'The Government's Relief Plans The recommendations of the Ontario government for the carrying on of direct relief work by the municipalities of On- tario is now in the hands of the mayor of Oshawa. After a long delay, the city council, and the citizens generally, now know what the council will have to do in order to comply with the wishes of the government. In some matters, the situa- tion is clarified, in others there is still some doubt. For instance, it is hard to say, from a cursory study of the recommendations, what Oshawa will be expected to do in the way of forming a central relief organiza- tion. The report recommends that the organization of a public welfare board in each municipality to administer direct re- lief. It further suggests that there be a league of organizations interested in public welfare to act in an advisory capacity, and to arrange for the conduct of campaigns in connection with the raising of funds. That is exactly what the Citizens' Advisory Re- lief Committee and The Times have been urging that the city council should do. Further on in the report, however, there is a clause which may upset all this. It states that municipalities are expected to meet one-third of the cost of relief, with the provincial and federal governments providing the balance. In the case of muni- cipalities unable to pay their share, how- ever, the board will consist of three mem- bers appointed by the provincial govern- ment, which will have control over local activities. There is more than a possibility that Oshawa will be in this class.' It will be recalled that the city has asked the gov- ernment to meet a larger proportion of the cost of direct relief in this city, on the ground that it could not pay one-third. The Ontario Municipal Board has recommend- ed that in the case of Oshawa, the city be asked to pay only twenty per cent, and the two governments between them eighty per cent. If that ratio is accepted, one would naturally assume that Oshawa would be classed among those cities which are unable to meet their proportion--one- third--of the cost of direct relief, and that a provincial board will take over the control here. What a blessing for the city council it would be were that to be the case. The report, however, does not make this point sufficiently clear, and it will have to be further interpreted before Oshawa knows just where it stands. One pleasing feature of the recommend- ations is that to definitely settle the status of shelter as a form of direct relief. The government has given approval to the payment of shelter, to an amount not to exceed one and one-half times the taxes on the home, and with a maximum pay- ment of $16.00 per month. This is a great advance on the previous policy of un- certainty. It lets the council and the pro- perty-owners know where they stand. This policy, in spite of its restriction as to amount, will satisfy the property- owners, who will have the satisfaction of securing at least enough revenue to meet the taxes on their properties, and possibly something in addition to provide for main- tenance. The situation is such in Oshawa that this provision for shelter will be very welcome, and will solve one of the greatest problems of relief in this city. The standard for food to be supplied, as recommended in the report, is somewhat higher than is allowed in Oshawa but it must be taken into consideration that the council, by operating its relief store and buying in large quantities by tender, is able to supply a great deal more than could be purchased by the individual on a relief order on a retail store for the same expen- diture. Many details of policy are dealt with, covering the supplying of clothing and of medical help when required. These recom- mendations all serve to clarify the relief situation and bring it down to a standard- ized basis. So far as Oshawa is concerned, the coun- cil, to some extent, knows what it can do, .and will be in a much better position to deal with the problem of relief than it has ~ been heretofore. Until the question of the. form of administration is settled, how- ever, there can be little progress, but it "is hoped. that an early application can.be made of the new policies relating to shelter. The other phases of the work in Oshawa are being well handled, and with the shel- ter question answered, from the govern- ment's standpoint, that, too, should be taken care of in as efficient a manner as can be devised. Presenting the Colours There is a wealth of military tradition and history behind the ceremony of pre- senting the colours to a regiment, such as is to be done at Alexandra Park tomorrow afternoon, when the Ontario Regiment will receive a handsome set of colours from the hands of Mrs. T. Edgar Houston. - The carrying of colours by a regiment is a survival of customs of the knights of old, who used to have their standard-bearers go ahead of them carrying their family colors. Regiments no longer march into battle with their colours flying, but yet the old tradition persists, and it is a mat- ter of pride for any regiment to have colours torcarry on ceremonial occasions. There is a dignity and impressiveness about the presentation ceremony. The peo- ple of Oshawa are having a rare opportun- ity tomorrow afternoon to see it. Military displays are not so popular in this country as they used to be, yet they are fascinat- ing, and the presentation of colours is one of the most spectacular. It is hoped that the people of Oshawa will show their inter- est in the regiment by turning out in their thousands to see the ceremony at Alex- andra Park, for it will be a long time be- fore its like is seen in Oshawa again. Editorial Notes Margaret Ravior won the marathon swim yesterday. If George Young does likewise next week, what a happy wedding it will be. The landlords have had to wait a long time for a decision on the shelter problem. Now that it has come, they will be more than satisfied. The C.N.E. is off to a splendid start. Its success this year would be a fine starting- point for all the fairs which follow. And if extra effort counts for anything, the Oshawa Fair should be the most suc- cessful ever held here. The sponsors of the vegetable show for unemployed men need more prizes. Here is a splendid opportunity for citizens to encourage the. efforts of these hard-work- ing gardeners. | Other Editor's Comments CITIZENSHIP (Christian Science Munitor) Citizenship is a prominent issue ip the world to- day. The necessity of gaining a higher standard in regard to it has caused nations and communities to formulate for themselves codes specifying the qualifications which go to make up the desirable citizen; and much is being done to educate public opinion in this direction, since it is recognized as being a matter of first importance, Long before the question of what constitutes a good citizen was brought to the fore in present-day affairs, the essen- tial requirements had been stated in the fifteenth Psalm and in the Sermon on the Mount. What were the essentials for citizenship as stated in the fifteenth Psalm? It is illuminating to find that they were much the same as would to-day mark good citizenship. Translated into modern speech they are found to be uprightness, truthfulness, loving-kindness, neighbourliness, unswerving probity, magnanimity, generosity--virtues which do. not change their value with the passage of years. They are qualities of thought which are untouched by time, independent of differing civilizations, univer- sal in thelr application. Our understanding of these qualifications sus- tains us in the testing times in our contracts with one another in the home. in business, and In our activities as church members: and it is from the viewpoint of our spiritual citizenship that we learn to stand firm for goodness and truth through these various experiences.

When the Tow,, Crier first saw the word "Welch" he was amazed and dismaved, He wondered what a real Welshman's feelings would be under such circumstances as he is partly Welsh himself. Enquiry el- icits the information, however, that "Welch" is the official spelling adopted in the title of this old Brit- ish Regiment, which is at present stationed at Cardiff, Wales, the "¢" evidently being an obsolete form of the word now commonly spelt with an "s".

Your statement that he Chamber of Commerce shoulo keep its eyes open. If the mem- bers of the Utillnes Committen of the City of Oshawa, do like- wise and gee that Oshawa gels her power at the same price as Toronto, we would get our quota of industries but never whila disparity in prices exists as was described in your paper a few days ago. The Chamber of Commerce may as well be out of the picture it the Hydro is allowed to pena! ize its Oshawa patrons to the ex- tent as shown in previous issues.
