TORONTO OFFICE: 40° Tond Building, 66 Temperance Street, Telephone Ade aide 0107. H. D. Tresidder, representative. ha THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1927 'THE VALLEY OF DECISION Christian opinion. in Oshawa, which is re- presented by all ranks of life and shades of ieligious affiliation, must at once face the prob- }ém'of the Liquor Store and, if preventive ac- tioh is deemed wise, prepare a case for presen- tation to the Liquor Control Board which would impress that body not merely by size but by {he influence of those presenting it. The Oshawa Daily Times will 'be very glad {o'render every assistance it can editorially if decisive action is taken, Its news columns, as a matter of course, are open not only to those wilo may oppose a liquor store, but to the hon- cst opinions of worthy people who may take the opposite view, This newspaper balieves in temperance with all its heart. The abuse of liquor is a curse; the temptation of liquor to the weak is a ca- lamity; the crimes of liqguor--moral, political, and statutory--have written the story of hu- man depravity on every page of the history of civilization, However, fair play demands that full ack- nowledgement be given to the fact that the problem is seen differently by difierent people, Premier Ferguson, for instance, seems entirely honest in his belief that the Liquor Control Act is a step in the direction, of a workable solution of the liquor problem. Great numbers of his supporters believe the same thing, They may be right, But they may be wrong, and the opening of a liquor store in this city may mean years of reproach to those whose apathy at this junc- ture may allow its establishment, The open- ing of that proposed store may lead to scores of broken hearts in the breasts of Oshawa _ mothers, to neglected cradles, to brutalized children, to ruined lives, to hell itself filled with the eternal lament of those who learn to fear God only when it is too late, It is for Christian opinion to decide, This is the Valley eof Decision. Once the Liquor Store is established here, nothing short of a change of Government and a decisive change of public policy could remove it. Which shall it be? THIS INDUSTRY LOST The fact that the firm of A, G. Adams, Limited, recently transferred its plant from Bowmanville to Brockville through finding, it is presumed, greater opportunities there for cxpansion should bring double regret to Osh- awa now that prominent citizens are waking up to the fact that its Board of Trade should be revived or a Chamber of Commerce organ- ized, Part of that regret is that Oshawa's good neighbour, Bowmanville, should have lost one of its small industries, Oshawa can never adopt a policy of trying to ben:fit at the ex- pense of either Bowmanville or Whitby. Yet, if the circumstances are ever such that an industry has to branch out from either town, it is to be regretted that there is no active or- ganization here to try, at least, to keep it "in the family." "Incidentally, in connection with this Bowman- ville industry's removal, the Brockville Chamb- er of Commerce is held up as something of a model for a small city. Of course very few cities in any country and in any century have a young executive of one of their progressive factories offering to serve as unpaid and there- fore more interested secretary. That's Brock- ville's good fortune. But despite Oshawa's probable lack in that regard, this city offers a splendid field for efiicient Board of Trade effort; and there is, in addition, ne particular regson why a Chamb- er of Commerce shculd not be organized not merely for Oshawa, but for Bowmanville, Osh- awa and VV hithy. A bigger man could be em- ployed as il: m2nag'ng sceretary, and the thres . their lesson. On Sunday, November 6, stately military processions and solamn memorial services in this city will once again call to memory the un- dying glory of those who lie in the serried ranks of battle cemeteries as Canada's answer to the question: "If Britain dies, who lives?" Britain lives, Canada's youth pulses strong in the veins of this mighty northland of oppor- tunity. But they, the young dead whose blood sanctified a new testament of civilization, re- turn here no more. Only the forunate few have been able to visit the Fields of Flanders to stand reverently be- fore the wooden crosses or white headstones of those who "counted life a little thing." But within this city stands a Memorial to Canadian valour; its Lamps of Remembrance burn by night and day; its garden of living memory lies fallow for next year's spring. And on this coming Sabbath, that monument should again be piled high with the last flowers of the year as a sign that Oshawa does not forget. There will be formal wreaths placed by societies, but the simplest nosegay by: a loving hand should be welcome here just as such is welcomed at the base of the Cenotaph in Old London which stands so close to that famous Abbey wherein this Empire's Unknown Soldier lies in death's comradeship with the ashes of those that made Britain great. LIQUOR STORE FOR OSHAWA Apparently the Liquor Control Board of On- tario has decided in its wisdom that Oshawa shall have a liquor store. An agent of that bureau was in the city on Wednesday looking over the available sites and it is understood that one was leased or, at least, optioned for a period of two weeks. Which means that if the active temperance forces of the city are not prepared to take im- mediate and impressive action, there will be a liquor vending place opened in Oshawa prob- ably before the end of the month, It is to be presumed, in fairness to the Liquor Control Board, that the action they con- template is based on higher ground than a quibble over the fact that before the prohibi- tion measure came into effect during the war, Oshawa permitted licensed sale of liquor, If the Liquor Control Board is being con- ducted free from political influence; if Hon, D, B. Hanna, the chairman, is truly strong in character, then Oshawa citizens who want the curse of liquor lifted forever from this land must believe that the establishment of a liquor store here despite the huge majority given W, E. N. Sinclair, X.C., M,P.P., in this riding last Dccember is due to Hon, Mr. Hanna's belief that such a store will make for temperance in Oshiawa instead of the reverse. Moreover, it is also to be hoped that the Liquor Control Board, independent of Party or Government influence, is acting on its initiative and not in response to the unsports- manlike efforts of Ex-Mayor John Stacey who since last December, seems to have been Ia bouring under a delusion that he was, not- withstanding an adverse majority of over 3,000 votes to the contrary, elected a member of the Ontario Legislative Assembly. own DUPES ALWAYS A Pacific Coast oil company collapses ar $84,000,000 invested in it by 20.000 ess sid vestors vanishes, A domestic servant puts her savings, $16,000, into the stock of a com- pany which is about to sell the secret of a "death ray" to the government for a cold bil- lion, Two elderly brothers are swindled of $450,000, all they had in the world, by a erook- ed lawyer. An eminent musician invests $225,- 000 in real estate on a "tip" and loses it all, Banks, business organizations, government agents and agencies, and newspapers constant- ly din into the public ears the need of vigilance and laws are passed to protect the investor against stock frauds; and still the stock sharks grow rich, Some people are taken in once and learn But as often as not it is a case of "once a sucker, always a sucker," The lure of easy money and promises of fabulous pro- fits make the penurious profligate, and the thrifty spend-thrifty. It is not surprising that servants, labourers, farmers, clerks, widows and preachers fall vic- tim to sicck swindles when sucker lists are full of names of professional men, rich men and persons learned in financial affairs, Worthless stocks can be found among the securities of virtually every person who has invested exten- sively, and one doubts that all were purchased to escape persistent stock salesmen. Everywhere suckers are asking legislatures, prosecutors and police for protection, and ges- tures at protection have been forthcoming in the form of new laws and bureueratic regula- tion of stockselling. The net result to date seems to be an inerease in the prison population but no ease in'the population of dupes, Oshawa Churches Largely Represented at Sessions This Week | SPLENDID REPORTS Rev. C. W.
