Hew York and Chisage WED AY, APRIL 30, 1930 GAS RATES REDUCED Having alveady felt the benefit of reduced yates for electric light and power, the citi gens and Industries of Oshawa are now to have the benefit of reduced gas rates. Thus the effects of the action of the ratepayers In voting for the purchase of the hydro and as distribution systems are beginning to 0 folt In a very favorable way by the com- munity, and the decision made in the vote of last June Is being Justified, The reduction in the gas rates, However, is part of a plan which has been developed by the public utilities commission in a strong ort to pave the way for even greater re. duetions in the price of gas to the consum- rh As a result of a survey which is now béing made of the gas situation, it is hoped to increase the consumption of gas, both hy domeatic and Industrial users, to such an éxtont that further reductions of a much more sweeping character may be possible, Authorities have stated positively that it Is possible, with Increased consumption, to so Yoduce production costs as to make it pos #ible to nell gas at a much cheaper rate than is now possible, and towards this end the commission Ix now directing its energles, The reduction In the cost of gas represents a substantial saving to the cltizens, but more particularly to the industries which ule gas in their manufacturing processes, 'The saving to this latter class will greatly reduce costs of production in industries use ing largo quantites of gas fuel, and this should, in itself, be an incentive towards a greater use of this type of fuel, While the new rates have been put into . effect, the decrease, Is, In somo respects, An experiment with a view to widening the use of gas, and It Is the hope of the com- mission that the experiment will be suffi. olently successful to permit of further re. duetions in the future, DO OSHAWANS LACK APPRECIATION? The question of the appreciation, or lack of appreciation, of the people of Oshawa for drama and music comes to the fore an the result of the sparse attendance at the Ros "tary Hall for the opening performance of the dramatie Ukranian operetta, "Hrits and Marusia" under the auspices of the Little Theatre, This operetta, one of the gems of Ukranian literature and muslo, was pre sented magnificlently by actors and actresses and by a chorus of splendid aingers drawn from the Ukranian colony of Oshawa, Those Who saw It were amased, were thrilled by the Intensity of the dramatic art displayed by those who took part, and by the skill with which the most dificult roles were ine , It wan & revelation, nothing loss, those who were there came away with an impression that will be lasting, Arr Bea ecg gpd Tod presentation, the audience for each of the four nights should fll the hall 0 fallty. Those who do not wee "Hrite " are missing something they i missing, for it will be the subs conversation in Oshawa for many 8 to come. It must be disappointing, to the # 4 of Little Theatre, and e Ukranians who took part, to see so an audience on Monday night, but {s still the hope that tonight and on th will be so well fill. will be

There Is an abundance of materinl which might be dug yi by an Jstonenl society which could, by the presentation of lectuies, papers and addresses at Its meetings, form a nucleus for what might well be an authen- tie history of the county, A historical soe clety, with an Interested and active library. lan snd custodian of records, could very quickly compile a collection that would be of fitot value and interest, and which would worthy of a place In a county, museum which would be handed on to posterity to keep alive a worthy pride in the achieves ments of the ploneers which made possible the development of this splendid county, THE NEW ATLANTIC RACE ----------r It Is becoming apparent that the next race for transportation supremacy on the Atlan. tle will be contested in the aly, It has been proven that alr travel by aeroplane from his continent to Britain and Europe Is not yot on a safe and practical basis, but the same Is not true of travel by Iarge dirigt. bles, The flights of the Graf Zeppelin, the R80, and the Los Angeles, have proven that there is safety, dependability and stability In this form of alr transportation, and the next year or two Is sure to find the race for supremacy In this direction becoming keen, I'he Graf Zeppelin has already demonstrae ted what It can do by its flights to Amerien and around the world, The British airship, the R-100, will next month make its frst flight from England to Canada, It is the hope of the British engineers who have de. signed this glant dirigible that it will make new records for trans-Atlantic flight, and will be the means of establishing regular traffic routes by alr across the ocean, Ger. many, however, ls planning to build another ship of the Graf Zeppelin type, while the United States In to build two more supers dirigibles, making a fleet of four capable of long distance flights, This Is indieative of the keen race which lies air for Atlantic alr supremacy, It will be a long time, of course, before even the dirigible becomes a competitor to the ocean liner, so fur as bulk of business Is concerned, but It is quite lkely that in the matter of speed the divigible will be so far ahead of the steamship as to command a sufficient patronage to make trans-Atlantic alr lines a successful enterprise, A A TREMENDOUS LOSS The annual convention of the Industrial Prevention Assoclation, held in Toronto last week, focussed attention on the tremendous loss which Ontario sustains each your from aceldents in Industry, The report for last year in itself presents a staggers ing pleture of what it costs the province each year, not only In human life, but also in money and lost production, by reason of aceldent, For instance, the report shows that last year 87,108 Industrial accidents were report od to the Ontario Workmen's Compensation Board, and of these 810 were fatal accidents, The sum of money expended In compensi- tion was $8,012,107, about $1,380,000 of this being spent for medical aid to accident vig tinh, This sum represents a great drain upon industry, for it must be remembered that it 1s pald by reason of the assessments made against manufacturing establishments and other employers of labor coming within the provisions of the compensation act, Denton Massey used a very descriptive and apt expression when, in an address to the convention, he described Industrial aes cldents an "the unpardonable ain" of indus. try, for he expressed the view that every aceldent was the result of somebody's miss take, Prevention of accidents in industry Is a great problem, but it is one that should be boldly and courageously faced, Employees as well as employers should be greatly cons cerned In this matter, since they are the greatest sufferers from industrial accidents, Constant care and watchfulness, combined with the provision of adequate. safety des vices and preventative mepNures, are Nocess sary In order to reduce the toll of injury and death In Industry, but they will be well worth while if they will provide more pros tection for the workers, and will curtail to a substantial extent the tremendous loss sus. tained by industry because of accidents,
