TORONTO OFFICE 18 Bond Building, 66 Temperance Street, Tele phone Adelaide 0107. H. DN, Tresidder, repre- sentative, ' WEDNESDAY, MAY 4th, 1932, rr -- Why the Delay? Last year the relief and unemployment situation in Oshawa, as well as in other municipalities of Canada was greatly aggravated by the delay of the federal and provincial governments in announcing their plans for co-operating with the muni- cipalities in relief work and direct relief, It actually seemed as if these governments were entirely unaware of the situation, and the mayor and aldermen of Oshawa, it will be recalled, made several trips to Toronto before any definite decision was given. In the meantime, the city had gone through a trying period, and hundreds of the citi- zens had suffered greatly, It begins to look as if the federal and provincial governments are playifig the same game this year. So far as has been made known, governmental contributions to direct relief and relief employment ceased on May 1. The municipalities have no assurance that it is going to be con- tinued for the summer months, In some cases, the municipal councils have an- nounced frankly and bluntly that all relief will be halted until the governments make their intentions known. That means hard- ship for those poor sufferers who are de- pendent upon civic relief for food and fuel and clothing. There should be no delay in announcing the government's plans this year, unless the government has become callous to the needs of the unemployed. There is no reason for delay. The governments know that the conditions today are just as bad as they have been during the winter. The governments knew that relief contributions ended on May 1, although the need for "them continued, If there is any sincerity in the governments in dealing with the unemployed problem, they will make known, at once, their intentions as to direct relief, so that the municipalities can make plans accordingly to take care of the situa- tion, The governments' plans should have been made known before April 30. They could have been made known before that date, unless there is no government policy to announce. And if that is the case, the sooner the policy is decided and an an- nouncement made, the better able will the municipalities be to control the situation which has arisen. Finger Posts Students of economics in this country are constantly looking for finger posts {*~~pointing the way to returning prosperity. One such finger post is to be found in the report of the federal minister of trade and commerce for the first three months of 1932, In this report, it is shown that Can- ada's exports of hams and bacon to Great - Britain, for the three months, showed an increase of 257 per cent. as compared with the same period in 1981. This is important news, since it has a great effect on the primary industry of ~ agriculture, It is made even more encour- 3 7 aging by the note that exports of hams and bacon to all countries increased by 400 per cent. over last year, and that for the first time, Canada exported hams and bacon to the Irish Free State, to the amount of ove 18,000,000 pounds. With the prices of hogs depressed to very low levels, and farmers struggling to "secure adequate returns for their produce, this report is a splendid finger post for ~ agricultural Canada. It shows that this country is gaining a splendid foothold on | the British markets for its hams and he bacon, and is building up a splendid export trade in this respect. When it is consider ed that only a small proportion of Britain's imports of hams and bacon in the past have been secured from Empire sources, the immense possibilities of this market become apparent. And the logical result of this increasing export trade should be to e the farmers better prices for their ~ This is one of the things needed to bring Dack prosperity. As Dr. G, I. Christie said his address here on Monday night, the prices received by the farmers for their products has 'a definite bearing on indus- ~ trial life'in the cities, Increased export ; trade is one of the means by which better "can be secured, and it will improve conditions considerably if full advantage could be taken of the potentialities of the British market, not only for hams and bacon, but for cheese, butter, eggs, honey, and the many other products of which there is a surplus in this country. Clean Up Week Half of clean-up week has now passed, and there have been indications that a great many citizens of Oshawa are taking part in the campaign, There are still many, however, who have paid no attention to the appeal of the mayor and fire chief for co- operation in cleaning up the city, and by so doing helping in the relief of the unem- ployment situation, There are few homes in Oshawa which do not require cleaning up at this time of the year. Winter months invariably cause an accumulation of dirt, dust and rubbish, in even the best regulated homes, and while housewives are usually keen enough to do their spring cleaning, the campaign should go further than that. There are gardens and backyards, cellars and attics, to be cleaned out, and in scores of cases these are tasks which require the services of a man for a day or two, This is where the clean-up week cam- paign can be a big factor in making homes happier in Oshawa, The mere fact of em- ploying a man and paying him a few dol- lars, if spread widely over the community, would do much to create a better spirit in the community, And there would be the added factor of making the city a brighter and more beautiful place, of adding com- fort to the home, and taking a real part in the campaign which has been sponsored by the mayor and the fire chief. Editorial Notes After all, the Communists in this coun- try do not amount to very much, Workers on the vacant lot gardens will have little time for grousing this spring. The proof of the pudding is in the eat- ing. Time alone will tell whether the relief store is a success or a failure, Tt is stated that 42 men control 85 per cent of the wealth of Canada, 85 per cent of which is created by the millions of workers. There seems to be something wrong with an economic system which produces that result, It must be nice to be so rich that you're not ashamed to ask the clerk for some- thing cheaper. A modern Frankenstein' taught his wife jiu jitsu and then sued her for divorce, charging cruelty. Why in Kansas complaining about those three-foot dust drifts? Didn't she vote dry of her own accord? Toleration is merely an admission that the other fellow has the inalienable right to be as mean as you are, When Trotsky said Stalin is tottering he was not using him as a horrible example at a temperance meeting. The fact that one is a taxpayer in name only this year does not deprive him of the inalienable right to kick about the high taxes. | Other Editor's Comments | DE VALERA AND THE OATH (Jamaica Gleanor, Kingston) Mr. De Valera has seen that he has no sympathy te expect in any part of the British Empire. The other Dominions regard his movement as one inim- ical to the integrity and even safety of the British Empire, and though it is true that the Canadian Government has not withdrawn its invitation to the Irish Free State to send representatives to the ap- proaching Imperial Economic Conference at Ottawa we must remember that up to now the Irish Oath of Allegiance has not been abolished, nor the Irish land debt repudiated. But let these things take place, and Ireland will occupy a new and unen- viable position face to face with the members of the British Empire Commonwealth, Eye Care and Eye Strain by C. H. Tusk, Ops. B (Copgright, 1008; SIGNIFICANCE OF OCULAR SYMPTOMS Perhaps the headache is not per- sistant but is only periodic, It may occur upon waking, Gets better or disappears by the time breakfast is over, returns as the day is ad- vanced especially when the eyes are used for close work, but it may not interfere with your sleep, You may not think tha} a head- ache in the morning could be due to the eyes especially as the eyes had been closed in sleep throughout the night just past. The morning headache is due to eyestrain in most cases because the accommodation was excessively active during the previous day and even though re- laxed when the eyes were closed it became active agzin when once the eves were opened When a case of this nature exists, relief may only be experienced when the proper glasses arc worn to support the ac- tive accommodation and so give vision without effort. People who suffer in this way get relief by put- ting on their glasses when once they wake in the morning, (To be Continued) an A Holiday in Virginia Dr. D. 8. Hoig Tells of Happy Days Spent on Shores vf Chesapeake Bay Complying with your request, I am sending you a short account of a few happy days spent, re- cently, on the Chesapeake Bay and especially at Norfolk, its southern extremity, This part of Virginia has, 1 believe, after sev- eral visits, the finest climate dur- ing the late winter and early spring, to be found in America, much like our weather in May, Norfolk lies almost on the ocean, just where the twin head- lands, Cape Henry and Cape Char- les guard the entrance from the sea, It is only a short distance from Virginia Beach, said to be one of the finest in the world, and reaching south to Florida where the foam-tipped billows of the Atlantic come rolling in unceas- ingly, where no land is encounter- ed to the East until the North coast of Africa is sighted.

Norfolk, for the most of its existence, was known as a quiet, rather exclusive southern town, whose strongest affiliations went back to slavery days; cher- ishing a strong distaste for New England folk and an equally strong attachment to its English traditions, From this quiet exist. ence it was rudely awakened by the entrance of the Unjted States It at once sil 1 le count of this unknow ma f products, and we have a depression Those w! over. their fears and buy the thing they need better for ever OVER AND EVERYBODY WILL and nev, The Women's Institute, spice of the program.' be its mayor and we think he will dscover this is the biggest prescrip. into the Great War, became the centre of the most feverish activity in the production of war material of every kind, Quite near, at Fortress Monroe and at Hampton Roads, there had long heen established important baser, both from the Army and Navy, These now expanded to en- ormous proportions, and overflow. ed into Norfolk, creating in fact, almost a new city, And then came peace, bringing with it disastrous dislocations of business and the abandonment of large districts, and enormous quantities of war material including hundreds of ships, finished and unfinished. From this awful debacle, Nor- folk extricated itself more quick- ly than most of the other port towns, It ig the most important city in that part of the state and the business centre for a large rurdl population, It has long heen an important shipping port and large cargoes of cotton, tobacco and coal are sent coastwise and overseas every year, These acti- vities served ag crutches until it found fits feet again after the war, The appearance of the place is rather reminiscent of an English town, a resemblance that is in- creased by the sound of the street names such as, Fairfax, 'Raleigh and Princess Anne, which have been retained, Norfolk in common with the whole Chesapeake Bay district, is a very paradise of good eats Virginia hams, Virginia turkeys, the finest shell-fish in the world, the whole range of sea-food at {ty best--their fish market is a won- derful sight and vegetables and fruit of the finest kind are to be had at moderate cost and in be wildering variety, practically the year round, And the negro cooks help is nearly all colored-- know how to do thelr part; 80 the housekeeper has no difficulty in producing appetizing meals. The Chesapeake Bay has on its west shore a wonderful system of tidal rivers, several of which seem as broad as the St, Lawrence nd rise and fall with the tide, tichmond on the nearly a hundred miles west, Washington on the Potomac, with Baltimore at the head of the Bay are all reached from Norfolk by well-equipped steamers, provid- ing good meals and state-rooms furnishing a fine variety of enter- tainment for the visitor.
