The Public Welfare Board Oshawa at last has a public welfare board to take complete charge of the ad- ministration of direct relief in the city. At last night's council meeting, after many months of delay, the council finally accept- ed the recommendations brought before it by a special committee and the citizens' ad- visory relief committee, and created the central organization which has for months been a necessity in the city. There will be no quarrel with the per- sonnel of the Public Welfare Board. The men and women chosen are all tried well in public service for their fellow-citizens, and have in the past given lavishly of their time and energy, and their money, too, in the cause of suffering humanity in Osh- awa. The citizens can rest assured that the administration of relief has been placed in safe hands, and that the interests of all parties concerned, and particularly those of the families in distress, will be amply safeguarded. It is not likely that the new board will make any drastic changes in the method of administering relief. Provision will in all probability be made, however, for taking care of the shelter problem, in part at least, and for the payment of water and electric light bills to some degree. Apart from that, it is likely that the store system, pos- sibly with some modifications, will be con- tinued. What is important, however, is that the co-operation of voluntary workers and or- ganizations is essential in handling the re- lief problem. The Women's Welfare League, in its various branches, rendered yeoman service in this respect in the last two years, taking over the problem of sup- plying clothing to the needy families. It is to be hoped that the new board will have the hearty support and co-operation of these devoted and public-spirited women, for there is work for them to do, and it is well known that they can do it. Advertising Did It The last three days of the Canadian Na- tional Exhibition were the only days to show increased attendance. The reason for the increases on these three days was that certain large industrial concerns, manufac- turing well-known products, came to the aid of the exhibition authorities, and, by lavish advertising, made definite offers to assist people in getting to the big fair. The comment of Allan Ross, head of the Wrigley Company of Canada, one of the firms which joined in boosting the fair at- tendance, on this record, is interesting. He declares that the success of the fair in the last three days was due to the newspaper advertising. Not only did newspaper adver- tising put across the story, but it made the turnstiles at the fair click more rapidly than they did last year. From a constant- ly decreasing attendance record, the situa- tion was changed to one of three days of increase. More important still, Mr. Ross points out, the morals of the people was entirely changed. This is what he says: 'The greatest result which we have attain. ed is the fact that a losing frame of mind can be changed into a winning frame of mind. In other words, if you can swing attention towards success, you will win your fight. This is shown by.the records of the last three days of the exhibition. ....By using 14 pages of newspaper space we got results. We put the attendance over the top. It shows that human beings can be shaken out of a losing frame of mind." What a lesson is to be found in this for men who are struggling along in a losing frame of mind. Newspaper advertising per- formed this miracle, if you like to call it that, and turned threatening failure into success. This is a striking tribute to what newspaper advertising can and will do if men in business will only give it the chance 0 work for them. When The Buying Starts A good deal of hopeful speculation is en- gaged in these days so to just what will happen when Mr. Average Citizen and his family start to stock up after their long buyers' strike says the Sudbury Star, It is acknowledged that inventories are low and business in general for a long time has accustomed itself to hand-to-mouth buying. As often as this subject is broached co idaiins sa someone usually is ready with the com- ment that Mr. Average Citizen will begin to buy when he gets the money. As a mat- ter of fact, however, there are reports, such as that of the American Bankers' Association, which indicate that confi- dence, rather than cash, is the lacking factor. Savings deposits, both in the United States and Canada, are at high levels, Fig- ures for the Dominion are not available at States are almost $28,250,000,000. Anyone will admit that that is a tremendous buy- ing power, immediately available. It is stated, also, that savings accounts of the Post Office Department, which aggregate $800,000,000, are increasing at the rate of $50,000,000 a month. So that it would seem, although restora- tion of confidence is needed, taken alto- gether, there is no serious lack of actual cash. The thing is to-get people in a spend- ing mood.

EYESIGHT SPECIALIST Part "3" When we consider as already mentioned that one forth of the school children have poor vision, this will react as a strain on teachers as well as on the child- ren. The effort of the teacher is tested to the 1imit with those who blunder half blind at their work retarding not only themselves but the rest of the class, The growth of visual defects is fognd to be progressive due as we can see to the strain on the formative tis- gues of the eyes and many of these conditions so created con- tinue progressive through life as a penalty paid by the most progressive, studious and indus- trious. We should not forget however that as these conditions grow they are being studied and a knowledge of their existence, cause and relief will become in time as it is now a more and more common knowledge and many of the children in later years will be in a position to say as some are now saying if I had my eyes attended to in earlier life much of this trouble now existing should be relieved. While many of these conditions grow and develop as a natural sequence to strain jn the effort to see clearly many of them are hereditory, but they are certain to manifest themselves seriously during school life due to the strain on the eyes while the tis- sues are plastic or while the eye | is in its formative condition, I11- | ness is also a contributory factor in that it makes the already | weakened tissues less able to with stand any added strain.

THE ONLY BE COMPLETELY WITH THE GOODS YOU IS TO BUY THEM FROM MERCANTS OF THE CITY, CANADA SECOND AMONG WORLD'S GOLD PRODUCERS Department of Mines Pub- lication Shows Great Advance in Industry (By C. R. Blackburn Canadian Press Staff Writer) Ottawa.--' 'Gold' is where you find it"-- and Canadians hase been finding it in such increasing ouantitieg in the last 75 vears that the Dominion now rinks as the second greatest producer of the precious metal among countries of the world. A booklet prepared by A H.A. Robinson and issued y partment of mines tells of strides taken by this industry, one that did not feel the depressicn and never failg to find a market for producer In cold figures and prosaic ob- servations that reflect nothing of hysteric "Gold Rushes," tne heart-hreaking travel] of the pio- neers of the Klondyke or the neec- tic life of the mining camps, the record tells of the increase oi Canada's output from 34,000 fine ounces valued at $705,000 in 1866 to 2.695.000 ounces valued at nearly $56,000,000 in 1931. In Second Place In 1931 after a steady increase from 1923, Canadian stepped in- to second place among the world producers, supplanting the Uni- ted States In that year da's output was 2,102, ounces with United close third at 2,100,315. South Africa, leader world gold producing since 1905, has forged ' ahead with only slight occasional se'- backs unti] the figure was 10, 716,351 in 1930. In 1931 Canada took a bewer grip on second place with 2,695, 219 fine ounces. The United States produced 2,191,881 ounces and South Africa, still increasing its output, 10,874,145, Gold is found in every province of Canada except Prince Edwar.! Island, but the province of On- tario is now the heaviest produ- cer. Of the 1931 production On- tario accounted for 78 per cent. principally from the mines at Porcupine and Kirkland Lake. Quebec produced 11. per cent of the total, British Columbia six per cent, Manitoba four per cent, and the balance from Yukon territory, Nova Scotia and Al berta, WAY YOU CAN SATISFIED BUY the the the its 068 fine States 'a among countries Gold. Takes Lead Ranking with coal as the twa most important mineral products of the dominion, gold took the lead in 1931 when the value of the vellow metal produced in this country exceeded the value of coal for the first time, Changing conditions, and char- ged methods hava written the history of gold mining in Cana- da, its rise and decline and sec- ond rise to even greater heights. Placer or alluvial deposit mi- ning which produced $23,000,000 worth of gold in 1900, has giver way to ore mining, the main source of the present day, At present the average gold recover- ed from alluvial sands average $1,000,000 per year. At the present time the com- panies working alluvia) deposiis are located as follows: Alberta one; British Columbia 35; Yukon territory 12. Companies working gold ore mines: Nova Scotia eight; Quebec 20; Ontario 53; Manitoba five; Saskatchewan one; British Columbia 33 Use of Gold In a brief history of the use of gold the booklet tells of the bloody yet romantic = place the metal has played in the life of ankind as far hack as history reveals. 'The object of man's THE | HOME | de- | Cana-. stupidity from the earliest times, gold has been, perhaps, more in- fluential than any other metal in shaping the course of human his- tory," says the introductory para- graph. "The lure of gold has drawn men to the most remole corners of the earth and has thus paved the way for settlement and civilization in new countries, It has been a fruitful source of wars and of many other of the strenuous activities, both good and evil, of the human race," Of little commercial value, ex- cept for ornamental . purposes, gold has at no time been valued for the industrial uses to which it may be put, Valued at first as an ornamen- | ta) substance of some rarity it quickly became a common medi: um of barter, ranking at first with silver, copper, iron, corn, oxen, cloth, skins and shells. But | all these other mediums passed into discard while gold remained always and everywhere held in high esteem until finally it be- came the accepted standard of value throughout the greater parf of the civilized world. As a matter of prosaic fact the only industrial use of the metal at present, apart from its orna- menta; value, is in the making of pen nibs and fillings for teeth. But it remains the only substance | that ig freely accepted for ali | services and commodities in al parts of the globe---the one com- modity the market for which 1 | never glutted. Not Abundant While gold is found nearly | everywhere it 1s not an abund- | ant metal and its recovery, in many instances, ig too expensive to make it a profitable undertak- ing. Its scarcity may be envis- joned when it is realized that it the entire gold production sinc: Columbus discovered America iu 1492, were cast in a solid cub, an edge would measure only 38 feet Canadian gold discoveries date back to 1823 or 1824 when placer gzold was found in the valley of the Chaudiere river in Quebec. But no real attempt was made to recover it until 26 years later. When -the world was thrilled by the rush of gold seekers to Cali- fornia in 1848 and in Australia in 1851, Canada became 'gold conscious" and important disco- veries were made in British Col- umbia, This was followed oy similar discoveries in Nova Sceo- tia in 1862, but up to 1895 the principaj output came from Brit- ish Columbia, The Chaudici2 placer mines in Juebec were esti- mated to have yielded $2,000,000 between 1860 and 1876. Klondike Discoveries In 1896 the discovery of rich gravels on the Klondike river in Yukon territory brought a period of intensive gold mining in Can- ada. Between 1895 and 1903 the total gold production was more than $100,000,000 from the Yukon alone, At the same time the industry underwent grest stimulation in British Columbia and Nova Scotia. The peak of this development was reached in 1900 when the total Canadian output was 1,350,057 fine ounces of gold, the largest amount rs. corded for any one year up.i» that time. - ra ee" 4 paid on deposits-- subject to withdrawal cheque. KING AND VICTORIA STS., TORONTO 23 SIMCOE ST. N., OSHAWA 2) ESTABLISHED 1884 Then production fell off until 1907 when it was only 405,517 fine ounces. In Ontario Discoveries at Porcupine and Kirkland Lake brought on the greatest production the country had yet known. These were in 1909 and 1912 respectively. The suceess of these enterprises lec other provinces to seek their home territories for similar re- sources with the result that Mar- ftoba and Quebec came into the picture. The discovery of gold at Rouyn, Quebec, and develoj- ments there made Quebec the second largest producer among the provinces, Finds in Mam- toba transformed what was pre- viously looked upon as a purely agricultura] area, into what ap- proaches British Columbia as a source of minerals, Porcupine and Kirkland Lave remain the most importaut sources of gold yet found in Can- ada and give promise to be tus predominating factors influencing the trend of production for years to come. In 1930, the last year for which reasonably complete worid figures are available, the Union of South Africa, contributed about 53.5 per cent of the world's total gold production. Canada- had about 10.43 per cent, the United States 10.42 per ceat, Russia 6.5 per cent, and Austra- lia about 2.3 per cent. Leading Producers Leading producers of gold ia Canada, in order of their ime portance in volume, are as fol- lows: Lake Shore Mines, Limited, Kirkland; Hollinger Consolida- ted Gold Mines, Limited, Porcu- pine; Teck-Hughes Gold Mines, Limited, Kirkland Lake; Nora da Mines, Limited, Rouyn, Qu McIntyre-Porcupine Mines, Limi- ted, Porcupine; Dome Mines, Limited, Porcupine; Wright-Har- greaves, Mines, Limited, Kirk- land Lake; Premier Gold Mines, Limited, Salmon River, B.C.; Hudson Bay Mining and Smeltina Company, Limited, The Pas, Man.; Sylvanite Gold Mines, Lim- ited, Kirkland Lake; Howey Gold Mines, Limited, Red Lake, Ont.; Yukon Consolidated Gold (Continued on page 7) on Permanent Character There is iron and rock in the veins of Canada, as well as ~ gold and silver."
