MONDAY, MARCH 23, 1981 "THE GAS BYLAWS CARRIED The electors and ratepayers of Oshawa did , good stroke of business for themselves on Saturday, when the three bylaws in connec- tion with the sale of the gas plant were car- ried by overwhelming majorities. 'The re- sult in each case was decisive, even the fixed assessment bylaw, which required a two- thirds vote to carry, being given a substan- tial margin over the necessary vote. In cvery polling sub-division in the city, the bylaws were given large majorities, and the will of the people was expressed with sufficient em- to leave no doubt as to their desires for the future of Oshawa's gas plant and dis- tribution system. ye . » ® ® The result showed conclusively that the people of Oshawa have faith in the judgment of those they elected to represent them on the Public Utilities Commission and the City Council. The members of these two bodies were unanimous in support of the bylaws, and their viewpoint was upheld in no uncer- tain manner by the vote of the people. It was not to be expected, of course, that the bylaws would be carried without opposition. In fact, opposition is a.good thing, since it helps to bring to light facts which might otherwise have been overlooked. But in the present instance it was apparent that the op- position was not of a type to inspire confi- dence in the minds of thinking people. It savored too much of abusive personalities and of misleading assertions to carry much : vweight, and that was amply demonstrated by the vote which was polled on Saturday. . ® * % % In some respects, the supporters of the bylaw can thank their opponents for the majorities recorded, The nature of the opposition was greatly resented by many ea who might not have gone to the trou- ble of voting, but who were aroused to a sense of their responsibility by the tactics employed by the leaders of those opposing Many citizens of Oshawa re- sented the unwarranted interference in the 'situation of Ex-Mayor T. L. Church of To- ronto, a man with no interest in Oshawa, with no vote here, and whose address showed a total] ignorance of the situation which was involved in the bylaws. Mr. Church has surely had sufficient municipal experience in his own city of Toronto to realize that, were a citizen of Oshawa to go there and interfere 'in a purely municipal matter, it would be deeply resented by the people of Toronto, and he should have realized that the same _ feelings would be aroused by his intrusion . into what was a purely local Oshawa matter. From that standpoint, the opponents of the bylaws made a great mistake in inviting Mr. Church to come here, but it was a mistake - which worked for the benefit of the bylaws. The opposition; in fact, was an unorganized affair, without constructive leadership, and based on false conclusions, and could not - hope to succeed. " #® Ow ® The overwhelming majority for the bylaws is more than a vindication of the attitude of the City Council and Public Utilities Com- sgion. It is an expression of the confi- dence of the voters in the ability and good entions of the purchasers to carry out, ily those conditions which are con- ned in the agreement, but also the much rger development which is essential to the profitable operation of a gas system in Osh- The voters pers vA will Ad aceept the tion en to i faith, and : gh 3 es that the company J i Iv C LE ithe, purchase of ge lant fully intends to carry out the plans which have been announced. % % pe 'e are more than ever convinced that the ing of these three bylaws means a great to the future of Oshawa.

It is provided that the gas system' will change hands on April 1, and that immediate expenditures of money must be made. We venture to suggest that within a very few days the gas engineers of 'the Utilities Power and Light Corporation will be in the city pre- paring for the work of expansion and develop- ment. And once their plans are completed, no time will be lost in getting men to work on the extension of the distribution system. These things were, of course, promised in the course of the campaign on the bylaws, and there need be no misgivings as to these prom- ises being fulfilled. : ® & = : The people of Oshawa did a good thing for themselves on Saturday, and it is our sincere hope that with the passing of years, the coming of the Utilities Power and Light Corporation to Oshawa will more than justify the confidence which the voters of Oshawa have shown in its ability and willingness to gay out its agreements to more than the etter. EDITORIAL NOTES The people of Oshawa showed that they are able to decide important questions for themselves without the assistance of Toren- to politicians. The voters of Cedardale gave a wonderful demonstration of their desire for harbor and industrial development. Mayor Marks and Alderman Boddy now have a wonderful backing with which to make their appeal to the minister of public works for a large appropriation for the Oshawa harbor. The result of the voting ought to be taken as a rebuke to those whose idea of opposition is to abuse those who disagree with them. 7 The many and varied reports, showing in- creased business for the automobile indus- try, make good reading for the people of Oshawa. With all the interest which has been taken -in the gas bylaws the fact that the Coulter factory is now nearly ready for operation has almost been overlooked. Oshawa's city council has been given an added incentive to work aggressively for the continued development of Oshawa. The other municipalities involved in the Ontario Shore gas distribution system have been set an excellent example by Oshawa. We desire to express our thanks to the Bell Telephone Company and its operators, and to the deputy returning officers for their splendid co-operation in giving an excellent service of voting returns on Saturday night.

ALD, SAYS: That so much has been sald in behalf of advertising as such that there seems to be little opportunity to say any more for the power and effectiveness of advertising in 1It- self. As an economic force, its placé in the business world has become well established, and while we call this force advertising, a rose by any other name would smell just as sweetly. , There are business men and firms that believe in newspaper advertising, others that believe in doing their publicity 'work through the magazines and bill boards, and still others who declare they are "non-advertisers." It is always amusing to discuss advertising with a non-advertiser, for there are none such. The non-adver- tiser is usually known for his lack of aggressiveness and the incom- pleteness of his stock. The man or firm which is not disposed to tell the world about the wares they handle must, in a sense, feel that they cannot stand behind them for some unknown reason. The best test of quality and re- liability of any product is the fact that a firm is willing to make claims about it out in the open, before the public. If he is a re- liable business man he cannot go back on those claims and there is a great satisfaction in having the assurance that a product thus ad- vertised and sold can be relied up- on to "deliver the goods." Naturally a newspaper man would advocate the use of news- paper space. Quite aside from any selfish interest which men engnged in the newspaper profession might have in their own medium, it must be accepted and acknowledged that the force of the printed word circulated to thousands of homes in @ community is bound to prove effective if the merchandise or service behind that printed word is of the quality and kind advertis- ed and the sales organization hand: ling the product is alert aul ag- gressive to seize the opportunities as they present themselves through customers brought {ato the store or office in response to the adver- tising. It is at this point that much advertising fails. It is use- less to create interest unless those who sell create sales, FELLOWSHIP OF "iC PRAYER 5 DAILY LENTEN DEVOTION PREPARED BY THE REV CLARENCE 4, WILSON, DD FOR THE COMMISSION ON EVANGELISM OF THE FEDEML COUNCIL OF THE CHURCHES OF CHRIST.

In the MOVEMENT BASIS OF SPLENDID BOOK Sylvia Pankhurst Recounts Life of Famous Sister London.---L. Sylvia Pankhurst's book, "The Suffragette Movement" is given a column review in-The TIMES LITERARY supplement: "Among the incidents of her childhood that Miss Sylvia Pank- hurst relates in her book is the fol- lowing. She and her sister Chris- tabel--two years, older than her- selt--were dajly sent out to play in the gardens of Russell-square, where they lived. Like little girls of to-day, they wore blue serge frocks and knickerbockers to match, but their contemporaries were frill- ed white petticoats. Sylvia did not care, but the difference was a great grief to Christabel. One day a triend of their mother's brought them a present of elaborately tuck- ed and trimmed pinafores from Paris. Christabel saw her chance; she sald nothing to the grown-ups; but told Sylvia that when they went out they must secretly put on their pinaforés under their serge frocks. She arranged them so that a frill of lace would show below their short skirts, and told Sylvia that now everyone would think they had pet- ticoats like other little girls. Syl- via was not very anxious to wear the sham petticoat, but Christabel had decided and she had to obey. "It is well that an unheeding generation should know how the militants suffered--and there was 'more suffering in the hunger and thirst strikes and the repeated or- deal of forcible feeding than it is comfortable to realize éven now," says the Reviewer. "It is well, too, that students of human nature should understand the unnatural excitement which buoyed up their solid devotion and sometimes turn- ed it in such strange directions. "This world revolved round her sister Christabel, still as vigorous of resource, and as determined to put on frills and make everyone call them petticoats as in the days of her childhood. Near Christabel was their mother, a woman of much greater powers of intellect and emo- tion, but driven by her elder daugh- ter as a ship before the wind. For a long time there were also the Pe- thick-Lawrences, whose great devo- tion to the cause Christabel had made her own and belief in her effi clency kept them faithful. A time came when first they, and then the long obedient younger sister were forced to withdraw, and Christabel was left with her mother alone. "Miss Sylvia Pankhurst, who writes with affection and under- standing about all her family, makes it plain that, natural as it was to her to be dominated by Christabel, there were always con- tending influences in her life. Among these, oddly enough, one must place the father, from whom they all derived their passion for women's suffrage. Dr. Pankhurst, who died when his daughters were in thelr teens, was, like Christabel, a lawyer and a politician; but he was also an {impassioned social worker. He was always thinking of the immediate reverberation of | events upon the very poor, and, | fighter as he was, pity was his do- minant emotion. His almost daily exhortation to his children, 'If you do not work for other people, you will not have been worth the up bringing," remained in his younger daughter's mind, and began in time to convict with Christabel's pursuit of success and power for their own sakes. It is apparent from this book that before the end of the struggle Votes for Women had come to mean |something different for the two Misses Pankhurst.' ESTEEMED PUBLIC SERVANT OF LONDON 'IS NOW RETIRED London, March 21--One of the old | est, best known and most learned men amongst the servants of the City of London, Sir William Soulsby, for 50 years private secretary to suc cessive Dord Mayors retired recent ly. Sir William was called to the Bar in 1874, and after practising two ycars was appointed Secretary to Lord Mayor Sir Richard Cotton, and 54 successive Chief Magistrates re- elected him. Five years ago, in cele- bration of his service at the Mansion House, he received a testimonial of $50,000 from the bankers and mer- chants of the City, the presentation being - made by Montagu Norman, Governor of the Bank of England. Sir William's knowledge of civic and social matters is unrivalled. At 80 years of age he is still wonderful- ly energetic. Although hc has at- tended scores of banquets and func- tions he only once made a speech within the walls of the Mansion House. That was five years ago when he acknowledged the pre- sentation made to him by the chief men of the city. He first saw the Lord Mayor's show some 70 years ago, when it was used to comprise a water pageant on the Thames be- tween London Bridge and Westmin- ster. From the window of his room in the Mansion House he has scen the passing of 55 Lord Mayor's Shows but he has never ridden in one, OPERA HARD HIT London.--The famous Carl Rosa Opera, Company finds itself so badly hit by trade depression that after a stay of a couple of weeks in Shef- fleld it has abandoned {its tour and returned to London. + This operatic organization has weathered several crises in its 60 years' history.

Brooding is one of the poultryman's most difficult problems and thou- sands of dollars are lost every yeal through faulty brooding. There are several operations that should be closely watched if von are to get good results and I will deal with them in order in which they should come, 1.--~Choosing the brooder: This depends a lot on the number of chicks to be brooded at one time. If 200 or more chicks are to be btrooded together you will he well advised to purchase a large sized brooder stove. The difference in cost between it and the smaller sizes is small and you will find it burns less coal and gives more heat if operated properly. This may sound funny but I am speaking from experience got from tests made on our own farms. Buy o gA21 brooder stove of a reliable make it pays Cheap flimsy stoves are the dearest in the long run I have found it pays to go in for quality not quantity in the poultry business. Whether it is chicks, fowls, or poultry equipment. Put quality first and you will pro- fit by it. One or two things to look at in bdying a brooder stove are: see that the thertmostat, which is the heart of the brooder, is reliable and well made. This controls your temperature which is of vital impor- tance. See that the hover is con- structed for convenient cleaning. It will aid you in keeping your temper as well ag keeping the house clean. See that it holds enough coal to last overnight during windy weather. Remember March is a windy month THE SUFFRAGETTE | ~ Poultry News and Hints -- generally and that is when you will be using your brooder stove. Setting Up The Stove A set of instructions are gener- ally given you with each brooder stove and it is best to read them over two or three times before at- tempting to put the stove up. See that you have the stove pipe well insulated where it passes througn the roof to prevent five. Place the stove so that the coal and ash dsor face the brooder house door you will then not have to walk around the brooder stove every time you fix the fire. By looking after small details of this nature you will take a lot of the drudgery out of your chores. Gettngg Ready Yor The Chicks The brooder stove should be run- ning from 24 to 48 hours prior to placing the chicks in the brooder house. To see that it is operating properly and warm up the house thoroughly. For the first week or 10 days it is best to place a circle of beaver board or stiff cardboard around the stove about two to three feet from the edge of the hover. This will prevent the chicks getting too far away from the stove, stop corner crowding and prevent floor draughts. Beaver board generally comes in four foot widths and you can rip it down the middle with a sharp saw making two pieces two foot wide each, which is about the ideal height for this purpose. When the chicks are about ten days old this can be placed back into the corners of the house or removed altogether and pieces of one inch mesh poultry netting put across the corners to nrevent the chicks from crowding into them. For litter I prefer peat moss, It requires changing only every month or six weeks and makes a wonderful fertilizer when taken out of the brooder house. It absorbs the droppings and no matter how long it is left in is always dry. You will find it a lot cheaper than straw. Place a little sand on the floor un- der the litter and you will find it a lot easier to clean the floor when cleaning out. Next week I will con- tinue with brooding as there is a' lot of ground to cover and 'it re- quires a lot of space even when only making a brief survey. Send in your questions on this article or any- thing you are doubtful on regarding vour own flock and I will do my best to help you out.
