THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17th, 1931 ' Where Oshawa Stands The Toronto Star, in its editorial column, makes an interesting comparison of the cities and towns of Ontario from the stand- point of industrial production and wages. At least, the comparison, which is based on 1929 statistics, the latest available, is high- ly interesting to Oshawa. This city stands eighth in population in the province, yet in industrial _production it ranks third, being passed only by Toronto and Hamilton. Be- hind it in the list are several cities which are much larger, including Ottawa, London, Windsor, Kitchener and Brantford, show- ing that, for its size, the city of Oshawa was above the average in industrial activ- ity in 1929. And since all industrial tom- munities have suffered from depression just as Oshawa has done, it is not likely that these positions are greatly changed to-day. The 1929 figures which are quoted by the Star are given as follows: Toronto ..... $593,253,569 Brantford Hamilton .... 197,949,081 Sarnia Oshawa ..... 66,317,911 New Toronto. Walkerville , 64,203,495 Sault S. Marie E. Windsor , 59,617,888 Windsor ..... London .... 50,346,829 Welland Kitchener ,.. 50,314,798 Leaside Niagara F, .. 49,890,515 Guelph Peterbotro .... 37,788,540 St. Catharines 19,645,506 Ottawa ...... 36,098047 Chatham 18,835,937 Strange to say, the statistics for wages and salaries paid in industry finds Oshawa in fifth place, London and East Windsor, behind this city in the total value of manu- factured products, joining Toronto and Hamilton in leading Oshawa in wages and salaries. This does not alter the fact, how- ever, that for its population, Oshawa stands ahead of its own class in the salaries and wages paid out, in the total, to those engag- ed in industry. The classification in this . connection is as follows: -- Toronto ... $133,722929 Windsor pilton 47,535,648 St. Catharines London .... 11,996,633 Guelph E. Windsor .. 11.25.74 Niagara Falls AWA seen ,034, New Toronto , Wa ..... 10,578982 Galt Kitchener ,.. 10,528,382 Sarnia Walkerville .. 9,917,274 Sault Ste Marie Brantford 9,689,185 Stratford ',.... Peterboro 6,140,108 Welland ...., There is a significance to this * which should be kept in mind. It shows that Oshawa is more highly organized for indus- try, and has greater industrial possibilities than many of the cities which exceed it in and population. At the present time, industrial activities are suffering from a temporary eclipse, but it. is satisfying to know that Oshawa is well equipped to take advantage of a return to normal conditions, and when that time comes, this cjty should be well able to maintain its proud position as the third manufacturing city in the pro- Vince of Ontario. ... $35,394,506 i a Sponsoring Good Roads { Next week the Canadian Good Roads As- fation will hold' its 'eighteenth annual nvention at Lucenne-in-Quebec. There are few associations in this country which ~ have so much reason to feel proud of, its achievements as has this body. When it was organized eighteen years ago, there were few good roads in Canada. Motordom in its infancy, and Canada was not yet wheels. Yet those men who sponsored association had vision and foresight. y saw the future which was ahead of 1e horseless age, and they could for- see that the growth of this form of trans- portation would require the creation of a etwork of good roads covering the Domin- i. And so they organized, carried on A ding the or improv ighways, d impressing on the governments ' Canada the need for such roads. loday one sees on every hand the fruit pir: labors. Canada now has thousands 'miles of first-class highways, travelled pearly by millions of motorists, and adding greatly tothe wealth of the country. For this condition, the Good Roads Association an claim a large share of the credit, for tis body has done much to keep the gov- nments reminded of the needs for highs ays, and to lead the way in stimulating nd. , encouraging interest in first-class as. eo There is still work for the association to however, and for that reason the con- gntion of next week should be a meeting of at interest and importance. Thé pro- ram is impressive, and it is encouraging #0 note that recommendations for highway safety have a prominent place in the dis- thssions. Now that the roads are here, suet be made safe for those who use id in making this one of its major "Good Roads As- - a Ld ¥ 'not create prosperity. sociation is living up to the task which it took upon itself when it was organized eighteen-years ago. Meeting Truck Competition The express companies operating in Can- ada are determined not to allow all their business to fall into the hands of truck own- ers, and to this end they have announced a cut in rates to compete with those now charged by the truck operators. This is a move in the right direction, and one which Ne believe should have been taken befqre this. The express companies are asking that truck operators carrying express should be compelled to file a copy of their tariffs with the Railway Board. Rates charged by ex- press companies have always been an open book and it is only fair that their competi- tors should be compelled to follow suit. With so many truck operators in the bus- iness, it is possible for all of them to have different rates, and to cut the price at any time to meet competition of companies shipping express over the railways. This undoubtedly is the chief factor in getting business for truck operators. The railways of Canada derive a great deal of revenue from hauling express, and if a reduction of rates will meet truck com- petition and bring back the business form- erly sent all over Canada by rail, the rail-" ways will welcome the increased revenue.

Other Editor's Comments THE FUTURE OF CANADA (London Times) The farmers, upon whose prosperity is built the prosperity of the West, and, indeed, of the whole of Canada, are feeling the pinch of 'bad times, and despondent voices are heard regretting that the re- duced income of the country has been so heavily moragaged, But that--like the depression--is a temporary phenomenon. The Western Provinces will recover from their present setback, and may well be the more. prosperous in the end for the les- sons learned durigg their time of adversity, Few countries have a more assured or a brighter future than the Dominion, which, with its ten million popu- lation, already holds so high a place among the : ~ nations.

But in the end the manufacturer, the worker, the wholcsaltr, and the retailer must carry 'the responsibility on their shoulders. Leave government to the Govern- ment, They are quite adequate to the present em- ergency.. As for the rest of us, let us get on with our jobs--and begin today. BITS OF HUMOR The question was put in an examination for the army: "Does anyone in the class know how a fly 'eats >" A cadet replied: "Like an elephant, but not quite as much." Human intelligence appears to have devoted itself » equally to perfecting police: equipment for appre- hending criminals, and to improving legal equipment for getting them acquitted.--"San Diego Union."

"Well, constable," said the magistrate, "what is the accused charged with?" : "He's a camera fiend of the worst type, sir," said i the constable, "and--' "But surely," interrupted the magistrate in. sur- rise---- "surely you didn't arrest this man simply ecause he had a mania for taking pictures?" "Oh, no, sir!" exclaimed the witness. "It isn't the pictures that he takes--it's the cameras!" "A dinner never looks its best on paper," main- tains a menu expert. 'Most people prefer it on a plate.

Then again a low error that can be overcome is more likely to cause a noticeable strain than a higher fault that cannot be over- come by strain.

Many others will not. experienced in early life. Exces- give overflow of tears may be no- t:ced. There may also be inabili- ty to concentrate the mind on reading ete. The person may be- come sleepy. Some of these may vary in their degree of discom- fort in the individual but relief in any case regardless of age wlil be appreciated. Even though not expected, eyestrain is often a cause of your trouble. I carred hood to advanced age and wish to emphasize again that many of the symptoms of eyestrain tie same in the child as in the patient of more Mature years. (To be continued) my old friend, Major MacDonnell, in Hawaii. The letter had been forwarded to me from home, and I learned that he was spending two months leave at la Jolla, pronounced La "Hoya" The Jewel--situated on the ocean, 11 miles north of San Diego. The Major was so enthusiastic about La Jolla 1 decided to accept his invitation to visit him there. Arriving by motor, after a most interesting trip along miles of scenic ocean highway, I found that we had reached La Jolla la- ter than planned and engaged rooms at the Colonial Hotel, Mrs were soon. lulled to sleep by the waves caressing the moonlit sands, The Colonial Hotel is the hub around which everything in La Jolla revolves. We wondered why, until the next morning, then we understood. The Colonial is more than just a Hotel; it is a rendezvous for worth-while peo- ple from all parts of the world. We found among the guests and residents of La Jolla, Walt Mason, famous for his rollicking rhymes; Mr, Shuman, prominent Ft, Worth, Texas, newspaper man; G, H. Carnahan, of the Continental Rubber Company; Anna Mae Wong, Victor McLaglen, several moving picture directors, all en- joying physical, mental and spir- ftual relaxation, which no other town supplies in greater abund- ance. Major MacDonnell kindly intro- duced us to Roscoe C, Bulger, president and general manager of the Colonial Hotel, who showed us about the town of La Jolla. We found it lovely and more charm- ing than the Major had described it, with its miles of silver beaches, its yacht and country elubs, nest- ling under fhe shadow of Mt. Soledad, miles of paved streets bordered by Oleanders, Hibiscus, Cypréss and Royal Palms, and hundreds of beautiful homes that seem to say to the visitor, "Come in and rest awhile; we are glad you are here!" £ Families of means have been going to La Jalla for years, and many retired men of wealth have built beautiful homes where they spend the year in a marvelous cli- mate summer and winter, THE FRIENDLY AND CORDIAT, PEOPLE OF LA JOLLA ARE PROUD OF THEIR TOWN AND JUSTLY S80. : "Beauty should make way for age," said the workgirl in the tram as she offered her seat to an elderly woman. "It would take some spectacles to see the beauty, my dear," was the rather ungracious reply. "Perhaps. But not to see the age, ma."

Rea, has p:en well received by critics and pub- lic. "It is true, as Mr. Rea said at the fall of the curtain, that this early comedy of Mr. Cow- ai1d's bears no marks of age," TLe Times says: "What weak- resses it has are not the weak- presses it has are not 'yeaknesses vf fashion, its humor having that pleasant challenge and impu- dence which belong not to a par- ticular season but to Mr. Coward himself and to no other.

Dr. Lokrantz, used to Califor nia, could not stand Montreal's Leat. "We have as high a tempera- {ure as this, but we do not have vour humidity," he exclaimed az he mopped his brow repeatedly. He took off his coat apologet- iczlly and then put on a light lin- en smock. Still the heat seemed to bother him. Dr.<Lokrantz told of plans for tke forthcoming Olympic games and said he wanted it particularly mentioned that his first assistant and his medical confidant in many matters, was an ex-Montreal boy, 'Dr. C. Morley Sellery. "I think very highly of him," he sald. Perhaps the most interesting thing about the coming Olympic games is that all the contestants will liva together in Olympic Vil- lage, 'a specially created place for the games. The athletes of all the different countries will be pres- ent "They will all have the bene- fit of their own native cooking. I'r. Lokrantz will see to that. The English will have their heef- steak and the Swedes their fruit soup. Every nationality will have the kind of cooking and food it is used to. More than that, Dr. Lokrantz will encourage inter-change of visits to the var- lous mess tents. "I would like to see the ath- letes get the other fellow's view- point," he said. "After all, the Olympics are not for the mere dragging away cf a few medals and prizes. A country should not boast of its wins, but of its fine contingent of manhood and womanhood pre- sent, Their health, their vigor, is the thing." "I would like to nave a chat with your Canadian Olympic au- thorities--I wonder if they would care to look me up.

Dr. Lokrantz is another ver- sion of the immigrant boy who made good, and it is a far cry | from the Swedish boy who land- ed in Boston with a few dollars in his pocket to the eminent sav. ant who numbers among his per- sonal friends the King of Sweden. Briefly, Dr. Lokrantz has two extremely important jobs; .as far as Canadians are concerned. The [irst is that he is a medical direc- tor for the Los Angeles public schools, which institutions have more corrective physical educa- tion gymnasiums than all the rest of the United States combined. The second is that he is medical director for the coming Olympic games to be held in Los Angeles in 1932. Travelling Clinics Dr. Lokrantz did not want to talk very much about his part in building better health for Los An- geles school children, but he had some clippings with him that ferreting California newspaper- men had written about his work and these indicated what won- derful things Dr. Lokrantz has done at the coast. No fewer than 25,000 children are getting cor- rective treatment every day through the various "L.A." elin« ice. Dr. Lokrantz has organized travelling clinics, huge hospitals on wheels that are constantly re- guisitioned in aiding the vigorous health campaign, the Swedish American doctor is waging.
