Those who are best nequainted with Dr, McKay will yeadlly' understand this, Ie {s & plan who has never been known to spare himself, either in time or energy, fn earrying out his duties, and in that respect it is quite true to say that in Suis present illness he is a martyr to his zeal for porvice, Knowing full well Dr. McKay's wholehearted de votion to his profession, und partiowagly to that branch of it which concerns the heplth wellure of the City of Oshawa, AW Jotos with the citizens fn hoping that Rial ensimay not be of such long duration af'it i& at present anticipated, and that ove, long ho quoy bo resforbd.to the fulness of bealth and 'strength. « alg Lda' a a ] CHRISTMAS TREE VANDALISM Partiors. in many parts. of\Optaglo are making complaints to polico authorities of the activities of oly | fowh' vandals who make « practice ot driving' out int the country, invading the woods of some farmer, and helping themselves to trees Lo be used as Christmas trees when the festive season comes around, These farmers have every right to foomplain, and to feel that they are entitled to some "protection from this clase of thieves, It has always been difficult for us to unde: stand Ale mentality ot/ people who ndylge In tls kind of stealing, Strange to may, they haves Iftfle thought that they are stealing when they cut down and take home Christmas tees from some other person's prop The people © yesterday of th had befallen Dr. T. officer of the city. pressions of regret erty. They see the trees there in the woods, perhaps gome distance from any human habitation, and thelr attitude is that, because they are fur tfemoved from & farm house, they do not belong to anyone and they can-therefore help themselves Yet these trees do belong to someone, and Lhat someone hag every right to the protection of the law In the preservation of property. This sanfe complaint comes Up every year, and every year there are more und more people who, vather than pay the fifty or seventy-five cents for which a Christmas tree can be bought, will use up a gallon or two of gasbulne and an hour or two of time to go out und steal one, Such people must bo 'sadly Jacking In conscignog, and it would be a 'good thing were some Jt them" Lo be caught and 'made 10 feel the penalties of (he Jaw for theft, PUBLICITY WAS LACKING It was unfortunate that the ratepayers of Cobourg, at the polls on Monday, rejected u bylaw providing for the purchase of the Cobourg electric power, water and gas planta from the Hydro-Electric Power Com: mission of Ontario, After the splendid example sot 'by Oshawd and Belleville fn" the acquiring of thelr Atility system not so many months ago, db: was ex: pected, by those outside of Coburg, that that town would follow suit, and would add one more lnk to the chain of municipalities in Central Ontario owning and operating thelr own electrical distribution systems, hy There can only be ona explanation of the Cobourg vote, and that is that the ratepaygrs were not made fully aware of the advantages to be gained by ap ving of the purchuse. Apparently there was no roper effort made, by means of well-direeted pubs 'Heity, to place the issue properly bafore them for one can hardly conceive of any body of ratepayers rejecting a proposal which has so wuch to commend Jt. Cobourg now finds itself In the position of belng "the only municipality in the Central Ontario aystem - give aft 'adverse verdict on a purchase proposal, 'and. that adverse verdict delays the duy when the accumulated surplus now In the possession of the provincial commission can be allocated to the muni cipalities which were fesponsiblé for placing it there, wow \ sn THE PROPOSED TARIFF HOLIDAY i The conference which is in session at Paris with La ylgw to making an agreement between the nations Hof the world to declare a tarilt holiday was not 'long £04 potting lato difficulties, Qu the Orel day it was ft found that quite a number of the nations of Wurope were unwilling to make any fixed agreement, but had certain Gonditions which they wished to tmpose before abolishing thelr import und export restrictions, and prohibitions, ' This result is not surprising, There are some sub- jects on whieh it is quite possible td secure a bal anced polipy 'between nations, but this is not one of them, Tariffs have become so much a domestic matter with most countries that to tle any country down to definite agreements of an uniform character is clearly impossible, Heonomie conditions ure eyer changing, the status of certain industries, because of development.of new methods and ideas, Is continually being altered, and what might be quite satisfactory in the way of tariff today might be quite insufficient two, three or five years from now, The conditicns of different countries, too, are ens tively different. What may seem fedsible and right for one country might be an economic impossibility for another, And one can vest assured that all these factors will have to be given full consideration, from § national, us well ag from an international view: point, before there can be any hope of an agreement being reached for the nations of the world to in augurate & tariff holiday, «SOUND AS A BELL Sir Prederick Willams Taylor, one of Canada's outs standing bankers and financiers, on his return from Eogland & few days ago, took udvantage of an op portunity provided him to express his complete eon fidence in conditions in this country, His statement {8 but one more to be added to the many optimistic comments made vegarding the immediate future of Canada, and he expressed himself in words whigh leaves no room for doubt as to his views, He sald) "Canada economically is ns sound ug a bell, outlook is mo promising that we must speak of it with restraint." And, continuing, after admitting the partial crop failure in the west and the erash on the stock mare kets, he added: "But these things do not alter the fundamental soundness of Canada's economic position." These comments by Bir Willlam are very timely, They should act as something of au tonle te those who have pessimistic Ideas as to conditions in this country at the present time, Even if there 18 a cer tain amount of depression in some lines of Industry, the prospects for the near future remain undimmed, and when the grain crop now being held in the eleva tors is turped into cash, the effect on industry in this country will be surprising That is the note which is to be found throughout the whole of western Canada, and it {8 the note which 1s being sounded by outstanding financial men such as Sir I'rederick Williams Taylor, EDUCATING MOTOR DRIVERS The department of highways of the Province of Quebec has for the two or three years been conducting a' vigapous campaign for Highway safety, with very satisfactory results, Jts bulleting, sent broadcast to motorists, are always full of helpful sug gestions in this 'direction, and us w result the high» ways of that province are much more free frum serious accidents than are the highways of Outario, One of its latest bulleting' cuifthied a cede for safe driving for chauffeurs and the various suggestions given are well worth passing on do all motorists They are as follows: 1, Drive prudently and carefully 2 Learn and observe the rules of the 3, Respect the rights af others 4 Show the same courtesy on the home, 8.
