TORONTO OFFICE: d Building, 66 Temperance Street, Telephone Ande 0107, | D, Tresidder, representative, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1927 CITY COUNCIL SHOULD LEAVE LIQUOR STORE QUESTION ALONE rr -------------- Any attempt to involve the City Council in a show of hands regarding a petition for the opening of a liquor store here should be met with the answer that aldermen are elected to attend to the City's business, not fo become embroiled in a matter which is now the entire concern of the Liquor Control Board of Ontario of which Mr, D, B, Hanna is chairman. It is, after all, highly improbable that any attempt will be made to secure Council's sanc- tion for the opening of a liquor store or stores here, If such a move was contemplated, the publicity given the matter will very likely prove an effective check at this time, The most serious point, however, is that the mere presentation of the appeal to the alder- men might serve as the first move in a cam- paign to inject the liquor store question into the coming municipal election, to be followed in time by the naming of "Wet" and "Dry" slates, . In view of that possibility, the Council will be well advised to be en their guard, and to refrain from any move which might lead to a bitter election contest, Oshawa, as an eminent- ly practical city, can be trusted to frown on any effort to turn its annual election into a field for partisan issues, The only "slate" worthy of Oshawa's pres- ent prosperous condition and future prospects is one of men committed to the best interests of the city as a whole. Any other basis of ap- peal to the electors could only hinder--not help --this city's splendid progress. RESTAURANT REGULATION Mayor Preston is to be commended for his outspoken advocacy of the Board of Health's proposed by-law designed to insure mcticulous cleanliness in all restaurants or similiar places selling cooked food in Oshawa. Ti is hoped that the City Council in general will follow his example, for this measure according to public health officials, is not a matter of politics but of the health and well-being of citizens who have occasion to take meals away from their homes. That an emergency exists is the deliberate statement of the Board of Health which pre- sented a tentative draft of the by-law at last week's Council session. It was referred by that body to the finance committee for discus- sion, and progress at least will be reported at Thursday's special session of the Council. Aldermen before whom this measure comes in its initial or completed stages should hesi- tate before making any move to hinder its progress to early enactment. It is a reflection on the City of Oshawa that its sanitary inspectors have not been long since done, but an administration building wor- of the city as it is, and adequate for its for some years to come. present Oshawa is in the fourth year of its history as 2 Canadian city, but it has ao city hall or office building worthy of the name. Several of its most important departments, all rapidly expanding, are housed in a former resi: cil meets in the old "town hall" over the fire station; the Board of Education meets in the police marisinate's private office. Such conditions ave utterly foreign to the Shana ae ae. anh THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1927 civie spirit of Oshawa, lessen its dignity, and, most important, cost taxpayers money. It is probable that the wasted time of valuable offi- cials, and the loss due to make-shift methods used to meet make-shift conditions in various departments costs nearly as much each year as would be required to finance the building of a business-like City Hall, ° A splendid site for a civic office building is already owned by the city. Facing Memorial Park that location is ideal for the purpose in- tended. The building proposed should be wor- thy from an architectural standpoint but not needlessly ornate; it should provide ample of- fice space for all department staffs and provide room for future expansion, It should have a Council Chamber and committee rooms but an auditorium would be superfluous in view of the collegiate institute hall which will meet local needs for some years to come, The cost of the building should require only a comparatively modest debenture issue, While there are several months yet before the civie election, it is suggested that the City Council should lese no time in appointing a strong committee to go into the whole matter, Such a committee, in addition to. preparing plans, could further public discussion on which decisive action finally rests, TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT Toronto's newspapers, both morning and evening, have found common ground at last. This time they are on the trail of Lord Hewart, England's Lord Chief Justice, who at the re- cent meeting of the Canadian Bar Association made some pointed criticisms of newspapers in general, Lord Hewart may not be a diplomat but it is certain that he is not a fool, It is unlikely that he would have made the statements credited to him, even if incorrectly quoted, had he not had some grounds, however inaccurately hased, for his opinion, What the Toronto papers seem to resent is not that the Press was critic- ized but that an English chief justice did it, A man who cannot take criticism, even un- just criticism if offered in sincerity, and profit from it is as surely marked for failure as a worm hole indicates diseased fruit, The same thing applies to newspapers. It is unquestioned that the Press of a nation wields a great and even an awe-inspiring in- fluence upon the life of its people. It is, how- ever, a human institution, and for that and other reasons it should always bear in mind that no man-made thing can abuse its position, power or influence with impunity. Lord Hewart is perhaps ninety percent wrong in his opinion of the press, which is a pretty fair average of exactitude in any opinion. He was Canada's guest, however, and if he was ungracious there is all the more reason that his lack of tact should have been met with gen- erosity. Generosity towards another's ideas is the cheapest and yet the rarest form of philanth- ropy. Bigotry, from the beginning, has been a by-product of human conceit's anxiety to have the last word. CONVERSATION A LA CARTE That worry or anger interferes with diges- tion is not a new theory, although most people who are worried or "mad" during meals are too much preoccupied to remember it. The medical correspondent of the London Times carries it further, insisting that conversation at the table should be gentle and "digestive." Families who never sit down together with- out getting into a snarl, people who go out to lunch together to talk over business, even the now popular luncheon clubs where speakers of more or less note start discussions, are warned by this authority against "mental concentra- tion at mealtime" as injurious to the process 70 A CANARY W.

OPENS IN OSHAWA A, N, Sharp Secures Exclu. uve Agency For Famane To hear the name "Marconi" is ¥ith most people but one step re- moved from thinking of the past 'ew years' amazing development of the radio and wireless communica- tion in general.

The Marconi Radio Shop with A. N. Sharp as aroprietor will, be opened within saturday. Mr. Sharp has acquired the ex- flusive agency for the Marconi Ra- Mos in Oshawa and vicinity. The wemises will be a demonstration 'oom and office where those inter- wted in a machine that has been )erfected by the wireless wizard wmself will he offered in models '0 suit all tastes and fit any family Yudget. For seven years Mr. Sharp has een in charge of the International Harvester Company's agency on.the Kingston Highway. This flourish- ng business remains in his hands ind part of the premises will be 18ed to keep reserve stocks of Mar- oni radios and general radio quipment. The shop on Celina street is he- 'ng fitted up as a model exhibition 'oom, Models in four, five, and ix tubes for table sets, and six tube console sets will he exhibited tong with batteryless console nodels. Marconi Radios, developed in "Great Britain, are now heing built mtirely in Canada with Canadian labor and with Canadian material The tonal efficiency of these re- ceiving sets is without a peer in the world, The company does not need to make special claims for superi- nrity because the name of Marconi alone guarantees supreme excell mee. All models, 'both table and con- sole, are housed in cabinets built by McLagan's of. Stratford. The supreme heauty of wooderaft is to be found in these distinguished models in Canadian walnnt, The Marconi Radio Shop wil carry a complete line of the most efficient loud speakers, including the Baldwin, Radiola, Farrand, and Peerless.

The fact that his Majesty, Kin: George V., has a Marconi radio re- celver in his private study merel heads the list of distinguished peo ple who have found all their ideal: of radio reception met and passed in the Marconi Radio. Marconi's are conducting an edu- cational campaign with regard to a popular misconception regarding the radio. Thisis that many im agine that the time will come when some scheme of charging for ra- dio concerts will be devised. On the contrary, as pointed ou by Mr. Sharp, the broadcasting o radio concerts is today subject to keenest competition by great organi zations fully aware of the tremend ous advertising value of the broad They realize. too that such advertisement must he largely indirect amd not over em phasized. and at the same tim coupled with programs of the mos superior kind.

The total charge which . . . the shipping industry casts on the British Exchequer is a bagatelle, and the money is weld earned. Indeed, some shipowners claim that the terms of the contracts made by the British Post Office are so onerous in the mat- ter of speed and frequency of sailings tion that the carriage of mails does not pay, apart from the prestige which is gain- cd.
