Tresidder, rep- resentative. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 3rd, 1932. Get Behind the Fair As the date of the Oshawa Fair draws nearer--it is now only ten days away--it pecomes more and more apparent that the officers and directors of the South Ontario Agricultural Society are making a supreme effort to make it a complete success. Not only have special attractions been arrang- ed, with a view to increasing the interest and the attendance but it is being organ- ized on a scale such as has not been tempted for some time. ig that the Hon. G. Howard Fer- guson has consented to officially open the fair on Tuesday, September 13, should be sufficient to make that a big day for Osh- awa and its fair, and the plans which are being made for a great get-together gath- ering of city and rural representatives should give added impetus to the fair on that day. Gl These things, however, are incidentals in the making or marring of the fair. The decision as to whether it is to be a success or a failure rests, after all, with the people of Oshawa and the surrounding commun- ity. The, 1932 fair offers an opportunity ' to the people of, this city and district to show what they can do in community effort. If they get behind the fair whole- heartedly, make it a success by their attendance, and by their interest in it, they can make it a memorable occasion. If they wish to make it a failure, they can do so by ignoring it. That is the.choice which has to be made. The fair is an Oshawa institution, and it rests with the people of Oshawa to make it the success which the officers and direc- tors are working to make it. There is no other way. Oshawa can, if it so de- sires, make this the greatest fair ever held here, and ensure a new lease of life for the South Ontario Agricultural Society. And, if Oshawa is to be worthy of being called a progressive and aggressive city, then its citizens will get behind the fair board to a man, and make all their hopes and dreams for the fair come true. Getting Back to School "The whining school boy, with his sat- chel and shining morning face, creeping like snail unwillingly to school." That is how Shakespeare describes the school boy in describing the seven ages of man in his play "As You Like It." On Tuesday next the Public Schools and Collegiate and Vocacational Institute of Oshawa will open their doors when thousands of students will pour into the old familiar buildings to commence once again the round of duties which will last for the longest session of the year, until Christ- mas. We doubt, despite Shakespeare's de- scription, whether there will be much whining or creeping to school. A happy feature of the long summer holidays child- ren of today are given, is the fact that towards their close the child tires of the inactivity from work, and tires a little of play too, so that when the opening day ar- rives the majority are ready and willing to proceed in pursuit of their studies for three months. To some, the five and six year olds, school opening presents a new and wonder- ful adventure. The huge building they have often admired is to be entered and ex- plored. The realm of story book, the intric- acy of arithmetical problems, art and physical training present to the starters something new each day and each week, -and their first year at school is usually one of unbounded enthusiasm and delight. May we refer just briefly to those who have been going to school regularly for some time. Some, with honor, have passed their summer examinations and proudly look ahead for new and greater fields to conquer, while others, perhaps a little crestfallen, through failure to pass ex- aminations are not so eager for the fray. To those who did fail and are perhaps a little downhearted,, or who may have an inferiority complex regarding their own accomplishments may we say step right into the work, co-operate with your teach- ers and parents, for both want to help you, and your disappointment of this year will turn to glorious achievement next year. "True gentleness is founded on what we owe to Him who made us, and to the com- mon nature which we all share."--Blair. " Encouraging "Real Driving" The Metropolitan Life Insurance. Com- pany has issued an excellent booklet, en- titled "Encourage 'Real Driving' in your community." As the title suggests, it is aimed at building up a community spirit of safety in the driving of motor vehicles by bringing all the force of public opinion to bear on the subject. Pointing to the tremendous toll of human life taken in automobile accidents it suggests the devel- opment, in each community, of a. 'real drivers" campaign, supported by local organizations and institutions, as a means of reducing the number of such accidents. There is a great deal to commend this idea. Safety in driving, after all, is largely a matter of education. Consistent efforts to create the will to safety in a general way have already helped to lessen the toll of deaths in automobile accidents in thls province. The method suggested in this booklet whereby intensive efforts would be made; locally, in each community, would bring still greater results. This idea is worth following up, and, as it suggests that the mayor in each town or city should take the lead in the move- ment, and should secure the co-operation of other citizens, and of such organized bodies as might be interested, we pass along to Mayor Hawkes that if he has not received a copy of this booklet, he should at once secure one, and see to what extent its suggestions could be put into practice in Oshawa. Editorial Notes The person who is stealing vegetables from the gardens of the unemployed men of Oshawa richly deserves the title of the city's "meanest man." September seems to think that this is July. On September 13 W. E. N. Sinclair will for once give the Hon. G. Howard Fergu- son a heartfelt welcome to Oshawa. There is much to commend the principle of a moratorium of one year on municipal debentures. It would certainly give Osh- awa an opportunity of getting back on its feet financially. Looking around the Oshawa harbor makes one wonder where it will be possible to pile any, more coal, if it keeps coming in as/it hag done in the last month. George Young, after Wednesday's swim, announced that he was through with marathon swimming. But he felt differ- ently about it after a night's rest. Now George and Margaret Ravior may have to take a less pretentious honeymoon than a trip around the world. It is very unusual for a magistrate to be censured, but, nevertheless, the idea of sending a man to jail for ten days because he was unable to pay a debt of $1.50 is obnoxious to the British ideas of justice. The Canadian National Railway board is determined to cut out a lot of apparent deadwood in an effort to make a better showing for the next financial year. Ang all this re-organization and chang- ing around of the C.N.R. organization makes one wonder just what Sir Henry Thornton is thinking about it. C.N.E. attendance figures are substan- tially below those for last year. Here in Oshawa, however, the fair directors are hopful of having a substantial increase. Let us show Toronto that it can be done, even in a year like 1932, The British government is now consider- ing intervening in the Lancashire cotton mill strike but, isn't it rather unfortunate that it did not intervene before the strike started.

Mayor Thomas Hawkes does not let any grass grow under his fect when he hears of conditions that, in his opinion, need an investigation He does ot waste any time in won- dering who thie proper official should be to investigate, but gets right down to work himself. As an instance of this may be clted the fact that after hearing reports late on Thursday night, that children were eating refuse food deposited on the city dump he was down at the dump bright and early on Fri- day morning. As a result it is very probable that immediate action will be taken by the civic authorities to guard against such conditions, » - An advance of $7.00 or to be ex- act $7.02, in the rates charged by the Hydro Electric Power Commis- sion for power delivered to the Oshawa Public Utilties Commission is "an awful bump" to say the least of it. The local Commission seems to be quite right in making an ef- fort to obtain some remedy against this advance in rates until indus- trial conditions are a great deal bet- ter than they are to-day. Ld LJ . Joseph Chamberlain, advocate of protection for Great Britain whose son, Neville Cham- berlain, was one of the signatories for the United Kingdom following the Imperial Conference, would cer- tainly not rest easily in his grave if he could see how some Canadian newspapers have been referring to him, On several occasions Chamberlain has been given nickname of "Birmingham something 'that he certainly got in lifetime. His constit- uents of Birmingham (the biggest city In the world, by the way, so | far as actual area is concerned) of- ! ten referred to him as "Brumma- gem Joe", yes, "Birmingham Joe" is a great deal too stiff and formal for good old Brum when it chooses its nickname for a popular idol, v Ad . that great Joe the Joet] never his "J. D. M." is evidently a "Bonnle Fighter" and continues to come up for more. Well, the Town Crier can keep it up just as long as he does. In his last letter to the edit Y, published in Friday's paper, "J.D. MS" accuses Fhe Town Crier of "a cheap. attefipt to evade the main issue"; d defines the main issue as "that so worthy and repregen- tative a body of citizens as the Horticultural Society should public- ly announce, or permit the announ- cement of a Sunday summer gram that utterly ligious service in every church it the city." So, to get down to bus- iness at last, it seems that "J. D. M." might level a similar charge as that levelled against the Horti- cultural Society against the dele- gates to the Imperial Conference: against all the railway companies and shipping companies; against all public utilities which operate on a Sundav.

The reason for Warriors' Day is purely and simply. to swell the attendance at the Exhibition, There is no feel- ing of patriotism, or any sincere de- sire to honour the veterans behind the action of the Exhibition author- ities when the day's parade is ar- ranged, it is solely a commercial proposition. The day's program is staged with very little cost to the Exhibition,~just the fees charged by one or two banls for marching in the parade, and, in addition, a pork pie and a bottle of pop for the poor exploited veteran whe is fool i:h enough to take parr.

By this means needy workers will be liberated from the necessity of appealing to pub- lic charities in order to secure food, shelter and the bare neces- sities of life. "Labor is pressing more stren- uously than ever for the estab- lishment of the shorter work-day and work-week in order to over- come the dis-equilibrium caused through the displacement of man power by machinery and thus more equitably distribute the opportunities for employment, It seeks to Increase purchasing | power by reducing interest rates on public loans, restoring wage levels and raising prices which the farmer receives for his pro- duce. "Labor seeks the development of our rich heritage of 'natural resources for the benefit of the community and not for the en- richment of the few and by se- curing the enactment of social legislation to modify the sever- ity of the economic struggle for the aged and infirm and give pro- tection to children and youths so as to ensure to them a fair and equal opportunity to become worthy citizens. "The record of trade unions in seeking to attain their objective only by constitutional methods, warrants support and co-opera- tion of all other classes to the end that prosperity may be re- stored and comfort and happi- ness replace the misery and want which today exists in so many Canadian homes." A, R. Mosher A. R. Mosher, President, All- Canadian Congress of Labor, writes as follows: "The signific- ance of Labor Day lies in the fact that it represents a recogni- tion by the Government of the existence of the workers of Can- ada, that large majority of the population who depend upon wages for a livelihood. In select- ing the first Monday in Septem- ber for this holiday, 38 years ago, the Government followed the example of the United States, and it is notable that both coun- tries lag far behind the other in- dustrialized countries of the world in social legislation. The gesture of good-will towards the workers has remained an empty one, "This official indifference re- flects the industrial development of Canada and the United States, which is still in the stage of economic individualism, and which has been closely paralleled by Labor organization. The in- fluence of United States unions is responsible to a considerable degree for the lack of political progress on the part of Canadian wirkers, and for their failure to protect more effectively against abuses of power and privilege. . Great Advances "In recent years, however, the national Labor movement has made great advances in member- ship and influence. It has taken an uncompromising stand in favor of economic and political reform, and the workers ' are turning to it with hope and en- thusiasm_ Their faith in the in- tegrity and the intelligence of the owners of wealth has been destroyed by the evidence that, in a world of plenty, great mass- es of men and women are desti- tute, that unemployment is in- creasing, fhat commerce is par- alyzed, and that their political and industrial leaders are per- plexed and bewildered. "There are many people who can he convinced only by estab- lished facts. Such people can no longer close their eyes to the de- fects of the present economic system, based on competitive pri- vate enterprise and motivated by the desire for profit. It is dif- ficult to understand how sane and sympathetic individuals are able to defend this system, even where they are its beneficiaries, and the workers are getting ready to use their economic and political power in a concerted endeavor to hasten the evolution of a more equitable order, "On Labor Day, 1932, when economic distress and social un- rest are everywhere in evidence, it is essential the people of Can- ada should he aware the workers of this great country are taking stock of their position, and are resolving as never before to use their energies along the lines I have indicated. They are deter- mined to put an end to the econ- omic system responsible for the present paradox of poverty in the midst of plenty. Many obstacles lie ahead, but the goal is clearly seen, and they are mustering thelr forces for the forward march." T. M. Draper P. M. Draper, Secretary-Treas- urbr, Trades and Labor Congress of Canada, says; "The year which has passed since last La- bor Day was que long to be re membered in the annal of indus- trialized affairs. Unprecedented economic depression held all countries of the world and Can- ada experienced conditions not seen before. Though no section of thé community escaped, un- fortunately, as is always {de case with these major economic dis- turbances, the heaviest toll was ranks were recruited the large amy of the unemployed, who, after a brief interval in which scanty savings were rapid- ly exhausted, have become depen- dent upon public grants and pri- vate charities for the merest sub- sistence. One cannot contemplate their most unhappy situation without feeling that too little ef- fort has been devoted to the problem of a more equitable dis- tribution of industry's products, the solution of which would ren- der us obsolete, as it should be necessary, the present spectacle of such widespread unemploy- ment. "Some few seek to capitalize the present situation to their own particular ends. There are those who, indulging in radical criticisms of the orzanization of industry and society, would sub- stitute for it a state bordering on communism, These are the forces which would destroy, but they have yet to show their cap- acity for the more difficult task of building. With little likelihood of their 'isms' being put to any practical test, they may be quite irresponsible turning all evi- dence of the unhappy lot of many of the people into arguments in favor of a semi-chaotic condition. From these people the workers can hope for nothing except fur- ther misery. Then on the other hand there are those who adopt the attitude that absolutely no change must be made in the pres- ent economic organization, to- gether with those who even seek to profit at the expense of the misfortunes of the victims of the depression. Fundamental changes in our present economic concep- tions are demanded by the pres- ent situation, and those who would oppose such changes as common justice dictates are as anti-social in their attitude as are the propagandists of radi- calism." paid by the workers, From their | those .
