D, Tresidder, repre- { sentative. TUESDAY, JUNE 21st, 1932. Misleading Stories The city council has once again taken cognizance of the practice of Toronto § newspapers in printing, with big headlines, . stories derogatory to the city of Oshawa. In some cases, these stories have a thick veneer of fact, but are founded very large- ly on imagination. In others, statements made by aldermen and public men are taken from their context, and played up by themselves in order to give a sensa- tional aspect to the conditions in this city. While the aldermen may be critical of the Toronto newspapers for -their attitude towards this city, there is nothing much that they can do about it. These news- % papers have no stake in Oshawa. They are not concerned with the city's welfare. [t means nothing to them to print stories giving Oshawa a black eye in the eyes of "the rest of the province. They are out for sensations, even if they have to draw on their imagination to produce them. It is admitted that conditions in Oshawa are not as good as most people would like to see them. This city has a hard row to hoe, but conditions are not improved by misleading statements in the Toronto press, statements only partly true but largely invented. As a local newspaper, The Times, while not minimizing the seriousness of the situation, has refrained from giving color to any incident which occurs in such a way as to hurt the credit of the city, and will continue to do so- The Times has a sense of responsibility to the community which is not shared by any other newspaper published in another city. And if the Toronto newspapers persist in their policy of playing up exaggerated stories of conditions with which individual "families in Oshawa are faced, the people of this city will soon learn to accept them at their true valuation. Worthy a Better Fate The public meeting held. in the Col- legiate and Vocational Institute Frilay eve- ning, for a discussion of economic questions related to present-day conditions, with W. H. Moore, M.P., as the chief speaker, deserved a much larger audience than at- tended. It was i ded that this should be the first of a séfies of meetings in the form of an "open forum" with distinguish- ed speakers giving leadership, and oppor- tunities provided for any who wished to take part in the discussion of the import- ant questions being dealt with. "The size of the audience on Friday night, however, could not have been very encour- aging to those who sponsored the gather- ing. If there is any subject in which people should be interested in these days of business and economic transition, it is the subject of economics. We believe that there are a sufficient number of people in Oshawa who are interested in subjects of this kind to make a regular "open forum' possible, but apparently they had other interests on Friday night. As a matter of fact, we would suggest to the sponsors of this project that they selected the wrong month of the year to launch it. In mid-June, with daylight sav- ing in effect, it is asking a great deal to expect a large gathering of people to go doors on a sultry evening to listen to #peeches for a couple of hours. They would do it all right in fall or winter, but when "outdoor recreations and sports are calling, they prefer to stay away. Perhaps a simi- lar venture, if launched in the fall, will 'meet with a much greater response, and could be made. very much worth while, Oshawa and Toronto Picnics : (Toronto Mail and Empire) A distinction must be made, apparently, between tourists and picnickers. The mer are welcomed everywhere on the ry that they must spend money 'on probably on other personal require- ents, and thereby stimulate new busi- mess, But the picnicker is in another category. A picnic is a sorti of social nent to which the members of y bring thelr own food and other hments. Sometimes they make them- - 8 nuisance in their efforts to get "water and they generally leave the Nr gn ge eh 7 ~ ments and | grounds in a mess when they go away. Altogether it is not surprising to read in the Oshawa Times that Col. R- S. Me- Laughlin, speaking as a member of the city parks commission, expressed emphatically his opinion that Lakeview Park was not being used for the purpose for which /it was intended. That park and the sum of $6,000 for equipment were donated by the General Motors Corporation through its president, Col. McLaughlin, in 1920, for the use of the citizens of Oshawa. "But citizens of Oshawa are being crowded out of Lakeview Park," said Commissioner McLaughlin, "Oshawa people cannot see this park as it was originally intended they should use it. People come down here from Toronto and hold picnics, by the thousand, every Summer, and I think it is time we put the brakes on. That was not the intention when the site was donated to Oshawa. The intention was that it should provide a playground and park for the citizens of Oshawa." Toronto picnickers may regret that they are no longer welcome by the thousand at Lakeview Park but they still have their own Island which has been a favorite pic- nic ground for many generations. Editorial Notes F. L. Mason, being quesfiioned on an automobile's right-of-way in court the other day, made the laconic reply, "Yes, and there are hundreds in the cemetery because they insisted on having' the right- of-way." How true, and how unfortunate.

As a matter of fact, nobody cares about the other fellow's religious belief unless he invites a row by declaring it the best one.--Brandon Sun. | Other Editor's Comments SPEAKS "OUT OF TURN" (New York Evening Post) It is quite possible to accept the opinion of Mr. Calvin Coolidge against cancellation of the war debts as expressed in' his article in the Cosmopolitan magazine, But times have changed in the decade since the debt arrangements were made in his Ad- ministration. Whether or not one accepts the ex- President's opinion, however, it is quite possible to believe that he speaks "out of turn" In other words, the nations are on the verge of trying one more desperate meeting at Lausanne to handle some of the economic vroblems which press so heavily upon Europe. At such a juncture, it seems to us that a sternly standpat declaration by an ex-Presi- dent of the United States cannot help having an unfortunate effect. We hope that Europe will not be too deeply moved by the views of Mr, Coolidge. er there is a real chance that harm may result. Ea residents might well get more closely in touch with the actual situation before they begin to make positive declarations as to foreign affairs. THERE MUST BE GIVE 'AND TAKE (St. John Telegraph-Journal) Of course there are great difficulties in the way but contronted bv world conditions as they exist it would be supreme folly not to make an attempt in the spirit of give and take to solve the economic problem of the Empire, It is the greatest experi ment in trade expansion ever attempted, and its success or failure depends upon the extent to which the negotiators are willing to take the broad view and trust something to the future. With govern- producers alike in agreement on the weneral principles the practical working out of the scheme should not be impossible. Indeed there is no alternative. BITS OF HUMOR WHEN THE DOCTOR COMES IN _ An Englishman, on his first visit to America, ar- rived at a small town and said to the first man he met : "Do I have to see a doctor before I get a drink here ?" "No, not till afterwards," answered the man. CAUSE OF CAUTION? A tourist party of ladies were obliged to seek quarters in a farmhouse, where everything was simplicity' itself, and also scrupulously' clean and homelike. When bedtime came some of the party, finding there were no keys in the locks of their rooms, consulted the farmer's wife, who was undis- guisedly surprised. "Why," she said, "we don't usually lock our doors here, and there's no one here but you! But then" she added, scrutinizing the ladies carefully, "I suppose you know your own party best!"

L. Brown, of the Philadelphia Municipal Court. In making the statement that faculty vision leads to crime this is what he says: "I know that judges and social workers all over the country can cite any hundreds of cases when delinquency and any social conduct depended on such a simple thing as vision uncorrected and not on the desire to be wicked." "I can well imagine that defective eyesight is an econamic business, and I know at first hand that it is a social menace as is apparent in the problems of correction and de- linquency that come before me in the court." "We have a medical department with the court which deals with the physical defects of children and adults. Again and again children and adults must refer to Optical specialists for treatment and after the treatment has been given the delinquency disappears. Many child is inattentive at school, and may eventually become a truant, because he cannot study his lessong properly, as his eyesight needs at- tention." To be continued.

CANADIAN { decision in accordance with the in- 'New Christian Science Publishi oT g House BOSTON, Mass.-- Continued growth of the activities of The Chris- tian Science Publishing Society has necessitated expanded facilities. To meet this condition The Christian Science Board of Directors of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massa- chusetts, will erect, as soon as plans and arrangements are completed, a new Publishing House. Here provision will be made for the needs of The Christian Science Monitor, The Christian Science Jour- nal, the Christian Science Sentinel and all other literature published by the Society. The new building, which will cost in the neighboshood of $3,000,000, will occupy approximately 58,000 square feet of ground Lounded by Massachu- setts Avenue, Norway, Falmouth, and Clearway Streets, Back Bay. Opera- tions are to be hastened in accord with the public and private building program which Mayor James M. Curley of Boston has been urging in conjunction with President Hoover's recommendations for relief of unem- ployment. The structure will have a varying height, The Massachusetts Avenue end of the building, which will be used for offices, will be nine stories in height, while that part which is oppo- site The Mother Church edifice will be three and four stories in height and in scale with this edifice. The publishing building will be re- lated in architectural style to The Mother Church, and its design has been influenced by the fact that in the future it probably will become one of a group of buildings which will surround and form a fitting architec tural setting for the Church. It will be an all-stone building of the Italian Renaissance type, the lower story to be of granite and the upper stories of limestone. Special attention will be given to the installation of modern heating and ventilating devices. The central plant will be housed in a building adapted to it, with an ornamental tower inclosing the stack, the tower to be of brick and stone conforming with the beauty and symmetry of the main building. The building now occupied by The Christian Science Publishing Society, completed in 1908, will be used for the administration offices of The Mother Church. The architect is Chester Lindsay Churchill, and with him is associated Lockwood-Greene Engineers, Inc., of Boston, who will have charge of the plant layout.

However, after the mecting to-morrow we will answer The Star. In the meantime I' want to say that the report is not in accordance with all the facts. I do not say that all the facts iu the report are untrue, decidedly not, I want to be fair but the news- papers must also be fair," said Ald. Boddy. The full report as published in The Toronto Daily Star on Satur- day last and refered to by Ald Boddy and Mayor Hawkes read as follows :-- The Star's Story "Oshawa, June 18.--Because they disobeved one of the rules laid down by the relief committee of the city council for the relief officers to follow and paid out all their money for rent, Mr, and Mrs, Frank Grim- shaw, 330 Centre St., with their five children, have been refused relief by Miss D. Farncomb, city relief offi cer. Had 1t not been for the Osh- awa branch of the Canadian Legion. which has supplied the family with food for the past two weeks, they would starve. "Then the public utilities commis- sion turned off the electric lights for non-payment of rates and Mrs. Grimshaw one night fell down the dark stairs in her home, seriously injuring herself. She is now urgent- ly in need of medical attention, but this, too, has been denied by the relief department. "Last evening Mrs. Grimshaw told The Sfar that last February, when Mr. Grimshaw was laid off, they appealed to Miss Farncomb, The citv relief officer instructed them not to pay rent, and on JSoril 1 they were evicted from their home. The Legion moved the family to their present house on Centre St. and the city paid the rent for one iwonth, $12, During April Mr. Grimshaw received work which lasted four weeks, and with his wages he paid the $12 back to the city, paid up the water rates, and as thev did not want to be evicted again paid up the rent for two months in advance. : "'When we applied for relief again we were refused, Mrs. Grim- shaw told The Star. 'Miss Farn- comb told -us we had no right to pav the rent. She figured out that the money should have lasted us until the end of June on the basis of six cents a day for food for each of us. We would have starved if it had not been tor the legion and some of our friends. "No Medicine" "'When I fell down the stairs the relief officers even would not allow the board of health to supply medi- cines I should have had. " 'Miss Farncomb has it in for us because I wouldn't allow our daugh- ter to take a job as a maid in a house where there was scarlet fever, Mrs. Grimshaw stated. 'They offered a dollar a week, food and uniform, but I made Lilian refuse the position because she is not strong.' "This spring was the first time the family asked for relief. There are five 'children ranging from five to seventeen years. "Dr. T. W. G. McKay, M.O.H,, informed The Star that medical aid can only be wiven to those re- commended by the relief committee. "The Oshawa Property Owners' Association for three. months have been fighting the rule whereby re- lief is refused to families who pay the rent." business Plans are under way to es- tablish a big wild animal farm at a cost of $1,000,000 in San Diego, Calif.

The Modern Trend The modern trend, said Mr. was to place the |stress on physical education, placing the emphasis on the noun {rather than on the adjective. Physical activities, he said, were now being tested by educational standards, and today, the well- balanced and effective program must contain the best of all these trends. The program must have part of all of them, and must have an educational focus in or- der to achieve the desired re- sults. Need of Recreation Mr. Cunningham stressed the need for recreation in these days of unrest and turmoil. The re- créational trend In physical edu- cation had originated during the war, when there was a similar turmoil and unrest, and it was necessary today in order to give peop .e something to occupy their minds and prevent them brood- ing over their troubles. He urged city councils and boards of edu- cation not to curtail their re- creational expenditures {n the present period of stress, but to maintain them for the public good. In closing, Mr. Cunningham referred to the work of the Boys' Training School with which he was associated, citing a case in which a 'real tough boy" has developed into a splendid young man through the instruction given there, and invited the Ro- tarians to visit it and see for themselves the work which was being done.

Mental Handicaps The speaker deplored the fact that some men were dropping out of Kiwanis because, they said, of the depression. "This is 75 per cent. due to mental handicap, for he is losing more than he gains. Kiwanis today is building men, fostering a spirit of helpfulness among its members. If a man lives up to the code of Kiwanis, he is worth having. In Ki- wanis activities, selfishness is forgotten and a man is remads and reborn. The only glory de- sired is the glory of unselfishness and service." The man who talked depres- sion, said Governor Fowler, was under a mental handicap, and he pointed to the struggle and hard- ships of the early settlers of Can- ada, who had placed their im- print upon the country, which seemed destined to lead the whole world out of the wilder- ness. Governor Fowler also told of the splendid work being done by the Kiwanis Club in meeting the depression, in finding work for unemployed men, and urgcd that every Kiwanian shouid pledge his support to every move- ment for the settlement of condi- tions in the world today. Optimism Needed "Take an optimistic outlook," urged the speaker. "Spread good cheer and put on a courageous front, Remember the banks are stuffed with money and the ele- vators with wheat. Our orchards and farms were never more pro- ductive. Let us be thankful for the country in which we live. We are looking forward with hope to the Imperial Economic Confer- ence, and the attitude of tine whole empire is that it is waiting to see what Canada is going to do.
