TUESDAY, AUGUST 13, 1929 nt OSHAWA'S INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION Although a trifle belated, the report of . industrial production for Ontario in 1927, as issued a"day or two ago by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, makes an interesting study. It.is no small honor that Osh- awa should stand third in the province for the\vol- ume of its manufactured products. Only Toronto and Hamilton, both of them places many times the size of Oshawa, stand ahead of this city, while further down the list are cities like Ottawa, London, Kit- "chener and Brantford, all of them much larger in population than Oshawa. This would indicate that, for its population, Osh- awa is producing more goods per capita than any other city in Ontario, Toronto, with a' population of at least 600,000, to place the most favorable light on the situation for that city as possible, had a per capita production of about $900. Placing Hamilton's population at 130,000, its per capita output would be about $1,170. But Oshawa, with a population of be- tween 25,000 and 26,000, produced goods to the value of roughly $77,000,000, or about $3,000 per capita, And Oshawa, with less than one per cent of the population of the province, produced five per cent of its manufactured goods. These figures go to show the splendid position of this city industrially. It may be true that there is a slight depression in some industries at present, but, the law of averages is bound to prevail in the end, and Oshawa will, in future years, be able to main- tain its proud position of being the greatest pro- ducer of industrial products, per capita, of all the cities in Ontario. Another interesting and significant feature is found in the analysis of Oshawa's manufactured products. Qf the $77,000,000 worth of goods produced, over $71,000,000 were produced by firms manufacturing iron and steel products, The balance of about $6,- 000,000 was spread over all the other groups of in- dustries. This analysis bears out what has previously been said in these columns, that what Oshawa needs to build up its industrial fabric in a safe and sensible way is a diversification of industry, which will spread employment over several branches of manufacturing, instead of having the bulk of it concentrated in onc line of industry. Although the report is a year and a half behind time in being published, for such reports take a 'Jong time to compile, it is, nevertheless, valuable as an index to the position which this city occupies and will continue to occupy in the industrial world of the province of Ontario. ¥) AN IMPROVEMENT COMING The address made by R. S. McLaughlin, president of the General Motors of Canada, Limited, at the pienic- on Saturday was encouraging to the employ- ees and to the citizens at large. It frankly admitted that conditions had not been as good in the last few weeks as had been anticipated at the beginning of the year, but it went further than that, and held out the hope for an early betterment, with all that means to the people of Oshawa. As Mr, McLaughlin. indicated in his speech, con- ditions beyond the control of anyone have been re- sponsible for the seasonal slump of 1929 being more severe than usual, The crop failure in the west, coupled with the low prices for wheat which pre- vailed earlier in the season, was bound to have a temporary depressing cffcct on all lines of manu- facturing industry, and particularly on the automo- bile industry. slump in productiofe There is every reason to believe, however, that the western crop condition will be much better than was at first reported, and that, with the higher wheat 'prices, there will be just as much money available in the west as there was with the record crop of last year. Each successive week sees a sharp' rise in the estimate of the crop, with the government's last estimate standing at 330,000,000 bushels. At an average price of $1.50 a bushel, which is less than - the anticipated value, the crop would be worth close to $500,000,000, while last year's crap is rcported to have netted the farmers $477,000,000. 1t will thus be scen that western conditions will not be quite as bad as many people have been led to believe, and this should lead to a revival in industry, The assurange that the exccutives of the com- pany were doing everything possible to better con- ditions will be welcome. There is aw absurd idea abroad that those in high places sit back with little thought .as to the welfare of the employces. That ilea, of course, is ridiculous, for it is impossible for , factory of any kind to earn dividends' while its ~heels are 'idle, and that is the last thing desired by the heads of any concern. Mr. McLaughlin's assurance should dispel that unfortunate impression, and should do -wuch to put fresh heart into the workers who have been suffering from the unusual 2 mi ------ LR I -------------- a ---- 'THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, 'TUESDAY, AUGUST +3, 1929 - AN UNUSUAL OCCURRENCE The carthquake shock which visited Oshawa, in common with other Ontario points, on Monday morning, was not severe enough to' cause any dam- age, but it was sufficiently unusual to cause much comment; and to startle many people who felt its effects. The' province of Ontario is not subject to such visitations to any extent, for it is five years 'since the last occurrence' of this kind, and many years before that since the previous one. That is why it aroused, so much attention, and also why many people of this city and district imagined that an, explosion had occurred, It is interesting to note, however, that in the opin- ion of geologists and engineers, there was a time .in the pre-historic days when Ontario was subject to very severe. earthquakes. For instance, the great escarpments' at' Niagara Falls, at the Hamilton moun- ' tain and at Dundas, are known to have been created by the. action of earthquakes. These earthquakes were not of volcanic action, but were caused rather through contractions and faults of the carth's sur face, which made huge sections of Ontario simply slip down into space. - It would be interesting to know, if it were possible, just how the district that is now the province of Ontario shook when the great earthquakes occurred. If Monday's earthquake, which did no damage, was distinctly felt practically all over the province and a large portion of the United States, it is almost beyond imagination to conceive of the tremor which would result from a sudden collapse of a great sec- tion of country into a hole between three and four hundred feet deep. THE PEACE GARDEN ------ The proposal of the International Association of Gardeners, a body which embraces both Canadian and United States members, made at its annual con- vention in Toronto, that a great garden, dedicated to the cause of peace between Canada and the United States, be created on the borders of the two coun- tries, will strike a responsive chord in the minds of most people who read.of it. Already it has aroused much favorable comment, and the practical response, in the way of contributions towards the trees, shrubs and plants which would aflorn such a gathering, has been splendid. No two countries in the modern world can point, as can Canada and the United States, to a frontier over three thousand miles long, without the sembl- ance of protective armaments, and which has not been violated in a hostile way for well over one hun- dred years. This example of two nations living in peaceful and friendly relationships with each other is a model for the rest of the world, and it is worthy of being commemorated in a manner both symbolical and beautiful, The original of this idea, H. G. Moore, the presi- dent of the association, has given to the garden- , lovers of Canada and the United States an. inspiring cause for which to work. It is sincerely to be hoped that the international garden will be realized, for such a beauty spot would be an inspiration to all who visited it, and, by the joint interest in it, would help to still more firmly cement the bonds of friend- ship between the two great nations which live side by side on this continent. "THE NEW EGYPTIAN TREATY There is a surprising tendency on the part of the British press to' withhold judgment on the new treaty which the Labor government proposes to make with Egypt, giving that country a free status, and removing it from the military oversight of Great Britain. Bitter political opponents of the govern- ment, of course, aré to bé found condemning it, just as they would condemn anything which emanated from the Labor party. It is significant, however, that those who know most about the situation are inclined to support the Labor government's action, irrespective of what their political leanings may be. An outstanding example of this is to be found in the attitude of Sir Austen Chamberlain, who, as foreign minister in the Bald- win government, has every opportunity for studying the Egyptian situation. Sir Austen, a Conservative of Conservatives, had little comment to make on the tteaty, but.it was a significant comment. "I am wholly in favor of such a treaty," was his remark. Whatever critics of the government may have to say in opposition to its Egyptian policy, one can, feel assured that there is nothing much wrong with it when it wins the ap" proval of so strong a member of the opposition as Sir Austen Chamberlain. EDITORIAL NOTES Snowden's policy dt tlie Hague sliggests that Bri. tain is tired of playing Santa Claus for the rest of the world. , Now that the lake levels are receding again, it is time to start a new campaign against the Chicago water diversion. Snowden will become a real hero in the eyes of the British people if he can make any impression on France and Italy. Premier King says"he is enjoying his busy sum- mer's work. The man who enjoys his work usually makes a success of it. 3 It will be interesting to observe if the record apple crop in Eastern Ontario will make apples any cheaper in the Oshawa corner stores. Paris designers are unanimous in declaring that skirts must be longer. But it will not be s0 easy to persuade the ladies to agree with them. The Hamilton Herald is tosbe congratulated on celebrating its fortieth anniversary, and on the spe- cial edition which it issued to mark the occasion. A story from Sault Ste. Marie tells of a man catch- ing a three pound trout with his bare hands. Now watch these editors accept Jim Curran's invitation. The money which Ontario is spending on liguor would go a long way towards keeping many ef the old age pensions applicants in comfort for a few Years. > A man who was so crippled that he required a crutch to walk has been declared by a jury to have been under the influence of liguor when he was driving a car which killed a 'woman. It would be interesting to know just how he secured his driving permit, PEE SPR § v EA. THE TAXPAYER Truth (Londgn) What 'it seems impossible to drive thinking manual workers is that the taxpayer is all of them; and that though it may look as if the faxes were paid only by the very small class who are assessed for income ax, in reality these direct payments to So- merset House are thrown back upon and shared by those who work with their hands, and who are called by politicians the nation. A MENACE MORE SERIOUS (Financial Post) nada deservedly is getting a great deal of gttention the lack of rain and 'human tarelessness have created a much more serious situation in the Northland, A destroyed crop is a twelve-month evil; a forest fire is a permanent loss, since decades are re- quired to replace forest wealth, The combatting of forest fires is becom- ing more skilled and the facilities for the wark constantly are being im: proved, But' the nation has a long way to go before the avoidable de- struction' of forests is ended. i TAKING STOCK (Vancouver * Province) Had the United States been con- tent to leave well enough alone, Ca- nadians might have gone on for- cver, buying where they liked to buy and where they found it' most con- venient and paying little heed to the economic side of their purchases. But the action of the House of Congress at Washington is compelling people on this side of the line to take stock of the situation, and if, in taking stock they find that they Jiave been needlessly improvident and foolishly extravagant in their purchases from their neighbor, well that good neigh- bor has only himself to blame. FEAR (Atlantic Monthly, Boston) (By "One Who Has Felt It") The laws which govern the behav- iour of psychic terror have little cor- respondence with those which affect the want of physical courage or of what is called moral courage. Physi- cal and moral cowardice are genunic- ly alike, on a lower and a higher plane. They are simply ficit in respect to a quality, bravciy, which can be cultivated, as all soldiers and all saints have cultivated it; Both are amenable to reason and to ¢x- perience. If you are afraid of "somc- thing," it is always open to you to behave as if you were not--to do which is bravery--...but to be afraid of "nothing" is a vice without any corresponding virtue, a disease with- out a treatment. The fear which is of the soul; not of the body or the mind, is a weakness against which there is no type of strength open to cultiva- tion, - Bits of Humor + Doctor--Well, my friend, what scems to be your trouble?

Barton, M.D. INFECTION MORE SERIOUS THAN EFFORT When you read about the Boston or other Marathon races ahd remem- ber that the course takes in stretches of paved, unpaved, and hilly roads, You wonder just what effect such a grind will have on the hearts of these runners, You perhaps have visions of these men in days to come as broken in health, and getting about in a most careful manner owing to the serious condition of the heart, Do you know that one infected tooth in your mouth can cause more serious disturbance and more real danger to life than the running of this long Marathon race, In fact these runners are all trained to run these distances, Three research men mde X-ray studies of a group of long distance runners to determine the effect of prolonged effort on the heart and lungs, bones and blood vessels, In thirteen runners the hearts ap- peared to be definitely smaller than normal; in five runners the hearts were within normal limits, only one heart was really increased in size. The conclusion is that long dis- tance running had really no harm- ful effect upon the heart. So don't worry about these long distance 'runners, unless they are still in their teens. But what you should think about from the heart standpoint is whe- ther or not you have anything that might lead to an inflammation of the lining of the heart, or that might affect the muscular walls of the heart, Infected teeth, tonsils, sinuses, gall bladder or intestine can do either of these things, so you should see that such infection is removed. Also no matter what illness you have, if you have had to go to bed at all, your heart has had to do extra work, and gets tired, thus losing some of its reserve power. If you get up and about too soon y n much more danger of dam- aging your heart than do these long distance runners who run from ten to twenty-five miles, some. of which is up hard hills, And remember, as has been men- tioned before, exercise, walking for instance, will keep your heart in shape.

Lord Pentland explained he had in mind a central farm and the va- rious groups would work from it. He was greatly impressed with the progress made by the Clandonald colony. Before returning home he will make a tour of the Peace Riv- er country.

Tom Creighton, one of the discoverers of the Flin Flon mine and E. Humble, mechanic, accompan- ied "Duke" on the trip to the far north. : while searchers scoured the barren lands in search of the Schiller plane yesterday, Miss May Beltee, local secretary for Creighton, received the message: "Arrived at Baker Lake," it said, but there was no explanation for the delay in the plane's arrival at the far northeru destination. It is presumed, however, that in the flight from Wager bay, 80 miles north of Chesterfield inlet, to Baker lake, the plane was forced down, and that it has taken Schiller the intervening two. weeks to put his machine in shape.
