"MONDAY, NOVEMBER 23rd, 1931 A Brighter Atmosphere 1t is remarkable to note the difference In the atmosphere of Oshawa compared with what it was a few short weeks ago. There is little of pessimism in the air now. In its has come a distinct feeling of opti- mism, based on an assurance that the worst of the hard times is definitely over, and that much better days are in store in the near future. One finds this new spirit everywhere, It is found amongst factory employees who are back at work, and have some prospect of employment for an indefinite period. One finds it in the ranks of those who, unem- ployed for months, are now being given employment, even although it is only for a week at a time, through the city's relief projects. One finds it among business men, who have seen their returns grow in the last few weeks as the city's payrolls have taken a step upwards. This change in outlook may only be psychological, but it is important. We believe it is based on sound observation of conditions, and that it has been created because people can see for themselves that conditions are improving. We have a long way to go before we return fo the days of real prosperity, but there seems to be a wing feeling that we are well on our way back, with what looks like a clear road ahead. . The importance of this new feeling of restored confidence lies in the fact that it may persuade those who have been hoarding - their money to loosen up their purse-strings and put it back into circulation by the purchase of goods. The Christmas season is approaching, too, and it has been asserted by one of Oshawa's outstanding industrial leaders that this will be the brightest 3 i Christmas Oshawa has known in several ____years. One can only hope that this predic- tion, made some months ago, will come true, and that it will bring about a revival of trade which will, in due time, have its effect on industry and make conditions brighter all the way around. 1t is good to find the spirit of optimism returning. We need it in full measure. And if it can be translated into action, in the form of more general buying than has been the case in the last year or two, it will 'perform a practical service of much benefit to the community and the country as a whole. ; The National Service Loan _ The response by-the people of Canada to the National Service Loan issue, which is "heing made today, will be awaited with much interest. This loan is being offered to the people of Canada by the government as a means of investment in the develop- | "ment of the country. The proceeds of the loan are being used in works of a national # character, instituted both to provide employ- ment and to carry on the further develop- _ ment of the country. And since it is backed Worthy of Honor At the closing of the session of the county council the other day, the members of the council honored the warden, Reeve John Ross of East Whitby, by presenting him with a gold watch. This honor was well deserved. Any man who reaches the war- den's chair of a cpunty =o important as the county of Ontario, must have behind him a long record of public service. The warden- ship is a goal which is reached only after a long apprenticeship in public office, and in this case, Warden Ross has served that apprenticeship faithfully. : As a councillor of thé township of East Whitby, graduating through the deputy- reeveship to become reeve, he has served his native township well. In the higher councils of the county of Ontario, he gave his ripe experience and sound judgment for a number of years before he was elected to the chair of warden. And, as warden, he has given excellent leadership, and has presided over the sessions with that tact and judgment which have characterized all his public work. Warden Ross is well worthy of the honor which his colleagues bestowed on him, and on passing out of the office he has held this year, he carries with him the good wishes of a large circle of friends and admirers. Editorial Notes One begins to wonder if the squabble over the filtration plant contract is something in the nature of a pre-election bubble. The chief thing about this project, after all, is that it will put a large number of men to work, and, at the same time, provide a waterworks unit that is badly needed. The national service loan provides an excellent opportunity for citizens of Canada to perform an act of national service. The Welfare Fund keeps growing, and it would not be surprising to find it exceed 835.000 before it is finally closed. Saturday's tag day who could only give nickels and dimes were anxious" to share--and be glad they could. After Saturday's game, the Blue Devils and their supporters lived up to the team's name, Other Editor's Comments THE LEAGUE AND MANCHURIA (Hong Kong Press) It is no good calling on the League of Nations "to enforce a settlement." The League provides machinery for investigating disputes and dealing with them by court-of-law process, But the League has not force with which to impose its decisions That is a matter for the member nations of the League. No Power is going to intervene on behalf of China unless such action has a chance of succes: and is, from a material and moral point of view, worth undertaking. Arc either of those conditions fulfilled in the case of any Power within or without the League? Would Russia engage in a hopeless battle? Will the United States really risk the lo of the Philippines and a fight at enormous strateg disadvantage? Can we expect such a crusade in the twentieth (or any other) century? These are soni of the facts of a situation where military power i: a dominating factor, THE INDIAN PROBLEM (Calcutta Englishman) The first essential step towards a settlement is for Mr. Gandhi and his party to drop the nidiculou pose that they represent all India. The discussion of the last ten days have proved to the world that the Congress represents no more than a large sec- tion of the Hindu population and that its tenets are feared and hated by every other community in the land, The communal problem today is not a Hindu- Muslim affair; it is the result of the revélt of every other community against the attempt to replace the good government of a British bureaucracy by the Bad government of a Brahmin oligarchy. BITS OF HUMOR Mother: "What did I say 1'd do to you if you showed that those by C. H. Tuck, Opt. D (Copyright, 1928) "ith SIGHT SAVING Then again perhaps some one says that they don't charge for examination and you go to get your eyes tested knowing that you re getting the best examination n the country all for nothing. Now don't be put out or irritated if the examiner has to leave you for a few minutes to pay the scrub-woman for cleaning the of- fice. Her profession must be con- sidered and he could not lower her dignity by permitting her to wait he must pay her even though he does work for nothing himself. Please consider the above as representing certain conditions and ask yourself these questions in the interest of optometry, sight saving and eyesight comnser- vation, can we do the best for others when the best is advertis- ed free? Is the best expected for nothing? After all the examina- tion is the foundation for the cor- rection and is what earns us our reputation, what brings others to us. Every profession of course has its renegades but they do not generally establish themselves in the hearts of any community, they only soar so high and no higher. (Continued next week) "Of course, I don't wish to put any obstacle in the way of your getting married," a mistress sald to her servant: "but I wish It wer® possible for you to postpone it yn- til I get another maid." "Well, mum," Mary nn replied, *'I 'ardly think IT know 'im well enough to arsk 'fm to put it off !" These days there is much discus- sion on traffic and traffic control and we are of the opinion that too much cannot be written in respect to the vy of offenses made by many drivers of automobiles, and too much attention cannot be given to many offenses that are committed with appalling contempt of the laws. These are the people against whom the police should take action with heavy hand and not be so severe with those who offend against some rules in a frenzied endeavor to avert extinction at the hands of some maniac drivers, By all means and on every occa- sion should the police enforce the regulations laid down, but for the love of Mike, if a chance there is to save his life, let a man take it, though it may not happen to be on the right side of the road. In such circumstances one cannot afford to observe the rules. AFTER ALL, THE AVERAGE SANE DRIVER IN FULL CON- TROL OF HIS CAR WON'T OF- TEN COME TO HARM, BUT THE MANIAC DRIVER IS THE GREATEST MENACE TO HIM- SELF AND OTHERS UNTIL HE IS CAUGHT AND LOCKED UP. "You seemed to be very dis- courteops to that lady who just left the store," said the floorwalk- er reprovingly. "Oh, that was my wife, sir," returned the salesman. "We are celebrating our maid's jubilee today." "Has she been with years?' "No, she is the 25th we have had this year." you 25 SUN'S ECLIPSE SEEN IN MONTREAL Scientists From Many Sec- tions of America Will Gather There : ---------- Montreal--The total eclipse of the sun, which will take place in the Province of Quebec on August 31, 1932, was discussed at a meeting of scientists held at McGill Uni- versity last night and committees were appointed to Jaydle the work preparatory to recording the rare henomenon, which so far as is nown, has never been seen in Montreal before, It will not reap- pear for well over 100 years, The tota; eclipse will be visible for only a few seconds, the edge of totality Dassini through the vic- inity of estmount Park, The Path of the eclipse stretches down from the Hudson Bay through Que- bec and out to the Atlantic Ocean in the vicinity of Boston. Dr. A. N. Shaw of McGill Univer- sity who is in charge of the arrange- ments, stated that the total eclipse will start about 324 p.m. August 31, and the duration will be approxi- mately 102 seconds. Scientists will be here from many Jarts of the world to study the ef- ect of the eclipse on radio trans- mission research work. The fading problems may be better understood when data collected during the eclipse is digested, The verifica- tion of the relativity theory also will be of major importance to scientific bodies. Heading the 'expeditions which will come to Quebec to observe the eclipse is one representing the Roy- al Astronomical Society of England. One division of the society will go to the Eastern Townships and an- other will work with McGill scien- tists in the Macdonald Physics Building, Parties from Ottawa and Toronto will make observations in the path of the shadow as it passes through Quebec, Aerial observations \will be made for the first time. afety Deposit Boxes For the sum of $3.00 and up per annum, you can rent a box in our modem Safety Deposit Vault, and place therein your Bends, Stocks, Mortgages, Deeds, Insurance Policies Jewellery and other valuables, where they will be protected against fire, theft and misplacement. : We invite you to call and personally inspect our safekeeping facilities: CANADA IAN avn SAVINGS COMPANY 23 Simcoe Street North Established' 1684 OSHAWA Head Office TORONTO ASSETS .OVERLTWELVEYMILLIONS rr "William," said Willlam's wife as he settled down for his after- noon smoke.
