A Healthy and Safe City " Oshawa has won another high honor in being awarded the trophy offered by the Canadian Chamber of Commerce in a Bet- ter Health and Accident Prevention Con- test. The winning of this honor is of great value to Oshawa from the standpoint of advertising of the community, for it stamps this city as a healthy and safe city in which to live, as a city in which the health and well-being of the people are given the consideration they deserve. In the announcement of the winning of this contest, the Chamber of Commerce. names a committee which has been co- operating in the work which led to the winning of the award. That sounds very well, but we believe in giving credit where it is due, and in asserting bluntly that this committee, commendable as it may be, had nothing whatever to do with the honor which came to the city. We happen to yknow something about it, because we have been named as one of the committee, " The whole credit goes to two civic de- partments, the department of health, un- der the supervision of Dr. T. W. G. MacKay, and the police department, under Chief of Police Owen D. Friend and to the officials of the various industries of Oshawa. The health department is entirely responsible for the excellent rating which Oshawa has received from a health standpoint, and the "police department is largely responsible for the fact that Oshawa has a splendid acci- dent prevention record so far as traffic accidents are concerned. The officials responsible for safety work in the indus- tries come in for their share of the credit because of the intensive work they have done in the elimination of industrial acci- dents. To these people, then, and not to any committee, the city owes the honor which has come its way, and the thanks of the community are due to them in a double sense, first of all, for the winning of the award, and secondly, and perhaps more important, for the creation of the condi- tions which have made the winning of the award possible. The Hydro Exchange Bill The Oshawa Public Utilities Commis- gion, having met the demands of the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of On- tario for payment of exchange on bonds, is beginning to think that it capitulated a little too readily to the requests of the provincial body. It has found that consider- able sentiment has developed through the province against this levy being made on the municipalities. Toronto, Niagara Falls, Lindsay and other centres have flatly re- fused to pay, and propose to put up a real fight against the policy enunciated by the provincial commission. Now the Oshawa commission is consid- ering taking a similar stand. If there is going to be a fight against the H.E.P.C. ruling, then the local commission is going to be in that fight, and rightly so. There are valid arguments against the principle that the municipalities should pay this ex- change, and they should be explored to the limit before any further payments are made. The Toronto Hydro Commission is tak- ing a position of leadership in fighting this demand, and is asserting that, instead of billing the exchange to the municipal bodies, it'should be paid out of the huge reserves which have been piled up by the provincial body. It has advanced the argu- ment that these reserves, which amount to some $14,000,000, were meant to meet just such an emergency as this, that the money is far more than will ever be re- q for the replacement of obsolent plants and equipment, that it belongs, in reality to the municipalities which put it there, and should be used to pay the exchange for their benefits, | There is sound hacking for this view, for the legislation which set up these re- serve funds provides, among other things that: this money is to be kept in reserve for "other contingencies." This is one of the "other contingencies" in the view of the Toronto commission, and on that basis the battle is to be fought. Apparently, 'several municipalities are going to make a definite issue of the matter, and in that case, they should present an united front, * and try to use their united influence to induce the provincial body to change its ruling. The effort may not be successful, but when the amount of money involved in Oshawa alone is considered, it is. at least worth a trial. Retail Men Can Help The Farmer The Ontario Department of Agriculture is inaugurating a campaign this Fall to help stimulate the sale and consumption of Ontario farm and dairy products. Re- tail stores throughout Ontario, the prin- cipal links between producer and consum- er, are being asked to decorate their windows during the week of October 17, with products of Ontario farms, dairies, orchards and apiaries, and it is more than reasonable to expect that the campaign should have results. The Chamber of Commerce which meets in Whitby tonight (Thursday) might well take this matter up. Commenting on this campaign the Stratford Beacon-Herald says: "Hon. T. L. Kennedy, Minister of Agriculture, himself a farmer, has been carrying on a campaign in favor of greater use of Ontario farm and dairy products ever since he has been in office. His department has issued much practical and valuable publicity, chiefly along educational lines which has served to increase the sale, and consequently con- sumption of many products. For instance, it has brought tomato juice as a beverage to a popularity it never before enjoyed. Nutritive value of dairy products, too, has been stressed in literature and at special exhibits, and assistance has been given Ontario farmers and producers in bringing fruit, honey and dairy products to the attention of the public in Great Britain. The food value of cheese and fresh milk, has been stressed by the department, "Col. Kennedy, in carrying on his cam- paign, realizes that educating the public to appreciate fully the high quality and food value of many products is the thing that is going to serve as an impetus to sale and consumption. The competition of imported farm and dairy products, though that is an important factor is only secondary. People who have not been educated by this time to give preference to home-grown and home-produced articles, can not be taught." . Editorial Notes With dominion awards for fire preven- tion, health and accident prevention, Osh- awa is being given some of the finest advertising it has ever had as a commun- ity. The board of health budget has been overwhelmed by the necessity of paying medical and drug supply bills for citizens on relief. But should not these items now be taken care of by the public welfare board, since they are governed by the order-in-council under which that board operates ? Watch the windows next week for the displays of Ontario Farm Products--and buy them. The New Zealand parliament ratified the Imperial Conference agreements without a dissenting voice. But that is too much to hope for in the Canadian parliament. | Other Editor's Comments AS TO SQUEEZING (Woodstock Sentine'-Review) It 15 said that the man who sju:%z¢s a doilar ney- er rnueezes nis wife.

BYESIGHT SPECIALIST EFFICIENCY Part 9 You may say to yourself, "My eyes are 'allright--I have no symptoms of eyestrain." But statistics prove that over 70% of the people of America have de- fective vision and that only thir- ty per cent, are wearing glasses to correct these defects, And of that thirty per cent now wearing glasses only a very small propor- tion heave had their eyes examin- ed recently enough to be sure that the glasses they are wearing are efficient, Tests for the U.S. army proved that over seventy per cent of the young men examined had sub- normal vision and these men were voungsters in the fullest gi- gor of life. A prominent jewelry factory at Plainsville, Mass., found that 83% needed glasses. After being fitted they had an {increase of 28% in production, and the pres- ident attributes thig almost en- tirely to the correction by the glasses. Industrial America must edu- cate itself to the importance of the eyes of industry. Industrial managers and employers must realize now that correct fllumina- tion, correct placement of mach- ines, and correct glasses of em- ployees especially are factors in production which cannot wisely be neglpcted W. D. LITTLE, PUBLISHER OF THE ADA (OKLA.) NEWS, SAYS "Who really pays the cost of ad- vertising The merchant who ad- vertises and sells for the same price as his competitor, or, as is true in most cases, sells for less, does not pay it, for he increases his volume to such an extent that he makes more money at the same price. "It is not the customer who pays for the advertising, for he pays no more, and usually less, to a merchant who advertises than he would pay to one who does not. "Then if neither the advertiser nor the purchaser pays the news- paper, who 'dees? THE MER- CHANT WHO DOES NOT AD- VERTISE PAYS IT. Strange" Nothing strange about it. By sit- ting idly hy and letting his more aggressive competitor go out and get his business, he loses more than the advertising competitor nays. So the cost of operating our great and small daily and weekly mewspapers comes NOT from the person who buys the space or the consumer who uses the advertis- ed goods, hut from the person who does neither.
