For Their Own Benefit Tt is unfortunate that an attempt is being made to stir up the minds of the unemployed workers of Oshawa against the decision of the city council to establish a relief depot from which to supply the needs of distressed families. Could they but realize it, the move of the council has been made for the purpose of placing the distribution of relief on a sounder basis for all concerned. The thought in the minds of the alder- men in deciding to open a store was to promote efficiency, economy and equality in the distribution of direct relief. Econ- omy will be promoted by reason of the fact that supplies will be purchased in large quantities, probably by tender, so that extremely low prices will be obtained. Efficiency will be promoted by ensuring that the supplies given to needy families provide a properly balanced diet for them, with the elimination of expensive and less nutritious frills which have not the same food values. Equality will be promoted by seeing to it that uniform supplies are given to each family, in accordance with the number of mouths to be fed. That is a business-like way of dealing with the problem. In effect, the opening of the store will, as Mayor Hawkes has pointed out, enable the city to give greater assistance to the unemployed at less cost. And since cost is a very important factor, the effort of the council to establish this system should be commended, instead of being criticized. Keeping Their Heads Tha ers in Canada are to be complimented on the manner in which they have Kept their heads during the long period of economic stress. In New Zealand, at Detroit, and at St. John's, Newfoundland, in recent weeks, there have been serious riots and fighting, arising, either directly or indirectly, out of the plight of the unemployed men and women. So far, Canada has had no such incidents, although in many communities conditions are very serious. A striking example of this is to be found at home here in Oshawa, Hundreds of men are feeling the pinch of want, and tramp- avant masses of anemployed work- my . ing the streets in a fruitless search for work. Conditions have been such as to try the patience and the will-power of even the strongest of men, yet there has been noth- ing even remotely resembling trouble from They have kept their heads, have borne their sufferings man- fully, and have shown themselves worthy of the respect of the entire community. This faculty of Canadians of keeping ' their heads is one of the saving factors of the situation in this country. Times are admittedly bad, but they will not always be so, and this country is in a splendid position to rebound back to prosperity as soon as the corner is turned. By keeping Jevel heads, the workers are preserving . the fundamental things in the national life of the country, so that there will be no im- pediment in the way of the recovery that is bound to come. Canada is to be congratulated on having sueh citizens. They may be nearly down and out so far as financial resources are _ concerned, but they are showing that they belong to the true British breed which faces difficulties manfully and fights hardest when its back is to the wall. A Mayor's Duties Few people fully realize how complex and varied are the duties which citizens of a community seek to place upon the shoulders of the mayor. This matter, however, has been given some prominence as the result of a debate in the Toronto eity council regarding the entertainment of a certain movie star who visited that city recently. embers of the council took exception, with good reason, to the mayor or council being expected to take in 'the reception to this visitor, just for the purpose of helping the promoters of her visit to put over a profitable show.. , Mayors of towns and cities are always willing to:give their aid to any legitimate cause, but they find themselves imposed upon many times during their term of office. Mayor Stewart, in this case, found the promoters of a vaudeville show taking advantage of his official position to link him up with a movie star as a box office attraction. Had Mayor Stewart refused, we think his refusal would have been justi- fied. But he would probably have been subjected to bitter attacks by those intre- ested in making the affair a financial suc- 'cess, so he, wisely, took the line of real resistance. . The fact remains, however, that a man who occupies the office of mayor in a com- munity has many calls made upon him to take part in private enterprises for the benefit of some individual. When a mayor takes office, it should be clearly understood that he is not under any obligation to respond to these calls, that they have no place in his list of official duties. A few firm refusals would soon cure those people who wish to bask in the reflected glory of the chief eecutive of the city, and would give the holder of that office the right to call at least part of his life own. Britain's Significant Budget It is very significant that Great Bri- tain's government, in the budget introduc- ed this week, has made no provision for revenue on account of reparations, and no provision for payments on account of war debts to the United States. This was not an oversight on the part of the chancellor of the exchequer. It was a deliberately planned piece of policy, designed to make a definite impression on the rest of the world. It is likely that the British government would have omitted reparations and war debts from its budget unless there were a sound cause for so doing. This action con- tains a veiled hint that 'the government is confident that, before the next payments fall due, some kind of an international agreement will be made éither suspending or wiping out all war obligations. Britain is not trying to shirk responsibility, and will, if required, pay the debt in full. But there is a hopeful sign in the fact that no provision is being made for payments, a sign that Britain expects that these pay- ments will not be necessary. What a won- derful thing it would be for the world, in these days of economic stress, if this came true. Editorial Notes That $1,960,000 expense bill of the Canadian National Railways will take a good deal of explaining. The C.N.R. is in no position at the present time to maintain so extravagant a board. Yesterday's parade was quiet and order- ly, and showed the desire of the paraders to live strictly within the law. Have you subscribed to send a boy to Kiwanis Camp. If not, send in your con- tribution today The Times office will be glad to receive contributions. Why not turn some of the vacant land owned by the city into garden plots, and turh the unemployed loose on them to grow their own food? Other Editor's Comments THE WASHINGTON LEGATION (Toronto Telegram) From Ottawa comes the rumour that the United States is contemplating closing up its embassy at Ottawa. The mere suggestion of such action by the United States brings to the front the question of the maintenance of the Canadian Legation at Washington. Even in the piping days of prosperity the establishment of a Canadian Legation in the United States capital was strongly opposed as an unnecessary and burdensome expense. At the pres- ent time, when every possible economy must be practised, the cost of keeping up appearance at Washington is a futile extravagance, MR. THOMAS AND "HUMBUG" (Manitoba Free Press) proposition is made at the forthcoming Conference comparable in stupidity and sclfishness to that submitted by Mr. Bennett at the Imperial Conference in 1930, Mr. Thomas will be in order if he pins the label "humbug" upon it.

How To End New Medicine Drives Rheumatic Poiscns from Joints and Muscles EASES PAIN FIRST DAY Poisons in the blood settling in the joints and muscles cause rheu- matism. You cannot get rid of rheumatic agony till every trace of these dangerous poisons is driven That's why external remedies and pain deaden- ine drugs only give temporary re- lief. What vou need is RU-MA, the new medicine now sold by all up to date druggists that acts directly on th: liver, stomach and blood, and expels through the natural chan- nels of elimination the dangerous poisons that cause rheumatic mis- ery. No long waiting for your suffer- | ing to stop, RU-MA eases pain the first day and is the one rheumatism remedy guaranteed to free muscles and joints from all painful stiffness swelling and lameness. Jury & Lovell Ltd, has so much confidence in RU-MA that they want every rheumatic in town to try it and guarantee monev-back if it does not end rheumatism.
