Tresidder, rep- resentative. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 10th, 1932. A Challenge To Oshawa The other day we made the assertion that the citizens of Oshawa could do any- thing they desired to do, if they would only put their shoulders to the wheel, work together, and show the proper spirit of aggressiveness under inspired leadership. This, of course, might be true of any com- munity. It was proven true of Sault Ste Marie a couple of weeks ago. But our great aim is to see the thing done in Oshawa. An opportunity to show what it can do in making events an outstanding success is offered to the people of Oshawa in the annual fair which is to be held on Septem- ber 12, 13, and 14. Without exaggeration, it can be said that the Oshawa Fair is this year fighting for its very existence. Under the leadership of W. E. N. Sinclair, the officers and directors are doing all they possibly can to organize it for success. If their efforts fail, then the future of the ' fair is questionable. There should be no thought of failure in the minds of the people of Oshawa, who are involved in the future of Oshawa Fair. In fact, it lies in their hands to make fail- ure out of the question. They can, by their aggressive co-operation and support, make the event the most successful the city has ever seen. There are some signs that the public attitude towards the fair is changing to one of stronger support. The Chamber of Commerce, the Retail Merchants' Associa- tion, the board of education, the three ser- vice clubs are all pledged to do what they can to make the fair a success, and are lending valuable co-operation. But that is not enough. The people of Oshawa must be awakened to a realization that it is their fair just as much as it is the fair of the farmers out in East Whitby or Darlington townships. They must be made to see that a successful fair can make a valuable contribution to the wel- fare of Oshawa. Therein lies the challenge to the people of this city. It would be encouraging to see the citizens in general become enthus- ed over something, so see them make a whole-hearted effort on behalf of some pro- ject. ~ For the present, that project should be the 1932 Oshawa Fair, which is worthy 'of the support of every citizen who claims Oshawa as home. - Is The Turn Coming If the condition of the stock markets is any indication of the trend of general busi- ness and economic conditions, the develop- ments of the last few days are highly en- couraging. In 1929, the economic crash was preceded by a crash on the stock ex- changes, in which stock values slumped tremendously. Using the same reasoning, it is only natural to expect that the recent sensational rises in stock prices is the indication that the turn to better times is coming. The new buoyancy in the stock market is not an isolated affair. It is extending into a wide variety of industrial and investment stocks, and is extending into the bond market. If it means nothing else, this is a sign of a few confidence on the part of investors and speculators. Appar- ently, they see signs of coming business recovery, else there would be no sharp rise in prices at the present time. One must not, of course, place too much reliance in the stock market developments. 'As yet, they do not seem to be supported by improvement in general industrial con- ditions. The but signs must be set fair for the future, or there would not be the renewal of confidence that has been seen in the last few days. One can only ex- press the hope that this condition is not temporary, but that it reflects a definite turn for the better, the turn for which the world has been waiting for nearly three vears. The Canada Year Book The Canada Year Book for 1932, a copy of which has just reached The Times office, "a volume of unusual value as a work of reference on things Canadian. Produced by the general statistical branch of the 4 Dominion Bureau of Statistics, it ig a Y veritable storehouse of the latest informa- tion on all phases of Canadian life, and particularly regarding the natural resourc- es, history, institutions and social and economic conditions of the country. An additional feature of this year's book is that it contains a complete sum- mary of the 1981 census of the Dominion, analyzing the population of Canada as to age, sex and religion, while a chapter on education and others on public health and benevolence movements during 1931 also provide a fund of valuable information. In every way, the Canada Year Book is a valuable work of reference, one which is of incalculable usefulness to those who are interested in keeping in touch with Cana- dian affairs. Editorial Notes The board of education is doing more than making a gesture in making new specifications to suit Canadian coal. It is providing a real trade opportunity for the Nova Scotia mines. It may take some argument and some compromise, but we venture to predict that Canada and Great Britain will make a satisfactory trade agreement before the Imperial conference is over. One of the reasons for believing that the Imperial Conference will end success- fully is that Mr. Bennett and his colleagues have a good idea of what will happen to the government if it should fail.

Other Bdiver's Comments GOVERNMENT BY THE PEOPLE (Sir Norman Angell in The Spectator, London) The last twenty vears have caused men to realize however dimly, that the last half-century or so has produced a new kind of world never before known, a world into which the political machinery of eighteenth-century "village democracy". which we persist in applying to it, simply does not fit. In this new and complicated world, problems of gov- ernment, include. whether we will or not, technical problems such as those of monetary policy, of the intricate and difficult adjustment of an enormous potential productive capacity to means of exchange, to consumers' habits, to long established handi- crafts and occupations and to capital stability, Does anyone believe, honestly, that the average voter, the harassed and worried commercial traveller, farmer, tradesman, artisan, tea shop waitress, music hall actress, can in spare time decide questions of this kind? It is, in fact, as outraging to common sense as the long ballot in America. UNEMPLOYMENT AND PROFIT (Toronto Globe) i An Ontario clergyman has been quoted as suz- gesting control of production of wealth for a per- iod of five years and distribution of the profits among all classes of the population. Manifestly, it would be necessarv to find the profits first. There is nothing more certain than that if production were proving profitable unemployment would be al- most unknown. BITS OF VERSE THE LONGEST DAY There is sadness in the longest day. We feel somehow the vear has sent his best; He seems to look around, then make his way, With shortening breath, down to his snow-wrapt rest. But 'tis not so--his best is vet to be, When his child, Autumn, shall with gifts abound, And when, at happv Yuletide, we shall see His snow-white head with wreaths of holly crowned. Then tell me not that life's best part is gone. Because the hich noon of the day is here; There is a beauty in the twilight deep One has not felt at any hour since dawn; And what is there tor tired man to fear When night comes in with stars and dreams and sleep ? ~~Alexander Louis Fraser.

B (Omperight, HWOR0H DEFECTS OF THE CHILD AND THE PRE.SCHOOL CHILD Part "1" It cannot be disputed that en- vironment has a great influence upon our actions. There is no per son living who is not in some way impressed by something and in many the impressio,, is for heir benefit because when all cther things are in proper coutr:i and functioning the person is 10t im- properly swayed by impressions. The above being true we should bear in mind the child, our child, influenced by impressions. Child- ren gain approximately 85 per cent of their knowledge through the eyes. In the interests of the child, its health, preservation, and effi- ciency we should not fail to realize what this means. Failure to absorb the "above may mea, development to greater handicap and in later lite, lowered efficiency. It has been truthfully said and by me often repeated "As the child is in its formative years so is its health later on." This truth only con- vinces us of the fact that one de- fect mav be closely related to an- other. If defects remain unreme- died much energy is wasted through the improper Yunctioning of some part of the system leading to lowered vitality and thus throw- ing the person open to infection and disease. (To be Continued) THAT there is no substitute for newspaper advertising, It is far the best by every test, more form makes Newspaper advertising means to a business than any other of advertising because it more for a business, Persistent, truthful advertising will afford positive and permanent relief for poor business, A pleasing thing about well adver- tised goods is the fact that they sell quickly and give satisfaction, Newspaper advertisements are husy little things, working all the time, helping business concerns to make money and helping the people to save money. They work for all. Business concerns that do not ad- vertise may know what ther are do- ing, 'but no one clse does. Live concerns that want to mal: sales quickly advantageously place their prop ion before the people and keep it hefore them by newspaper advertising. md YOU SAVE BY READING THE ADVERTISEMENTS AND BUY- ING WHERE THE BEST BUYS ARE. 15 NO FRIEND OF SECESSIONISTY General Smuts Emphasized His Position of Loyalty Pietermaritzburg, South Africa-- Gen. Jan Christian Smuts won a great personal victory and strength- ened his position as leader of the South African party when he firm- ly disapproved of the activities of the Natal secessionist group, So convincing was his speech that he was accorded a unanimous vote of loyalty by a large gathering of his party here. The movement to form a Natal group within the South African party to work for secession from the Unigan of South Africa, has re- ceived a serious set-back as a result of Gen. Smuts' statement. "I speak with perfect frankness and every esteem and respect for those who differ from me in Natal." he told the gathering. "But | say that rather than have such a group within the South African party let us agree to part in a friendly spirit. This proposed group or party with- in a party could not be agreed to by the South African party as a whole or by me as leader." The veteran leader explained he did not object to the advocacy of federation as long as it carried out the views on that subject expressed by the party caucus. South Africa, unlike Canada and Australia, is not a federation but a legislative union, Within © the framework of the South African act," declared Gen- eral Smuts, we can have devolution and the expansion of provincial powers to rehabilitate our system. No other course is ope, to us." A candidate for Parliament was addressing a meeting when he was frequently interrupted by a man who kept on saying, "You're silly." The candidate could stand it no longer and suddenly exclaimed: "You are drunk, man, drunk." "Yes, I know," replied the tipsy one, "but I'll be sober in the morn- ing and you'll still be silly." THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 10, 1932 CANADIAN NATIONAL NET EARNINGS SHOW INCREASE Montreal, Aug. o.~An in- crease of $1,332,861 in the net revenues of the Canadian Nation- al Railways for June 1932 as compared with June 1931 is shown in the monthly statement of operating revenues and ex- penses issued at Canaatan Na- tional headquarters today, This betterment in net was effected despite a heavy drop in the gros: receipts.

Murray, "ana- dian Press Staff Writer) Halifax, N.S.--Inverness has heen saved again. Clustered around one industry--a coal mine--thre. thousand inhabit- ants of the town have faced the threat of idleness and loss of im- come several times durihg the last quarter of a century, Clos- ure of the mine again scemed imminent this summer, but a co- operative plan that will give the community a chance to work out {ts own salvation now ig under agreement between the miners, the town and municipal councils and the provincial government. The Eastern Trust Company, technically owner of the mine, does not appear in the new pic- ture. Its position is such that its claim on the property will be handed over to the government on demand, at any time. According to the plan, the mine will be controlled by a com- mittee of five, which has been as- sured of co-operation from the miners and all representative or- ganizations of the town and county, Rev. Father Ronald Macdon- ald, parish priest who has cham- pioned causes of the miners for many years, heads the committee, Other members are John L. Fra- ser, Alex L. McIsaac, John VY. McNeil, miners, and J, B. Hen- derson, prominent merchant. All details of tlhe plan have not been completed but it is un- derstood the provincial govern- ment will guarantee losses up to a certain ambunt until tha com- mittee has its business on a prof- itable basis. The government has heen guaranteeing losses at Inverness for several years, and even if the co-operative venture serves only to reduce this liability it will be happy. Recent developments have indicated that the mine has pos- sibilities for greater and cheaper production, and .the government hopes to find a purchaser for the property when this is established. The story of how the mine fell virtually into the hands of the government dates back to the early days of development---the days when colorful figures played with leases at Inverness and ad- vertised their holdings all over Europe. Of the early prospectors, Wil- liam Penn Hussey, a Yankee, probably was the most--if not the best----remembered, Pictures of Hussey under a beaver hat, driving a seam om a claim, still are to be found in Canada, the United States and Europe. Records of his transactions are scattered, but it is remembered that he secured capital for his undertaking in Belgium, Switzer- land amd France. One record at the Province House notes that he transferred his leases to his wife in 1893. Hussey attempted to ship coal by water but continually had diffi- culty in getting hig schooners over the sand-bars. The harbor was blocked by ice during the winter, and he soon decided the mines could not be developed without a railway to the Gut of Canso, which is open for naviga- tion at all seasons. Many Nova Scotians remember their losses in connection with the early transactions at Inver- ness, Few, however, will attempt to trace the lease changes. The first real encouragement for in- terested parties came in the late nineties, when Mackenzie and Mann (Sir William Mackenzie and Sir Donald Mann) undertook to build a railway from Inver- ness to Port Hastings, a distance of 56 miles. This great firm own- ed the Halifax and South West- ern, the Quebec and Lake St. John and the Canadian Northern Quebec railways, Their plan was to supply a transcontinental rail- way with coal from Inverness. The railroad out of Inverness was completed in 1902, and the history of the mine from that year onward is complete. Mackenzie and Mann organized the Inverness-Richmbnd Coller- ies and Railway Company of Canada, Limited, which acquired more than 100 property leases. Fn 1903 this company trans- ferred its holdings to the Imver- ness Railway and Coal Company, under which name the mine has been operated since. The first company had given a mortgage to the National Trust Company, and it was held by that concern as late as 1925, when the property was deeded to the Eastern Trust Company by the Inverness Coun- ty sheriff. Production of the mine in 1903 amounted to 145,239 tons, In 1911 it reached 291,687 tons, the peak. In later years the ton- nage dropped, and between 1923 and 1931 it averaged less than 130,000. All had gone well until 1915, when the condition of the com- pany was such that the property was turned over to a receiver. John Macgillivray, who had been general manager for four years. Operation was continued, how- ever, and in 1919 Mr, Macgilli- vray resigned the recelvership to the Eastern Trust Company. Five years later the trust company an- nounced what had been threaten- ed before--that the mine would have to be closed. It was closed for about four months in the summer of 1924, In this year the railway out of Inverness was purchased by the Canadian Na- tional Railways. Realizing what it meant to Inverness town and county to have 6500 men out of work, the government stepped in and by guaranteeing losses up to $25,000 enabled the operators to continue. The $25,000 was not all spent until 1927, The govern- ment comtinued to guarantee losses until this summer, when it was decided the present trend could not be followed longer. Again faced with having their only industry closed, the people of Invermess rose to the occasion and suggested the plan of co- operation now to be tried. To spur them on, they have the vision of Broughton, another Cape Breton mining towm which is deserted except for a care- taker, GANGSTER WARS IN BEE GOLONY Showers, Heat, or Racket. eering Likely to Cause Battle in the Hives Cincinnati, 0. -- Bees, says Frank Bornhoffer, who owns 70,000 of them, have gang wais of their own.

Herman Rompain, first Senior winner for the prove ince of Alberta, declares he spent more than 1500 actual working hours on his model, which would mean that, day and night, he pondered over specifications and followed plans and instructions to the most minute detail to com- plete his coach. The coach itseif testifies to the expertness of its builder. It is a near masterpiecs and should go far in the inter national competition for Univer- sity scholarships next month, Wilbrod Cote, Laporte Avenue, Edmundston, N.B.,, was another youngster to find himself topping the list of contestants and who apparently worked under trying handicaps, All the tools employed in his coach-building work were modelled and built by his owa hands and his coach, a gem of craftsmanship, impressively re- flects the skill of its creator. Another boy, too poor to pur- chase any outside materials, hued a section from his mother's iron- ing board to build his coach body, and utilized hair pins for tiny wiring jobs and other useful pieces he could pick up around his home. Often he worked as lata as two o'clock in thé morning to complete his model coach in time. The pride he now takes in his beautifu] model, he says, more than repays him for his efforts.
