New York and Chicage WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24th, 1930 THE COUNCIL ACTS Following the example of Premier Ben- nett and the parliament of Canada, the city council of Oshawa held a special session on Monday night to deal with questions affect- ing the unemployment situation in the city. There was action at that meeting, definite action for which the council is to be highly commended, in spite of the fact that it did not see fit to continue its efforts to have the Simcoe Street subway excavation dug by manual labor rather than by steam shovel. The subway, for that reason, will not give quite as much employment as was anticipated, but nevertheless, it is stated, between 45 and 50 men will be employed, and that is quite a consideration. The council, however, took commendable action in passing an extensive program of road work io be undertaken at once. Plans were passed for the paving of about a mile of eity streets, and for the construction of storm sewers, at an estimated cost of $75,- 000, for the sole purpose of providing work for the unemployed. This decision will be received with gratitude and eagerness by the unemployed workers of the city, for while it will not provide work for all, it will, by a judicious system of spreading the work around as far as possible, keep many fam- ilies out of the hunger line this winter. In all probability, the plan will be adopted of using different shifts of men, giving each shift about three days work a week, so that as many as possible will receive the bene- fit. While this will not provide any of the workless men with complete weeks of work, it will give them sufficient to keep the wolf from the door and that, after all, is the main essential. The city council has now faced its re- sponsibility, and it has done well. It may be that it may have to do still more before the winter is over, but the aldermen have at least shown a disposition to create em- ployment, in order to relieve the situation. This is good business, because the pro- jects undertaken were projects that would have been necessary, in any event, in a short period of time, and the federal and provin- cial contributions will materially reduce their cost.. But having gone so far, the council must continue to watch the situation and be ready for emergengy action at any time, so as to ensure that every avenue of possible employment will be thoroughly ex- slored during the fall and winter months. THE HIT-AND-RUN SLAYER It is to be hoped that the police authori- ties will be successful in their efforts to lo- cate and bring to trial the unknown man who knocked down and killed a citizen of Oshawa on Bloor street the other night. The public has no sympathy with the hit- and-run motorist, particularly when a hu- man life is taken as a result of his reck- lessness and his callous indifference to. the person who has been knocked down. It mat- ters nothing that the man who was killed was a man without friends and without in- fluence. He was a human being, a citizen of Oshawa, and his life meant just as much to him as does the life of the most powerful and influential citizen of the land. There is a touch of callousness, of indif- ference to human life, in the actions of the car driver, who on striking a human being, will keep on his way and seek to escape as quickly as possible. Fear, perhaps, may en- ter into the act to some extent, but at the best, the whole proceeding is a cowardly one. Worse still, it is a criminal action, and there should be no cessation of effort on the part of the police until the guilty person has been made to pay the penalty of his crime. THE ASSOCIATED WELFARE SOCIETIES As announced in yesterday's issue of The Times, the first annual meeting of the Osh- awa Associated Welfare Societies is to be held in the council chamber on Friday evening. This is a meeting which should be largely attended, both by the general public of Oshawa, and by representatives of every organization which is engaged in welfare and social service work, The idea behind the Associated Welfare Societies has been well tried and has proven successful, in Osh- awa as in other large centres. With a con- dition of great need facing Oshawa during the coming fall and winter months, loyal and whole-hearted support of the aims and objects of the organization will be required. The Oshawa Associated Welfare Societies is more than an organization for raising money and distributing it to families which are in distress. It is an organization which goes much farther than that. It seeks to find causes for individual cases of distress, and to give helpful and sympathetic advice for the correcting of conditions which may have been partly responsible for the con- ditions found. Thus, it is a constructive or- ganization, one which has a permament place in the community, and which, even when there is no depression, can find a useful and worth-while work to do. There should be a large body of citizen- ship interested in the work of the Associated Welfare Societies. It affords a field for per- sonal service which is wide in ifs scope, and which can do much to promote the well-be- ing of the community. But it can only func- tion so far as it is supported by the citizens and organizations interested, and it is to these that The Times appeals to attend the meeting on Friday evening, so that the work to be undertaken during the coming fall and winter can be set on foot with the endorsa- tion of a large and representative gathering. THE NEED OF THE TIMES These are unquestionably difficult times, not only for Canada, but for nearly every other country in the world, No country has suffered so much from depression, perhaps, as has Great Britain. - Her unemployment situation has gone from bad to worse, her treasurey is suffering from her huge re- payments of debts to the United States, and the raids upon it for the system of unem- ployment insurance. Yet British statesmen are facing the situation with a courage and determination that are to be admired. For instance, in an address in London the other day, the Hon. J. H. Thomas, secretary for the Dominions, made the following state- ment :-- "We in the old country are passing through a crisis unexampled in history. I know there are a number of people ready with remedies--some of them I would call quack remedies--but the one thing we ought to avoid in this time of crisis is panic. I have every confidence that the old spirit of grit and determin- ation that saw this country through many of its difficulties in the past will pull us through in the future." "There is an inspiring message, that can be applied to this country equally as well as it can to the Motherland. The need of the times is grit and determination, grit to face the difficulties that lie ahead and that kind of determination which impels one to take off the coat, roll up the sleeves and go to work in a whole-hearted effort to make business better. That is the spirit which will overcome depression, and gradually force the sun of prosperity to shine through the clouds. one HOW THE NEW SAFETY LAW WORKS The new safety responsibility law for mo- torists which went into effect on September 1st in Ontario, has already been given sev- eral tests, and here is how it works. Recently near Blenheim, a Michigan driv- er got into a smash. He is now serving sev- en days in jail for being intoxicated while driving; he 'must pay costs of $34.50, and also $40 damages to the car he hit, and all on a court order. 'And what is more, the offending driver's car is being held by the officers until the court orders are carried out. Now, there was no dead set made upon this Michigan driver. The new law was just simply enforced. With a real set of teeth, this new law, which is a very fair one, will do much to encourage safe and sane driving, and at the same time reduce accidents to a minimum. EDITORIAL NOTES Members of parliament at least made an effort to earn their indemnity of $25 a day. Perhaps the weather man has considered it his duty this year to help keep down the cost of living. A clergyman has declared that golf helps him to think. It helps most people to do a lot more than merely think. The 1930 school fair season has proven that these rural.events are gaining, rather than losing, in popularity.

Like Premier Ferguson of Ontario, he would have our pecple concentrate on the purchase of Can- adian foods and factory goods, to the exclusion of foreign products-- particularly during the existence of the present trade depression In r. Cromie's view, Governments should take the lead in arousing the people in favor of this emer- gency movement as they took the lead in the Victory Loan cam- paigns.

As he motioned to the proprietor behind the counter to bring forth his favorite cigar, his eye glanced at a headline in a maga- zine : "BUSINESS DULL: SPELL MONTHS." "Nope, I guess T won't take a cigar," he reflected, "I'd better pinch pennies, now; things are tight- ening up." A few moments after Dick left, a Croc kery salesman entered the res- taurant. After some conversation with the managér, he was asked to ship several barrels of cups and plates to replace the supply which had become nicked or shghtly dam- aged, 'As he was preparmg to leave the manager called nim over and requested that the order be held up sixty.

"Mr, James," said the proprietor, "I think we will have to hold off on that job for about two months, Things look mighty shaky, customers are coming in, but don't buy any- thing, Many do not even come in now; we'll have to hold off awhile." A very disheartened decorator re- turned to his office. In the midst of his despondence entered an old employee, John Simpson. John was the estimator and inspector for this particular contractor, "Well, John," said our decorator, "I hate to do it, but it looks pretty bad in general. Ill call you up if things liven up." Dick will never know, but that cigar was responsible for it all. Pushing his chair back from the table where his meal remained scarcely touched, Dick Roberts walk- ed disgustedly to the cashier's coun- ter and paid his check, "H'lo, Roberts; how's the boy?" a friend greeted him. "Rotten!" 'he tetorted in a voice that sounded just as his frown look- ed "--got a headache all the time, no appetite. Business is rotten, too, Just got a wire from the old man telling me to come in Saturday." As the friend offered polite sym pathy and strolled away, Dick Rob- erts once more passed the news stand and glanced down at a magazine headline : "PERIOD OF DULL BUSINESS REMAINING LONGER THAN ANTICIPATED," he read: "Decora- tors Report Forces Cut Due to Cen- celled Orders for Spring Remodeling Buying Down."

Barton, M.D. YOUR SHAPE MAY AFFECT YOUR HEALTH I have spoken before about . the three general shapes of individuals; one with the short narrow body and long legs; ane with the long wide body and short legs; and one with what might be called normal length of hody and legs. The narrow thin short body on long legs would be more likely (but not necessarily) to have lung trouble and indigestion. The wide long body and short legs would be stronger naturally, but as he would be a good "feeder," he was more likely to have liver, heart, and kidney ailments. The individual with normal length of body and legs would naturally have a little better chance than cither of the others in avoiding de fiinite ailments, However there is another factor enters into this matter and that is the ductless glands.
