"A FRIDAY, JULY 5, 1929 MAKE IT UNANIMOUS The city council, at its meeting on Wednesday evening, adopted, in principle, the purchase of the Conant property on Simcoe Street South as an in- dustrial area, and. authorized the preparation of a bylaw to put that principle into effect. The decision was reached only after a lengthy debate, which closed with a vote of nine in favor and three against. ' At the next meeting of the council, the bylaw mak- ing the decision effective will be brought forward, In the interests of the city, and for the sake of the moral effect which it should have, the city council should support the bylaw unanimously. It is the privilege of men in public life to disagree 'with each other on many. questions, Public affairs are helped by full discussion, and often by a strong opposition to proposals which, in the minds of some of the council members, are unwise, Such discus- sions clear the air of misunderstandings, and help to convince those who are in the minority that there may be some merit in the proposals supported by the majority. That phase of the industrial area question is, how- ever, past. The discussion at the council meeting served to clear up some points which were the cause of the opposition, "For instance, Alderman Preston stated that if he could be assured that the Oshawa Industrial Founda- . tion, Limited, wished to use the Conant property in preference to any other, he would be in favor of the purchase. Alderman Hart immediately replied that this was the property which that company intended to use, thereby giving an answer which should have * satisfied Alderman Preston's objection, The vote on Wednesday night, nine to three, was sufficiently conclusive to indicate the trend of mind of the council. It would be a gracious act, and one "in keeping with the citys best interests, were the . vote in favor of the bylaw to be made unanimous, Those opposed have had their say. They have ex- pressed their views honestly apd fairly, and have done what they considered to be their duty in opposing the principle at stake. But now that the principle has been adopted by the council, it would be a worthy step on their part to fall in line with the majority, and show the world that Oshawa's council is a unit in seeking the best in industrial development and progress. OSHAWA'S MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT Once again the question of making a change in the form. of municipal government 'in effect in Oshawa has been shelved in the city council. Probably there were too many phases involved in the matter in the form in which it was proposed by Alderman Carnell, for, as the finance committee admitted after consid- "ering the question, it was not possible to unite all the members in favoring any one system proposed, The question will, of course, be revived again at' a later date, and it is hoped that that date will be in the not too distant future. Oshawa's recent growth makes it essential that there should be some redis- ' tribution of city council representation, and from that angle alone, the matter should not lic on the sheli-too Jong. . When it is again brought forward, however, there should be no confusing of the issue by the considera- tion of too many questions, The sole issue should be whether the council shall be elected by wards or by a citywide general vote of all the aldermen, with half of the council elected each year, and the council _ reduced to, at the most, ten members. That would be a clear cut issue, and one on which there could be little room for confusion of thought, The Times is committed in favor of this plan, and believes "that the council should do what it is re- quired to do by statute, and this is, heed the voice of 'the petition which was presented to that body last year, and submit the question to a vote of the electors. . 4 PARKING SPACE FOR CARS Some weeks ago, The Times pointed out that aute- mobile congestion in the city of Oshawa had reached the point at which it was absolutely essential that some central parking ground be. provided, in. order to relieve the streets in the business section from the mass of parked cars which blocks the entrances to places of business. That suggestion has apparently fallen on fertile soil, for the city council, at the re- quest of the police commission, has decided to set aside the city property between Metcalf and Bagot - Streets as a parking ground for cars, : This is a forward step, and it has not been taken any too soon, The result should be to greatly relieve growding of cars on the streets, especially on Satur- day evenings, and the police commission is to be commended on having seen the necessity of this method of lessening traffic troubles, | ¢ nv ia 4 CONGRATULATIONS its cightieth anniversary is notewefthy "achiev for any 'business in" a young country " 'such as Canada is, and the London Free Press.is to be congratdlated on having safely 'reached that mile- "stone in its history. Canada has seen many changes and 'mich. progress since the day eighty years ago when the late Josiah Blackburn published the first copy of the Free Press, and the newspaper which he founded has kept .pace with the changes and pro- gress until today it merits to 'the full its title of 'Western Ontario's Foremost Newspaper," To celebrate its eightieth birthday, the Free Press this week issued a special anniversary edition, an edi- tion of which its publishers can well be proud, Out- standing among the many features are those which tell the story of the newspaper's making, and show, :|. in picture, the large staff and the mass of equipment nécéssary for the publication 'of a modern daily newspaper, It impresses one with a realization of the amount of energy and effort which' daily goes into the production of a newspaper, and tells the world why the Free Press has reached such a posi- tion of eminence in the community, which it serves, The Times, admittedly a youngster in the ranks of daily newspapers, in years at least, is pleased to have the opportunity of congratulating its Western 'On- tario contemporary on attaining the ripe old age of cighty years in a flourishing and prosperous state, and of wishing that it may long continue its splendid service to not only the city of London, but the wider community of Western Ontario, THE LABOR UNEMPLOYMENT POLICY There myst be some good in the policy which has been enunciated by the Labor government, through the Rt, Hon, J. H. Thomas, for the solving of 'the unemployment problem in that country. When the Conservatives and Liberals alike find much that is good in it, gnd little that is. worthy of criticism, then it is a fairly good indication that the Labor govern- ment. is on the right track. ; There was one remark in the address of Mr, Thomas; however, which stands out as the keynote of 'a policy that might well be copied by this country. In the course of his speech, he said: ' "What we import we should make for ourselves." That is exactly the sore spot in the British situa- tion, just as it is an essential for continuation of in- dustrial 'progress in Canada. No country can hope to fight unemployment effectively, or to give its industries the benefit of its own markets, when mil- lions upon millions of dollars worth of goods that could be made within that country are imported every month, The difficulty apparently seems to be to per- suade people to. buy only goods that are made within their own' country whenever these are available, in preference to those made elsewhere, Every dollar's worth of goods purchased and made in Canada provides just that much more employment for Canadian workmen, while when the goods are imported, employment is provided for workmen in another country. The principle enunciated by Mr. Thomas is a simple one, and is a fundamental neces- sity for national wellbeing. The trouble seems to be in convincing the buying public that they have a part to play in putting it into practical effect. AN IMPORTANT DECISION Some time ago, The Times took exception to a police court judgment dismissing a charge laid against an officer of the Detroit American Legion for having served liquor at a banquet held in a room in a Windsor hotel. The charge at that time was dis- missed because the defence made a plea that the accused had rented the room, and that it was, for the time being, his private dwelling. This was, as was pointed out at the time, the merest camouflage of a defence, and had that decision been allowed to stand, the foundation of one of the most important principles of the Liquor Control Act would have been removed. The case, however, was appealed, and Judge Coughlin of Essex has reversed: the decision of the magistrate, His decision is that the serving of liquor, as specified, constituted a breach of the act, and that the magistrate was wrong in dismissing the case. In his judgment, he says: ' d "I am. of the opinion that where admission to a function in a hotel room is by paid admission, that room ceases to have the character of a pri- vate guest réom, within the intent of Section 91 of the statute." The judge, of course, is absolutely right. Had he + decided otherwise, the way would have been opened far the holding of countless banquets in rooms rented for the purpose, and at which liquor could flow freely within the law. That was never the intention of the Liquor Control Act. Bad as it is,'it has at least the merit of frown- ing on drinking 'at public and even. privaté functions of this nature. It is specifically stated that no liquor shall be served at public banquets unfess a permit has been granted, and so far no permits of this kind have been given, The decision of Judge Coughlin will do much to restore confidence in that section of the act which is intended to bar liquor from ban- quets, and to effectively hinder further offences against it.

Joe Wright defeated Jack Guest, but the race was close enough to suggest that in another year it will not be all right for Wright. The long list of cases in'the Oshawa Division Court this week suggests that the decision to give Oshawa and East Whitby a separate court was not made any too soon.

McLaughlin's success at the rese show in Toronto, shows that Oshawa can provide conditions conducive to the best in horticulture, and it should be instrumental in encouraging others to grow more flowers. : OSHAWA DAILY, TIMES, FRIDAY, JULY 5, 1929 Other Editor's Comments TIME FOR ACTION (Brantford Expositor) ; When the pupils of a Saskatche- wan school rebel, assault the teach- er and cry "Down with the English," there should be thorough investiga- tion and prompt action regardless of the large foreign vote in that pro- vince, WOMEN'S INSTITUTES (London Daily News) : Started fourteen years ago, this widespread = organization now come prises some 4, institutes with an active = membership of 267,000, among w : social sphere, from the titled lady to the plowman's wife, It is essen- tial to a country-woman's movement and it is to country-women alone that the credit is due. SUGGESTS A BUYERS' STRIKE (Manitoba Free Press) are being raised in the United States against Canadian farm products, a buyers' striké on the part of wes- tern farmers in regard to farm im. plements from the United States is suggested in a letter which appears on the correspondence page of this issue, The writer proposes that the farmers' organizations negotiate with the Canadian manufacturers of farm implements and make a fair arrange- ment for obtaining from them the whole of the requirements of the western farmers, If they can do this, he says, and not pay any more for the implements, they will be meeting the new situation in the most effec- tive way, Whether or not this sug- gestion could be carried out on an organized plan, it is probable that the western farmers and Canadians in general will be inclined to give a distinct preference to Canadian goods as against goods from the United States whenever they can do so with reasonable satisfaction as to quality and price. If the Canadian tariff is not raised, there will be assurance that prices will not be increased and there will be the more inducement to buy Canadian goods. . It is na- tural to expect that there will be much more interest in Canadian and British goods on the part of Cana- dian purchasers and that the volun- tary preference, justified by the cir- cumstances may have a very consid- erable effect. As far as the western farmers are concerned, it would be a much better way of meeting the situation than raising the duties against United States farm imple- ments, - Bits of Humor - DIAGNOSIS "Now that," said the policeman, as he watched the drunken epileptic, "is what I would call a tight fit," "What makes you stutter?"

BR. KENNEDY Editor, Stratford Beacon-Herald and a member of the Canadian newspapermen's party npw touring Europe), Vimy Ridge, Sunday, June 16~It is very quiet here this afternoon. Overhead the sun shines brightly, In the ficlds around are poppies, also little yellow flowers that] look not unlike our buttercups. Gone is 3ll the gaiety of Paris, and the conversation and laughter of the friends with whom we travel, nly one other man is around, Cap~ tain Simpson, of the Imperial War Graves Commission, With bared heads and a feeling that combines reverence, loyalty and grief, I walk within the little walled city of the dead, May I, quite near the start, assure those whose loved ones are buried in the war cemeteries of rance, assure them that the cem- etery is a quiet resting place; it is cared for with a thoroughness and a reverence that could hardly be ex- ceeded by relatives and loved ones. First Four White Stones I walk on. Before me are the first four little white stones that come to my attention, With a feeling that produces a great lump in the throat and that draws a tear to the eye, I read that the ages of these lads were 16, 17, 23, 19. Caught up with the fancy of war, they were like those, who with hasty feet, seek to outrun their fellows up the slope of some great hill, This is not a large cemetery, per- haps it would be regarded as one of the smaller ones among the 600 war cemeteries of France. It is on Givenchy Road, and there are not over 120 graves there. They were the lads who fell around Vimy Ridge. With design, it must be admitted I asked the privilege of visiting a small Canadian cemetery, The larg- er ones, on the main roads of travel, are kept in wonderful condition, The same is done, I know for a fact, for the smaller ones, The Nation Rebuilding _ Strange the feelings that surge up in one after such a day as that which is now well spent. I have passed through such places as Amiens, Albért and Arras; have had opportunity to witness the evidence of wholesale rehabitation; have seen where whole cities have been renewed. At other places we have fone to' look at war memorials, yet cannot get away from this idea: The cities can and have been re- stored, Artisans have applied their skill and the city has risen once more; great monuments do we rear to the departed loved ones, and it is well and fitting that we should; yet after all these things have been attended to, come with me for even one short moment, and stand quiet- ly and reverently facing those first our little stones, and look just once at those age figures, 16-17-23-19, Buried Far From Home We spend our millions now on restoration and memorials; on pay- ment of war debts we spend more millions, but-- We have something left, We have life and the chance to go about our daily business and play as best we can the little role that may be plac- ed across from our names, These lads who rest beneath the sun-kissed skies of France, thou- sands of miles from home--they paid for it by giving everything they had. Never before have I realized what it must have meant and what it still means to those who have loved ones buried here in a strange land, where those who pass by speak a strange tongue. Once more let me give the most positive assur- ance that the cemeteries are kept in a manner which leaves nothing to be desired. The grass is as a green carpet; a little native vine with a blue flower adds its touch of color, Outside the little stone wall, the poppies grow again, The French peasant refers to them as a weed, but to the Canadian they have be- come full-freighted with thoughts and memories that are sacred to the hearts of thousands of Canadian homes, @ Let those who talk glibly of wars and rumors of wars, and who speak casily about great programs for cruisers and the building of great forces to do battle, walk often past and through the war cemeteries of France, They would make dumb the tongue of the jingo and turn to s¢Fibusness the blatant talk of those who have no vacant chair in the family circle. With great reverence may' I close: "Great God in Heaven, look with compassion upon those whose dear ones lic on these sun-kissed hills of France" That Body of Pours By Jomes W. Barton, M.D. DEVELOPING CHILDREN INTO NORMAL ADULTS One of the natural little mistakes mothers make is their endeavor to keep their little youngster in his or her own yard to play. A sand pile is built in a corner of the yard, with perhaps a little swing or othér apparatus also. The mother feels that with a yard thus equipped the youngster is get- ting the necessary air and chance to play. Now it is the period -: before the child goes to school that is really the most formative, the tnost important from the brain standpoint, of its whole life. And although it gets a chance to exercise its body, and brain also, in the use of the little play yard and its equipment, it is missing nevertheless the most important fac- tor in its development, And that factor is the presence of other children. Now your youngster is normal mentally, physically, and morally, or he is not. If he has any physical pecularity such as lameness from meningitis, perhaps one eye turned in slightly, 1s very very fat or very very thin, has very red hair or long curls, any- thing in fact that will cause com- ment, he should get used to that comment instead of h aving the mother shicld him at every turn. f course anything that can be corrected should be done, There may be conditions glandular or otherwise, that may be helped, Perhaps he is overbright, or not as bright as a normal child his age. The presence of the youngsters can- not harm the bright boy and helps to sharpen the one who is less bright, If the youngster has little "be haviorisms" such as a violent temper, selfishness, cruelty toward animals, he learns that the other youngsters expect him to "play the game" or they not play with him, He learns that he must not run to his mother with a complaint about this, that, or the other playmate, be- cause his mother proves him to be in te wrong most of the time, . The thought behind this of course is that mental cases at my time are just individuals who have not heen able, or will not try, to take their place in the world with other people. Very few of them are dangerous, Most of them just don't want to shoulder responsibilities, And the greatest opportunity to to develop the ability to take their natural place, is when they are youngsters at play, (Registered in accordance with the Copyright Act).
