TUESDAY, JULY 12th, 1932. a ees ee B-- The Glorious 12th ay the people of Oshawa welcome to th Oey the $i lodges of several coun- ties in Central Ontario. The Orange cele- bration of the Glorious 12th of July has now become an historic occasion each year, and this year the people of Oshawa are having the opportunity of seeing this.event i lory. he sgn order is welcome to Oshawa because of the intensity of its loyalty to the British crown and British institutions. There have, in the past, been charges of intolerance and bigotry launched at the order, but today there 1s little of that in its activities. It survives because it pro- vides for men and women a means of ex- pressing their loyalty to the reigning sovereign and the British Empire, as well as their loyalty to the Protestant faith. The very fact that Orange celebrations are now quite peaceful affairs is the best proof that the days of religious intolerance and bigotry are past. Years ago, it was almost impossible to hold a celebration or this kind without a pitched battle with those of a different faith. These days, hap- pily, are now past.: Religious differences are recognized, but are now made the ex- cuse for open quarrels. The Orange order ' has become, to some extent, benevolent in its aims as well as patriotic, and little time is now wasted in condemning those of a dif- ferent religion. Matters of education play a large part in its program, and its mem- bers are more intent on cementing the foundations of their own faith than in con- demning those who happen to disagree with them. : Oshawa welcomes the Orange celebration today as a loyal city. It hopes that, from the standpoint of those who take part, it may be a success, that they may be given inspiration to go forward with a construc- tive program of building up an united Can- ada, rather than one of dividing the coun- try along religious lines. That should be the aim of every loyal organization, and, as such, the Orangemen are welcomed as visitors who are playing no small part in the development of a spirit of unity with- out, our nation. Where Ontario Leads The address delivered by V. A. Sinclair, chairman of the Workmen's Compensation Board of Ontario, at the Rotary Club yes- terday, and reported in The Times today, provides much food for thought as to the position which holds in the matter of ad- vanced social legislation. It is interesting to know that Ontario led in the matter of workmen's compensation, and that other countries have since found a model for their own legislation in Ontario's statutes. It is interesting to know, too, the extent to . which this province has progressed in social legislation since' the Workmen's Compensation Act was passed in 1915. The Workmen's Compensation Act, ac- cording to the figures given by Mr. Sinclair, has been a great boon to Ontario industrial workers since it was enacted. In the last 17 years, he showed, 950,000 victims of accidents or their dependents have received compensation amounting in all to $94,700,- 000. These are amazing figures, but they show, if nothing else, the great value of this legislation to the workers of the pro- vince. Industry, too, has benefitted from this legislation. The very fact that assessments on industries in accordance with the com- pensation paid out for accidents has been a spur to manufacturers to make 'strong efforts to keep down the proportion of time- lost accidents: It has encouraged them to instal safety devices of every kind, and to promote safety education among their employees. This, undoubtedly, has been very effective in reducing the ratio of acci- dents, and in safeguarding human life and "limb. The figures which Mr. Sinclair gave, showing how the work of the board is a barometer of industrial activity were very enlightening. They showed how greatly it has suffered from lessened employment. A drop in payrolls from ten and a half mil- fion dollars in 1929 to five and three- quarter million dollars in 1931 in Oshawa gpeaks for itself. It shows clearly why the city is faced with so serious a problem in va \ THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, JULY 12, 1932 providing unemployment relief. And, in. cidentally, it provides a telling argument for the city council in making an appeal to Premier Henry for an additional percentage of governmental contributions in paying for relief, Mr. Sinclair's/address was an informa- tive one: It was the type of address which is of interest to all citizens, since it indi- cates what the province of Ontario has done and is doing to maintain the stand- ards of living for its people, and to ensure the well-being of those who are unfortun- ate enough to be disabled while engaging in industrial pursuits. ~ Canada's Contribution If the report from Ottawa, .to the effect that the government has prepared a list of 8,000 items which it is willing to admit to Canada from Empire countries free of duty is even substantially correct, then a long step has been taken towards ensuring the success of the Imperial Conference. There has been much speculation as to the attitude which the government would take on opening Canadian markets to Empire goods, and. this list of free imports is bound to be a large contribution towards the negotiations for preferences. It would seem as if the work of the Cana- dian Manufacturers' Association has borne some fruit. For some months this organiza- tion has been making an intensive survey of the field of Canadian imports, with a view to listing those articles now secured from foreign countries which could just as ps secured from Empire sources. Probably many such items are included in the list of 8,000 items, and will provide an opportunity for Premier Bennett to show that Canada is prepared to be liberal in offering a market for Canadian products. Much depends, of course, on what this list includes. The individual items, to be of any use to the other countries of the Empire, must be of such a character as they can export. It would be useless to set up a formidable list only to find that none of the Empire countries, including Britain, produced them in sufficient quantities to supply the needs of Canada. So one must wait and see what the list contains before estimating the effect it will have on the conference. The chief point, however, is that it has been demonstrated that Canada is willing to do its share towards promoting the sue- cess of the conference, and that in itself is a healthy omen. Editorial Notes This is the great day for the followers of King Billy, and they are letting the world know it, too. The two car accidents in Oshawa yester- day only red to emphasize how free this city has been from mishaps of this kind: The citizens who found lettuce growing on his lawn instead of grass can at least be assured of plenty of summer salads. Which reminds us that we once knew a man in Kingston who set a new fashion by growing potatoes in his front lawn. | Other Editer's Comments 7] MAKE FARMING PAY (Pembroke Standard-Observer) It has been more than evident for the past few years that something has to be done to place farm- ing on its feet. And we are not to lose sight of the fact that if the farmers become prosperous, then those engaged in all other lines of industry and business will share in this prosperity. Accordingly then we want a market in Great Britain for butter, cheese, wheat, hogs, cattle, etc.,, and the biggest thing the Imperial conference can do for Canada is to start something which will make farming pay. BITS OF HUMOR The eminent alicnist recognized the thug who was holding him up. "Look here," he protested, "I'm your benefactor. Don't you recall that I once saved you from a lite sentence by proving you crazy?" "Sure, 1 remember you now," the thug said as he continued his work. "And ain't holdin' up your benefactor a crazy thing to do " Mandy had been troubled with a toothache for some time before she got up sufficient courage to go to a dentist. The moment he touched the tooth she screamed. ! "What are vou making such a noise for?" he demanded. "Don't you know I'm a painless dentist?" "Well, sah" retorted Mandy, "mebbe you is painless, but Ah isn't." BITS OF VERSE YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE By Douglas Malloch You have to belicve in happiness, Or happiness never comes.

It is harder than ordinary glass and much clearer in color, being composed chiefly of Silica, Soda and Lime, When a softer glass is required as ia the segment portions of bifocals, Flint Glass is used, lead replac- ing the soda makes it sufficient- ly softer than the crown glass permitting it to soften sooie: than the other and sO under a certain temperature the two will fuse together into one. Care must be taken to assure a pure white glass with the following qualifications: 1. As near as possible colorless glass, 2. Free from striae." 3. Free from bubbles. 4. Free from strain. 6. Of equal perfectness in sur- face, 6. Accurate as to curvature, 7. Exact in focus. : While it is possible for these imperfections to be beyond the vision of the untrained eye, they are nevertheless injurious to the wearer, and for this reason each and every lens should be true to a given standard.

K. Sandwell, F.R.S.C. Queen's University Ottawa, July 12 Every na- tion which has control of i tariff may be said to do its seil- ing where it can and its buying where it likes, Wheat, coal, steel lumber, are accepted only where they ave wanted Mon accepted everywhere The seller of goods is greatly limited in the choi customers. The bayer of gocds is free to buy where he will. Un- der free trade the choice is large. ly in the hands of the individual. With a tariff, and particularly with a graded tariff such as that own 0 " " of Canada it restg to a consider- able extent with the government, Before the War the Empire got very well with each of its member countries doing its sell- ing where it eould and its buying where it liked. The combined buying outside of the Empire did not exceed the combined selling to countries outside of the Em- pire, by more than the amount of income which the Empire was eu- titled to collect from outside countries in return for the cap- ital which it had lent to them. After the War things were found to be greatly changed (Gireat Britain no longer had any- thing like the same amount of income coming in from capita! lent to other countries; and the rest of the Empire, notably Can- | ada, had immense sums going out | eve ry year in payment for cap- ital which they had borrowed from outside of the Empire. In order to adjust itself to this con- dition, the trade of the Empire should have changed a great deal. The countries of the Empire should have imported less from outside the Empire and sold more to non-Empire countries. But, to repeat the observation at the beginning of the article, na- tions do their selling where they can and their buying where they like. And the nations of the ¥n:- pire were less and less able tc sell outside of the Empire, and they apparently liked more and more to buy outside of the Em- pire. This does not of course, mean the citizens of the member coun- tries really preferred to do their buying from outsiders, but that circumstances made it easy for them to do so, and that they had not yet perfected their own or- ganization for ~ diverting their ~f.buying power to 'their own fel- low-members. Great Britain, fw example, made no effort to direct its buying power by means of a tariff until a few months ago. Canada, in spite of having a par- tially effective preferential tariff which was supposed to direct its buying to Empire countries, con- tinued well into the present de pression to spend-from $200,000, 000 to $300,000,000 less with British countries .than they spent with her, and about $200,000,000 more with non-British countries than they spent with her, An Empire which has to pay more, for goods bought and debts and interest due, to foreign coun- tries than it collects from them for goods seld and debts and in- terest due, must settle the bal- ance in gold money. And it the process goes on long enough it will begin to rubsshort of gold. This is the essential reason fur the liability of Australia, Grea! Britain and Canada to remain "on. the gold bhasis;" they were losing too much gold. And the main concern of the Imperial. Economie Conferenc which will shortly sit at ottawi is to devise ways and means fo} directing the purchasing powed PRODUCE PRICES TORONTO PRODUCE QUOTATIONS (Buying) Toronto dealers are buying produce at the following prices: Eggs-- Ungraded, cases re- turned, fresh extras, 17c; fresh firsts, 15c¢; seconds, 13e¢.

If they will be bes! served by buying in other Em- pire countries, then 'buy in the other Empire countries' should be the word.
