REPRESENTATIVES IN U. 8. : Powers and Stene, nes New York aad Chicago. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1929 THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL'S VISIT will be taken by the citizens of it to Oshawa of His governor-general of Keen interest 3 A Oshawa in the fortheaming 9 v Viscount Willingdon, c Som l it is. announced, will be in the yy for an official visit, on Monday September 16, ince he came to Canada in 1927 to be the Jepresentative in this Dominion of His Majesty the King, Viscount Willingdon, by his genuine efforts to acquire a keen knowledge of the problems of the Canadian people, achieved a high pressure of popularity. Although representative of the ruling monarch, he has, y his fine personality brought about a democratic con- tact with all phases of Canadian life, and has thus made himself a very acceptable governor-general. Oshawa's welcome to Viscount Willingdon should be a wholée-hearted one, This is a loyal and patri- otic community, and he should be accorded a recep- tion on a par with that which would be given to the King he represents. It will be necessary, of course, to organize the program for the day, and in making the necessary arrangements, no class in the com- munity should be overlooked. The city council would do well to call into consultation organizations which are truly representative of the life of the community, so that when the governor-general arrives here on September 16, he will feel that the entire city is taking part in the welcome accorded to him. NOTHING WRONG HERE Those people of a pessimistic turn of mind who profess to scc signs of bad times in Oshawa will find cold comfort in the building figures for the first eight 'months of this year. A city which in cight motiths can embark on construction projects of close to $1,000,000 can hardly be said to be in a state of stagnation. And therc arc a sufficient number of projects still mooted for the rest of the ycar to swell that figure by a large amount. Wherever there is a large amount of building con- struction, and particularly the construction of dwell- ing houses; there is growth and development, In fact, the chief feature of the building program of this year has been the large number of dwelling houses erected in the city. That is a sign that therc is a growing measure of stability in Oshawa, and that its people have an abiding faith in its future, And so long as these factors remain in the forefront of construction activity in the city, there is little to be feared for the days to come. A MUCH USED INSTITUTION The report of the public library of Oshawa, which appears in today's issue of The Times, is evidence that this institution is filling the place it is meant to occupy in the life Oshawa. Its record for the first cight months is a remarkable one, for in that period it has placed in circulation more books.than for the whole twelve months of last year. This is an indi- cation of the ever-growing usefulness of the library to the people of Oshawa. It is particularly encouraging, too, to note that the juvenile section of the population is makiing a good use of the library facilities afforded for them. The reading of good books is an essential and im- portant part of cdueation, and through the library, the children have a splendid opportunity to make their acquaintance. Oshawa has, 'whether rightly or not, acquired something of a reputation of being too busy with in- dustrialism to pay much attention to things of a cul- 'tural nature. The extent to which the library is being used, however, is proof that there is a development of culture going on in this city, {or rcading is ouc of the avenucs through which people can gain a higher understanding of the finer things of life, The library is performing a uscful function, and, judging by the tremendous increase in the distribu- tion of books through this channel, it is being greatly appreciated by the citizens as a whole. A COUNTY TO BE PROUD OF The farmers of that section of Ontario county which surrounds Oshawa have every reason to be proud of the showing which their representatives are making in many of the competition classes at the Canadian National Exhibition. While there are somé counties which may make a better showing than On- tario in onc particular branch of agriculture, it is doubtful if any county can show a more balanced * record of success in competition with the best which Ontario has to offer. v This contention is borne out by an examination of the C. N, E. prize lists, Practically all of the first . and other prizes.in the grain classes came to the county or the immediate vicinity. In the shéep competitions, On- tatio county breeders topped the lists for the pro- vince, Clydesdale horses, competing with the best in the Dominion brought a4 further list of first prizes awards to Ontario county. And in dairy cattle not a few prizes also came to this dis- trict. Added to this list of successes must be the win- nings '6f the splendid horses from the Parkwood Stables of Oshawa, owned by R. S. McLaughlin, who is thus making a splendid contribution to the fame of 'the district for the finest quality of live stock. Ofitario county has every reason to be proud of this showing, since it proves that the diversified. type of agriculture to be found in this district can be fol- lowed with the maximum of success, Some of the counties of the provinces are famous for dairying, others for the raising of either lard or bacon type hogs, others for tobacco, and others for some other single branch of agriculture, but in the whole length and 'breadth of Ontario it will be difficult to find a county which has so well-balanced a type of agricul- ture as is to be found in Ontario county. THE BIG PROBLEM IN JUVENILE DELINQUENCY One of the results of the establishment of a juve- nile court in the eity of Oshawa is that it has awak- cned a new interest in the problems of juvenile de- linquenicy in the minds of many of the prominent citizens of the community, That interest has been aroused to some extent, by the addresses given by the juvenile court judge, the Rev. S, C, Jarrett, who yesterday addressed the Oshawa Kiwanis Club, and who, some time ago, also spoke to the Rotary Club on that subject. Oshawa is learning a great deal about juvenile de- linquency through Judge Jarrett, and it is significant that he sces the greatest problem in this connection in the home environment which is responsible for children falling into error. beat about the bush in speaking of this factor in de- linquency. - He comes right out and: declares that the majority of the boys who come before the court come from homes, "where the environment is not fit for a pig to live under." Further, he says that it is a marvel that these boys were not merely delin- quents, but that they were not absolute criminals, This is a scrious problem, but one which must be faced in some way or another if hundreds of young lives are to be kept on the right path, Where such conditions exist, a change of environment is a prim- ary necessity, It is unfortunate that there are par- ents who are careless and neglectful of the welfare of their children, and who are indifferent as to how late they may wander the streets at night, or as to what trouble they may be courting while away from home. Yet the condition apparently does exist, and it requires courageous handling. It is not an easy matter to provide the new en- vironment that is necessary in many cases. Some- times this can be accomplished through the kindly interest of a "big brother" who is willing to see that the boy is given a chance; sometimes by finding for him employment mn wholesome and clevating en- vironment. Work of this kind, however, must be undertaken on an organized basis if it is to be really effective, and the service clubs of Oshawa have; in the solving of this big problem, an excellent oppor- tunity for putting into practical form the principles of community service for which they stand. THE SANITY OF LABOR. The re-election of Tom Moore as president of the Trades and Labor Congress for the eleventh year is more than a tribute to the high place which Mr. Moore holds in the hearts and minds of the rank and file of the legitimate labor move ment in this country. It is just as much a tribute to the sanity of organized labor in this country. During the last ten years, under Mr. Moore's leadership, the Trades and Labor Congress of Canada has come to be a very useful an] level- headed body. Its counsels are sought by provin- cial and dominion governments in considering problems peculiar to the working classes in this country, and much of the finest social legislation on the statute books of this country is there be- cause of the efforts of the labor movement. More important still is the fact that Commun- ism has been unable to make any progress in this country because of the sanity of the viewpoint held by Mr. Moore and. his colleagues of the Trades and Labor Congress. Every effort of the Red element to raise its head in that body has been firmly but forcefully stamped down, with the result that it is a safe and sane labor body, which has not yielded in any respect to Com- munistic influences. Canada is fortunate in having its erganized la- bor movement under the guidance of such lead-. ers. So long as the principles now actuating the movement prevail, it will continue to serve a use- ful purpose to the workers of Canada and their families, and, at the same time, to the country as a whole.

Barton, M.D. to WHINING AND COMPLAINING A woman discussing a mutual ae- quaintance with a friend said, "I like Mrs. Blank all right, but she gets on my nerves with her constant com- plaining. I hate a "whining" woman. How Mr. Blank puts up with her and yond me." Now this whining business is not confined to women; it is often a part of the make up of many men. The cause of this whining or con- stant complaining can usually be put down to one of two things. First, the way the individual was allowed to develop in the home, or to the fact that the individual is al- ways tired. Youngsters who are not very ro- bust physically, who have had hu- merous childhood ailments during which they are petted or pitied, con- tinue to look for this pity and pet- ting when they grow up. They look for it and if it is not forthcoming, or even if it is forthcoming, com- plain or whine just the same. It has become a part of them. However there are other individ- uals who whine or'complain who may have some underlying reason for it. And this reason is usually fatigue, either physical or mental. As you know every physical ae- tion, every mental action, thinking, worrying, studying and so forth-- takes oxygen from the blood and gives back carbon dioxide. If there is a continual physical or mental exertion then the amount of carbon dioxide and other wastes be- come so abundant in the blood, that the individual is really in a poisoned condition: This makes him irritable and ev- ery effort 4 burden. It makes him whine or complain. Any little infection from bad teeth or tonsils, or a slow moving intes- tine, acts upon the individual in the same way. Where the individual was not ori- ginally a whiner, but becomes one, it is only fair that he or she get an overhauling from the family physi- cian to find out if there is any cause for the tiredness, that causes the whining. Often the regulation of the diet and the intestinal habit, with a daily rest of a few. minutes at 11 and 4 o'clock will be sufficient to get rid of this tendengy to complain or whine.

Adams, publisher of the Montrose (Colo) Press, says: "Did you ever stop to think that the newspaper in a com- munity--in every community where a newspaper exists and is part of its life----stands in a peculiar position with respect to the development and pro- gress of that community? If you do not, let me give you my idea of what a newspaper owes to its community as a community builder. "A newspaper has the inherent right to become the community leader and builder. If its editor does not take advantage of the op- portunity handed to him to accept the responsibility, he is certainly asleep at the switch, "The newspaper is not only the mirror of the community, but is the vital heart throb of the community. The news. paper should be the leader in all community activities. It should make itself in such de- mand as to be called upon to lead in every community en- terprise. This - demand will come to ite--the community will come to it first--when the cditor shows a willingness and an interest in being help- ful. "There are a hundred ways in which the newspaper can show its eagerness to he of seivice, which need not be mentioned, vet which will suggest themselves to any editor as the opportunity presents who is even half alive from his chin up. 'To be in readiness to scize this responsibility and oppor- tunity, the editor must be en terprising himself; he must conduct a newspaper that is active and alert; he must edit a newspaper that is printed in a clean and attractive news- paper printing factory; he must attend gatherings of newspaer men and drink from the overflowing fountain of newspaper and business wis. dom that flows from such meetings or conferences.'

A SARE PLACE FOR SAVINGS DAIRY FARMERS HIT BY DROUGHT Northern Peterboro Town- ships Burned Up--Water Supply Scarce Peterboro, Sept. 4--The driest August in years has virtually burn- ed up vegetation in a large sec- tion of the northern townships ot Peterboro county with serious losses to the farmers and ranchers. Grass is crisp; ponds and wells are dry. Farmers have to draw water for their stock at a great incon- venience and the outlook for many of the residents is decidedly dis- couraging. : The summer has been very dry and recent weeks have been get- ting steadily worse. The leaves on the trees are wilted and crisping. All up" the Bobcaygeon road to Nogles creek and easterly, are evidences of excessive drought. G. A. Gillespie, president of the Peterboro Milk Products company, said that the supply of milk had been reduced 50 per cent in the last ten days. The dairy industry has already felt the effects of the local drought, and it is altogether like- ly that the production of cheese will be considerably reduced for late August and early September. EXHIBITION CHORUS APPLAUDED HEARTILY Toronto, Sept. 4.--The size and the applause of the audience that attended the Canadian National Ex- hibition chorus' concert .in the Coliseum last night testified to the popularity of that feature of the program of the fair. The concert was the third of the series of four that the great chorus is giving, under the direction of Dr. H. A. Fricker, during. the course of the fair. Yet the event attracted an audience large enough to fill all but a few of the seats in the huge auditofium, The audience showed warm ap- preciation of the stately Handel motet, "Zadok the Priest,"" which was performed in commemoration IT'S A LUXURY NOW (Christian Science Monitor) What with airplanes attaining a speed of 320 miles an hour and au- tomobiles whizzing along at sixty and seventy, motorboats skimming the waves like a flash of light, how long it is going to be before a nice quiet stroll is going to be a luxury? MISSION OF A NEWSPAPER (Christian Science Monitor) "A newspaper's highest mission," said Louis I. Jaffe, editor of the Vir- ginian-Pilot, in addressing the In- stitute of Public Affairs, in Char- lottesville, Va., "is not to give the public what is relished and smirk- ed over by the readers of low- est mentality, but rather to pre- sent what is enjoyed and welcomed | | by readers of more than average in- telligence and discrimination." . It can harding be denied that a general adoption of this ideal would lift the thought of newspaper readers to a higher level. He was spending his first term at a boarding school, and his parents anxiously awaited the arrival of his first letter.
