H THURSDAY, FEBRUARY, 5, 1081 HASTY JUDGMENT UNWIS \ Although no definite details are forth- ing, it is apparent from the meetings ch are being held that a deal is under to have submitted to the ratepayers of wa the question of the sale of the gas to private interests, and the terms on h this private company shall be granted nchise. It is understood, in fact, from @marks which were made at the council meeting on Monday last, that a vote of the payers on these questions is likely to be in the near future. Meanwhile, although there is no full and €o aplete' information available, meetings of * atepayers have been discussing the matter, d very definite pronouncements against a have been made by individual members these organizations. It may be that these ftepayers are opposed to the principle of Selling a public utility to private interests, and they ave, of course, perfectly within their rights in pressing as strong views as they please on the subject, But, when it © comes to the practical problem of whether or not the Oshawa gas plant is to be sold or , and on what terms, it might be the bet- ter part of wisdom to defer judgment until = all the cards are on the table. No person can give an intelligent decision on the sub- ; until the terms of the sale and (ranchise fully revealed, as they will hive to be. 'Fhe ratepayers' associations are appar- in earnest in their desire to discuss question, and we would suggest that the i way in which this could be done would by inviting those public servants who are a { fouch with the situation and in possession | 'all the facts to dttend their meetings, place the facts before them, and use these | a8 a basis on which to arrive at a satis- pry eonclusion. Hasty judgments, in a gtter of this kind, are hardly dependable, id the ratepayers should take advantage of opportunity, when the proper time of becoming as fully informed as pos- on the project, so that the vote on the ws which will be presented will be based a thorough knowledge of all the facts and stances. A PROJECT FOR 14. Last fall, when thé Oshawa Board of park commissioners was making extensive erations at Alexandra Park, with a view ing it into a modern athletic field, The suggested that one of the essentials of project was the provision of dressing accommodation, It seems to us then, t does now, that it was rather a short- ted proceeding. to provide a modern cin- ; k, baseball field and football and rug- fleld, and to overlook the essential feat- of dressing rooms, pw another year has rolled around. Soon 'ootball; baseball and lacrosse season will re, and the teams representing Oshawa be using the park. The question which interested in amateur sports are ask- i8 whether dressing rooms are to be pro- ed, or whether the same old makeshift is are to be provided. In past years, the "C.A. has been available for out-of-town 8, but with that building closed up, here is no place left for them, and Oshawa "ia lable to be branded as a city which is not ciently interested in its sporting organi- pas tc provide dressinggrooms. he provision of ace need not be an expensive matter.

The tell ing evidence presented of the fact that most industrial accidents are by the care nade an impression, and it is to be hoped that the impression will be lasting, and will make itself felt in a practical way. Constant education in accident prevention, seems to be necessary to secure permanent results, and for that reason it is hoped that Monday night's safety meeting will not mean the end of a task, but rather the beginning of a program with a definite aim of giving Osh- awa a clean industrial accident record for many weeks and months to come, od EDITORIAL NOTES The progress that is being made with the new Coulter factory is gratifying. When it starts operations, prividing employment for. 100 men, it will help to improve employment conditions, : The General Motors Auditorium will pro. vide a splendid setting for the eonvention of the Canadian Legion, and Oshawa is fortun- ate in having so splendid a hall available for such an occasion, In these days of rapid weather changes, one never knows whether to make provision for snowshoes or an umbrella. The value of immunization against con- tagious disease is becoming rhore and more recognized. There were times when a couple of cases of scarlet fever in a community would have been enough to start an epidemic. Canadians will sympathize with New Zealand in the suffering caused by the earth- quake disaster there--and will be more than ever thankful that they live in Canada.

(Copyright, 1928) MUSCLE STRAIN -- PART TWO While it is true that some of the causes conducive to errors and irregularities today have been handed to us as a heritage, it is only too evident that an ever in- creasing number far in advance ot the hereditary cases are the fruits of our actions and of actions made necessary by civilization. '"'Some pooculiarities may be not. ed and interpreted. For instance indirect vision, evidence or. a change in the fleld due to irregular functioning of certain muscles. This condition was no doubt start. ed as In many cases by suppression momentarily unnoticed in the be- ginning, but as each subsequent moment of suppression was suc periods of suppression become of greater duration until finally the vision was completely subme: ges. And even if in its dovelopment it were successful, vision could oaly be gained step by step as it was lost, the periods of development only being a matter of regaining by development what was lost pro- vided nature would permit. Bome organs whose powers of function- Ing are allowed to lapse, after a period of years will not return without new troubles coming with them. : It may also be tho cause of an al- ternating suppression which is like the condition just explained except that the periods of suppres- sion alternate, first one eye and then the other. { To be continued) secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, who is trying to bring one into being in the city.

County councillors in many counties are seeking ways in which to economize. But we have not noticed any of them willing to re- duce the rate for "time and mileage." Oshawa, with two undefeated O.H.A, teams, should be just a little more partial to the amateur brand of hockey. Other Editors' Comment WHAT INDUSTRIAL LEADERS MUST SOLVE (Kitchener Record) iui there should be iil SO many cons It is an anomalous situation t hard. times when there is shifyit moditics. Probably wheat ada and other important ing countries are con with the problem ui disposing of their surpluscs while in some sections of thé globe the surpluses could be wed nigh absorbed if the people possessed the purcla power. We have reached the stage where w oduce in sufficient quanti= ties under favorable conditions for all peoples of the world but there 1s 4 cou niissing in the distribution end. Docior John A Kian im Khe Commonwealth states this phase of the difficulty very clearly when he writes: "The general fact of the situation is that our industries can produce sufficient necessaries and comforts to provide more than a decent livelihood for our people, and in addition are capable of mrning out La vast amount of luxuries, + In the existing system, distribution is effected through wages and prices. In order to bring about a more general distribution of » goods, we must have a wider distribution of purchas- ing power. © If this redistribution of Juichasing power cannot be effected in the present industrial system, then the system is vitally defective and the sooner we realize it the better. The co-existence of the ability to produce more goods than the people need and the inability of te to obtain the necessaries of life, constitute a challenge to industrial leadership which cannot safely be ignored." BITS OF VERSE IF WE ONLY UNDERSTOOD If we knew the cares and trials, Knew the efforts all in vain, And the bitter disappointment, Underdtood the loss and gain Would the grim, eternal roughness Seem~1 wonder--=just the same ? Should we help where now we hinder. Should we pity where we blame? ample. Can Ah, we judge each other harshly, . Knowing not life's hidden force Knowing not the font of action Is less turbid at its source; Secing not amid the evil All the golden grains of good; And we'd love each other better 1f we only understood. Could we judge all deeds by motives That surround each other's lives, See the naked heart and spirit, Know what spur the action gives, Often we'd find it better, Purer thatt we judge. we should, We should love each other better 1i we only understood. ~Rudyard Kipling. 2 »| NESS, CONFDENOR IN THEM. | ter Carnival . opening February 7, | «LING IS A BER.
