TORONTO OFFICE 18 Bound Building, 66 Temperance Street, Tele- phone Adelaide 0107. H. D, Tresidder, repre- sentative, TUESDAY, APRIL 19th, 1932. The New Mayor Thomas Hawkes is the new mayor of Oshawa. Last night the city council] elect- ed him to that honorable position to fill out the unexpired portion of the term of Mayor P. A. Macdonald; who resigned when he was appointed accountant for the public utilities commission. In selecting Ald. Hawkes from their { number to occupy the mayor's chair, the city council made a wise choice. It is im- portant that Mayor Hawkes has the time available to devote to the duties of the of- fice, but that is only a minor considera- tion. In addition to that, Mayor Hawkes has the temperament to make a successful chief executive. His judgment is consider- ed of the soundest. He is not easily stamp- eded, and in his work as alderman he has shown ability to grasp the essential fac- tors in all problems, and to formulate wise policies. As to experience, he has already served his city well, both as member of the board of education and as a memper of the city council. As an alderman for the last three years, he has been very closely in touch with the present problems confronting the city, and he can be depended upon to give sane and sound leadership to the council in this most difficult year. We heartily congratulate Mayor Hawkes on his elevation to that important posi- tion, and, at the same time, sympathize with him in the heavy responsibilities which he will be called upon to carry. J Indispensible to Business "Advertising pays!" That epigrammatic declaration is ques- tioned by no one informed in the history of business and commercial development. It is a statement of fact, obvious and indis- putable. Quality and service have built vast com- mercial and industrial institutions, but with their handmaid, advertising, greater institutions have been built in far less time and at far less cost. Advertising brings buyers and quality ; service and advantage- 'ous price keeps them. It is significant that the makers of those products whose copyrighted names are synonymous with the product itself have all been large-scale advertisers. Making a "better mousetrap" wasn't enough. . What these famous national advertisers have accomplished for the trade names of their products has been done by merchants for their business names. Advertising has made one store synonymous with clothing, another with furniture, another with meats and groceries, and another with music. In every business and community there is some far-seeing and enterprising manu- facturer or merchant who raises his pro- duct and business name above the common level by making advertising work for him. Get Busy or Get Out The death of Gunner Clarence W. Hew- itt, a few hours before favorable decision *in his long-standing claim for pension, draws attention to what is perhaps the most disgraceful known case in the whole picable history of Canada's treatment of er injured ex-soldiers. There have been other cases which have horrified the ordinary people of the coun- try. There was, for instance, the case of Private Tom Payne, whose abdomen had been literally riddled by machine-gun bul- lets--yet who tried without success, year in, year out, to make the Pensions Com- missioners see any - connection between 'wounds in the abdomen and growths in the same wounds in the abdomen, ' There was also the case of Corporal Mc- Quade, whose record of repeated applica- tions, appeals, upsets and delays was equally heartrending. Like Gunner Hewitt, these men had to die before the public Jearned the appalling truth about their treatment. ; Yet, of all the known injustices, the case Gunner Hewitt is perhaps the most sig- nt. For, unlike the other two, he had en insane by his worries " prolonged unem- seething indig- already nears "ie late Gunner Hewitt speaks for itself. He was the son of an English Methodist minister, and came to Canada as a young man. When war broke out he was one of the first to enlist. The country rang with such cries as "Your King and Country Need You Now." Press and pulpit thundered their appeals to patriotism. It was a war to end war--a war to make the world safe for democracy--a war to end injustice and weird atrocities in Belgium and, presum- ably, elsewhere. So Gunner Hewitt enlisted and was wounded, gassed, or shocked by the actual explosion of shells no fewer than seven times. But he always went willingly back to the line for more. When the Germans made their last des- perate advance in 1918, gas attacks had been developed to fiendish perfection. The men who could wear their gas masks were comparatively lucky. But the gunners could not always wear their masks. It was not always possible to set the intricate dials of gun-pointing machines through gas masks and with streaming eyes. On several occasions Sir Arthur Currie pub- licly commended the gunners for discard- ing their gas masks in order to keep firing and so save the hard-pressed infantry in front. : . Gunner Hewitt was repeatedly exposed to such attacks. To ordinary people that fact would long ago have been sufficient to explain his peculiar lung trouble. But not to the pensions officials. Gunner Hewitt suffered for four years because of the Germans--and for nearly fourteen years because of his countrymen. Surely it is time to end the disgraceful and dangerous farce. It is time to clean out the bureaucrats who have gone on year after year committing or permitting atro- city after atrocity. The county courts should be given juris- diction over pensions cases, to end the great congestion. And, if there is to be appeal from pensions awards, the Minis- ter of Pensions and National Health should be made to take direct responsibility. As things are, "passing the huck" has be- come a fine art. Subterfuge has hecome a science. If the Government neglected for year after year to pay interest on the bond sold during the war the air would be filled with protests about dishonor and repudia- tion. Are the plain promises to human beings less sacred How many more Paynes, Mec- Quades and Hewitts must die before the Minister and his Department are shaken out of their complacency?

And the golfers are smiling at the thought of being able to get at their fav- orite game.

It is, there- fore, essential that real and co-operative thought should be given to the tobacco question before Ot- tawa is entered upon. What applies to tobacco, applies to all our export industries and to our dom- estic industries in their relation to Imperial issues. The more thought which this Colony can give to her own questions involved in the general Imperial outlook, and the closer the investigation of all sug- gestions forthcoming. the better hope there will be ct achieving really worthwhile results, BITS OF HUMOR "1 observe that you do a great many favors for that influential citizen," "Those aren't favors," answered Senator Sorg- hum, "those are investments," Recently Mount Vesuvius was tipped with snow --but don't try that on a waiter.

It creates in prospective customers the desire to buy. * It has made millionaires by creat- ing markets for certain products. It has revived dead businesses and put them on the road to prosperity. It has inspired the peoples of the world to attain a higher plain of living by bringing before them mo- dern inventions, conveniences and labor saving devices. It has inspired inventive geniuses to explore new ficlds. It will re-create banks. It has been the main business ex- citer throughout the past decades and will continue to be throughout the years to come, It will have an important part in eliminating the unemployment pro- blem facing the nation and will prove to be an important factor in the government's reconstruction program. Eliminate advertising and the world will go into bankruptcy; fac- tories will close, railroads will cease to operate and chaos will reign, THERE WAS A TIME WHEN COMPETITION WAS THE LIFE OF TRADE, BUT TODAY AD- VERTISING TAKES ITS PLACE, THERE CAN BE NO TRADE WORTHWHILE WITHOUT AD- VERTISING.
