Tresidder, representative, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1930 " A SPLENDID BEGINNING Oshawa Harbor is closed for the 1930 peason. With the arrival of the last steamer with its cargo, and its departure, the harbor lights have been taken down, and its func- tions, for the present year, are at an end It has been in operation for less than four months, since that glorious August day when the first vessel steamed within its breakwater, but in that time it made a record which will stand for a long time in the an- nals of lake harbors of the same type as that of Oshawa. In that time, over 22,000 tons of freight passed over the docks at Oshawa. harbor, passing to and from the 51 ships which entered and went away again with the products of Oshawa industries safely stowed away on board. y If it has done nothing else, this record has shown how much Oshawa needed harbor facilities. It has shown that the present har- bor facilities are not nearly adequate even for present requirements, and that, when a full season of harbor traffic is experienced, Oshawa will become one of the busiest of the smaller lake ports on the great lakes. And it need not long remain a small lake port. We believe that the department of public works engineers, and the minister at the head of the department, are fully convinced that Oshawa needs greater harbor facilities than are at present available, and there is every reason to believe that before next summer comes along, there will be great develop- ments. The main thought at this time, however, is that the harbor has proven its worth, that it has become one of the most valuable assets of the city, that nothing save governmental srocrastination can hold it back. THE POWER OF THE UNIONS One would imagine that the workers of Great Britain would be suffering sufficiently from lack of employment without refusing to go to work when the opportunity is pro- vided for them to do so. That, in effect, is the situation which exists in the coal mines of Scotland, where the miners are on strike against new working regulations which have been put into effect as a result of the new coal mines legislation. And, as if that were not sufficient, it is reported that 200,000 workers in the cotton industry are alsoron the verge of srike. These two incidents serve to show how strong the organizations of labor are in Great Britain. As a result of the power of the trades unions, the workers are able to reject or accept, as they see fit, the working conditions and wage scales which are fixed for them by the employers. And as they have their grievances submitted to properly-con- stituted courts of arbitration, they are very often successful in winning the cause for which they are fighting in the only way that has been found effective. This must not be construed as meaning that the strike weapon is a good thing for the workers in all cases. Sometimes it is abused, and we fear that in many cases the workers lose more by a strike then they could gain by winning their battle. But it is a fact that so long as they have the strength to resort to the strike, they can be sure that there will be fair dealing on the part of the employer class. This is not always so in this country, where industrial strikes are very few and far between. When factory wage scales are re-adjusted and changes made in working conditions in this country, the workers sim-. ply have to make the best of it, particularly in a time of unemployment, for they know from experience that there are plenty of others waiting to step into the jobs they would vacate if they refused to work on the terms laid down by their employérs. In some trades, of course, the unions are strong enough to enforce their agreements, but the factory workers do not come: within that category, so that they cannot do as the mill wouxers in Lancashire are threatening to do,--go on strike because their employers are trying to change production methods so as to lesson the number of workers required sin one of the operations in the factory. That may make for industrial peace in this coun- try, and Af that can be achieved 'without sacrificing the rights whigh belong to the workers as human beings, then one must continue to express doubt as to the ultimate value of the strike as an industrial weapon. DOMESTIC SERVICE FOR GIRLS The controversy which has arisen in Lan-, |. , England, with regard to the with- flies of "dole" payments to girls who'have refused to accept positions in domestic ser- vice brings to the fore the curious disinclina- A tion on the part of the girls to follow this type of 'work. It is peculiar that girls who have worked in factories should .ob- ject to working in domestic service, be-- cause, in the first place, they would, in all probability, be Working under much more healthful and congenial conditions, and would, in the final analysis, probably be bet- ter off financially than in factory employ- ment, At any rate, they would be much bet- ter in .this s of 'work than to have no work at all. : It is a strange thing that so many girls should feel that it is beneath their dignity to accept work in domestic capacities. There is no kind -of work which should come more naturally to a girl, and it is only because of a very mistaken idea that she is lowering her personal status by going into such ser- vice that this antipathy exists. Many girls, in domestic service, are given a. splendid training in the arts of housekeeping, a train- ing which will stand them in good stead, and will make them splendid housewives when the time comes for them to have homes of their own. And the discerning man, too, is bound to recognizee that a girl inthis kind of work is very apt to make him a much bet- ter wife than one who disdains to do any- thing at all which savors of housework. Doméstic service is. a necessary and an honorable vocation. True, -it sometimes im- poses restrictions on the liberty of those engaged in it, but in these modern days, there are fewer restrictions than there used to be, and the girl who can win the confidence of her mistress seldom has any complaint to make in this respect. And she has, too, in most cases, all the comforts of a good home, the certainty of good food and hu- mane treatment,, and a sufficient income to look after her needs and enable her to save a little. That is more than can be said of many of the girls who would rather remain unemployed than take up the tasks of dom- estic service, because of their mistaken idea that it is menial and degrading work. There is nothing degrading about it, and those girls who work in stores, in factories, and in offic- es, have no reason to feel, as many of them do, that they are superior to those who are performing the very necessary duties of taking care of homes. After all, home-mak- ing and home-keeping are the greatest of the duties which fall to the lot of woman- kind, and the domestic servant, because of her training and experience, is much better qualified for these duties than are her sisters who seek careers. USING CANADIAN WHEAT One of the large Canadian manufacturing companies which uses large quantities of wheat as the raw material for its product, has adopted an interesting attitude in its ad- vertising, by urging the people of Canada to eat more wheat, so as to help dispose of the surplus which has been accumulated, and for which there is difficulty in securing a market. This kind of advertising serves a two-fold purpose. First, it directs attention to the product advertised, and thus has a commercial value. Second, it has the added value of showing the people of Canada how they can help themselves to greater prosper- ity. It is admitted that the crux of Canadian prosperity is to be found in the marketing 0} Ine grain crops. It is further admitted that the overseas markets for that crop have, for the time being, failed, and are not taking the quantities of Canadian wheat expected. The greatest and most feasible solution, then, is for the people of Canada to eat more of the wheat products of this country, dnd any advertising which leads people to thifik favorably along these lines is serving a very useful purpose to the country as a whole Publicity of this nature has been successfu. in other lines, It has increased the per cap ita consumption of butter, eggs and milk. There is no reason why it should not increase the per capita consumption of wheat pro- ducts, and thus provide markets for many more millions of bushels of Canadian grain to take the place of the overseas markets which are not at present available, EDITORIAL NOTES A name may not mean much, but a "wel- fare cafeteria" sounds much better than a mere soup kitchen, Rugby is making a strong effort to re- place hockey as Canada's great winter sport.

Matches, the cause of so many conflagrations, were discover- ed to be the cause of these out- breaks. These mothers had left the matches thoughtlessly in their rooms and little ones had picked them up, innocently ignited them, with the result that the fire brigade had to be summoned. Promising to exercise more prudence in the fu- ture, the women were warned and allowed to go. Annual reports of practically all fire departments prove in the most convincing man- ner that if more care were used by adults in the handling of matches fire losses would be considerably re- duced. The Dominion Forestry has the clearest proof that numerous forest fires, which so deplete the timber wealth of the country, are caused by the careless habits of campers and others in throwing away matches before they are fully extinguished. The want of a little forethought often causes disastrous results. ON THE RIGHT TRACK (St. Catharines Standard) Hon, Gideon Robertson, Minister of Labor, is on the right. track in trying to knock down the price or flour and bread throughout the country. The minister at first left it up to the producers and it is said they have not responded satisfac- torily. An investigation under the Combines Act would unquestionably have a good effect and would be to the advantage of the .consumer Bad investments by the manage- ment of the Maple Leaf Milling Company are no excuse for making it up out of the consumer, Bits of Humour RESEMBLANCE She was the kind of woman who could be relied upon to say the wrong thing wherever she was, At a recent dinner she turned to her neighbor and said: "Doctor, can you tell me who that horrible-looking man is over there?" "I can," replied the medical man, "That is my brother." There was an awkard pause while the woman racked her brains for something to say. The doctor was enjoying her discomfiture. "Oh, I beg your pardon," she stammered, blushing. "How silly of me not to have seen the resem- blance!" THE RULING PASSION "They say Boggs is crazy on the ubject of golf and his wife is equal- ly crazy over auction sales." "Yes, and the funny part of it is they both talk in their sleep. The other night a lodger in the nextflat heard Boggs shout 'Fore,' and im- mediately Mrs. Boggé yelled 'Four and a quarter,' " * City Chap--Why hasn't that cow yver there horns?

SHARES The Authorized Capital of the Company is $500,000, composed of 5000 Shares of Common Stock of $100 par value, The present issue is $100,000, being 1000 shares at $100 per share, EXPENSES The only exp of the Company at the date of this Pros- pectus are the incidental disbursements necessary for the incorpora- tion of the Company and its organization. Legal services have been and will be donated gratis by G. D, Conant of the firm of Conant & Annis, Barristers, &c., Oshawa. The expenses in connection with the placing of this issue including all commissions, advertising, printing and publicity will amount to about 2% %. PROSPECTS The Company, having been sponsored by the Oshawa Chamber co-operation from that organ. ization and from the Oshawa City ncil through the maintenance of an Industrial Commissioner and an Industrial Committee, Ample machinery has been set up and is in operation for securing in- dustries and for making all necessary preliminary investigations, INDUSTRIAL SITES It has been felt for some time from the experience of the officers of Oshawa Industrial Foundation, Limited, particularly in their capacity as directors and officers of the Oshawa Chamber of Com- merce, that the industrial development and extension of Oshawa could only be assured by having available proper industrial sites suitably located and conveniently served with the necessary facilitics. In the year 1929 representations were made to the Ontario Legislature for legislation that would enable the purchase hy the City of industrial sites and this resulted in the passing of THE INDUSTRIAL SITES ACT, 1929, which enables the City to pur- chase industrial sites with the consent and approval of the electors. Soon after the passing of this Act, a by-law was submitted to the ratepayers of Oshawa to authorize the expenditure of $30,000, in the purchase of industrial sites and this by-law was passed by a large majority of the ratepayers. Following the passing of this by-law the City purchased an arez of about 13 acres on Simcoe Street, South, adjoining the plant of The Skinner Company, Limited, and has more recently purchased an area of about 12 acres at the Harbour. In addition to these areas the City owns a tract of about 100 acres of land near the Harbour acquired some time ago. It is felt that the City of Oshawa is now in an enviable position through having available most desirable sites for the location of industries, PRESENT ISSUE The proceeds of the present issue will be used to purchase from the City part of the Industrial area on Simcoe Street South, and to erect theron a building for Coulter Manufacturing Company, Limited, and for one of several other industries with which negoti- ations are now pending: Oshawa Industrial Foundation, Limited, has entered into a con- tract with COULTER MANUFACTURING COMPANY, LIMITED, whereby Oshawa Industrial Foundation, Limited, agrees to acquire a site of 2.39 acres immediately south of and ajoining the lands of The Skinner Company, Limited, on Simcoe Street South and to construct thereon a building with a floor area of not less than 24,000 sq. ft. The building will be of standard heavy type factory construction, concrete foundation, brick vals, steel sash with modern roof of lantern or gondola type. e signed contract provides that Coulter Manufacturing Company, Limited, will, upon completion of the building, enter into a lease of the entire premises for a period of ten years at an annual rental to consist of 10% of the total cost of the site, building and all expenses incidental there- to, the said rental to be payable quarterly. The agreement further provides that upon the completion of the building and upon Coulter Manutacturihg Company, Limited, setting up machinery and equip- ment therein to the value of not less than $65,000.00, Oshawa Industrial Foundation, Limited, fs to advance the sum of $10,000.00 to assist in equipping the plant with 60 cycle motors, and in moving its machinery and equippment to Oshawa. This $10,000.00 is to be repaid with interest at 7% per annum in five equal consecutive annual instalments and is to be secdred by the deposit with the Oshawa Industrial Foundation, Limited, of one-third of the issued capital stock of Coulter Manufacturing' Company, Limited, the par value of which it is expected will be not less than four times the amount of this loan to the Company. COULTER MANUFACTURING COMPANY, LIMITED, has its origin in Coulter Copper & Brass Co. Limited, an old established firm in the City of Toronto, which has outgrown its present premises. The new company will bring to' Oshawa a substantial part of the machinery and equipment, goodwill and orders for busi- ness of the old Company. Approximately one-half of the business of the new' company will consist of the nianufacture of automobile hardware and the remainder of the business of the company will arise from general hardware manufacturing. It is conservatively estimated by the Officers and Directors of Coulter Manufacturing Compa#tty, Limited, and of Oshawa Industrial Foundation, Limited, who have thoroughly investigated, that upon the establishment of the firm in Oshawa at least 100 employees will be engaged and that this number will be considerably increased in a short time, It is estimated that the cost of the site and building for and the loan to Coulter Manufacturing Company, Limited, will involve a total expenditure of approximately $65,000.00, and that the vatue of the plant, machinery and equipment installed by Coulter Manu- facturing Co., Limited, will be more than twice the total expendi- tures by Oshawa Industrial Foundation, Limited. The Oshawa Industrial Commissioner and the Directors and Officers of Oshawa Industrial Foundation, Limited, are in negotiation with several other substantial firms with a view to locating them in Oshawa within the next few months." It is confidently expected that one and the - most desirable of these industries wilt be located in Oshawa in: the . very near future and that the balance of the present issue will be required to provide facilities. for this other industry. The Coulter proposition is being proceeded with at once and plans and specifications are under preparation so that construction may commence as soon as satisfactory contracts have been secured. The Coulter Company is desirous of establishing its plant and getting into operation in Oshawa with the least possible delay. It is ex- pected that this plant will be into production in the City of Oshawa not later than February 1st, 1931. DIVIDENDS It is the intention of the Officers and 'Directors of Oshawa Industrial Foundation, Limited, to distribute among the shareholders as dividends the entire revenues of .the: Company from rental and interest moneys after defraying taxes, insurance, depreciation and alt other necessary expenses. It is expected that this policy will enable the company to pay dividends of approximately 6% per annum to the shareholders, APPLICATIONS Subscriptions for stock may be made on application to and any further information may be obtained from any of the Directors or Officers or the financial agents of the Company. All subscriptions for stock, however, will be subject to the approval of the Board of Directors of Oshawa Industrial Foundation, Limited. Dated this 1st day of December, A.D, 1930 .
