SATURDAY, AUGUST 31, 1929 ONTARIO COUNTY FORTUNATE Last night there appeared in The Times a crop survey of Ontario county and the surrounding district of Durham county. This survey was a comprehen- sive one, made independently by a large number of correspondents of The Times located in various com- munities all over the district. In this way, it can be regarded as reliable, for each correspondent was asked to report on conditions as they actually were in his or her own community. * * * * The general summary which can be made, after reading all the reports, is that Ontario and Durham county. farmers are fortunate in having so successful a year. While their brother agriculturalists of the west have suffered from crop failures, there seems to have been an abundant yield of most varieties of grain throughout this locality. Coming in a year when grain prices are high, on account of the western crop failures, this gives promise of prosperous times for the farming community surrounding Oshawa, Particularly pleasing is the fact that, fall wheat, for which high prices are ruling, has been' a bumper crop, and that most of the other kinds of grain have done fairly well. Oats are not as heavy as they have been in some years, and barley is not quite up to the average, but taking the situation all over, the farmers have good reason to be satisfied. Buckwheat, grown this year on a much larger acreage than usual, pro- mises to be exceptionally heavy, and this, too, will add to the general prosperity. * * * * Another bright feature in the reports was the general statement that the apple crop was exception- ally good, both as to quantity and quality, This is a very important crop to this district, since the great bulk of it is sold on the tree to the exporters, and brings immediate cash returns. The price, too, varics Jittle except as quality varies, and with the quality much above the average, and the crop output larger than it has been for years, this will be a prolific source of 'wealth for this district. » * * * On top of this is the general report that hay crops are exceptionally heavy and pastures in excellent con- dition, two factors of great importance to the live- stock men, A pléntitude of feed is essential to econ- nomical production of beef or milk, and with hay and pasture good, roots fairly heavy, and grain for feed plentiful, the stock and dairymen should also have a successful year, * * * » There is one disappointing point that must be stressed, apart from the failure of the pea crop, which is, after all ,but a small crop in this district. That is the continued prevalence of the corn borer in Ontario county. It had been hoped that preventive measures would be taken in sufficient volume to elim inate this pest, but it has proven to be very tenacious, and much more effort will have to be expended in its control, every farmer has his part to play, and he owes it to himself to clean up his corn land so that next year there may be an improvement in the situation, * * * - In spite of that one unpleasant feature, however, the general situation in the district is splendid, and should be reflected in morc prosperous times, not only for the farmers themselves, but for all those with whom they do business. THE OSHAWA FALL FAIR In less than two weeks the preparations for the Oshawa Fall Fair will be completed, and the Fair itself will be in full swing. Towards this end the directors of the South Ontario Agricultural Society, which sponsors the fair, have been working for months, and the results of their labors will seon be presented to the public, During the past few years this fair has not been the success which the directors had reason to believe it was entitled to be, It is admitted that the weather conditions were not always what the officials would like to have seen, but the fault has not always been with the weather, The fact of the matter is that the "fair has not been given that measure of support from the citizens of Oshawa and district which it should have had, and consequently the financial returns have not been up to expectations and requirements. The Oshawa Fall Fair is just as much a part of the city as anything else of a civic nature, and the directors, in asking for the whole-hearted support of the citizens, are not asking too much. The mer- . chants, asa rule, do their share, and the country folks have always been liberal in their patronage, but even when the weather was good, and there was no excuse for a small attendance, the city people have been conspicuous by their absence. It is to be hoped that this year when the. fair officials make their plea for the support of the citizens and bad, have remained faithful in their efforts to make this great Oshawa institution a success. FALSE ALARM FIENDS i © ai m---- Fire Chief Elliott is justified in his righteous in- dignation regarding the pranks of some practical jokers in Oshawa who think it cleverness on their part to bring out the fire brigade by turning in false alarms on the fire signal boxes. 'Several times in recent weeks this has happened, and the chief can 'hardly be blamed for having lost his patience with this kind of thing. While no serious accidents have occurred here as a result of the activities of the fire department, there is always the possibility that, in speeding to a fire or supposed fire, some mishap might occur that would endanger human life. It is bad enough that there should be this risk when there really is a fire, but to expose the firemen, and the general public as well, sto perils simply to gratify a misguided and distorted sense of humor, is nothing short of a criminal offense. There is the other danger, too, that a serious fire might develop while the department is responding to one of the false alarms, causing a delay in getting' to the scene that might be disastrous. These are things, of course, which may not have occurred to the type of mind that delights in making false alarm, calls on the department, and the only solution would appear to be the finding of the guilty parties and the imposition of the penalties which are provided by law for this offence. A RECORD-BREAKING TRIP The Graf Zeppelin's journey has ended. Circum- navigating the globe in less time than it has ever been done before, the German dirigible has landed its crew and passengers safely at New York, after a trip which will stand as a remarkable achievement in the annals of air transportation. The trip is remarkable, not only because it was made in 21 days, 7 hours and 33 minutes, a new world « record, but because the actual flying time was less than five days. The rest of the time was taken by its three stops along the route, This shows how space is being annihilated, and how close the ends of the earth can be brought to cach other by aerial travel. It is remarkable, in fact, that the trip was com- pleted without any mishap of a serious nature. Surely this is a proof of the reliability of the lighter-than- air vessel as a means of covering lorig distances by air. Dr. Hugo Eckener, the designer and commander of the Graf Zeppelin, has scored a signel triumph in this trip around the world, and has won for his coun- try laurels which mean more to her than anything she has lost as a result' of her rash jump into the. world war, NO ROOM FOR PESSIMISM It is refreshing to read the remarks which are oft- times made by distinguished Britishers who visit this country, Canada, like every other nation, has its pessimists, those who see nothing that is bright in the present or future of this country, True, they are few in this country, for Canada does not easily breed pessimism, but they do exist. Winston Churchill, former British cabinet minister, and one of the outstanding figures in Empire policies, may have sensed something of this condition when he was speaking at Calgary a few days ago. In that speech, hoy gave ample evidence that Canada is no place for those who harbor ideas of pessimism, His appraisal of Canada is worthy of a place in the thoughts of every Canadian citizen, and particularly of those who are inclined to look on the dark side oi things, for he said: "Thirty years ago man traced the geograph- ical formation of Canada on the map, pointed out her enormous spread of land and small population, and said that a country of this size could not endure and progress under these conditions, Today the voice of the pess- imist has been silenced. With. her agricul- tural and mineral wealth and her great north- land only partially developed, Canada has taken her place among the nations of the world, and her march of progress will go on." It is good to be a citizen of Canada and to read these words. They should inspire in every Canadian a sense of pride and of confidence in his country, not only because they were uttered by Mr. Churchill, but becausc every man who gives any heed at all to the affairs of his country knows that they are absolutely true. THE ECONOMIC CONFERENCE The proposal of the Rt. Hon. J. H. Thomas, British minister of employment, that an economic conference between official representatives of Great Britain and Canada, should be held in the near future in this country is one which should meet with the prompt acceptance of the Canadian government, The visit of Mr. Thomas to this country has made it possible for Britain's problems to be laid before the Canadian people in a new light. They have heard from a man who understands labor conditions in the old land, and who knows that the remedy cannot be found in mass immigration, but rather by exerting every. effort to find markets for products which they can produce. It has become very apparent, however, from Mr. Thomas' speeches, that Canada can help Britain, and that Britain can help Canada. And there could be no better way of finding a common basis of helping each other than by sitting down at a conference table and discussing these common problems, It is a splendid gesture which Mr. Thomas has made to the Canadian . government. The only possible reply of the Canadian premier should be a prompt acceptance. EDITORIAL NOTES There are always two sides to any argument-- yours and the wrong 'one, The Graf Zeppelin's success has but sharpened the desire of Britishers to see what the R-100 can do, In spite of all the dismal crop reports, the hum of the bundler, says the Edmonton Jougnal, is still the same old hum, and not a low moan. -- The old Spaniards of the Inquisition were experts at finding methods of torture, but they never des- cended to the level of a marathon swim in icy waters.

TOO MANY OUTLAWS (Detroit Free Press) War has been outlawed, but, un- fortunately this is a time when outlaws flourish and go about do- ing much as they like. That is a point the country may profitably remember when listening to plans for scuttling our defence equip- ment. NO EDITOR--NO PAPER (Carbon Chronicle) The editor and family leave on Saturday evening to spend a two weeks' vacation at the former's home at Kaslo, B. C., and while away the Chronicle will be closed. At the present time the plant is not paying its way, so the little holiday ought to at least relieve that hesvy feeling thet we have over business depression, RUSSIA BETRAYS PACIFIST ADMIRERS (Calgary Herald) In order to be prepared for all war eventualities, the Soviet gov- ernment hag decided to give special military training to all students of normal special and high schools. This statement from Moscow no doubt will come as a severe blow to a numerous group in Canada who uphold the Soviet system as the best government yet devised. This particular class of Canadian citizens has always denounced ca- det training in the schools as a capitalistic scheme to promote mil- itarism, : WHEN DEARTH MEANS PROSPERITY (Vancouver Sun) Wheat growers are jubilant. The price of wheat is soaring; many farmers who had a very dark out- look are now expecting a prosper- ous harvest. And why? Because + + » the wheat crop is below nor- mal. Bad weather conditions have cut down the expected yield, Hence price are going up. Industry strives for the greatest possible produc- tion. Agriculture is compelled to point the other way. A time of plenty is apt to be a time of hard- ship. A time of dearth is apt to mean prosperity. Right there is a "farm problem' worthy of a good deal of attention. IMMIGRANTS WHO WON'T WORK (Peterborough Examiner) Trouble over immigrants who were brought into the west as farm laborers and who are now refusing to accept employment shows un- mistakeably that these individuals are not of the calibre desired in this country. It cannot be strongly or too of- ten emphasized that for the man who won't work Canada offers nothing. That point should be hammered home by emigration officials in the British Isles so thoroughly that the man who thinks he can live without working will be under no delusion as to what Canada can provide. . To a reasonable extent this country offers opportunities to im- migrants who are willing to take off their coats and go to work, but for the type who thinks the world owes them a living without any exertion on their part there is noth- ing here. It is the duty of officials con- nected with the Department of Im- migration to see to it that true ' pictures of Canadian conditions is presented to the outside world. The streets are not paved with gold and there is only orie open sesame to success--i.e, hard work. | Bits of Verse WHIRLWIND On Stuntney Hill the village lay A little jumbled goblin town; Was like a wizard staring down, And bright and shimmering the heat - Was wrapped about it like a cloak, With scents of hay and flowers sweet, And curling puffs of cottage smoke.

Conley, governor of West Virginia, says: THAT 1 do not believe the pres- ent generation is "going to the dogs,"' that it is worse than the last generation, that we stand on the brink of moral decadence and disas- ter. I do not believe that the Chris- tian religion has passed into disuse as have artificial, foundationless cults that for a time were the fad of the frivolous. I believe that our boys and girls and our men and women are as true and staunch ana upstanding and full of strength and character today as were the boys and girls and men and wom- en of a generation ago or of a cen- tury ago. We are living not only un. der changed conditions, but a time when conditions still change so rapidly that some of us have difficulty in adjusting ourselves to the new order. Conventions that were bind- ing half a century ago have been tossed into the discard, but others just as well-based and just as binding constrain us today. Our boys and girls, our young men and women, with greater fa- cilities for learning than were available twenty-five years ago, can secure an education at an age earlier than could their parents. Be- cause they know more than ultra- conservatives think know 'for their age," they are con- demned as precocious and harden- ed. Knowledge that used to char- acterize the forties, today is the characteristic of the twenties; but the boy and girl of twenty, sophis- ticated, schooled, prepared for life, no more deserve condemnation for having knowledge than did the older man and woman of forty a generation back. That knowledge is natural to the age in which we live. Materially, at least, we are living today at a more rapid rate than was dreamed of half a century ago, but the ideals for which we strive in 1929 are as high and noble and splendid as those for which pala- dings fought when knighthood was in flower. The holocaust called the World War showed that patri- otism, loyalty, love of home and country, willingness and desire to serve humanity, were as firmly en- trenched in the heart of American youth as when the cannon of Old Hickory repulsed the British at New Orleans or when Washington led his tattered and bleeding army at Valley Forge. Storm-wrecked Florida and the flood-ruined Mis- sissippi Valley proved that ours is a generous people with hearts sus- ceptible to pity. . We are touched by the sufferings of humanity everywhere. Love of home and hearth, of Mother, of State and Na- tion, is every whit as strong as it was a hundred years ago. Our be- lief in God is as firm today as it was In the hearts of the Pilgrim Fathers. The fires of our faith burn with steady intensity. We must have a deep faith in our- selves, and we have the things to which we may anchor that faith. This generation is the peer of any that has gone before, BRITISH MYSTERY PLANE EXHIBITED Attains Speed of 340 Miles An Hour in Test Flight Calshot, England--Great Britain's extensive preparations for defence of the Schneider Cup--symbol of the fastest seaplanes in the world --were emphasized when a test plane attained and estimated speed of 340 miles an hour, and the new- est of speed planes was exhibited to newspapermen here. Flying Officer Atcherley piloted a powerful Gloster-Napier 4 over the Solent course, 'where the Cup races will be held Sept. 6 and 7, at a speed which about 340 miles an hour. A new super-marine Rolls-Royce Six sea- plane also was tested. The "mystery plane" of the Brit- ish outfit was put on exhibition, revealing a Gloster Napier S-6 with the graceful lines of a bird. It is painted dull gold, mounted on slen- der silver floats, and is called the "Golden Gloster." H. P. Folland, its designer, de- clined to reveal its speed, but said that "in 20 years hence" he sees no reason why the Schneider Cup should 'not be won at a speed of 1,000 miles per hour. : The "Golden Gloster" has a body not more than 30 inches wide at the 'thickest point, but it holds a Napier engine which will develop about 1,500 horsepower.

You know that the whole source of heat in the body is the food there is anything you can do ahout your diet that will give you strength and yet lessen the amount of heat created in the body. In fact the heat may so affect you that you are not interested in food, have no appetite. 'It is just at this point that you make a mistake. You eat and drink "cold" combinations that are not the usual kinds of food you eat, and you find your stomach upset, and perhaps pain and tenderness in the intestine, followed by diarrhoea. If this persists for two or three days you feel very miserable, and the hot weather then has you feeling weak and languid, Sometimes these unusual combina- tions of food will cause the hives, or a burning of the skin which is so itchy and irritable that you are un- able to sleep. And loss of sleep fur- ther prevents you from withstanding the heat to any extent. You will be greatly tempted to drink much water. Don't be afraid to drink, even tn drink often, but just take a small amount at a time. Often so much water is taken at one time that the stomach is disiend- ed and drops downward so that the food material has a hard time climb- ing up to get out of the stomach into the intestine. This delay in emptying often means that another meal, or more food, is taken into the stomach be fore it has emptied the previous meal into the small intestine, This means discomfort, pain, and loss of appetite. The thought then is that during the hot weather that the usual arti- cles of food be eaten, cutting down somewhat on all foods and particu- larly on fats and pastry. Water or liquids to be taken only in small quantities. The meals should be kept well apart, so that you will be hungry, you have a natural appetite and eat the usual articles of food instead of you eat, and' you perhaps wonder if By Mail -- called in person. ra REDO Rermetnihe We maintain a complete investment service by mail.
