Cannot Afford To Let Up No city can afford to slacken its efforts to add to the prestige which it has already attained: Cities do not stand still. They are either moving forward or slipping back- ward. To a large extent the direction in which a city moves depends on its citizens. It is easy for a city to move backward. No city will ever move forward until its citizens make the proper efforts to help it on its way. Co-operation, with a definite point in view, coupled with constructive and aggressive leadership, will do wonders. Constructive co-operation will make devel- opments come more rapidly. The sooner a city gets started, the sooner it will view the actual development, Because times are difficult, that is no reason for sitting back and letting the city move in the wrong direction. ' New industries will not find a city unless that city keeps busy in letting the world know of its advantages and resources. The advancement of the home city's industrial, economic, civic and social life should be the aim of every citizen, no matter where he may live. If Oshawa's people can learn this lesson thoroughly, and transmit it into aggressive action, a brighter and better day will dawn for this community when the time of stress and difficulty has passed. Here's An Idea There are many persons who contend-- and with no little argument on their side ' --that all education past the public school should be paid for by those, or by the par- ents or guardians of those, who receive it. This school of thought says that the public at large should not be expected to meet the cost of supplying high school and college education to boys and girls, that higher education is a luxury and not the duty of the state to provide, We think there is a good deal to be said for this point of view and it should be kept in mind when anyone feels like being criti- cal of the relatively small fee charged at examination time.-- Border Cities' Star. When Are Men Too Old? It has often been charged that in modern industrial life, men are considered too old when they reach the age of forty. Now a medical man comes forward and gives what he believes to be convincing reasons for this attitude. Dr. Paul S. Achilles, of New York, explains that.men over forty are too old for new jobs because of "slow- mess, incompetence, dissatisfaction, lack of humor, dependence, conceit, interference, resistance, reminiscence, over-criticism, in- accuracy, suspicion, antiquated ideas and methods, and slovenliness in dress and posture." This hardly seems enough. Yet, if he were correct in his theory, not one of the men at the head of affairs in Great Britain, or in Canada, would be fit to hold the posi- tions they hold. Premier MacDonald did not become premier until he was a long way past forty years of age. The same is true of Premier Bennett, Premier King, Premier Henry, Premier Ferguson, and one ' could go on down the list of great states- men and leaders who found new jobs long after they had reached the age fixed as the limit for efficiency: Not a single member of the British Cabinet is under forty years of age. Not a single judge on the bench of the Supreme Court of Canada or the Supreme Court of Ontario was appointed | until he was well past forty. It may be true that, in industrial life, there does come a time when man-power slows up. We do not agree that forty is | the age at which this process becomes so | apparent as to render a man useless in | industry. Far from it. | Coming closer home, one has only to ask | the people of Oshawa to think of the men in the city who are well past forty, and are | holding down responsible positions. This city is typical of Canada in this respect, and Canada is typical of conditions the . whole world over.

They can only mean loss of a valuable Canadian resource annually becoming less plentiful and lessened opportunity for employment in future years. After extended investi- gation, the Canadian Forestry association has estab- lished that fully 91 per cent of Canada's forest fires are attributable to human carelessness and that dur- ing the year 1931 the "most prolific and reckless kindler" of such fires was the camper, including tourists and fishermen, COLONIZATION AND ROAD-BUILDING (Le Droit, Ottawa) The Ontario Government spends annually from five to ten millions on the construction of roads in Northern Ontario. One might imagine that such heavy expenditure as this would help colonization, But this is certainly not the case. Those who know most about the situation are very doubttul of the real objects of this construction work on the roads. They have the stronzest suspicions that these works are undertaken mostly for the purpose of recom- pensing political supporters, organizers of countries and contributors to the party coffers. Our roads have cost us a terrible sum! The Canada Highway, the trans-Canadian route, which was one of the principal planks in an electoral program, has already cost $70,000,000! Properly administered, these $70,- 000,000 would have permitted 70,000 families and 730000 individuals to establish themselves on the and. BITS OF HUMOR married)--And is Film (newly this home ?

Ottawa, July 27. -- We have now come to the conclusion of this series of articles. Their main object has been to suggest the reasons, in the present finan- cia] situation of the world, for the development of an Empire preferential tariff system, fully protectionist against the outside world (with possible exceptions in favor of reciprocating nations) but designed to support a large measure of unimpeded inter- change between the Empire countries; to point out the alter- ed attitude towards imports of Empire origin which this system involves; and finally to suggest that this altered attitude can on- ly be reconciled with a continued protectionist. attitude - towards domestic industries, if the proper field of those industries is more scientifically. defined than has been the case in the past, The problem ig the double one, first of clarifying our own feel- ings on the subject of trade, and then of embodying those feelings in a clearer and more scientifical- ly drafted legislation, Under an effective preference system, Em- pire products become in a very real sense domestic proaucts, even though they may not he made in our own country. We have to learn to look on the Ei: pire producer as sympathetically as we have hitherto looked upon our own producers, but with this limitation, that we have fcr many years encouraged the fi- vestment of capita] and the ein- ployment of labor in the home CANADIAN ART ON EXHIBITION Delegates to Imperial Con- ference Show Great Interest (Writte, for The Canadian Press by Dr. Marius Barbeau) Ottawa, July 27--Visitors at Ot- tawa during the Imperial Confer ence will want to know whether this country is doing as well in cre- ative arts as it is in the production of wheat. It ig to satisfy their cur- iosity that the National 'Gallery to- morrow opens a retrospective ex- hibition of paintings and sculpture, And the work of Canadian artists is so well arranged, in several halls, that it is bound to achieve its pur- pose, admirably, The whole scheme hinges upon a compact show of the paintings of J. W. Morrice and Tom Thomson, two outstanding Canadians whose career is now ended. The two div- ergent tendencies that divide Can- adian allegiance in pictorial art are thereby effectively set forth; the first, towards the French landscape painting of the Barbizon school, and the second, towards a later sense of autonomy that has grown rapidly at the expense of the other. Morrice characterjzes the first tendency. He belongs to France and its expansive influence abroad, whereas Thomson stands for self assertion in his own country, The contrast at close quarters between the two is impressive. No stranger can fail to understand, no Canadian can remain indifferent. Here is the parting of the ways, : The display of Canadian pictures in itself invites opinions and pre- ferences. Here the ancients are re- presented, there, the moderns, One of the halls is given wholly to a former generation. The only vital production of certain classes and | "ote here is found in the early grades of articles which we might have obtained from Empire cour- tries, and that we obviously mus? not withdraw the which we have granted them if they are making reasonably effi- | cient use of it. It has always been the effort of governments to make domestic trade as free and uncumbered as possible. the duty of Empire governments to extend Empire trade in al] those articles and grades which they do not propose to treat on a protection- ist basis for their own indus:- tries of a large proportion of the pro- ducts of the Empire as easy and uncumbered as is possible in the case of articles which have t» cross a boundary line and must therefore undergo examination and valuation. The Empire is so vast and so diversified that, harring a few natural raw materials, it can al- most render itself independent ~f al] the rest of the world. It is therefore not uneconomic that its tariffs against outside nations (with the possible exception of certain reciprocating nations al ready referred to) should be in all cases high enough to reserve its markets for Empire produce: even when geographical advar- tage, as in the case of Canada, on the side of the foreign article Just as the advantages of do- mestic production have, in Can- ada, long been held to outweigh a considerable addition to selling cost, so the advantages of en- couraging production with the Empire will be found to out- weigh the imposing of a very substantial tariff on goods of I'nited States origin, in order t» offset their proximity to the Can adian border. In this case the cash expenditure required from the Canadian consumer goes to- wards the support of shipping communications between Canadsn and the other countries of th» Empire, which communications will be of the utmost value 1 aiding the export of Canadian products to their most receptive markets, Exclusively concerned as it has been with economic considera The Rainy Day Pal --an apt name for an apt apparel Be prepared for this rainy weather by having a real water-proof slicker on hand.

Canadian landscape here beyond all question challenges interest. The 30 Morrice canvases form a remarkable show in themselves. Their refinement and beauty are ir- resistible. They are from the land great master of the French Impressionist School, yet they be- long to a world wider than France itself, Here are striking Quebec scenes, there, glimpses of the coasts of Normandy and Brittany, of Gib- raltar, ' there, arresting vistas in Italy, Morocco and the Gulf of Mexico. Morrice obviously belongs to France, not to Canada. Even in the winter scenes of Quebec, the snow 1s warm and thawing. The habitants with their blue 'carrioles' and their massive stone houses are reminiscent of Normandy. Morrice knew the Canadian winters well, in his adolscence, since he was born in Montreal, of Scotch-Caadian pate But he was an inveterate European, a Parisian by preference. He was. never deeply interested in the land of his birth; and his rest- less soul was that of a nomad. The very. reverse can be said of the work of Tom Tohmson, whose 20 canvases are exhibited in the other half of the same hall. The contrast .is breath-taking, Here we turn bodily ta the virgin forests of the north and the rugged shores of northern lakes: the air is cool, the skv 1s clear. A spectral glow be- speaks the Arctic, even through the leaves of mid-summer. The glory of autumn foliage sings out a hymn as has never been sung on canvas before. Here is the land of voy- ageurs, foresters and pioneers, a land of opportunity. The brush of Morrice never had touched it. Someone else must do it, Thomson and others like him endowed with a gift for pioneering. Thomson's Jack Pine stands like a symbol, that of a new Canada emerged from the cocoon Tt is lonesome at first sight, its branches OI a ents, tions, this series of articles can- not: fittingly close without a ref- erence to the less practical but more profound considerations which equally impel us on the way towards closer Empire rela- tionship. Canada is a member of the British family of nations, not alone for the economic ad- vantages which she can gain from that membership. She has flown the flag of the Empire from the beginning of her his- tory ag a self-governing country. Her soldiers have fought for that flag alongside of the men of the United Kingdom and of the other Dominions and colonies in the wars of more than a century, Geographically alone upon a continent dominated by a much greater English-speaking nation, she has never departed from the politica] institutions and the sc- cia] ideals of the Empire, She was the first of the Empire coun- tries to see the value of a con- scious national control of trade in Empire directions and she has maintained and Intensified that control for a generation, some- times with but little encourage- ment from her fellow members: Now that the idea which Can- ada inaugurated Imperial Preference ---- hag become a fact of general acceptance, she will he second to none in her recogni- tion of the new and wider con- cept of commercial relations which is opening up before us. Stopped Auto Thieves, Renfrew.--Notified by tele- phone of the approach by auio- mobile of two youths, Frank O° Brien and Ralph Williams, both supposedly of Ottawa, who were alleged to have stolen $14 from Hugh Costello, of - Brudeneil, Chief of Police Moses Greer and Constable Dan Henderson, of Renfrew, arrested them on ths Douglas highway, five miles from here, and lodged them in the cells, are drooping and shaggy.. But it is intensely Canadian. Sombro and grandiose, it is decorative. Who will mistake it for French art? Its only fault 1s novelty. It answers the question: Has Canadian art anything of its own to say? Mor- rice's answer was, No! Thomson's Yes! And they were both right. Canada can furnish a master paint er like Maorrice to Europe, and ex- press the beauty of own surround- ings in terms unmistakably its own, as Thomson has, The Jack Pine illustrates the story short in time but nonetheless important. It stands for other Ca- nadian paintings just as good and as typically Canadian in other parts of the National Gallery, among them; MacDonald's Solemn Land, Harris' North Shore, Lake Superior, Lismer's September Gale. and Varley"s Georgian Bay. Jack- son in this group holds a position rather unique. A Montreal painter trained mostly. in the French tradi- tion, he was a link between the old Montreal and Toronto. Moreover, a technique, opean like Morrice, but he strong- ly espoused the cause of the new movement and became one of its MacDonald. leaders, with Harris, Lismer and These are only a few of the mas- ter painters of the Canadian school, but there are many others of the younger generation: Holgate, Em- ily Carr, Carmichael, Pepper, Cas- son, Yvonne McKague, Fitzgerald and so forth, There are also good paintings and sculpture by other Canadian artists whose work leans towards Euro- pean affiliations but is also enriched with local color: Gagnon, Robinson, Mabel May, Hewton, Mrs. Newton, Prudence Heward, Sarah Robert- son, in painting, and, in sculpture, Elizabeth Wood-Hahn, Florence Wyle, Frances Loring, Emmanuel Hahn, Suzor Cote, and others.
