Powers and Stone Inc., New York and Chicage MONDAY, AUGUST 11, 1930 A NEW MOVE FOR THE FALL FAIR The decision of the directors of the Osh- awa Fair to hold an amateur athletic meet- ing of the first rank at the fair this year, in place of the old trotting races which were popular in bygone days is both interesting and commendable. It was apparent that something new would be necessary to lift the Oshawa Fair out of the rut, and the decision to follow the example of the Cana- dian National Exhibition and feature ama- teur athletics is a wise one. While it in- volves considerable expenditure, through the necessity of providing a modern cinder track, that will be money well spent, because Osh- awa cannot do its share in developing its athletes without suitable provision for their training, There will be little regret because of the passing of the trotting races. In the earlier days, they were quite an attraction, because they were genuine races, with the drivers out on the track doing their best to win, But there has been more than a suspicion in recent years that these races were nol decided by effort on the race track; but by bargaining and dickering in the stables be- fore the races. Drivers were always afraid of letting their horses make too good a mark, because they did not want to have them raised in classification. These things con. tributed to the decline in popularity of the trotting races, and made it necessary for the Oshawa Fair directors to find some new at- traction of an outstanding character. There are great possibilities ahead with the decision to build a cinder track at the fair grounds. For this year's fair, for in- stance, it should be possible to attract some of the world's greatest athletes to take part in the events. One can readily imagine the crowd which would fill the stand and park were such stars as Percy Williams, Johnny Fitzpatrick, Arthur Ravensdale, Jimmy Ball, Alex Wilson and others of like calibre to be announced as competitors. And there is no reason why they could not be induced to come. And the logical development of all this is the possibility of having a modern athletic stadium established in Oshawa, with Alex- andra Park as the site, That is a dream, per- haps, of the future, but it has been men- tioned in all seriousness on a previous occa- sion, and it is by no means beyond the bounds of possibility. Meanwhile, the people of Oshawa can look forward to the innovation of athletics at this year's fair, The experiment will be watched with interest, and it is to be hoped that it will be given the support it deserves, 80 that the directors of the fair will have no reason to regret their decision. NO NEED FOR ALARM The fact that a few cases: of infantile paralysis have developed in Oshawa has caused some citizens to become needlessly alarmed. What is even more regrettable, it has caused all kinds of alarming rumors to be spread around the city. For instance, on ' Saturday one anxious woman telephoned to The Times and asked if it were true that there had been twenty-four new cases of 2 the diseasc reported on Friday, That report, % was of course, absolutely untrue, but it shows how rumors are spread. It is true that infantile paralysis is a dis- 'to be dreaded, and that it is highly con. tagious. But the fact that there are ten cases of it in Oshawa does not mean that there is an epidemic, fen cases out of a community numbering about 80,000 is so 'small a number as to be practically insignifi- "cant. And with so well-organized a health "department as this city can boast, the citi- zen can rest assured that everything possible will be done to prevent any further devel- opments. + Much of the responsibility, of course, rests with individual parents. The disease has well-defined symptoms, and the only safe "course when there is any fear of these is to "call a physician at once. It has been proven 'that, when caught in its early stages, it can 'be checked and its effects nullified by the use of serum, The local health department has taken the precaution of securing a sup- ply of this serum, so that the health of the a city is well safe-guarded. The only addi- tional precaution that is necessary is that parents take heed of the warning, "When in doubt, call a physician." PLAIN SPEAKING The time Itas come when we feel it is ne- cessary to do some plain speaking regarding the way in which the Highway Traffic Act is enforced in the province of Ontario. One has only to drive on the highway from Osh. awa to Toronto on any evening, and parti. cularly on a busy evening, to become acutely aware of that fact, and to realize the abso- lute disregard of the law, and of those sec- tions of it which have a direct bearing on public safety, . * The only conclusion which one can honestly reach, after a few such experiences, is that the man who drives carefully, and makes every effort to keep within the law, does so at the peril of his life, and the lives of those who are in his car. Apply this to the speed limit. The man who drives anywhere near the legal limit is in constant danger of hav. ing his car wrecked by some speed fiend cut- ting in on him, because there are very few who are content to live within the law, and they rush recklessly past the cars of those who do. The use of glaring headlights, and the driv- ing of cars with only one headlight are two of the most common of offences, and the drivers who are guilty of them are allowed to go merrily ou their way, without interfer- ence from those who are supposed to be on the highway enforcing the law, Every once in a while the Hon. G, 8. Henry comes out with a statement to the effect that a check is to be made on these illegal practices, but that is as far as it goes. No one else pays the slightest bit of attention--not even the highway traffic officers. If Mr. Henry doubts the truth of this state- ment, we would invite him to take a drive out to Oshawa any Saturday or Sunday night. Of course, he ig probably in the fortunate class of people who have chauffeurs to drive them around, =o he never has direct contact with the problem, But let him get behind the wheel, and drive these thirty niles on a night when the road is busy, and we venture to say that he will go home realizing that the observance of the Highway Traffic Act is a huge joke, Reckless drivers, cutting in on every opportunity, and going from sixty to seventy miles an hour, cars with head- lights which are dazzling in their glaring brilliancy, cars with one headlight, and driv- ers who park their cars half way on the highways while the traffic is heavy -- all these things are common occurrences, and yet there are highway traffic officers patrol- ling the highway, supposed to check up on these things. Ontario has had a terrible toll of death on the highways this year, and yet one can hardly wonder at it. The Highway Traffic Act is meant to be a safeguard to the driv- ing public, but savhen it becomes safer to reak it than to observe it, because the vast majority of motorists pay no attention to it, then it is time that Mr, Henry and his sub- ordinates were awakened out of their com- placency, and did something to make motor- ists realize that the statute is on the hooks for other reasons than simply filling up space on printed pages. FARCICAL ELECTIONS Hon, R. B, Bennett has named his cabinet, and now all of those members of parliament who compose it have to go back to their con- stitunecies to be re-elected. Within little less than a month, they will have to appear twice before their constituents to be chosen as their parliamentary representatives. It does seem as if this is a farcical cus- tom, What reason is there to suppose that the electors have changed their minds since July 28? Is there any sound reason why the country should be put to the expense of another set of elections? If there are rea. sons for these things, we would like to hear them. We would humbly suggest that the antiquated law which makes this senseless procedure necessary should be scrapped just as quickly as the parliament of Canada can scrap it, and that, until that time, the oppo- sition leaders should show their appreciation of its foolishness Ly allowing all of the new Sabine ministers to be elected by acclama- on, EDITORIAL NOTES Last Friday night's broadcast shqws that Lindbergh is much more comfortable in the air than he is on the air, Mussolini is reported to be a viry sick man, Even a dictator has no control over matters of that kind, The only people who have been chuckling over the hot weather are the farmers who have good crops and who have been watch ing the price of wheat go up.

GER OR TO INVITE A NEW IN. DUSTRY TO THEIR CITY, untiring By James W. Barton, M.D. A young lady consulted her phys ician 'about her "bad breath" which was embarrassing, to say the least, She had tried mouth washes with out avail, Her doctor suggested that she chew her. food a little more and spread her meals farther apart There was some improvement hut as she was of the nervous type she found it hard to remember to chew slowly, She then began to have some pain in the stomach which remained practically all the time. Had it been un ulcer food would have eased the pain for a couple of hours after eats ing. It was not a cancer as there were no cancer symptoms, The physician decided to have her take an X ray or barium meal in an effort to locate the cause of the pain, At the end of 314 hours, about one third of the meal was still in the stomach, whereas it should have been practically all clear, Again at 10 hours a plate was tak- en and there was still 10 per cent, of the meal in the stomach. This then was the cause of the bad breath and the constant pain, She was eating a meal regularly before the previous meal was out of the stomach, and therg was. pressure from gas formation, The cause of the trouble was' that she was of a narrow build anyway and the stomach was squeezed ine wards so that it hung' a couple of Winning TeamFor in Jesus Christ neither circumeision avail oth anything, nor uncircumeision; but faith which worketh by love, Cal, 5:6, Prayer: "0 may my love to Thee Pure, warm and changeless- be, A living fire,' ALAAABAL AAS 2a ass sdb Si bd id ALLL Llissssasasss VIPSPTeRYYYTTITYT LALA LA EASTERN ONT 4 Add AA ahd AALS al as VPP YYITe Yow ARIO_NEW > Bld died dit bl Vv ve . ove roe AIR MPET PLANNED Kingston,--Plans are being ar- ranged for the holding of a big air meet on Seplember 1, It is proposed that half of the events will be held In Kingston and halt in Watertown, N.Y, Considerable negotiations are required to bring jhe proposed meet to a successful sue, TAX RATE REDUCED Poterboro.-~The tax rate fn Havelock is 456 mills which is a re- duction of one mill on last year's rate, "BRIDGE CONTRACT SET Campbeliford.~--The contract of the Ontario Bridge Company to complete Hay's Bridge for $1,954 was accepted by the Seymour town. ship counell, ----y FREAK GLADIOLUS Peterboro.--A freak" gladiolus stalk grown by Al, Spencely in his extensive gardens on Monaghan road is on display, It is a seeding with two pink blossoms on one side and three white blossoms en the other side of the stalk.

Thos, T.

Ha may look forward to exploring the Tower of London, but he will be anxious to wander in Temple | where Ruth Pinch used to moet John Westlock. The late F. C.
