Street, Teles dev, repre. == =e For communities to be a little vainglorious fs as natural and human as for the indivi- dual, Man of both sexes and all ages dearly loves to talk about himself, point out his 'little excellencies, emphasize the good deeds of self and make for himself a niche in the hall of fame, The community is a colony of men and as such must display the traits of men, Next to boosting themselves men and women prefer "selling" the home town, Among their own townspeople they discuss the fine points and peculiar advantages of the home town, in contrast rather than compari. gon with neighboring cities, Every visitor and stranger must hear the whole history and note the progress of the community, Among community institutions most priz- ed and proudly displayed three are especi- ally outstanding -- good churches, good schools and good streets, People talk of their fine stores and their prominent citzens, but first and last they are concerned with their churches, schools and streets, The town or city seeking a higher popu- lation can not better obtain that end than by building modern streets, providing suits able school buildings, and erecting monu- mental church edifices, Ask the prospective citizen what he would demand for his adopt» ed community and he will say without hesi- tation, "schools, churches and streets,--the best that money can buy," Until it has provided the best in these three necessities of modern life, no com- munity has done its full duty to its citizens, ; THOSE WHO WALK 80 long as road builders remain blind to the obvious need of footpaths along country highways the danger to pedestrians in the open country will continue and probably in- crease, Those who walk on many of our highways, especially at night, take their lives in their hands, though both pedestrian and motorist exercise extreme care, One driver distract- ed by other vehicles ar blinded by the glare of headlights may mean death for one or peveral pedestrians, It is easy enough to say motor highways are no place for persons on foot, Not all walkers are pleasure bent, but even so they have as much right to the roadway as the motorist where no other footway has been . provided, Danger lurks where nature's beauties formerly lured the rambling hiker, Has public enthusiasm for motor roads blinded the province to the rights and wel- fare of the pedestrians? Improved high- ways are essential to modern transportation, but safety for pedestrians is quite as vital, At comparatively small cost footpaths could be built along every heavily traveled - highway and the expenditure of public funds for this purpose would meet with even more widespread approval from the motorist than from the foot traveler, RUNNING IT INTO THE GROUND Certain periods of the year, regular as in the case of Lent, or designated as on some occasion or for charitable purposes have usually made on many minds the pro- found impression desired. The point has been reached, however, where the special week idea has become so abused as not only to make it a nuisance in itself, but also pos- pibly to weaken the effect of worthy obser- : » » {3 Jb fs painful fo good taste to see inter- Bo When any practice is run into the groun d, it cures itself through the disgust of a bored Day, Cry Day, Sing Day, Dance Day, etc. But the facial expression of the man never changed from a sober look of intelligence throughout all. It showed neither laughter on Laugh Day nor crying on Cry Day--S8ing Day and Dance Day were similarly ignored. That is the attitude of the average indi- vidual toward most.of the lightly designated special days, WHAT 'ADS, SHOW Every newspaper affords an opportunity for an interesting and informative experi. ment in advertising and business, From computing the amount of space devoted to advertising each class of product and com. paring them one obtains a fairly accurate knowledge of trade trends, One magazine, widely used by national ad- vertisers, contained in one of its recent is- sues 52 pages of advertising, These pages were apportioned as follows, 11 to business and office equipment and supplies, 8 to auto- mobiles, 5 to state, community and resort advertising, 4 1-2 to radio sets and access- ~ories, 4 to household furnishings, 8 to rail- roads and steamship lines, 814 to tooth paste, shaving cream, hair tonics and health, 214 to food, 1-18 to clothing, 1 to jewelry, 1 to educational institutions, 1 to pianos, 1 to life insurance, 1-3 to tobacco, Under the same test the average news- paper devotes approximately 75 per cent of its advertising space to wearing apparel and household goods, and divides the remaining 26 per cent among automobiles, toilet ar- ticles, jewelry, medicine, real estate, food, insurance, radio, musical instruments and theatres, What does such an analysis show? It is first a barometer of business, accurately es- timating the relative demands for various classes of merchandise and revealing to the reader what the public is buying. EDITORIAL COMMENT The idea that there is argument in a bomb was exploded long ago, A woman with a few children is never among the unemployed, _-- If an optimist is anybody who isn't a pessi- mist there are no conservatives, A swell eating-place is much like any other, except that you pay eighty cents for a ten-cent sandwich, The truth is that a lot of girls who might be movie stars are contentedly sewing on but- tons for husbands, People who spend their time talking about hats women wear have mighty little to oc~ cupy their minds, Culture, however, is something more than can be obtained by spending 10 minutes each day with a dull book, One scientist says hard work shortens life, Another says the average life span is get- ting longer. Putting two and two together, some of us are lying down on the job, EA a A Bit of Verse WHAT MATTERS Today we think the battle won, And proud our banners fly, "Oh, world, behold what he have done)" Exultantly we ery. But in the night fate moves its troops, The night bringé up new men, And from the sky an eagle swoops, And we must fight again, Perhaps we think the battle lost . When this new day is o'er, Behold our wounds, and count the cost, And things to rise no more, But in the night new hopes are born, New inspirations flow'r, And then we see our brightest morn Displace our darkest hour, "If but a clearer view were his, Then mortal man could see That nothing ever really is Defeat or victory. Whatever losses seem to come, Whatever heights we touch, Remember all things matter some, And nothing matters much, ai ' * THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES. TUESDAY, JULY 24, 1928 (Hamilton Spectator) - Semple McPherson has crashed the fromt pages of the daily press Aged, but only through the medium: of another scandal. Wonder it she has ever preached on the theme of the money-chang- ers being chased from the Temple? ---- BE PRACTICAL (Vancouver Province) scientists have invented a machine to shoot the moon. These devices to invade the moon near- ly aways originate in France, Why can't the French scientists come down to earth and do something practical lke discovering a quick way to pay off the national debt, The other stuff is all moonshine, A BRAVE MAN (London. Free Press) The story of Dr, Finn Malm- gren, of the ill-fated Nobile party, who lay down in a grave his com- panions dug out of the ice for him, and bade them battle on for ald for their helpless comrades, is a tragic epic of modern tinies which if it had appeared In fic- tion form would be discredited. Sweden must be very sad, indeed. yet very proud of a native son whose high, self-sacrificing cour- age has won him a lasting place in history, THOSE DRY SHOOTERS (Buffalo Courier Express) It one were to judge from the experience of a party of inmocent pienicking yachters right off our own coast line, those smart coast guard fellows are certainly the hair-trigger boys, It begins to look as though the water stretches of the lake as well as the highways of the land can be traversed only hy those who are willing to risk the dangers of prohibition warfare. One does hate to have to dodge cannon balls every time he goes out for a bit of recreation. MORE WALKING FISH (Ottawa Journal) An American, it is announced, is planning an expedition to Siam to secure for the United States some of Siam's famous walking fish. These celebrated fish, it is reported hy the veracious telegraph, can walk on land "as fast as a man walking slow- ly," and in addition, they are able * 'to climb trees and steep canal banks." It is too bad these odd creatures cannot be introduced into Canadian waters, or that Canadian fish can- not acquire the unusual characteris- tics of their Siamese contemporaries. Not that Canadian fish ever need to climb trees, but the ability to do so certainly is a romantic accomplish- ment for a fish--and what an alihi for the unsuccessful fishermen in the mere fact of their existence! "I caught a beauty," we should he told. "Must have weighed . eight pounds, if an ounce. Had him com- ing along nicely when the surprised me by scurrying up the bank and making for a big tree. I'll swear the line didn't break--he bit it in two.

INCENDIARISM SUSPECTED BY EUGENIA FALLS RESIDENTS Flesherton, July 28.--Incendiar- ism is suspected in connection with the fires which have occurred re- cently in the vicinity of Eugenia Falls, and it is believed that a fire- bug is operating in that locality, Several persons report seeing A man set fire to a barn owned hy H.

It is indeed very easy to sum up, A home from home. It is not a tent like encampment as we often imagine it to be indeed no cheerier atmosphere could be found than amidst ope of these rustic yet Jux- urious camps, filled with life, L brimming over with a determina- tion to get the best out of the sur- roundings, apd indeed, life itself. Let us copsider the Frenh River Camp, situated in the heart of tue rugged and beautiful country such as the province of On'ario possess- es, Here is an ideal vacation for the canoeist, fisherman, golfer, the tennis enthusiast, and above all there is the privacy of a house of your own to sleep in. Again, there is Devil's Gap Bungalow camp, amid equally delighttul surround- ings, a few miles from Kenora. All kinds of aquatic sports arc avail- able, including excellent fishing.

J. Hayes, local manager of the J. W, Butler Co, Limited, has made arrangements to hoist a Union Jack on the first column to be placed on the last tier of steel, which will indicate the height of the roof, Exce t for the riveters, yesterday was a "quiet" day as far as steel erec- tion is concerned, It is inadvisable to erect steel on the final tier until the second tier of steel has been plumbed and the key points riveted, 80 that the steel already placed will remain firm under the strain of the derrick, The 'steel framework is now to the fifth floor level, the next and final tier of steel taking the building up the remaining two stories to roof level. The massilon bar steel joists are laid on the first floor, and the metal lath on which the concrete floor will be poured, is being laid today. The steel on the lower floors is being given the coat of paint, indicating that, as far as the steel workers are concerned, the lower floors are prac- tically finished, The corner stone of the building will be laid early this week, although definite arrange- ments have not heen completed, HEAT CAUSES DEATH OF OFFICER IN HOTEL IN NEW YORK CITY New York, July 23--G.

"J9AN AND.SAVINGS COMPANY 23 SIMCOR STREET NORTH, OSHAWA "ESTABLISHED 1884. READERS' VIEWS Oshawa, Ont, July 23, 1928. UKRAINIAN VS. DR. THONNE Editor The Oshawa Daily Times. Dear Sir;-- Your Daily has done a big injustice to your readers and a greater injury to a thousand Ukrainians living in Oshawa and at large by publishing in the Friday issue of your paper a letter signed by Dr. J. B. Thonne, in charge of the United Church Mis- sion here, in which he attempts to impress your readers that "these Ukrainians" are not good and patrio- tic Canadians therefore he is work- | ing here to make them such. Deeming such statements untrue and defamatory, permit me, sir, as the secretary of the Central Com- mittee of All Ukrainian Organiza: tions in Oshawa--a body represent- ing all our colony grouped, including United Church mission, in 13 dii- ferent organizations (Cultural, Benes volent and Churches)--permit me to correct this error committed as it appears by sheer ignorance of the conditions existing here. Therefore for the benefit of your readers and the sake of truth I state; 1. Ukrainians regard themselves good citizens of Canada and always try their best to prove their loyalty to Canada and the Bntish flag. Ukrainians in Oshawa are here from 10-30 years in Canada--have their. properties here, their families here and are law abiding citizens, Their children are all Canadian born and feel no different from any other Canadian child. Our public school teachers can vouch for that! A great number of these children are in the third generation Canadian, Dr. Thonne who is but four months in Canada and who can hardly speak the language of this co untry--a man of foreign national ity, ignorant of Ukrainian language, customs and ideals--is not able to make out of Ukrainian a better citi- zen of Canada. Canadain schools and other insti- tutions are good enough for Ukrain- jans to make them good Canadians-- should there be a need! Above all Dr. Thonne will not suc- ceed in his work unless he ceases to use his present method. M. PETRIWSKY, Secretary The Central Committee of All Uk- rainian Organizations in Oshawa. SAYS STATEMENTS FALSE Editor of The Oshawa Daily Times, Dear Sir: Allow me to contradict certain false statements and insinuations made by Dr. J. B. Thonne in a let- ter published 'in your issue of July 20, 1928, under the caption of "Uk- rainian Mission Work in Oshawa" Dr. J, B. Thonne made statements to the ffect that both himself and the United Church headquarters in Tor- onto were criticized by the represen- tative of the local Ukrainian Presby- terian Church for their efforts to make good patriotic Canadians out of Ukrainians, and that this criticism appeared in scathing articles in a Winnipeg Ukrainian paper. It is very evident that the main purpose of Dr. J. B. Thonne in writing this letter was to impress the: citizens of Oshawa that the local Ukrainian Presbyterians are anti-Canadian, As pastor, and therefore represen- tative of the Ukrainian Presbyterian Church in Oshawa, I entirely repu- diate Dr. J. B. Thonne's allegation that either 1 or any member of my church wrote, or have caused such criticism. In the name of fairness I ask Dr. J. B. Thonne to cite some facts on which he bases his accu- sations. I ask him to: (1) name the Ukrainian paper' in which the scath- ing articles were printed, (2) give the dates, (3) name the author, (4) the most important, quote at least a sentence from each article, showing Hinkler IDXINIXS 155 day + (ASTRO a SLY gin on h IS mile thereby that either I or members of my church arc against the work of | making good Canadians out of Uk-| rainians. I might add that about ninety per | cent of the members of the Ukrain- ian Presbyterian Church in Oshawa are naturalized Canadian citizens, have lived in Canada from fifteen to twenty years, speak the Inglish language, and their Canadian pat- riotism was never questioned by anybody.
