FRIDAY, DECEMBER Oth, 1932, Co-operation, Not Fault- Finding The plea made by Hon. J. R. Challies, provincial secretary, in his address to the Men's Club of St. Andrew's United Church, * was very timely. As a provincial minister, he knows to the full the difficult tasks which face the government, and he knows full well that the government is constantly subjected to carping and fault-finding criticism. 1 Such fault-finding 'and destructive crit-: jcism should have no place in public life today. If the critic has nothing construc- tive to offer, if he is intent only on dis- crediting those who are carrying on pub- lic affairs, then he would be much better to remain silent. The greatest need of our governments today is a full measure of co-operation from all classes of citizens in solving the difficult problems which con- front it, and there is far too little of that spirit in public life. We are not sugesting that the govern- * ment has not made mistakes. No govern- ment, irrespective of which political view it represents, can claim to be infallible. But the critical situation in which the countrv finds itself is not helned one iota by those who stand outside the fence and hurl brick-bats at those who are doing (heir best to cope with tremendous difficulties. So we agree with Mr. Challies that there is a need for toleration, and for con- structive and well-directed criticism, rather than for the destructive type of criticism which is only concerned with tearing down the credit of those in places of authority. It would be a good thing for Ontario. and for the Dominion as a whole, if Mr, Chal. lies plea brought a friendly response from those who are most guilty of the tactics of which he complains. Litigation and Law Breaking Costly With fourteen cases on the docket for ~ the Supreme Court now in session at Whitby, and an almost equal number for the County Court next week, there appears to be no evidence of depression in the field of litigation. Court officials are agreed that never in the history of the county have court dockets been so lengthy. The chief reason so far as civil actions go, may be said to be the ever increasing number of law suits arising from motor accidents, but it is noticeable also that the court dockets contain as well more damage actions arising from other causes, also not a few contested wills and applications for divorce. The number of criminal cases has also been much larger in the courts this year than last. The Supreme Court sessions in October had one of the longest criminal lists on record, while for the County Court and General Sessions next week there are no fewer than six listed. Grand and petit juries employed in criminal cases are costly to this county and of course to the rate- . payers of every municipality, while there "i8 considerable expense involved in the piyment of Crown witnesses. Judge Saonpsn at the warden's banquet in « Whitby recently remarked that the grand ry alone cost the county $400 this year already, with other courts yet to be held. * Court actions, whether civil or criminal, 'are costly from a financial standpoint, and "one can judge from the steady grind of the litigation mills in this county this year t thousands of dollars are being paid ut by litigants at a time when it was never more difficult to raise money. There is no apparent depression in the gerious and unwanted business of crime, due perhaps to the times through which we are passing, and the ratepayers of évery municipality in this country which in this case includes the city of Oshawa will know it 'when they see from the audi- tors' reports what the county has paid out for the administration of justice this year, Certainly from the county's standpoint it is an uncontrollable expenditure, but the pity is that crime is so rampant and that the cost financially should be so heavy to those who obey the law. And there is no way out of this difficulty, The rest of Ontario will now know that Oshawa may be down, but she's never out, awe IL Sona The County of Ontario is proud of its popular and efficient military unit, the On- tario Regiment, a worthy successor to the ° old 34th which had a long and honorable 1 history in the county. When in 1914 the { #\ 'call to arms came from the Mother Land, | most of the members'of the 34th answeted and went overseas, miany payihg for their loyalty to empire with their fives. 'the heroic deeds of the mén ofthe 116th * battalion with which ost of - the 34th men were affiliated will long remain in the memory of the grateful people of this "county, It is a significant fact, and one to which' Dr- James Moore, of Brooklin re- ferred t6 in his address at the warden's banquet two weeks ago, 'that Ontario - County was the first to raise a county , regiment and send it, oversed§. The Fare- well meniorial tablet on the walls of the * County Council Chamber, containing over 600 names of men who fought apd died in the war, also the names on the Town of Whitby's cenotaph, are afnle proof of the great part played by. theémmen from Ontario County in the great wargand proof sufficient too, of the value of a well train- ed regiment to any county. z It is true that for fourteen yehrs there has been peace, but despité efforts to.avoid "war 'ugly clouds today, appear 'upon the horizon, and Canada as a unit of the Brit- ish Empire must be prepared fo. any em ergency. The militia units now in®xisténce in Canada are the answer today-as they were in 1914 to Canada's villingness anc ability to meet an emergency if the same arises. ER But the Ontario Regiment today fings itself unable to carry on as it should for lack of finances. Even training amps have to be paid for largely from private or regi- mental funds. Government assistance is very small, and quite madequate to take care of the regiment's needs. Most counties in this province make an annua! grant of. $1,000 to their county militia units. On- tario County Council made a grant some years ago, but not recently. The suggestion made by Dr. Moore at the warden's ban- quet that this county make "an annual grant of '$1000 to the Ontarip Regiment not only as a token of appreciation of what' it had meant to the county and the empire in bygone years but of what it is today and may become in the future, is one worthy of the consideration of the County Council | next year. In the training of young: men and provision of facilities for physical de- velopment and- social enjoyment, the On tario Regiment is doing a work which should be recognized in some tangible form by the county.--Whitby Gazette and Chronicle. Edito rial Notes It is to be hoped that some organizations and citizens will act on the recommenda- - tion of the Public Welfare Board that they organize themselves to take care of .the problem of Christmas Cheer, which ig out- side the scope of a purely relief body. Are you. patronizing - the Community Welfare Sale stores? It is unfortunate in these days when a municipality has- to resort to :elling for taxes the homes of men unable to pay for reasons entirely beyond their own control. It would be interesting to know how five children from Hungary and two, from Czecho-Slovakia happened to come to Q:h- awa from these countries in the last few weeks. : if fa! Like Oshawa, Great 'Britain will see it through, no matter what France doas. | | Other £ditor's Comments A HANDICAPPED GENERATION (Rev. W, H. Elhoty in The Spectator) We need to remember, some of us, how strange- ly difficult for the young is this age in which we are living. They are finding it very hard to adjust themselves to it. They have been born into a world which has not recovered trom a tremendous tragedy. Anxicty has been in the very air that they have breathed from the first. They have been brought up by worried people, living their lives at high tension, not knowing what may happen next and saying so over and over again, The children have overheard mor than their memories will ever be able to recall. And what they have heard and overheard, as well as what they have seen and read, has gone into them. It has become part of them. t us never forget that, BITS OF VERSE 3] WORK Work!
