Welcome to the Hockey Teams The selection of Oshawa by the New York Americans and the New Haven . Eagles hockey teams as their pre-season training centre is something new for this city. But it is something worthy of being recorded as a departure that might have wide ramifications. Each year, these big league hockey teams select some centre where artificial ice is available for a month of training, and it is good business for the community which secure them. In the present instance, there are over fifty persons in the squad of hockey play- ers and officials making their headquarters at the Hotel Genosha. So far as the hotel is concerned, this is a good stroke of busi- ness, but other services in the city will benefit, and the money which is spent by the players and officials in Oshawa will be a welcome addition to the turnover of the merchants generally. Oshawa will receive, too, much fine pub- licity as a result of the coming of the 'Americans and Eagles to the city. Already, they have expressed themselves as delight- ed with the arrangements made for them. Their first impressions, have been excel- lent. It should be the aim of the citizens generally, and particularly the business people, to make these impressions welcome, to make these visitors who will. be here for the next month feel that they are really welcome, so that they may come again and again, and bring others along with them. Women Can Stop The Peddler Nusiance House to house peddlers and solicitors of orders for this and that are becoming an ever greater nuisance to many Oshawa housewives who are complaining to civic authorities to take action, and publishers are being asked to expose the growing nuisance. "Still, says the Bow- manvill Statesman commenting on this nuisance, "the housewife whose name is constantly invaded by these itinerant super-salesmen, has the remedy in her own hands." A timely suggestion along this line, 1s made by Prof. Conrad, who points out that the peddler who boasts that his firm has no store is trying to make a store out of your home. You are expected to furnish a place where he may do business free from the expense which other merchants must pay. Besides, he insists on making you shop at his convenience, no matter how much it may interfere with your daily routine. He takes up your time arguing you into buying something you neither want nor need. Sometimes you buy to get rid of him, when you ought to say: "This is a home, not a place of business, and I am not going to allow you to use it as a store. Good day." That might seem rather inconsiderate. But it is one way of discouraging the ped- dler, who has not the slightest considera- tion for your peace and comfort, but uses your home as a market place, in unfair competition with home merchants, who pay taxes, license fees, and in other ways contribute to the welfare of the commun- ity. Stands Test of Time The test of time has proven that nothing has been devised or executed in doors or out of doors that can take the placé of newspaper advertising. Newspaper adver- tising has made more successful mer- chants, industries individuals in big and little businesses throughout the world than all other kinds of advertising com- bined. Newspaper advertising is a record and a permanent imprint upon the minds of the people. Every attempt to displace it has met with signal failure. Advertising over the air leaves no re- 'cord. It fades almost instantly from the mind of the public. There is no check up. It fails to hold the people. Circulation is occasional. Forced to take it in a mixed program is resented, while newspaper advertising is constant. It is there in the home for reference and for check up. It is not thrust at you. You buy it because you want it. In every community are patrons of the newspaper advertising columns. They may - drift to test other means, but they are back with renewed activity to regain their position. Newspaper advertising is read by mil- lions of men and women because they want to know. The great public institutions of the country have been made big through the use of newspaper advertising space. Not So Easy To Collect The Barrie Examiner says that the On- tario Hydro Electric Power Commission is not going to be able to load its bill for United States exchange upon the munici- palities without a fight. ~ Toronto, Hamil- ton and Niagara Falls commissions, it is pointed out, have already voiced vigorous protest, Lindsay has refused to pay the bill and Goderich has passed a resolution against the action of the H.E.P.C. If other commissions will take similar action, as they should, the provincial body will learn the real opinion of the municipalities. The "rubber stamp" approval of Mr. Maguire's handy-men, the executive of the Ontario Municipal Electrical Association, means very little, though it does suit the purposes of the H.E.P.C, to use it." Editorial Notes It is well to remember that any city will be only as great as its citizens make it. One of the beauties about modern elec- tioneering is that the hecklers have no opportunity of interrupting a speech broad- cast by radio. Oshawa would be a greater city if fear could be banished, and confidence, com- munity pride and faith put in its place. Oshawa and Bowmanville district have a crop of 80,000 barrels of apples. Yet in a few weeks it will be hard to buy really good apples in the stores of Oshawa. Cal. Coolidge will now try and find out why U. 8S. railroads do not choose to run profitably.~~Toronto Telegram.

Other Editor's Comments AFTER THE FAIR (Belleville Ontario-Intelligencer) Autumn fairs have almost all been held in this district and the bane of rain which is feared mar- red practically onely one of the leading exhibitions with the loss of crowds. Now it may be told--the fairs this year have been universal successes. Every attendance and the exhibits which have been of tii farmer will say that, because he knows that the best indicate how the fairs are serving a real pur- pose to agriculture, Fairs like othe, things have brought men and women back to the simplicity and reality of life. Some yea.. ago people were gazing at far-away fortunes and many neglected the little things at hand, even fairs suffered, But now reality and economy bring people back to first principles of pride in their own product, pride in the rural fair, and delight in social gatherings. With more att_.tion focussed upon the fair at home, the agricultural life will benefit as every energy is going into the betterment of things in the countryside. Fall fairs have a stronger grip than ever upon the minds and hearts of the people of the country- side and smaller urban centres. BITS OF VERSE SLUMBER RIVER Low croons the mother's tender lullaby As blue eyes close and lisping voices cease The nursery harbor-lights grow dim, then die Away till lost amid the twilight peace. Adown the waters of slow-widening stream Wee cradle-barges drift towards the sea, With curtains furled and passengers that dream Of flower-decked mead and zold-bejewelled lea. Of buttercups that smile as cradles glide Past banks, where rushes bow their brown-tipped heads ; Of modest slopes, where bashful violets hide And shyly shrink 'mong purpled fox-glove beds. Of yellow 'daffodils that dance in glee As gold curled babes, deep-slumbering, float by "Nearing the margin of the moon-kissed sea, Where | wind-birds nest and perfumed sigh. pine-trees But Slumber River now has wider grown And mingles softly with the Sea of Sleep; The cradles drift," by angel-whispers blown, While baby dreams upon the silver deep. --H, Cameron Nelles Wilson. by C.H.

EYESIGHT SPECIALIST EFFICIENCY Part 11 Theodore Roosevelt gives in his auto-biography a very pertinent paragraph, He says: "It was this summer that [ got my first gun, and it puzzled me to find that my come panions seemed to sce things to shoot at which 1 could not see at all. One day they read aloud an advertisement in large letters on a distant bill board and I then realized that something was the matter, for not only was I unable to read the sign, but I could not even see the letters. 1 spoke of this to my father and soon afterwards got my first pair of spectacles, which liter- ally opened an entirely new world to me. J had no idea how beauti- ful the world was until I got those spectacles. 1 had been a clumsy and awkward little boy, and while much of my clumsiness and awk- wardness was doubtless due to gen- eral characteristics, good deal of it was due to fact that I could not see and yet was wholly ignorant of' what I was not seeing. The recollection of this experience gives me a keen sympathy with those who are try- ing in our public schools and clse- where to remove the physical cause of deficiency in children, who are often unjustly blamed for being obstinate or unambitious or mental- ly stupid." (To be Continued) 6 \& WATE Economists and statesmen who have pronounced upon economic subjects can only receive in sil- ence the allegation that as a whole they hive preached differ- ing and confusing doctrines. To educated people who combine with an ability to understand the openness of mind by which un- derstanding is possible, a gener- al trend of truth has neyerthe- less ben discernible and fairly easy to pick out from the super: abundance of information and advice. With all knowledge of the limita- tions of economists and the un- doubted fact that their prognos- tications have been=and are still being proved wrong, the prinei- pal obstacle in the path of world economic reform ig not the fail- ure of information on the sub- ject of either cause or effect, hut rather unreadiness of an unpre- pared and insufficiently instruct- Led public, in all countries, to be- lieve what is the nearest ap- proach to the whole truth attain- able. The broad truth, without going into financial, technical and 'ad- ministrative detail, as to the world's economic ills, {is told with regularity but, to a great extent, it is a matter of bringing the righteoug to repentance. The sinners keep outside the audi- ences of the better economists and, what is worse, not only do they fail to take note of the real facts, but, by their preconceived notions, often held with much heat and passion, they bully their own public men into remaining silent on points which should be made, and acqulescent in matters they know to be wrong.

Dear Sir,--~We are surely experi- encing the most difficult and trying period that anyone amongst us can remember, Depressions have come and gone in their periodical cycles, yet none have measured up to the ravages of this one with its far- reaching effects. No part of our political or econ« omic structure is immune. The building is cracked and liable at any time to collapse owing to its faulty foundation, No matter how much adhesive material is used it can nev- er recover its original appearance. Many of our friends refuse the in- disputable evidence of disintegra- tion so plain before their eyes and, like the ostrich, bury their heads in the sand, trying to believe it does not exist, . The powers that have guided and directed the human race to this terrible and unnecessary mcss are frantically attempting to support, maintain and retain the structure despite the fact they know and we know it has outlived its usefulness. But worse than that after demon- strating how incompetent they have managed our 'industries, their ca- pacity to provide a reasonable liv- ing for all, they now use every means at their disposal forbidding, and preventing any peaceful change or reorganization taking ulace. We have got you into this stupid posi- tion through our brutal selfishness. We don't know how to get you out of it, we are sorry for your plight, and in the meantime we will reduce your standard of living as the first step towards putting our social and economic house in order. One would think and even expect that when they realized the chaos resulting from heir methods they would ad- mit their failure and take the peo- ple into their confidence but no. "Here's not to reason why", we are infallible, like the dog in the man- ger. We don't know ourselves and none shall tell us. Is this the spirit that can amica- bly solve the problem Is it neces- sary to force the victims of this de- pression to a diet of beans and charity to prepare them to receive that elusive prosperity. Deprived of the right to think and express themselves regarding the cause of this depression, must they be de- graded and humiliated, broken in mind and spirit and state fed cloth- ed a..d housed? Are these the con- ditions necessary for a solution? 1f so, who are the persons responsible for this imposition, One would con- clude that these same persons pos- sessed all the reasoning powers that the mass of the people were ini- beciles, incapable of concerted thought or action. We at least have the right to know what their in- tentions are. If those intentions are worthy of support and co-operation of the people, but if it is that ruth- less selfishness experimenting in a crisis such as the world has never experienced before, and without success. Woe betide those respon- sible, We must pay tribute to a great number of persons who are doing their utmost to relieve the people | indefatigable in their cfforts hem- med in by restrictions sympathizing yet ever striving to keep the family together, criticized and abused on alt sides but who continue to render service to humanity, doing what they believe is immediately neces- sary in this crisis. Such are our re- lief officers. They are not respon- sible for the depression. They are alleviating the cffects. The cause is higher up the social scale and that cause has got to be removed no matter whose interests it affects. Selfish greed and political chickan- ery have had their day. The peo- ple are awakening to a realization of the position they occupy. They have heen kept divided. They sce it and feel for the first time they have been spoon fed with empty promises saturated with the dignity of labor, continually kept with their noses to the grindstone struggling for existence, but this depression has 'given them time to exchange their views, to examine the shallow- ness of it all. Their objective from now on is production for use, a standard of living compatible with our industrial progress, equal oppor- tunity for all and a better world to live in. Yours truly, F. W. WATKINSON. LONDON PEOPLE WANT ANOTHER LARGE AIRPORT Pageant Is Held To Reveal Necessity For Further Accommodation London.~--The west side of London is well gerved with aero- dromes but the east is still with- out its airport, During the week an air pageant was held at Hill- man's aerodrome, Maylands, near Romford, which had for its chief object the drawing of the pub- lics' attention to the need of an airport in Essex. The Lord Mayor of London and the Lady Mayor- ess flew from Heston to this pageant escorted by machines be- longing to No. 600 (City of Lon- don) Squadron of the Auxiliary Air Force. There were the usual pageant items and there was a display of formation flying by Bristol 'Bulldogs' belonging to No. 5/4 Squadron of the Royal Air Force. The ease of handling these mach- ines and the way in which the various manoeuvres were timed by the pilots were much admired. The aerodrome where the pageant was held is a private one belonging to E.

A new radio term which in it- self combines the significance of a number of distinct engineering advances was announced today by Mr. E. 8S, Rogers president of Rogers-Majestic Cogporation Lim- ited, the man who "hade possible batteryless radio reception, "In 'Symphonic Tone' ", said Mr. Rogers, "we believe we have the nearest approach to veritable reproduction that science has as yet produced. 'Symphonic Tone' is the name given to the clear, mellow result of the finely bal- anced relating of several new radio inventions. It is exempli- fied in the newest Rogers radio models. While it owes much of its perfection to the use of twin speakers, it is also the product of such forward :teps as spray shielding and the new Rogers' tubes themselves." In referring to twin speakers Mr. Rogers explained that the two speakers used were adjusteq so that one speaker reached fur- ther down the musical scale than was possible before, in order to catch all the low notes, while the other speaker correspond- ingly was adjusted for the high- est notes, heretofore incapable of being faithfully reproduced The | new speakers are so balanced as to produce an almost flat Audio- Frequency Response Curve, Fid- elity of tone results. A complete new set of fully- guaranteed tubes contributes its part to 'Symphonic Tone' improved in function. By the use of spray shielding the old tling shielding cans are elimin- ated and the life of the tube pro- longed. These features, combined with | engineering | triumphs such as improved class | pro- | several other new 'B' amplification, unite to duce the result exclusive to the Rogers radio.

This ques- tion is asked by a correspon- dent of The Manchester Guard- ian, who says that a revolution- ary move in railway practice, which will lead eventually to the scrapping of steam locomotives in Denmark, is reported from Copenhagen. The Danish State railway administration according to advices received, has an- nounced that all future locomo- tive requirements for the State railways are to be met by Diesel- engined units and that no fur- ther steam locomotives are to be ordered. It is added that the State railways, which have em- ployed oil-electric locomotives since 1927, have on order an additional 18° locomotives and seven rail cars with an aggregate of 6,000 horsepower, The new Danish policy follows a trend that is becoming increas- ingly evident amongst the world's railway companies, the corres- pondent saye¢. Diesel-powered lo- comotives--the general adoption of which in the United Kingdom would, .it has been estimated, save §125,000,000 spent yearly on steam working--are now in regular setvice in 18 overseas countries, No less than~277 large Diesel-electric locomotives are now being built for Russia, Siam has 13 locomotives in operation and is operating the Bankok- Singapore mail trains with this type of locomotive, Thorough trials of the ofl- electric system are being made by the London and North-East- paid on deposits-- subject to withdraw 3 cheque.
