EEE A LARGE ATTENDANCE HOPED FOR It is to be hoped that a large gathering of the ratepayers of Oshawa will ussemble at the Memorial Park this evening to hear the discussion on the bylaws which are to be submitted to them on August 28, regarding the construction of civic buildings and a new police station, As The Times has insisted since it was decided to submit these bylaws, it is essential that the ratepayers be fully in- formed as to the reasons in favor of carry- ing them, so that there may be no doubt as to the result, The Times has sufficient cons fidence in the ratepayers of Oshawa to believe that the best way to ensure that the bylaws will be carried is to have ull the cards laid on the table, give the ratepayers full infor. mation as to the why and wherefore, and thereby create a strong sentiment In favor of them, The members of the ¢lty council who are sponsoring the bylaws will have their oppor- tunity this evening to state thelr cause, and it would be unfortunate If the audience were not worthy of the occasion, These bylaws are Important to the Immediate future of the city, and those who have the privilege of voting on them should not lose the opportu. nity of hearing them discussed tonight, as well ax at the other meetings which will be held before the day of voting = -- THE ALTERNATIVE HIGHWAY The letter from Col. B, L, McCormack, secs retary of the Oshawa Chamber of Commerce, appearing in The Times a few days ago, mak- ing a concrete proposal that an alternative highway between Toronto and Oshawa bo ed: tablished along the right of way of the now defunct Toronto and Eastern Railway, has aroused a good deal of favorable comment in the city, Many citizens have spoken to The, Times expressing the opinion that this sug: geation. is well worth taking up seriously, with a view to having it presented in a for: mal and forcible manner to the provingial minister of highways. Every passing week emphasizes the neces pity for a second highway between Toronto "and Oshawa, and even farther east, and Col, MeCormack's suggestion would make this possible at a minimum of cost, The old Toronto and Eastern Rallway right of way still exists all the way from Toronto to Co. bourg, The tracks have been removed, of course, but the roadbed ia still there, and it would make unnecessary any large amount of grading or foundation building, It in a straight road, running through parts of the country not adjacent to any present provin elal highway, and would thus serve, not only to relieve congestion between Toronto and Oshawa, but also to provide provincial high. way facilities for many people now removed from them, A straight, well-built road, along this dis used right-of-way, would undoubtedly be used mostly for passenger traffic, since it would provide for faster travel than the winding road which is now the only highway running east out of Toronto, - And it would relieve the " gongeation that is so acute, and that is one of the chief causes of automobile accidents, The idea should not be allowed to die a na. tural death, It ought to be taken up actively by those bodies which are interested, and placed before the provinelal government, with a request that it be investigated at once and acted upon if the investigation proves that the scheme is feasible, WORLD CONDITIONS RESPONSIBLE People are apt in these days to look upon the present period of depression as a purely domentio affaly, created by the failure of last year's wheat crop and the difficulties in max keting it, and to the stock market crash of last October, While these are contributory factors which have reduced the purchasing power of Canadians, and have thus lessened the domestic demand for Canadian products, they are by no means the most important, 'Canada, in recent years, has developed into one of the greatest exporting countries in the world, Her exports per capita of popu. lation have been the highest of any county in the world. Much of the prosperity of. thi country between 1020 and 1929 was due to the fact that Canada was exporting hun- dreds of millions of dollars of her products, thus bringing in money from other countries to help in the genera) prosperity. But that export trade has declined tremen- dously in the last year, The depression which is prevalent In Europe and other parts of the world has reduced the purchasing power of other countries, and there is not the same demand for the products of Canadian fac tories from overseas points, This has been # great factor in creating unemployment, Thousands of Canadian workmen who, dur- ing the last few years, have been kept em- ployed by export trade, are out of work be- cause that export trade has declined, and the fact that they are out of work Is entirely due to depression, not in Canada, but in other countries, For instance, the Massey. Harris factories in Brantford and Woodstock, which were formerly kept busy by export business, are practically closed down, and the employees are idle, because the export demand for their products has increased, The new Canadian government has that . problem to face in seeking to deal with un- employment. It will, unquestionably, make avery offort to increase export trade, but until the world has recovered from its per. fod of depression, and Is again able to buy Canada's goods, there can be little hope for u revival in that respect, EE --.- TTHE SOLDIERS' PARLIAMENT This week the annual provincial conven tion of the Canadian Leglon of the British Fimplire Service League is meeting in Hamil ton; This gathering, which has been aptly described as "The Soldiers' Provincial Par. lament," Is meeting this year under more happy auspices than ever before, The last session of the federal parliament ended the most serious problems which had been face ing ex-service men, and provided a generous mensure of justice for all those who are suf- foring because of thelr war service. That wis made possible only as a direct result of the unceasing efforts of the Canadian Legion during the last few years, and the organiza. tion, now meeting In convention, has good reason to feel that Its existence is more than Justified, Although this has been achieved, there is still much for the war veterans' organization to do, The new machinery, and the manner in which the new pensions' act Is adminis. tered, will have to be carefully watched, so that there will be no doubt as to its being administered In the sympathetic spirit which was Intended by the parliament of Canada, That will be one of the duties of the Cana. dian Legion, There is, too, the problem of the Imperial war veteran who in now resident in Canada, but who still comes under the jurisdiction of the Imperial government for pension pur. poses, Disabled from service, he is pald pension at Imperial rates, far lower than the Canadian rates, yet hin cost of living in on a Canadian standard, This is a difficult prob. lem, and the Legion, at ita convention, will have an opportunity of giving it intensive study In the hope of finding un reasonable solution, The Canadian Legion, composed as it is of men who have shown their desire to serve thelr country, has a great opportunity to nerve again as a stabilizing force, How well that opportunity Is realized will be made ap. parent in the deliberations at Hamilton, and it will be interesting to note the outcome of the sessions. Oshawa, with a large delegation at the con. vention, is naturally interested in it, parti. cularly because there Is a strong hope that the 1981 convention will come to this city, The citizens of this community would wel. come a gathering of this kind, and we hope that it will be posable, hefore the present week Is over, to announce that the delegates at Hamilton have chosen this city as their next meeting-place, EDITORIAL NOTES There are still some places where people are not in a hurry, A donkey in Spain has wrecked a train, France id now making neckties from rub. ber, They should be popular with those who have trouble getting rid of the soup-spots. Prosperity is still around the corner, but we are hopeful that the corner is getting closer, Sir Oliver Lodge has suggested that the United States should police the world, First of all, however, it will have to learn how to police ita own cities, Let us have a large attendance at every meeting held to discuss the civic administra. tion and police bylaws, A little moonlight now and then will marry off the best of men, Henry Ford is now advocating a ten. month year, That would be all right if we had to 'pay bills only ten months of the year. There is no gainsaying the fact that the women of Canada voted for a bachelor leader, Toronto is hoping for rain this week, be. cause if it does not come now it might come next week and spoil the exhibitions Other Editor's Comments THE MOSQUITO (From the Yort Rowan News) The mosquito has been very troublesome this summer. As yet science had been unable to do any- thing for our relief with the ex- ception of the suggestion that we sprinkle the ponds and thelr breed ing places with erude oll, But this method is clumsy and diMdull and axpensive, especially where the breeding places are lake marshes, The government should set some ren! sclontists to work on this job; for this sharp-billed two-winged fly onuses a loss of many millions of dollars to Ontario every year, Loss to the fgrmer in his milk and eggs and live stock as well as a great loss to summer resorts. If we could truthfully advertise a land | free from the mosquito curse, our reveniie from summer visitors would be vastly increased. 1n look- for n mosquito destroyer, we might find somethng that would free the orchards from thelr insects, MAKING JODA GO AROUND (Clevelund Plain Dealer), The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company shows n sense of obliga tion for its employees' welfare In adopting a rotation plan of factory employment This is a neighborly and practical scheme for passing the hard luck around, Instead of a comparatively small group suffering bitterly through lack of work, all will tighten thelr belts a bit Goodyeur, Hike many other large Industrial concerns, is giving In creasing attention to the human wide of factory operation, The idea that the worker is & machine to be exploited to oapacity and then werapped in happlly Anding much «Follow Cltigons==Ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fel low citizens with the saints, and of the household of God, And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himeaelf being the chief corner stone, --Kph, 2:10, 20, PRAYER "Praise, my soul, the Heaven, To His feet Thy tribute bring."

The reasons for this unexpected re- quest were known only to tha twe Prinsihit, Whether mutual! exe planations could have healed the breach may only be surmised, The girl died while visiting rela. tives in Philadelphia, and it was then that Buchanan, in an agony of grief, cried out "I feel that hap. pinees han fled from me forever.' For days after her death he went about like a man in a trance. The intensity of his grief alarmed those who were nea: to the man who was afterward tn become President of the United States, At this time he expressed himself in a feeling eul- oky of the departed one, saying among other things: "Her heart wan the seat of all the softer vir tues whieh enoble and dignity the character of a woman, She has now gone to a world where in the bosom of God she will be happy with congenial spieits, May the memory of her virtues he ever green in the hearts of her surviving friends, May her mild aplrit, which on earth still hreathes peace and good will, ba their guardian ange's to proserse them from faults to which aha was aver & stranger: "The spider's most attenuated thread Ta cord, ia cabls ,to man's tender tie On sarthly Ddlisg-=it breaks at every broese," » The future President wrote a sad but beautiful letter to the father of Mim Coleman asking that he be permitted to view her remains be fess acceptance now in American industry then it did a few years ago.

It Is no time for explanations, but the time will eoms when you will discover that she, as well as I, has been very much abused, God forgive Lhe Authors of. it, My feelings of re aentment against them, whoasver they may be, are buried in the dust," For a long time after the burial of Miss Coleman the young man found it impossible to get down to the ordinary affairs of lite. He wandered around Lancaster, not wishing to meet or to talk to any of his friends, Some of them wers greatly distressed over his condi. tion, and at least one of them, Amon Ellmaker, attempted to con. pole the broken-hearted lover, His advice was 80 sane and so humane that it probably had the effect in- tended. Mr, Ellmaker wrote him A letter In which he informed him that he would take care of all his law business until he was abla to giva it personal attention. Then he procesds te advise him this grist must not go en indefinitely, add. Ing: "The sun will shine again though A man enveloped in glosm svivy thinks the darkness is eter. nal." The shrewd lawyer then goes on to tell an anecdote he had heard in his youth, A Spanish noblewoman lind lost her only child, Her grief seemed to bes inconsolable, She shut herself in her room and wept for days at a time. Finally her confessor, a wise as well as a good riest, alled on her and sesing her n tears exclaimed: "What! ave you not forgiven God Almighty!" That roused her to the realities, and in & short time she hacame normal, Mr, Elmaker applied this to the case of young Buchanan, and in the course of a few days he returned to his work and tried to forget what he had lost, ' During the latter part of Buch. anan's life he permitted oertain of hin intimate friends to know that a few relics of Miss Colaman and the papers relating te their estrange- ment had been gathered together 'and placed In the vault of a New York bank for safekeeping, They supposed from this that atter the death of the statesman the tacts re. lating to his unhappy love affairs would become known and possibly given to the world, After his death and burfal his executors went to his vault and obtained the pre. cious packet, . It was closed and sealed, and they turned it over with mingled emotions, But on the en. velope they found, written in the familiar hand of James Buchanan, these words, "To be destroyed without being read."

ITY BY CURTAILING ADVER. TISING AND TALKING PESSI- MISTICALLY, That Body of Pours By James W. Barton, M.D, REDUCING DURING THE HOT WEATHER When the warm weather is at hand, it is a good time for our over weight friends to get started on a re. ducing diet, During the cool weather, so much food is needed to retain the heat ne cessary to keep the body functions in proper condition, that a reduction in diet at this time seems to upset some individuals, and they {ced "chilly" all the time, With others the cool weather is the best time During the warm weather about 15 percent of the usual food intake may be safely omitted and this is a big start towards reduction, Now us the eyes, the brain appe tite, enters into this matter of dieting, it is wise perhaps not to cut down so much on the "bulk" of the food caten, For instance sugar, butter, and cream do not "bulk" very large but they are certainly fat producers wher little exercise is taken, Bread and potatoes are likewise fat producers but they take up a little more space on the plate, If instead of these foods, other foods that are more bulky, and appeal to the eye and brain are used, enough food 1s thus eaten to "satisfy" the indivie dual's appetite Such foods as lettuce, celéry, tur- nips, apples, spinach--all excellent foods ~may be eaten in large quanti ties to make up for a decrease in butter, fats, cream, potatoes and bread At the end of each week the weight should be taken and if there is not a decrease of one to one and a half pounds, a little lest food should be eaten, particularly your cream and BURAT, It is not wise to cut down too much on meat or cggs as they are neces sary for repair of tissue Now what about water? Despite the statements frequently made that water does not put on weight, experience proves only too well that water does put on weight particularly on those who are over weight. You and I know many in | dividuals who drink quarts of water daily and can't put on one pound of | weight This 18 because what is called "drys," their tissues simply will not hold much water However most of our overweight friends are "wets," whose tissues will hold large quantities of water, and this water 'makes up considerable of this excess weight Water is good for most of us," It in needed for all the processes, and a glass of water twice a day between meals 18 advisable And water does seem so satistying in the warm weather, However if weight is to be reduced, it must be done in a systematic man ner, und the cating of the above bulky foods, and drinking only small quantities of water, should enable one to get off considerable weight in a safe manner at a safe time of the year, (Registered in accordance with the Copyright Act) mn -- -- Eye Strain by €.
