SATURDAY, AUGUST 11, 1928 picture the Camera Man had to make a complete circle with his ne. The photograph from which the reproduction is made is % feet in length, The "Four Corners" has passed into history: the nucleus of a metropolitan city has taken its place, on, compact, well-built, and carefully designed to give light, ventilation, appearance, comfort, and a certain seclusion, with a definite endeavor to consider relationship to environment, The older homes in consequence have suffered renov..ion and remodelling with a desire tq bring to the owners and dwellers the conveniences of the more recently built dwellings. Build- ing has not been able to keep pace with the influx of population, and in consequence an attempted relief of the situation has been made through the building of several modern apart- ment dwellings. Oshawa has reason to be proud of her homes and their quality. In the present congestion of homes--many having two families or even three where one only should be--five years will of necessity go by before a reasonable relief of the situation can occur, Care of the Sick People are not always well, not glways attending to business and occupational duty. Illness is no choser of patients, no selector of beds, Twenty-five thcusand people grouped inside an intensively active industrial area must suffer at times from bodily troubles and infirmity. For those that suffer our city provides hospice, The Nshawa Hospital is able to take in from sixty-five to eighty pa- tients and provides competent medi- cal and nursing care. Well-built, mod- ern in construction, well equipped and efficiently staffed, it is a standardized Canadian hospital ranking among the best in the province, Qutside of the six largergcities of Ontario, no place in the province of- fers better public heaith department service than the city of Oshawa. All types of activities usually carried out by modern health services are car- ried on: prenatal maternity, infant and young child welfare, nursing, medical and dental inspection in schools, social and health welfare in homes, bedside nursing, emergency treatments, communicable disease supervision, tuberculosis, and vener- eal disease care. I do not remember that in my whole life I ever wilfully misrepre- sented anything to anybody at any time. I have never knowingly had connection with a fraudulent scheme, I have tried to do good in this world, not harm, as my enemies would have the world believe, I have helped men and have attempted in my humble way to be of some sery- ice to my country, --J.

Works of art of undying merit found in the art galleries of many countries tes tify to the surpassing ability of his- toric names familiar to us all. Then, too, the civilization of the middle ages was made glorious by the findings and scientific teachings of Copernicus, Galileo and Roger Bacon, men who recreated the thought of the world. If, when we are disposed to extol the merits of present-day ac- tivities as evidence of a civilization of greater worth than the world had hitherto known, 'we could spare a little time to ponder and weigh values, we might find that the con- tinent of America was somewhat raw and uncouth, having its greatest hope laying them regular. as they were prepared, Pacans and praises to him!

There was a time when men were something more than mere automatons, doing in the name of efficiency a certain thing in thirteen and a half minutes and something else in seven and a half, Revival of Progress A fresh start toward progress manifested itself in varied forms in the religious reformation of the six- teenth century, Contrary to the thought of many, this was not simply an occasion of protest against auth- oritative religion, but an effort to- ward national and individual freedom which found expression in a new life in trade and commerce. Men's minds were quickened and a higher civili- zation became an acknowledged fact. The force of this remains a factor in the life of the world today. Columbus had done his work in 1492, and now. English navigators brought their ships into line and sailed the wide seas over, Every- where the quickening influence of a new civilization was made apparent in the constructive works of the period, No two countries express themselves in the same way, and in a single country more than one form of civilization may he apparent, even to the superficial observer, In the British Empire there are many countries all loyal to the crown and throne of England, Each ex- presses its life in its own chosen way, however, and without special regard for the practice of the other partners. The civilization of India, the most populous portion of the Empire, dii- fers entirely from that of any other part. There are numerous examples. In Canada we have two civilizations in friendly rivalry with each other. In national affairs, however, they join issue, co-operating in the con- struction of public works by which both are willing the world should judge oi their work and progress.' Stupend Achiev ts of Today The continent of America presents a spectacle unparalleled in history. It should be a source of inspiration for all governments striving for the bet- terment of mankind, It is safe to say that nowhere else are men better supplied with comforts that go to make life worth living, nor is there to be found a people more truly de- voted to the principles which insure national freedom and individual liberty. In England, in Canada, and in the United States marvels have been wrought within the memory of living men. The mighty ships which plough their furrows in the deep have taught the world that the seas were not in- tended to divide, but to unite, the peoples of all nations. The electric telegraph, the ocean cable, wireless, the radio, the telephone, the flying machine--all bear witness to the con- structive trend of the period. In Canada, our great lines. of transportation hoth by land and water, our religious and educational institutions, our systems of govern- ment and finance, our splendid indus- trialism, our notable success in agri- culture, all conspire to advertise the country as possessed of a civilization created and controlled by a people determined not only to deserve suc- cess hut to command it, In many parts of Europe and Asia nations are in commotion, Russia and China may be said to be with- Peter Cooper on New York From. an Address in 1874, contained 27,000 inhabitants. The upper limits of the city Not a by day Wash- Wien I was born, New York street, either existed. General ington had just entered upon his first term as President of the United States, the whole annual ex- penditures of which did not exceed $2,500,000, being about sixty cents per head of the population. Not a single steam engine had yet been built or erected on the American continent; and the people were clad in home- spun and were characterized by the simple virtues and habits which are were at Chambers single free school or night, out a civilization. In Italy, Mussolini has deprived the individual of his liberty, but has united the nation and made it prosperous, The German people are busily engaged in the work of creating for themselves a new civilization. France, onee again, is practising the arts of peace. Al- most everywhere Democracy is in the saddle, This breeds a spirit of in- tense nationalism and would seem to be inimical to the creation of a world civilization. However this may be, there need be no doubt that the 11th of November, 1918, marked the be- ginning of a new era. The future is dependent upon the manner in which nations use their opportunities for the exercise of a higher statesmanship in the service of mankind, a service un- trammelled by nationalism, anxious only to ameliorate the conditions of humanity, usually associated with that primitive garb, I need not tell you what the coun- try now is, and what the habits and the garments of its people now are, or that the expenditure, per capita, of the general government has in- creased fifteen fold. But I have wit- nessed and taken a deep interest in every step of the marvellous develop- ment and progress which have char- acterized this century beyond all the centuries which have gone before, Measured by the achicvements of the years I have seen, I am one of the oldest men who have ever lived; but I do not feel old, and I propose to give you the recipe by which I have preserved my youth, I have al- ways given a friendly welcome to new ideas, and I have endeavored not to feel too old to learn, and thus, though I stand here with the snows of so many winters upon my head, my faith in human nature, my be- lief in the progress of man to a better social condition and especially my trust in the ability of men to establish and maintain self-govern- ment, are as fresh and as young as when I began to travel the path of life. While I have aiways recognized that the object of usiness is to make money in an honorable manner, I have endeavored to remember that the object of life is to do good. Hence I have been ready to engage in all new enterprises, and, without incur- ring debt, to risk in their promo- tion the means which I have ac- quired provided they seemed to me calculated to advance the good, This will account for my early attempt to perfect the steam engine, for my attempt to construct the first American locomotive, for my connec- tion with the telegraph in a course of efforts to unite our country with the. European world, and for my re- cent efforts to solve the problem of economical steam navigation on the canals, It happens to but a few men to change the current of human pro- gress, as it did to Watt, to Fulton, to Stephenson, and to Morse; but most men may lc ready to welcome laborers to a new field ot useful- ness, and to clear the road for their progress. This I have tried to do, as well in the perfecting and execution of their ideas as in making such provision as my means have permitted for the proper education of the young me- chanics and citizens of my native city, in order to fit them for the recep- tion of new ideas, social, mechanical and scientific--hoping thus to econo- mize and expand the intellectual as well as the physical forces, and pro- vide a larger fund for distribution among the various classes which ne- cessarily make up the total of society, 1f our lives shall be such that we shall receive the glad welcome of "Well done, good and faithful serv- ant," we shall then know that we have not lived in vain, general The power of a man increases steadily by continuance in one direc tion."
