PAGE SIX THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, MAY 20, 1931 City Sealer Defends Housewives Of Chicago From Mean Cheater Chicago, May 20--(U. P.)--City Sealer Joe Grein, accompanied by a deputation of newsna~-~ photogra- phers, is stalking through Chicago's streets in search of "Low, mean, skulking cheaters of housewives and children." Hardly had he started before Grein came upon peddler Sam Green selling a peck of potatoes to 12-year-old Francis Gazbek, "He's 'holding his hand on the scale," whispered Grein to his co- norts. "Arrest him." So they pounced upon peddler Green, found that he had cheated Francis by two and one halt' pounds, and trundled him off to the jail to stand trial on four charges, "These low, mean, skulking cheat- ers of housewives and children have got to quit," Grein proclaimed, while the picture makers grouped him, Francis, a few other children, the trick scales, and peddler Greca's horse. "As for reports that I'm going to look into the speakeasy: situation," continued Grein, "and see whether Al Capone is cheating his customers with half empty beer barrels, that: all wrong, "I haven't got much svmpathv for the suckers who pay 25 cents a stein for the slop that's sold as beer. And anyway I'm pretty busy protecting the housewives and chil- dren." City Sealer Grein, the unoflicial mayor of Randolph street and one time partner in the firm of J. Pabls and J. Grein, purveyors of malt, hops and bottle caps, took over the city sealer's job without saiary at Cermak, the request of Mavor Anton J "And it's an important job, too," explained Grein. "These heavy- handed grocers and peddlers take a bigger toil yearly from our citi- zens than all the Capones in Chi- cago." Furniture Makers | - Prepare for Recovery Toronto, Ont., May 20. -- An international exchange of ideas pointing towards the 1931 sum- mer furniture markets as a turn- ing point for better business con- ditions in Canada and the United States, is the aim of the conven- tions of the two foremost furni- ture manufacturing associations in these two countries here this week. The National Association of Furniture Manufacturers, repre- sentative of the leading furniture makers in the Uhited States, will meet here May 20-21-22. The Furniture Manufacturers Associ- ation of Canada will hold its ses- sions on May 21 and on the fol- lowing day will participate in the conferences and discussions of the visiting association. "Lack of united effort and mutual understanding of aims have prevented the furniture in- dustry from making an earlier start toward an upward trend,' Dr, A. P. Haake, Chicago, direc- tor of the association in the Unit- ed States, said in an advance mes- sage received here today. "We hope to outline some definite sound policies at Toronto which, if followed during the rest ol the year, will see a turn for the bet- ter. This should be noticeahle at the mid-season 1931 markets which are heing held in May and June in various manufacturing centres in the United States." The old economic rule of sup- ply and demand and how it should operate to meet present business ¢ondftions will be one of the principal subjects to be dis- cussed. Production at this time should follow orders rather than a re- versal of this practice insofar as manufacturers are able to operate on this basis," said Dr. Haake. "The individual manufacturer must work out his own produc- tion schedule but during present conditions he must keep in closer touch with trade demands. "The over-production evil will be corrected only when the indi- vidual learns to gauge his future production more accurately to demand." Another evil in the industry which must be corrected, or. Haake said, is bad credits. He complimented the Canadian Asso- ciation for the establishment of its 'efficient credit system which has effected 'considerable savings to its membership since 1917. "We expect o get some valu- able information from members in the Canadian Association," Dr. Haake said. Our problems are very similar. to theirs and an exchange of views on various pro- blems will be mutually beneficial. We intend to make a study of the Canadian credit system which we understand has worked out zo well since its establishment in 1917." A credit clinic will be held on May 22 at which members of the two associations will attend. A general discussion of credits and other problems will be held on that day. Steps to be taken in effecting closer co-operation among manu- facturers will be discussed at the general session on Friday by .». Irving 8S. Paull, New York, press dent of the Institute of Carpet manufacturers of America, Inc. His subject will be "What We Can Do for Each Other and How." A sales clinic will he conduct- ed for the benefit of the associa- tion members by Bernard C. Jack- way, Chicago, merchandising di- rector of the National Home Fur- nishings Programme, who will lead a discussion at noon on the same day on a subject of vital im- portance to all manufacturers: '""What the Manufacturer Can Do For the Retail Dealer." This will be a discussicn of practical suggestions which the manufacturers can immediately apply to exploiting that field of the industry's activities where the interests of manufacturer and re- tailer overlap. Great Britain, with a decrease oi 10 per cent, and Japan, with 1.6 per cent., are the only principal Powcrs showing a decrease in military ex- penditure in 1930, as compared with 1924.

Maine Still Attracts Thousands of Tourists Maine, the vacation State and Mecca of tourists from all over Canada and the United States, will be more popular than ever this year, if forecasts made by tourist traffic prophets come frue. The stern, rugged coast of this New England state holds an at- traction for visitors not equal- led by many summer resorts. York Beach, York Harbor, Long Beach, Ogunquit, Wells Beach, Kennebunkport 2nd finally Old Orchard, the Atlantic City of the north, all welcome the vacation spender. To discrimin- ate between these beaches of the lower Maine shore is. difficult. Each has a definite attraction of its own. Ogunquit clings to a certain definite literary and ar- tistic type of folk; York Harbor has a dazzling reputation for so- cial exclusiveness; Kennebunk- port aims at a sort of new smart- ness all its own, Old Orchard is democratic; frankly and pains- takingly so.
