The New Filtration Plant Tomorrow sees the formal opening of the latest addition to Oshawa's facilities for the serving of its citizens,--the new filtration plant of the waterworks system. Built at a cost of over $155,000, the new filtration plant contains all that is new and modern in the way of equipment for the purifica- tion of a water supply, and for maintaining the supply up to the city's requirements. This marks a step forward*for the city, in that 'it gives Oshawa an assurance of an abundant supply of pure water, as pure as the science of man can make it, and that in itself is an asset to any community. Oshawa's waterworks system has trav- elled far since the days when the people of the community had to depend on wells and springs for their water supply. It was only twenty-eight years ago, in 1904, that work was started on the foundation of the present waterworks system. Since then, however, Oshawa has grown, and. its water- works system has kept pace with its growth. Indeed, it has been the aim of those charged with the provision of the city's water supply to keep ahead of the needs of the city. That has been done in the present instance, for the new filtration plant has been built so ss to provide for the city's fut eeds, and has been designed so that, if extensions are required at any future time, they can be provided without altering or scrapping any of the new equipment. : Thus the opening of the new filtration plant is quite an event in Oshawa's history, and it is to be hoped that many citizens will take advantage of the opportunity to attend the ceremony and inspect the new plant. It is worth inspecting, and those who gee it will realize why it is necessary to pay water rates, in order that they may be as- sited of a pure and plentiful supply of one of 'the greatest human needs--water. : The- South Huron Election The result of the federal by-election in the riding of South Huron, in which the Liberal candidate was elected by the record majority, for the riding, of over 1,500, did not occasion much surprise. South Huron is one of those traditionally Liberal constit- uencies, of which there are still a few in Western Ontario, and the member who was being replaced was a Liberal. 'That in itself was a contributory factor. . The chief factor which had a bearing on the result, however, was the general feeling, which always comes in a period of depres- gion, that the government is to blame for conditions. This feeling defeated the King government in the general election of 1930. It played a great part in the overwhelming defeat of the government's nominee in the by-election in South Huron yesterday. It matters little whether the government is responsible for depression or not when an election is being held. The people take it for granted that it is all the fault of the party in power, and they vote accordingly. So those who were keen political observers were quite prepared for the election of the Liberal candidate in Monday's vote. ¢ It is hardly correct, however, for Liberals and Liberal newspapers to say that the vote constituted a condemnation of what was done at the Imperial Economic Conference. That was not an issue in the election. It could not have been an issue in the election, * for the simple reason that the country has not yet been told what is contained in the conference agreements. So, while the re- sult is, perhaps, a condemnation of the pres- ent government, it does not affect the posi- tion of the Imperial Conference agreements, which will be coming before parliament in the near future and which, in spite of all that the opposition may say, will be ratified. . Is De Valera Weakening ? ; The conference held in London between Eamonn de Valera, president of the Irish ee State, 'and members of the British cabinet, has' resulted in possibilities for a mpromise. agreement between these two of the Empire. The decision to open direct negotiations between Britain and e Irish Free State for settlement of the land annuities dispute, marks a distinct ad- . vance on 'the previous position. . It indicates that there are signs of weakening on the part of De Valera, and gives rise to the hope that the whole vexed question may be amic- ably. seftled.in the near future, ~~ or its own good, the Irish Free State 4 would be well advised to make the best com- promise on this question that can be secur- ed by direct negotiation. She is fighting a _ losing battle, because she is so dependent on Britain for trade and commerce, for mar- kets for her products, that an open breach between the two countries would hurt her far more than it would hurt Great Britain. Irish business leaders realize this, and have already brought pressure to bear on De Valera to make a settlement. Doubtless he is resigning "himself to the inevitable, and is prepared to compromise in order to save the situation--and his own face. ~ Editorial Notes The Lindsay hydro commission is refus- ing to pay exchange on its bonds, as de- manded by the provincial- body. It is a gallant gesture, but the Lindsay men might as well pay up now, for they will have to do so later. Unemployed men are acting" rashly in North York in preventing a sheriff's officer executing an eviction warrant. They can't beat the law. The suspense regarding the details of the Imperial Economic Conference agree- ments will soon be over. Parliament opens today. Disarmament might be achieved if the German demands for equality were granted by the other nations scaling their arma- ments downwards, instead of allowing Ger- many to scale armaments upwards. The council has expressed gratitude for food supplies donated for relief purposes. Perhaps this will encourage others to make similar donations. Hoover advocates higher tariffs. But is not his country suffering today because of the restrictions on trade caused by the present high tariffs? Roosevelt and Al Smith have become re- conciled--publicly. But we doubt if Al has changed his private opinion of things. Canadian radio stations now have a great chance to win popularity, with election pro- paganda coming from nearly every United States station. | Other Editor's Comments Advertiser) Chicago school teach s, to whom the city owes $13,000,000 in unpaid salames, have voted not to strike. If Chicago doesn't pay such debts before the World' Fair there ought to be a nation-wide strike against the exhibition. If Chicago cannot be shamed into an act of justice, it may be brought to it. senses when its pocket nerve is touched. (London THE BRITISH CABINET CHANGES (London . Free Press) T:.. retirement of the Liberal free trade mem- bers of the MacDonald Cabinet will neither effect the standing of the ministry nor the passage of the Imperial Economic Conference agreements in the British House. Premier Ramsay MacDonald has already filled the positions caused by the re- tirement of the three protesting ministers. As a matte. of fact, the Government wiil probably be stronger. A house divided cannot stand, and there were such divergent views on the fiscal question that it left the Cabinet always wobbly on a matter of policy. * BITS OF VERSE LITTLE BLUE RIBBONS "Little Blue-Ribbons!"

The motorist was just emerging from a cornfield by the roadside, bearing a dozen handsome roasting | ears, when he saw a man approaching. Guiltily he reached for his pocketbook and as the man came up he asked in an embarrassed manner "How much ?" "One dollar," replied the other promptly.

Eye Care and Eye Strain by C.H. Tuck Opt. BYESIGHT SPECIALIST EFFICIENCY Part ug 1 will repeat "When we find these defects existing which we know in other cases were the cause of the discomfort, is it wise to wait for a more definite condition of suffering or should consideration be given at once?" By giving consideration at once we relieve a situation often seen in class work where two students of similar ability en- vironment and opportunity, in spite of the similar advantage offered will show a marked con- dition of progress--far superior in the normal case than in the one with the disadvantages of uncorrected muscle and eye- strain, This is also a handicap found when out in industrial life. A normal case can carry on until the day's work ends and his re- lief comes after work finding him rested and refreshed for another day's work whereas in the one who is under strain in many cases finds work or study impossible during the afternoon and much worse by night. Many of these muscle errors directly affect the eye comfort or vision while others which may later develop into reflex conditions are felt in some more rembd.e part of the human body. PUBLISHER OF THE LORAIN (OHIO) JOURNAL AND THE MANS- FELD (OHIO) JOURNAL, SAYS: "Did you ever stop to think that the true basis of prosperity in every community is the Home? "In the past we have believed that business must prosper be- fore the home could prosper-- we have been putting the eco- nomic cart before the horse; for sooner or later, directly or indl- rectly, everything that exists Is for the home.

TAXI RIDE OF 2,000 MILES Determined mever to ride again in a motor coach, A. M. Menzies, a London bank clerk, took his family of three for a taxicab ride of 2,000 miles, The trip was to his native town of Aberfedly, and other places in Scotland, and the tax] fare was $150. After search among taxi stands Menzies found a driver who agreed to take Mr and Mrs. Menzies and the two little Men- zies for nine cents a mile the first 1,500 'miles, and the cost of the gasoline for the remain- der of the trip. On their return to London all the Menzies de- clared it a great way to travel. Mr. and Mrs. Menzies were in an auto accident in which two men were killed some time ago. This prompted his anti-auto vow. MAN SAVED FROM HUGE FALLS Major E. A. T. Dutton, Chief Secretary of Kenya Colony in Africa, is halled as the first per- son ever to fall into the seething flood of Victoria Falls and escape alive.

' RECALLS EARLY Old Lady Has Interesting Recollections of Pioneer Days Toronto.--A very interesting old lady who recalls clearly early days in old York, and events in the London district three quart- ers of a century ago, celebrated her 96th birthday anniversary at Port Elgin on Sunday. She is Mrs. Jane Langford, daughter of the late Henry Smith, who was a messenger in the land office at York, now Toronto, when the seat of government was situated on Front Street. She was born Sept, 18, 1837, in the residential suite in the government build. ing, and remembers clearly ac- companying her father when he went to trim the lamps in the lighthouse at the foot of Bath- urst Street, as he often took her with him in the boat when per- forming this auxiliary govenment service, Her father owned 75 acres ad- jacent to the west side of the present exhibition grounds, and it is told how he lost his job in the land office back in those days of open voting, when he voted against the government, In disgust he traded his holdings in York for a 100 acre farm at Al. ton, Ont., and took his family to YEARS OF YORK Mrs. Langford has lived under four sovereigns, and his always Been interested in public affairs, from the woman's staulpoeint, al though Baliyaliy domestically in. clined, 8 was one of those early pioneers who labored with scanty materials before there wase any hint of electricity and its applications, and before the days |. of the sewing machine, when housewives made their own bread, butter and cheese, their own yarn and woolens, sewing, spin- ning, knitting, plaiting straw hats and worked the long day through in rural surroundings, MONTREAL SHELTER BRINGS INQUIRIES Montreal, -- Many inquiries from other cities have been re- ceived for 4nformation concern. ing Montreal's day shelter for unemployed men which operated last winter and which is expected to again be conducted this win- ter.
