Are We Around The Corner? There is a better feeling in the air than there was a few months ago. In spite of the conditions which exist in Oshawa, there is an atmosphere of confidence that things are going to be better, a feeling that at last the corner has been turned, and this country is on the road to better days. Are we really around the corner? Look- ing over the columns of the daily news- papers, and particularly the financial pages, and observing certain factors which enter into the Canadian situation, there are signs that the corner has been turned. On no other basis can one explain the ex- traordinary increase in the value of stocks and bonds in the last few weeks. The bull movement on the stock exchanges is per- sisting. Had it been merely a bubble, it would have been pricked in its infancy. But it is continuing, and levels are being fixed which a few months ago would have seemed impossible. Whatever are the basic factors behind the movement, it is appar- ent that the financial leaders have con- fidence in them, and are satisfied that the upward move is justified. ' * * * * There are other factors, too, which lead to optimism that the corner has been turn- ed. The United States Steel Corporation, whose actions can be taken as a fair index of prospects, has issued its first vote of confidence of business improvement, the chairman of the board of that company making a statement that a buying move- ment is at hand, and announcing that the company had set aside five million dollars for improvements and replacements of equipment. From such a company, this is significant, and leads to hope that the ' corner has been turned. Ld LJ] * * In the automobile industry, there are a few significant factors. In the first ten days of August, sales of Chevrolet cars in the United States showed an increase of 16 per cent. as compared with the same period in July. In Canada, July production of automobiles was up five per cent. over June, and the chief factor was an increase of over 100 per cent. in the exports of automobiles last month as compared with the previous month. The July production of cars and trucks in Canada exceeded that for July of last year by 77 per cent. The continued improvement of foreign markets, it is stated, had much to do with this record, and is highly encouraging. * * * * \ Canada, too, can hope for an expansion of business because of its wheat crop of this year. This year there are 440,000,000 bushels of wheat to be sold, an increase of 'some 150,000,000 over last year and 200,- 000,000 over the crop of 1930. Even at the low price of 50 cents a bushel, this means the wheat crop will bring $75,000,000 more new money into Canada than was the case with last year's crop, and about $100,- 000,000 more new money than the 1930 crop produced. Wheat, too, is moving to the markets of the world much more rapid- ly than in 1931, In the first two weeks of the present crop year, Canada's wheat shipments to other countries were 6,233, 891 bushels, as compared with 3,651,231 bushels for the same two weeks of last year. * * * #* It is significant, too, that more of Can- ada's wheat is now being shipped in Cana- dian vessels and by the Canadian route. In the week ending August 14, Canadian wheat was shipped down the lakes in 26 Canadian vessels and only six United States ships, so that, at last, the prepon- derance is swinging towards Canadian transportation systems. This will become more marked as a result of the preference of six cents a bushel given to Canadian Wheat in the British market. To secure this preference, the wheat must be shipped from Canadian ports, which will mean that tens of millions of bushels of wheat will be added to the amount providing traffic for Canadian railways and Canadian steam- ships 'sailing from Canadian ports. » * * * Canada's whole trade situation, in fact, seems to be on the upward grade. In July, exports amounted to over $42,300,000, the highest for any month this year. Canadian exprts to Great Britain amounted to $16,- 047,000, an increase of $4,675,000 over une, and of $1,845,000 over July, of 1981. / And this has been accomplished even be- fore the Imperial Economic Conference was opened, showing that it was a normal development, and one which can reason- ably be expected to be greatly increased when the Imperial Conference agreements come into effect. ' L a * * Without being unduly optimistic, we feel that all these factors give indications that there are reasonable grounds for the asser- tion that we are around the corner, that conditions are on the upgrade, and that, before long, the benefit of this will become more widespread, and will have its effect upon employment throughout the whole of Canada. We are not yet out of the woods, but we are getting there, and if present indications are maintained, and there comes a reasonable increase in wheat prices, in common with other commodities which are rising, thus adding another fac- tor of hope, we can look for better times in the near future than have been experi- enced for the last two or three years. The Empire's Show Window Today the Canadian National Exhibition opens its doors to the public. From a local exhibition for Toronto in 1879, it has be- come the great show-window of the Cana- dian nation, in which the products-of Can- ada, in agriculture and industry, in lum- bering and mining, in handicrafts and in all those fields which call for human en- deavor, are annually exhibited to about two million people. This year, it has become, in a greater sense than ever before, the show-window of the whole British Empire. The Imperial Conference has stimulated interest in Em- pire products, and the various parts of the Empire, particularly the mother country, have taken advant of the exceptional opportunity ie of familiarizing the people of Canada with what they can pro- duce. From this standpoint alone,sapart from all entertainment features--the Canadian National Exhibition of 1932 is outstand- . ing, and is worth visiting. It has long since ceased to be the "Toronto Fair." It has become the show-place of the British Em- pire, and is worthy of the keenest interest of all people who are concerned about making true Imperial co-operation the key- note of Canadian life. Editorial Notes Peter Kostur's explanation calling of the deportation pro#st meeting on Sunday clears the air so far as he is concerned, since he states positively that the Communists had nothing to do with it, and the editorial comment of Wednesday possibly did him an injustice, since he takes full responsibility for calling the meeting. rding the "The prayer that reforms the sinner and heals the sick is an absolute faith that all things are possible to God. . . . "--Mary Baker Eddy. "These spiritual joys are dogged by no sad sequels."--Glanville. "A good intention clothes itself with sudden power."--Emerson. | Other Editor's Comments KEEPING FIT (Sunday Dispatch) Pressure of work is no excuse for not keeping fit. If it were, the Prince of Wales would be per- manently "out of condition," for he is one of the busiest men in the world. calls upon his energies, he still finds time for his \ regular morning exercise, his squash racquets, and his golf, It is only the man with nothing to do who can never find time to do anything. The Prince is wise in setting apart a small portion of his day for the important business of proper exercise. He is an ambassador of health, as well as an Ambas- sador of Empire. He has proved that one great reason for keeping fit is pressure of work.

He defined lite in these words, "This is life eternal, that they might know Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent." The heavens and earth around us strikingly manifest the power of God; but it is in Jesus that men gain that knowledge of The Heavenly Father which im- parts real life. On what other day can private devotion be so well en- joyed, community worship be so readily observed or life giving in- timacy with Father, So,, and Spirit be so richly developed in our own homes and in God's House as on the Lord's Day? Is it strange that men and women in all lands and in many tongues, have sung, still sing and will continue to sing: O Dav of rest and gladness, 0 day of joy and lizht. Dav of all the week the best, Emblem of eternal rest. Two months ago intimation was made, through the press, that on Sundays pilgrimages would be made to gardens open on that day for inspection. So far as my memory and observation go, the existence of churches, Sunday schogls and their respective services were ignor- ed. If any announcement -was made that these excursions would operate before, between or after church services, I did not observe it. A courteous inquiry respecting the possibility of arranging for a visit to these gardens at some hour on Wednesday or Saturday after- noons, addressed on June 24 to an officer of the Horticultural Society, is still unanswered. "J.D.M." did not and does not in the slightest degree condemn anyone for view- ing beautiful gardens on Sunday, providing that no more serious duty is thereby neglected; but he did experience deep regret and aston- ishment that a responsible, repre sentative society should public announce pilgrimages in apparenth for which the Christian Sunda was given, Nor would "J.D.M.", had he the power, close a park, veil a flower, or silence a bird on Sunday. Rath- er far would he have every church and home adoriied with beautiful flowers and every agency contribut- ing to real joy, at its best, Who informed the "Town Crier" that Jesus and His disciples were taking an afternoo,, walk. service in the synagogue, and as at the time the disciples were hungry, it is more probable that they were returnins from the service by the usual path 'through a cornfield We read that the Sabbath Day, Jesus as His custom was, went to the synagogue. | very earnestly appeal for the ca-opera- tion of "Town Crier" and of thoughtful members of the Horti- cultpral Soclety in support of a on honouring to God. Oshawa, Aug. 25, 1932, JDM This depression will pass oy in due time, like others have done. But in the meantime, when many need help, we ask that a thought be giv- en to the many unemployed every- where throughout the country. On the subject of unemployment and the need of necessities for men and women who are willing to work but who ire denied that blessing, and who need food and clothes, many of our states are doing little but passi=; the buck to the nation- al government. With this thought, we beg leave to believe it is a mat- ter for the public to take the lead, with a view to stirring official con- science, We are aware of the argument that the national government cannot support those distressed by force ot icircumstances. We are aware, too, that in official circles the most stringent measures of retrenchment hare imperative if this country is soon to return tn normal times.

EYE CARE AND EYE STRAIN DEFECTS OF THE CHILD AND THE PRE-SCHOOL CHILD Part "14" Malnutrition in school children holds them back physically and mentally and the effort put forth to overcome this handicap leads to injured health, lowered vitality and eyestrain, and is the foundation of other ills and defects too numerous to mention, Carelessness about food is an im- portant factor contributing to mal- nutrition in children, The condition may be detected by underweight, lack of color, listlessness and weak appearance to cyes, Perhaps dark circles may appear around the eyes accompanied by a nervous and rest- less disposition. To gain back to the path of 'health, consideration should be ziven to health habits by following rules of diet, rest, sleep nd open air. Tt would be expected then that some improvement would show both physically and mentally. (To be Continued) Newcastle News {| (Miss Cora Butler, Correspondent) NEWCASTLE, Aug. 22.

WLAUGHLIN PREDICTS TRADE IMPROVEMENT (Continued from page 1) principle that "money talks," the dialogue narrowed down to a dl- rect talk between myself and the youthful looking but sage-like Mr. R. 8. McLaughlin, whom 1 had twice interviewed in other days, each interview crowned by the subsequent reception, of his sending of a coplous and frag- rant tin of a specia] brand of tobacco imported from California, which he himself emplpys for cloudy meditating. 1 have u> reason to think that the same apostolic sequence wily be ob: served this time, but I hava learned in whatsoever state I am therewith to be content. '""'Has General Motors made heavy weather of late, Mr, Mc- Laughlin?" 1 inquired. "Big re- duction in output, of course," was the reply, "How big?" I pursued. Where upon Mr. McLaughlin gave me the story. Before he was through, my human heart was so touched that IT said: "I would take it kindly--I believe it my duty--- to pay for your breakfast this morning, It is little, I know--a a matter of $2 or so at the moat you had nothing but canteloup: porridge and ham and eggs and pancakes and toast and coffse and grapefruit. But, at this crisis, every little helps." "Deeply Touched" I could see that the great man --perhaps our next lieutenant. | governor--wag deeply touched, He didn't exactly fill up--for that process had been already at- tended to--hut there were visible signg of emotion as he declined my aid in the hour of what I nat urally thought to be his stern necessity, And, a few minutes | later, when he produced a wad about the size of a soccer footha'l, my tenderness froze to the bo! tom and I inwardly deplored the tardiness of perception which had made me a postscript to the feast instead of leading paragraph. "To continue," I renewed, 'have the motorcar sellers made any money this last year?" "Not in Canada, at any rate, Listen to these figures: At the peak, Can- ada and the Unif§d States turned out 5,500,000 cars. This year, 1,200,000. Our own concern, in 1929, produced 104,000--ths year 20,000." "What do you think of the Imperial Conference results?" I leaped aside to inquire, stunncd by previous statistics. "The pene- tration point has not come yet," was the reply. Teeth Not Yet Seen 'Are you, personally, satiz- fied?" "I don't know. We don't know the details yet, The teeth of the thing have not yet heen ox- posed. And it seems as if we can't find out." "Any detail of interest, so far as you know, about your own | business?' "Well, at one time the British content to be used in the building of cars was 23 cent. We is to- be raised to 75 per cen. That's a significant fact, I should say." U.S. Taking Alarm "What do you think the American reaction conference's doings?" "They're | taking alarm all right. We thre~ | back from the States-- and we had lots of fun with them ahout it, The whole tendency of the thinking people, so far as we could learn, is to now curse the Smot--Hawley tariff and all its works, and all kindred spirit and agencies of {rade exclusiveness That seems nearly universal ove: there." Only Usual Closure "When wil] your own works at Oshawa be opened again, Mr. McLaughlin?" I digressed. "Never been closed---except after tho accustomed fashion, for mak'ng inventory. We have done that for: years." "Then the present suspensicn has no doleful wmignificance?" 1 added, 'Certainly not--just the customary thing." - "Was that always undor- stood?" "Yes, And we tried to have the puplic understana rt too. Our Mr. H. A. Brown an- nounced just what I have told you, to obviate any disquietu.le or misunderstanding." "When wil] you reopen?" 'Some time in September--the will be to this lower operating cost. The combine has now been operated in Ottawa for the Jast four years and complete information on the equipment used, cost of operation and the results of experiments conducted each vear, may be found in past annual re- Perr i later increased that to | 50 per cent. But now, I believe, it | date varies." '"Hag the closing brought much hardship in Oshawa?" "A de- gree of displacement, of course-- but no worse than in any othor maufacturing town, The civil: problem, of care, is of course a difficult ome, but being coped with." "Mr. McLaughlin, give me an opinion on this clipping from this morning's paper, from Ottawa, It says the Dominion Bureau of Statistics reports an improve ment, in the automobile industry, in July, of five per cent. over June and 77 per cent. over Juiy of a year ago. A corresponding revival is attributed to foreign markets, Please pronounce on the matter." "It has no significance," replied Canada's nearest approach tothe height, breadth and thick- ness of Henry Ford. "The fact is this--that the Ford people have been very slow with their new models--three - months behind with their back orders, This made these exceptional circum- stances--the Fords have been extra busy, but they are slack now. At present they have more cars than they can sell.' Sees Revival Here "But, Mr. McLaughlin, don't you think we're getting 'round the corner'? I pressed. "In Carn- ada, ves. But not in the United States." "Do you think Canada's ra- suscitation is near?" "Yes, in tho light of this year's great crop. I estimate it at about 440,000,000 bushels. If only the farmer could get a few cents more a busheil British preference means six cents more--and if the Canadian government could but add an equal amount, the 'corner,' in my opinion, would soon hegin to disappear. I am convinced, sur- veying many symptoms, that what we call the 'times' are distinctly on the upward and onward grade." Rising Prices Sign "What will be the first real harbinger of returning spring, Mr. McLaughlin?" I asked, "This, when prices rise. Let prices once come up and we'l] be right around that blessed corner," { avowed the motor king. We were by this time in the Union station.
