Tresidder, representative: THURSDAY, MARCH 26, 1981 ' KEEPING FAITH © The Utilities Power and Light Corpora- tion has lost no time in its effort to keep . faith with the people of Oshawa. The ar- rival in the city yesterday of two of its gas engineers indicates that the company is in real earnest in its desire to have the Osh- awa Gas plant and distribution system es- tablished on a sound basis with the least possible delay. It will take these engineers "alittle time, of course, to reach their final "decisions as to the work to be done, but the: fact that they are here, and are at work, - preparing the final plans, should be suffi- dient to indicate to the citizens of Oshawa that they were not being misled by wild promises during the campaign prior to the passing of the gas bylaws. The Utilities Power and Light Corporation is committed | to the service of the people of Oshawa, and there 'ean be no doubt that the city will ben- efit in a substantial way from the employ- ment which will be created in the near fu- ture by its operations. £ - UNFAIR TO THE BRITISH YOUTHS Our attention was arrested the other day by an advertisement in an English maga- zine known as "Our Empire," this magazine, incidentally, being the official organ of the British Empire Service League. The adver- tisement was inserted by the Cunard Steam- ship Company, and, among other things, it 'said: "Youth Wanted for Canada . . .. Free Ocean Passages . . . Free Training . . . Assured Employment." The: Cunard: Steamship Line, of course, is in the transportation business, and it is out to' secure passengers for its ships. Yet it, hardly seems fair to the British youths to: tempt. them with advertisements of this kind. The notice, probably, refers to farm employment, but it does not say so, and the promise of "assured employment" is quite ly to deceive many young men into seek- a place in the Canadian labor market. he present is no time to'encourage young in to come to Canada in search of employ- t. We understoed that the policy of the ddpartment of immigration at this time was tad discourage immigration as much as possi- ble, until conditions in their country warrant further activity in this direction. It would be'interesting to know, then, just what the department has. to say regarding this braz- . en advertisement. If employment can be red to young men from Great Britain, why can it not be assured to the thousands of Canadian young men who are at the pre- fj time out 'of employment? That is a ent question, and oné which should be answered by the Canadian authorities which are permitting such advertisements to ap- pear. in British publications. : | + A TOURIST RECORD : a's popularity as a holiday ground for United States motorists has apparently not been affected a great deal by last year depression. The federal department of trade and commerce has just issued a report on the tourist traffic entering Can- ada last year, and it shows that, instead of being halted by. the hard times, tourist tra- "vel into this country actually increased dur- g the year. ; he records for motor visitors to Canada 'are divided into three classes. In the first class, those whose stay. in the country did t exceed 24 hours, the number for 1930 4,110,100, as compared to 3,416,588 in D, 56 who stayed for a period less sixty days' totalled 1,297,030, a sub- al increase over the 1,091,014 who en- réd the year before. And those who stay- pver sixty days and less than six months alled 2,328, nearly double the number of D7 in the same class in 1929, These figurés aré highly interesting in lew of the fact that the general impression t summer was that there had been a de- 2 in tourist traffic. Instead, however, "it increased very substantially, in spite of the, depressed condition of business and the e amount of unemployment in the Unit- 'States; = With eondifions much better, re is every likelihood that efit very substantially from the influx of nited States motorists, Last year the val- ue of tourist business to'Canada amounted ) $280,000,000, according to the depart- ,-and there is every reason, this year .will'be even better, ig' even larger returns to thosc 'the tourist trade than was the er -------------- pg d-- year 1931 ill show even a eter Kgcord han last year and the people of Canada will continue to | ° Lidirect relief. THE BEST SELLERS The best sellers owe their popularity to | continuous advertising. No business con- cern can afford to pass up the opportunity advertising offers to make. faster sales and increase popularity. : The people's needs must be served, and there are business 'concerns - everywhere ready and willing to meet their every want. Those who offer their wares or service through the printed page are the ones the public knows best. People always buy things they know about in preference to those they never heard of. There is always business for those who aggressively go after it by advertising. The fate of many a business is sealed by lack of advertising, their existence being un- known to the buying public.. Continuous advertisers are those who year after year sell to a steadily increasing number of satis- fied customers.

The system which has been carried on to date has cost the city considerably over $50,000 and an equal amount has been contributed by the Federal and Pro vincial Governments. Guelph's share will be made up by the issue of debentures, and the cost of keeping men at work will be distributed over a period of years. . Guelph has done exceedingly well, but the absolute limit has been reached. There is no more money available. The prospect is for a fifty mill tax rate. The Government is distributing no more unemploy- ment funds. It is a very unfortunate situation, and the only consolation lies in the knowledge that no one will be permitted to suffer. It seems that the only means of dealing with the matter now will be by means of 1 It will be costly, but the Government will pay two-thirds of all amouhts in excess of last year's relief figures, and' only those who absolutely need the money will apply. MISPLACED INDIVIDUALS : iE . (Galt Reporter) The misfit or the subnormal individual has come to be a perplexing problem in today's social structure. In former years, when the pace was not so rapid, and when the pressure of earning a living was not so great the misfit and the sub-normal got. along fairly well. Today, however, efficiency has become the keynote, and the individual who can not keep up with his fel- lows usually is left by the wayside. But thousands of persons held to be subnormal are merely wrongly placed in the scheme of things. There are jobs they can do well if they can be found for them. The problem then, is one of adjustment. Much work along these lines is being done in schools. Because a child fails in one department of school work is not accepted as final proof that he is subnormal and a complete failure. In something else he miay succeed notably, Part of every teacher's duty lies in fitting the work to the child as well as fitting the child to the work. More failures in the world can be traced to a poor start than to absolute incompetency on the part of the individual. In every walk of life there are thous- ands of men and women who cannot succeed be- cause they are trying to do something for which they are not fitted. They waste their lives either because they will not quit, vainly hoping that if they keep on plodding and pluging they will win, or be- cause they know not which way to turn. Their plight is something which must be given increased attention by those educational and social agencies that are most concerned with human welfare, BITS OF HUMOR Doctor: "I found the patient to be suffering from abrasion of the cuticle, tumefaction, ecchymosis and extravasation in the integument and cellular tissue about the left orbit!"

Bvery day in every way added evidence can he seen that adver- tised merchandise is enjoying wid- er preference among careful buy- ers. Continuous advertising has de- veloped, is developing and will con- tinue to develop more business than any and all other sales meth. ods ever used or thought of. Advertisements are of deep in- terest to everyone who wants the best at the price. They tell you what is on the market and where to get fit. Advertising creates demand and has a wonderful drawing power. People will go out of the way to buy well advertised lines because they want the best and they know the best is the only kind that can stand the light of advertising. Advertising brings the business to live business concerns. Continuous advertising of qual- ity brings continuous business. CONTINUOUS BUSINESS BRINGS SATISFYING PROFITS. by C. H. Tuck, Opt. D. (Copyright, 1928) Nystagmus Part Four, It Is not definitely known at what particular time the pigment is laid down in the human body but it seems certain that in some it is an- atomically deficient while others born quite fair haired change to darker shades in a few years. It is quite logical then to consider that where the condition would indicate | that the pigment was lacking, a tinted lens would be of material benefit." Child two years of age fair hair- ed not white or flaxen and blue eles given to lateral (horizontal) Ny- stagmus from birth. I tried to avoid glasses until three years of age but in six months time he developed very heavly meibomian crysts which did not go but increased until oper- ated. When the wound was healed 1 examined by static and dynamic skiamentry and corrected a slight amount of Hyperopia and gave a tinted lens and the case quieted down in a few weeks, and now sev- eral months have gone by and the crysts do not recurr and there fs no indication of the Nystagmus, It may be true that the child will grow out of it, if they do there are reasons but the very important one I think lies on the laying down of the pigment cells in the human body. Why take ehe chance? If the person grows to adult life and the percentage of pigment necessary is still anatomically deficient the con. dition may become fixed due to the child having never acquired the fu- sense bec of the Nystagmus creating an 1. or. per effort of fixa- tion.

J. Russell, general manager of the Newfoundland Railway. In a re- cent address Mr. Russell voiced these views, and announced the rail. way's intention of carrying a train across country from St. John's to Port Aux Basgues early in the sum- mer, laden with a hundred people who will spend a week on the jour- ney, inspecting the country's indus- erial possibilities. Mr, Russell pointed out that up to the present time the rallway has had little to do with handling fish, the chief product of Newfoundland, or getting it to market. Since completion of the cross-country railway in 1897 various industries have sprung up, their total value almost equalling that of the fisher- fes. "It is recognized today," he said, "that the deveopment of our fishery has not kept pace with the advance in other major industries + + + Of the tota catch landed oach year it is estimated that not less than one-third of what might be utilized at a profit is thrown away. This cannot continue and we gee signs today of a great change in the old methods of preparing and marketing the catch, and more attention being given to the value of the by-product the aid of refrigeration we see fresh salmon and other fish deliver- ed from the fishing ground to the home of the consumer thousands of miles away in an excellent fresh condition." It had been shown that transpor- tation of fish, fresh meat, or fruit such as blueberries in refrigeration cars was quite feasible. "There appears to be little doubt that with proper research along the lines of improving present methods of re- frigeration, immense benefits will result to our fishermen and busi- ness men. .. . A trainlead of irozen fish, approximate net weight 150,~ 000 pounds, could be moved from the east coast of Newfoundland and delivered in Canada ready for move. ment within thrty-five to forty hours. "The main source of the products from the gen, where not now avail- able for rail transportation should in time be connected with the rail- way by suitable highways so as to enable motor trucks to deliver from the prodncer to the railway termi- nal. 1 have in mind the opening up of settlements on the West and south coasts and great fishing cen- tre like the Straight Shore in Bon- avista North District or the centre touched by the Badger Road to Springdale, In this way our High- way System woud eventually be plenned to he feeders for the rail- way, "Thousands of our people who are now living on the rocky eastern coast could start mixed farming and fruit growing on the fertile section of country stretching from Cook's Brook to St. Andrews. No longer should we continue to send out of the country vast sums for agricul- tural products which can be grown alongside the railway and conveni- ent for distribution to the local market. The railwiy would like to make a start this year and en- courage settlers of this kind."

R. B. LUDY, M.D. business of dodging excise collec- tors. ' Pg Insistent: calls from New York are said of late to have 'taken the most experienced distillers from Connemara, the hills of Donegal and the islands of the Kerry coast, which always have been hotheds of the poteen traffic. Elderly men have continued the industry on a small scale in the de- solate regions but they are not so proficient and are less able to dodge authorities than the younger men. The stills are often hidden in the heart of bogs and camoutlag- ed to represent stacks of turf, The spirits are usually brewed at night while pretty, fleet-footed colleens, well versed in the rugged pathways, keep watch for police and revenue agents. These girls also often act as '"rum-runners," concealing the bottles in a belt around the waist. Towering cliffs which drop a sheer hundred feet sometimes serve as a safe place for a distillery, es- pecially along the rough Donegal roast. Islands off the western Irish coast also are used, but the intervening stretch of water to the mainland is too exposed. Another factor in the decreasing illicit trade is preference vy many customers for beer. Poteen, how- ever, still retains first place among the western seaboard where the hardy fishermen like their liquor "raw." In 1930 there were 570 seizures of poteen. Twenty-five offenders weve sent to prison and 100 fined. CARROTS FOR WINTER USE (Experimental Farms Note) The growing of carrots for table use has become an important branch of vegetable gardening or, better, truck gardening. The de- mand for carrots of fine quality that the housewife, in purchasing vegetables for home use, locks for is becoming greater as the consum- er becomes educated to the various points of quality. It is hoped that the growers will bear in mind that if this demand is to be successfully met they must pay particular atten- tion to the production of a commo- dity that will sell readily, The old and persistent idea of size of root and tonnage pér acre has long since become antiquated and while a crop of fine large carrots looks nice to the grower, this same crop when offered for sale beside carrots of smaller size, with fine quality, will not be found to sell to advantage. Large carrots are in the truest sense coarse, ro#gh and fibrous and only, fit for feeding to live stock. The type of earrot required for cul- inary purposes is one that is of me. dium size, smooth, clean, fine- grained, tender and sweet. Theo soil in which carrots are to be grown should be of a silty,loam or sapdy loam nature that is deep, rich in plant food and with plenty of available moisture. The prac- tice of sowing the carrot seed early in the spring is quite all right for tonnage per acre, or where the roots are to be marketed early in the season, but to obtain carrots of desirable size and quality for win- ter storage and marketing it {is highly important that sowing be de- ferred to the latest possible date. Under Ottawa conditions, with a rich soil and moisture insured by the use of irrigation, the seed has been sown as late as June 20th. In sections where the fall is more open or longer, later sowings can be given and the plants thinned to one and a half or two inches apart. By the middle of October carrots of choice size were obtained that were of the highest quality. The same results could be obtained in many of the market gardens in Can- ada, thus providing attractive care rots for winter market that the consuming: public would buy as quickly as the imported preduct that has little or no competition in the northern markets at tha pres ent time. The varieties that can be used and should be used are Chantenay, Danvers and Nantes. These varie- ties all possess high quality when grown to the proper size, but like all other crops that are let develop beyond the desirable size, cannot be expected to possess the best qua- lity. Let the growers make up their minds to supply the proper type of commodity at the right sea- son and there is little doubt but that the market requirements can be taken care of. The soils and climate of this country can be re- lied upon to produce crops of the right kind if the growers will but employ the right methods.
