Tresidder, representative, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 22nd, 1930 OVER THE TOP The citizens of Oshawa have given a splendid response.fo the challenge which was placed before them in the appeal for a fund of $15,000 for the Oshawa Associat- ed Welfare Societies. With the returns still incomplete, it is already apparent that the total of the fund will be well over the $25,000 mark, showing that the people of Oshawa were not only convinced of the worthiness of the cause and the need of the fund, but were willing to dip down deeply into their pockets and provide the money which will save hundreds of citizens from cold and hunger during the coming winter. The result is a splendid vindication of the faith of those men who gave leader- ship to the campaign, and of the scores of workers, confident of the willingness of the citizens to respond, gave so generously of their time and effort to send the fund far above its objective. Above all, the workers of the city are to be congratulated on their magnificent re- sponse. Many of them have not had too much work this year. Many of them have themselves suffered from privation in re- - cent months, and this, no doubt, helped to make them more sympathetic, and more ready to respond to the call of need. Their contributions have, in the mass, reached a surprising total, showing that, after all, in proportion to what they have, the workers of the city have given very generously to the fund for the relief of distress. The raising of such a large fund will en- able the Associated Welfare Societies to perform splendid service to the needy fam- ilies of Oshawa during the coming winter. Although the objective has been over-sub- scribed, there will not be any more money than can be wisely expended on behalf of the families which require the aid of the organization. It will be possible, perhaps, to deal a little more generously with de- serving cases than would have been the case had the objective not been reached, but the citizens can rest assured that they have placed this money ip good hands, and that it will be wisely administered. While commending the citizens as 'a whole for their great response to the ap- peal, The Times feels that congratulations and thanks are due to W. M. Gilbert, chair- man of the general committee, and his fel- low-workers for 'the success achieved. This was only made possible by the excellence of the organization which was created, by the enthusiasm which was engendered, and by the untiring zeal of all who took part in the campaign, and to them the city as _ ~, whole owes a great debt of gratitude. ~~ LET THE UNEMPLOYED DO IT i ' In a short time the city council will be passing the by-laws providing for the hold- ing of the annual municipal elections in Oshawa. This will provide the aldermen with an opportunity to give at least one day's work to a large number of unemploy- ed men. It will be recalled that at the time of the voting on the civic buildings by-laws, there was considerable criticism because for the most part the positions of deputy- returning officers and polling clerks were handed out to men in no real need of them, men already in business or retired gentle- men with ample funds at their disposal. The aldermen ought to make sure that there will be no grounds for criticism when the munincipal elections are held. Granted that some special qualifications might be re- quired for this work, it should still be poss- ible to secure unemployed men capable of filling every position on election day. It will be useless, of course, to leave this until the last minute, and then expect to find the right men in a hurry. We would respect- fully suggest to the aldermen that they should now be scanning the lists of unem- ployed men, so that, when the by-law is be- i ing passed to appoint these officials, they will have ready a sufficient number of names of men who are out of work and need the money which is paid in fees to them. It should not be necessary to appoint, year after year, men of substance or men of leis- ure to these appointements. And, failing success on the part of the council to secure a sufficient number of qualified men, we venture to suggest that the local branch of the Canadian Legion could quite easily sup- ply enough unemployed war veterans quali- fied to do the work to fill every position that "is available, , yer + AGRICULTURAL POLICIES Hon. Rebert Weir, minister of agricul- ture for Canada, has enunciated what has been called a new national policy for agri- culture. This was set forth in his address at the opening of the prosperous. Three production end of for they touch orf the improvement of cattle herds by the use of better sires, the scienti- fic use of home-grown product for herd feed- ing, and the prevention of the spread of disease among poultry, All of these are com- mendable objects, but none of them are new. All have been practised in Ontario by pro- gressive farmers, and in some districts cam- paigns leading in this direction have been going on for many years. The fourth measure, however, means more to the farmers than the other three combined. Canadians do not need to worry a great deal about the standards in the live stock industry, because the farmers them- selves saw the importance of this years ago, and have been working steadily towards that end. On top of that, however, the Hon. Mr. Weir proposes to institute careful study of the marketing problem. This is the real crux of the whole agricultural situation. Canadian farmers can take good care of the production end, be it in crops or in live stock. Where the industry is suffering it in the marketing of these products. This has been realized for many years. Various schemes have been tried some with a cer- tain measure of success, and some with no success at all. In the days of the Drury government regime in Ontario, the Hon. Manning Doherty, provincial minister of agriculture, became a crusader for co-oper- ative marketing. Little is heard of that nowadays, although it is carried on in a prac- tical way in some counties. In the problem of marketing, then, can be found the key to the situation which to- day confronts the agricultural industry in Ontario. The farmers of Canada can hold their own with any in the world for produc- tion, but they are handicapped in their in- dustry because of the uncertainty of mar- kets and market prices. So, if Mr. Weir is anxious to improve the status of the agricul- turists of Canada, he will devote less atten- tion to teaching the farmers how to farm, and concentrate his efforts on helping them to secure permament and stable markets. THE WHEAT SITUATION The situation in regard to the marketing of Canadian wheat has been anything but satisfactory for some months. It appeared as if the worst has been reached the other day when prices took a drastic drop. Wheth- er or not the dumping of wheat on the world market by Russia is responsible, the fact remains that at present prices wheat is not a profitable crop to the farmers of Canada. Hope of better days, however, is in sight. The statement made by the chairman of the United States federal farm board, to the effect that his country is definitely out of the world wheat market for several months is good news for the Canadian wheat grow- ers. It means that competition from the Un- ited States in the market of Great Britain is eliminated, and that Canada will be the only exporter of North American wheat. This should help matters. Russia cannot continue to export wheat much longer, even if the Soviet government is prepared to let its own people starve, because the freezing up of her ports will effectively stop the out- lets for her exports. Given a few months with a clear field in the world market, so far as the United States and Russia are con- cerned, the Canadian wheat situation should be started on a definite period of recovery, a period during which prices can be expected to improve, and the movement of wheat to- wards the markets accelerated. This is one of the chief essentials for the return of nor- mal prosperity to Canada, and it is to be hoped that those who are looking for this to occur will not be disappointed.

(Copyright, 1928) OPTICAL LENSES Part "8" Lenses used for the correction of astigmatism are cylinder, sphero- cylinders and toric lenses. The cylinder lens has power in one meri- dian only and no power in the op- posite meridian or at right angles to the lens with a spherical power being on the one surface and the cylinder power on the other surface.( The toric lens has both the cylinder and the spherical curves ground on the one surface. This surface is toroidal Its surface curvature being greater in one meridian than in the other as in the surface of the bowl of a spoon. In wearing the correction for astig- matism it is always much better to have the lenses securely adjusted io one position. They must correct an error in the particular meridian and it is essential that they be held se- curely to potition, Those who are wearers of a lens correction should be mindful of the necessity of keep- ing frames straightened and proper- ly adjusted to position that the most possible in-service may be available, (To be Continued) THAT WHEN BUSINESS CON- CERNS FAIL TO USE EVERY EFFORT TO INCREASE THEIR BUSINESS, THEY ARE HOLDING BACK ITS PROGRESS.

QUEEN VICTORIA STRONG IN MIND UNTIL HER DEATH Volume of 'Her Letters Just Issued Throws Light on Her Life London.--By the permission of King George a volume, edited by G, E, Buckle and published by Murray, the third series of Queen Victoria." The book covers the five years from 1886 to 1890, In political affairs it includes the {introduction of the first Home Rule bill, the matter of the Pigott forg- ery, the fall of Parnell, There 1s also a host of incidents concerning foreign affairs, upon most of which Queen Victoria held very firm opin- fons. It is more interesting to the general reader of this day to note some of the intimate glances which the Letters afford of the family and domestic relations of the English court in the years around the time of Victoria's Jubilee, The old Emperor William of Ger- many was dying, and his successor the Emperor Frederick, was a doomed man already. Queen Vic- toria well knew of the lack of sym- pathy between her daughter, the Empress Frederick, and the latter's son, afterwards Kaiser William, Victoria knew, too, of the implac- able hostility of Bismarck to the Empress. "1 appealed to the Prince Bismarck to stand by poor Vicky, and he assured me he wouia and that hers was a hard fate," she wrote. At a later period personal differ: ences soon became so acute between the Kaiser and the Prince of Wales (late Edward VII) they formed a subject of a memorandum written by Bismarck for presentation to Lord Salisbury in which among other things the complaint' was made that "the Prince~txeated 'the Kaiser as an uncle treats a nephew, instead of recognizing that he was an Emperor who, though young, had still been of age some time." The Queen's reply to Lord Salis- bury was full of spirit. "We have always been very inti- mate with our grandson and ne phew, and to pretend that he is to be treated in private as well as in public as 'His Imperial Majesty' is perfect madness. He has been treated just as we should have treated his beloved father and even grandfather, and as the Queen her- self was always treated by her dear uncle King Leopold. If he has notions he had better never come here, "The Queen will not swallow this affront. All this shows a very uns healthy and unnatural' state of mind, and he must be made to feel that his grandmother and uncle will not stand such jnsolence. The Prince of Wales must not submit to such treatment," Lord Salisbury felt so strongly the danger to the good relations ot the two countries when the Empress Frederick was being very harshly treated by her son and Bismarck that he wrote to the Queen that he and the Prince of Wales both thought that it would be prudent to defer the Empress' visit to Eng- land. But the Queen put her foot down: "She has nowhere to go; everyone expects her to come and wonders she has not come' before. It would be no use and only en- courage the Emperor and the Bis- marcks still more against us, You all seem frightened of them, which is not the way to make them bet- ter." Relations improved later, and next year the Queen made her grandson a British Admiral. The Emperor was ecstatic: "Fancy wearing the same uniform as St. Vincent and also Nelson; it is enough to make one quite giddy. 1 feel something like Macbeth must have felt when he was suddenly re- ceived by the witches with the ery: 'All hail, who art Thane of Glamis and of Cawdor." Other lettérs of the period show that the personal relations between the Queen and Prince of Wales (afterwards King Edward) were mellowing: "Dear Bertie: He has many qualities and is such a good son." The Princess of Wales was her favourite. Young Mr, Balfour, soon to be the leader of the House, she finds charming. Sir Charles Dilke she regards as guilty, and the Parnell divorce nauseates her. She is moved to admit the innocent wives who have figured in divorce suits to her Court, although oddly enough, her officials raise objec- tions. It is they and not she who are "Victorian" on this question, Her home life might be that of appears here comprising} "Letters of / any elderly lady. - We find on her birthday a curiously familiar fam- ily exitement and have a pleasant picture of grandchildren trooping into her bedroag and sitting on her bed to say, Many happy returns, Gan-gan." The promotion of Dean Davidson of Windsor her beloved adviser, who is more anxious to have a bish- hoprie than she is to lose him; the attempts to unseat the Duke of Cambridge from hjs control of the Army; the conduct of foreign af- fairs; the cession of Hellogoland to Jermany to which she most relue- tantly consents with gloomy fore- bodings for future troubles and the remark that has is always a bad thing'; her fight for the financial and profes- sional protection of her family, causing her when the promotion of "giving up what one} the Duke of Connaught is in ques- afon to cry that "it is very abomi- nable that the Government, and a so-called Conservative one too, should wish to pander to the Radi- cals"'--these things fill the years, revealing her as still the masterful Minister of State that she had al- ways been growing more Tory and more Imperial as the years pass, | but displaying a mew mellowness and a wider tolerance than hereto- fore. The full savor of these letters, as of the earlier series, is only for those who bring to the book a close knowledge of the men and the events with which the Queen's let ters and journals deal: but even to a youthful reader untroubled by personal memories of the actors of that great day and unburdened by acquired knowledge. of their ac- tions, the collection must be fascin- ating. 400,000 RADIO LICENSES ISSUED Ottawa, Nov. 22.---Radio enter- tainment continues to form one of the popular indoor recreations of Canadians.
