Most of us older folks can re- member the pranks we used to play when we were youngsters let loose on October 31, and now we sometimes feel just a little bit ashamed of some of them. Tomorrow night, Hallowe'en comes around once again, and since boys are still boys, the time-honored pranks are quite likely to be practised just as they were a generation ago. Yet we cannot help uttering just a word or two of warning. No grown-up objects to wholesome fun and merry-making, so long as it steers clear of doing damage to pro- perty. There is ample scope for youthful exuberance in the former type of recrea- tion, without the necessity of doing such damage as will cost other people many dol- lars and cents to put it right. The police will, of course, be on the watch for that kind of thing, but the police officers can- not be everywhere at once, and boys take an especial delight in being able to dodge the men in blue, Yet the boys ought to be discouraged from alllowing their pranks to go too far in the direction of wilful dam- age. The responsibility for warning them should be accepted by their parents, who could do worse than take the lads aside be- fore they venture out for their Hallowe'en fun, encourage them to keep it wholesome and above reproach, and convince them of the folly of a damage-doing expedition which will cost other people money. Parents, of course, may not feel like doing that sort of thing, bat whether the warning is given or not depends on whose property is being damaged. We offer this thought as a kind- ly suggestion, however, in the hope that the fathers and mothers of Oshawa, while en- couraging their children to have a jolly time tomorrow night, will warn them very strict- ly against going too far in their jollification. A STEADFAST PEOPLE Canada has passed through a period of severe trial. Indeed, it is not quite right to say that the trials are altogether over, but the worst seems to be past, and the upward trend is fairly definitely established. Yet the last year has been a trying period of de- pression and distress. In common with the rest of the world, Canada has borne a bur- den of economic depression that has been very heavy. She has fought her way through a serious unemployment crisis, but now seems to be on the road to recovery, al- though that road may be a hard and labor- jous one to travel until the ultimate goal is reached. Yet it is very significant that the people of Canada have borne their troubles, have weathered the storms of depression with a steadfastness that has been admirable. European countriés have suffered, too, from unemployment, but in these countries the forces of Communism and Fascism have been found to thrive on these conditions. Australia has found herself faced with fi- nancial ruin as a result of the slump, and South Africa and New Zealand have had political crises as a result of conditions there. Canada, fortunately, has been free from these added trials as a result of depression. vThe people have faced conditions squarely, and have kept their heads. Where Com- munism has made an attempt to raise its head this effort of a few has been ruthless- ly crushed, and the people of Canada, as a whole, have rejoiced that the Communists have been unable to shake the steadfastness and determination of the people of Canada in facing their trials. It is well that Canada has such people. This condition will make the ultimate recovery come all the more quickly, since the nation has no other handi- caps to overcome before settling down to re- build the industrial fabric which has been disturbed by the depression. Thus it is that, in spite of what has gone past in the last year, Canada is in a better position, and the people of Canada in-a happier state than of practically every other country in the world, and is ready for the return of prosperity in the very near future. "- RUSSIA'S THREAT ia is making a determined effort to wha Canada's trade, both domestic and foreign, in every way she possibly can. This is no idle statement. It is borne out by the records of things that are actually taking place or have taken place, in which Russia's hand has had a subtle influence on the mar- keting of 's products. It was seen published every after. in the wheat market manipulation of which Russia was guilty, when, in spite of her starving populace, she oftered wheat to the world markets at prices far below the nor- mal level, and ruined the market for Can- ada's product. Again, it was seen in the shipping of Rus- sian coal to Canada. It might be said that Russian coal does not compete with the Can- adian product, but trade records show that during September, over 51,000 tons of Rus- sian coal entered Canada. This was respon- sible for the fact that in September, coal. imports of Canada showed an increase of twelve per cent. over the five year average for that month and it is highly significant that during the same month production of coal in the mines of Canada showed a de- crease of 9.2 per cent. from the five year av- erage. Of course, there may be no connec- tion with these two figures, but there they are, and it does look to the lay mind, as if the imports of coal from Russia were hin- dering the production and marketing of Canadian coal. Now Russian salmon is being dumped on the British market at prices below those at which the British Columbia canners can even pack their product. This means that a larfe market for Canadian salmon has been invaded, successfully, by Russia, thus depriving our Canadian canners of one of the most profitable outlets for their pro- duct. Canadian salmon packers have depen- ded on the British market to absorb a large percentage of their production, and with this market seriously interfered with by the cheap Russian product, they will face a ser- ious situation, It begins to look as if Russia, now become the pirate country of export trade, has to be watched closely. Little can be done about it if Russia prefers to export her pro- ducts at ruinous prices in order to undersell the world, irrespective of the fate of her own people, But with Canada anxious to sell her wheat and salmon to Great Britain, and Britain, in return, anxious to find a market for coal in Canada, it does seem as if it would be wise for Britain and Canada to come to some definite preferential arrange- ment that would safeguard these markets against the invasion of products from a country whose only aim seems to be to crip- ple the trade of the rest of the world at all costs. WHO SHOULD PAY THE BILLS? The people of South Perth had a provin- cial election in their riding the other day. A new member has to be chosen to repre- sent them in the provincial legislature. The townships, as such, had no definite interest in the election. It was purely a provincial affair, ordered by the legislative assembly, and conducted under the auspices of the pro- vincial government, Yet the townships and other municipali- ties in South Perth were required to put up a sum of over $850.00 in order to make this election for the provincial legislature pos- sible. In effect, the provincial government said to these municipalities, "We are going to have an election in South Perth, but we want you to pay for it." This situation arises from the provincial election act which requires the municipali- ties to compile, at their own expense, the voters' lists to be used in the election. It is a great game from the standpoint of the provincial treasury, particularly when a gen- eral election is being held, because that means that in every riding, the local auth- orities have to pay for providing the list of voters for the provincial government. Of all the unfair and unreasonable legis- lation that has ever been passed by a pro- vincial legislature, this is the worst. The municipalities have no more to do with the calling of these elections than the man in the moon, yet they are saddled with a large part of the expense. Surely Premier Fer-. guson and his colleagues can see the injus- tice of this legislation--that is, if they want to see it. And if they do not, then it is time for the municipalities to arise as one body and demand that the provincial gov- .ernment pay its own bills, EDITORIAL NOTES A slain American gangster was found to have 62 machine gun bullets in his body. How could assassins be so wasteful? One would have done quite as well. : Judging from the things one hears on the streets, Oshawa's next municipal election promisés to be a very lively one. If Imperial trade matters could only be settled without regard to political effects, it might be much easier to arrive at a satisfac- tory agreement. Dieudonne Coste has named Captain Kingsford-Smith, Australian flier, as the world's greatest aviator. Now wait for the howls from the southern side of the inter- national boundary. Never mind the cold--a little bit of frost around Hallowe'en always seems natural. It is said that money now goes farther than it used to do. Perhaps that is why it takes so long to circulate. Qther Editor's - Comments OLD TIMES AND NEW Belleville: Ontario-Intelligencer) Id time stable yards where horses and wagons used to be left served a useful purpose, Today citizens wish there were some such places to take care of motorcars in lieu of parking on the main streets to the interrup- tion of traffic. ho not also remember the finely moulded horse- heads of iron which adorned the top of short ts to which horses were tied in leu of the present parking scheme! Front Street had plenty of stable yards. But there are now few ser- vice station yards in the same area that could accommodate so many cars as old stable yards accommodated in horses and democrats, And cars are more numerous than wagons and b ies ever were. e tying post was an institution, There were many of them on Front Street and all are gone. One of the last remaining was at the crossroads in Belleville Cemetery. In all the vil- lages around-about iby posts have practically all disappeared while the old iron rings have all been removed so that the horse which wants to be tied has to find some other place where he may fasten himself. Oshawa Times looks for the rural trade and makes a piea for the re- storation of these accommodations in the way of posts and rings but it would seem that the trend is against the proposal, ONTARIO LIBERAL LEADER- SHIP (Border Cities Star) The name of the Hon. Vincent Massey, the Canadian Minister to Washington and more, recently High Commissioner to London, is mention- ed for the Liberal leadership in this province, Mr. Massey has intelli- gence, education and money. And, thanks to Mr. Bennett, he is now at liberty. Some persons think, how- ever, that he may lack the magnetic personality that seems so necessary to the position. Another name put forward is that of Mr. W. H. Moore, former chairman of the Advisory Tariff Board at Ottawa and now Lib- eral M.P, for Ontario County. Mr. Moore is an able man and the Lib- eral party in this province might easi- ly do worse than name him as its leader--in case Mr. Sinclair decides to drop out of the picture, | Bits of Verse BEDTIME NOW "Little leaves go to bed!" said the wind through the trees.

ENGLISH BOYS FOR CANADIAN SCHOOLS Proposal Made That They Take Training Before Settling Here London ~-A proposal that Eng- lish public school boys be sent to Canadian Universities as the first in that country was discussed at the Imperial Institute. L. Jacks, headmaster of Mill Hill, one of the 16 public school headmasters who visited Canada last Easter, said he, came to the conclusion that there was an aven- ue into Canadian life for the Eng- lish public school boy. There were real opportunities for English boys of sofind physique, who were will-] ing to work at anything that came their way. The boys must be pre- pared to become Canadians, and not Englishmen in Canada. After the boys had been trained at a Canadian University there should be openings for them in sci- ence as applied to industry and in law and medicine. Many people had been accustomed to regard Canada as a place for boys who wanted to farm, but he would not recommend, a boy to go to Canada to be a far- mer unless he was backed by- a great deal of capital, The scheme for sending boys to Canada is being considered by two shirts, committees. \ Here and There His Honor R.

Interviewed as to a press des- patch that the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company had large stores of unsold metals and was re. ducing wages, J. J.

CANADA AND US, LEAD IN AVIATION Australia Also Takes Major Position in Civil Flying London.--Canada and Australia were declared to be the two coun- tries in the British Empire show- ing the most notable advance in aviation by C. R., Fairey in his first lecture as President of the Royal Aeronautical Society, Excluding Russia in Asia and Europe, /2for which territory no trustworthy figures are available, the two Dominjons and the United states lead the world in civil fiy- ing. These three countries show a rate of expansion greater than in any other part of the world, A little known fact emphasized by Mr. Fhirey is that in the British Empire and the United States the amount of unsubsidized civil flying is no less than nine times as great as the subsidzed flyng. Even when allowance is made for the present extent of private flying and certain flying for hire coming in the cate- gory of "joy-riding,'" there is evid- ence here that the aeroplane is be- coming very rapidly an economic commercial vehicle, JAP BIRTHS DOWN, DEATH RATE RISES Tokio.--The birth rate in Japan last year showed a decrease and the death rate increased, according to statistics recently published by the government, The natural increase in popula tion was 815,798, a daily average of 2,236. Marriages decreased and 'divorces increased, the same figures show. There were nearly 26,000 more deaths in 1929 than in 1928.

ROUTES New England -- Egypt-- South Africa Service to Start Shortly London.--The tragic loss of R-101 has not halted the British government's plans for future de- velopment of air routes with heav- fer-than-air machines. Early in the new year the first stage of the great airway across Africa to Cape Town will be opened and giant new machines carrying 40 passengers, multiple-engined for safety, will be put in operation, Various stages will be included in the routes. "The first two stages, from Epgland to the Mediterranean and from the Mediterranean to Cai ro, Egypt, are to be used both for the African airway and the Indian route; the latter has been in opera- tion for some time. At Cairo, the junction point, one great route branches southward for the long trip down the "Dark Continent," the other reaches edstward to the Indian Empire. From London to the Mediterran- ean across Europe the new Hand- ley-Page 40-seater with four en- ranean port has not been decided on, At present it is Salonika but it is believed the Afr Ministry has been succeesful in obtaining per- mission to use an Italian port, In any event, the cross-Mediter- reanean flight to Cairo will be made in a new type of Calcutta machine, with four engines abreast. A new air station is being prepared for land and sea planes a few miles from Alexandria, For the Indian route, Cairo to Karachi, the Hand- ley-Page 38-passenger machine fur- nished to give every comfort in a hot climate, is being used. For the Cairo-Cape Town route the Ar- gosy, Calcutta, and De Havilland machines, ail triple-engined, will be used in three stages, The first is Cairo to Khartum, the second, Khartum to Kisumu in Kenya, and the third, from Kisumu to Cape Town, The traveller from London to Cape Town will thus experience the comforts of five different craft on five big stages of the journey, By sea' the journey from London to Cape Town takes 17 days. At the commencement of the air service the journey will take 11 days but eventually it is hoped to put » nine-day schedule into effect. The fare for the entire journey, just over 6,000 miles, wil be about $625. This will include hotel ex- penses and everything necessary. The longest continuous flight will be eight hours and the schedule will be arranged to that the passen- ger will practically always be able to eat breakfast and luncheon on the ground, Within the near future the two great air routes are to be completed ~--London to Australia and London to Cape Town, with Cairo as the Junction point, PRICE ON HEADS OF CHINESE REDS $2,000 Offered For Field Commander, $1,000 for Army Commander Hankow, China --For informa- tion that will lead to the arrest of a fleld commander of the Commun- ist army in China, the Nationalist government will pay $2,000. That price fs the highest in the scale, the next highest being $1,000 for army commanders, Two hundred dol- lars is the lowest price in the grade in the grade list, and it is offered for information that will cause the capture of a regiment commander, In other words, the Nationalist government proposes to deal with the Communists as bandits and out. laws are treated in other countries, The difficulty, of course, in that there appear to he almost as many of the bandits in certain areas as loyal troops. The bandits do not play a lone game, nor travel in pairs or in squads, but in armies numbering sometimes thousands of men.
