Ste- phens, which we do not think can be pos- sible, there is going to be some interesting discussion regarding the powers of the Public Welfare Board. Speaking at a meeting of ratepayers the other night, Ald. Stephens attacked the board for wpointing 2 relief administrator. Here are the words he used in reference to this subject: "If he has been appo Welfare Board, then the board will pay him, because the city council won't.

' ' The Canadian Dollar Rising The last week has séen an almost spec- tacular rise in the New York quotations for the Canadian dollar. Early this week, it reached a quotation of 9314 cents to the dollar, and while it has since dropped back slightly, on account of a sharp depression in sterling, it still stands at a higher figure than, had been quoted for some months. This rise in the price of the Canadian dollar has not happened just by accident. It is the result of the increasingly favor- able conditions in this country, Canada's increased export trade in wheat, and its huge crop available for export, has had a stimulating effect on the exchange rate for Canadian currency, and the operation of the law of supply and demand of Cana- dian dollars in the world's markets has gradually forced quotations upwards. If conditions develop at all favorably in the next few montKs, it would not be unreason- able to expect that Canada's dollar will come back to even terms with the currency of the United States, a position which it should never have been obliged to give up. .

It certainly does not represent the view of the mayor and two aldermen who are members of the Public Welfare Board. In fact, we are inclined to think 'hat Alderman Stephens has entirely over- ooked the reasons why the provincial gov- srnment asked the municipalities to ap- point Public Welfare Boards. The first responsibility of the Public Welfare Board is to take complete charge and control of all relief administration In the city. That includes, if it means any- thing, the building up and direction of a sufficient and adequate staff to provide for efficient administration. Therefore its position is clear, and, since, at the present time, the board is operating on funds sup- plied by the city, it will continue to so operate, and its salary roll, including all the staff working on relief problems, will be met from the city treasury. The Board has a perfect right to appoint an adminis- trator if it is satisfied that such an official is necessary, and if the council seeks to interfere with that right, then the purpose for which the board was appointed is de- feated. This becomes apparent when one peruses the recommendations of the government regarding such boards. In the first place, this board is placed, in these recommenda- tions, on the same basis as the board of health, the parks board and the library board, and the next paragraph is as fol- lows: "It tends to rémove the administration of relief and public welfare services generally from the more immediate influences of municipal politics." That was what the government intended when it asked that such a board be ap- pointed. What Ald. Stephens suggests is entirely contrary to what the government desired. The Public Welfare Board has full authority to control all relief admin- istration matters, and if the council seeks a right of censorship or prohibition over its actions, then its usefulness is immediately destroyed. Of course, as we have said, we do not believe the members of council generally, are in sympathy with Ald. Stephens' statement, but it is just as well that the actual position of affairs should be made perfectly clear in advance. A Canadian Drama League Some interest ig being taken locally in the meeting which has been called by Earl Bessborough, to be held at Government House, Ottawa, on October 29, to discuss the formation of a Canadian drama league, and the discussion of plans whereby its work can be made effective in creating a higher standard of native Canadian pro- ductions. Oshawa is to be represented at that meeting, and it is the hope of those who are interested in the drama here that as a result of this meeting there will be a revival of interest in the amateur theatre here. Two or three years ago, there was an excellent Little Theatre organization in Oshawa, but when conditions became such that it could not be adequately supported by the public, it was decided to discontinue its activities until a more favorable time. It was not_dishanded, but its activities were simply held in abeyance, Should the meeting in Ottawa develop into somethng tangible, with the suggest- ed competitions for the production of ama- teur plays, a favorable atmosphere would be created for the revival of Little Theatre activities. There are many citizens who regret that it is not functioning at present; and would welcome its vevival, and it may be that the move sponsored by Ear] Bess- teams will know their fate tomorrow, Under present conditions, there need be no doubt but that the ratepayers of Osh- awa will carry any industrial bylaw that looks like being a good proposition for the city. TR ) Local grocers and butchers are making a strong effort to secure the city's relief business, to the abandonment of the food store idea. The Public Welfare Board on the other hand, asks to be shown how it can save money by making the change. The fur store robbers in Toronto must have had a premonition that there is a cold winter ahead. The citizens of Kirkland Lake have shown that up in the north they have as little use for the reds as they have in any other part of Ontario, It is hardly creditable to the city that a man's furniture should be sold in these days for non-payment of taxes--unless it can be shown that there was good and sufficient reason, other than mere unem- ployment, for their non-payment and the resultant sale.

Either additional markets will have to be found for our wheat or farmers muss adopt mixed farming on a much larger scale in Western Canada. By raising cattle, hogs and poultry, etc, the Canadian agriculturist can utilize a larger portion of the surplus grain and thus take advantage of the widened market in the United Kingdom for dairy products, ham, bacon and pos- sibly live cattle. HIGH TOLL (Kingston Whig-Standard) Experience proves that most industrial eye acci- dents are preventable, yet statistics prove that in- dustrial accidents are the cause of 15 per cent of all blindness in the United States. This frightful toll of blindness gives pause for sober thought. The situation seems the more appalling because of the gratifying progress made against blindness resulting from infant diseases. In 20 years blindness from this sours has been reduced by one-half, It is manifest that this important work has just begun.

EYBSIGHT SPECIALIST PROTECTION Any citizen so established does not of necessity play upon the fears of his patients, On the con- trary he finds it more his duty to quiet the fears and relieve the situation in a manner beneficial to both his patient and himself. The method of those mention- | ed in the recent newspaper edi- torial is entirely the contrary. They play upon the fears of the patient and under this condition act immediately, They are not interested in the good-will of the patient because they expect to visit their patients only once, They refer chiefly to a growth just discovered on the eye, Some- times even speaking of a cata- ract, practically always speaking of something of so serious a na- ture that the mention of it is recognized. They are willing to extract this growth at once for a consid- eration, as the doctor will only be available for a few days. The summing up. usually shows that the greatest thing extracted is the sum of money.
