REPRESENTATIVES IN U.S, - Mowers and Stone Inc., New York and Chicage TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16th, 1930 PROMISE FOR THE HARBOR The report of activity at Oshawa harbor from the date of its opening, August 7 to the end of that month, shows that it has every promise of becoming a much-used and busy harbor. In the first 24 days, fifteen vessels cleared in and out of the harbor and over four hundred tons of package freight were handled. This, of course, does not in- clude the shipments of coal which have also come into the harbor since it opened, and which represent a much larger volume of business. It does seem as if the harbor is going to justify its existence, and as if the time is ripe to point out to 'the powers at Ottawa the necessity of completing the development. Particularly important is the necessity of having greater dock and wharf accommoda- tion. At present, the dock at the harbor is almost entirely taken up with coal, piled in- to the bins there, Very little space is left for the handling of freight, and thus the vessels using the harbor are greatly handi- capped, This is not a project on which our local authorities should fall asleep. They should be ready at any moment to take up with the government at Ottawa the desirability, nay, the absolute necessity of enlarging the har- bor and building docks and wharves in keep- ing with the use to which the harbor is be- ing put. This is a real objective for the city council and the Chamber of Commerce, and it is one on which they ought to be willing to expend, at once, a great deal of time and energy. THE SCOUT JAMBOREE There is great excitement in boy scout circles in Oshawa because of the big scout jamboree which is due to be held in the city on Saturday of this week. . Never before in the history of local scouting has there been anything like it in Oshawa, and the officers of the central scout organization of the city are hopeful that it will mark the beginning of & great growth of the movement locally. The scout jamboree is more than a big celebration for the scouts themsglves, as the name might indicate. It is a means to an end, and that end is the education of the parents of Oshawa as to the value of the scout movement to their sons. Oshawa is unfortunate in that it has no Y.M.C.A. de. voting itself to the conduct of a program of boys' work, so that the boy scout move- ment is the only thing that is doing any- thing of any account to develop in the boy life of the community those qualities which are only 'brought out by training such as can be given in organizations of this nature. In order to carry out its purpose, the scout jamboree should have the fullest support of the public. It will be interesting in itself, but of even greater interest because of the work it is doing in developing the human ele- ment of the community along useful lines, in building character and citizenship of the finest type. The officers of the scout organ: ization of the city are to be commended for the active interest they are taking in their work, and on their behalf we bespeak for the jamboree the loyal support of the whole community. DOING AWAY WITH DITCHES We read with considerable interest the other day a despatch which stated that in several of the States across the border the ditches alongside the highways were being filled in, as a measure of public safety. We also observed, while motoring through Que- bec and the Maritime Provinces recently, that on all the new highways under con- struction, ditches were conspicuous by their De is a measure of public safety which we commend to the Ontario department of highways for its serious consideration. The majority of serious automobile accidents are caused by cars toppling over in ditches, either to avoid collisions or as the result of collisions which in themselves might not have had serious consequences. Along many parts of the main highways of Ontario, the ditches are so wide and deep that it means instant death for any motorist whose car gets into them. They had the same experi ence in the United States, and that is why the ditches there are being filled in, Perhaps it is not too late to suggest to the Ontario department of highways that a great many ditches could be filled in with much profit. The general understanding, of course, is that these ditches are necessary for drainage purposes. That was the theory of F, C. Biggs, when he was minister of highways, and that theory is still being used, although other provinces of Canada, and parts of the United States, manage to drain their roads without resorting to deep ditches, A move to fill in the ditches along the Ontario Highways would be a splendid move for two reasons, first, from the stand- point of safety, which is the more important of the two, and second, as a means of pro- viding employment for thousands of men who are out of work, It might be a costly piece of work, but it would be well worth while if it saved the lives of only a few of those who would otherwise be victims of the deep ditch folly, LEAVE POLITICS OUT, The federal government is now in the midst of selecting the men who are to be charged with the administration of the new legislation regarding pensions for disabled war veterans, It will be recalled that the amendments to the pension act, as passed at the last session of parliament, provided for the creation of elaborate machinery, con- sisting of a pension court, travelling pension tribunals, and a federal appeal court, and it thus provided that these bodies should be appointed after September 1st, on account, of course, of the fact that an election was being held on July 28. Since the new legis. lation comes into effect on October 1, these bodies will probably be appointed in a few days' time, and the war veterans of Canada are awaiting with some anxiety for the an- nouncement of the appointments. While the appointments were held over until after September 1 for purely political reasons, it is to be hoped that the appoint- ments themselves will not be looked upon purely as rewards for political services, It should be the aim of the minister of pen- sions and national health and his colleagues in the Bennett cabinet to secure the best possible men, the men best fitted by knowl- edge, experience and the essential qualities of heart and mind, and by their personal war service, to fill these all-important posi- tions, In past pension bodies, the men in the ranks have had no representation. This should not be 50 in the new boards. It would pe very detrimental were politi- cal affiliation to be the major consideration in making the appointments. The pension legislation itself was considered from a non- partisan standard, and its administration ought to be placed on the same basis. The Bennett government, of course, is in a strong position, but it should not take ad- vantage of that strength to make the ad. ministration of war veterans' pensions a matter of political patronage. THE BUTTER SITUATION The question of the importation of New Zealand butter into Canada seems destined to remain open for discussion until such time as a new trade treaty is negotiated between the two countries, A new treaty is abso- lutely necessary, for notice has been given of the abrogation of the former one, and un- less Canada is to lose all the benefits of trade with New Zealand, some new agree- ment must be reached in the near future. Discussing the situation, F. E. M. Robin. son, president of the National Dairy Coun. cil, has some pointed remarks and some in- teresting admissions to make.' Outstanding in a statement which he made recently are the following words "If New Zealand butter were to be ac- tually shut out, we would eat many a slice | of dry bread in the next twelve months, for we will not suddenly produce 45,000,000 with the industry feeling today." That brings forward the side of the con- troversy which is usually overlooked, the viewpoint of the Canadian consumer of but- ter. With conditions as they are today, a scarcity of butter, forcing the price up to record levels, with conditions as they are to- day, would drive it completely from the table of many families. True, the producer might receive a large price for his product, but it would he at the expense of the hun- dreds of thousands of people who have to struggle to make ends meet, and who would be unable to pay the price necessary for but. ter. EDITORIAL NOTES The Ontario department of highways is to be complimented on. spending an additional million dollars on highway work this fall, but it is too bad that none of it will be spent in or around Oshawa, . It is true in a double sense to speak of Oshawa's mushroom industry. With the Oshawa Fair and the General Motors picnic over, it seems quite in order to begin thinking of winter. . A coal steamer was delayed for several hours because it could not locate Oshawa Harbor. This suggests that it might be necessary to put a sign on Lake Ontario pointing the way to the new lake port. |} J, L.
