TUESDAY, JULY 19, 1927 GO TO WORK Go to work! Knowledge does not come from impressive books, but from the principle of working out these theoretical truths in actual practice, The world is overpopulated with people who work harder killing time than they would have to work if they used time intelligently, The efforts of such people are reminiscent of the old horse once used in the brickyards to mill the clay. Round and round the circle he went, getting nowhere, A merry-go-round is a rol- licking sport for children, but when adults do a lot of travelling they like to feel that they have been somewhere. Do not wait for something to turn up and happen, Make things happen, The precious gift is initiative--the ability to start something and keep it going, In the business world this gift commands the highest wage. In all of life the initiator of new outlets for the bubbling spirit of man is a benefactor, Everywhere today the call is for the man who can make himself busy in new ways to reach old ends, The burden of civilization is he who means well, but means well feebly. OPTIMISM There is an old Stoic proverb which says that it is not things that torment men, but the opinion men have of them, The fact is that there is an infinite variety of things in every person's life, far too many to be grasped at once, and he must choose what he will see, In the same situation or surroundings one man will be wholly cast down because of the black outlook, while another will be cheered greatly by its brightness, Obviously the difference lies not in the situation but in the point of view, Pollyannaism has had its day, but now has fallen into ill repute, and rightly so. It is foolish to invent excuses to be cheerful, when no reason exists, and just as foolish lose one's eyes to the unpleasant side of things, It is another thing, however, to realize that there are hoth bad and good in the world, and that men are at liberty to choose either, When one is accosted by a pessimistic individual who is sure that everything is approaching a canine destination, it is well to remember that he is blind to what good may exist. Even were one were so omniscient that he might count every bad and every good circum- stance, he could not thus determine whether the result were good or bad, James Bryce has said that in an election opinions are counted, not weighed, and that while an expert's opinion may be worth those of a thousand ordinary men, it is counted only as one, In counting good and bad circumstances, one must remem- ber that they must be weighed, not counted. One good circumstance may overbalance a thousand bad. CAPITALIZING ENEMIES Edward Bok tells of the manner in which he turned antagomism into capital when he was editor of the Ladies' Home Journal, with results which put the stamp of success on his idea, When he first becamé editor, the news- papers and humorous papers were flooded with joking references to the ludicrousness of a man cditing a woman's paper. No end of fun was poked at Bok. As a result, the magazine re- ceived a large amount of free advertising, which Bok accepted gratefully. He went further, and by hunting out the cleverest writers who thought they were "roasting" him, succeeded in adding them to his own staff, thus raising the standard of excellence in his magazine. The public notice which some might have thought adverse, Bok turned into assets for his enterprise. Few of the most lively disagreements taking place in the business world would ever come to the head to which they do, if this policy of taming the lion were oftener put into execution. Talent is as admirable in one cause as in an- other, and in most cases it can be brought over from the enemy's camp by the same amount of energy which it would take to fight it. .In Bok's case, the opposition was largely of a friendly nature; in other cases where the an- tagonism is bitter, this method of conquest seems efficient as well as strategic. goo us SELF VALUATION. Without ostenation man should value himself more highly than is his wont. It is one of man's faults that he undervalues himself, lacks confidence in his ability and admits to himself that he "can't." It is possible to "know thyself," and for man to achieve something worthwhile in this world he must believe in himself for his full worth. "Swell-headedriess" is applied to persons who affect qualities unpossessed., One can be self-confident without being complacent and presuming. Man may know himself without letting others know he knows himself, that in truth is the secret of success among men, The higher a man's valuation of himself, the more his compassion and charity for his fel- lowmen, There is no condescension in his man- ner because realizing a value in himself he un- consciously seeks out values in others, One cannot expect the world to count him as of intrinsic worth if he himself does not re- cognize that worth, The valuation which we put upon ourselves cannot be concealed from the world, It becomes so much a part of our thought structure and our very persomality that it plainly manifests itself in our words and acts, Unostentatious self confidence is natural expression of personal evaluation, Vain boasting is a cloak to conceal natural weakness and failings. He who brags is pain- fully aware of his shortcomings; otherwise he would be conscious of nothing to boast about. Self-confidence is the recognition of short- comings overcome, Boasting is the recognition of shortcomings to be overcome, NO LIQUOR ADVERTISING Those arguing in favor of greater advertis- ing publicity for liquors dispensed by stores operating under the Liquor Control Board of Ontario cite the fact that newspapers publish- ed in Quebec, and carry such advertising, en: ters this province without restriction. That is true, A little thoughtful consideration, however, will show that this argument is, in the main, an appeal to charity rather than to reason. The Oshawa Daily Times opposes any loosen- ing of restrictions on liquor advertising now imposed by the Liquor Control Board, The newspaper that cannot remain solvent with- out that pernicious form of subsidy had best close its doors, It is a fact that newspapers cannot render the service they do without advertising. But the ideal of a free press is hampered enough in the interests of industries not viewed with such suspicion as that which, by the often ex- pressed vote of the people of Ontario, is now subjected to such rigorous control. Adding liquor advertising to the existing problem of the press could only begin, anew, that vicious cycle of interference, threat, and political bru- tality to which the liquor industry, as such, owes its present cramped position. Only politicians can be whitewashed by law; an industry to he respectable must earn re- spect. An ardent campaign for liquor adver- tising in Ontario's newspapers is a move cal- culated to do far more harm to its champions than to the fundamentals of temperance, EDITORIAL NOTES Utopia is a land where the tomato bears a faint resemblance to the object on the seed catalogue cover, Normally there are more women than men, But gradually the number of women drivers increases. The true hick complex is just an aversion to anything that doesn't nourish the convic- tions you now have. Bit of Verse THE VILLAGE Grey roofs and whitened walls between Deep folds of overflowing green, Aloft upon its rolling steep, The little village lies asleep. A single church-spire lifts above, The symbol of man's faith and love, And with it as it soars in air, The heart goes up in silent prayer. The lives within this village spent, Are crowned with freedom and content, And move, unknown to haste or stress, In paths of peace and pleasantness. Here friendship keeps an open door, And plenty doth bring forth its store; * And wheresoe'er the traveller turns, For him the lamp of welcome burns. Keep, happy village, in thy breast, 1 Thy sense of quiet and of rest; And keep those old-world charms that haunt Thy ways, and are thy proudest vaunt. --J. C. M. Duncan. PTR A {irom the Adantic to the OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, JULY 19, 1927 % DUNBARTON MAN FROM SEIZURE Charles Smiles, 78, Overcome While Going Down Basement Stairs WAS IN.GOOD HEALTH Dies in Few Minutes, Not Having Regained Consciousness Dunbarton, July 18.--The death of Charles Smales, 78, of this vil- lage occurred with tragic sudden- ness at 7.30 o'clock Sunday even- ing. He had just finished supper at his home and was apparently in ex- cellent health, When going down the basement stairs to attend to some matter connected with the water supply, he suffered the fatal seizure and fell the remaining dist- ance to the cellar floor, Dr. John Dales was summoned but his patient never recovered consciousness. Death took place within the hour. The funeral of the late Mr, Smales will be held at the family residence at 2.30 p.m., Wednesday, and in- terment will he made in the Ers- kine Cemetery. Rev. Mr. Frazer, minister of the Dunbarton United Church, will officiate, The deceased was horn nea. Hull, Yorkshire, on March 22, 1849. He came to Canada with his par- ents when seven years of age, He ygrew to manhood in the Markham district where he has been promia- ently known for many years, Farm- ing engaged his attention until 1912 when he retired to live in Dunbar- ton, His last farm venture was in Pickering Townchip near here, and also had a successful agricultural experience in the Scarboro district Surviving him are his wife, fou danghters and a son, James Smales the son, is resident at Enniskillen. "The daughters are Mrs, Jame: Marks, Aitkow, Sask.; Mrs. W. Ped- rick, Toronto; Mrs. E. W. Hill, San Francisco, Calif.; and Mrs, Thomas Annan of Pickering. Deep regret at Mr. Smales' death is voiced throghout the village and district, His age had no apparent effect either on his health or spirits, Though retired, he worked as hard as many much younger men. A kind father, a good citizen, and a friend to his fellowman is the summary of the euolgy which his | friends express. He will he deeply | regretted by all who knew him in | life, was his pastor's tribute, | The funeral service at the house | will be followed by a brief service | at the cemetery, NEW WLAUGHLIN BUICK MODELS | (Continued from page 1) 1 I.

Largest Convention Held the largest dealer convention ever held in Oshawa and stated that this was an inspiration to himself, the othcials ot the company and all those associated with him. 'There were representauves {here irom every province in the Do- | minion, and altogether it was a truly | {representative gathering of the Mc- | Laughlin-Buick dealer organization {was pleasing to him to find so many {old taces.

Ald. Marks replied that he 'and Ald. Swanson had interviewed 'Mr. A. G. Storle, president of Wit- tings Limited and had found him de- sirous of doing all that was possible to prevent Inconvenience to the peo- ple living in the vicinity of the plant. The aldermen were advised (hy Mr. Storie that dust catehing ma !echinery was being installed. 'Mr. Storie also pointed out to the alder- men that the plant had been work- (Ing overtime pending the comple- tion of an addition. Ald. Marks (further reported that Mr, Storie was {willing to have an expert visit the plant and make suggestions which would improve the situation and to (act upon suggestions which might then be made. "Mr, Storie assured us that the company had no intention of being a nuisance to people of the {south east ward and that all that {could be done to relieve the situa- tion would he done." concluded |Ald.

The leader of the deputation was still. unsatisfied and proceeded to | harangue the council for what lie | termed failure to get action, When 'he had concluded, council went on | | 'with the regular business. [ A number of ratepayers living on Clarke street brought the attention | {of council to the lamentable condi- | [tion of the roadway and sidewalk on that street. Ald.

The mattér was referred | to the Board of Works which | Ihrought the chairman of that body, | Ald.

Hart. A petition | for the construction of sidewalks on Clarke street was presented at the! meeting and was referred to the Board of Works. It was intimated | | that the sidewalks would be con- | structed shortly. | Streets in Bad Shape, | Ald. Harman apd Ald. Jackson | complained of the "deplorable con- dition of Gifford and Cedar streets" | and urged that work be done on (them. The same aldermen asked | 'hat something be done concerning the burning of rubber on the Bloor, street dump. The fumes and smoke | {from the burning material were suf- | focating the residents in the vicinity, it was stated. This question has been up previously and the infroma- tion was given that the Board of Health are dealing with the matter. Alderman Harman complained that only one of the city's three aue- tioneers is being given work in con- nection with the tax sale. Ald. Bradley pointed out that W. J. Sul- ley, the! auctioneer appointed, was the only one of the three who would accept the terms which the commit- tee in charge offered. Mr. Sulley is doing the work on a flat rate. The other auctioneers, it is stated, would accept only a commission bas- is.
