PAGE FOUR THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1929 | The @shatoa Baily Times THE OSHAWA DAILY REFORMER ¥ xo (Established 1871) tured in this city, and to the assistance which. the people of Oshawa could give to local industries by purchasing their products, wherever possible, in pre- ference to articles manufactured elsewhere, The carrying out of this principle, of course, is simply a type of practical civic loyalty, an expression of a determination on the part of every citizen to do his or her sare to promote the. prosperity of the com- munity in which he or she lives. Civic loyalty, however, calls for even more than that in the line of purchases. With the city of Osh- awa in such proximity to the largest city in the pro- vince, there is an undoubted temptation to many people tg go there to buy things which could be just ag casily purchased in the stores of their own. city, There is a very mistaken impression in the minds of too many people that they can purchase to better advantage glsewhere than in their own home stores.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1929 OSHAWA AS A SPORTS CENTRE Since it became a city, Oshawa has achieved con- siderable prominence as a centre of sporting activity. It should be remarked, of course, that even in the old days, this community had a high reputation for its athletic achievements, but the last year or two have given the city higher provincial and, now, do- minion honors than can be dug out of the annals of the past. In rugby and' lacrosse, the city's repre- sentative teams have won the highest laurels, and have placed Oshawa on a pinnacle of sporting im- portance. . This condition is being reflected in more ways than one. There has been a remarkable revival in many lines of sporting activity. This has found its ex- pression in the many softball leagues, the soccer football and cricket activity, in the many teams seck- ing an opportunity to play lacrosse, and in other ways, The most pleasing feature, however, is to be' found in the large number participating in sports of a re- creational character. Sports lose much of their value to those who are simply spectators, but who do not take any part as active participants. Great Britain has an cnviable reputation for sports and athletics, and that has becn achieved because of the provision 2 made in even the smallest. communities for playing fields of sufficient scope to permit of community wide recrcation. The test of the value of sports should be, not the size of the crowds attending games, but the number, actually taking part and securing the benefits of participation, There is not much value to the recreational side of sport in having thousands of people watch cigh- teen, or twenty-two, or twenty-four highly skilled athletes perform. The value comes in having thou- sands of people playing games, and sports today are: organized so that there are games in which men in or past middle life can take part with just as much zest as the younger men. The aim of the authorities of Oshawa, and of every other city, should be to provide sufficient playing ground space to ac- commodate all the sporting organizations which may be mooted, so that ever-increasing numbers may be able to take part in, and obtain direct benefits from, the games of their choice. AEROPLANE INDUSTRIES One of the lines of industry in which there is much hope for considerable future development is the acroplane industry. From the standpoint of pro- duction, "that industry is already in its infancy, and it is in something like the same condition as the automobile industry was in 1900, At that time, there were few people who could foresee the tremendous growth in the manufacture and use of automobiles, both for pleasure and commercial purposes. It is the same today with the aeroplane industry. No one can guage the extent of its future expansion, except to predict that it has great possibilities for almost as rapid development as the automobile industry. For this reason, it is interesting to note that there is a strong report that an aeroplane company has purchased some land near Whitby for the purpose of establishing an aeroplane industry. It may, of course, be only a rumor, but yet it is interesting, since it shows the direction in which people's minds are travelling. : 'Plie aeroplarfe industry is one type of industry for which Oshawa has admirable facilities, With the new harbor work likely to be started in a few weeks time, and a large area suitable for flying purposes adjacent to the harbor area, conditions at the Oshawa lakefront are ideal for both aeroplane and seaplane production. And along the lake shore between Osh- awa and Whitby there is an abundance of land suit- able for the establishment of aeroplane factories, be- cause they can casily be utilized for the purposes of flying fields. Many cities of Ontario have established flying fields, and there is a strong possibility that in the near future Oshawa will do likewise. This city, however, should not be satisfied with merely having a flying field. Linked with it, there should be aeroplane in- dustries, if these can possibly be persuaded that the facilities in this city are sufficiently attractive. It * should be the constant effort of both the chamber of commerce and the city council industrial commit- tee to thoroughly explore the possibilities of attract- ing "industries of this kind, since they carry untold possibilities for future development and expansion, and are particularly suited to the conditions which exist in this community, both as to location and as to the type of labor supply which is available. CIVIC LOYALTY In last night's editorial columns, The Times. made reference to the wide range of products manufac has been proven, times without number, that money can be made to go farther, and to buy goods of bet- ter quality at a lower price, in the Oshawa stores than through the big mail order houses. In this matter, however, the lack of civic loyalty is at the root of the evil of shopping away from home. Teo many. people forget that the men in business in the city make a definite contribution to its welfare, while outside concerns make no contribution at all The local merchants pay taxes, and they pay out "large sums of money in salaries to their employees. All of this has a direct benefit to every person living in the community, and should be taken into consid- eration jn the expenditure of money for both the necessities and the luxuries of life. If a slogan of "Buy in Oshawa First" could be generally adopted in the city, and made to mean something, it would have a very great effect in stimulating the business of the city, and would bring benefits to those who are spending the money as well as those who have goods to sell. . KICKED OUT OF OFFICE After three months of delay, the government in Saskatchewan has been kicked out of office by the opposition forces, and a new government will take its place. Thus ends one of the greatest farces ever perpetrated in any province of Canada. It was known, within a few days of the Saskatchewan pro- vincial election of about three months ago, that the government was defeated, The Conservatives had secured a sufficient amount of Progressive support to overthrow the government, The party in power knew this for a certainty. Its leaders were well aware of the alignment of the elected members, and knew that it could not survive the first division in the house. . Knowing this, the logical ¢ourse would have been for the government to resign. That is what would have been done in ninety-nine cases out of an hund- red under similar circumstances. Yet the Saskatch- ewan premier and "his followers were too fond of office to give it up easily, so they clung to it for three months more before letting the reins of power go into the hands to which they belonged. Such tactics are entirely foreign to all the ac- cepted traditions of British democratic government. It can hardly be said that the course of the Liberal government was a dignified one, and it may yet have its effect on the future of the party in Saskatchewan. It would have been far more graceful for the gov- ernment to have resigned as soon as the election re- sult became known beyond reasonable doubt, instead of waiting until the session was opened to be kicked out of office, SIGNBOARDS ALONG THE HIGHWAYS The nation-wide movement to ban unsightly billboards from the highways of Canada is gain- ing in momentum. Quebec was the first of the provinces to put legislation into effect forbidding these signboards from marring the natural beauty of the landscape, and New Brunswick was not long in following suit. Now the movement has spread to the west, and British Columbia has just put into operation legislation following the lead of these two eastern provinces. Unfortunately, in moving westward, the move- ment skipped right over the head of Ontario. It has long been urged by many public bodies in Ontario, as well as by nearly every newspaper in - the province, that the highways should be cleared of the signboards which are to be seen everywhere along the main roads, This province suffers to a far greater extent than any other from these atrocities, whcih blot out the most beautiful of the natural scenic places of the province from the eyes of tourists who come here seeking beauty. They have become so great a nuisance that public opinion will eventually force their removal, the only necessity being that the government will have sufficient backbone to pass such legislation and make it effective. EDITORIAL NOTES One of the troubles from which it is hardest to recover is that of being born poor. Cold baths are said to prolong life. Tn that case, some of the Marathon swimmers should live for ever. It may only be a coincidence, but the backseat driver in a car seldom knows anything about chang- ing a tire. The worth-while daughter nowadays is the one who knows more about the use of baking powder than of face powder. Mussolini has resigned from one of his numerous posts. But he still has more than enough of them to give him a majority in the cabinet. Thanksgiving is the next holiday, and in spite of the Western crop failure, Canada has enough reason for thankfulness to make it a real celebration, One can now understand why the Central Conser- vative Association in Toronto was so anxious to make an appeal for party funds in the carly part of this year. Newfoundland, having secured Labrador, is now in the same position as the Bowmanville man who did not own a sar, but who wen a set of tires at the Rotary Club Carnival. It is reported that Oshawa stores arc laying in a large supply of brooms in anticipation of the glorious parade with which the Dominion championship la- crosse team will be welcomed home, crime on the public ' : CANADIAN AGRICULTURE (La Presse) We should be able to sell ten times as much bacon in the British market, instead of letting New Zealand and Denmark get ahead of us. Is there any explanation why we should not be dispatching more than forty million pounds of bacon to Britain, when nine years ago we were exporting 245 million pounds? It is true that domestic consumption, intensified by the growing tourist trade, hag increas- ed enormously, but surely this is only one more reason why we should develop this lucrative indus- try in proportion. roads. BURN BRITISH COAL (La Patrie) Scotch and Welsh anthracite are already considered on our markets to be of better qualty than the American product. This is so true that in a few years its consumption has reached a high figure, although the price demanded of the consum- er is higher than for American coal.

Sept. 6--~Over- head expenses for the operation of the government-owned merchant ma- rine are expected by the merchant fleet corporation to be reduced by half during the coming fiscal year. The saving will be attributable to the sale of established government ship- ping lines to private owners and a consequent curtailment of personnel of the corporation, which operates the government vessels. For the present fiscal year, approx- imately $12,000,000 was appropriated bv congress for its overhead. Its of- ficers are now working out estimates for the next fiscal year which indi- cate about $6,000,000 will be required. During the last eight months, the! shipping board has disposed of six cf the twenty-four lines, including the United States Line and the American Merchant Line, which the corpora- tion operated. The sale of these lines brought about a saving to the cor- poration of nearly a million dollars through "the dropping of about 500 employees from the payroll. In ad- dition, the expenses of maintaining separate passenger and freight book- ing organizations for the lines were curtailed at a saving of about a mil- lion dollars more, The corporation now has more than two hundred vessels operating in I8 established lines and independently during cotton and grain export sea. sons. Of the 18 established lines, two are to be sold shortly. The Shipping Board has indicated that it expects to offer at least five more of the lines for sale before the end of the year. A new form of managing operators contracts, which places the responsi- bility for the success of a line direct- ly on the private operators, also has tended to reduce the corporation's operating expenses.' The new con- tracts encourage the initiative of the operators and have resulted in more efficient methods of handling the gov- ernment ships, LUMBER 8 Buildin Materia; Prompt.
