The Big Day Tomorrow Tomorrow the Oshawa Fair will be open- ed to the public. Today, eager and willing workers are making great preparations for what is expected to be an outstanding Fair. Exhibits are pouring into the build- ings and tents, the stables are being made ready for the livestock which will occupy them, the midway is being made ready for operation, and all the little last minute de- tails are being worked out. # Tomorrow, at 1.30 in the afternoon, the Fair will be officially opened by Hon. G. Howard Ferguson, former prime minister of Ontario and now Canadian High Com- missioner to London, England. His coming to the Fair in itself is an event of major importance, for it places the Oshawa Fair in a privileged class. Mr. Ferguson has al- ready opened the Ottawa Fair, today he is opening the Western Ontario Fair at London, and tomorrow he comes to Osh- awa to perform the same duty. Apart al- together from politics, Mr. Ferguson 1s an outstanding citizen and servant of Canada, and as such, is worthy of being welcomed by the largest crowd which has ever been seen at the fair grounds. For months the directors and officers of the Fair have been working hard for its success. Tomorrow will decide the extent to which their efforts are going to be re- warded. Oshawa and district people have their opportunity to show that they ap- preciate hard work in a community effort, and they can show that appreciation by turning out in record numbers to give a rousing send-off to the 1932 edition of the Oshawa Fair. . Welsh Coal for Canada A strong effort is being made to induce the people of Canada to use Welsh anthra- cite coal instead of that which is imported from the United States. This is one of the great contributions which this country could make to the upbuilding of greater trade with the United Kingdom British coal miners have been among the chief sufferers from the world depression, and if Canada could secure the bulk of her an- thracite coal from Wales, instead of from Pennsylvania, their condition would be helped very materially. Present eonditions are very favorable for the development of an extensive busi- ness in Welsh anthracite coal in this coun- try. The exchange rate between Canada and the United States means that Cana- dians have to pay at least $1.10 for every dollar's worth of Pennsylvania coal. On the other hand, the exchange rate with Britain operates to make Welsh coal cheap- er in this country. Therefore, the logical thing is for Canada to switch her coal business from the United States to Great Britain. As to the quality of Welsh anthracite, several Montreal users have been finding' it superior to the Pennsylvania product. They have found that it is higher in heat values and has less ash than the United States anthracite. One user is quoted in the Montreal Star as saying "T like Welsh coal so much better now that I would pay five dollars a ton more to get it, and I would pay it because I think it is worth it." With all these factors in favor of Welsh anthracite coal, there is no reason why it should not be used in this country, and eventually displace American fuel, and send Canadian dollars to Britain instead of across the border where they are discount- ed. We Grow Impatient Up and down the highways of every land there drives a type of motorist who best can be described as a parasite .Literally, he lives on the bounty of others. Approaching a crossroad, he roars through; the other fellow is always the one to slow down, As- suming that he is the only one in crowded traffic who is in a hurry, he cuts in and out of the lines with no regard for the rights of others. "He trades brazenly on their desire to avoid accidents--and bump- ed fenders. In short, he is an unqualified nuisance. Darwin, were he alive today, would doubtless counsel us not to be too hastily provoked at this sort of individual, point- ing out that the law of natural selection would eventually operate. Ang so it does, and will. But we grow impatient, -» Community Loyalty ' Merchants in several Ontario towns are using the local press urging buy-at-home habits on the part of the people. Commun- ity loyalty is very essential in these times. In smaller towns complaint is sometimes heard that local merchants do not carry what the pecple want. Again, we hear that prices are lower somewhere else (at spec- ial sales probably) and some people make the trip to get something at a slight re- duction, not counting the cost of the trip and the time. Again, some have the mail order habit and believe it to be their sal- vation. A saturation of community loyalty would change all this and the merchants would always have in stock a larger choice. Nothing would please the merchants better than to know the home people would buy from them the same things they order by mail or make trips to purchase in other places. The merchants need to do their part also. They do, as a rule, have in stock the iden- tical articles that people want but often neglect to tell the people about them. Co- operation on the part of the seller with the buyer will develop the buy-at-home habit. --Renfrew Mercury: Editorial Notes Oshawa's settlers on the land are going to the New Liskeard district. Their fellow- citizens will wish them the greatest of success in their pioneering venture. Summer is apparently = quite reluctant to give place to fall. And no one will object if it lasts right through to the first of De- cember--except the coal men. Why is it that there is erable amount to be added as 'extras' whenever a public building is erected En- gineers and architects should be capable to knowing in advance just what is wanted. usually a consid- "The experience of seeing Mr. Ferguson and Mr. Sinclair, on the same platform without getting into a scrap, should be suf. ficient to attract a large crowd to the Oshawa Fair on opening day.

Gray, president, Bates College.

Other Editor's Comments PREPARATIONS FOR WINTER (Progres de Hull) In every paper in the country it has been pre- dicted that, in the not too distant future, cconomi conditions will return to normal. We hope the pre- dictions turn out to be 1 tain--that in a few and the question of ployed will be our most the duty, therefore, enough to have positic to winter already and to start bu provisions for the comir tion of them. This is an which it be good to revive, Let us take advantage of tl present low prices and put oursclves pos tion of being able to get through the winter with- out becoming public charges.

This fact is well known to all motorists, although many of them pay no attention to it. They should realize that safety at crossings depends chiefly upon caution on the part of the mot- orist, The motorist who drives across railroad tracks without looking for approaching trains is just plain foolish. When they try to beat trains across, they are worse than foolish, It doesn't pay the automobilist to take chances. The way to avoid trouble is by not taking chances. Taking chances may cost them their life. TAKING CHANCES MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT THAT A LIFETIME CANNOT REPAIR. ' § Hampton News (Miss L. Horn, Correspondent) HAMPTON, Sept. 9.--Mr, 'and 'Mrs. C. W.
