A Disgraceful Scene The scene which was enacted in the council chamber of Monday evening, when Eddie McDonald sat in the mayor's chair and refused to leave it until forcibly ejected by three constables, was nothing short of "disgraceful. The city council followed the law religiously in its method of filling the vacant mayoralty, and the attitude adopted by Eddie McDonald amounted to nothing more or less than a deliberate attempt to hold up council pro- ceedings, without respect to the law. A scene of this kind reflects discredit to the city. It does more than that, how- ever. It shows the kind of conduct which one can expect from the defeated candidate for the mayoralty. Had he wished to make a formal protest,there were other methods open to him. And, in the final moments of the meeting, his action in making it impossible for the newly-elected mayor to address the council and the assembled citi- zens, reduced the dignity of council pro- ceedings to the level of a Billingsgate or Limehouse harangue. Citizens of Oshawa can only judge men who appeal for public support by their actions. On this basis we leave the judg- ment of the citizens of Eddie McDonald in safe hands. Help the Kiwanis The Oshawa Kiwania Club today started on a campaign to previde funds to take under-privileged Oshawa boys to camp during the summer months. Few appeals made to the people of Oshawa in the past have had as much merit in them as that of the Kiwanians. Their work in estab- lishing the Kiwanis Camp at Kedron is purely a labor of love. They have worked |. hard to provide the camp site and build- * ings, and now, owing to the economic con- ditions, they find themselves short of the finances necessary to carry it on. This year, when so many families are in need, it is more essential than ever that the camp be conducted. The under-privi- ledged boys are in greater need than ever before, and there are more of them. It will be a Godsend to these boys to spend two weeks at the Kedron Camp, where they will have nourishing food, healthy living conditions, and. character-building activities under capable leadership and supervision. A camp of this type leaves a lasting impression on the mind of any, boy. " I is so little that the Kiwanis Club is asking from individual citizens that there should be no difficulty in raising the money required. A sum of $2.50 will send a boy to camp for a week. Five dollars "will give a boy two weeks at the camp. There should be hundreds of citizens in Oshawa willing to provide one, two, or even more weeks holidays for some poor lad who would otherwise spend the whole summer on the city streets. The campaign is now on. The club members are appealing to the citizens to help them carry on their splendid work. Let it not fai] because of lack of support from the citizens as a whole, Deceiving Radio Listeners Those who are interested in having radio broadcasting kept in the hands of private concerns, as at present, are going to great lengths in the effort to secure public sup- port for their views. They are even will- ing to practise deception in order to make * the listeners believe that their attitude is the correct one. A glaring instance of this was heard ii other night, when, following a broadcas' of an opera from New York, the announcer blandly stated over the air that if govern- ment ownership and control were put into effect, such operas will not be obtainable from a Canadian station. Then he added this word of advise, "Send in your protests to Ottawa against National Ownership." Statements of this kind are calculated . to deceive the radio listeners. There is no thought, in the policy proposed by Sir John shutting out programs of a high class Aird and his commision, of completely character from the United States. What is proposed is that only the best shall be . selected to be broadcast through Canadian ~ stations, with the elimination of those of - an inferior or objectionable character. Further, those who favor nationa] owner- ship of radio are convinced that by the 4 " development of Canadian talent, it will be possible to give the people of this country, from Canadian stations, programs of equal merit with any which are now re-broadcast from the United States. Men who are authorities on the subject of music and musical talent have stated, before the committee at Ottawa, that Canada has a' abundance of talent available to provide the best type of programs for Canadian stations, : Such tactics of deception are being practised for only one purpose. The pro- ponents of private ownership realize that their cause is a shaky one, and are trying to influence those who listen to their sta- tions by misleading them as to the true purpose of national' ownership. Those listening to the gratuitous advice sent out by these stations would do well to be on their guard, and to do just the reverse of what is asked of them by sending to Ottawa their demands for national owner- ship of Canada's broadcasting systems. Editorial Notes The Oshawa Citizens Band is making ambitious plaig: for the coming season. This musical organization, composed of men who are «in it for the love of music only, is to be congratulated. Sympathy always goes out to those who lose all their belongings by fire. There- fore the appeal by Albert Woolley for furniture and bedding for his new home should bring a generous response, Mayor Hawkes' inaugural address will go down into history as the address which was never delivered. Britain's budget is a credit to the nation, in view of the situation last fall. The National Government has lived up to its election pledges in a splendid manner, The Canadian Chamber of Commerce is doing a splendid piece of work in creating a sentiment in favor of complete co-opera- tion at the Imperial Economic Conference. The council's decision to establish a re- lief store may not please everyone, but it should result in considerable saving of the taxpayers' money. ' The board of education is protesting against any increase in the fees for depart- mental examinations. In times such as Oshawa is experiencing now, the board should go even further, and ask that they be abolished. | Other Editor's Comments THE PUZZLE OF THE ORIENT (Hong Kong Press) ; Unless the heroic fight before Shanghai is -nulli- fied by defeats, and the circumstances that accom- pany defeat, the sacrifices of the troops that held Kiangwan, Woosung and the rest of the line will profoundly alter the world political pasition. The era of Cginese military helplessness will have pass- ed. Neither Japan nor any other nation will be able to impose its will upon China and obtain the concessions which it desires, If Sino-Japanese hos- tility continues, and holds up trade between the two countries, the Japanese problem of a peed for colonies and markets will become not a Far Eastern but a world affair, and *one that is only capable of settlement either by future wars or by generous and far-sighted statesmanship.

The moment a certain type of error begins to change, its progress may be checked periodically and those things which may be con- tributing to the change may be relieved. Unlike Myopia, Conical Cornea fs inclined to progress through the years and only a few types of Myopia are progressive, Coni- cal Cornea fg therefore a cause of Myopia because Myopia is de- pendent upon the eye tissues giving way before the normal pressure of the eye from within except that this weakness of the tissue may exist in any part or throughout the whole covering of the globe of the eye. (To be continued) That you should pin your faith on the future of your city, not on its past It costg nothing to be loyal to the home city. Every citizen should boost the home city and help steer the snip that carries them, A good booster is not one who says something good about his llome city only when he finds it convenient to do so . A live booster doesn't wait; he hunts dpportuniiies to boost. A real booster is cordial and human. He boosts his city be- cause he takes pleasure in doing it.

ERS, BUT THEY ARE GOOD FINISHERS, HALIFAX TRADE BOARD FIRST IN AMERICA, GLAIM Thirteen Merchants Banded Together as Association in 1750 Halifax, N.S.--Halifax, capital of a province well known as the cra- dle of "first things," now lays claim to the first Board of Trade in British North America. Thirteen merchants of the newly founded city, then a cluster of crude houses guarded by log pali- sades from Indians who were wont to trade in scalps, banded themsel ves together in 1750 just one year after Edward Cornwallis had sailed his Sphynx into Chebucto Bay to lay down the "city founded by royal prerogative."

Meanwhile newspapers and lin- er passengers arriving at Halifax have shed new light on the disor- "ders, in the course of which an unruly mob wrecked the Colonial Building, broke up a session of the legislature and made Prime Minister Sir Richard Squires al- most a refugee for several days. The Union Jack figured prom- inently during the uprising of Ap- ril 5, according to the Evening Telegram and the Daily News, both published in Saint John's. March of Protest Headed by a flag-bearer and the Guards' Band, a citizens' commit- tee 'marched toward thes Colonial Building to present to the legisla- ture a resolution calling for a "proper investigation' of charges made by Hon. Peter -Cashin against the prime minister. In response to a published notice thousands of citizens joined the parade, until the crowd swelled to nearly ten thousand. Shops and business establishments were closed and all eyes were turned toward the legislature. The committee was admitted to the assembly and the crowd wait- ad. There was delay as the mem- bers discussed a motion of Sir Richard to have the petition re- ceived and turned over to a com- mittee of five to be named by the gpeaker. The ¢rowd became fid- gety, and some youths amused themselves by throwing stones at the windows. Police got busy and used their batons on the unruly ones. An uproar ensued. While there was still argument within and battle without, the delega- tion re-appeared and attempted to reform the parade and return to the theatre whence it had come. Fight For Flag Agi the flag-bearer and the band off, followed by the com- mittee and a section of the crowd of citizens. But there was another section keen for staying and con- tinuing the battle, and they would not fight under anything less than the Union Jack. 85 they promptly seized the flag and bore it back toward the war zone. The law-abiding citizens wanted to march under the Union Jack, however, so they put up a strug- gle for re-possession. The police joined ip, and it wag a three-cor- nered brawl, By the time the un- ruly ones reached the building and were using the staff to batter in the door, the flag was in shreds. Finally the police won that gec- tion of the battle, captured the torn flag and carried it to the safety of the assembly. Scene of Rowdyism The next scene is described like this in The Daily News: "Soon there was a breach in the doors and as men started to force their way in, the police inside, some twenty or more with batons drawn, hit every head as it ap- peared. Then police, under or- ders, charged down the steps driving bystanders before them, many of them innocent spectators. This seemed to get the crowd go- ing. Soon there was turmoil and the youths present got out of hand and pelted stones and other missles through the windows. The mounted police, because of the horses and their efforts to keep order, caused further trou- ble. Constable Lake, who was mounted on one of the horses, was forcibly dragged off the horse and when on the ground was hit with pickets and stones. Some of the spectators interfered and he was lifted off the ground and put in a motor and taken to the gen- eral hospital. Constable Layman and a civillan named Healey are also in the general hospital. At an early hour this morning the hospital stated that Constables l.ake and Layman were suffering from scalp wounds and Mr. Hea- ley from an injured foot. None of these men are reriously injur- ed. Police Charged -y After this scu.. , cms, the police charged the throng and struck right and left with their batons. A short time later a near by druggist was treating fifteen injured. Then the demonstrators gained the upper hand and drove the po- lice into the building, where they kept them prisoners until late that night. Every window in the building had been smashed. Youths took possession of the first floor and wrecked every room. A piano was dragged out to a near- by park, used for a few tunes of jazz, and destroyed. The plano was owned by Miss Morris, libra- rian, whose furniture, private pa- pers and books were thrown out and destroyed. Two deliberate attempts were made to set the building on fire, but each time the flames were stamped out by indignant eftj- zens who declined to participate in the disorders. Some boisterous Individuals had been shouting continuously for ' 'Squires", threatening to "throw him in the harbor." But the prime minister and Charles H. Hutchings, inspedt'sr-general of police, did not venture out for several hours, Lady Squires, only woman member of the legislature, had been escorted through the crowd by L. E, Emerson. She had a bandage around her head and it was sald she had been struck by a missle that broke a window, Premier's Escape The prime minister's escape, shortly before eight o'clock, was Rates.

A section of the mob attempted to cut off hig escape but they were delayed by the preachers, who pleaded with them several times. Further damage was done at the Colonial Building that night, and several stores were looted. The next day a crowd of about 2560 paraded through the streets and attempted to break into the central liquor store, Here they were addressed by Hon. Peter Lashin, who had laid the serious charges against the prime minis- ter after resigning his portfolio of finances and customs. Mr, Ca- shin persuaded them to return to their homes. A few minor breaks have occurred since, but no re- currences of violent disorders is expected.
