Powers and Stone, Inc, New York and Chicage, mE = WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1928 TEE THE RAILWAY BOARD'S DECISION No little interest has been shown in Osh- awa in the hearing by the Ontario Railway and Municipal Board of the city's application for approval of by-law No, 1891 providing for a special division of the cost of paving part of Simcoe street south, As promised by Commissioner Ellis at the hearing on Friday, the award was made public yester- day, upholding the city entirely in the pass- ing of the by-law, This decision was quite in line with the statement made by Com- missioner Ellis in his summing up of the case, following the hearing of evidence, He pointed out the Board's position, as an ad- judicator between a municipality and rate- payers who question the validity or advisi- bility- of an action taken by the municipal council, stating that generally, unless a ques- tion of validity is involved, the Board pre- ferred to accept the council's action as hav. ing been taken in good faith and in the best interests of the community, The Ontario Railway and Municipal Board fills well the place assigned to it, that of hearing appeals of citizens who desire to have reviewed the actions of a municipal governing body, The case in regard to the paving of the portion of Simcoe street from Frank to Thomas streets, was quite properly on that might be referred to the Board, for it dealt with a decision of the council to ex- pend public money by assuming a definite share of cost of the paving of a city street, instead of the usual procedure of assessing the entire cost on a local improvement basis, The ratepayers opposing the by-law were thus given a full opportunity to air their views, and the council to defend their stand in the matter, The decision of the Board, in upholding the city council, was, however, to be expect ed. Nothing had been brought out in the evidence submitted showing that the council had not acted fairly and, in its judgment, in the best interests of the city at large, and citizens of Oshawa will no doubt accept the judgment of the Boakd as an entirely satis- iactory one, A NEW INDUSTRY Oshawa receives with full appreciation ' accredited reports of new industries to be established here, or announcements by firms. already located in this city who are brosd- ening their scope of manufacturing activi- ties. The formation of a Chamber of Com- ' merce for a "Greater Oshawa" and a recent resolution of the city council adopting a policy of definite encouragement of indus- - trial firms desiring to locate here or Jocsl companies wishing to add to their plants, "are indications of the spirit manifested in - Oshawa relative to industrial progress. As one example of a local industry that is widening its scope of' operations, comes the news that the Williams Piano Company, which a few months ago began to manufac ture radio sets, has been compelled to engage additional men and to commence overtime work. Their new department is di- rectly responsible for the much increased activity of this firm, while their older lines are just as popular as last year and are holding their own well from the sales stand- ' point, The manufacture of radios by the Will- jzms Company is really an entirely new in- dustry for the city, and is creating employ- ment for several additional workmen here, with the probability that the payroll will be steadily increzsed as the business grows. The development of this firm, one of Osh- awa's oldest companies will be watched with great interest and satisfaction. LET US STOP WORRYING An English scientist comes forward with the statement that there is a gasoline sup- ply in sight sufficient to operate the world's thirty million automobiles more than 2,500 years. The present coal fields will do that. Most of us will feel fairly secure about our future supply as we read that this same scientist declares that the oil shales will keep us in gas for at least 400 years. Besides this, the United States has a po- tential source of oil in more than a billion acres of land, as compared with the two mil. lion from which the present supply is being drawn, and which is, actually, flooding the market. And here we have been worrying because some of the experts have been telling us that our supply is already running short. Perhaps we shouldn't put too much de- pendence upon this particular scientist's as. surance of a 2,500 years' supply of oil stored up in the coal fields, or perhaps, in the bil. lion acres of probable oil land, But the fu- ture would seem to be pretty well taken care of if even half that amount is actually as- sured, And not many of us, except, perhaps, the scientists, will worry much if we can feel sure of even ten per cent, of this supply-- that would carry us along for anywhere from 290 years up. And who knows what may happen to the automobile in the next 290 years! A GOOD PLACE TO LIVE Oshawa is a pretty fine city any way you like to look at it, Oshawa residents think so--and so does the stranger--the population is growing rapidly and that means that people come here, like the city, and decide to locate here, Which suggests the thought--'"What are the things that make a town or a city a good place to live?" The New Yorker may sneer at the smaller cities and think that the great metropolis of the United States is the only spot on earth, Some men like the small town, some pre- fer the cities of moderate size, and others cannot endure the small town for even a few days, It's all a matter of taste--yet in each place can be found people thoroughly satisfied and content with their surroundings, In every city or town there is always some unexpected point in its favour, Every traveller knows that certain towns and cities breathe an attractiveness in every street and building, beauty of location, charm of atmosphere, tastefulness of con- struction, cordiality and courtesy of the peo- ple all combine, in certain cases to give a city distinction and grace, The traveller remembers these certain places, likes them, and plans to revisit them, Oshawa would seem to have many of these attributes which tend to mark it in compari- son with other cities of the Dominion, A newcomer pays this city the silent tri- bute of saying to himself, "Here's a place I'd rather like to live." There is just enough hustle and bustle, and just enough peace and contentment about Oshawa to make it an ideal place to live, Oshawa has all the qualities that makes a place livable and the world is beginning to realize this fact, EDITORIAL NOTES Some men are well-to-do because they are hard-to-do, Diseased nerves may excuse you in case of murder; but try that plea for forging a cheque and see what happens to you, bit of Verse NIGHT PEACE Oh, all night long upon a darkened hill, Among the moving grasses we had kept A watch upon the solemn stars, until At dawn we slept, And all night was the silence of the sky Upon us, not a word of waking birds, Of sheep, or running waters, or man's cry, Or lowing herds, But peace (that like a substance, is drawn down From Heaven) fell upon the aching mind, So we could sleep, when on the uplands brown Blew the dawn wind. ~D. B. McGuire, in the Sydney Bulletin, (WU a Clanee) Now just how did you like our "Extra" last night? Just shows how the Oshawa Times is spreading its name on the fmt age, It Aun Along the line of smokey hills The crimson forest stands; And all the day the bluejay calls Throughout the Autumn lands. It certainly is Autumn, or Fall. Why there are two names for it is more than I am able to figure out. .| Unless perhaps it is a sort oi passing period when we fall from the cheery atmosphere of Summer into the lazy habits and slouchiness of winter, Birds are gradually becoming scar- cer and scarcer, but it isn't any fault of ours. They have their lives to live, and probably when it gets cold they would just as soon live them in the south, when they might have a round of "gol§ or two every morn. It is a poetic time of the year, The brooks wax singfully eloquent as the crocodiles chirp and the bees flit from bough to bough. Little snakes make ready for their little beds under the sod where rest the bones of countless ancient heroes of the land, Pretty worms wriggle here and there in their endeavor to find suitable resting places for their headses. Bears be- gin to think of taking their winter's nap and dream of honey and chicken wings (something we love to dream about, but that's about as far as it gets). Ghostesses wander in their effort to scare darkies and shine their gruesome lights into windows at night, The sky-lark does his little morn- ing lark around the sun and we still wonder why his wings don't get burnt so close to that heavenly body. Dogs have taken on a peculiar note of late and their howl is of the dead. Pus- sics are shedding their fur to get a coat of tan to protect them through- out the cool cold months of Winter They will now be able to chuckle more comfortably on their box seats atop the back fence. The odour of moth-balls permeates the atmosphere and tells the neighbors that it is past the time when the red flannels should be brought out and prepared for win- ter use. A loud rumbling noise may he heard at regular intervals as the Johnses are getting in their coal supply. A sickening odor is thrust upon our nostrils as we listen to the crackling of the grate fires in the furnaces, the last of the summer's rubbish from the back yard, Burning leaves upon the street cor- ners convinge us without casting our glances around that the trees are rapidly shedding their mantles, They too have lost that maidenly aspect of "98 when women could hardly be seen for the clothes that trailed behind them, and are now casting them aside. The typewriters rclick faster and faster as the presidents and managers awake to the conclusion that golf is done for another season. Weiner and corn roasts have become a thing of the past.

POSTPONE START OF GERMAN ZEPPELIN Friedrichshafen, Oct, 10.--After a lengthy consultation with his staff, Eckener last evening an- nounced that on account of a de- pression in mid-ocean travelling rapidly eastward, it seemed inad- visable to start for America on Wednesday mornng as had been proposed. He feared not so much an encounter with a storm en route, but rather the difficulty of ext- tracting the Graf Zeeppelin from the shed in windy weather, which is expected here tomorrow CHRIST FOR ALLLALL FOR CHRNY Ne Sa od 2 ht we 2 poh -- Fk T0: OR MY GOD'S COUNSELS--O Lord, hou aft my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderiul things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth-- Isa. 25:1.

Van- derbilt learned from the lips of the Serbian burglar who broke in- to her Paris home during her ab- sence last July, that ome of the rings in his booty--a platinum ring set with diamonds, worth $40,000--was sold by him to a jeweler for less tham $500. The jeweler was found and brought to Paris police headquar- ters, where Mrs. Vanderbilt had been invited to come and question the burglar. He confirmed the burglar's story, adding that he had resold the ring to a foreigner whose name he did not know, for $750.
