REPRESENTATIVES IN Ua, Powers and Stone, Inc, New York and Chicage, a aa WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1924 a i i aa TS ------ PROPOSED TECHNICAL SCHOOL The Times notes with satisfaction that another step in the direction of providing technical training for Oshawa pupils was taken at last nights' meeting of the Board of Education, It appears now that the total cost involved in the erection and equipment of the school #8 an addition to the present Collegiate, to. gether with the cost of finishing the swim. ming pool and installing a cafeteria and boys' locker room, will be approximately $260,000, There will be available from the Technical Schools' Fund established by the Dominion Government some ten years ago, approxs imately one half this amount so that the taxpayers of Oshawa will have to provide $130,000 to $140,000 as their share of the cost, ' As previously pointed out, there are now between 800 and 900 pupils in the Collegiate Institute, and the present building is just about taxed to its capacity. An expenditure of $80,000 to $100,000 would most certainly be needed in any case within the next year or so to provide accommodation for addition- al pupils, Such an expenditure would have to be borne entirely by Oshawa taxpayers, By building a technical school the cost to the taxpayer would not be much greater providing action is taken at once before the time limit for the Federal Government grant expires at the end of this year, so that from the standpoint of economy Oshawa citizens are not being asked to pay very much more than they would have to pay in the ordinary course of events for much less accommoda- tion, Furthermore, the technical school project will provide the alternative of a different form of education that will undoubtedly be much better suited to a large number of Oshawa boys and girls than the present Col- legiate course, We have heard no serious objection to the proposed technical school and we fail to see how any valid objection could be raised, and we hope the City Council will not hesitate to co-operate with the Board of Education in the furtherance of its plans, : APPROACHING Behind the scenes in the stores of Oshawa there is a new activity which those on the inside know to be occasioned by the approach of Christmas, From this activity will short~ ly blossom store displays of gifts and other holiday merchandise, Btores are receiving their gift stocks esrly in anticipation of an early shopping rush, Boon the stores and newspapers will burst into full ery with appeals for early shopping and early mailing, The forthcoming Christmas shopping ses- son promises much interesting and satisfy- ing shopping for the public and a prosperous season for business, Innovations in mer- chandise will make their debut lend impetus to the demand for gifts, It is high time to begin counting the days, TOO MANY INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENTS "The safeguarding of industries has been made a live topic by the press in the past few months," says R. B. Morley, genersl manager, Industrial Accident Prevention As- sociations, "but hardly enough attention has been given to safeguarding of employees in industry," He states that October has es- tablished a new "high" for all time in total number of accidents reported to the Work- THE Uva wa UAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1920 i 525258 Hin, tion from some quarters that "you can catch a cold more easily in Baltimore than in any other city in the world," We had thought Oshawa was at least a contender for this title, It may not be the beat place in which to catch a cold, but it is surely a wonderful place in which to culti- vate one, The germs its citizens are ac- quainted with are unusually agile and tricky, In Baltimore a cold is a cold, Here it is likely to be anything but that, It may be a cold one day and gout, measles, cholera morbus the next, Sometimes a home-town cold will disap- pear for a day or two, You think it is dead, but really it is only playing possum, It will show up again just where you least expect it, Before the Baltimore professors turn in their report, they should send a commission here to take testimony and capture a few specimens of the cold germ, While discovery of the causes of the coms mon cold may aid the scientists in their search for a preventive, what suffering hu- manity wants most is the preventive, The sniffler and snuffler is convinced too many causes are known already, EDITORIAL NOTES As a rule, as you look so are you looked upon, Time cures everything, but it takes such a long time, Why must secrets worry us? They are nothing to speak of, Obedience of the admonition to love one another waits upon sound religion and sound digestion, Life is much like a motor car, The faster you drive a car, the less mileage you get per gallon, Proof that the world is growing better lies in the fact that its conscience hurts a lot more, How odd that people scold about divorce, which is a mere result, and do nothing at all about matrimony, Bit of Verse | ARMISTICE DAY Today 'tis not a tattered flag we raise, No national anthem vibrates with our breath, There is no nationality in death; Race, reprisals, ruptures all are gone, The dead all glorious are forever one.

No successor to Sir Fred- erick has been named, but this and the removal from Toronto to Ot- time and before the New Year. The wing importance of the meteorological service in Canada, to which the airplane is now mak- ing an important contribution, fs pointed out, also the fact tha. weather service for purposes o navigation is being steadily expan< ed in comnection with the work done by the Department of Marine and Fisheries. In conjunction with this work, too, is conducted, to a considerable degree, the forest fire protective service. : These important branches of the weather service are already centred in Ottawa, and for that reason it is held here that the headquarters of the service with its director should be located in the capital, Vigorous Protests Toronto, Nov. 14.--Removal of meteorological service headquarters from Taranto to Ottawa tawa will be announced at the same | of d | would prepare the suburban commit- der, and, at times, h a fear; it was not until the hy "Harding ps raft" of t air- public thought serious- o! 0 some unders with flyers of pleasure planes in. the direction of public safety. When the use of aircraft becomes a daily business for profit in our neighbor- hood, some necessary police regula- tion would appear as reasonable, in reference to their uct, as it has proved to be necessary to cars on the highways and streets. Both the air and the highways are closed to private ownership. % The expectation is therefore that our Police Commission will soon get in touch with the "Harding Aircraft" and make a beginning in such regu- lation in the interest of personal and property safety, It is not surmised that "mail" planes, and other planes on govern- ment busi , nor yet commercial vigorous protest in various quarters and upon. different grounds, Col, Newton M, Young, M.P.,, Toronto, Northeast, in whose riding the Ob- servatory is situated, is of opinion that there would be great resent- ment if the change were made de- ritmentally, without opportunity or discussion in Parliament. From the standpoint of weather reports ta truck farmers, for aviation pur- poses, and University of Toronto connection, the proposed transfer ia also criticized, Retirement in January of Sir Frederick Stupart, director of the meterological service of Canada, is announced, and Sir Frederick last evening commented that the report was "prabably right." Of the ru- mored transfer of headquarters to Ottawa, he had not heard. Sir Frederick is to go on six months' leave from January 1. It is be- lleved that his successor as diree- tor will likely be John Patterson, M.A, assistant director, who was Appointed physielst in 1910, and subseqeuntly promoted. J MILLION SHARES INN. Y, EXCHANGE Irvegularity Marks . Second Biggest Day in History of Mart New York, Nov. $4.--Stocks jumped up and down in yesterday's big stock market, but, despite the tremendous turnover of the day-- the second largest in the history of the exchange--there was not the tension nor the excitement which had .been so evident in the previous day's trading. There were many big losses and many big gains, the aggregate running into millions of dollars, but a part of the hysterics which had seized Wall Street on the previous day was conspicuously ab- sent, and speculators. appeared to be regaining thelr equilibrium, Marked by Volume The trading was more marked by its volume than by any advances, although here and there througn- out the list stocks dashed away for gains of as much as 17% points at- tained by Sears-Roebuck. On the other hand there was a distinct pressure in many sections of the list, and the technical description of the market was that it was "highly irregular." 'Sales for the day were 5,404,260 shares, nr 841,300 shares fewer than on the preceding and record- breaking day; The number of fs- sues dealt in aggregated 801, just three less than the previous record established on June 12, The rail- road shares, as calculated by the New York Times averages, declin- ed 56 cents; the Industrial shares, 47 cents, and the combined aver- 8ge of 60 representative stocks, 51 cents, Severe Decline Threatened The day, however, was not with- out its drama, In the early after- noon a severe decline threatened; stocks were coming to the market faster than they conld be handled; here and there were a few declines Of more than tritling importance, Evidently the market needed a sta- bilizer, and it soon got it--in the nature of a robust advance in Uni- ted States Steel common, the mar- ket's natural leader. From its low point of 163%, Steel was pushed up to 168%, where it closed at an advance or 4% points. Possibly this advance cost somebody a great deal of money, great amounts of the stock were offered on the way up.

It is to be expected the Comntission may attempt to prohibit voluntary landings within our city, in view of the presence of an airport so close at hand---"get-aways". which follow ark and other hastily chosen city andings have at times proven "touch and go" affairs, It would not be surprising further if the Commission endeavored to minimize the use of pleasure planes, and especially "pupil training" planes, over closely built areas of our city, and to arrive at some understanding as to the elevation such planes should assume in crossing the city anywhere, It is almost a certainty RE s by pilots anywhere over the 5 up area. 0.1 interest m the 10th issue of Montreal. 34 The legal and other s of this new form of transportation are fully t forth there under the heading Kno Owns the Air." 3% 55 The relation which the city and its suburban areas beat to each h, Sehr, and the many advantages in an Jublic activities which would ow tom their co-operation for regulation purposes, is strongly sug- gested by this consideration of air- craft matters. Such co-operation tees for inclusion in our city. ve is community interest in maintaining law and order; in apply- ing over the whole area the regula- tions of a Board of Health; in ex- tending water and drainage up to a city standard; and in higher educa- tion, etc, The establishment of a "metropolitan area" for such limited purposes, governed by a "Commis- sion" is a rational outcome of un- desirable conditions outside our city borders, and for our own protection, devoutly to be wished by all who de- sire to see our city in the vanguard of modern progress.
