Frank Chap- nell, representing the General Motors of Canada, Limited .at the mass meeting held in King Street Church the other night, to the effect that all bodies for McLaughlin- Buick automobiles would in future be made in Oshawa, is one of the happiest industrial announcements it has been possible to make for some time. It means that the effect of the government's policy in fixing the discount rates on automobiles for duty purposes is showing its effect on the iocal plant, for it is a matter of common know- ledge that up to the present most of these 'bodies have been imported, and only as- sembly work done here. Naturally, this extension of manufactur- ing operations at the Oshawa plant of Gen- eral Motors of Canada, Limited, should mean employment for the automobile work- ers, who have found conditions hard for the last year or two. The McLaughlin- Buick line of cars has been popular in Can- ada, and the knowledge that the bodies are now to be made here is quite likely to have a stimulating effect on their sales, since Canadians are now beginning to show more patriotism in their buying than they did in the years of prosperity. This does not only mean more employ- ment at the plant of the General Motors of Canada, but also in those plants which sup- ply parts and trimmings for the bodies which are built here. Seme of these plants are located in Oshawa, and it will be en- couraging for them to know that there is a possibility of increasing their output as a result of this decision. The further statement by Col. Chappell that the company expects to build more cars and make more parts in Oshawa is also welcome, and while the future will decide whether this prediction comes true, there are some indications that a good seagon lies ahead of the automobile manufacturers, not the least important being the fact that used car stocks are down to an unusually low level, and that replacement of cars, in thousands of cases, has been deferred for much longer than is usually the case. Every citizen of Oshawa, knowing how much the community depends on the Gen- eral Motors of Canada, Limited, will be pleased with the announcements which were made, and will join in wishing that the hopes which have been expressed will all be justified in the near future. Not All Depression In view of the general opinions that in- dustry in Oshawa is all suffering from de- pression, the article which appears in to- day's issue of The Times with reference to the activities of the Williams Piano Com- pany is decidedly encouraging. Here is one "local industry which is making a supstan- : "tial contribution to the employment of men and women in Oshawa, and which is, to all intents and purposes, not suffering from i: "any of the effects of depression, Its manage- . ment has gone ahead, seeking new outlets ~ necessa 25 3 i the present time, on the number of peo- it for its energies, and going after business an 'energetic 'and business-like way. As ® result, its men are working overtime in an effort to make production balance up with orders, and a new night shift is being found ry. This bears out the theory that much of the depression exists only in the minds of people." Because there are so many unem- ployed laborers in the city, there is a mis- taken idea that all business i8 bad. The Williams Piano Company experience proves "conclusively that this is not the case. In order to make conditions better, it is neces- sary for more people to do what the Wil- liams Piano Company customers are doing, ~buy more of the products of Canadian industries--and when that spirit becomes | more general, prosperity will return almost rm ht. Too much stress is being laid, e who are out of work. Let us, for a ge, consider the number of people who 'are in employment, and take hope from s fact that the number who are working and earning 'wages, and who are able to + ih : money, is many times in excess of The mamber of unemployed. The Goodwill Mass Meeting The goodwill mass meeting which was held in King Street United Church was worth while shat it/ provided an oppor- expression of some interest- 'the present economic condi- tions from various important angles. Most important of all, of course, was the state- ments made by the representative of the General Motors of Canada, Limited, since they gave some concrete and practical hope for the future. In addition to these, how- ever, some good seed was sown, and the way paved for a continuance of efforts to produce better conditions in the community. We are of the opinion, however, that there is a further opportunity for service in improving local conditions. A few days ago we suggested that this meeting might provide an opportunity for the, organiza- tion of a local employment council. This was not, however, considered, although it affords a practical means of making an in- tensive study of the situation, and the re- quirements for its solution. The further thought is suggested, however, that Wed- nesday night's meeting might be taken as a jumpi ff point for further activities of this kind in the future. It would be useful and helpful to have an open public forum established for the discussion of just such questions as were placed before the meeting, and to have it meet at regular in- tervals throughout the winter months. A public forum of this character might prove a breeding-place for fruitful ideas for the betterment of local conditions, and from it might evolve such an organization as we have suggested. This proposal is at least worth a trial, and the church ¢an render a distinct service to the community by spon- soring it. Editorial Notes What is the use of giving a city council committee power to act when it has to re- port back to the council and secure its sanc- tion before it can act? Another new automobile is being put on the market in Detroit. What we would like to see is a greater demand and sale for those lines already on the market, and par- ticularly those which are made in Oshawa. It is not often that school children are interested in conventions, but they are deep ly interested in the convention of the tea- chers, since it provides them with two days of holidays. Our Mayor, Mr. Walker, seems to find great favor in France. If any Latin nation would like him for its ruler, offers for his services. would be carefully considered in New York and probably accepted.--E. S. Martin, in Life. | Other Editor's Comments BAD MANNERS FOR ALL (Nation, New York) Time was when rudeness was the privilege of the upper classes. But democracy has triumphed and we now have bad manners for all, Perhaps it is human nature, or perhaps it is only human nature of the twentieth century, but everybody seems to have a deep lying grudge which he is ready to work off upon the first helpless victim. Bad manners are sufficiently unpleasant even if they are not a sign of danger, and it is odd how little they are resentcd--how complacently Americans accept them from even the pettiest of officials. Is there, for example, any real reason why a traffic policeman should swear at his vic- tims? Most motorists do not seem to mind. In fact, they boast of the soft words with which they have succeeded in turning away wrath; millionaires in Rolls Royces as well as clerks in Fords accept language which no seli-respecting man ought to endure. Probably when they get downtown they kick the office boy in order to relieve their feel- ings, but it might be just as well if some commis- sioner of police were to enforce an order for good manners. If he can not do that, why should we suppose that he is capable of controlling his force, in even ore important respects?

First Aviator--You're a skywriter, ch? By the way, why do you always smoke cigars? Second Aviator--That's what I make the peri- ods with.

In most cases nobody cheers them or is at hand to encourage them but the real hero of life is he who has the courage to do right. It takes the most courageous man, he affirmed, to live a christian life. It requires courage to tell the truth kindly and lovingly and do ethe right thing by our friends. While that man 1s courageous who stands by his convictions. Generous people are another type we like, asserted the speaker, who said that plenty of opportunities are being offered because of the great demands of the present day, which allowed for greater sacrifices. The church would be better if there were more self sacrifice, he main- tained, but generosity does not stop at money as it is the cheapest thing many people have. The man who is looked up to is he who never spong- es on his feHows and plays the game. He who sponges on others and never pays is soon found out, It pays to be generous asserted Dr, Dougall. The appreciation of the Brother- hood to Dr. Dougall was expressed by Rev, E. Harston, who stated that the very things that the speaker had been telling his audience were those practised by him in every day life. The Brotherhood had been a great help in the work of the Church during the last year, he stat- ed and would be an even greater aid in the future. OLD SKIPPER HAD STIRRING TINE Captain John Dowdy Prob- ably Last of Skippers of Famous Sea-Clipper Races London. sea at the age of 13, later com- manded the Kalsow, a fine racing clipper rushing the new season's tea from Foochow to London, and | finished in command of a Union- Castle liner is the romantic story of the life of Captain John Dow- dy, of Hunstanton, Norfolk, who claims to be the last of the skip- pers engaged in the tea clipper races of 60 years ago. He has just celebrated his 85th birthday. During his many years on the sea he has encountered many har- rowing experiences, one of which stands out as a most heroic effort, He was first officer of the *'Seca- gull," when ghe struck a reef in the Maldive Group of Islands in the Indian Ocean and was wreck- ed. The crew reached an island, but starvation threatened the whole ship's company and Dowdy volunteered to reach Point de Galle (Ceylon), some 400 miles distant, in an open boat to bring help. It took him four days to complete the journey in bad wea- ther but he returned with a steamer and rescued his ship- mates. Later when he was commanding the "Ada," he narrowly escaped capture by cannibals when his ship struck a reef, Sixteen boats of hostile savages set out from an island and were about to board his ship, when the-vessel was re- floated and steamed away. At the time he started his sea- faring career an able seaman was paid $10.24 a month or 40c. a day, Many of his greatest thrills were experienced in the ocean tea ices, He, with his brothers, Jo- ioph and Samuel, each command- ed racing clippers, and bonuses were awarded for the first ship reaching London with the new season's tea. They made quite a reputation for themselves, and the then Prince of Wales invited | them to dinner at the Fishmon- ger's Hall. His own great asset is punc- tuality. He demonstrated this when at Cape Town, three foreign diplomats, who had visited Gov- ernment House, stayed talking on the quay and did not go aboard when requested. Orders were given to withdraw the gangway. The diplomats tried to jump en board and missed and were seen 'struggling in the water. When queried by 8ir Donald Currie as to what he meant by nearly growning three important foreigners, and reminding him that it was an international and extremely grave affair Captain Dowdy replied: "You said the mails were not to be delayed on any account, and my ship does not wait for debates to end." HOW TO CROWD CHURCH London. =-- The curate won, 6---2, 6=--2, and as a result there were twice as many people as usual at a service at St, Paul's Mission Church, Southgate, on a recent Sunday evening. The cu- rate, Rev. F. M, Eagles, had chal- lenged any club member to a ten- nis match on condition that if he won members of thé losing club should attend a service. St. An- drew's Church Club accepted, and a8 their representative A. Mat thews, was beaten (in two straight sets), nearly 20 members attended the service. Mr, Eagles preached on 'How to Keep Sunday." In addition to the club members, there were quite a lot of fresh faces there. "I am quite willing to play a member of any other club on the same terms," "Mr. Eagles sald afterwards. ~-How he ran away to | MANCHESTER (Mrs, E. L.
