N FRIDAY, MAY 31, 1929 THE FIRST RETURNS The result of the first count of constituencies in the British general elections has been very much as expected. The Labor party, headed by Ramsay MacDonald, has made great inroads into the large Conservative majority, and now stands at the head of the list of the parties. Whether this will continue until the last return is in, however, remains to be seen. It is as yet too early to make predictions of a Labor victory or of a Labor government in the new British par- liament. The constituencies which have reported so far are in the industrial centres, places where Labor was expected to make heavy gains, The majority of the seats yet to report are in the counties, in the rural and agricultural centres, and from the universities, which are traditionally Conservative. The final result will depend en- tirely on the extent to which the Labor and Liberal parties have been able to make an im- pression on these ridings. It is not too much to expect that the Labor gains there will be much fewer than in the industrial districts, so that there is still a possibility that the government will remain in power, One outstanding feature of the first returns is the failure of the Liberal party to make any substantial gains. The campaign of Lloyd George was expected to bring about a strong revival ot that party, but so far that fs not apparent, and the hopes of the Liberals for further successes in the ridings yet to be heard from are not very great. THE INDUSTRIAL AREA BYLAW The future industrial growth and development of the city of Oshawa is, to a large extent, bound up in the industrial area bylaw which is being submitted to the ratepayers of the city on June 15, along with the bylaws respecting the hydro and gas purchase. While the amount of money involved in this bylaw is much less than in the others, it is nevertheless a matter of great importance to the city 'that it should be passed. * 2» The synopsis of the bylaw, as advertised by the' city council, is as follows: "This by-law provides for the purchase of land by the city of Oshawa for the purpose of furn- ishing sites for the establishment and carrying. on of industries. and industrial establishments in the city, the land to be leased or sold. to parties requiring the same for the said purposes. "For these purposes the council of the city is authorized to borrow a sum not exceeding $30,000. This bylaw is submitted under the pro- visions of the Industrial Sites Act, 1929." » * - As will be observed, this bylaw does not commit the city council to any definite purchase or plan of purchase. It merely gives the council the necessary authority from the ratepayers to purchase land at any time in the future when such action is deemed wise in order to promote the location in Oshawa of a new industry. In a word, it is merely an en- . abling bylaw, and at the present time the council has no project before it which would require the immediate expenditure of any part of this money. LJ » ® This bylaw is being submitted to the ratepayers of Oshawa after long and serious consideration by the Chamber of Commerce, the city council, and the industrial committee of the council. The experience of the last year or two has been fruitful in pro- viding a basis for the future activiities of the city in seeking new industries. It has been found by experience that Oshawa is handicapped in securing new industries by the lack of industrial sites, with buildings on them, which could be leased or sold. In many cases, this was the only stumbling block to the locating here of new industries. Thus it . became apparent that if new industries were to be secured, there should be some accommodation avail- able in which they could start operations. .*® * * The first step taken by the city council, on the request of the Chamber of Commerce, was an ap- _. plication for a private bill to permit the city to . acquire land for an industrial area and erect build- * ings thereon. The Ontario legislature, however, did not pass this bill, since while it was being discussed in committee, it was found that other cities were As a result, the Industrial Sites Act of 1929 was passed, giving municipalities the right to acquire land to be sold or leased for * industrial purposes. It is under this act that the city council now seeks authority from the ratepayers to acquire land. ! = * Ld The effect of the passing of this bylaw can be . readily recognized. It will mean that the city's industrial commissioner will have something definite 10. offer to prospective new industries in the way of THE OSHAWA DAILY. TIMES, FRIDAY, MAY 31, 1929 EE -------- ---- sites, and, with the possibility of buildings being ited, a company of public-spirited men formed for that purpose, this city should fare well in adding to its present industrial structure. The passing of this bylaw is one of the essential steps if Oshawa is to make the progress that is desired. More industries are required, and even if these are of a small character, it should be remem- bered that great things often grow from small beginnings, and that it is from just such a beginning that Oshawa's own industrial life sprang. . Lie LJ * : There need be no misgiving about supporting the industrial area bylaw. Since it daes not necessarily mean any immediate outlay of money, and since not one cent of the: $30,000 of debentures' will be sold until the necessity arises for the expenditure of money, the ratepayers can Test assured that they are in no way committing the city to the spending, at once, of $30,000 for the purposes named in the bylaw. On the other hand, they are making possible an advance step by the eity which may find its echo in the establishment here of new industries that will be a credit and asset to the community. 'BLUE RUIN TALK In, a letter to The Times, a citizen of Oshawa expresses his surprise at the extent to which blue ruin- talk is indulged in by many of the people of this city, He admits that he is a newcomer, and that is the main reason why the prevalence of gloomy views surprises him. Personally, he is quite convinced that Oshawa, industrially, is all right, and that there is no reason for pessimism regarding its future. The keynote of his letter is that the citizens should be boosters for their city instead of knockers, and his point is well taken. It is true that there is more talk in Oshawa of a knocking character than is warranted by condi- tions here. In most cases, expressions of pessimism are founded on the wildest of rumors, which, un- fortunately, spread rapidly, and in some cases are believed. An instance of this was quoted in The Times yesterday, in which a citizen, conversing with a re- porter of the newspaper, said he had heard that a certain local industry was about to close its doors, that it had laid off its workmen, and was planning to leave the city. Yet, only a few minutes later, the reporter was shown, at the city hall, a building permit being issued for an addition to that very same factory. It is hard to tell how and where these rumors start, but they are far from being bene- ficial to the welfare of Oshawa. The writer of the letter to The Times has the right idea, the idea that the people of this com- munity have every reason to be proud of its busy industries, and should spend their time in boosting their city rather than condemning it. It is easy to be a destructive critic, and yet, it is just as easy to be progressive and optimistic. Oshawa is a city which is worthy of the highest confidence and faith, and it is only by giving that faith and confidence free expression that a wholesome and con- structive atmosphere will be created throughout the whole community. ABERDEEN VINDICATED For generations Aberdeen and its people have been made the butt of so-called jokes, levelled at them because of what the would-be humorists are pleased to call their meanness, Yet Aberdeen has suprised the world. The Lord Provost of the city, a year or two ago launched a campaign to raise, in the city of Aberdeen and the surrounding dis- trict, a sum of $2,000,000 for the provision of added hospital accommodation to care for the sick and suffering of the community. Now if the Aberdonians had been the kind of people they are generally supposed to be, that would have been an impossible task. But they 'have vindicated themselves for recently the Lord Provost of Aberdeen wag able to announce that his hopital fund has exceeded its objective. And, in reaching this standing the people of Aber- deen and district subscribed an average of $5,000 a day for the last month, This record is enough to put to shame all of those who would make merry at the expensc of Aberdeen on account of its alleged meanness. The people of Aberdeen may be as hard as their native granite which has given their home the name of the Granite City and they may be "canny" in their spending, but they have shown that their hearts are in the right place, and that when the call of needy humanity comes to them they are other part of the world. SOUTHERN LAWLESSNESS The newspaper this week recorded another of those crimes of mob rule which are a blot on the name of the republic to the south, the lynching of a. negro accused of committing a crime, Wkile it is true that such occurrences are becoming more United States that any of them should occur at all. Perhaps the victim of the lynching may have deserved his fate, but he was given no trial no opportunity for defence. There were no formalit- ies of justice, only the raging passions of a mob swayed with a desire for vengence against a man who may have been innocent or may have been guilty, simply because his skin was black. People in this country cannot comprehend the racial passions which are behind such tragedies, particularly in a country which declares in is constitution that all men are born free and equal. It isffortunate that things are done in a more orderly and legal way in this country for the practice of mob murder under the guise of an unwritten law is a disgrace to any supposedly civ- ilized nation.

PRAYER--O Thou meek and lowly Jesus, Ever make like That 'Body of Pours CURING STOMACH ULCERS 'I find' myself writing often about ulcer of the stomach : and of first part. of small intestine, that is the art into which 'the food passes rom the stomach, My. reason for this is that many individuals are suffering from a small ulcer and are treating it as "indiges- tion." x . Now my first suggestion is that these folks should sce a doctor be- cause' his experience will enable him to diagnose an ulcer, and he will not only use' test meals but also have an X ray or barium meal taken. If there is an ulcer he will likely put the patient on a soft diet and then use alkalies after cach meal for a number of weeks. He will perhaps have the patient rest for a few days and will put him on a diet of liquids or semi-solid foods such as soups, soft boiled eggs, smooth cereal with milk or cream. However' if the ulcer is severe the patient is put to bed and what is known as the Sippy treatment is of- ten used. 'There have been changes made, or variations of this treatment, but the main thought is soft food and alka- line powders. There are just four points to watch, First that the 'patient rests quietly in' bed; second that he gets his milk cream mixture practically every hour from 7 o'clock in the morning until 7 o'clock in the even- o'clock in ing; third that he gets his' alkaline powder one half hour after every milk cream feeding, starting at 7.30 the morning unt! 3.30 o'clock in the evening, with an hout's rest from them between 11.30 o'clock and 1.30 o'clock. This powder is"a combination of carbonate of lime and baking soda; fourth the stomach contents are removed at 9.30 o'clock in the evening. : "You can readily see that this re- quires a lot of patience on the part of the physician and patient but has been the theans of healing many ulcers. The thought then: is that if you have "indigestion" regularly, that you do not try to take "home treat- ment," but consult your doctor as to to possibility of ulcer. ' Early medical treatment as above will not only help to heal the ulcer but will give you relief from pain, and may prevent the need of an operation. : Registered 'in accordance with the Copyright Act).
