Plan Great Welcome for Ontario Regiment Return for a week-end training visit of the Ontario Regiment (Tank) to Oshawa, will be marked by a great display of civic and persona! enthusiasm not only in the city 'but throughout Ontario County, ac- cording to present tentative plans. For this coming week-end Oshawa will be under military occupation in a very happy sense. 'The best will not be too good for the gallant officers and men of Ontario County's regiment which bears such proud traditions. Adding to the pleasure of all in the reun- jon is the splendid fact of the recent win- the-war and community fund. drive's suc- cess'in this city. For the week-end Osha- wa's manhood, in uniform and out, will walk together as proved comrades of pat- rlotic testing. Schedule of activitiesgfor the visit of the regiment has been tentatively announced. The great moment of drawing together for public and soldiers will be in the church parade which is planned to be held in Alex- andra Park at 9.45 o'clock Sunday morning. Any disciplined Canadian Active Service Force unit that visited Oshawa in the pourse of training would be heartily wel- eomed. But the Ontario Regiment is flesh and blood of this city and of this county. They will be greeted as fathers, sons and brothers, and, in not a few cases, as hus- bands, and others as candidates for that {happy estate. To make their visit as mem- ' "orably enjoyable for them as'it will be for i all eitizens is something on which the com- munity needs no suggestion or advice. Mr. Hanson 's Indescretion It is' indeed hard to find anything of an extenuating nature to say of the Hon. R. B. Hanson's unfortunate indiscretion in a speech made this past Friday at Charlotte- town, P.EI. The Conservative leader is charged with revealing some very confiden- tial information about the British Com- monwealth Air Training Scheme. This blunder would have been inexcusable in one much younger, less experienced, and less highly placed than Hon. Mr. Hanson, In him, the indiscretion may well merit Prime Minister King's denunciation in which it was termed "unforgiveable." The best that can be said for the Con- servative Party's interim leader is that he was betrayed by an excess of zeal. This began to make itself heard, too often and too loudly, when on the floor of the House of Commons, during the recent session, he voleed what was regarded as an uncalled- foe slur on the Federal Civil Service. Since members of the Civil Service canpot, by the very nature of their employment, reply to criticism thus voiced, it was felt by many that Mr. Hanson's chief lack was good sportsmanship. But it remained to be proved, beyond question, in his recent Charlottetown speech, where, as regards the safe transport of contingents'of trained and partly trained Imperial Air Force per- sonnel to England, he made public certain faets that may cost the lives of young men upon whom the very existence of this Em- pire largely depends. The only lesson to be drawn from Hon. My, Hanson's deplorable blunder is to em- phasize the universal need of discretion in Canada. It is stated with authority that thousands of gallant lives were sacrificed in the war of 1914-18 by those who could not be made to understand that discretion is often the better part of patriotism just Bs it is supposed to be of valor. Good Cattle Sale Urban-minded people may regard news of 8 fop-flight sale of Shorthorn cattle as far down in the scale of news values, but the satisfactory report of one such sale staged this past week on the noted Beath Farms near Oshawa will bring deserved cofigratuiations to the owners and execu- ities. on W's PR. YOURE OR RETR | TION tives of that widely-known organization, That the sale attracted international attention was shown in the sale of Beath Farms' junior champion heifer to E. M. Sims, of Elkhart, Indiana, which is a city where a large percentage of instruments used by dance orchestras over the whole of North America are manufactured. Average of prices obtained during the sale were said to be very satisfactory. Among the larger buyers mentioned are well-known Central Ontario dairy farmers. Raising fine breed cattle may not be as dramatic as manufacturing aeroplanes or radios, but it is part of the Dominions economic pattern, in which, with all the pieces fitted to one another, a fine picture of national prosperity is certain to appear. Thanksgiving Baby New Year babies, as a matter of course almost, receive a lot of attention. But come to think of it, whoever heard of any- one born on New Year's day celebrating their private anniversary? It seems that after one brief hour of glory, which the poor thing can't remember, the New Year baby in later years simply gives up the struggle. Trying to compete with so ven- erable a tradition as the usually unclothed infant who symbolizes Time's reaching a new starting place is, probably, one of those cases of being licked before you start. But in the birth of Oshawa's Thanks- giving baby the case should be otherwise. It marks this young man born on Monday at the Oshawa General Hospital with a special distinction which nothing can ever take from him. Running the cup of natal significance over for him are the additional facts of his being born in Canada and in Oshawa, a Dominion city of whose past, present and future he may never need to be other than very proud. This happy newcomer to the muster of Oshawa's native born is the very young son of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin G. Higgins of 83 Alexandra Street. Mr. Higgins, the proud father, is a valued member of the Centre Street Public School teaching staff. Mrs. Higgins, the happy mother, was Miss Mari- an Charlotte Mix before her marriage. The Oshawa Daily Times offers sincere congratulations to the parents, and hopes that Baby Higgins will celebrate many hap- py anniversaries of his life's auspicious start, Editorial Notes Paris couldn't take it, but evidently London can. Doctors in London warned of Fifth Column. Well, can't they prescribe suit- able treatment? We picked up a soldier hitch-hiker the other day who told us that the Germans in the internment camp at which he was on guard have been assuring them that Hitler would be in London this Fall and the war .would be over soon. Wonder what they think now? The Hon. C. D. Howe's announcement. that a munition factory costing five and a half millions is to be erected in Southern Ontario is causing some comment in this district. Recent surveys in the district west of Oshawa has caused much conjec- ture as to what the site might be used for. The recent announcement may or may not be the answer, * : on | A Bit of Verse DIRGE FOR AUTUMN It was only a short twelve months ago As I stood in awe at the Auto Show That I lost my heartito the Super Hyper De Luxe Self-lathering Windshield Wiper And a dozen similar nifty tricks That were hung all over the Gadget Six.

TOURIST PARLEY SETS OUT WAYS people and 19.5 per sent in cars, More Domestic Travel But while there were fewer U.S. visitors there were more Canadians holidaying in Canada, and Quebec particularly emphasized the im- portance of developing domestic travel. More English-speaking Can- adians saw Quebec this summer than in any previous year. The na- tional parks had 23,000 fewer U.S. visitors, but Canadians increased 198,000. The work of the voluntary com- mittees which were organized this summer to encourage travel came in for commendation, but it was suggested that each committee tie in with Provincial authorities to avoid overlapping in work. The growing importance of win- ter sports was stressed by the fig- ures for February and March, which alone during the year showed an increase in tourists. There were 60,000 Americans in Canada in February and 82,00 in March, More excursions to brings tourists to ski in Canada and more excursions all the year round were urged. CANADA'S COUNTRY DOCTOR GOODWILL ENVOY INUS.- Amazing Popularity of the "Little Doc" is Revealed on Visit to New York New York, Oct. 17. -- Travelling for a week with Dr. Allan Roy Da- foe of Callander, Ontario, shows that Canada's best-known country doctor is also a top flight goodwill ambassador for Canada in the United States, standing high in the favor of the American public, Here in this city the popularity of the "Little Doc" is amazing. From bootblacks on the'sidewalks of New York to people in the top brackets of business and society, Dr. Dafoe, in his own right, is a popular celeb- rity. Dr. Dafoe must have one of the best-known faces on this con- tinent, for coming down here by automobile, people recognized him at every stop--the border customs officers--service station operators-- students, at Cornell University -- innkeepers in the Catskill Moun- tains--téxicab drivers--waiters and the general public in New York. At Cornell, a much beloved pro- fessor, Bristow Adams, had invited the doctor to speak to the News- paper Institute. Here in New York, he seemed to be guest of New York y. Police Commissioner Valentine, an old friend of the doctor, has again provided him with Sergeant Detective Tom Devine, who on pre- vious occasions has been his men- tor, guide and friend during visits to the big city. Fay M. Thomas, assistant to the president of the Hotel New Yorker, gave a luncheon for the doctor at the hotel's famous Ice Terrace Room. An impromptu party was quickly arranged by Mr. Thomas and F. Darius Benham, with promi- nent. men there representing a cross-section of almost every'busi- ness and profession in the life of this great city. One-time Gover- nor Harold G. Hoffman of New Jer- sey was there; Police Commissioner Valentine; Admiral Woodward, com- mander of the Brooklyn Navy Yard: John Mulcahy, commissioner of the Port of New York Authority; the popular Father Tynan, 'athletic di- rector of Fordham University, and Allan Dinchart, author of the stage show, "Separate Rooms." The banking and scientific sides of life were represented by men like George Warren, vice-president of the Chase National Bank; W. P. Dunn, Jr, of the Manufacturers' Trust Company; Herman Spencer Auguste, of the Commercial Invest ment Trust and Macy Department Stores; Dr. James H. Kimball, chief of the U.S. Weather Bureau, and Dr. Lewis Clement. In his interviews with local news- paper reporters this time, Dr. Da- foe has been telling New Yorkers-- the world's fastest hurry-uppers -- to "just take it easy. Don't rush, don't worry and you'll last longer." LEGION BROADCAST . TO EXPLODE NAZI "INVINCIBILITY" TALE.

Some quarters estimated that 100,000 tons of goods were piled up - in Lashio awaiting reopening of. the road. . TO DRAW MORE Five Points Suggested as Representatives of Every Province Confer Ottawa, Oct. 17--In a move to co-ordinate the drive for tourists in | | Canada, representatives of every | Province and the two railways met today with the National Tourist Ad- visory Council in the first nation- wide tourist conference ever held. The conference recommended: 1. Abolition of tourist nuisance taxes. 2. Filming with color and sound | at least ten new travelogue pictures to replace the obsolete films still in use in Canadian travel promo- tion. 3. Survey of the whole radio sit- uation with the object of providing programs in Canada by Canadian talent for use on United States net. works. The CBC has been asked to report. 4. Uniform marking of highways in every Province to avoid confusion when a guest of Canada crosses Provincial boundaries. 5. More extensive use of news- paper and magazine advertising and an increase In the literature now prepared for distribution in the United States. It was urged that advertising be conducted on an all- year-round basis rather than spo- radic campaigns as at present. Other Improvements Sought Only half of the agenda was cov- ered. The conference will discuss improvement of tourist accommod - ation on Canadian highways, im- provement in food served to travel- lers, a wider selection of geods now sold as souvenirs and the develop- ment of handicrafts. Ontario will call a conference of boards of trade, motor associations and similar bodies following the present meeting to expand the work being done in the Province, Similar conferences will bé held {a Alberta and British Columbia and perhaps in other Provinces.
