WEDNESDAY, MARCH 7, 1928 THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE PROGRAM If the usefulness of Oshawa's new Cham- ber of Commerce may be judged by the number and importance of the problems that have been assigned to it by its members then it is quite safe to assume that the new organization has a wonderful field of use- * fulness ahead of it. Through the inquiry cards that were sent out to members and the group meetings held last night following the general meeting at Centre Street School, a truly remarkable list of subjects have been suggested constituting a program that might well tax the ability and energy of the most efficient Secretary and Board of Directors that can be found anywhere, It is hoped to publish the com- plete list of suggestions at an early date and possibly the Board of Directors may see fit to classify the list placing those of first im- portance or of early accomplishment in a preferred group, The next task is the election of the Board of Directors and it is the duty of every one of the more than 500 members to make the best possible selection from the 45 nominees whose names will be placed on the ballot at the suggestion of the Nominating Commit- tee. : The Chamber of Commerce is away to a good start but its greatest need now is the selection of the right man as Secretary- Manager. But we are firmly convinced that there is a man somewhere big enough and otherwise of the right stamp to fill this posi- tion, and it is up to the Board of Directors to find him and it will then be the privilege and duty of the membership to give him and the Board their whole-hearted support, A NEW SITE FOR CITY BUILDINGS IS PROPOSED At Monday night's Council' meeting the suggestion was made by Alderman Conant that the City might very well re-consider the situation with regard to a City Hall and . he threw out the idea that possibly the es- tate on Simcoe street south at the corner of McGregor street where the residence of the late W. F. Cowan is located might serve as a suitable location for the new civic build- ings. This proposal while somewhat novel seems to us to have a good deal to commend it. The Cowan. property is a truly magnificent site for anything in the nature of a public building, With its frontage of almost 300 feet on Simcoe street and a corresponding frontage on Centre, and extending along McGregor street for the entire block, nearly 500 feet, it gives ample room for a choice setting for a municipal building without in any way destroying the natural beauty of the property. There is at present on the property a large residence which is in good condition and which could be used for civic purposes for many years to come. A new City Hall . might be erected in front of the residence and connected with it by one or more galler- jes. The new building could face Simcoe street with main entrance on that side and _ other entrances at the north side and rear which would give access to some of the de- partments that might find it desirable to have separate entrances, such as the Police and Public Health departments, The acquiring of the Cowan property for * the purpose mentioned would make it un- necessary to hold the present property on Simcoe, Metcalfe and Bagot streets, a to- tal frontage of perhaps between four and five hundred feet. This property could no doubt be sold to good advantage and would go quite a long way toward the purchase of the Cowan property. Then the sale of the * old Town Hall at the corner of Simcoe and Richmond streets and running through to Prince street as already proposed would make a good start towards providing funds for the erection of a suitable building on the new site. Perhaps it might be well to retain the rear portion of this site for fire hall Newspapers' As Ontario Provincial Dailies and the THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 7, 1928 purposes, as this location might be thought more desirable for a permanent central fire hall. Altogether the proposal appears to us to have sufficient merit to entitle it to very careful consideration on the part of the members of the City Council and citizens generally, Although removed a few blocks from the present business centre, that does not appear to be any serious handicap as the general public may pay water rates and tax- es at the banks and people having business of importance at the city offices can quite easily find their way there. The important thing to consider it seems to us is that the Cowan site would lend itself to the erection of municipal buildings that would be a credit to this city and that would help materially to make it favorably known far and wide. INVESTMENT "PROSPECTS" Hundreds of thousands of men and women throughout this country from time to time receive through the mails literature asking them to buy certain articles, to subscribe to funds, or invest in securities. Their names are'secured through canvasses made by men and women who make it a business to pre. pare in each community a list of persons who are "good prospects" for this sort of thing, These lists are known by those who employ them as "sucker lists," and some- times prove so because persons addressed "fall for" the propositions contained in the alluring and flattering literature sent them. Just at this season of the year when semi» annual dividends are paid, the mails are filled with prospectuses of every imaginable kind, and, money in hand, temptation is great. But one thing is certain, money in hand is worth more than the article or se- curity offered else money would not be sought. No matter how plausible the ex- planation why articles are offered so cheap- ly, or money is needed in promotion projects, the fact remains that the price asked ex- ceeds the value of the articles or security offered, MODERN CAINS The crimes of violence that in increasing numbers, are recorded in the daily news columns are a commentary on the imitative~ ness of the criminal, Prompted by greed or revenge or lust, the killers go about their business in the same old way. While death- dealing agencies have been modernized and novelties in killing have been introduced in the latest records, this is merely a detail, The man who uses an automatic for his work differs only in dress from Cain--the great prototype of the murderer, Cain was a man who had some claim on sympathy--by way, not of lessening or ex- tenuating his offence, but of creating pity for the feelings that followed his deed, Then the world was young. All around was teem- ing life, Death had not come to raise its mysteries. When the first murderer struck, he must have known that he was offending against man and God--but he could not have realized the full result of his act. He could not have known in advance the horror of seeing life go out under his blow, of seeing a living being sink into dead clay. But those who have followed Cain have known what to expect. They have killed, knowing what death means. And they are still killing, That horror which Cain must have experienced is not theirs. They slay because they are willing to bear the horror for the sake of gratifying evil passion, They have even less claim to sympathy than had Cain. . EDITORIAL NOTES Maybe they're asking men to wear corsets because women are wearing the pants. Patience has its limitations, sand the man who knocks should not be surprised to get» few in return. : Bit of Verse "FORGIVE ME: I AM SORRY" "Forgive me; I am sorry."--Little words, Uttered with trembling lips in penitence; Hearing, who has not turned with softened heart And pardoned the offense? "Forgive me; I am sorry." Round the world This humble, earnest plea is being heard; Is being answered gently, day by day, With loving look and word. Surely, ah, surely the All-Merciful, When at His feet I fall and make my plea, Conscious of sin and truly penitent, Will do no l=ss for me? --Ernest H. A.

SILLY UTTERANCES (Hamilton Herald) Two statesmanlike utterances in Canadian legislative halls: 1. R. F, Miller, member of the Ontario Legislature, proposed that no per- son who holds a liquor permit be granted an automobile license. 2. Wilfrid Girovard, M.P., protested against the visits of British states- men to Canada, It is not easy to decide which is the sillier of the. wo. MENTALITY OF POLICE (Toronto Mail and Empire) According to a report of the Na- tional Crime Commission, one of the reasons for the spread of crime in the United States {s the low mentality of the police. A politer way to express it would be to say that criminals are cleverer than they used to be and are prompt to take advantage of recent seien- tific discoveries. The mentality of police is not so low as to prevent them from taking the right end of the bet as between crime and law, -- HOCKEY SPOILING DANCES (Fergus News-Record) It 1s noted by several of our ex- changes that in other towns the in- terest in hockey has been so great that the number of dances has fall- en off considerably and some of the ones held have not made their expenses, Fergus, with its new rink, has also seen less dances this winter than for quite a few years, The fact remains that there is so much doing in the new arena and that young people are so interest- ed in hockey and the other attrac- tions that the dances are suffer- ing. So far, we haven't seen any- one who regrets ft, IRELAND FOR THE IRISH (Detroit Saturday Night) Quoth "Tay Pay" O'Connor, the Irish "father of the house of com- mons," in refusing to discuss either Irish or American or Brit- Ish politics while visiting in this country: The Irish of Ireland and of Amer- ica are entitled to thelr own views and opinions. But the two mil- lions of Irishmen in England also are entitled to their place in the sun, They share the ideals of Great Britain and leave to Ireland the Job of settling her own political differences. Do you suppose "Tay Pay" means to suggest in his own blar- ney way that Irishmen in America should share in the ideals of Am- erica and leave to Ireland the job of settling her own political dif- ferences? If he does, he is quite in accord with the president of the Irish Free State, MORE INFORMATION WANTED (Toronto Globe) According to a statement made in the House of Commons at Ot- tawa the other day by the Post- master General, Mon, Peter Venlot, a total of 421 Postmasters were dismissed throughout Canada from October 1, 1926 to February 1, 1928; that is, over a period of fifteen months. The mortality in the Postofice Departnrent during the past year has certainly heen high. Many people must be won- dering today what these men did to warrant discharge from their positions, Here is an excellent opportun- ity for the Opposition intelligent- ly to urge upon Mr, Venfot the need for more {information re- garding the heinous crimes that the four hunudred-odd Postmasters committed, To the man in the street {t looks as though this wholesale dismissal was an evi- dence of the "spoils" system in operation in fits worst form. It should not be allowed to pass un- challenged, A PASTOR AND PATRIOTISM (From St. Catharines Standard) "Better a war once in a while than that all sense of patriotism should perish, and that men.should become too weak and lethargic to tight," said Rev. J. W. Magwood, pastor of Lincoln Road United Church, in a sermon in 8 Windsor church on Sunday last, . We do not know whether Rey. Magwood was quoted correctly or not, but he expresses sn des which is perhaps unpopular in the best of circles. War just to ex- Press patriotism, is foolish, of course, and it is dificult to imag- ine a man preaching that doctrine from apy pulpit. We have an idea that the reverend gentleman was proclaiming against an excess of beace talk, which to a very large degree was only talk and will lead to nothing tangible. In other words the time has not arrived for inter- nationalism, that racial prejudices, suspicions and hatreds still exist, and a country which forgets how to defend itself will be badly fooled THE INSTRUMENTS oF PRAISE--Praise God with the sound of the trumpet; Praise him with the psaltery and harp. Praise him with the timbrel and dance; praise him with stringed fnstru- ments and organs. Praise bim upon the loud cymbals; praise bim upon the high sounding cymbals. Psalm 150 : 3, 4, 5. PRAYER --Blessed be the Lord God---forever and ever, in the flux of time. If that was the idea of Rev. Magwood, then sen- sible people will subseribe. They are only the dreames who think that force is going to be ruled out of world affairs. It is enough that the people demand a statesman- ship which studies every possible formula of peace; it is too much when enthusiastic peace propagan- dists demand that the art of de- fence be cast aside. SWAT OFF THE NITS (Hamilton Spectator) Speaking to the Women's Con- servative association Hon. Dr. Leeming Carr declared: "The giant bootlegger has gone." Now, let's have a real swatting campaign against the nits who are persisting in the business. PAROCHIAL QUEBEC (St. Catharines Standard) Wilfrid Girouard, M.P., made a protest in Parliament against the visits of British statesmen to Can- ada. Another French-Canadian M. P. wanted all immigration stopped, as the country could depend on its birthrate for new population, Ut- terances of these M.P.'s certainly prove the parochialism of Quebec with a vengeance. MAKE LAWS KNOWN (Renfrew Mercury) A useful thing the Ontario Gov- ernment should do is to make new legislation known. The re- cent "upset" over '"'qualifications" of councils in several towns is due to legislation put through a few months ago, and little known or understood. Of what use to the people is the publication of the Ontario Gazette or the statutes? In the hands of a lawyer or an official they serve as the medium through which advice is given to a client, Legislation affecting the carrying on of government, both municipal and provincial should be made known to the people gen- erally through their local press, and not only in neatly bound honks to be placed on shelves in a few offices. EXIT THE HORSE IN WAR (From the Montreal Star) One salient fact emerges from the announcement made by the Secretary of State for War about the British Army, in the House of Commons--the horse is gradually being eliminated as a factor in war, In his place comes the trac- tor, It is the inevitable result of the transformation that has com- pletely revolutionized warfare as it used to he known. There was, after all, something picturesque, if tragic, about the spectacle of a cavalry charge, Even as recently as the Boer War, cavalry played an all-important part, as the relief of Mafeking 'and that of Ladysmith eloquently testified. At the outset of the Great War, cavalry again were employed at critical moments, and it was the finest regiments of British cavalry that guarded the British rear in the historic retreat from Mons. But in the next war there will be no cavalry, The tractor will oust the horse. IL can go where horses cannot. It is not susceptible to conditions that render the use of the horse impossible. It is a machine, and a very powerful and ruthless machine. There is about it nothing either romantic or pic- turesque. But it is terrible, Tlie whole trend of scientific research today is to make war still more terrible, in the hope that the very awfulness of the prospect of war will hold nations back from war, If this object should be achieved, the world will have cause ta be thankful, But it will be a long time before the old memories die, and "The Charge of the Light Brig- ade" will never cease to be an epie in the glorious record of Brit- ish arms, -- By James W. Barton, M.D. d with (Registered in A the Copyright Act) EMOTIONS AFFECT ALL PARTS. Perhaps you are ome of those practical individuals who has "no patience" with folks who are emo- tional. And yet a writer recently stated with truth that an emotion is just as real as a tumor, a bone, or a broken leg. You speak of an aching tooth or a severe injury as something very definite and yet the aching tooth or severe Injury will right itself in time, and pass away, just as do emotions, : And so these emotions that come practically to all of us, have defin- ite effects upon us from every standpoint, Dr, M. Solomon of Chicago speaks of the two general types of emotion, those which are stimu- lating such as joy, pleasure, cour- age, and love, and those which are depressing such as sorrow, pain, fear, and hate. The first causes an increase in our physical, mental, and moral eficlency, whilst the lat- ter causes a decrease in all. our powers and fullness of life. There are three departments in that body of yours and all can be affected by the emotions. There is your mental depart- ment, and the level of your abili- ties and enjoyments can be raised by emotions such as joy, love, and faith, enabling you to think more logically, act more courageously, and so forth, There 1s also your physical strength over which you have con- trol, which can be increased or de- creased in the same manner. And then that other part of your physical body over which you have no control, breathing, diges- tion, heart action, can likewise be affected. What is my point? That as every part of you can he affected by the emotions, that the emotions be taken into consid- eration, just as you would take in- to consideration the actual fact of a broken bone or an attack of flu or typhoid fever, Dr, Solomon puts it rather at- tractively when he says that a man under emotional stress is like an automobile racing, and the wheels locked. The car is violently shak- en up. The wear and tear on the mechanism Is as great or greater than it would be if the car were being driven in a race. What! causes emotions? Something that comes from con- flict with our desires. Therefore, if you and I can learn to control our depressing emotions and not let them eontrol us (at least do our best anyway), then there will be less interference with the various departments of our bo- Independence The best way to later in lite is to start making pro- vision for it now.
