H. D, Tresidder, representative, ~ REPRESENTATIVES IN US. Powers and Stone Inc., New York and Chicago FRIDAY, MAY 16, 1930 GIVE HIM CO-OPERATION Announcement made yesterday. of the ap- pointment of B, J, McCormick, of Welland, Ontario, to the position of industrial com- mi er and secretary of the Chamber of Commerce of Oshawa, to succeed Leon Fraz. er, whose resignation: was announced some time ago was received in the city with con. siderable interest. Mr, McCormick is bring- ing fo this position a wide experience in in- dustrial affairs, and in the work of organiza- tion such as the Chamber of Commerce; and the directors of that body, along with the members of the city council, are convinced that they have secured the right man for the position, Mr. McCormick made an excellent impres- sion when formally introduced to the mem- bers of the Chamber of Commerce at the meeting held last evening. The position which he is undertaking is not an easy one, He will be subjected to criticisms and will have a hard fight to maintain the progress of the Chamber of Commerce. But his work will be made easier and more 'effective if he can feel that he has the united support of the members of the Chamber of Com- merce behind him, One man alone cannot accomplish a great deal. But with a body of citizens such as the members of the Chamber of Commerce loyally behind him, the new secretary should enjoy so great a measure of co-operation that much may be accomplished. We be- speak for Mr, McCormick a kindly welcome, a united pledge of support, and that measure of co-operation which alone can make for successful effort, and so far as The Times is concerned, this newspaper will at all times he ready to lend its aid and co-operation to anything which he may undertake that is for the benefit of the city of Oshawa and its people. SPEAKING FOR THE DUMB A small devoted band of workers in Osh- awa has been laboring for some time past in a worthy cause, the care of dumb ani. mals. This band of workers known as the Oshawa Humane Society, is tomorrow mak- ing an appeal to the citizens of Oshawa for assistance, the means. adopted being the holding of a Tag Day, so that all citizens may. have their opportunity of contributing their mite to this worthy work, ~ The Oshawa Humane Society has a noble aim, one that is not so spectacular, perhaps, as some other organizations, but one which is deserving of the . fullest support. "We speak for those who cannot speak for them- selves," is a motto which expresses, in the fullest degree, the purpose anl nature of its work. The activities of the society are com- prehensive in their scope. Prevention of cruelty to animals, particularly those which might be termed beasts of burden, care of neglected pets, prosecution in cases of wil- ful and deliberate neglect or cruelty to ani- mals, are foremost in the program which is carried on, and all lovers of animals--and there are many of the min Oshawa---should consider it a privilege to be able to make even a small contribution to a cause of this nature. Beli that the appeal of the Humane Soclety will find a responsive chord in the | hearts of the people of Oshawa, The Times Dbespeaks for it the generous support of the community in to-morrow's tag day endeavor. -------------------------------- 4 THE CITIZENS WAITING 5 sm ---- . {zens of Oshawa are waiting pa. ey, Ta with some considerable interest, for some ment from the city coun- cil regarding the proposals for the building of the Simcoe Street Sou th subway, About weeks have passed since their hopes ~ three tart on the project were raised or at rg favorable. judg- the board of railway commissioners, there has been mo inkling of what do. 3 ext, the city council will be ; , The et to that to bring to light. oy part of the council to make as on the work of bway.

Considerable agitation has been aroused in some quarters because of the fact that as a result of the-countervailing tariffs on vege- tables coming from the United States, there has been an increase in the price of these commodities, H. B. Adshead, M.P, for East Calgary, cited an instance of this: in the House of Commons, when he pointed to the | arrival in Yinnipeg of a catload of celery on which a duty of $450 had to be paid, in- stéad of a duty of $189 which would have been paid under the old rates. Naturally, that increase in the price of the celery, as laid down at Winnipeg, added greatly to the retail price, and the ultimate consumer had to pay the difference. This, however, is a point which seems to haye been overlooked by those who agitate for increased tariffs on any articles, and par- ticularly on farm products, They fail to point out to the public that the natural re. sult of these tariffs will be an increase in prices, That is the object of asking for them. In other words, tariffs are taxes, and are passed on to the ultimate consumer in every case. The housewife buying foodstuffs has to pay not only the value of the articles, but the tariff in addition, This is an economic law that will always function in this way so long as there are tariffs, and under the present world struc- ture of economics, there does not seem to be any hope of changing things. It is easy for those who are seeking protection to ask for higher tariffs, and in some cases these are necessary for the development of industries, but it should not be forgotten that in every case the tariff has to be paid by the consum- ers in the form of a tax, and they invariably have the result of increasing living costs in one direction or another, SWAT THE FLY The dirty and dangerous fly is again mak- ing his appearance, and before long his num- bers will have increased tremendously. Every person, and housewives in particular, realizes by this time the menace of the fly, but the important thing to remember is that a fly killed early in the year will account for myriads of them later on. The war on this pest should begin at once, and should be carried on assiduously. It is common knowledge that flies,breed in filth and that they carry disease germs. That is why it is so important to prevent such breeding places. It is a much more ef- fective method of control than killing the few that come within reach, Wherever there are any breeding places for these pesky little insects, they should be cleaned out at once, for a little bit of prevention goes a long way in dealing with the fly menace.
