One can not, of course, anticipate that _ judgment, other than to express hopes that it will "be such as to make possible an early start on the sub- Way project. = It has been a great disappointment to many of the Leitizens of Oshawa that the construction of the sub- "er8y has been delayed so long, and particularly to those people living in the' sotithern section of Osh- awn. These people must have felt a glow of satis- "faction in reading in last night's issue of the Times, which, by the way, had an absolutely exclusive ro- port of the proceedings, that there had been no fur- 'ther delay in, the hearing, and that, on some of the "pointe involved, the remarks of members of the board were favorable to the city's arguments, The case, however, has now been presented. The srguments have been placed before the commission~ ers, and it rests with them to. bring forward their decision as to the amount the city should contribute towards the cost of the scheme, and to make the tray clear for the start of work on it. : It is to be hoped that there will be a speedy judg- "ment, 'that the board will not hold back its decision * Jor weeks, and perhaps months, as is sometimes done, apd that it will be of such a nature as to permit the city council to take whatever steps are necessary to fave an order issued at once for the subway construc- 'tion to be started. From the standpoint of employ- ment, as well as from the standpoint of necessity, it is desirable, that the work be undertaken as early as , and the hopes of the citizens are high that this will be done.

"hag not been more universally adopted fir Canada. Old customs die hard, and there is. a tendency. to 'say that because the present system was good enough for the past, it is good enough for today and fomor. row. That, however, is not the road to progress, and there are many advantages which could be gained were municipal' operations under the, control of a 'manager who hall charge 'of all civic departments, 'and lof a small council' which acted i' an advisory capacity to him. : ; : In recent years, much dissatisfaction has been felt in Oshawa with the system now in force here, by which the members of the city council, fifteen of ' them, outside of the mayor, selected on the ward principle of election. To suggest that Oshawa should adopt the city manager plan may be moving ahead just a little too quickly for many people, even al- though' it might be the ideal plan. But it is time that some definite action was taken in the direction of reducing the size of the council, and having it elected on a city-wide basis. The councils of 1929 and 1929 discussed' this matter, but lacked the cour- age to take any action. But the subject should not be allowed to drops There is too strong an element of public opinion in favor of it ta be ignored, and while the change will come sooner or later, it would be much better for the future.of the city if it came sooner rather than later, WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS Speaking in the Masonic Temple in Oshawa a few nights ago, Evangelist Moffatt put forward what he believed to be the cure for the ills of the. world of today. There are many people, of course, who be- lieve that' the world of today is mot any worse thaw it was decades; generations, or even centuries ago. They believe, in. fact, that the world is a better world, than it ever was, and, as 3 rule; they point: to the material advancements made in support of this contention, . Without wishing to be in any way. unduly critical of the world of today, we tyould like to suggest that there are many indications that there has been a change for the worse in many respects. Taking the world by and large, there is not the respect for law that there used to be, particularly in the newer coun- tries which have not the advantage of centuries of traditions and observance of Jaw. There is not the respect for authority, cither parental or legal, that there used to be. And there are signs that the refining influences of Christian home envitonment are not so potent as they used to be. These are facts which will not be easily challenged, and Evangelist Moffatt, in his address, stated in a sentence, the greatest needs of the world, if it is to become. a better world, when he said: "What the world needs today is to get back to the good old book, hallowed by our father's prayers and our mother's tears, and lighting on the 'ltars of many hearts g sacred flame that reaches beyond the bounds of time and space." * v There was a time, in the pioneer days, perhaps, when the Bible was the source of guidanee and in. spiration for the growing family, when it had a place on the table in every home, and was read and studied diligently as one of the daily duties, There was a time, too, when the family altar was the great tie which united families in the bonds of Christian love, and helped parents and children to a clearer under- standing of the Way of Life which had been hid down for them. These days, unhappily, are gone in the vast majority of families. The modern world, with its intense business struggle, its galaxy of plea- sures, and its unceasing round of affairs, has no time fof the daily worship, the daily study of the "good old book" which helped to develop the strong, God-fearing men and women of the past years of Canadian life. Perhaps in making this plea fof a re- turn to the Bible for inspiration and strength, the evangelist and the writer may be beating on thin air, ntay be sending out a plea to a people who have ither the inclination nor the desire to respond. of acceptance. of the Young Plan of payment & great deal more to the world than simply the making of an agreement for the settlement of the finencial obligations of the defeated nations. That thought was admirably expressed at the closing ses- gion of the conference by the Rt. Hon. Philip Snow- "den, British Chancellor of the Exchequer, when he il.

It's amazing how boys will copy their elders, isn't it? Now that Queen's.

May it have the effect of making easier the convine- ing of all people that war and the armaments of war represent the greatest of all human follies. It is good news, from the standpoint of satisfynig the public mind, that an investigation is to be made into the many deaths which have lately occurred of people under an anaesthetic, Its results should be such as fo restore confidence in the safety of this .great adjunct to modern healing methods. The 'naval conference has already proven the use. fulness of modern invention. Not only. did the radio take the opening speeches all over the world, but "the modern telegraph eable enabled. newspapers all over the world to produce a. printed reéord of the proceedings to be preserved for all time to come, Other Editor's Comments RADIO ADVERTISING (St. Thomas Times-Journal) The protest against cxcessive ;ad- vertising on the radio, coming from such an influential source as Du Lee De Forest inventor of the three- element radio tube, and newly-clect- ed president of the Institute of Radio Engineers of the United States, is timely and should carry great weight in the right direction. He attributes the tendency to let the bars down to "the greed of "direct advertising, which will sap the life-blood and de-~ stroy the usefulness of this new magnificent means of contact which engineers. have toiled so laboriously to build." | MILLIONS FOR PUBLICITY (St. Mary's Journal-Argos) We were reminded how the world "do move" in a commercial sense by some lines that oceurred in. that ex- cellent play, "It Pays to Advertise,' which was put on by pupils of St. Mary's Collegiate Institute. In the play, which was written quite a few years ago, one of the characters points out to 4 companion the power of advertising, and quotes the amount spent for publicity by leading national advertisers. The point is that the figures quoted arc already quite ob- solete. Alongside 1930 advertising appropriations they seem like noth- ing. For instance, we were informed the other day that an industrial con- cern making many products, has spent 'during the past nine. months, three million dollars. on publicity for one of its products alone, DIFFERENT NOW (Brantford Expositor) A firm in the United States, whose name was left out of a: telephone book, is suing for $50,000 damages.

SMITH RESIGNS (New York World) "I regigned from the board of the Metroph itan Life Insurance Com- pany," says former Governor Smith, "because I did mot think it ethical to be wm director of the Metropolitan and at the same time be at the head of 'a real estate company which was applying for a large loan from the etropolitan Life with which to erect a building. The application for the loan must be made as President of the Empire State, Inc., and would therefore have to be passed upon by me at the same time as a member of the Board of Directors of the Metro- politan Life Insurance which under the law must pass upon the loan. It was purely a matter of business ethics. I deeply regret sev ering my connection with the Metro- litari Life Insurance Company." It is hardly a surprise at this late date to learn that Al Smith is honest. But there may be a business man here and there who might clip this state- ment out, have it embalmed in clear glass, and place it on his desk as a paper weight. | Bits of Humor BITS OF HUMOR FOR TUESDAY SOME NOISE "What was the idea of all that racket you made in the bath- room?"

Company, | ! I ding pool, garden, W. C. SIMONS. EDITOR OF THE LAWRENCE (KANSAS) JOURNAL WORLD, SAYS: THAT there never was a time, in the history of the civilized world, when the people did not complain of taxes. Yet the greatest burden of taxation is that which we place on our own shoulders thru voting bonds, or thru demanding service of one kind or another which adds to the tax burden of the community. Men run for office on the plat- form of lower taxes, but taxes continue to grow higher, even if the champion of a lower tax is elected. Someway it reminds me of a true story. Some years ago the manager of a store received notice of a substan- tial raise in salary. It was the first of the year and éverything looked roseate, so the manager said: "I am going to save some money this year," The wise old maid bookkeeper of the concern spoke a discordant word by saying: "You won't." Irritated by the remark, the manager asked: "Why won't I?" And the old maid replied: "Because you have never learned to save." That is the reason why taxes keep mounting, It is because the people, as a whole, have not learned to save individually or collectively, - A big hurrah is made over the building of this or that, and without really ana- lyzing the need to see if it is real or simply apparent, we, as voters, are swept off our feet and taxes are mov- ed » another notch, A hen taxes become wunbear. able, and there seems to be no other way out, revolutions often occur. The Boston Tea Party was a forerunner of the Revolu. tionary War. A wise old financier made the re- mark that people, individually collectively, go in debt during good times and pay their debts during hard times. Think it over and dee if this is not true. THERE 1S ONLY ONE WAY TO REDUCE TAXES AND THAT IS TO REDUCE EX. PENDITURES. THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO SAVE MONEY AND THAT 1S NOT TO SPEND ALL YOU MAKE. and| STUDYING A YOUNGSTER'S BEHAVIOR You will remember as a youngstes "UW wirerently parents aciwed, waen Jneir youngster got mio trouble with wie school autnornities, his playmates vr others, Some parents investigated the mat- ter tnoroughly and it their boy was im the wrong he was punished, and if in the rignt he was upheld.

Seme months ago I spoke about the establishment of an Institute of Human Relations at Yale University, 'I'he building to house this Institute will cost about two million dollars, Now what is meant by Human Re- lations?
