Saal - MONDAY, NOVEMBER 16th, 1931 The Need is Great In asking that the citizens of Oshawa subscribe a sum of $30,000 for the funds of the Associated Welfare Societies, the com- ++. mittee in charge is convinced that it is not «+ "asking a cent too much. Before this objec. , itive was set, careful thought was given to the tremendous needs of the community. It was felt that, based on the experience of the last twelve months, it would take at least $75,000, and probably more, to see 'the families of the unemployed through the coming winter, and the problem was how ge make sure of that amount. "Fortunately, the provincial and dominion governments solved the problem, and en- * _s=abled the objective to be set at $30,000. By ¥ |" will each contribute dollar for dollar for all € & the promise that these two governments Uxelief expenditures by the Associated Wel- fare Societies, there came an assurance that the total of $75,000 could be made available for local relief. , Every cent of this sum, it is estimated, will be required. It rests with the citizens .. of Oshawa who can afford to give to make %5 certain that it will be available, The con- tributions of the governments do not in any «i 'way lessen the responsibilities which rest ".. upon the citizens who have not suffered, ~~. but who are in a position to help their less *== fortunate fellow-citzens. "By reaching the objective of $30,000, .. these citizens will make it possible for the «uu» Associated Welfare Societies to carry on ... work on a scale in proportion to the need which exists. One has only to consult Miss Jackson, the social service worker, of the officers or the organization to realize how great is that Need, and to be convinced that . now, as never before, those who are in a position to give should give generously, so " "hat the need can be fully met. ; Doubling Your Wealth Governor Stanley C. Wilson, of the state of Vermont, puts forward a suggestion whereby the wealth of a family can be doubled very easily.* As he says, this may sound like the statement of a stock sales- © man of a year or two ago, but in his ex- VE tion his idea is shown to be quite ical. Wealth, of course, is a relative . A man on a desert island with a Smillion dollars in gold would quickly starve to death. On the other hand, a man with little money, but with health, a happy and comfortable home, and the esteem of his associates, can be counted rich. So he sug- : that if a family can secure twice as ¥ Saku 'much in living comfort on the came income before, that is equivalent to the doubling 'wealth. Then he goes on to propound Shis theory as follows: "A family can live much more cheaply in Sthe country than in the city. Comfortable with lawn and garden can be bought or rented for less than half city prices. : This leaves more money for clothes, food, magazines, books, radio and auto- bile and other things that most class as pessaries or semi-necessaries. "In the country nobody considers manual or demeaning, The wife is the house- just as the husband is a worker. are bought to wear and not to dis- few times. There is a wide spread en city and eountry prices for milk, meats, vegetables and' other farm Pn Slot] ef 'A man and wife with an annual income $500 to $1000 a year can live comfort- d Fespieta y in the country. With ne of $1000 to $2000 in the country can be comfortably well off, if you want to double your wealth, 'the country. In addition to finan- rment, you will fad real neighbors, tho will really care for you." 'have the recipe for doubling \ we pass it on for what it is those who might find it interest.

James Watt, inventor of the steam engine, was the butt of his playmates at Mr. McAdam's school. so stupid in school that his parents took him out. - From this we gather that parents make a grave mistake when they discourage their children because of inability to master certain subjects. The all-important thing is to see that the children put forth earnest efforts. Footpaths on the Highways (Montreal Press) Two juries in Brantford and Toronto un- animously recommended the construction of footpaths alongside the highways as a means of avoiding accidents and traffic fa- talities. The recommendation would mean an increase of extraordinary expenses, but the juries are of the opinion that they are justified and necessary for the purpose of safeguarding human lives and protecting motorists themselves against the many dangers which they cannot always avoid when they meet people on the road. If the roads had any kind of footpath at all along- side them, the responsibiiity of people driv- ing motor cars or heavy lorries would ob- viously be less great, whilst pedestrians would not have as many risks to encounter. Editorial Notes Despite all our worries, the world seems to run along while we sleep. Some of the alleged "big shots" in busi- ness never did much in the Great War.

The number of instruments distributed, at the begifining of the first half-year, is 103,265 as compared with 96,990 for the whole of last year, These figures do not accord well with the lamentations with which the press has bee led at this time of crisis . . . unless it means that people of Quebec, economizing on all sorts of other costly amusements, motor trips, voy- ages by boat, etc, have adopted the radio as the source of their distractions, One thing is certain that the manufacturers and distributors of radios have nothing to complain about in the difficult per- iod we are going through.

RECORD, SAYS: DI RRE That loyalty to one's commun- ity means much more than a spec tacular display of the virtue without the spirit to apply it in a substantial way, Your chances for Increasing your business or your salary or your wages depend upon the growth. of your community, and growth depends upon making your community worth while. The greatest drawback any com- munity can have is the parasite who is unwilling to do his share and sits back smugly, profiting by what the boosters do. This selfish, miserly class ex- ists in every ci§y and town, It is to be found in the Chambers cf Commerce -- men who pay their annual dues but who beg off when committee assignments are made, when they are called upon to make some sacrifice of time and energy for the common good, It is fortunate that in most communities there is an un- selfish, patriotic class of people who realize their individual re- sponsibility and put their shoul- ders to the wheel. They stand out in marked contrast with the slackers, On a par with the Chamber of Commerce shirker is the resl- dent who stabs the home mer chant in the back," in a business sense, by making his purchases elsewhere, The average visitor estimates the size and prosperity of a city or town largely by what he sees in the stores.

OLD VESSEL GOES TO JUNK PILE Steamer Prince George Makes Last Voyage From Halifax Halifax, N.S.-- The steamer Prince George, which has plied the waters between Boston, Mass, and Yarmouth, N.8, dur- ing most of the last thirty-two years, was towed out of Yar- mouth Harbor recently by the tug Charles P. Greenough, "Old Faithful" was on her last voy- age, bound. for Baltimore to be broken up for junk. In her wake she left memories dear to the hearts to many a Bluenose sail- orman, and one of them wrote his lament in the Digby Courier: "There she goes, mister, There goes the Prince George, in tow like a coal barge, with her paint- work dingy and streaked. and her brass corroded green, just so much steel and {ron for the breakers, And the way I remem- ber her now is as the neatest little lady that tripped coastwise out of Boston. I see her now as I saw her then, sliding down through the harbor traffic, with her flags snapping in the breeze, her two funnels slanted back rakishly, footing it out to the harbor traffic, with her flags snapping in the breeze, her two funnels slanted back rakishly, footing it out to the harbor mouth, to lift to the green Atlan- tic rollers that she tramped down day after day year in and year out, F ; dirs funny about ships, mi Wark aboard awhile, and you'll get to know her, all her little ways and styles, her quirks and whimsies, Yes, sir, I've worked on plenty of them. Winter and summer théy've carried me along to many a strange, new porf. No, it's not the same to buy a ticket and bring your baggage aboard to a stateroom, You don't get to know the boats that way, not the warm friendly way I mean, "When you work on a packet you belong to her. The passen- gers come aboard, and promen- ade up and down the deck, and *lyou look at them kind of super- forlike and smile to yourself, as it you knew just what it was that was making them excited, and couldn't tell them, not even if you wanted to. And you listen to them talking of the trips they've taken before; of this ship and that, and of the accom- modations, and which was a good sea boat and which wasn't, You listen to them, and smile to your- self some more, knowing that you know something they couldn't know, Darling of Them All "Yes, sir, I've known a lot of ships, but somehow the George was the darling of them all Maybe it's because the George and I have a lot in common one way and another. The George was the summer ship for a lot of us chaps. Most of us used to ship on southbound packets in the winter, But summer would see us back, We'd gather at nights between decks, with the water sliding past just below the open cargo ports and we'd talk about where we'd been last winter. Maybe ong would tell about run- ning up the Amazon to Manaos. And listening, the rest of us would feel the jungle about us, and smell the hot, steamy alr, and hear the rustle of foliage that grew like a wall along the river. Another one would be tell- ing about Rio, or Buenos Alres, or about going ashore in Port Limon, or Santa Marta, And while we talked we'd all he glad to be back on the George again with the crew we knew, "1 remember once 1 was walk- ing down the gangplank of a Red D liner, not thinking about any- thing in particular, with the sun- shine flooding down warm and pleasant the way it does along the waterfront: on a spring morning, with the smell of the sea drifting waterfront on a spring morning, with the smell of salt drifting up, all mixed with a flavor of tar, and cordage, and the fruit from the dock next but one, and hearing the screaming of the gulls in the harbor, and the slap, slap of water against the piles, when I heard some- thing hail me. "I looked down, and there on the dock I saw Jimmy Austin, leaning against a bollard, looking up at me, with the sun on his face, making his eves gleam under the shadow of his hat, and below the shadow of the smiling friendliness of his lips. 'The George is pulling out on the summer run next week,' he shouted. Just that, and no more, but he kept his eyes on me as he smiled. And I knew that I'd made my last trip south for that year. "That summer the World War broke out, and after the season was over Jimmy and I went into the Army. I remember one day a couple of years after, that Jimmy and I were in Southamp- ton harbor, aboard a channel packet bound for France. It was a gray day, a dismal, lead-col- ored sort of day. It was raining out of a heavy sky into a sea of soupish, greenish-gray, The ships in the harbor were painted war-time gray, and the buildings we could see were gray-brown and dull in the rain. Leaning against the rail, thinking abou the line that we were going back to, our thoughts took on a hue dke the day, and the ships and the sky line. Canada and the United States were far away, as dimly and faintly far as an- other planet, "Suddenly Jimmy gripped my arm, 'Look,' he sald excitedly. look at the deck across the way.' "I looked, and there was the George. She was painted gray for war work, for footing it back and forth across the channel, but gray paint couldn't hide her from old friends like Jimmy and me. We didn't say a word, but just leaned far over the rail and stared. And as I gazed the George wasn't painted gray any more, I could see her deck houses gleaming white, and the gay shine of brass around her port holes. I could see the Custom House tower beyond,, could hear the shouts of the excursionists on the Dorothy Bradford, and the screaming of the gulls in the sun- shine. "When I looked at Jimmy he was smiling the way he had smiled up at me that day as I stood on the gangplank of the Red D liner, Like An Old Friend \"All 1 said was, 'The George over here, too! Imagine that! It was like meeting an old friend. The rakish tilt of her funnels was like a jaunty friendly ges- ture, cheering and heartening. After that the day wasn't gray any more, and Canada and the United States were just across the harbor, "Yes, mister, it's funny about ships. .You don't think of them as you do about places or buildings, but more as you would about people you've met, and they're all tied up in your thoughts with the things you've learned from them. "There was one night on the George that I woke up to hear two men talking. They were deep in a learned argument about some work of art that had been mentioned in the newspaper that day. Listening I couldn't under- stand why such men were there he George, Next day Jimmy ld me one of the chaps EE other an unfrocked clergyman. The Oxford man washed dishes for a living, the clergyman wait- ed on table. Out along Atlantic Avenue in those days stood a row of saloons, one at the head of almost every dock. Because the saloons were there the Oxford man washed dishes and - the clergyman was a waiter, "The Avenue has changed a lot since then. The saloons are gone, and yW'll find few Ox- ford men washing dishes, or ex- clergymen waiting on table. May- be that's why I don't feel so bad- ly to see the George out there on the end of a tow rope. She's going out to make a place for the fine, new boat that tied up 2t the dock. The George belongs to the old days and the old days have gone . "So they are towing the Prince George to the bréakers, mister. There she goes, with her paintwork streaked and dingy, and the rust thick on her sides. They'll break her up, but she'll sail on just the same, Chaps like Jimmy Austin and myself will never see the best of her vanish- ed. We'll ship out on the new packet, maybe, and smile when we hear the passengers talking about thé George, about what a good sea boat she was, or how much faster and better this new one is. And we'll smile, just the same, kind of superforlike, be- cause we know what it is they feel aboard ship. But we couldn't tell them even if we wanted to. For them the George is broken up, Jimmy Austin and [I can build it again any time we want to.--~B.B.F."
