That seems to have been 'the chief thought in their minds in their 'discussions of municipal affairs, as if that Were all that were needed to solve Oshawa's problems. True, the reduction of expenditures and taxation, and the collection of arrears of taxes, are highly desirable, but a policy 'which sees only that side of the picture is a purely negative policy, one which lacks the vision of Oshawa's real requirements. What Oshawa needs is a constructive 'policy, a policy that can see just a little bit farther ahead than the mere necessity of . lowering taxes. Oshawa's greatest need to- day, and for the years to come, is an addition fo its industrial structure. To put it blunt- ly, Ochawa needs more places where its citi- zens can find work. ' Oshawa needs more and . more industries, factories to provide jobs that will take care of the surplus population * which is at the present time unable to find _ employment. That is the problem which confronts Osh- awa today. The solution of it rests in the hands of the people of Oshawa. They need #0 be seized with the importance of it, be- cause it is only as they are willing to do . their share to bring industries here that the city will be able to take care of its workers. Let us have a dozen more factories operating here, and giving emplorment to hundreds, possibly thousands, of ren and women, and there will not be muct occasion to worry Bhout the tax rate. W' as Oshawans need 'be awakened out of 1 .¢ spirit of indiffer- seems to exist with reference to locating of new industries. That there erence was amply proven only a few ago, when the campaign was under for the financing of the building for the Company. And until that indiffer- efice is dispelled, and is replaced by a deter- mination on the part of all our citizens to dig down and do their share towards the up- ing of the city from the industrial point of view, wa,can hope for little permanent re- ~ lief from the problem which is most press- Ing at the present time, the problem of find- Ing work for the. unemployed. SORRY TO LOSE HIM ; It is not always easy to understand some of the things that are done by banks, nor the reasons why they are done. For instance, a 'day or two ago, as is announced in today's of The Times, an order came to Lt.-Col. C. Hodgins, manager of the local branch the Canadian Bank of Commerce, that he is being transferred to the Kingston of the bank. Col. Hodgins has been here for ten years. He has grown up with the place, for it was only an average sized town when he arrived. And he has been here long enough to have fitted .dplendidly into the activities of Osh- "" He has been an asset to the community 1 of its lines of business and social vity, The Rotary Club, the Chamber of Commerce, the Oshawa Golf and Country Club, the Ontario Regiment, and the Little Theatre movement, and other "movements besides, have all felt the benign influence of his , and he has become a leader n Aine with which he has been iden- 'tified. And now, just when he is at the peak of his career of service to this community, as it were, his superiors are going to whisk him away to the Limestone City. 4 'Col.

Mundy, President, me how short he is, : New: fork unanimously that one could not help feeling surprised that it was not taken years ago. . "The women of' South Ontario have a defin- its and important part to play in the success of the Oshawa Fair. They provide a large proportion of its exhibits, so it seems only natural that they should have something to 'say about the arrangements for their part of the annual exhibition. It was apparent, from the representations which were made to the meeting, that the time had arrived for breaking new ground so far as the women's section of the fair was concerned, and the logical step, after that had been conceded, was to invite the women to join in the work of planning the program for the next fair. There need be no fear of the ability nor the willingness of the women to lend valuable service in this connection. Why, this kind of work comes as second nature to many wo- men. They like to make things look attrac- tive, to arrange things tastefully and so that they will be shown to the best advantage, and, in addition to that, they have, when oc- casion demands, shown themselves to be ex- cellent organizers. All of these qualities will be very useful to the fair board, and the directors can feel satisfied that they were acting in the best interests of their society when they decided to allow represeitatives of the feminine sex a place on their directorate. EDITORIAL NOTES A real old-fashioned snowfall, or a sus- tained thaw, would be welcomed by the mo- torists who are finding the going dangerous on the city streets. Mr. Henry may be the new premier, but Mr. Price has stolen Mr. Ferguson's knack of getting into the newspaper headlines. It is bad enough now with thirteen divi- sions, but what will it be like when we have to collect election returns from 46 polling divisions in Oshawa. It will be quite a problem for Mr. Bennett to finance all the projects he has been asked to undertake with a reduction of $100,000,- 000 iy his revenue. It is to be expected, of course, that Mr. King, when the house meets at Ottawa, will blame the reduction in revenue on the Con- servative government, v Other Editors' Comment IT'S NO DREAM (Strathroy Age-Dispatch) If you want to have your optimism restored, jour- ney forth to a "fowl supper" at one of our surround- ing country churches.

(To be continued) STATE INSURANCE PLAN SEEN HASTY Further Deliberation Requir- ed, Says Board of Trade President Montreal, Jan. 24.--Before the Quebec Government introduces state insurance into this Province, Walter Molson, president of the Montreal Board of Trade, believes it would be in the interests of all concerned If the measure were giv- en further study, particularly as the record of the Government shows it is not in the habit of passing leg- islation of such a far reaching char- acter until it has been investigated very thoroughly. He expressed this view because. he sald, Quebec is held in high es- teem elsewhere for the sanity of its legislation and for the good rela tions that exist in the Province. "I feel,' he said, "that the Gov- ernment is hurrying 'this legisla- tion unduly, and its passage will rive people the. impression that fit has been stampeded. The creation of such an impression would be un- fortgnate, because we have always prided ourselves in Quebec on fol- lowing an orderly course where the introduction of anything so radie- ally different to what is in effect is contemplated. "The present law was passe after detailed study. It has been n force a little more than two years, and while it may or may not be true that the present act needs some amendments--a point on which I do not pretend at the mo- ment to offer an opinfon--that does not seem a reasonable argument for hurriedly jettisoning existing legis- lation and substituting state in- surance.

In the present instance we are copying the law of a sister province without a full inquiry, and to my mind, such a procedure is, to say the least, unusual, The 'Quebec Government has shown a desire of late years, to con- sult industry where legislation af- fecting it 1s to be introduced. Would it not be better therefore, in this case, for the Government to call into consultation all the inter- ested parties before committing it- self to the plan it proposes, especi- ally when there appears to have been, relatively, so few complaints against the existing law? "The Montreal Board of Trade has recently expressed itself to the Government to the above effect, in broad yet emphatic terms, "We are co-operating energetic- ally in efforts being made to alle- viate the unemployment situation. We are also devoting much time toward the encouragement of in- dustry in the province. Naturally, therefore, we experience a feeling of discouragement and apprehension at the prospect of a radical and has- ty change in legislation affecting all industries in the province."

CRAFTY OLD BIRD LURED T0 DEATH Hawk "Hit on Wing" by De- troit Constable Detroit, Jan, 24--The great hawk hunt is over and the wise old rascal of the wilderness who made down- town Detroit his hunting grounds for | weeks has gone the way of all flesh. The hawk was shot down yesterday y Sergeant Max Wendlandt, crack marksman of the police depart- magt, from his ambush on Laton Tower, The killer died as he had lived-- swooping down, wounded, in a last desperate attack on a papier-mache owl, an effigy of his traditional en- emy. Now that he is gone, the crowds who shouted for his death appear to be a little disappointed. Everyone had come to respect the crafty gray killer who chased pigeons in the win- dows of police headquarters and seemed to know how far Sergt, Wen- dlandt's gun would shoot. The imitation owl was posted on a stick atop the Eaton Tower on the advice of John T. Millen, director of e z00, who knows the psychology of wild things. The hawk, circling high above the skyscrapers, spied the ow! and lunged to the attack. .Sergeant. Wendlandt's shotgun blazed. The hawk, hit on the wing, fell 40 feet, veled off and sailed away, ' - A few minutes later trom a totally Jmespected quarter he came charg- i own again, wings stiffened high behind him, and talons outstretched for the battle. The shotgun spoke again, The killer crumpled in the air, and plunged down into Broadway. housands of persons, attracted by the shots, streamed into Broadway and police reserves had to be called to disperse the crowd. NEW UNIVERSITY HONORS GEN. SMUTS Degree Given Former Pre- mier Through One of Former Opponents Pretoria, South Africa Jan. 24--- Gen. Jan Christiaan Smuts, former Prime Minister of South Africa and present leader of the Opposition in the South African Parliament, has been given an honorary degree by the new University of Pretoria. Not only has this distinguished Empire figure been thus honored, buf the degree, Doctor of Literature, has been conferred on him by his old political opponent, Justice Tielman Roos, a former minister in the Hert- 20g Government, now Chancellor of the new University. The honor came to the former premier at the first graduation day ceremonies of the University of Pretoria. The conferring of the degree upon General Smuts took place in the Opera House, which was crowded with singing students, and the cere mony was attended by a large sec tion of the public. Justice Tielman Roos, in his address, said the estab. lishment of the University did much to enhance the self-respect and pres- tige of the capital. It must be re membered that no other university could be established in the Trans- vaal which could make so wide an appeal to all sections of the people of the Transvaal and even of South Africa, The opportunity presented itself afresh to Pretoria to play a leading part in the development of the coun: try as a whole, Justice Roos said The greatest object of a university was to attract students and to pre pare them for the battle of life. This battle would be greatly intensified in the future and the young men and women of South Africa would have to be much better equipped than in the past.

His plans call for a survey during the summer months of Greater Mon- treal, observations to be made at im- portant intersections of city streets and at other designated places in or- der to accurately measure the amount of noise and to see what proportion of it is unnecessary. Citizens, under the plans drawn up, would be canvassed by form letters in which a series of questions would enable harassed householders to in- dicate what noises rob them of their rightful rest. The observations made through reliable test apparatus, de- signed within the past two years, and the answers to queries to citizens would be incorporated in a report to the public who would then be asked to co-operate in a drive to reduce noise. INDUSTRIAL CANADA GIVES PICTURE OF CANADIAN INDUSTRY A well - illustrated descriptive ac- count of base metal production in Canada feapires the January issue of "Industrial Canada," the ol icial pub- lication of the Canadian Mantifactur- ers' Association. This important branch of industry, which has wit- nessed remarkable expansion in_the last few years, is presented as an'ex- CE i JAR ample of what the development of the Produced-in-Canada idea mean: to the Dominion, It is demonstrat- ed thee through its expansion Canad: is do longer dependent on other eauntries for its supply of refined copper, lead, zinc and nickel and that as a result of having a domestic gource of supply at hand new indus- tries using these raw malcrial springing into existence. Official statements are published showing that in their construction programmes, which have been very large, the base metal producing con panies have adopted the Produced. in-Canada policy, buying materials and equipment very largely in Can. ada. This is further attested by sta- tements from many manufacturers of machinery and supplies, who report that they have derived substantia benefits from the orders placed with them. The railway companies like- wise point out the advantages flow- ing from the new traffic. created, while an article points to the way in which new communities have been built up, creating valuable amrkets for agricultural 'produce and other commodities. The fact that several of these communities have grown up in hitherto inaccessible wastes, re- veals the further advantage to Can- ada through the opening up of new territory to settlement and the push. ing northward of the frontier of civ. ilization. -- Ld Announcing MADE-IN-OSHAW BATTERIES May Now Be Obtained From _ Office and Factory BOND BROS, King St. and Ritson Rd., Oshawa ONTARIO MOTOR SALES, 99 Simcoe St. S., Oshawa F.
