New York and Chicago BATURDAY, JULY 19, 1080 WORTH TRYING Emm -------- In most of the constituencies of Canada, the nomination day speeches of the candi- dates are the high lights of the election campaign, The electors assemble for the nomination proceedings, and at the close of the time limit, the candidates speak, con- ducting, as It were, a real debate, with all the rivals present, on the Issues of the day, It is unfortunate that such a custom has fallen Into disuse in the riding of Ontario, It would add greatly to the interest of the camaign, and to the Informing of the elec. tors on the Issues of the election, were Dr, Kalser and W. H, Moore to appear together at a nomination meeting and discuss the [a sues from thelr various angles, Buch a meel- ing would arouse more interest than any other kind in the campaign, It is well worth trying, even if it were arranged by the can- didates that the meeting be held in the even. ing, when a larger audience could attend, We commend this suggestion to the consid. eration of those concerned, for It Is hy no means too late to arrange for a meeting of this nature, UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE A good deal is being heard at present res garding the feasibility of some form of un. employment insurance for Canada, In this regard, it Is Interesting to note that a bil providing for a measure of this kind has been introduced In the House of Assembly by the government of New Zealand, The New Zealand bill provides for an an- nual levy of about $7.50 on all male workers over 21 years of age, with some exceptions, This levy will provide half the Insurance fund, and the government provides the other half, The scheme provides that in case of unemployment, the worker will receive an allowance of $5.25 a week for himself, $4.50 extea for his wife If he Is married, and $1,00 a week extra for each child, The scale of payments may not seem generous, but they will at least keep the wolf of hunger from the door in a time of unemployment, This wounds like a reasonable scheme, It cannot be termed a 'dole' as one newspaper heading called It. Rather is it something to which the workers, by their payments of the annual premium, are entitled to collect, It will be Interesting to watch the workings of the New Zealund scheme, for, If it should prove successful, there ix no reason why a similar plan could net be formulated for Canada, Another form of unemployment Insurance vhich has been set in operation ia that de vised by the General Electric Company of Schenectady, N.Y. This firm has put in operation a scheme for ita own employees, based on the system of joint contribution by the employees and the company, the share of the workers being oqual to one por cont, of his earnings, Under this plan, when work becomes slack, men are laid off but not pald off, They remain on the pay roll, and recelve unemployment insurance henes fits equal to fifty per cent, of their full time earnings, This Is only one phase of the plan of the eGneral Electric Company for nafe- guarding its employees against times of de- pression, but in the light of the present ins terest unemployment insurance it In import. a are {8 no reason why Canadian indus. tries could not undertaken similar plan, if it is found impossible for the government to reach a favorable decision, Sentiment everywhere is growing in favor of the un employment insurance idea, and in it seems to lie the ultimate solution of the problem of providing for the families of Canadian workers in times of depressed industry. --m------------------------ STILL AHEAD IN SHIPBUILDING atch from London, England, calls apa the fact that in the last three months there hau been a decline In the ratio of Britain's shipbuilding industry to that of of the world, That would Indicate ne. that other countries are showing a keener interest in the building of ships, but it is not the most important point in "the despatch, The moat important point ia that of all the shipbuilding done in the world In that period, 45 per cent, was done in Great Britain and Ireland, "These are significant figures, They show that, in spite of all that has been said re garding the commercial and Industrial de- cline of Britain, she Is still far ahead of all competitors in shipbuflding, In fact, she Is not far short of being equsl to all the rest of the world put together, There Is not much sign there of decadence of the Mother country, . ONLY A FEW OPPORTUNITIES It is sixty-three years since the Canadian House of Commons came Into being as a result of the Confederation of the provinces, In that time, Canada has had sixteen par- liaments, This means that the average life of a parliament Is four years, and that the electors of Canada have the opportunity only once In every four years to go to the polls to elect thelr representatives in the, fed. eral parliament, Carrying this thought further, It means that If a voter lived to he over eighty years of age, he would only have fifteen chances in all these years to give expression to his desires as to what Is in the best Interest of his country, Think of it! Only fifteen chances to vote a general election In a lifetime of over eighty years, The man or woman who would let: one of these chances go past cannot be sald to have much of the spark of patriot ism, This is a thought worth considering. On July 28 one of the fifteen opportunities will be provided, and every man and woman eligible to vote should make sure that It Is not allowed to pass by unheeded, THE NEWSPAPER FIRST The porition which the newspaper = oc cuples as an advertising medium Is splendid ly demonstrated in a recent survey made in the United States In this connection, The survey showed that, in the amount of money spent on advertising, more Was spent in the newspapers than on all other forms of nd: vertising put together, - The table for the vear 1029 in given as follows: w18,000f600 65,000,000 Car cards Wea Outdoor advertising .... 140,000,000 100,000,000 Farm papers Business papers Gieneral Magazines ith $00,000,000 Newspaper advertising .. 786,000,000 Thus the newspaper remains unchalleng- ed as the surest and the mont effective means of getting a merchandising message across to the public, and the man who has anything to sell, or any business to hulld, can arrive at his own conclusions as to which Is the best method of making an ap. peal by studying the significance of the fig ures quoted above, DRESS REFORM AND WAR Those gallant souls who are laboring In the cause of Dress Reform for Men are true servants of world peace, Perhaps without fully realizing it, they see that the progres. salve drabness of male attire has kept pace with the development of war from a some. what glorious and often chivalrous affalr into horribly efficient mass murder, Men want peace, but not so much as they want color and romance, But, standing In the way of their timid aspirations towards beauty, are those hypocrites who have bullt up the cult of "manliness," To these, whose faces so often reflect the meanness of little souls, to be heautiful is to be an outcast, It in all very sad and, a worse thing, un- natural, No one need study nature long un- til he realizes that man's foolish penance of conformity is worse than a witch's curse, Let the world of men flame with color, an God's world does; let us have muslie, laughter, and the joy of living, It in only a little while at best , . , after that, the dark, and EDITORIAL, NOTES The Bisley team has again given Canada avery reason to feel proud of the prowess of its aona, One maxim, which Is often forgotten by politicians, in that it ix better to refuse the request than to break the promise, This continent han been inhabited for thirty thousand years, says a scientist, And some of the used cars one seen for sale must have heen here just as long, Hamilton is now considering going after a share of that fifty-fifty grant of Premier King towards velief works, Oshawa should not allow itself to be left. out in the cold when this assistance ia being handed out, The Hamilton Spectator voices a good sen. timent when it suggests that it would be more appropriate for men to go over Nia. gara Falls in a casket, rather than a barrel, One of the outstanding features in the election campaign is the splendidly impartial and complete way in which The Canadian Pros is "covering" the speeches of the chief anders, It in well to remember that a summer vacation ix just as cheap as staying at home and entertaining relatives who are on va. cation, The W. H. Moore Program For Employment A dally department in wpport of the candi. dature of W. H'. Moore, LOCAL UNEMPLOYMENT COUNCILS Let us examine, one hy one, the seven main principles on which the W, H, Moore program for employment is based, and see what could he the result of thelr application in Oshawa, which, after all, is the thing in which the people of this city are mainly Interested, The first principle is as follows: 9 "The creation of Local Unemployment Councils, of a non-partisan and represenintive character, to give direc: tion to the balancing of employment of any community, und to study means of providing employment," This principle places the problem where it first belongs, on the local municipality, but provides for action, not on the part of the city council), but of a body consisting of representative citizens, These citizens would he representatives of the em- ployers und the employees, of service clubs and fraternal or. ganizations, or churches and benefit societies, and other inter ented organizations, The councils would be entirely non-part. isan, which explains why the city council would not be repre- sented, for that body Is part of the three-fold system of gov. ernment, municipal, provinelal and federal, on which rests the responsibility for final action, These councils, in effect, would net an the connecting link between the unemployed workers and the three fold governing body, bringing the people in closer touch with thelr governments, something which. is a vital need | In the present stage of democracy One can readily visualize a Local Unemployment Counell suitable for the needs of Oshawa, In addition to represent. utives of the employers and employ oes, It would have within Its ranks representatives of the Rotary, Kiwanis and Kinsmen's Clubs, and muny. lodges and societies in the eity like the Chosen Friends, Oddfellows, Foresters, Sons of England, Sons of Scot. lund, Knights of Phythias, and so on, the Chamber of Com: merce, the Canadian Leglon, the Women's Welfare League, the Red the Associated Welfare Societies, and other organizations of a like nature, It is not hard to pleture the splendid class of citizens of Oshawa who would be drawn into the service of the community through this coun. ell, which would sit down, and with a serious purpose in view, vxplore the avenues of employment, take steps to fit unem. ployed men and women into thelr places as wage-earners in the community, snd act In un advisory capacity to the eity council In the consideration of civic means of providing employment. The Local Employment Councils would have a further and a {arsrenching function, that of becoming the driving foree In securing legislative action, and federal and provincial assist. ance in dealing with any unemployment crisis, With Local Employment Councils In every municipality in Ontarlo, united in thought and policy, there would be no "passing the buck" between the federal, provinelul and municipal authorities as to who should take action to relieve unemployment, The moment this kind of tactics became apparent,' there would be a show- down, for no government would dare to stand against these Local Employment Councils, representative of whole commun: ities, once thay had evolved a scheme of government action which they believe would solve the problem, And, by form- ulating such schemes, and presenting them to the various gov- erning bodies, they would bring to bear on the problem of un. employment un assembled force of knowledge and experionce which would be invaluable in fitting men and women Into the industrial life of local communities, simply because, being local in their character, they would be able to deal effectively with local problems and conditions, Monday's article will deal with the second prineiple of the William H, Moore program for employment, the question of chief distress, (Ingerted by Ontario Riding Liberal Association) Cross Noclety, --------------------------r m---------- ZION NEWS Our Ladies' Association will be pleased to entertain Kedron Ladies, Hn at our churel, on Wednesday alter %ion, July 10-My, and Mrs, Roy Murphy and two ohildren, Toronto, spent Snday with their parents, My and Mrs, 1 Murphy " Mr, and Mrs. Wilfred Murphy, Toronto, are spending two weeks with Wis parents, Miss Mary Mur hy accompanied thei home after Paving a wee's holidays, Congmmtulntions to Miss Heryl Glaspel on winning honors inher el CMCNLATY EXITS IN music and mast er Gerald Balson on passing the sume exam.
