It Can Be Done - and It Was Some time ago in these columns, we ven- tured the opinion that if the people of Dshawa and district made up their minds to do it, they could make this year's Fair a complete success. We stressed the neces- sity +pf 'the greatest possible co-operation between the officers and directors of the Faiand the citizens generally, and of pep support being given to the Fair. & the Fair is over, and those things which we said could be done have been done. Not 'for many years has any Fair shawa met with such a measure of s. To begin with, the weather on ys was ideal for attracting a large Sed and the attendance, between 17,000 arid' 18,000, at a most conservative esti- mate, was well in advance of what it has been for some years. One does not need to say much regarding the exhibit side of the Fair. It' was an overwhelming success, and those who were in charge of the various departments are to be congratulated. It. is too early, as yet, to say anything ing the financial side of the Fair, but we are confident that when the books are straightened out, there will be a sub- stantial balance to apply to the debts ac- ciinmulated in previous years. "Kt this year's Fair the people of Oshawa and. district have demonstrated that they can do things when they want to do them. No Fair directors ever faced a tougher year than those of 1932. No Fair directors ever worked harder. And it must be grat- ifying to them to realize that in spite of the hard times in the community, their ef- forts were well supported, and the Fair was made a success. This is a good omen for the future. If a Fair could be made successful in 1932, then there is no telling how: great the developments will be when better times return, so that those whe are chirged with the responsibilities for the Fair of next year can look forward with hope to even excelling what has been done this year. Wasting Time in School The Oshawa Board of Education has fol- lowed the example of the Kitchener board, as cited in The Times a week or two ago, and has decided to keep a close check on the record of students attending the Col- legiate and Vocational Institute. While the report providing for this did not definitely state the board's intentions, it is quite clear that the idea behind this step is to eliminate from the school those students who have neither the capacity nor the willingness to take advantage of the edu- cational opportunities provided. ; In other words, the board proposes to weed out the dullards and the -slackers who are wasting their time in the Collegi- ate and Vocational Institute, and thus re- duce the cost of secondary education to the ratepayers of Oshawa. This is a wise policy. In every secondary school, we care not where it may be, there are students who are. simply filling in their time. Their fumber has increased in recent years, be- eause many of them have been sent to school simply because they have been un- able to find employment, and school is a good place to keep them out of mischief. They have neither the ability nor the de- sire to secure an education which will be valuable to them in later life, but spend their time attending school, with little thought of what they get out of it. ; Unfortunately, it costs money to keep these poor students at school, just as much as to educate a good student. Their num- bers add to the teaching requirements, and fo the general expense of Collegiate and Vocational Institute maintenance, Faced with the necessity of paying expenditures the bone, the board of education has one the right thing in striking at the toot of the evil of wasting time in school, and the ratepayers will heartily support the board in its decision not to allow the school to be made a place for simply fill- ing in time. : Foolhardy Flying '. The "Flying Hutchinson Family" ig safe after all. Forced down on the lonely coast of Greenland, they were rescued from their perilous plight by a British trawler, and landed safély on shore, where they will have to wait until a: relief steamer can | reach them. : The Hutchinsons are safe, but their ex- perience, along with the tragedies which have befallen others who attempted trans- atlantic flights without adequate safe- guards, should be a lesson to other notor- iety-seekers. This flight was a stunt pure and simple. There was no useful purpose to be served by it. Those in the large aero- plane are fortunate in that they escaped with their lives, and had they "died, they would have been victims solely of a desire on the part of a man to create something of a sensation by a holiday flight to Europe. It was a foolhardy thing, too, to.take two young children away on a venture of this kind. Marooned on a desolate and barren Arctic coast, one can well imagine their sufferings. One can well imagine what they have undergone as a result of this hazardous venture. They are not likely to forget in a hurry what they have been compelled to undergo because of their father's desire for notoriety. As a matter of fact, there should be some means of restraining such foolhardy expeditions. There is nothing to be gained by them. When a man attempts to take his own life by drowning, or by shooting himself, he is usually punished by the law. It is a pity that the same law cannot be invoked to prevent a man throwing away his life, and the lives of others by making aerial flights which carry with them more than the usual amount of hazard and risk. Zditorial Notes Congratulations are due to W. E. N. Sin- clair and his fellow-officers and directors of the Oshawa Fair, They achieved success with a capital letter. Now let us make the 1933 Fair bigger and better than ever. The citizens of Oshawa will sympathize with Mayor Hawkes in his illness, and wish him a speedy recovery. It looks as if Germany's only hope for the present is the establishment of a dic- tatorship, with Hindenburg as the big boss. So many men, from different spheres of activity, are confident that better condi- tions are here, that we are inclined to the view that there must be something in what they say. Where there is smoke there is usually fire. BR mE Now that collegiate and vocational school students must really work in order to stay at school, they may not be so many young men and women anxious to go there, ------ Now the people of Oshawa know what this district can do in the production of choice fruit, vegetables and other farm products. | Other Editor's Comments WAR DEBTS : (Washington Post) Ii the debtor governments expect atorium from Uncle Sam, they probably will be disappointed.

A few years even a few months, ago political observers among the wets were doubtful if the amendment would ever go. They said thirteen states could always be found to support the amendment. Now even the Ary are wondering where their thirteen states are to be found. North Carolina and Virzinia are lost. California has left the fold. Kansas looks like the only sure thing.

BITS OF HUMOR ie EXPLAINED Se ------_a Throughout a severe cross-examination the de- fendant had maintained that he had punished his victim only a "little bit." "Well, about. how hard?" asked the prosecuting attorney. "Oh, just a little bit," repeated the prisoner. "Now," replied the lawyer, "for the benefit cof the Judge and the jury, just step down here, and, with me for the subject, show just how hard you mean." The prisoner stepped down, slapped the lawyer in the face, seized him bodily, and finally, with a supreme effort, litted him from the floor and hurl- ed him across a table. Then he turned to the Judge and said: "Your Honor and gentlemnn about One-tenth that hard." ~Capper's Weekly, "by C.H. Tuck Opt. .

If we must enjoy this confidence as it should be enjoyed we should learn to ¢ honestly and grow so that we may advise soundly and wisely. We are sure to feel a sound reward in, the satisfaction of doing good tor its own sake, and if this does not ocnvey a feeling of sufficient tangibility we will reap a sure re- ward in having done our best. There are wide-spread campaigns throughout the land against the fit- ting methods and peddling. There is a certain class of people who wiil think only of the sale they make and as long as the cheap material can be found they are not unwilling vendors.
