Tresidder, representative, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 11th, 1930 A DAY OF REMEMBRANCE November 11. This day will live ever in the world's his- tory as a day of remembrance--not a day of remembrance of victory for the allied arms in the greatest of all the wars of the world, not a day of rejoicing over the suc- cess which attended British arms in the field, on the high seas and in the air, but a day of remembrance of those gallant young 'souls which "went west" in that great and glori- ous adventure we call war. Their name liveth for evermore. This ought to be the keynote of the Arm- istice Day observance wherever men and wo- men of British birth and British blood are to be found. That great company of heroes who counted not the cost, but gave cheer- fully all that they had to give in the full flush of their manhood, stand before us on - this Armistice anniversary occasion, and bid us to be of good cheer. They bid us re- member that they did not die in vain, that through their sacrifice freedom and justice were retained for a civilization that was threatened with extinction before the heated blasts of militarism. And each year, when November 11 comes around, it is fitting that we should pause in our workaday tasks long enough to remember these gallant heroes, these men who went forth with shining faces and burning hearts, and who did not come back again. As one's thoughts turn back to the days which preceded that fateful eleventh of Nov- ember twelve years ago, one sees a vision of these men. They are seen, not as they were at last, with their uniforms stained with mud and blood, their faces dirty with the smoke and dust of the battlefield. They are seen as on parade, their buttons polished, their shoes shining, and their faces lit with the glory of their task. And as they stand there in rows, they have one message to pass on to the generation which is following them. Their message is, "Don't worry about us. We are all right. We are carry- ing on." ' That was the spirit that made their sac- rifice great. That is the spirit which the remembrance of them should inspire in the heart of every Canadian. "We are carrying on." And as they look down from the place to which their immortal souls have gone, we can see their anxious eyes watching us, wondering if we, too, are carrying on in the spirit in which they gave their lives. They died to make the world a better place, a place free from the malice and hatred and bitterness and jealousies which make war possible. As we remember them, as we think of the message they have passed on to us, should we not resolve, as Rememb- rance Day comes around once more, that we shall live to uphold and make real these great and noble ideals for which they laid down their lives? HELPING THE MUNICIPALITIES The announcement by the Hon. George 8. Henry, acting-premier of Ontario, to the effect that legislation will be passed at the next session of the Ontario legislature mak- ing it possible for municipalities to finance their unemployment relief works by the issu- ing of debentures, rather than by paying for them out of current revenue, should be very favorably received by municipalities which have found it necessary to make large com- mitments for the purpose. In the case of Oshawa, for instance, it is a decided advantage to spread the money spent for special projects undertaken to relieve the un- employment "situation, over a number of years, instead of paying for them as the work is going on. Several of these projects are being undertaken in advance of require- ments for the direct benefit of posterity, as well as of the present generation, and it is only fair that at least part of the burden of paying fo them should be passed on to the future ratepayers who will. benefit from them. ; Oshawa has a program of relief employ- ment projects which is expected to cost in the neighbourhood of $220,000, of which a proportion, equal to about half, is to be paid - by the provincial and federal governments. This means that the ratepayers will be re- quired to pay over $100,000 for these pro- jects. Most of these projects are of such a .pature that they will be covered by deben- ture issues, and it is decidedly advantageous especially at the present time, to have pay- ment for these deferred and spread over a period of years, rather than having it piled on to the taxes at once. Other municipali- ties are, however not all in the same position "as Oshawa, and these will welcome the deci- » sion of the government to make the burden of the unemployment relief works as light as possible upon the generation which is al- ready suffering sufficiently from conditions of depression. It is the belief of those who are in a position to analyse conditions prop- erly that the depression is definitely on the wane, and if the improvement continues un- til real prosperity is reached, then the bur- den of helping to pay for relieving the pre- sent sitnation will not be felt so keenly when days of prosperity are again here. LABOR SLIPPING The Conservative victory in the bye- election in the British constituency of Ship- ley, in which Labor loét a seat and the Con- servatives gained it, can be taken as a very definite sign that the MacDonald govern- ment is slipping. Usually, it is 1.6t wise to point to a single bye-election result as show- ing a trend of thought in the minds of the people of a country, but there is a deeper significance than usual attached to this re- sult. Since the war, Shipley has been held by the Labor party, and prior to that time it was regarded as a safe Liberal seat. It is situated in what might be termed the stronghold of the Labor party, in Yorkshire, and never before has this constituence been represented by a Conservative. The loss of this seat can be taken, then, as something of an indication of what might happen were a general election to be held in Great Britain. When the MacDonald govern- ment is rejected in one of its own strong- holds, what would be its fate in the many constituencies which it holds by narrow mar- gins, constituencies which are traditionally Conservative, but which, for the time being, are represented by a Labor member. A year ago, neither of the two old parties wanted an election, because at that time the Labor sun was at its zenith, and an election then would have given it an even larger rep- resentation in the House of Commons then it has at the present time. In that year, how- ever, public opinion has apparently changed, due, no doubt, to the inability of the gov- ernment to deal effectively with the unem- ployment problem. Now the tide is flowing she other way, and the government will pro- bably seek to stave off a general election as long as possible, knowing that an election in the near future would mean the end of its reign of power, and hoping that something might turn up to improve the condition of affairs in Britain, and make it possible for the party in power to be given credit for the improvement. WASTAGE OF LIFE Medical science has made great progress in the saving of human life. There are few diseases now which cannot be controlled and cured, few ailments for which medical men have not found remedies. Were disease the only thing to be considered, one might look for substantial reductions in the death rates of modern nations. But there is another menace to human life which is growing in extent. Last year, in the United States, ap- proximately 30,000 people lost their lives in automobile accidents. In four years of war, Canada lost 60,000 men. Yet in one year, automobile accidents wiped out half that number of lives. As many people as there are in the whole of the city of Oshawa and its suburbs were killed by the menace of the careless and reckless motorist, for it is stated by highway traffic officials that practically all accidents of this nature could be prevent- ed by the exercise of reasonable care and caution. It is a terrible toll that is being paid to carelessness. The wiping out of 30,000 lives a year in the United States is a matter which cannot be overlooked as too insignificant to mention. For, in proportion, automobile fa- talities in Canada are not far behind. Canada stands second in the world to the United States for the number of fatal automobile accidents per 100,000 of population, and that is not a position of which it can be proud. This should bring home with great force the necessity for greater care than ever on the part of all motorists, for Canada cannot af- ford to lose the citizens whose lives are being sacrificed every year in highway accidents. EDITORIAIL NOTES Now that thanksgiving is over--do your Christmas shopping early. Brantford is now enjoying bread at five cents for a standard size loaf--but the ma- jority of Oshawa people are still paying just double that price. Hon. Dr. Robb is angry because of the 'publicity given by the press to the recent deportations of women with long terms of residence in Canada. But since the publicity has brought justice to some of the others who were threatened with deportation, the public will naturally have its own opinions as to whether the press or Mr. Robb was Aight. JPR Wie B The Simcoe Reformer has celebrated its 72nd birthday, and has published an attrac- tive supplement iin honor of the occasion. The Reformer having just been declared Canada's best weekly newspaper, it has every right to rejoice at the fact that, in spite of having passed the three score years and ten, it is still full of enterprise and vigor, Its publishers are to be congratulated on their success, and may they long continue to hold their position of honor. Other Editor's Comments POETS AND RADIO. es (Scctsman) Within the last few years a mir- acle of mass intelligence had made it possible for listening to poetry to become again a universal joy, said Dr. John Masefield, the Poet Laure- ate, speaking at Edinburgh. Broad- casting had made it possible for a speaker to reach thousands of people at thousands of miles. If only the broadcasting people could work with poetry to create an art of poetry ad- apted for broadcasting, that art of poetry might come to life.

Remember the Golden Rule! DEPARTMENT OF TRADE AND COMMERCE OTTAWA, CANADA November 8th, 1930, For some weeks now I have been urging consumers in every part of Canada to buy your products in preference to imported products. I have tried to make it quite clear to them that, in their own interest, it's the common sense thing to do. Now if it is sound common sense that your fellow Canadians should support you, in your efforts to increase and to improve your production, | isn't it also sound common sense that you, in the purchase of your | | materials, should support other Canadian producers who are trying to | increase and to improve their production? | It's a poor rule that won't work both ways! When others wrench them-. selves out of life-long habits to do something that will help you, don't you agree that it's up to you to reciprocate in whatever way you can? So let me ask you very frankly--are you co-operating in this campaign as fully as you might co-operate? When you buy materials and supplies, do you always make a conscientious effort to find some Canadian pro- ducer who can give you what will fill the bill? Conceding for the sake of argument that there are certain things you must import, because they | cannot be produced in Canada, are your reasons for importing other | things that do not fall within that category such that you would have no hesitation in making them public? [ No fair-minded person is ever going to reproach you for buying imported i materials and supplies when you can advance perfectly valid reasons for doing so. For example, if, after making diligent search, you were unable to find a single Canadian producer who could make delivery in the quality, and in the quantity, and within the time necessary to meet your requirements, and at a price you could afford to pay, that would | be sufficient reason for your giving your order to a foreign producer. | | | get it!" cheapest market! in Canada. And yet it hardly seems like playing the game, 'does it? It's equivalent to saying to the small Canadian producer--"To qualify for my business, | you've got to show me that you cdn meet your big foreign competitor on every point--quality, quantity, time and price--otherwise you don't If every Canadian consumer had always taken that stand, and stuck to it, | many a man who is a successful Canadian manufacturer to-day would have lost his entire stake without ever having made a sale! But despite | the competition he was up against, and the handicaps under which he had to labour, he made sales because there were enough Canadian con- sumers willing to see to it that he got his start. So I ask you, aren't there times when you could well afford to show some Canadian producer just that little extra consideration that would be the means of starting him on his way to bigger and better business? If he cannot give you the quantity you want, within the time you want it, the reason probably is that you and other Canadian manufacturers have never given him enough business to warrant him enlarging the modest little plant he began with. If he cannot deliver you out of stock the exact quality you want, might he not soon be able to do so with the patronage that you and others might give him, by enabling him to keep pace with his big foreign competitor in bidding for skilled labour, in trying out new processes, and equipping himself with new devices as they are brought out? And if his price is a little high, just ask yourself if the preservation of your business makes it absolutely necessary for you to buy in the As I write this I have before me two competitive articles, both produced They sell to the same class of people, at the same price, and are apparently on a parity so far as quality is concerned. Both are made from the same kind of material, but whereas the material in one is 100 per cent Canadian, the material in the other is 100 per cent imported. The producer of the article made from Canadian material admits that he could make a little more profit for himself by using imported material, but he won't do it--he says he doesn't need to! article made from imported material, while contending that the exi- gencies of his business make it necessary for him to buy in the cheapest market, only uses that as an excuse to swell his profits! The producer of the If you want the 'Produced in Canada" movement to be a real success-- to bear abundant fruit--remember the Golden Rule, and do unto others as you would have others. do unto you! Don't assume that a thing is not now procurable in Canada, just because it wasn't when you first started importing it! Why not take us into your confidence regarding all your importations, and see if we cannot help you to locate suitable Canadian sources of supply? Very sincerely yours, So Minister of Trade and Commerce. TAKE NICOTINE FROM CIGARETTES Berlin.--A chemical preparation designed to make the world safe for cigarette smokers is becoming popular among women smokers here. Injected into the cigarette just before lighting, the chemical is said to deprive the smoke of 79 per cent of its nicotine.
