MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1929 BRIGHTER PROSPECTS The announcement made by H. A. Brown, general manager of the General Motors of Canada, Limited, on Saturday, to the effect that a new building is 10 be erected as an extension of the parts and service department of the company, was very welcome. : It set at rest many vague rumors that have been going the rounds for the past few months, rumors which, in some respects, were disquieting. It had been on many tongues that the parts and service division of the company, a division that has grown in import- ance in pecent years, was to be moved to some other point where the General Motors of Canada, Limited, already has a plant. Mr. Brown's announcement, however, disposes of that story, and settles definitely the future location of the division. That, perhaps, is the most important part of the announcement from the standpoint of Oshawa. The building is to be a substantial one, and its construc- tion will give much employment to a class of men who are much in need of it. Coincident with the announcement, too, comes the statement that work is to be started almost immed- {ately on the factory for the Skinner Company, Limit- ed, another substantial building. The first steps to- wards -actual work on this building will be in pro-. gress this week, and this work will keep many men busy for several months. And when it is completed and in operation, it will provide additional employ- ment for the workers of the city. For a city that has seen such rapid development, jnd such substantial construction programs as Osh- awa has in the last few years, these projects may not seem very large, But, coming at a time when conditions are a little backward, they are more than welcome, since they carry with them prospects, not merely of providing work during the cpnstruction period, but of a definite and lasting contribution to the city's industrial life. WHEN THE WATER GOES OFF The truth of the old saying, "You never miss the water till the well runs dry" was exemplified to the people of Oshawa in a striking manner yesterday, when the water supply was turned off for several hours on account of a mishap at the pumping station. People accustomed to turning a tap and finding a steady flow of the very essential element of life, found themselves almost in a panic. They realized, perhaps, as never before, just how important a part water plays in the average daily life. Had the breakdown occurred on a week-day, with factories running and business in full swing, it might have been more serious. But even as it was, the citizens wére greatly perturbed. The telephone x down at the pumping station rang almost incessantly from the time the supply failed until water was again running from the taps. And this goes to prove how much the modern race has come to depend on a regular water supply. One cannot help wondering, in view of the per- turbation created by a few hours of water shortage, 'what would happen were there to be a water famine lasting for several days. School boys, of course, ~might enjoy it, because hands and faces would have to go unwashed. But water has become so great an essential in many of the departments of human: life that one can hardly conceive getting along with- out it, even although, like many other things, it comes so easily to the average city hoe that it is not fully appreciated, as the old saying quoted above goes; "until the well runs dry." GIVE THEM A CHAMPIONSHIP WELCOME x The General Motors Lacrosse team, senlor cham- pions of Canada, is now expected to reach Oshawa on Friday afternoon or evening. These lads, carry- Ang the name of Oshawa to the Pacific Coast, are "returning bearing with them the highest honors in their chosen field of sport. They are worthy of the Welcome of champions, or a whole-hearted reception < that will show them that the city is proud of their mchievements, It is fortunate that so much time is allowed the ¥ citizens to prepare for this homecoming of the con- © fuerors. It provides an opportunity for organizing . such a welcome as has never before been seen in Oshawa. It should be'a welcome in which the whole .-body of citizenship joins as a unit, sincere and full .of the spirit of rejoicing that the "city should have been able to send forth to the far west a gather- ing of athletes capable of bringing home with them B dominion championship. RECORD-BREAKING SPEED The winning of the Schneider trophy races for speed in flying by the British aviators on Saturday is noteworthy for the record-breaking speed attained by the winning machine. Flying Officer Waghorne, in reaching the terrific speed of 328.63 miles an hour, broke all previous records, and now has the distinc- tion of having travellpd faster than any other hu- man being. , This achievement in speed is a striking example of - the progress that has been made in aviation 'since . the Schneider Trophy. contests were inaugurated in +1913. In that year, the trophy. was won by France, ~the average speed being 45 miles an hour, In 1911, the honor came to Britain, the British machines travelling at 86 miles an hour. In 1920, when the races were renewed, Italy came into the limelight, and produced a machine to travel 107 miles an hour, and win the trophy. ' Since that time, the speed had gone ahead by leaps and bounds. It passed the 200 miles an hour mark in 1925, when an United States flier set a new mark of 232 miles an hour. In 1927, Great Britain again figured in the record making, increasing the high mark to 281 miles an hour, Now a British machine has again broken all records, and the figure of 328 miles an hour seems to mark about the limit of what 'human _ endurance can stand, me . Probably the same thing was thought, however, in 1920 when 100 miles an hour became the record, and in 1925, when the mark of 200 miles an hour was passed, Science is ever progressing, and al- though there may be divided opinions as to the prac- , tical utility of speeds of that kind, the real value lies in that it provides the pioneers in engineering science with new information, new materials for re- search, and a 'mew impetus to perfect their work. Having succeeded in building' engines and aircraft to withstand the strain of sich speed, it' is reason- able to suppese that they can apply the lessons they have learned 'in so doing to improvements in aerial machinery that will provide the added stability that is its chief requirement. COAL IN ONTARIO The announcement that a bed of lignite coal, est1- mated to contain between seven and ten million tons of this mineral, with possibilitfes of much more, has been definitely located in Northern Ontario, is of vast importance to this province. It proves what many geologists have been claiming for years, that the northern district of the province contained a coal supply which would go a long way towards making Ontario independent of other sources of supply for certain types of this fuel, Some years ago, private prospectors claimed that the coal was there, but the Ontario government at that time was unwilling to acknowledge the claim. It wanted to be sure. 1t had no desire to stir up hopes which might prove to be unfounded. But now, after its own experts have made absolutely sure of their ground, the public announcement has been made. It would be unwise, of course, to imagine that the discovery will solve Ontario's coal problem. The type of coal which has been found will not take the place of anthracite for the many purposes for which that kind of coal is used. Lignite coal has a limited field of usefulness. Now is the quantity located sufficient to encourage the hope that it will last for many years, for it must be remembered that On. tario imports many million tons of coal every year. The greatest usefulness of this new coal supply, however, will be found in the immediate vicinity of the discovery, It is believed that it will be found of great value in the northern mining and pulp in- dustries, and may even be a great factor in the de- velopment of the iron ore industry of the north coun- try. Looking at the discovery from that standpoint, it takes on an added interest. Coupled with the new bounty which the provincial government is prepared to pay on the production of iron ore, the new coal supply may open up this field of development of natural resources much more rapidly than had been hoped for, And there is just the possibility, as is hinted in the official report, that the coal bed may be more extensive than has been admitted officially, and may be found to contain other types of coal which will be useful for other purposes. Northern Ontario has been prodigal in pouring out its riches from the soil, and its coal resources may yet prove to be the crowning discovery of all, EDITORIAL NOTES It seems as if the weatherman is making a de- termined effort to prove that Ontario is really a dry province. Oshawa Fair promises to set new records in more than one department. Certainly it should in the matter of attendance. People in the country are hoping for rain, while those in Oshawa and the immediate vicinity are hop- ing the weather stays fine for the Oshawa Fair, By the way, when will the Toronto newspapers acquire a large enough vision to stop calling the Canadian National Exhibition the "Toronto\ Ex." It will likely be more difficult for Edison to tind a substitute for himself than finding a sub- stitute for rubber, And when 'endurance tests are being considered, we have yet to hear of anyone trying a trip around the world in a rumble seat. A The Schneider Trophy races have shown that Bri- tain need take second place to no other nation 'in aerial development. The long drought, it is reported, is likely to cause a heavy fruit loss in the Niagara district. Isn't it strange that something has to happen every year io spoil the fruit crop in the eyes -of the growers, The general impression seems to be that Premier Ferguson will just have to give the Conservatives an election in return for the banquet they are tender- ing him. The C.N.E. did not break its attendance record this year, but it made a new record in going through its two weeks without a drop of rain since the morning of the opening day. The Children's Aid Society inspegtor in Windsor wishes to have the curfew lay, compelling children under. sixteen to be home by nine o'clock, put into effect. Wise parents, however, see to this without the necessity of any curfew law, Other Editor's Comments RINGING FALSE ALARMS (Montreal Star) Montreal suffers in a marked de- gree from the ringing of false fire alarms, according to the latest re- ort issued by the fire department, t will scarcely be credited that in a single year nearly one thousand such alarms were recorded. How to tackle the warped mentality of those who send in these calls constitutes a perplexing problem the fire commis- sioners have never been able to ve, EDUCATION AND EXAMINA- TIONS (Capetown Cape Argus) The late President Wilson used to tell a story of a candidate at an ex- amination who wrote indignantly: "This question is unfair; it requires thought" The candidate had no doubt been crammed in the approved fashion and was scandalized to find that more was required of him than a mere effort of memory. And yet it is obvious that the sort of knowledge which evaporates soon after the ink has dried on the examination paper is a very poor preparation for sub- sequent study or for the require- ments of business lifer If, thesefore, it is difficult to sec how examinations can be dispensed with altogether, it is clearly of importance - that they should be so arranged that they will foster, and not hinder, the acquisi- tion by the pupil of sound intellectual habits. ~ Failing this result, a great part of the money spent on second- ary education must be wasted and the majority of pupils will leave school destitute of the power of self- instruction and, therefore, singularly il) prepared for the hard battle of ife, THE COUNTRY CHOIR (Woodstock Sentinel-Review) The school readers used to tell of the blacksmith's daughter, who, sing- ing in the village choir made his heart rejoice, If that choir was like many in the churches of rural On- tario, the young lady was probably its vocal mainstay. There is seldom a surplus of talent or, indeed, of per- sonnel, talented or otherwise. And so it is appropriate to give a thought to the young women who in the very small church virtually leads the ser- vice of song. Frequently she has a good voice, but it is quite likely to be the only one which could be so classified. The organ is not all that could be desired; the congregational singing is not very robust. Without the chorister to whom we pay tri- butd here, one imagines that the singing would be pretty much a fail- ure. But she is there every Sunday, and at every service. Paid soloists in city churches take vacation, but this one cannot be spared. There may be other attractions, and at times, no doubt, she is in her place only by personal sacrifice. But she is there, and the service of praise continues unhaltitigly. To the type here out- lined, the country church owes much, No higher service is rendcred even from the pulpit. Spent the day strolling down Hollywood Boulevard in Holly- wood, California. Hollywood's busi ti s located main- ly one street, and believe me, it is some long street. | don't know just how many miles long it is, but the restaurants are nicely ar- ranged so that wherever you may be on your journey, when lunch or dinner time comes, it will be only a few feet to a good place to eat and rest awhile, and then start on your way again. Many people seem to think that Hollywood consists of studios and moving picture people, It is true that they are here galore, but they are only a part of a live, progressive lit- tle city. Even more noticeable to me than the moving picture industry is its smart shops, large office buildings, hotels, beautiful homes, schools and churches; in fact, everything that goes to make a modern city, The busy business section of Hollywood is well worth seeing. It has two fine newspapers that have done much in the develop. ment of the city. - MARVELOUS HAVE BEEN THE ACCOMPLISHMEN ITS CITIZENS.

Barton, M.D. WHY WE SHOULD FIGHT NOISE I often wonder why as a people we will fight for our rights along so many lines, and refuse to fight for other rights which are equally as important, . For instance if garbage is not re- moved, if neighboring yards are in an unsanitary condition, if the road- way is not swept, if drinking water is not kept safe, we are in arms at once. And yet there is something that is just as definitely harmful to that body of yours as any of the above and you stand for it, I refer to noise, What is' noise? Some one has said that "any sound that disturbed repose was noise, which startled and exhausted the hu- man nervous system! The noise from factories, the noise of the street, are growing worse all the time, and. little if anything is be- ing done in an organized way to stop the noises. Why is noise harmful? Because noise startles, makes you tense, and by keeping you tensed, tircs or exhausts the nervous sys- tem, Unfortunately it is carly in the morning when you are getting the last portion of your sleep that the street or factory noises begin. This is when you sleep the "lightest" and so often you are thus unable to get to sleep again. For folks who are sick at home or in a hospital noise is a big factor in retarding their recovery. It is for this reason that "sleep- ing drugs are used so much these days, No doctor likes to give drugs to induce sleep, but the patient must have rest, must have relaxation. Get- ting rid of "tensencss" by slcep is what the human body needs everyday if it is to'do its work properly. Now what is to be done about noise and noises? Already we see adjoining hospitals signs notifying the public that that particular district is to be a 'quiet zone." This is one step of course, but the size, weight and speed of trucks, the motor horns, sirens, or klaxons, the asphalt walks and pavements, the whistles of factories and locomotives, flat wheels on trolley cars and many other noises should be investigated and everything possible dane to fless- en the intensity of the noises they produce. y Being kept alert by noises during the hours of the day as we endeavor 10 do our work, and kept awaks un- til very late at night and again early in the morning, is doing as much to undermine health, as other conditions that have been overcome by fighting them.
