J REPRESENTATIVES IN 1).8, Powers and Stone Inc-, New York and Chicago TUESDAY, MAY 6, 1930 SIR HENRY THORNTON'S VISIT "It in of decided interest to the people of Oshawa to learn that on Friday of this week Oshawa in to be visited by Sir Henry Thorn. ton, president of the Canadian National Railways, For two years the Chamber of Commerce has been trying to induce Sir Henry to come to Oshawa to address the 'oitizens, and after many disappointments, these efforts have at last borne fruit, It is to be regrettted, of course, that Sir Henry's visit is to be of brief duration, and that he will be able to address only a lunch- don gathering. That rather limits the num. ber of those who will be able to hear him, but since all the members of the Chamber of Commerge, as well as the city council, are invited o attend the luncheon, that should assure him of a representative gathering, Sir Henry Is visiting Oshawa at a psychol- ogical moment, at a time when one of the most important. questions before the city is 0 construction of the subway at the Can. dian National Railways crossing on Sim. goe Street South, It may be that his visit Pas been timed deliberately so that he could say something to the people of Oshawa about this project, In any event, he is not likely to let the opportunity pass of at least mentioning it, This makes his visit all the more interesting, and should be sufficient to guarantee that the members of the Chamber of Commerce will turn out in full numbers _ for this important occasion. Ra »CLEAN.UP WEEK This is clean-up week in Oshawa, The Fire Chief, who usually gives leadership in this movement, because it is vitally bound up with the elimination of fire hazards, has issued his annual proclamation on the sub- Ject, and has appealed to the citizens to do their part to make Oshawa a model of cleanliness for the summer months, and a city in which the risk of fire has been re. duced to a minimum, Civic pride demands that Clean-up Week be sum and conscientiously observed in Osh. Summer days are near, and they will brio thousands of tourists and visitors to 0 city, On the appearance of the city will depend the impression it: makes on their minds, and since first impressions are as a rule the lasting ones, the citizens should do everything they can to have the city looking 80 neat and tidy, and so beautiful that the reputation of the community will be en. Clean-up Week, too, provides citizens with an opportunity of providing at least some work for those who are unemployed. There are all too J men in the city who would be glad of the ty to accept odd obs of this. oi over if only for'a few ours a day, of life for t use the their clean-up i 0 ate do 80, and the. gory telephoning 547, y the men required. , any case, whether the work has to kh bap he Ala ong clean-up be te, so that the fool that his appeal has not is always ile i who tie " which can' - these articles are preventable, are the re. 'sult of 8 or recklessness on the part of some individual, who, 8s often as net, . not the person whose life Is sacrificed, ampaigns, i ng safety in driving, boating i swimming seem to have lost thelr effect, Perhaps it Is the: old story of familiarity breeding contempt, Whatever the reason, # is deplorable that there cannot be tention paid to the essentials of fot) or the highway and the water, for these are the two places which seem to be: responsible for the majority of f deaths, People do not seem to realize what responsibilities are on their shoulders when they venture forth for holi- day-making, and until they do the week-end reports of accidents are likely to continue, WHEN WILL THE ELECTION BE? With the budget now before the house of commons, and the debate on it starting to. day, there Is again considerable speculation as to the datd of the coming Dominion elec. tion, Many guesses are being made, rang- ing all the way from July to September, but Premier King is keeping his own counsel, and is not giving any indication as to the date he favors, Much, of course, will depend on the vay in which the budget is receiv. ed by the Conservative opposition. The budget will bp challenged, of course,. but whether that challenge will be sufficiently strong to force a dissolution before it has been adopted, remains to be seen, Perhaps the Conservatives may do as they did on the question of liquor export, and refuse to al low the government to make the budget an election issue; That would mean a delay In the election, and would rob the government of another strong election issue, All of the dates which have been mention. ed in the predictions so far have been in July, August and September, One can hardly imagine the government, unless coms pelled to do so, holding an election during the heat of the summer, when there would be little possibility of a large vote, on ace count of the holiday season, There would be little hope either, of getting people to turn out in large numbers for campaign meetings in the month of July, And August would be little better, Taking these factors into consideration, we ave inclined to the belief that there will be no election until Septem ber at the earliest, but of course, our guess is no better than that of anyone else. And then, too, perhaps the wish is father to the thought, since an election in July or Aug- ust would be apt to rob all hard-working newspapermen of their holidays, COUNTRY TEACHERS . Dr, G, I, Christie, president of the Ontario Agricultural College, - delivered a vauable and inspiring address to the rural trustees at the Ontario Educational Association in Toronto last week, Among the things he drew attention to was that teachers who have been raised in rural districts are better equipped to All the needs of country pupils and that there are too many young girls who know nothing but city ways teaching in rur~ al schools, Dr, Christie should be an authority on a question of that nature since every year a large number of teachers both rural and ur- ban attend the summer courses in agricul. ture at' he Agricultural College, Just what teachers know of rural affairs is revealed at these courses, Probably the majority of teachers gradu« ating from Normal get their first experience in rural schools, Those born and raised in the city lack to some extent the view point obtaining in rural communities and therefore do not dovetail as well with rural conditions as those brought up in the country, Futher- more the desire to secure positions in urban schools is more pronounced among "eity bred" teachers resulting in frequent change of Instructors and thereby interfering with pupils' progress. Dr, Christie's remarks are well worth bearing in mind. --Kitchener Record, EDITORIAL NOTES -- Many a trout wasn't caught on the first of May.
