivi- dual must contribute his best for the benefit of the whele, the well- being of soclety djapends on the development of the individualism and true universalism, a combina- tion of rights and .duties, both of whieh are elemental, both impera- tive, TRIBUTE AT WINNIPEG (New York Sun) The Prince of Wales must have had the surprise df his Canadian trip when, on arriving at Winnipeg. two elk heads and two beaver skins were presented to him, in accord- ance with the original terms of the charter of the Hudson Bay Com- pany of 1670.
