Community Spirit Eg A-------------- of the most dififeult things to build and maintain in a rapidly-growing city | community spirit. is particularly when large industrial corporations, trolled otitside the community, and with gecutive heads who have no original in best in the community, are dominating betors. Under such conditions, there is a ok of that fine fellowship of old-time ends.

Yet it is in a ¢om- Munity like that that it is most needed. p city can live and grow dependent on a le giant industry whieh is at the mercy tions in economic conditions, There be something more. There must be rsity of industry, and there must be a relationship between man and man, tween employer and employee, There ist be a recognition that the workers are man beings, living their lives from day day as peoples with hopes and aspira- Ho péople with hearts to be made happy ken as the case may be. Community spirit is that thing which from a contented populace. It is at ioe the cause and the effect. And, as com- nity spirit is built up, there comes a ¢ of citizenship that will induce effort behalf of the community, not effort for f purposes, but t6 make the coms hity & sweeter and better place, to make # place which has possibilities for de- opment, possibilities for bright . and ppy home conditions, and a citizenship at is friendly and neighbourly. : That is the kind of spirit Oshawa needs y It i8 hard to find it in the city, it true, but there are in this community at possibilities for building it up, if only eitizens as a whole will make up their that they want it, a Municipal Elections Down in Bowmanville, as in many other pwns of its size, the slate machine, ace ding to the Canadian Statesman, the well edited newspaper, was very lining up candidates for the year The machine, however, was badly gashed, many of the "selected" candi- ey falling before the advance of the éc upon the ballot boxes.

A Fine Railway Official Retires Mr, W. C. Riddell, chief publicity agent, of the Central Region" of the Canadian National Railways, with headquarters at Toronto, and a man well-known and highly esteemed by newspapermen throughout Ontario, has retired after thirty years' service. He was originally with the Grand Trunk and upon the amalgamation with the Canadian Northern and the formation of the Canadian National lines went with the new organization. As a publicity agent, Mt. Riddell had the faculty of being origine al and efficient in his advertising. He knew the business thoroughly and knew how to bring the public to the thought that the Canadian National Service was of the highest standard, Now that he is to have leisure, his friends of the Fourth Estate hope that he and Mrs. Riddell, will be privileged to thoroughly enjoy the release from the active daily grind, : Other Editor's Comments CANADIAN WHEAT (Edinburgh Scotsman) With regard to wheat, at the present time abbut 4 per cent of our requirements is taken from the Dominions and India, and about 42 per cent. from foreign sources. About 30 per cent comes from Canada alone. It should be possible for us to in crease that percentage, provided that Canada is pre- pared to give us corresponding advantages for our exports in her markets, and that should not be dif- ficult, more especially as since' the inerease in the American tariff Canadian sentiment has strongly flavoured buying, wherever possible from Great Bris tain instead of from the United States, It is not suggested that we should obtain all our imports of wheat from the Dominions; it is-beth necdssary and desirable in order to maintain our trade with other countries, notably in South America, that a propor tion shotild be taken from these countries, But under an Empire quota system such as is contems plated the proportion eoming from the Dominions Would tehd to inérease, while that from foreign sources would correspondingly diminish. BRITAIN SEES IT THROUGH (Regina Star) The number of unemployed in Great Britain has decreased by since October, No. wonder thers is a returning feeling of confidence and a revival of the hope that conditions are mending in Great Britain. Nor is it surprising that the ex- pectation of still further progress after the Ottawa Ecotiomic Conférence is growing amofig the British people. Now that they have their coats 6ff and thelr shoulders to the wheel, they mean to "see it through," and, after all, work and hope are the two strongest incentives to progress, and the surest face tors to promote the return to better things. CANADA'S NORTHLAND (Winnipeg Tribune) A hundred years from fiow the districts of Kee. watin and Mackenzie will be supplying a large part of thie population of this continent With meat, dairy products, furs from domesticated fur-bearing ani- mals, and fish hatched and tended by man. In addition they will supply an ample propottion of the world's base metals, and if there is any demand for gold and silver in that enlightened age, they will produce plenty of those also, At the beginning of the twenty-first century there will be several million permanent inhabitants in what are now known as the "barren lands" of the north, BITS OF HUMOR A Hollywood film-actot with a grouse was bitten y @ dog, and had to lie up. - The doctor, on examin- ing the injury, shook His head and said the matter was serious, as obviously the dog had been suffering from rabies, "All fight" said the actor, "hand me pen and "I say," said the doctor.

LJ LJ LJ Fred L. Fowke, writing to the Editor of The 1'imes, complains or "the bare-faced impertinence and glaring untriith" contained in a pas- agraph published some weeks ago in this column regarding Mr, Fowke and the sale of ths Oshawa Harbour some years ago. Mr. Fowke, in his letter to the Editor published in Thursday's paper, goes ori to prove every statement made by the Town Crier except one=that Mr, Fowke "put the purchasé price in his jeans". Possibly the Town Crier should have been more careful and said that "Mr. Fowke put 'his share' of the purchase price in his jeans", although there does not seem to be any clus in the letter of Mr, Fowke as fo just what per centage of the sui received was his share. If in- justice has been done the author of this column apologizes to My, Fowke and an concerned, * The Town Crier has always felt in his heart that Webster, the fel low who 106k s6 much trouble in compiling a dictionary, had no bus- iness doing so and that th, author of this column was a much better speller than he ever knew how to be. low we have a Justification of these views in a letter which ap- peared recently in a Toronto paper in Which the opinion was expressed that Worcester (whoever that may be) compiled a better dictionary than Webster. Apart from all that, and in all seriousness, it is an es. tablished fact that while Canada and Canadians ate supposed to talk and write English, and the citizens of ths United States recently admits te ° very fully that they talk and write a language of their own, Eng- lish dictionaries are very few and far between in this Dominfoh. The majority of people in Canada who haye need Yor sich articles use an edition of Webster compiled, print. ed and revised in the United Sta- tes, giving preference to United States spelling "Good-bye" for in« stance is spelled "00d by" "eon: venor" is spelled "convenétr'; the plural of "roof" is "roofs" accords ing to this authority, Merely an other phase of peaceful annexation, LJ The Town Crier does not always agree sith the Editor of The Times and an ediforial which appeared ii Thursday's issue of this paper, under the caption "Barring he Unemployed," gives rise to anether disagreement, In this editorial The Times said "V's have a strong feeling that a mistake was made in closing the doors of the council chamber to the unemployed of the city for the holding of afternoon meetings." The Town Crier would like t6 know if there is any public hall in Ontario, community hall or other m ting place the property of the community in which it A locat- ed, into which a body of men can walk and hold a meeting or meets ings without first obtaining the per- mission' of those who are charged by the community with its 'care and maintenafice ? All that the Proper- ty Committee of the Oshawa City Council has done is to say that no meetings may be held in the council chamber unless permission is first requested and obtained, and surely this is a very logical Mand to take.
