The average man who sits on a » city council, no matter how efficient he may Spe in his own occupation or profession, eannot be expected to have a technical ' knowledge of the mechanics or chemistry = of various methods of sewage disposal. "hat is essentially an engineering problem, and only qualified engineers, or sanitation experts can be expected to speak with auth- ority on such a subject. : It is most disconcerting to the city coun- 'Zell, just when it was ready to go ahead : with an activated sludge disposal plant, to have another type of plant offered, at a hh es hi PT TE ol _ price less than half of the other. Naturally the council wants to save the city's money as much as possible, but the question which arises is whether the second type of plant suggested will give satisfactory results, whether it is the type of plant that Oshawa, which empties its sewage into Lake Ontario, should have. The council cannot be expected to answer that question. Naturally, it turns to the ncial department of health, which issued the mandatory order that a pla should be built. The council has the right to look to that body for leadership and advice. The engineers and experts of that department are supposed to know all about these plants, and to be in a position to recommend what type of plant is best for any particular municipality. : We would suggest that the council put the matter right before the department of health, with a straight question as to which 'type of plant the city should have. It should be asked point blank if the second type of plant offered, for $200,000 would give satisfactory results. On the answer the city council could base its decision, feel- ing that it was following impartial and un- biased advice. That is the only sensible way of dealing with the situation, and if the department of health is to be any value whatsoever to municipalities with problems of this type, it should be ready to give an _.inequivocal and definite answer. A Worth-while Industsy I = On Christmas Eve of last year, the first © sod was turned for the plant of the Coulter - © Manufacturing Company. A few months i tion began.

The Cemetery Act Dr. Kaiser of this city has good reason fo be well satisfied with the fact that On- tario's new Cemetery Act is at last in eration. For some ten years, he has been , leading spirit " a movement io have e ' The Oshawa city council is now all at sea . The Act which has now been made opera- tive is intended to accomplish all that Dr, Kaiser, and his colleagues have been fight~ ing for during these years. It aims at a clean-up of neglected burial grounds, and their maintenance in perpetuity in a tidy and beautiful condition. This is the least that can be done to respect the memories of those who lie in them, It is to be hoped, as Dr. Kaiser suggested in an interview with The Times, that the Act will be carried out with some degree of certainty It is easy for parliament and legislatiires to put laws on the statue books, but there are many occasions on which such Jaws are not observed as they ought to be. In this case, however, the people of Ontario will have a sympathetic attitude towards the new Act, and will be willing to co-oper- ate to see that it is effectively carried out. To Dr. Kaiser and his colleagues should go out the thanks of all those who are inter- ested in the preservation of old burial grounds in a state befitting the character of such placés, and these thanks might well take the form of a whole-hearted effort to carry out the law. Editorial Notes Buy and wear a poppy--tomorrow, Mayor Marks has set a splendid lead to others in donating the whole of one night's proceeds at his theatre to the Welfare Fund. Those whose coal bins are still empty will be regretting that they did not secure their winter's supply before the price took a jump. Wheat is still going up. A month ago, eighty cent wheat would have seemed like a wonderful dream. Today it is almost a reality. The plans whic! are being made for the observance of Remembrance Day in Osh- awa should make it a very impressive occa- sion, whether it is generally observed as a public holiday or not. Rt. Hon. J. H, Thomas is going to make another visit to Canada. We hope it will hear more fruit than his last visit, It is too much to expect aldermen to be sanitary engineers in addition to all the other functions they have to perform, It appears that the plan. of paying men for their work by giving them relief orders has the approval of the provincial govern- ment. That, however, does not alter the fact that the principle of the thing is all wrong. Other Editor's Comments TARIFFS AND EMPIRE : (Toronto Telegram) Premier Bennett is among those who emerge from the English elections with increased prestige. When he talked Imperial preferences at the last Economic' Conference it was a hostile British Gov- ernment, a Government wedded to the fetish of Free Trade. Today all is changed. The new Gov- ernment is practically committed to a continuance of the conference at Ottawa, Tariffs were so en- twined with the battle against Socialism that they are sure to be a part of the new Government's policy. And tariffs are the foundation on which Empire preferences must be built MR. BENNETT'S WORD (Windsor Border Cities Star) (Mr, Bennett is accused by the Liberal press of not carrying out his promises.) It is trué that there are some items on the promise list that have not yet been carried out, hut certainly this is not the Prime Minister's fault. . He is working day and night to serve the people of Canada, and to carry out his promises. He has made a genuine start: on a great many projects. His Government has passed millions in votes for unemployment relief. He has increased the tariff, as he promised to do. He is trying his best to serve the people of Capada, We submit that no man can do more than that, | BITS OF HUMOR POOR BAKER _ Sandy came home from work one day and found his wife crying bitterly, Sandy--"What are vou crying for, Jean?" ol Jean--"The baker has been here and I canna nay im. 3 Sandy--"It's nae vou that should be cryi i should be the baker." a i THE EARLY BIRD Si met Thomson in the street carrying his haby, Smith--"Hello, Thomson, taking him to be chris- tened ?"

The Apple is King Ontario, Northumberland and Durham County Apple Growers had wonderful crops, and are hopeful of profit- able markets to bring them handsome cash returns, H agreed that where the aggregate ARTICLE NO. 8 Just as the western grain- grower lives in dread of being bhafied out, so the apple-grower in this section of the province dreads the coming of hail, We pad an interesting talk on this subject with Fred Hoare, one of the largest apple growers of the Bowmanville district, His or- chard this year was hit by a hail storm, and although his crop turned out splendidly, and he had a bumper production of ap- ples that looked just as good as are to he seen anywhere, yet his activities in marketing are re- stricted just because of the fact that a hail storm passed over the orchard, "In one minute," smd Mr, iloare, *'I saw the value of my upple crop reduced by some $1, 260 to $1,500, [I will sell my ap- p'es all right, because they are just as good as anyone could want to buy, but 1 am barred trom selling them as No, 1 fruit," Inconsistency in Act The situation, sald Mr. Hoare, arose from a peculiar inconsist- ency in the Pure Food Act of Canada, This act says that all epples from an orchard, "over which hail has passed," must be classed as culls, In former years this was not so bad, but this year the regulations under the act were made more severe, and an order promulgated that no cull apples could be sold, This, nat- urally, placed the man over whose orchard hail had passed in the position that all his apples must be classed as culls, and culls of course, could not be sold, Mr. Hoare however, l08t no time in securing a ruling as to his crop, and this ruling, in all probability, will be incorporated in the Act, He went to Ottawa, and showed samples of his ap- ples, The officials who inspected them admitted that there was no intention of keeping such splen- did fruit off the market, and size of all the hail-pecks on an apple did not exceed one half- inch square, that apple could be packed and sold under the domes- tic grade, Since only a very small percentage of Mr, Hoare's apple have hall pecks on them, and then only to a minute degree, this enabled him to pack his apples as domestics, and secure a good market for them, Mr, Hoare's orchard produced a splendid crop this year, estv | wated at 2,600 barrels, including 500 barrels of snow and between 200 and 500 barrels of Mcintosh Reds. He had been able, he said, to secure a good market in Tor- | onto, and had no difficulty . In seliing his fruit, His winter varieties, however, are being stored. In his barn he has stored away 1,000 barrels of apples, ready for the improved market which is expected to develop ear- ly in the coming year, In his cellar he has seventy more bar- rels of cholce Spies. These Spies, too, were wonderful, We hrought home a barrel of them for winter use and every apple in the bar- rel was perfect and of splendid size. Apple Men Fortunate "The farmer who has a good apple crop this year, and most of them have," said Mr. Hoare, does not need to worry, 1 have my barn filled with apples and it pays a great deal better than having it filled with livestock." Mr. Hoare is a partner in the Giibson Fruit House, of which we wrote the other day, and he con- | sidered it the centre of the apple shipping activities of this distriet, He was also making some use of the government cold storage warehouse at Brighton, where thousands of barrels of apples are being stored for the winter, The need of a cold storage plant for the Bowmanville dis- trict was voiced by more than one grower and shipper, and in 109-13 WEST 45th STREET NEW YORK In the heart of Times Square Three to Five Minutes to All WE ED TRAVELING WITHOUT Escamy Rooms with running or cng Sold ru Single $3.00 . 92.25 . 82.50 Foun di + 83.50. 94.00 ooms Single 82.50 + 83.00 000 Double $4.00 - 84.50 . 85.00 ™ A PARTY FOR NEXT WEEKEND. , Cheerful, comfortable rooms, Tasty food, Restful surroundings PLENTY OF CURB PARKING SPACE GARAGE ONE MINUTE WALK 50 R ates jo i i $3.00 HOTEL WAVERLEY Spadine Avenue ond College Stem os Woe fon folds + oo IT IS DOUBTFUL: IF this connection it is interesting to note that W, H, Gibson has al- ready secured the approval of the government for the construction of 8 cold storage plant at their shipping centre.

One such group was met in the orchard of H. Gaud, just north of Bowman- ville. In this, orchard, another heavy crop was grown, cases, however, the packers said, the large number of apples on trees had detracted from the size, although the apples being packed | were beautiful specimens, From six to elght men had been work- | n% for a few weeks in this or- | chard, packing anywhere from 40 to 60 barrels of apples a day, according to the variety and qual- ity, The orchard was expected to produce from 500 to 600 bar- In some | A LEGAL DEPOSITARY for TRUST FUNDS KING AND VICTORIA 878,, TORONTO 23 SIMCOE 87. N., OSHAWA rela of apples, and a large quan- | tity was being shipped to Mon- treal buyers for the export mar- ket, Apples which had been sold in » local way, had brought from £2.00 to $2.60 a barrel, while Mr, (jaud did some business in selling cpples in hampers to the local merchants, Shipping to Lindsay In the orchard of F. Squires and Sons, another group of pick- ers was at work, finishing up the job of cleaning out the. trees, From this orchard Starks and Ben Davis apples were being stor- ed for sale later in the winter, Cne interesting fact mentioned here was that one hundred bar- rels of apples had just been ship- ped to Lindsay for the weltare organization of that town, these having been sold, for the purpose of distribution to needy families, at & special reduced price, Shipping to North Earl E, Gifford, ton road, a few miles from Osh- uwda, was also found at work in his orchard. His picking acking crew of six to eight men nd just completed the tagk of icking a fine crop of 500 bay s of apples, mostly Daldwins, pies, McIntosh Reds, Russets and Tallman Bwects, He had found a good demand for his fruit, some of it being shipped to the gold mining areas of North- ern Ontario, and most of the bal- | 7nee being placed in storage for future sale, James Stainton, a mile or two farther east on the same road, had a wonderful lot of beautiful- y-rolored Ben Davis apples still on the trees, with a gang hard nt work pleking and packing them, He reported that the mar- ker was rather dull, but that he had been able to sell Starks for 52 00 to $2.25 a barrel and Sples 't $3.00 to $3.50 a barrel. He, too, had found a good market in Northern Ontario, several truck- loads having heen shipped to Ori'lla for distribution to. points firiher north, Is Cheerful J. H. Pascoe, another grower east of Taunton, reported that he had had fairly good success tm alsposing of his apple crop, He had sold all his McIntosh Reds and had secured an average of £500 a barrel for them, right in. the orchard, He was selling apples all the time, and, in fact, only Spies and Baldwins were loft to be sold in the future. He felt quite cheerful about the whele apple situation, and look- ed upon his orchard as a means of bringing in a nice cash income, In all, he had harvested between 180 and 200 barrels, and all of his apples were of excellent qual- ity. (Another article on the apple sit- uation in this district will appear in tomorrow's issue of The Times.) DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK E. P, CLARKE, EDITOR OF THE RIVERSIDE (CALIFORNIA) DAILY PRESS, SAYS: THAT one of the most interest- ing development in the population of the country ror the last decade was the tendency of the big cities to absorb the suburban commun- ities, Los Angeles has set the pace in this matter, but all over the coun- try scores of flourishing cities that appeared in the census re- turns of 1920 were not listed in the 1930 census. They have been annexed to the great metropoli- tan centers of population. The change is of doubtful value. In many respects a city of from 5,000 to 30,000 population is an ideal community, and the ideal- ism and individuality are lost when such a community is ab- sorbed by one of the great cities. The movement for annexation continues, and, unless it is resist. od by the gmaller cities, the pres- ont decade will see the disappear. ance of scores more of cities that now have an established fame of their own.

ALLOWANCES FOR NURSES REDUCED Edmonton i Hospital Cuts Scale of Payments in Half Edmonton, Alta,--By a decisive majority, the hospital board re- jected a motion that the allow- ances to nurses in training be cut fn half in the contracts which would be offered in future to girls entering the Royal Alexandra for training. The scale of allowances propos- ed provided no payment for the probation period of four months, $6 a month for the next eight months, A7.60 a month for the sec- ond year, and $10 a month for the third year, The chairman pointed out that eventually this new scale would effect 1560 nurses in train- ing and save approximately $1,000 a month, Those speaking against the motion concluded that the present allowances to the girls are little enough in compensation for the work which they do, that a cut would make it impossible for many girls to go through for the nursing profession and that the present rate attracted the best type of girls and permitted a care- ful selection of novices resulting in increased efficiency, FORMER COMMUNITY CENTRE IS PASSING Toronto.~At one time a centre of social activity, when the resi- dents of what was then known of as York were accustomed to gath- er around its open fireplaces to discuss the events of the progres- sive little community, the old dwelling house on Duke St., has at last been placed in the hands of the wreckers, One of the oldest landmarks in Toronto * situated near the first parliament bulld- ings, the house until this spring has been constantly inhabited Workmen engaged in tearing down the building recently, found it to be just as sound in construc- tion as the day when it was first opened by its proud owner, The walls which are 18 inches in thickness, are made of stone from the Island, On each floor are large open fireplaces which in ear- ly days served hoth for cooking and means of heating, Each of these is equipped with brick ovens, and until recently were in- tact despite the fact that they had been out of use for many years.
