WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER bth, 1930 THE PUBLICUTILITIES BUILDING The point raised by Alderman George Hart in connection with the proposal to sell land on the city property facing Memorial Park for a public utilities commission build- ing was well taken and timely. His thought was that, before this land should be sold to the commission, the council should be fully satisfied that the plans of the commission for its building: should be in complete har- mony with whatever the council had in mind for the use of the rest of this) property for civic administration buildings. This was provided for in the report of the property committee, so it is reasonable to assume that the members of that committee have similar ideas to those of Alderman Hart. Yet the stressing of this point did no harm, and it will ensure that the greatest possible care will be taken not to spoil the city's property at this point by the erection of a building which would not harmonize with buildings which might be constructed later by the city. The chief difficulty, of course, is that at the present time no one has any idea as to what buildings the city might erect on this property. Several plans have been drawn up and have been rejected, either by past. city councils or by the ratepayers of the city. The major scheme is for the construction of a city hall, fire station and police station on this property. That plan, however, has been considered too expensive to be feasible. There was also the lesser plan for the erec- tion of a civic administration building, but that was rejected by the ratepayers in Aug- ust. The council, therefore, has nothing left, but its own ideas, with which to compare the proposed plans for the utilities building. Nevertheless, it should be possible, in a practical way, to ensure that the utilities building will be of a dignified and proper type, such as would fit in with any well-con- sidered scheme for civic buildings. A struc- ture such as might be erected by the com- mission could quite easily be made to. con- form with sound architectural ideas as to the future use of the rest of the property. So, while it is only right that the city council should move with caution, there is no reason why the two bodies should not be able to reach an agreeemnt as to the type of build- ing that might be erected by the utilities commission. A WARNING TO CRIMINALS ---------- Justice Raney, presiding at the assizes at Windsor the other day, served notice on ban- dits and other criminals that they could expect little leniency in the province of On- tario. He wanted to tell the criminals this very thing, and he said it with jail sent- ences. In case of robbery while armed, burglary, manslaughter, conspiracy to break jail, and like offences, he gave terms ranging from seven to twenty years in the provincial penitentiary, the total sentences in eight cases amounting to 90 years. These were stiff sentences, but they were merited. They were also wisely given, because the Border Cities are constantly under the menace of invasion from the un- derworld criminals from Detroit and other United States cities. Justice Raney's sen- tences serve notice on them that they can expect only the most severe treatment should they be caught at their lawlessness on this side of the border, and this will have more effect than anything else in keeping . them out of this country. THE SIMCOE STREET SOUTH PAVEMENT ; Work has been started on the stretch of pavement on Simcoe Street South from the limit of the present pavement to the har- hour. This is a work which is greatly need- ed, and even had it not been undertaken as a measure of unemployment relief, it would "have become a vital necessity in the near future. The council, in its wisdom, however, decided that the pavement should be built 'at once, and also decided that it should be of concrete construction, because that type of construction would provide a. greater amount of employment than the laying of an asphalt pavement. oi : At the present rate of progress, however, there is a grave danger that the work will be interrupted by the coming of frost and snow. There is not a great deal of time left before winter sets in, effectively stopping practically all concrete construction work. It would be disastrous were the job abandoned, half done, by the onset of the winter weath- er, simply because those in charge of it did not have sufficient foresight to employ a gang of men large enough to do it quickly. It would be quite a simple matter to rush e work ahead by putting twice or three mes as many men on the project as are at resent employed there. The ultimate cost would not be any greater, because the work would be completed much more quickly, more employment would be created at a time when it is most needed, and there would be some assurance that the pavement would be completed before the road becomes snow and icebound. This suggestion is not being put forward in a spirit of criticism. It is being made, rather, in the spirit of the intention in or- dering the construction of the pavement, so that it can be completed, as intended by the city council, in concrete, before the season becomes too far advanced for such work, and so that the maximum number of men can be given employment while it is available and while the work is possible. POPPIES FOR REMEMBRANCE * The annual Poppy Day campaign, carried on by the units of the British Empire Ser- vice League all over the Empire, has now be- come an established British institution. In- augurated by the late Field Marshal Earl Haig, and since his death sponsored by his noble widow, it serves a splendid twofold purpose as it is carried on in this country by the branches of the Canadian Legion. In the first place, it provides a medium for the distribution of the poppies and wreaths which are manufactured in the government Vetceraft shops by disabled veterans who are unable to follow any other vocation. In the second place, it provides local branches of the Legion with funds which are used in carrying on a work of mercy amongst those veterans who are in distressed circumstanc- es. It seems sad that men who once offered themselves as a sacrifice to save their coun- try should be in such circumstances, but it is true that there are many such. It is dn their behalf that the Canadian Legion ap- peals for support of its Poppy Day campaign in this community. It 'is interesting to note that the move- ment in Canada has the loyal support of the government. This is shown by the state- ment issued by Sir George Perley, acting prime minister, who endorses the Canadian Legion's appeal as follows. "It is fitting that on Armistice Day we should pause in our pursuits and in our pleasures and stand humbly and reverently before the memory of those who fell, and did not return. It is fit- ting, also, that we should remember those who fell, and who did return. For them, the war did not end in 1918; for some of them, indeed, the struggle back to health and strength has been as hard and as heroic as the holding of the Ypres line or the assault on Vimy R.dge. * "On Armistice Day--Poppy Day-- we can not only honor the fallen, but can help, as well as honor, the disabled. Poppies and wreaths made by disabled men in our service hospitals are made available to the public through the Canadian Legion of the British Empire Service League, and the proceeds are used fér the furtherance of the Legion's relief work. "The pride of Canada is enduring her memory is not short. And so I am confident that on Armistice Day every Canadian will secure a wreath or poppy, to show that our Dominion pays this tribute as generously on November 11, 1930, as she did on November 11, 1918." on PULLING TOGETHER Many people, and particularly at times like the present, fail to realize that if the majority of the citizens of any community do not stand together and pull together, their city will have no standing anywhere. Worth-while citizens live in the days of to- day and tomorrow, and not in the days of the past. Citizens who are alive to their vespongibilities and opportunities pull to- gether, work together and keep pace with the progress of today and tomorrow. In most cities, there is a great gap be- tween what the city is and what it could and should be. This might eveh be true of the city of Oshawa, It takes men of vision t« build a city, for without progressive leaders a city starts nowhere and gets nowhere. Some cities have too many citizens who should be the leaders of today, but who are content to live only in the days of the past. Progressive cities, such as we believe Osh- 'awa ought to be, have leaders who live in the present and work for the future. What kind of a citizen are you? EDITORIAL NOTES Only three more days left in which to give a man a job before Thanksgiving. And after Thanksgiving, Christmas will not be far away. Looks as if November has started off by bringing us Indian summer. There is a possibility of buildings being made of rubber. Won't it be handy when we can cut a piece off the side of a building to repair a punctured tire, In spite of the depression through which we have passed, Canadians have much for which to be thankful on Thanksgiving Day. v Other Editor's Comments "CLOTHES MAKE THE MAN" (J. B, Morton in the Spectator, London) Business men, who have less hu- mour and therefore less sense of proportion than other people,would find it difficult to deny that the whole secret of their success or fail- ure lies in the choice of clothes, No clerk yould dare to dress like a writer. (I exclude novelists, who are business men,) Those agoniz- ing advertisements, American in flavour, which address homilies to young men anxious to succeed, are all based on the supposition that what holds down a good job is not the man but his slanting pockets, his walst-line, his type of boot-soleg or the texture of his tie, IL DUCE"S SPASM A (Hamilton Herald) Signor Mussolini has had another spasm.
