If one thing stood out above all others at the re-organization meeting, Wl it was the apparent desire of all the mer- I 'chants present to co-operate in order to 'promote the general good of all, I There are some saliant facts which | lought to be emphasi¥ed as arising from the 'revival of this body, Oshawa, as a trading centre, possesses certain advantages which should be exercised to the limit of their possibilities, This city is the logical centre for a large and rich trading area, It has splendid highways leading into it from all directions. It can draw on a large popula- tion for support, Unfortunately, this city has not been securing its share of the trade which should come from that district. We say this in all kindliness, but there has not been sufficient effort made to impress upon "the people from the rural areas that Osh- awa is their logical marketing centre, There is not sufficient concentration on the idea 'that, by making rural people feel that they Py "are really welcome in the city, by making it known to them that they can shop more advantageously here than anywhere else, "business in Oshawa will benefit, There are ways and means of creating * this much-desired condition, It should be . one of the duties of the officers of the i Retail Merchants' Association to explore "these ways and means, and toe develop { avery possible avenue of stimulating inter- Lat in this city's advantages as a commun- ty shopping centre. Doubtless the new cers, who are known as men of aggres- Ave ideas, will devote their attention ser- '* ously to this problem, A virile organiza "Jon of retail merchants can be a worth. © yhile community asset, and we look to the . | 'pe-organized body to be active and progres- 'sive in raising Oshawa to the place which I © % should occupy as a real trading centre L | lor the whole district surrounding the city. ------------ Cause for Complaint tL Rev. 8. C, Jarrett has good cause for the '4 somplaint which he voiced in The Times © yesterday against the action of the city E¥ souncil in reducing the expenditures for Juvenile court purposes, In the case of | 'this institution the council has gone far beyond reason in its reduction of salaries. ." There would have been little or no objec- | tion to making the juvenile court judge "and its probation officer, A. W, L. Smith, subject to the same scale of reduction as other civic employees, but reductions of 83 1.8 per cent in one case and 50 per cent in the other are instances of economy run- ning riot, The city council, apparently, fails to poreciate the importance of juvenile court "work, both from the standpoint of saving Oshawa children from wandering into lives 0! of crime, and from the standing of the i material saving to the community which is ected by its operations. The trouble, perhaps, is that it has been doing its work tly and effectively, without shouting L from the housetops about its activities, 'and so the average alderman knows very about what it is doing, It is natural course, that juvenile court work should done quietly, because much of its value in the fact that its work is protected ainst publicity. But it is unfortunate t, because of ignorance of what it is g, the city council should make it the hject of unreasonable financial economies, It is always possible to reconsider deci ng, Really big men are always willing amend wrongs which they have done. s is a case in which reconsideration is sirable, so that painstaking and worth- hile service may be recognized, &fid so t an institution which is a wonderful for good in the community shall not unduly penalized by the actions of men p apparently do not understand its func Means Much to Canada a EEN W. C. Herring, general sales manager of General Motors of Canada, Limited, gave some striking figures regarding the value the automobile industry to Canada in an dress to a Montreal service club the other round figures, he said, it represents re men of close to $100,000,000, \ with an annual payroll of some $27,000. In Canada alone, $100,000,000 were spent in the purchase of materials, while the federal and provincial governments secured from it approximately $43,000,000 a year in revenues. An industry of that magnitude means much to this country, It means much to the Communities where it happens to have units located, It means investments which help to build up the value of the commun- ity, It means employment to provide for the families of the community, It means the possibility of allied industries, which in turn are benefitted by the main industry. These are factors which make their influ- ence felt, not only in community life, but also in the lives of thousands of individual citizens, for the industry, as .a whole, throughout Canada, provides work for close to 150,000 people. This is the industry which is even yet in its infancy, and which has yet great poten- tialities for development when prosperity returns in full measure, and the tide of in- coming population for Canada is resumed. It must be remembered that Canada, as yet, has but a bare scattering of people, averaging its population over the whole country, The future years are sure to bring a great influx, to bring the popula- tion of the country up to many times its present figure, And, as the population of the Dominion grows, so the motor industry will grow with it, and those places which are dependent upon it will benefit in pro- portion to the expansion which it enjoys. Editorial Notes If the city council succeeded in its inten- tion of reducing the whole budget.of the city by twenty per cent, how much will the reduction in the mill rate of taxation amount to?

Now they drive to her home, honk several times and take her to a pic- ture show,--Cass County Democrat, The Royal Canadian Mounted Police, hunting for a murderer in the north, are living up to the old tradition of "The Mounties get their man," Sunday radio advertising is being con. demned by church bodies, There is no reason why the radio should be allowed privileges which are denied to the much older-established business of advertising. A study of the figures published in last night's issue of The Times shows that, al- though the® spread of price between the producer and consumer of milk appears to be great, there is not much margin to work on when one considers the service which has to he given by the retailer to get the product into the home of the consumer. | Other Editor's Comments 'U, 8, A. AND REPARATIONS (Kingston (Jamica) Gleaner) America is standing out; she says she wants her money, France, a country selfish enough in all con- science, hut apparently now realizing the facts of a desperate situation, retorts that she will give. up nothing if America is to give up nothing but is to continue to bleed Europe as she has done these many years. We are afraid that one cannot blame France for feeling this way, and we suppose that the end of it will be a German repudiation of repara- tions, followed by a polite refusal of the rest of Europe to go on handing out money to America until Germany changes her attitude, Thus the Amerean policy will bring not a penny into the American coffers, while it certainly will not matter twopence to any European country what America may think of Europe or of the smallest of European countries BITS OF HUMOR "Young man," said the city merchants severely, "I notice that you are almost invariably from ten to twenty minutes late in getting to the office!" i hy sir, replied the, youth, "but you seem to set such a small value on my time that I didn't think it mattered much," answered the young man, Sez 'Hugh: What kind of a pistute you make de- pends on your frame of mind Sexi: But even a picture gets hooked, HE WINS THE PRIZE "Jones always strikes me as an indolent sort of chap." .
