THURSDAY, JUNE 30th, 1932 The Appeal Of The Children The appeal of the Red Cross Society for assistance in carrying on its work at the Red Cross Cottage on the lake is worthy of serious and generous consideration. At this time, there are many appeals to public generosity andssupport, but none which should command so favorable a reception as that of tne Red Cross Society. The splendid character of the work being dong at the cottage is well-known to the citizens of Oshawa. Every summer, for a number of years, scores of little children, under-nourished, sickly, and convalescing from serious disease, have been taken down there and provided with a health- giving holiday by the lake, under expert care and supervision. These children have turned from the lake renewed in health land strength, and fitted to face the school days which follow vacation. This work has only been possible because each year, the citizens of Oshawa have supplied the necessary funds. This year, the usual appeal was made some two weeks ago, but so far the response is insignificant. Donations have simply not come in, and there is grave danger of this whole splen- did work being rendered impossible for lack of finances. Surely the appeal of these children, who need the health-build- ing holiday at the lake, will not go unheed- _ ed in this year of greater need than ever. Oshawa's citizens have never failed. Let it not be said that they are. going to fail this year, when the little children are call- ing to them for help. A contribution sent to The Times office will be greatly acknowl- edged by the Red Cross Society. Keeping Its Head Up The statement of the Canadian National Railways for the month of May indicates that the system is now making some pro- gress in the direction of paying its way, in spite of reduced revenues. Compared with May of 1931, the net operating revenue for the month showed an increase of sixty per cent, although there was a drop of "over $3,900,000 in the gross revenue. This result was attained by the practice of strict economy, the expenses for the month being reduced by over $4,200,000 as com- pared with May of last year. This meant an increase in the net operating revenue of 291,105, » showing which, in these times, is highly satisfactory. Faced with declining revenues, the peo- ple's railway system has done exactly what men in business and in private life have had to do. It is cutting down its expendi- tures. It is cutting its cost to fit its cloth, and is thus able to show the satisfactory condition of earning a profit. Some interesting figures are available regarding the comparative position of the Canadian National Railways for the last * two years. In 1931, the operating expenses ~ of the system were $26,000,000 less than "in 1930. Officials of the railway estimate that there will be a further reduction of $50,000,000 in 1932, as compared with the 1931 figures. This is the result of steps taken to cope with the general business situation and the decline in revenues. It should bring about a much better financial position for the railway at the end of the year, and should make it possible for a more substantial profit to be shown this year than was the case last year, in spite ecreased gross revenues of the system. is exactly as the people of Canada i want to see it.

Application wa for letters of known as the "Pedestrian Rights Association." The de- clared purpose of this new body is "the protection of the pedestrian from traffic dangers, promotion of publicity and in- struction among the general public, and the improvement and enforcement of exist- ing laws." In other words, someone is taking the initiative in doing for the pedestrians what the motorists have long ago done for them- selves. They have their organizations, active bodies which seek to protect the rights and interests of motorists. Now the pedestrians are to have a similar opportun- ity of asserting the rights which they un- doubtedly possess. Henceforth, instead of an individual speaking for himself when he feels he has a grievance, he will be able to secure the collective support of pedes- trians in the mass. There is a useful work which an asso- ciation of this kind can do, even if only in expressing the views on legislations and traffic regulations of the pedestrians as opposed to the motorist. The pedestrians, after all, greatly outnumber the motorists, and if the project can be popularized, and people attracted to it in hundreds of thous- ands, it can bring useful pressure to bear on legislative bodies to recognize to a greater extent than at present the rights of pedestrians on the highways and streets of the province. Editorial Notes The man who sits longest on top of the pole at Lakeview Park will have the satis- faction of earning $25 for sitting still. -Ns doubt the people of Oshawa will be quite prepared to make some sacrifices in order to produce drastic economies in the cost of education. Some idea of how attractive the swim- ming pool is at Kiwanis Camp can be judged from the fact that one of the club members jumped into it in his B.V.D.'s as soon as he saw it. Time was when Dominion Day was the occasion for great patriotic demonstrations. Now it becomes the occasion for crowded highways, automobile accidents, and, pos- sibly drowning fatalities.

BRITAIN SEES IT THROUGH (Boston Christian Science Monitor) The fact is that the position of this singular nation, not merely during the last year or two, but during the last twelve years, has been very general- ly misunderstood in other countries. Observers like M. Andre Siegiried were disposed to detect signs of national decadence, But the very unrest which appeared in industry was in part due to the deter- minationof ex-soldiers never to endure again the degrading poverty many of them had known before the war. And they did not endure it., The most remarkable fact about British history since the war is that in spite of loss ot exports, in spite of unem- ployment and strikes, the standard of living of the whole community, from the humblest labourer up to the middle classes. has shown an amazing im- provement.

He was trembling with excitement, "Darling," "he murmured breathlessly, "did you tell your father we were engaged?" "Yes, dear," replied the girl. "I rang him up on the telephone and told him." "What did he say?" went on the young man cagerly, The apple of his eve looked up pensive. "Well," she replied, "I couldn't really tell whether' he was replying or whether it was a breakdown on the line." The farmer was delivering vegetables to the sani- tarium. A patient saluted him: Patient--"You're a farmer, ain't yuh?" Farmer--"I allow that I am." Patient--"I used to be a farmer once Farmer--"Did vuh?"

REAY, PUBLISHER OF NEWS, -SAYS: is under obligation to its newspa- per. Without one your commun- ity cannot progress and would re- main stagmant--if not die in time. You can pay this debt in two ways: First, by subseribing to the paper regularly. Second, by ad- verticing in its columns, thereby making it prosperous amd a bet- ter salesman for you. In no other way can you help an honest pa- per, and that will be ample. Stop and think where your eity would be without its representa- tive in the surrounding territory. The cheapest thing you buy is your paper, for which you pay about one-half the amount it costs the publisher to produce it. The advertiser buys his space at a considerably less amount than it would cost to send his an- nouncements either by mail . or circulars delivered by hand. The ambition of your publisher is to give you the best paper pos- sible with the money he gets from you. Don't compare your pa- per with the Chicago Tribune or New York Times and wonder why your paper is not better, but stop and think "Am I in any way helping my publisher to produce a better mewspaper?" Many publishers are capable of producing papers like the Trib- une and Times, but lack the cash, No publisher can continue long to put into his paper more than he takes out, and your community should not expect to compare its paper with any other publication except on a popula- tion and cash receipt basis, AND ALSO ASK YOURSELF IF YOU ARE DOING YOUR PART.

SENSATIONAL EVIDENCE GIVEN ATRENFREW PROBE Oshawa Man, Former Night Watchman, Is Called as Witness (By Canadian Press) Renfrew, Ont., June 32 -- Testi- mony that Councillor James Fen- nessy on February 12 last offered him $50 "to swear lies" against Chief of Police Moses Greer, was ziven by Peter Perras, Renfrew butcher, as a royal commission in- vestigation into the administration of justice entered its sixth day yes- terday. " Perras said he refused Mr. Fen- nessay's request because he had found the chief to be a "gentleman" wha had done him no harm, Coun- cillor Fennessey's charges against Chief Greer and Magistrate W, A. Mackay formed the basis of the probe. So far eighty witnesses have tes- tified before the Coramissioner, I. A. Humphries, K.C., of Toronto. Victor Corbett, Oshawa, former Renfrew night watchman, told of finding two girls with Mr. Fennes- sev in the latter's barn late one night in the tall of 1927.

The man who bought Life Insurance for the purpose is happy. This ig the lesson of the depression. It is worth while playing safe--at least to the extent of guaranteeing yourself a mini- mum income of say $100.00 a month when you reach age 60 or 65. You may not have known that the London Life will guarantee to a man now 37, three times as much money per month when he reaches 65 as he deposits. Annual dividends, especially if left to accumulate, will greatly increase these returns. A man who works years to accumulate an estate and then loses it seldom has a second chance. Life Insurance alone is sure, and is always paid at 100 cents on the dollar.
