FRIDAY, AUGUST 17, 1928 = "COME TO THE FAIR!" --_ The recurrence of the Rotary Street Fair on Wednesday next, August 22nd, brings to mind the importance and benefit to the com- munity of the Rotary Club. It is no derogation of other service clubs to say that the Rotary International is the oldest and strongest service club organiza- tion in the world. At the present time there are Rotary Clubs in forty-four different countries--nearly three thousand of them with a total membership of 137,500. Ob- viously these clubs are scattered throughout the civilized world. The movement is gain- ing ground in Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, and even the Orient. The activities of the local Rotary are a direct refutation of the oft-repeated state- ment that all is selfishness and materialism in the present age. When fifty or sixty citizens prominent in all walks of life--busi-" ness and professional, will devote their time, abilities and energies wholeheartedly to en- suring the success of such an event as the Rotary Street Fair, as they have in the past, it is not only a tribute to the local organiza- tion but to humanity in general. We can well recall the previous street fairs and the time and energy that were devoted. to them by the Rotary membership. That success attended their efforts goes without saying. In the first fair, held in 1926, they suc- ceeded in obtaining about three thousand dollars, all of which, and more, was devoted to the construction and founding of the Red Cross Cottage at Lakeview Park. The 1927 street fair yielded about six thousand dollars, which together with a great deal more, has been devoted to the purchase and equipment of Rotary Park, on Centre Street. The present fair may be expected to yield a substantial amount, for the expenditure of which there are ample opportunities in Rotary Park. The local organization are now removing to Rotary Park the Convention Hall so gen- erously donated by General Motors. To set this up with proper foundation and heating equipment will require a good deal of money, but when it is completed it will constitute a delightful community centre for the whole. city. The grounds are capable of vast im- provement and the park will not only con- tribute to the pleasure but promote the health of the people of Oshawa. In appealing to our readers for the support of the Rotary Street Fair next week, we are confident that not only will any money that " js expended be wisely disbursed by the Ro- tary Club but that the citizens of Oshawa will enjoy the spirit of the fair and the fun of the occasion. One of the principles of Rotary is "SER- VICE." Past experience has taught us that the Club will live up to this motto, and we believe that the city will support them in their efforts. FE tata] : HOME INSTINCT STRONG AS EVER Few men and fewer women begin life with- out the ambition to own a home of their own. A place which in mind at least is to be almost sacred. A castle protected by the law of the land safe from intrusion. Where the family is to be reared; to be ped and beautified during the vigorous years'of life and then truly a haven of refuge in the de- clining years. . {Men and women are the same today as yesterday. Instincts are the same. Inher- ent qualities are not controlled by changed conditions. Modern life may suggest subter- fuges for a home, may make the realization of the esire for a home difficult; but though the subterfuge triumph and the desire fail, the instinct though stifled is as strong as ever. There are those who regret that the mod- - ern idea suggests placing the home second- ary in importance in life. Too many con- sider the home with family prayers, family gatherings and a place which is considered habitable several evenings during the week, one which is presided over by some old fogey. The pendulum has swung forward and will swing back. There will come the time when the home-owning and home-loving in- stinet will prevail and the home be rein- stated. THE ERA OF SERVICE Psychology classes have been opened for Berlin street car conductors to instruct them in good manners, politeness and how to please the public. Although they have a reputation for being courteous and helpful, their employees must have sensed a need for improvement along these lines. Many public utility heads on this side of the water are making the same discovery and are do- ing something about it. There was a time when business was con- ducted on altogether too independent a pol- icy. The company was always right, the customer always wrong. If the patren did not like the service or the employee serving him, he could go elsewhere. If he had a "kick," let him see the boss--if he could. Suggestion was resented as interference, Since the war, business relations have been revolutionized. Now all is service. Business, big and little, has discovered that satisfied customers are its best asset. It must render service to get business. The customer is always right, of course. But business has learned to deal charitably even with the unreasonable. He is heard patiently, and if his grievance can be cor- rected, it usually is regardless of immediate profit or loss. Discourteous treatment has come to be the exception. Much of the trouble in the past was due to the worker's mistaken idea that his em- ployer was his "boss." The real boss of the trolley crew is the passenger. The real boss of the store clerk is the customer. The real boss of the traffic policeman is the taxpayer. Once this is realized there comes a gratify- ing change in business relations. RELIABILITY There is no more valuable subordinate than the man to whom you can give a piece of work and then forget it, in the confident expectation that the next time it is brought to your attention it will come in the form of a report that the thing has been done. When this self-reliant quality is joined to executive power, loyalty and common sense, the result is a man whom you can trust. On the other hand there is no greatet business nuisance to a man heavily burden- ed with the direction of affairs than the weak-backed assistant who is continually trying to get his chief to do his work for him on the feeble plea that he thought the chief would like to decide this or that him- self. The man to whom an executive is most grateful, the man whom he will work hard- est and value most, is the man who accepts responsibility willingly.--Gifford Pinchot. - To be strong and true; to be generous in praise and appreciation of others; to impute worthy motives even to enemies; to give without expectation of return; to practise humility, tolerance and self-restraint; to make the best use of time and opportunity ; to keep the mind pure and the judgment charitable; to extend intelligent sympathy to those in distress; to cultivate quietness and non-resistance; to seek truth and right- eousness; to work, love, pray and serve daily, to aspire greatly, labour cheerfully and take God at his word--this is to travel heavenward.--Grenville Kleiser. I think that to have known one good, old man--one man, who, through the chances and mischances of a long life, has carried his heart in his hand, like a palm-branch, waving all discords into peace--helps our faith in God, in ourselves, . and in each other more than many sermons.--G. W. Curtis. Bit of Verse The night has a thousand eyes, And the day but one, Yet the light of the bright world dies+ With the dying sun. The mind has a thousand eyes, And the heart but one, Yet the light of a whole life dies When its love is done. --Francis W. Bourdillon GIRL AND FATHER WOUND NEIGHBOR Couple Open Fire on Gray- Haired Man -- Escape Police Aug. 17.--Saferio 59-year-old peddler, was in a serious condition last night from bullet wounds and police were seeking a 15-year-old Italian girl and her father as the couple who turned a volley of piotol fire on the gray-haired man as he sat on the stoop of a tene- ment house with his wife and baby, Mary Arenchia and her father, Joseph, 45, were the objects of the police hunt. The girl and man, according to the story told police, stepped from a neighboring doorway, walked past Pantellina, then whirled and opened fire with revolvers, The peddler tumbled from the stoop and rolled across the sidewalk while screams of his wife mingled with torrid accusations shouted by the assailants. Police said at least eight shots were fired, apparently both the man and girl turning revolvers on. Pantellina. As neighbors rushed into street, shouting hysterically two assailants fled and had been caught late last night. No explanation for the shooting was offered by police, but it was indicated that a feud---probably intensified hy some slur against the girl--had sent Arenchia and his daughter together on their tragic mission.

Let any ome think first of the sunshine mesh of incidents and the play of emotions that have made it. Think next of the agonies of an innocent man spending these long years quarrying in the same quarry. sleeping in the same cell, seeing changes only in the.criminal faces around him. Yet it is hinted that £250 for each remaining year of his shattered life is considered suf- ficent compensation for such liv- ing death. Oscar Slater must now be assured of reasonable comfort for the rest of his life, and the public will insist that he receives not a penny le:s than is sufficient to give him that comfort. | | | Electrophonic Phonograp Jiyle 35 Mahogany Walnut or Och 1 he Greatest Ad- vance Ever Maae In 1he Science ot Musical Repro- duction - - - | An achievement that has | to face with perfected creation of tone--the soul of music--The Apex Electrophonic.

There were several large mills It was a busy spot. lit gave promise of being a large | town, if not a city. Then the lum- bering industry disappeared. To make matters worse the railroads came and Vienna was passed over by the new mode of transportation. Vienna was left to vegtate, a pretty Ontario village, which has produc- cd generation after generation of voung men and young women who have silpped away to make names for themselves elsewhere. Now they are returning to do honor to the home town. From the standpoint of the great outside world Vienna is chief- {ly famous for its connection with 'the Edison family.= Vienna is the home of the Edisons. While Thom- as Edison, the great inventor, was not born in Vienna, he spent many | summers as a hoy ad youth visit- ing his uncle and relatives in Vi- enna. | | IRISH INVASION OF SCOTLAND (Ottawa Journal) From time to time, during the past few years, a wail has been. heard from Scotland that the land of Bruce and Wallace, of John Knox, Burns and Scott, was not only on the decline, but actually threatened with extinction. The cause assigned was neither race suicide, an industrial blight, an ex- cessive loss of population by emi- gration, nor a decay of the na-. tional spirit. The source of the trouble which, according to all ac- counts, menaced the very existence | of Scotland as a nation, proud of | its traditions and racial character- istics, was tq be sought in the in- | truzion of an alien race, people of | Irish birth, who had acquired a | domicile, and, as it sesmed, an un- | desirable measure of control, in the |land o' cakes. The situation has now become so acute, in the view of many patri- | otic Scots, as to demand the im- mediate attention of the British | Parliament. Municipalities have been roused to the need for some- j thing being done to stem the Irish | flood. Presbyterian pulpits have | resounded with declamation again- st encroachments upon the faith and doctrine established by John Knox. Books have been written to awaken the Scottish people to a realization of the danger that con- fronts them. And the other day a deputation proceeded to London to | lay the situation before the Home Secretary and the Secretary of Scotland. The problem thus presented is a complicated one. Here is a coun- try which, since the present cen- tury began, has lost by emigration and the war over a half a million of her people. During the same period, it is estimated that she has received considerably more than that number of Irish immigrants, with the result that today at least one-fourth of the population of | Scotland is of Irish birth or extrac- tion. The invasion began in a comparatively small way by the crossing of navvies and harvesters from the southern parts of Ireland to assist in constructional work and farming operations. It reach- ed its peak during the years of the war and the Irish troubles, and -_-- EXPERIENCE: SPELLS STRENGTH H. C. COX Canada Life A Chairman of the Board 1A PRESIDENT E. R.

(New York Telegram) Like most other acceptance speeches, Hoover's is worth reading and discussing because of the way it reveals the man's attitude to- ward questions in general. One gathers that he will be fair, careful and deliberate; that he is free from prejudice and will dis- courage intolerance; that he likes prosperity best because of the way it can be translated into the hu- man comfort and happiness; that he see public problems from the standpoint of an engineer, and that, while committed to the poli- cies of the Republican party, he will insist on honest, efficient gov- ernment.
