SUBWAY The City Council as a whole, as well as its Special Subway Committee, is to be congratul- ated for prompt and business-like action in the 'matter of the proposed Subway under the C. N.'R."tracks at Simcoe Street South. : The first decisive steps 'are really the most important. Until inertia is overcome, the uni- verse itself may dream of populous planets and yct remain "without form and void". «"PHE City Council of 1928 is filled with the type of men who, once committed to a project, can best see it through to success. With evident cincerity in their support of the subway pro- posal, with a strong committee and clearly ex- pressed public interest, the matter should now * be put through with a minimum of delay. MUSICAL OPPORTUNITY The Musical and Dramatic Society of General Motors employees has issued an invitation to gingers: throughout the city--no matter where cmployed--fo join them in building up a hun- dred member chorus or better. This invitation should be welcomed by numbers in Oshawa who are active music lovers. oItis undérstood, more- over, that willingness to do hard work in the chorus * will 'be accepted, other things being equal, in lieu of previous experience. Oshawa can congratulate itself in having an organization such as the Musical and Dramatic Society: in its roster of activities. Concerts given: - during the annual season has brought ever increasing evidence of popular interest. The society, moreover, is to be commended for its adherence to classic ideals. There is a great deal of shoddy music in the world, and it'18 refreshing to find a large group with pluck enough and humility enough to essay work of enduring value instead of being content with presenting something merely tuneful but ephemeral. 21,4 NATURE'S PHILOSOPHY 'The seasons have again brought autumn around---autumn with its fulfillment of the promises of spring and summer in harvests of field and forest. And now, with its rustle of falling leaves, with its wind gusts that hint of chilling blasts to come, it sounds last call for outdoor sports. With its sparkling sunshine, its crimsoned and purple forests, its gold-car- peted fields, autumn beckons one and all to go out and play. Nature is preparing for its winter sleep and atitumn has been cast to enact its retiring role. That gleep may mean death of many of this year's glories, but autumn goes about it right gallantly. There is no somberness or mourn- ing or melancholy. It moves cheerily on the way appointed. It dons the most brilliant dresses in nature's wardrobe for its tryst with death. It mixes tonic in the air and serves it to man in invigorating, intoxicating manner, and bids him drink it in, to his good health. The gods, the Indians and all of nature's people draw philosophy from the change of sedsons and learn to face death cheerfully. Why ean not civilized persons be as wise? vi fos Le "NEWS-MAKING FAMILIES vt Otis. everybody hates it. This thing of a family always getting its affairs into is quite offensive; all feel that it reflects on the family very sadly. And apart from the irritation of having a family in the "midst" so lacking in' whatever it is g in, there is the annoyance of having to the domestic affairs of other people, ich is extremely distastely to tastéful folks. - Nevertheless, gentle reader, you must suffer reading much more of it, against your will, of cotirse, and this paper must suffer printing more of it. One cannot even imagine where the end will be. Sout this are 1 that. They run on: forev ever. Of course every newspaper reader will be annoyed by it, and 66 Temperance Street, Telephone involved! 4 yet all newspapers will feel it to be their duty to provide this provocation for righteous annoy- ance. : Exactly how the next batch of this objection- able news will break and whom it will concern no one knows, of course. It is impossible tc say who will figure in the next sensational divorce and alimony case, who will be kid- napping whom, who will be murdered sensa- tionally by whom, and who will elope wi whom, but it is a dead certainty that more of the stuff is coming, and the reader must make up his mind to face it, endure it, absorb it, anc go on hating it. It may be the Chaplins, or the Stillmans, or an heiress and her titled husband, or one of thc many happily but briefly married Hollywooc families, . . Perhaps it will be one of the olc reliable families, or it may be a new one that will burst into print next time. That one.-o the other will is inevitable. "And it is needless to say the story will be published against the will of the editcrs, the readers, and the persons ake dd AMERICAN COLLEGES "They are incomparable," said a French pro X fessor the other day on the subject of the uni- versities of this Western Hemisphere. He is on this continent to make a study of its schools of higher learning and this eulogy came after he had seen enough of them to have basis for a valid opinion. He was impressed with the splendid equip- ment of the colleges visited, particularly with the well-stocked libraries everywhere in evi- dence. Such equipment, together with the fact that colleges are able to draw an excellent array of professional talent, gives the student an advantage that is virtually unlimited. So says this French professor, and no doubt his message is a cheering one to those who are in doubt sometimes as to what the colleges are up to with the vast army of students now enrolled. On the other hand, some leaders in education are not so serenely hopeful. There are educa- tional fields which are still somewhat new as far as the college is concerned; at least these fields have not been worked to the fullest pos- sibilities, according to these educators. They would admit that schools of higher learning train for industrial leadership and for the pro- fessions. They turn out good engineers and competent physicians and lawyers and dentists. But this, if one is to believe our most advanced educators, is not enough. For some years now they have said, just as they are telling the graduates again, that they are not fitting out their students with an adequate social vision. The abiliy and desire 'to understand and pur- sue the interests of the whole group, whether that of city or nation, should be the distinctive trait of the college man. It might be unrea- sonable to expect him to put aside altogether his own interests, but a mere insistence on his selfish interests ought to be beneath the intel- ligence and dignity of every individual, cer- tainly beneath those of the college man, the expense of whose training is in a great measure borne by the community. This is an ideal on which the college authori. ties have a right to insist. There are too many persons who imagine they are doing well when they are doing others. Even the man who tells his wife she is the queen still wants to be the ace. You don't have to be bald to be coming out on top. You have to work your way through the school of experience. The man who never takes a long shot never shoots very far. Radio religious services will never be popular, because the women cannot see each other's hats. Bit of Verse A STONE There's a stone in the yard of a barn I kiow, Leagues upon leagues away, Where for a chat oft the young lads sat, In the friendly times of long ago-- Nor recked for the dying day. It has taken for years the sun and the rain, ! Like an isle in a lonely sea, Yet now from some chair at the top of a stair, In a city far, 'tis seen again In the light of Memory. There pictures were drawn that are faded long, . Tales told as a laugh went round. Does it list for the beat of those happy feat, For lips that broke, into revel and song 7-- You ask, but there is no sound. ~Alexander Lois Fraser. a EE Sta ----- -- TSE SF wig RID pa, GREAT SUCCESS i Put ori Ee | tionist, Delights Audience-- Varied Program MEE BA ---- ; About a thousand people attend >d the annual supper at King Jtreet Church last night under th: uspices of the Ladies' Aid Societ ind supper was served from 5 to 8 Turing this interval the an. fience were entertained with film: nder the direction of Mr. Deeniing letween reels music was supplied w Mr. H.
