TORONTO OFFICR 407 Bond Building, 46 Temperance Street, Tele phone Adelaide 0107, H. D. Aresidder, repre. sentative, REPRESENTATIVES IN 04, Powers and Stone, Inc, New York and Chicage, ans MONDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1928 TEE Mf KEEP STREETS IN REPAIR Oshawa's city engineer is a very busy man and no doubt has very many calls on his time, There is, however, one matter that a number of citizens have spoken to us about and 'that is with reference to holes in pave- ments which seem to be allowed to remain for too long a period, During the past summer a contractor for the Bell Telephone Company made incisions in Oshawa's permanent pavements on many streets, Some of these holes were repaired fairly promptly, but the balance were allow» ed to stand for a considerable time and some still remain to be repaired, constituting a menace to traffic, Other openings have been made for sewer and water connectiors and at times these have been allowed to go unrepaired for many weeks, Especially where outside contractors or corporations are concerned we think the city engineer should insist on prompt replace- ment of sections of pavement removed for the convenience of these contractors or cors . porations, Furthermore, the city should in- sist that such repairs be properly made, The crude way in which some of the work has been done should not be accepted by the engineer as satisfactory replacement, # Life in the United States and to a lesser but rapidly increasing extent in Canada has become a matter of a dollar down and a dol- lar a week, if we are to believe an analysis of business methods appearing in a recent issue of a' retail clothing journal, 'People are going time payment mad," is the charge, which declares further that wage earners have signed away their wages for years to come to procure the immediate use of both necessaries and luxuries, mostly luxuries, Credit not only is the life of business, but it is the salvation of a modest home, But isn't there a possibility that business rivalry makes credit so easy to get that we are in- clined to abuse it? Today we buy homes, insurance, automobiles, musical instruments, washing machines, magazines, furniture, clothing, electric equipment, engagement rings, radio sets, in fact about everything imaginable on the part-payment plan, mort- gaging our incomes for years, Discounting the future is, to a certain ex- tent, an aid not only to our social, but to our economic life, It not only establishes our faith in tomorrow, but it heralds the fact that our financial transactions are hon- orable enough for us to obtain credit, But there is always the danger that overindulg- ence in this form of buying is going to make us dollar-a-week slaves, Desire for the com- forts and pleasures of today should not lead us to place too big a mortgage on tomorrow, DOLLAR-A-WEEK SLAVES PROGRESS IN THE AIR Flying shows signs of becoming popular in Oshawa, as indeed it is rapidly becoming popular throughout Canada, The heavier-than-air flying-machine is just launching on its twenty-sixth year of flying. The first that "worked" took the air in 1903 after years of disappointing experimentation, It was in Kitty Hawk, N.C,, in 1903 that the Wright brothers--Wilbur and Oryille-- put motor io canvas wings and soared with the birds. Though a flimsy machine and one which the most daring flyers of today would hesitate to "go up" in, it was epoch making and for a time, more marvelous in the public i ; i i i i TT il ; 1 : i Fk HAE but it must be remembered that there are many machines in the air to meet with acci- dent. DEADLY Carbon monoxide gas is deadly--doubly 80 because the victim receives no warning of its presence, A few revolutions of the motor will turn a small garage into a lethal gas death chamber. The gas is odorless and in- visible, Chemists declare that less than three minutes is required to generate a lethal dose of the gas, even when the victim is strong, and that much less time is required to kill persons with less sound constitutions, There is one motorist who need feel no fear of this deadly gas. He or she is the dri- ver who opens the garage doors and a car window before starting the motor in a gar- age. Carbon monoxide gas never strikes in open quarters, It is a great temptation, on cold mornings, to tarry a few moments in the closed gar- age and warm up the motor and car before backing out into the frosty air, Just how often this temptation is resisted can be told by the increasing number of deaths due to carbon monoxide poisoning, The contempt in which many persons are wont to hold repeated warnings is demon. strated by these preventable deaths, For a little convenience or a moment's comfort they risk their lives, You ask why, Why does a hunter drag his gun through a fence or use it as a walking stick? EDITORIAL NOTES One objection to the radio is that you can't talk back, There may be art for art's sake; it is often art for jack's sake, It's all right to let conscience be your guide if you're sure you have one, It has got so every time a minority asserts itself in Italy, Mr, Mussolini has him thrown into jail, The time to call up is after the telephone girls have given all the wrong numbers to other people, Wives are persons who sit next to you and whisper directions concerning the correct use of tableware, Bit of Verse QUIET THINGS Because she laughed, and played with life, they said That she was of the noisy garish throng, Whose idle feet were only made to tread The crowded ways, and dange the whole night long! They did not know that she would steal away Heart-sick of all the noise that she had known, And out upon the hill-tops, make her way, And walk beside the river, all alone, Nor that she loved to sit and watch the breeze Ruffling the tall, rank grass where no one came, And held her breath beneath the latticed trees, To watch the Western ramparts flash and flame, / They did not know that when she danced and played, She dwelt within herself sll secretly |-- Her feet were still beside the river's shade-- Her heart was beating close beside the sea! --P. Mann in the Australasian. BANK ABSORPTION 13 APPROVED BY THE GOVERNMENT Strengthen in Good Times Rather Than Await Weak- ness, Says Robb Ottawa, Nov. 5.--The Canadian Bank of Commerce and the Stan- dard Bank of Canada, having com- plied with legal requirements of the Bank Act, the Treasury Board and Cabinet Council, on the rec- ommendation of the Minister of Finance, granted consent on Sat- urday to the absorption of the Standard Bank by the Canadian Bank of Commerce. In Public Interest Questioned as to the veasons which prompted thé two bw.nks to merge at this time, Hon. James A. Robb sald it was obvious the bank most concerned was the Standard. It would be recalled that the Stan- dard Bank in 1923 was compelled to reduce its rest and reserve fund and in 1924, when the Standard and Sterling Banks applied for per- mission to combine, the Minister of Finange, who is charged with the respofisibilities of administering the Bank Act, had sveeial audits made of the affairs of the two in- stitutions, A merger was then rec- ommended as being in the publie interest and it took place at the beginning of 1925. Since that date the regular reports of the Standard Bank had been carefully scrutinized and compared with the reports of other banking institu tions. It was apparent that the Standard had not been keeping pace, Mr, Ross sald. Strengthen More "Bank mergers," continued the Minister, "may displease some, hut bank failures hurt everyone and it is better to strengthen our finan- cial institutions in good times 'han to walt until heavy strains devel- op weaknesses. Having been through the troubles of the Home, Hamilton, Molson's, the Old Na- tionale and Union, I know where- of I speak." Government. ratification of the absorption of the Standard Bank of Canada by the Canadian Bank of Commerce means that the Stand dard Bank now ceases to exist. The head office and branches of the Standard Bank of Canada open this morning as branches of the Canadian Bnk of Commerce, SUSPECT FIREBUG IN COLLEGE BLAZE Investigators Prche Cause of Outbreak at Newmarket School Newmarket, Nov, 5,-- Fire Satur- day night, originating from un- known causes, resulted in damage estimated at hetween $4,000 and $5,000 to the implements and sheds of the Pickering College here. Dis- covered ahout 10 o'clock, the flames spread rapidly, lighting up the town of Newmarket and the country-side, Following the two fires within a week at St. Andrew's College, less than two miles away, incendiarism Is suspected here and authorities this morning made an investiga- tion At five p.m, Saturday the tractor used on the grounds was put into the implement shed by Willlam Langford, employed as farmer on the property, and it is stated that after that hour no em- ploye or official connected with the college was within the building, Fire Marhall Fire Chief W. W, Osborne of Newmarket refused to make any statement about causes of the fire, saying that the matter had heen placed in the hands of Ontario Fire Marshal Heaton, Toronto, An in- vestigation will be opened hy him tomorrow, Like last night's blaze, the sec- ond fire at Si, Andrew's College, it was pointed out, was in a build- ing separated from the school proper by a considerable distance. George F, Lewis, deputy fire mar- shal, denied today that spontaneous combustion had been held to be the cause of the second blaze at St. Andrew's. Investigation has beep in progress since thas fire, he stated, but the report has not yet been filed, Alarm Newmarket citizens viewed the conflagration with apprehension, as coming from the direction of their pew $180,000 high school, which was believed for a time to be the prey. Losses last night were chiefly to implements, a tractor and a binder being both destroyed, with other far machinery There was nothing within the bufldings of a specially inflammable nature, such as hay, it is stated, and the structures are pot wired. E. Penrose is farm manager of the college. The damage is partly covered by insurance. RECTOR ENROLLS As "SKY PILOT" London, Ont., Nov. 5.--Rev. J. MacKenzie Dobson, rector of the Anglican Church at Princeton, de- termined to earn the name of "sky pilot," has enrolled as a member of the London Flying Club, and he is taking regular instructions with a view to securing his pilot's lie- ense. Myr. Dobson served during the war with the C.E.F. Siberian contingent. He is believed to be the first Ontario minister to take up aviation, and members of the club look forward to the time when he will make his first parochial calls in his own "bus." SCHEME TO FLOOD MONTREAL WITH BOGUS MONEY St. Johm's, Que., Nov. 5. -- A scheme to flood Montreal with $65,- 000 im counterfeit money today, was nipped in the bud, it was re vealed here at the preliminary hearing yesterday of ome of three men, arrested several days ago. The man standing trial was Frank Poirier, of Burlington, Vt. He was arrested here. In his pock- ets were found a package of mone ey amounting to several thousands of dollars. He was charged with being in possession of spurious bills, An expert of the United States mint at Washington, here for the trial, testified that the pap- er found on the person of the ac- cused, was without ad oubt, coun terfeit United States money. The American treasury offical stated the bills were so nearly perfect that they would escape detection from all but experts. The paper on which they were printed, how- ever, proved to be the weak link, as the bills were thicker than the genuine currency turned out at Washington, Poitier's alleged confederates were arrested at Utica, N.Y. The local hearing was ocntinued until next week, SE ------------ LEGION ASKS ALL TO BUY A POPPY NEXT SATURDAY Money Secured By Poppy Sales Helps Disabled or Un. fortunate Veterans . November 1, 1928. To Editor, Oshawa Daily Times,-- Dear Sir: In writing to ask you to endorse and assist the "Canadian Le- gion Post 438" in their "Poppy Tag Day" on Nov, 10, 1928, IT would like to offer to you and your staff, the sincere thanks of the executive, and members of the Post for the many courtesies that have from time to time been extended to us as the Re- turned Men's Organization in Osh- awa, The Canadian Legion are again making an appeal to the citizens of Oshawa to replenish our Poppy Fund by purchasing the Poppies that will be on sale on Saturday, Nov. 10, by our taggers. The Poppy is the emblem chosen by the late Field Marshal Earl Haig 45 the symbol of remembrance for those who lie in Flanders Fields, and it is our privilege to endeavour to assist those who returned and are in need of a little assistance, In the first place these Poppies are made by disabled veterans in the "Veteraft shops" in Christie St. Hos- pital; these men are they who are unable, on account of their war dis- ability, to take their places in the labour market and, by this light work are able to keep themselves busy and in many cases keep them- selves from brooding over "what might have been. Surely this alone is a way In which any person would be glad to give some assistance, Then again the Post here in Osh- awa receives many calls for imme- diate help during the winter months and which we endeavour to assist with food and fuel. Our expenses on this item during the past year were $161.75 all of which our com- mittee believe was necessary relief. We have many returned men who make an attempt to obtain werk here and fail and are stranded and in need of hed and meal and in most cases are at once told to go to the Legion, and it is our desire that none of these men who have served should ask in vain and these cases are not always charged against the Poppy Fund but are helped by the com- rades themselves, Then again it is part of our eon- stitution to see to it that no com- rade who served Canada and the Empire should go to his ast rest without some remembrance from those of us who remain and the De- coration Day service is an example of our efforts in this way. Our balance sheet for this fund is as follows: KILLING BROTHER IS CHARGE FACING BELLEVILLE BOY Lad Weeps When Remanded and Says He Did Not Mean to Fire Shot Belleville, Nov, 5.--With tears streaming down his face, Harry Henley, 12, on Saturday heard the charge read in Police Court that he did "unlawfully kill his broth- er, James Henley, aged 15 years." The lad kept repeating, as he has done ever since his arrest, that he did not mean to fire the fatal shot. In his ragged clothes and tear- stained face, the lad looked hag- gard in court. Officials eaid he had slept but little in the detention room at the Children's Aid shelter, where he is confined. He had wept most of the night. The boy was not asked to plead and was remanded in custody of Capt. Ruston, Children's Aid agent, until Nov 7, After the court ap- pearance the boy was taken to a stere and a complete new outfit purchased for him. The lad is said to have admitted to the authorities full details of the shooting of his brother at his home near Millbridge on Oct. 31. The authorities are not yet certain what course to take, though court proceedings commenced with his appearance Saturday, The Crown, it is believed, will await the ver- diet of the coroner's jury before proceeding further with the charge. Under any other circumstances the boy would thoroughly have en- joyed his visit to Belleville. Brought up in the back of Hastings County ,nearly 50 miles from here, his family in poor circumstances, the lad had never in his life seen electric lights before. He is in the third book of the little country school he attends and is a bright boy, officials say. YOUNG HUNTER OF PETERBORO SHOT, DIES OF WOUND Bullet Fired at Bear Kills Ross Lytle, Aged Eighteen Peterboro, Nov. 6.--Ross Lytle, aged 18, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fos- ter Lytle, was fatally wounded Sat- urday morning while out deer hunting on the Oregon Trail, four miles north of Buckthorn, in Har- vey township. The boy, in company with four companions, Charles Nelson, John and Kenneth Ireland, left their homes near Buckthorn early this merning for a day's deer hunting in the northern woods, They had been out several hours when they came upon the trail of a bear which led into as mall swalil, Kenneth Ireland went in to drive the bear out and the other boys took up positions on the bor- der of the swail., Kenenth Ireland: had apparently accomplished his task and at least two of the boys fired at the bear when Ross Lytle dropped to the ground with a bul- let hole in his forehead. Coroner Dr, J, C, Smith of Lake- field, and Dr, Willis,, of Hall's Bridge, were summobed, but the boy died before they arrived, An inquest has been called.
