TORONTO OFFICE 407 Bond Building, 66 Temperance Street, Tele phone Adelaide 0107, H. D. 'fresidder, repre. sentative, REPRESENTATIVES IN US, Powers and Stone, Inc, New York and Chicago, - MONDAY, AUGUST 27, 1928 A NEW TYPE OF APPRENTICESHIP | In the light of the expensive constructional development which characterizes the evolu- tion of Greater Oshawa, much interest at- taches to the new Ontario Apprenticeship Act, which represents the first legislative action in Canada designed to assist industry in its effort to provide adequate training fa- cilities for young persons entering skilled trades, It is the outgrowth of increasing interest and activity on the part of employ- ers and organized labour in the building in- dustry during the past ten years, The Act is in the form of enabling legisla- tion, It makes provision for Government gupervision of apprenticeship programmes, pnd for the setting up of representative pro- vincial and local organizations to promote and develop apprentice training in designa- ted trades, It does not impose regulations pn any trade or industry unless and until yepresentations are made to the Government, requesting that the provisions of the Act ppply to that particular trade or industry, 'IAt present, the Act applies only to the build- ing trades, but it is hoped that other branch- es of industry will make application to come within the scope of the law when its effec- tiveness has been demonstrated in the pres- ent limited field, This new legislation is the result of the eombined efforts of employers, representa- tives of organized labour, and educationists, who have been striving for some years to develop a system of apprenticeship which ould meet the needs of the construction in- dustry in Ontario, Apprenticeship in the building trades has n in constant operation since the days of the guilds, but the system of training fol- lowed by the master craftsmen of medieval times is not applicable to modern conditions fin Canada. It has gradually been replaced by poorly organized, inadequate methods, with the result that there is an ever increas- ng shortage of skilled workers in most of the building trades throughout the Domin- fon, Opportunities for young Canadians to pecure a thorough training in the building grades are few and many boys who desire to equip themselves for life in the construc- tion industry are forced to secure employ- ment along other lines or pick up the trades ps best they can, Until recently, it was pos- pible to import a sufficient number of skilled men from Great Britain and Europe, but this pource of supply is now very limited and it fs necessary to provide adequate training facilities for young Canadians, if the build- jng industry is to meet the demands of a growing country, A number of employers pnd many representatives of organized la- pour have appreciated the situation for some gime and have been striving to devise a sat- jsfactory remedy. The Apprenticeship Act §s the outcome of their efforts, {| The Act, with regulations passed from to time as experience suggests, should prove 8 happy solution of the apprenticeship problem so far as the trades now designated pre concerned. The old system of inflentur- which was one-sided in the employer's , has long since been discarded, and looseness which in many trades has fol- may now be replaced with something that will recognize the rights of all parties. i It is expected that through close co-opera- on the part of employers, organized la- and educationists, together with the oncentrsted efforts of interested individuals in each trade, there will be developed a new type of apprenticeship which will provide | thorough training for young Canadians en- tering industrial life, Such development will undoubtedly benefit both employers and organized labour, but it should be of even greater benefit to the general public. It will help to stabilize conditions in industry, will make for better industrial relations, will pro- vide opportunities for Canadian boys to de- velop their powers of craftsmanship, and will eliminate the possibility of half-trained workers demanding and receiving full jour- neymen"s pay, Advocates of the proposed Technical School will find in the new Act an additional incentive to make adequate provision for the demands for special training which will be the natural outcome of the enlarged facili- ties provided by this legislation, CHATHAM vs, OSHAWA The Ontario city of Chatham, with a popu- lation approximately two-thirds that of Greater Oshawa, is acquiring a technical school upon exagtly the same conditions which would apply to Oshawa, as recounted editorially in our issue of August 16th, The estimated cost of the undertaking to which Chatham has committed itself is $112,- 000, of which amount the Government will pay one-half, Of the balance, the county will pay approximately one-third, or $20,000, and the city two-thirds--some $40,000. As between the industrial activities of Chatham and Oshawa, the comparison is all in favor of Oshawa, possibly two to one in favor of Oshawa, and yet we find Chatham taking the initiative in providing facilities for technical training--not only that, but at twice the cost in a city little more than one-half the size, Greater Oshawa, the Motor City of Can- ada, home of ten major industries, has the opportunity of substituting a technical school building for an addition to its Collegiate In- stitute at an extra cost of only twenty thou- sand dollars, The issue is one which the public cannot afford to sidetrack, for the rea- son that the Government offer of shoulder- ing one-half the total cost expires with the present year, The essence of the proposal is contained in the following proposition, How can we serve the city of Oshawa and posterity the better--by adding a six-roomed wing to the Collegiate Institute and so meeting our own requirements, or by building a Technical In- stitute which will serve two generations and stand as a permanent memorial to our city's progressiveness as an industrial centre? HABITS A story is told of a man who had recently left the army and who was on his way home with some mutton chops for dinner, One of his friends as he was passing suddenly shouted: "Attention!" Whereupon he drop- ped his arms to his side, and at the same time dropped his chops in the gutter. Habits are very strong, Some are inher- ited, some fixed through environment and early training, some are just drifted into, and some are made through an earnest ef- fort to improve our expressions of life, GAMES FOR THE PEOPLE We regard the child's right to his games as even more sacred than the man's right to regard his home as his castle, To keep our playing-fields full is to do something to- wards keeping our hospitals and prisons empty. The National Playing Fields Association "banks all its faith" on organ- ized games in which men, women and chil- dren learn to play for their sides and not for themselves, and acts on the reasonable as- sumption that the same facilities for healthy exercise should be given to the great masses of the population as are available for those who have the means to join private sports clubs.--London Daily Telegraph.

On Picnics By Old Ben It has okerred to me during the last summer, why the country folks don' hold any more of them there family picnics out in the woods, The main reason, i think, is the fact that they have to be home on Sundays an' mos other days, so's they can | sell peenuts, and ice cream to the in cars wat come to buy at their houses. That, to me, is the one and mos' forceful reason why you don' see many deserted farm houses any more, of a holiday, But what are you going to do about it? Ye can't do nothing. Times is changed since I was a boy. Oh, how I used to 'njoy them days when we would be told we were going' to the woods for a picnic. Mother, that's yer grandma, would get us all up at seven o'clock on the day we wuz goin' and then would come the worst part of the whole day. We'd have to wash, and Ma, she used to make it a thurrough spillin' too. But that'ud be over in an hour or two, and soon we'd have the old two seat- ed waggon hitched to the team, I mean the team hitched to the horse and away we'd go, to a spot about ten miles away. Pa, he used to sleep under a tree all day, while ma was spreadin' the papers on the ground, and we wuz lookin' on, an' tryin' to see ef'n we couldn't get a chance to snook the cake then we got a real crack on the nukkles with a spoon er knife. After the day was all ended, an' we had started for home, all tyred an' feelin' like slecp- in', Dad'ud give the reins to me, an' I'd drive. ut, that didn't matter, cuz I could go te sleep, and soon we'd arrive back at the old farm house. The worse part uy the hole affair was when we 'scovered we'd left the camp kettle sittin' right on the log where I'd left it to bring home, and praps I didn't get re- minded that I was the one who'd leited it. * * * But, who cares about that. --By Renrut "Were the girls of your time as wild as the girl of today, grandpa?" asked an inquisitive grandson.

A CHILD AT THE WHEEL (Border Cities Star) A despatch from Columbus, Indi- ana, tells of a five year old boy who is so clever that he is permitted to operate an automobile. No doubt the boy is all that Columbus claims for him, but we are unable to agree that it is a good thing for five-year-olds to be driving motor cars. Too many grown-ups with childish minds are cluttering up the streets and highways now. We can't afford to have the hazard added to. THE MAIN POINT (Brantford Expositor) The act of a motorist, driving over a crossing. directly in front of a freight train causcd the engineer to put on the emergency brakes with such emphasis as to stall the train, which was thus sideswiped by a pas- senger express. There was a bad mess and the travel of the railway was held up until wrecking crews could build a detour around the scene of the mishap. However, the main point is that a fool auto driver saved a few scconds in going somewhere and this, of course, was of para- mount importance, THE TEN THOUSAND MINERS (Regina Leader) Canada in this projected influx of British workers, will be faced with an experiment, yet also with an oppor- tunity, If these men succeed, and are contented in Canada, they will prove first-class immigration agents, for the | satisfied immigrant is the best of im- migration advertisements, And the t many of the men who are are miners should not oper- t their success on farms. are hardy and used to strenu- ous work, and doubtless will find la- bor in the fresh open air of the prai- rics much preferable to the under- | ground toil to which. they have be- come accustomed, WHY MOSQUITOES WON (Winnipeg Tribune) If the Winnipeg anti-mosquito campaign has heen a flat failure it i wise the heavy rains this year sd the surface of mosquito places--created new pools of nt water--there was no more [ money to refill the necessary cruse of | il.

The fish, which proved to be a stur- geon seven feet long, was landed by W. Seppala, 296 Korah Road, just above Little Rapids, near the Neebish Quarry, while Seppala was fishing for pike. The big troll which was baited with a piece of fat pork on 200 feet of wire, caught on a rock and the 16-foot punt was stopped to dis- lodge it, While the operation was in progrss the sturgeon weighing around 200 pounds, picked up the bait. Seppala, who was accompan- fed by his nine-year-old son, Sulo, fought the fish for an hour, and after bringin: it to the surface, had no means of landing it. The only weapon he had in the boat was a ten-pound rock used in anchoring the punt. While the boy held the sturgeon's head above, Seppala hammered it with the rock until the fish was sufficiently sub- dued to be hauled over the stern of the boat. Then Seppala fell upon it, and held it while the boy steered the boat ashore. DESCRIBES WEALTH INNORTH QUEBEC Archdeacon Scott Tells of Enormous Amount of ; Natural Resources if ee Quebec, Aug. 27. -- There are mile lions of dollars in natural sesources which await development along the north shore of the St. Lawrence and in the Canadian Labrador, declared Venerable Archdeacon Scott on Thursday, upon his return from these regions. Three great problems face the pro- vincial Government in connection with the opening of that part of the province, according to the Archdea- con, the first and most important be- ing living conditions, the second be- ing the problem of education and the third the question of hospital and medical facilitics, both of the latter being sadly lacking. There are comparatively few schools in that section of the world, and be- cause of that the inhabitants of Lab rador must do without the necessary education which meant so much in the world of today. began to chase each other in a play- ful fashion, and in the scuffle sal- mon fis said t have run through a doorway, slamming the door on the Dermanuel boy's foot. The boy picked up a pitchfork and hurled it at the wall, intending to frighten Salmon. Instead of hitting the wall, however, one of the tines entered the boy's shoulder. He pulled the fork out and called for Smuck to go to the house and get some per- oxide. Salmon rose and walked about 80 feet when he collapsed just as Smuck arrived with the per- oxide. Mr. Young arrived and seut for a doctor, but Salmon * died shortly afterward, At first it was believed that Sal- man's death was due to another injury he received earlier in the day when he fell from a horse, lighting on his head. Dr. Ridge of Mount Hope believed, when he first examined the boy, that he suffered from hemorrhage of the brain from his fall, but it was later determined that the fork had kill- ed him. The fork which pierced his shoulder was sharp, due to the fact that it had heen scraped con- stantly upon the cement floor of the barn. Salmon has a father and sisters living in England, and came to this country five years ago. He had been working for Mr. Young for several months and had heen em- ployed by other farmers for some vears. He was highly thought of by all in the community. The Dermanuel lad 1s the son of Mr. Young's sister, and was here on a visit of two weeks from Wes- leyville, Pa. He was on the most friendly terms with Salmon, and the two had occupied the same room, An inquest has been ordered for Wednesday night at the Court House in Hamilton, FRENCH EDITOR SAYS ENGLAND VICTORIAN (By Canadian Press) Paris, Aug. 27.--Despite lipstick and | jazz, bottle and pajama parties and | midnight mixed bathing, England is | still Victorian.

Not that he has not already made up his mind about the island and its inhabitants. He has already done so and perhaps only to whet his appetite for his next visit he gives his views to his readers: "You have to go to Great Britain --not London"-- he says, "in order to get away from British snobbery and that American snobbery which has permeated the world. In Great Bri- tain vou will still ind that good fel- lowship, genuineness and old, provin- cial spirit which the British have al- ways showered on the visitor with such exquisite courtesy. "Nowhere in the world do the old customs of Europe survive as in old England and honest Scotland, "Great Britain still has her lessons to give but who heeds them?
