Powers and Stone, Inc, New York and Chicago, EE WEDNESDAY, JUNE 27, 1928 65a A - MEMORIAL PARK From reports that have come to us and . from our own observation we are inclined to think there is room for improvement in the conduct of visitors fo Memorial Park, This park, which is located in the centre of our city; is first and foremost a "mem. orial park,' Its chief distinction is that it provides a beautiful setting for Oshawa's noble tribute to her gallant dead. Memorial Park is not a sports ground. Baseball and other games should be played elsewhere; Boys desiring to learn to climb trees should select some other location for their endeavours. The flowers that bloom In front of the Memorial are not there to be picked by children or others equally thoughtless. Those flowers are a part of the : Memorial itself--the "Garden of the Unfor- gotten," as it is appropriately called, Whatever supervision is needed to protect Memorial Park from the boisterous and the destructive should be provided. Its main purpose should always be kept fresh and green in the hearts of the people. A GROWING TRAFFIC PROBLEM The motor hus is creating a new traffic problem, which in some cities has already shown itself to be as hard a nut to crack as the parking problem, While in motion and stopping to discharge and load passengers at intersections, the bus, because it hugs the right of the road, interferes less than the street car with other traffic. But troubles lie in another direc. tion. The dilemma is where to establish bus terminals and who should provide them, Nobody could possibly object to the stop- ping of buses at or near street corners to receive or discharge passengers. That is a public convenience which far transcends any interruption or interference with traftic which 'might be created for the moment, But thé terminal bus stop, where it is maintained on public highways, is an en- croachment upon the highwey and is a use of public ;thoroughfares for the transaction of private business, Bus lines should pro. vide their: own terminal facilities if they wish to continue a business which calls for the parking of their large vehicles for long periods of time. 3 Motor bus transportation has proved its permanency so there is no valid reason why © owhiety of buses should not establish perma- nent terminals on private property. We be- ligve Oshawa has taken the right steps in this matter in serving notice on bus comp- anies 'that they must provide private park- ing facilities within a reasonable time. NO CAUSE FOR WORRY There is always more or less worry con- nected with money. Those of us who do not have it worry about getting it, and those of us who have it are often put to a great deal »f worry in hanging on to it. In addition to this no little worry is brought on by the desire to make a nickle or a dime grow where only 2 penny grew before. It seems as though poets and philosophers have conspired to bring money into disrepute, so anxious ave they to tell us that the mere possession of it is a great burden. Per {In more recent times there has come to us | A . THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 27, 1928 the warning that money carries germs. Germ experts even went so far as to demon- strate that a bank clerk's occupation was particularly hazardous because he handles so much money, But now this dread has been the subject of money as germ carriers two Illinois University experts assure us that this danger has been greatly exaggerated, It seems that the metals from which coins are made act as destroyers of bacteria, This relieves us of the worry connected with the handling of money. The next thing for some experts to do is to tell us how we may be relieved of our worries in trying to get hold of it. GETTING NEW BUSINESS . The progressive business firm finds that it needs to be 'constantly making new friends and creating a ney circle of customers. If «it just depends on satisfying those who have previously bought its goods, it is likely to see © its trade diminished. Population changes more rapidly now than formerly, and if a firm has a certain list of customers "this year, it can expect, as the result of all the changes that naturally. occur, that a considerable proportion of those customers will not be on the list in a year or two, Also people are changeable in their hab. its, and unless a very energetic effort is made to hold old customers by advertising, a lot of them will go elsewhere, attracted by the various inducements that are offered them, People are not much inclined, as they were often formerly, just to Jrade at one bh place or a few places right along year after year. They are quick to get the idea, if some firm seems to be hustling a little harder than its competitors to please the people, and no feeling of habit or sentiment of loyalty is apt to hold them, if they think they can do better by going elsewhere for something they want, firm can keep making new business friends, to make up for those who drift elsewhere, It does not take elaborate persuasion to win such new customers in these times. People are ready to go to any place of business where the spirit of enterprise and hustle seems to prevail, A concern that makes it a regular practice to advertise, even if it does not take any great amount of space, will have a constant stream of in- quirers entering its doors, who will more than make up for old customers who go else- where, EDITORIAL NOTES Flattery makes puff-balls of us all. Present-day society may be a failure, hut do you think anarchy is a success? It is almost warm enough to practice classic dancing now, ' It isn't at all difficult to save a little mon- ey. The hard part is to keep it saved. Entirely too many people think equality consists of swapping places with those above them, ' Inalienable rights depend upon many things, but chiefly on sleeping with one eye open, You are not much of a success if others do not have more to thank you for than you have to be thankful for, , The man whe can only afford a little car al- ways has the good excuse that it is so much easier to park than a big one. Bit of Verse FORGETFULNESS sing the praise of memory, bliss it brings, ; all too soon glad hours flee Time's unresting wings. In truth as fairest days depart, Their beauties still we see, We clasp their raptures to the heart, The gifts of memory! But, though our joys are cherished things, Untarnished by regret, Oblivion its blessing brings In griefs that we forget. Although at memory's shrine we bend dispelled, After exhaustive investigation on By an active campaign of advertising, a At a Glance A large number of fliers have signified their. intention of hopping over the ocean this summer. It is rather a big statement to make, that each plane will arrive safely; in fact we might be correct in say- ing that perhaps there will be a number of casualities. The ques- tion arises, should we permit these fliers to take. their lives in their own hands and aftempt such a thing? A man who attempts sui- cide is arrested. These fliers in some cases do nothing more than attempt suicide. There are few well-gifted pilots and mechanics in Canada and the United States, it is said, and each plane which tries to hop the Atlantic will not carry one of these. The outcome of this prob- lem will soon be decided, because at the rate people are deciding to make the trip, the sooner authori. ties will be given food for thought, LE I} There are a number of false alarms being turned into the local fire department, The rea son has not been divulged, But we may be practically sure that the cause does mot result from the inquisitiveness of citizens desiring to find out how tne new alarm hoxes work, LJ * L At any rate "Cut it oudt.," L .
