President Treasurer Editor - ww wy th OSHAWA, SATURADAY, OCTOBER 21, 1922 THE ANNEXATION OF CEDAR DALE The annexation of Cedar Dale is a question that has been*before residents of that police village and the citizens of Oshawa off and on for the last ten or fifteen years. There has been endless discussion on the subject ; personalities have been indulged in, and plans have been advanced to bring annexation about, but nothing has yet come of it all. Another effort toward this end is being made now, a round table conference of representatives of the different parties interested having been held a few weeks ago. There is reason to believe, if the spirit of give and take is not lost sight of, that this new move will prove successful, Cedar Dale needs Oshawa and Oshawa needs Cedar Dale, Our neighbor to the south would find it an advantage to be part of Oshawa so as to share in'its fire protection, its police protection, to have the use of its sewerage and water works systems, Tt does not seem reasonable to expect the people of Cedar Dale to' go on indefinitely without these modern conveniences, which are virtually at their door; nor would it appear to be good business for separate sewerage and waterworks systems to be constructed, nor for separate fire and police depart- ments to be formed, Yet The Reformer understands those things have been considered by some people living in Cedar Dale who are anxious to have modern conveniences, Oshawa has grown rapidly in recent years. None of us thelieve it is now going to stand still, Tt is but natural that much of the growth should be toward Oshawa-on-the-Lake, Unless Cedar Dale is taken into Oshawa that growth might be part of the police village, especially if water mains and sewers are put 'down there, This is not a condition of affairs that would be to the advantage of Oshawa. It is probably true that there are some objections to annexation, but The Reformer believes that the advantages greatly outweigh them. Granted that annexation is desirable, surely none will deny that there is no time like the present. If the village is not taken in now, and it provides its own water and sewerage systems, there will"be more difficulties to overcome when ultimately the suburb is annexed.

That may be cruelly true, but how about those par- ents who at such times have reached the end of their rope and who, however much they wish to see their children through a complete college and pro- fessional education, cannot do so because at the crucial moment the government, that by all rights should favor education, has placed a penalty upon further study. Many young men and women have cut short their education because the cost was just out of their parents' reach, BRIGHTER VILLAGE LIFE (London Daily Chronicle) In their regiments during the war, the country youths were brought through the Y.M.C.A.'s and others bodies into intimate association with their comrades, The communal spirit, so long dead in our villages, was revived. On returning home the men were no longer content with the inhuman dull- ness of village life, and the clubs that have sprung up everywhere are an eypression of this reawakened need of fellowship. Anything which helps to make rural existence more endurable deserves encourage- ment. HIGHER EDUCATION The Reformer would urge the representatives of | the different bodies who may meet from time to time to diseuss the question, to be broadminded, and to | think of the future rather than the past or the | present. There are a great many difficulties to be solved, but a solution ean be found if the negotiating parties are determined to succeéd. THE ""Y"' DRIVE The Y.M.C.A. is to be congratulated upon the success of the three-day campaign for new members. The business and professional men of Oshawa who unselfishly gave their time and energy to the work are also to be congratulated for the part they took in this worthy movement. y Doubtless the men at the head of the Y.M.C.A. realize their responsibilities, but perhaps it will do no harm to again call their attention to their debt to the community. While a number of the new members will meet the staff halfway and give, as well as get, there are many who will hold back. Some people are diffident ; others expeet to get every- thing and give nothing, forgetting perhaps that the Y.M.€C.A. calls upon its members to render serviee. To make the institution all its supporters would like it to become calls for self-sacrifice on the part of all. The Y.M.C.A. is a worth-while institution. It is not perfeet, but no institution run by mortal man is perfect. However, it is doing splendid work in Oshawa, and now with the addition of some 700 new members it is ready to start a full season's work. If the members who showed such enthusiasm during the three days' drive will earfy a portion of that with them throughout the next year, the whole of Oshawa will benefit. Sueh enthusiasm earried throughout the winter eould practically re-make, not only the YM.C.A., but the whole social and moral fabrie of the town. It was team work that made the drive a success. Let the same team work and co- operation eontinue througoout the year. ¥.M.C.A. "drive" deserve the warmest praise for their work. There is something wrong when coal sells at $20 a ton in Oshawa and $16 or less in towns a few miles east or west of us. It was an inspiration to see the way busy business men worked during the three-day drive for mew members for the Y.M.C.A. (The Englishman (Caletta) It has become increasingly patent in recent years that the University degree in India, far from equipping the student with a career, is becoming more and more, with the increased number of stu- dents, the door through which youths must pass to a condition of discontented indolence, from where they look back upon their long and arduous studies as 80 much time wasted.

Folk damces which were much ap- preciated were given by two groups of girls to the music of the graionola! after which Miss E. M. Holmes gave an interesting talk on her trip to Northern Ontario. "It is hard to believe," she said, "so much sightseeing could have been crowded into one week and it is difficult to realize that Haileybury one of the places where we visited, is a mass of ruins." Miss Holmes told of visiting the silver nickel and geld mines and of the scenery of the north. A hearty vote of thanks was tendered to the speaker by the Club.

Cobourg reported that its dealers had 2,000 tons on hand. It is sell ing gt $17 per ton. Price Must Come Down "There is no reason why should sell here at $20 per ton," said Mr. Trick. "The price must come down. If the fuel controller won't set the price then we'll bring it ia ourselves. Anyway, we bope to re- ceive eight cars of coal within the (next ten days."
