D, Tresidder, vepresentative, REPRESENTATIVES IN U.S, Powers and Stone Inc, New York and Chicago WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 6, 1980 | SEEKING BRITISH INDUSTRIES vi Oshawa ought to be directly interested in the steps which are being taken by the in dustrial department of the Canadian Na. tional Railways to attract British industries to Canada, and to find suitable locations for them in the province of Ontario, It is ap- parent that there are some lines of industry in Britain which lend themselves to the es. tablishment of branch factories in this coun- try, and it may be that the time is about ripe for an expansion in this direction, In fact, it has been announced that more than one British automobile company Is contem- plating breaking into the Canadian field, It is intimated that representatives of the O.N.R. are starting on a tour of Ontario with a view to sizing up the possibilities of On. tario towns and cities as locations for British industries, In the natural course of events, they will visit Oshawa, and the people of this city can rest assured that nothing will be left undone to impress them with the indus. trial advantages of this city, The Chamber of Commerce is doubtless fully alive to the situation, and with an abundance of indus- trial sites, equipped with the various faclli- ties required for manufacturing, there is no reason why this city should not share in any influx which there might be of new indus. tries from Britain, ; In fact, Oshawa is particularly well equips ped to take advantage of the prosperity which is just around the corner, and which is bound to be marked by industrial expan- sion and extensions, The council of 1029, in providing for factory sites for the future, took a wise step, and it may not be long be- fore the wisdom of that step will be made apparent in the coming of new industries, WILL IT PASS OVER OSHAWA? The people of Oshawa are ghowing a keen interest in the possibilities of the dirigible R-100 making a trip over Ontario to "Toronto, Since its arrival at Montreal in a damaged gondition, there have been constant reports and denials as to the trips which the airship would make while in Canada, The latest an. pouncement is that it will make only one trip, and while nothing definite has been sald an to where that trip will take it, there are strong hopes that it will lead the dirigible to Toronto, which means that the people of Osh. awa will, in all probability, have an oppor: tunity of seeing it. Mayor Mitchell has shown a spirit of enter. prise in sending a wire to the officials in "gharge of the dirigible asking it to cirvele around the city once should it pass this way, It would be a rare treat for the people of * Dshawa were this request granted, something about which they would talk for years to gome, All reports have indicated that the R-100 is a wonderful veasel of the air, a giant which is worth seeing. And the fact that it is the first of ita kind to come to Canada makes one wish all the more intensely that It may be seen passing over the city in the sarly part of next week, SETTING AN EXAMPLE I'he town of Whitby ia being held up as an «ample to other places in Ontario in its ef torts to deal with ita unemployment situation, The town council, realizing that there were many men in the town out of work, decided. recently to go ahead and do a considerable Reeently of sidewalk building, This work, or some of it, could quite easily have waited antil a later date, but the council felt that "with men out of work, it would be wise to . areate as much employment as possible, And that decision brings from the Stratford Bea- son-Herald the following comment j= "Whitby will get value for the money it spends; the men employed will re ceive wages for the work they do and that is the proper basis on which to pro. ceed, "Municipalities and other bodies which have it within their power to create em- ployment might very well think over that case, It ia much more to the point than waiting for the government to do some. * thing, ' The more such a policy was gen. erally adopted, the less need there would he for government action and the matter would be brought within narrower con- Bis where it could be more readily han- It is nice for any municipality to receive a pat on the back like that, And, to go even further, it might be said that the com. ment of the Stratford editor might well be given serious thought by the Oshawa city council, which as yet has made no effort to do anything which might provide even a small amount of employment for those who are out of work in this city, THE BRITISH WAY The laconic official reports of the trip of the R-100 from England to Canada gave no hint of the tremendous things which occurred. when, just off Quebec, the huge dirigible al- most. faced disaster. The official report says, "At 0.80 pm, local time, passed through thunderstorm, Violently dis- turbed alr currents, Ship's height var- fed rapidly from 1,600 to 4,000 feet, Slight damage to starboard fin, Other- wise ship O.K, Avoided many thunder- storms," That colorless official story, however, had behind it an epic of adventure and heroism, a further story which was not told in an of. ficial way, and was never mentioned by the officers of the ship, but which gradually came 'to light as members of the crew, In conversation after coming ashore, told of thelr experiences, What really happened was that the R-100 ran into a terrific storm, and was tossed like a toy balloon by the violent windstorm which accompanied the thunder and lightning, At one time It was tossed a distance o feet, and stood on its head, It was then that the fabric of the fin ripped, and, in such con. ditions, rendered the divigible liable to such damage as might have wrecked it, It wan a critical moment, but the men on board were equal to the emergency, Crawling out to the damaged fin, while the dirigible tossed about in the alr currents, they worked for hours in a position of the utmost peril, a position in which the slightest slip would have meant a crashing fall to the earth far below, They clung to the framework of the damaged fin, and by degrees patched up the gaping hole until it was safe to proceed on the journey, There was an exploit worthy of eloquence, an achievement calling for the highest dar- ing and the greatest of skill, Yet the offi. clal log had nothing at all to say about it, Truly, these British are a strange people, They might well have given the world the whole story, so that it could arouse in the hearts of all Britishers that pride of race which would inevitably have followed ita publication, But they don't do things that way, To them, it was all In the day's work, and not worthy of official mention, But some day, perhaps, the full story will be told, and it will be a story worth reading, I'HE "JOKER" IN CONTROL Sir Henry Drayton, chairman of the On. tario Liquor Control Board, speaking at the annual convention of the Chief Constables' Assoclation ofCanada, told of stops which were being taken by the board to give greater control of liquor purchases, He mentioned such things as entering on liquor permits the amount of money spent for liquor, as well an the quantity bought, and the provision that wine purchases be entered on permits, an well an those of liquor and beer, Surely Bir Henry does not pretend to be- lieve that these things are going to make any difference to the amount of liquor purchased, What difference does it make to the man who wants liquor whether the clerk marks on his permit the fact that he bought so much whiskey, or that he bought wo many dollars worth of whiskey, If that is the idea of the Liquor Control Board as to how liquor can be controlled, then the word "control" ia merely a joke, An a matter of hard faots, the whole use of the word "control" in connection with the system of liquor sale in Ontario is a joke, There ia no control, for once the liquor has passed over the counter, it is beyond con- trol, The purchaser has it, and with it he can do pretty well what he likes, That is where the damage Is done, If it were pos- sible to control liquor until it is actually con. sumed, there might be some sense in the use of the word, but unfortunately, that kind of control is impossible, and that ix what makes the whole Ontario system of liquor pale so great a menace to the province of Ontario, : EDITORIAL NOTES Congratulations to Sudbury on attaining the atatua of a city, The baby city of the north has shared splendidly in the develop. ment of the northern empire of Ontario, and we wish it continued progress.
