WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1927 ALGER BLOCK FIRE Jive originating early tocay in the Biltmore Ca.e did damage, with the aid of smoke and water, approximating $100,000 to the Alger and Disney Blocks on King Street east. Whatever the final estimate of loss may be, it will go down in local history as one of Oshawa's most cisastrous fires. The outstanding facts about the conflagra- tion are yet tq be determined. Prominent citi- zens do not hesitate to say that the origin of {he fire should be reviewed by the provincial ire marshal. In the meantime, however, the (ity at large can acknowledge the debt it owes to its understaffed fire department whose :plendid=efforts kept the fire not only within the block of buildings where it originated, but confined the flames to one section of that block. Oshawa for several years past has enjoyed £n enviable position as regards annual fire loss. 4 few permanent men forming the nucleus of 2 volunteer organization has, hitherto, seemed adequate to the needs of this growing indus- trial city. The present year, however, has given drastic warning to Oshawa that it can no longer pre- sume on past immunity, or expect the impos- sible from its few permanent staff fire fight- ers reinforced though they are by a splendid body of volunteers. A larger permanent staff should not mean the doing away with of the volunteer reserve. Rather, that second line of defence should be considered as an additional guarantee against civic disaster which might come through fire getting beyond control in one of Oshawa's _major industries. , SOUTH AFRICAN FLAG COMPROMISE South Africa reports a compromise on the flag question which has been a bone of conten- tion in that Dominion for some time past. But as a composition, if the news report is to be entirely trusted, it ranks with "compromises" said to occur in certain families with regard to the annual vacation. That is, a hlisband yearns for the woods, his wife is determined to spend two wecks at a fashionable resort, and they "compromise" by going to the resort. As announced, the Union Jack remains the official flag of South Africa and will be flown on ships, docks, at capitals and on Government buildings. Apparently, the situation will be much the same as in Canada. The Union Jack here is the official flag. The standard commonly known as the Canadian ensign is. merely one approved for the Dominion's merchant marine. While national spirit may at times suggest" the need of a distinctive Canadian flag, it is certain that the one which it shares with the United Kingdom can hardly be improved upon in any sense whether traditional, artistic or sentimental. Much of the battle over the flag in South Africa has seemingly been due to the fact that those seeking a new ensign were more inter- ested in humiliating loyalist fellow citizens than in anything more worthy. Their defeat will cause satisfaction throughout the Empire. There is sympathy enough for real oppres- sion, but humanity has passed through too much real trouble lately to be deeply concerned over alleged ancestral wrongs. BUILDING TRADES PROBLEM Efforts by the striking carpenters' union in Toronto threaten to involve all associated trades in a sympathy walkout which is said to be under consideration by the Labor unions concerned. What action will be taken is prob- lemetical, but there can be but little hesitancy about predicting the outcome. A general strike, no matter how restricted its operations may be, is doomed to defeat the minute it is ordered. While Toronto's possible general laying down of tools cannot be com- pared to England's disastrous general strike in 1926, the spirit which inspires such a course of action is open to comparative estirhation. Strikes in Ontario, if the acts governing the relation of capital and labor are read aright, indicate merely that one side or the other re- fused to accept arbitration. Machinery is provided for the settlement of industrial dis- putes in this province, and while admitting the probability cf its being imperfect, it could cer- tainly be used with advailtage to the dispu- tants and the public at large. The' carpenters' union may have that prac- tically impossible thing which is an entirely just. cause of complaint. If they have, they lose nothing by submitting it to an im- tribunal. Ewen if there is right on both sides, what fair minded man would object to arbitration or fear the decision that would come from it? - Without exact information at hand, it is possible that the carpenters' union would have accepted arbitration proceedings but that the other side would not. If that isthe case, then they should not have weakened their cause by seriously proposing a sympathetic strike. Such tactics leave the limited field of industrial dis- agreement. and become a public issue. The public obedient to the law of self preservation, cannot endure the threat involved in such an endeavor. It knows from age-long experience that justice is never found through tyranny. THE KING'S ADVOCATE Sober consideration of the grave responsi- bilities and high service of the crown attorney- ship will incline the thoughtful to feel more justified in congratulating Lieut. Col. J. F. Grierson in relinquishing the office of Crown Attorney for Ontario County than in felicitat- ing Crown Attorney McGibbon in being for- mally sworn into his new office at Whitby on Monday. Familiarity, as with the medical designation of "doctor," has robbed the title Crown Attor- ney of some of its force. Yet the word is self- explanatory. It means that the one holding the dignity is the King's lawyer, the Crown's advocate. In the realm of jurisprudence, the terms "King" and "Crown" have a more general re- ference than to the actual wearer of the im- perial diadem. They stand, in analysis, for the people themselves, for their inherent rights and ancient privileges. A prosecutor, which is one of the roles of a Crown attorney, is in fiction usually pictured as a diabolical genius bent on the destruction of some obviously innocent victim of circum- stances. One of the things which account for the lax condition of law enforcement in the Unietd States is that sentimental tommyrot. The Crown Attorney holds a lonesome posi- tion. He is one man against the whole legal profession, a part of which sometimes seems to be an organized hypocricy. His job is not to convict the innocent, but to sweat blood in the effort to keep the guilty from going scot free. In addition to his legal talents, the appoint- ment of Mr. McGibbon as Crown Attorney should be a happy one for the high cauge of justice. He wears a distinguished cross in recognition of gallantry on the field of battle, and if any quality should rate highest in the office of Crown advocate it should be that of courage. EDITORIAL NOTES = , An executive is a man who thinks the lunch hour means an hour and forth-five minutes. Another fine old fiction character one rarely meets up with nowedays is the hero who signi- fied great self-restraint every 25 pages by clenching his fists till the palms bled. A writer suggests 13 ways for a wife to lose her husband, but. she might succeed, we sus- pect, without having to avail herself of all of them. Movie marriages get so tangled we never can tell whether a new one is a marriage or a SWOp. There is one difficulty about putting to death weak-minded persons. It might include too many. Bit of Verse WHAT IS SUCCESS? It's doing your job the best you can, And being just to your fellow man; It's making money, but holding friends, And staying true to your aims and ends; It's figuring how and learning why, And looking forward and thinking high, And dreaming little and doing much; It's keeping always in closest touch With what is finest in word and deed; It's being thorough, yet making speed; It's daring blithely the field of chance While making of labor a brave romance; It's going onward despite defeat And fighting staunchly, but keeping sweet. It's being clean and it's playing fair; It's laughing lightly at Dame Despair; It's looking up at the stars above, And drinking deeply of life and love; It's struggling on with the will to win, But taking loss with a cheerful grin; It's sharing sorrow, and work and mirth, 'And making better this good old earth; It's serving, striving through strain and stress, It's doing your noblest--that's SUCCESS.

WORK PROGRESSES ON RADIO STATION Being Erected cn , Lake Fron! at Bowmanville for Good- erham and Worts (By Staff Reporter) Jowmanville, Oct. 20--Work is pro- gressing on the broadcasting statioi which is being erected on the lake front here by the Dickie Construction Company, Limited of Toronto, for Gooderham and Worts, whiskey dis tillers. The' superstructure of the larg: two story building was begun on Sat urday when the bricklayers started work. It is not known locally of the braod casting studio will be built here, or whether the broadcasting will be done in Toronto, and ¢onnected to the loca station by wire. It is thought that tho latter plan is the one to be followed by the company. The top floor of the building, is se! aside as the living quarters of tlk operator. It is a commodious apart ment, consisting of six rooms, suitabl in size for a small family. The firs floor will be divided into a transmitting room, control room, office and work room. The basement will contain the transformer, batteries, and the furnace The building, which is being built o red brick, is situated in a field of si: to seven acres in area.
