FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 1929 =, LOCAL JOBS FOR LOCAL MEN There should be no deviation from the policy enun- ciated by Mayor Mitchell 'yesterday that local men will be given the preference in all civic employment work undertaken this year, whether that work be part of the city's regular construction program, or whether it be special work provided to help take care of fall and winter unemployment, Oshawa is in a peculiar position, a position very much like that of Toronto. The busy seasons of the year attract to this city many unskilled laborers, with no ties to hold them to any one place. They 'come to Oshawa, work here for a time, and then remain to add to thie ranks of those who are seeking casual employment. It is an unfortunate position for these men, but they have not the claim on the city's consideration that can be made by men with homes and families in the city to support, men who have lived here for a period of years. It is a recognized principle that, in all civic work, and work which is under the control of the muni- cipal council, local men shall be given the preference, Very often, however, this principle is honored more '+ in tHe breach than the observance, and it would be well if the mayor should back up his declaration of the principle by sceing to it that it is put into practice to the fullest possible extent. THE AIRPORT SCHEME Linked up with the plans for the development of the harbor and the industrial areas of Oshawa is a proposal for the establishment of an airport here. There is still, however, a certain lukewarm attitude on the part of many citizens towards this proposal, largely because' there is not, as yet, any strong cur- rent of air-mindedness in the community. The first step, .then, towards any movgment for the creation of an airport must be the development of the right attitude towards a proposal of this kind, It is noticeable that city after city in Ontario is becoming strongly impressed with the need and the value of providing accommodation for aeroplanes. . Stratford, Kitchener, Kingston, Brantford, London, Hamilton and St, Thomas are but a few of the places where there have been definite steps taken for the provision of airport facilities, In some of them, the airport is now in full operation, and is attracting business through new avenues. Oshawa can hardly afford to be behind other cities in this * new ficld of commerce and transportation, One of the first essentials towards the project, of course, is the creation of an active flying club in the city, With such a club functioning in co-operation © with an airport, the project would be greatly sim- plified. A flying club would be eligible to receive = free of cost from the dominion government, aero- £3 planes for use for instructional and other purposes. S..

As has been rumored for seme time, the Skinner + Company, Ltd, of Gananoque, which is shortly to a ii establish a large plant here, has been taken over by concern, the Houdaille-Hershey This, of course, must be for the company, or the And it "" might also be said that it is agood deal for Oshawa. While the plans for the Oshawa factory of the company are. of a somewhat ambitious nature, it is 'not going) t00 far to suggest that they are but the 5 beginning of what will become a large Oshawa in- dustry. The very fact that so large a corporation, "is now behind the company raises the hope that the © a large Montreal Corporation of Montreal. : Fi "Oshawa unit will become the most important Can- a adian plant of its kind. Great things are always pos- i sible when they are being handled by big corpora- " Stions in a big way, and the Skinner Company merger Emay yet. turn out to be one of the biggest things "that has happened in some years for. the industrial "welfare of the city. 3 NOT MUCH GOOD a Sit Henry Drayton has returned from France with a wonderful idea for making the people of Ontario Bmore sober. His plan is to encourage them to drink more wine and beer and less whiskey and rum. It Ssounds wonderful, doesn't it. It is just like trying | To stop a man from committing suicide by* persuad- "ing him to hang himself instead of taking poison, Y Neither Sir Henry Drayton nor any other man can .ptop 'or lessen the trentendous copsumption- of liquor 3 = & ' | to foster class war all over the world, A in Ontario by SURECPINE fhat, some other form of intoxicant be taken instead, There is need for far more drastic action than that to aly 'the liquor traffic. ; There is only one. way in. which 'a drinking of liquor in Ontario can" be '¢hecked, 'and' that 'is by tearing up, root and branch, the whole despicable traffic, which fattens itself on the suffering and mis- eries of men who have not the will power to resist what is placed before them, When governments are elected which will have the courage to do that, then and then only will there be real sobriety in the pro- vince of Ontario and elsewhere throughout the Do- minion "of Canada, THE SAFE WAY: The successful passage of the' Graf Zeppelin across the Atlantic, and its departure on a proposed' aerial trip around the world, marks another stage in the development of long distance aerial travel, The Graf Zeppelin's flights, coupled with the successful flight some years ago of the British dirigible which made a trip from England to the United States and back 'again, have gone far to prove that the huge lighter than-air craft provide the safest method of trans- oceanic flying. Even in failure, the Graf Zeppelin proved its air- worthiness. On its second attempt to ply across the Atlantic, some of its motors gave way, yet it simply turned around, and although buffeted by a terrific storm, it made its way back in safety to its home port, It requircs no great imagination to predict what would happen to an aeroplane suffering the same mishap while out over the ocean. It would simply go to the bottom with its occupants, Thus it can be safe, with a large degree of assurance, that there is a measure of safety in the dirigible that is absent in the acroplane, and that, over a series of tests, the dirigible is far more sure of reaching its destination than is the heavier-than-air craft. Experiments with dirigibles on long-distance flights have met with uniform success, The logical step now is to put these giant ships into service for communication between the old world and the new, and it is quite safe to predict that this will become an accomplished fact before many months have passed. KEEPING DOLLARS AT HOME That the serious decline in the Canadian wheat crop this year should lcad to a more intensive effort to persuade Canadians to spend their money at home, instead of sending it to the United States for goods manufactured and produced there, is the doctrine which is being preached by the St. Catharines Stan- dard, It is a sound doctrine, too. There is a distinct possibility that the large de- crease in the exportable surplus of Canadian wheat may tend to affect the standing of the Canadian dollar in the New York money market. It is well within the bounds of possibility that, although the Canadian dollar is just as good as that of the United States, it may be placed at a heavy discount, as was the case nine or ten years ago when the Canadian trade balance was very unfavorable to this country. In such a case, there is only one remedy in which the .people of Canada as a whole can take part. That remedy is in spending their money at home, instead of sending it abroad. "This will serve a double purpose. Not only will it help to keep the Canadian dollar closer to par on the New York market, but it will help to offset the losses of the wheat crop by stimulating other lines of industry in this coun- try. - There is so sound a principle involved in this that an active and intensive campaign towards this end would be very timely, PAPER CLOTHES The director of an industrial museum in Chicago is out with 'an announcement that paper suits, with good wearing qualities, can be made for men at a cost of about $2.00 each, These suits, it is claimed, can be made in attractive patterns, can be made to give a reasonable amount of wear, so that it will pay their owners to throw them away when they get tired of them or wear them out, and buy another one. There are wonderful possibilities in an idea of this kind for the lonely bachelor or the summer grass widower, It might even be extended a great deal further. If a serviceable paper suit can be produced for two dollars, why not a paper shirt for ten cents. In these days when laundries charge fifteen cents for returning a shirt to its owner fit to be worn, there would be a great market for the dime paper shirt that could be worn for two or three days and then thrown away to give room for another one. Why, it would mean a cheaper initial investment, and a replacement cost far below that of a laundry. And since the idea might as well be extended to collars, socks, underwear and other articles of mas- culine apparel, there are great possibilities of a.for- tune for the man who can invent something of this kind to sell at the right price. : oy EDITORIAL NOTES Kellogg made a mistake when he did not apply his anti-war. treaty to the Tong groups in his own country, "You can make $100 a week by drawing," says ail advertisement, But lots of people make ten times that amount by drawing--a large crowd, Japan has decided to adopt universal daylight sav- ing time in 1930.

Whether the pool can stand the strain of a hard year remains to he scen.

Persistance of the Toronto Com- munists in defying the police can have but onc ultimate result, and it will not be the winning of a martyr's crown by those who preach revolu- tion, except in the opinion of the Communists themselves. The British system of government is founded on observance of law and order, by choice of the British people, who have dcle- gated to the courts and the police the task of preserving it.

Barton, M.D. WHEN TONSILS SHOULD BE REMOVED Perhaps you wonder why I write about the tonsils so often. It is because, as your family physician will tell you, that tonsils that are large but healthy are some- times removed, whereas tonsils that are dangerous and infective are not disturbed, because they do not ap- pear to be very large. Now, as you know, tonsils were placed in that body of yours to help filter out poisons, and as long as they are doing this they should not be removed. But when a filter gets "filled up," doesn't really filter, but gives out some of its accumulated poisons to the blood, then it is not an asset byt a dangerous liability to the body. In England, there is so much rheumatism and heart disease, that every effort is being made by the government and educational institu- tions to aid physicians to lessen the number of cases, as aside from the suffering endured, these ailments are a great drain on the resources of the country. Rheumatic or heart pa- ients cannot do much physical work. Now as they find that the tonsils are a big factor in causing above ail- ments they are instructing the public as 10 "when" tonsils should be re- moved. Dr. A. Priestman, Folkestone, Eng- land, says that the tonsils should be removed when there is a combination of deafness, mouthbreathing, and constant inflammation of the nose pdssages. Also when there are frequent at- tacks of tonsillitis, When there is a discharging car that will not heal up in a month's time, and where there is no other condition of mouth or teeth that may be causing the trouble. When the tonsils are "pitted" and "baggy" and the child has the white unhealthy appearance due to poison or infection, and is listless and sleepy. : ; Where "common colds" are invari- ably accompanied by deafness. Now it is up to your doctor to say when tonsils should come out, so if you are undecided, perhaps the above suggestions will help you to agree to the operation. It is of course not pleasant to think of your youngster undergoing an operation, but not nearly so un- pleasant as the thought that you may be condemning him to be a chronic invalid from rheumatism or organic heart disease.

CAN BANKERS ASSOCIA- TION, SAYS: THAT in this nation we have gar- nered success like wild rice out of the abundance of nature. The rich- ness of this country has been such that only the most complete lack of management could result in failure. And after each success, we have ex- pressed satisfaction over our good management, when in reality much of our success should have been ac- credited to Divine Providence and good fortune. Men have too fre- quently succeeded out. of the rich- ness of their environment, and then have: congratulated themselves upon their good management, But if there is any lesson to be learned from the studies and surveys which have been made of business in this country in recent years, it is the imperative neces- sity for better management. We have learned that the primary reason for success or failure to- day is not economic conditions-- --mnot envir nor any other ir man- agement. Good management has made enor- mous strides within the past few years, but it still has before it oppor- tunities for major improvements in industry, more important than any we have ever experienced in the past. There are possible refinements in operation, closer budgetary con- trol, standardization of a thousand commodities, simplification of pro- cesses, greater mass production and still *lower costs, faster turnover, more cfficient machinery, and many other possibilities, all of which will bring to industry most gratifying re- turns, with economies and savings heretofore unknown, THESE BENEFITS, MORE- OVER, WILL EXTEND TO THE ULTIMATE CONSUMER, THE PURCHASING POWER OF WHOSE INCOME, AND THE SUM TOTAL OF WHOSE PERMANENT CAPITAL WILL BE INCREASED MANY TIMES. ACROBATIC Toronto, Aug. MOTOR CAR 9.~--Bouncing over a curbing and across a sidewalk, an automobile plunged upside down last night into a seven-foot excavation on Kingston road-----yet none of the four oqcupants was geriously injured, The car was being driven by William H, Crisp, 1408 Gerrard street east. One wheel of the car became caught in the street car rails and the machine was swung across the street and over the sidewalk. Turning over, the car went into an excavation dug for a new building. Crisp and two small - children escaped unhurt, while Mrs, Crisp had one hand slightly crushed, _ i tA A New Advance For Hydro (From the Toronto Globe) Another important stage has been reached by the Ontario Hy. dro-Electric System in the "un- scrambling" of the Central Onta- rio division, a process by which the distribution plants will be' handled to the municipalities as authority is granted by the local electorate. Several of these com- munities have already voted to this end, and Belleville will vote on Thursday next. The Central Onta- rio division of the Hydro is com- posed of the power system purchas- ed by the Ontario Government for the Hydro in '1916 from the Bey- mour Power Company, with devel- opment plant on the Trent River, and serving some fifteen munici- palities. Since the purchase the distribution of power, as well as its generation, has been carried out by the Ontario Hydro. It was always understood that in course of time the municipalities would "be given the chance to make the distribu- tion, as is done in the other divi- sions of the Hydro, and in which some 560 municipalities are now carrying on this local phage of pow- er service. Already Oshawa, Lindsay and Peterboro' in the Central Ontario division have voted to take over distribution, and Belleville is ex- pected to vote to the same ena. 'I'he municipalities concerned will then share in the accumulated assets, amounting to some $15,000,000, paying the actual outlay of the Hy- dro for the purchase and later cap- ital * expenditures," and receiving without cost the surpluses and re serves accumulated since 1916, When the Hydro took over the Seymour System there were imme- diate and substantial reductions in power costs to consumers from the original eight cents per kilowatt hour to prices ranging from three to five cents, according to condi- tions. Despite these reductions, moderate surpluses have been se- cured which will result in further reductions in the cost to power users. The reductions already made have resulted, it 'is estimated, in savings of $1,000,000 to power users in Belleville alone. ' During the campaign in Oshawa for taking over the local plant the officers of the Central Ontario Pow~ er Association said: "It is obvious that, with a surplus at present rates of over $100,000, the pur- chase of the electrical distribution system is a first-class business pro- position." In view of the fact that the surplus of $100,000 was ac- cumulated in 1928, the statement quoted was modest. The Belleville distribution plant, ss was pointed oyt by Mr, C. A. Maguire, Ontario Hydro Commigsioner, in an ad- dress at the opening of the cam- paign, stands in the Hydro books at $240,000, but as there is a sur- plus of $66,000, the plant is being offered to Belleville for $187,000, including allowance of some $14, 000 for stores, equipment, ete, This is the sort of careful financing that makes friends for the Hydro, and makes it almost beyond doubt that Belleville will purchase the plant, Although no mention has been made as to changes in rural rates, it will be recalled that last year the Ontario Hydro distributed $165,000 in refund of surpluses to 11,000 farmer power users in the Province. As a result of the "unscrambi- ing" and the further development of power on a larger scale in Cen- tral Ontario the Hydro:will be in a sounder position as a unit tlan ever before, It is now covering a large part of the Province, ard it is intended to operate the various divisions in greater harmony than previously. It is found, by long experience, that the peak in power demand varies in different sections, For instance, Windgor may want extra power this month by reason of some industrial condition, while next month the extra demand may come from Oshawa. It is planned that when all the systems are prop- erly linked up the surplus may be switched from one system to an- other where it is more urgently needed; always, however, making sure that local needs have first consideration, Continued improve- ments in the mechanism for trans- mission of electricity makes this change possible and illustrates the adpatability and progressiveness of the whole Hydro enterprise. CORNER SUSPECTED IN MARCONI STOCK Investigation Asked Into Dif- ference in Prices in London and U.S. New York, Aug. 9.--Investigation into dealings on the curb in stock of Marconi International Marine Communications Co, Ltd, an Eng- lish company, revealed yesterday when members of the curb exchange received letters from E. R. Tappen; secretary of the exchange, asking for complete details of transactions im the stock. The investigation is prompted by the large difference in prices on the stock here and in London. On the curb today depository receipts for ordinary registered £1 par shares of the company sold as high as 373%, closing at 36%. In London shares are quoted at $15. Ordinarily, ar- bitrating operations would bring the two markets to an equal price level, but the company has restricted Am- erjcan ownership in the company tol 249,454 shares out of a 1,192,728 outstanding. This restriction prevents the flow of stock between the two countries and makes for differences in price levels, Opinion in Wall street is that short interests in the stock have been squeezed because of the limited number of shares available in the American market and have had to pay high prices as a result. Suspicions of a corner in the stock have been aroused because of the unusually large turnover of the stock. If circumstances exist which prevent a free and open market in the stock, the curb can remove the shares from listing. Frank T. Stanton, specialist in radio securities, who introduced the stock to the American market at about $21 and who has been active in sponsoring the stock, denied that a corner existed, blaming the price discrepancy on the small amount of stock in the market. According to Stanton, speculators sold short when they noted the price difference, but were blocked by the action of the Marconi company in restricting Am- erican ownership. Hence, they have had to pay high prices to cover their short selling. total of If you would have a faithful ser- vant, and one that you like, serve RELATE HORRORS OF FASCIST PRISON Top mi Eire Paris, Aug. 9--Eluding the 400 guards tre Italian government places on the Isle of Lipari to watch Fascist prisoners and swimming half a mile to a prearranged boat, three victims of the Mussolini regime arrived in Paris today after their sensational escape from the political Devil's Is land of the Fascists, The three aye Francesco Nitti, nephew of the former Italian prem. fer; Carlo Roselli, former professor of political economy at the Genoa institute, and Emilio Lussu, a war hero who was decorated by the Ital jan government four times. The Lipari Islands, to which Mus. solini banishes his political oppon- ents, are fever haunted and the 900 prisoners are so carefully guarded, escape was considered impossible, The stories the three related about the islands and prison life were said to be especially revealing of the tac tics used by Mussolini to rid [taly, of those who differ with him politic. ally. Paris newspapers carried full ac. counts of Roselli's story, which cove, ered 18 months of planning by the three and their final successful man- ceuvres for freedom. By watching 'the habits of the guards, Roselli said, and patterning their own lives along lines of monotonous regularity, they finally achieved what they wished, a relaxation of vigilance, The three report that they and other political prisoners were com- pelled to mix with thie worst type of criminals and were allowed only the equivalent of 50 cents a day for liv- ing expenses. The only water for drinking 'was rain water, they said, Roselli and Lussu had been on the island 20 months.
