The" figures presented by the schools of Oshawa, show- ing new families which have moved into the city durnig the last two or three months, are amazing, and the Public Wel- fare Board has ordered that every case be investigated with a view to finding out the likelihood of these families coming on the city for relief. It is manifestly unfair for families to be moved into Oshawa for the purpose of sad- dling them on the city's relief department, if that is the practice which is being fol- lowed. This city has sufficient responsibil- ity in taking care of its own people without having to accept outsiders, and it will be interesting to see what action can be taken to move these families back to the places from which they came. There is another angle to the question. Between thirty and forty families are rep- resented in the lists from the schools. These have moved into Oshawa since the present school term was started. What brought them here? Did they secure em- ployment in Oshawa industries in prefer- ence to Oshawa men who are unemployed? That is another aspect which would be worth following up. If they are working, it may mean that they have come here and secured employment which might have been given to Oshawa men. Both of these angles of this question are of vital importance, and should be the subject of investigation so that Oshawa may protect itself against being victim- ized by people who have no legitimate claim on this municipality. Fine Co-operation One of the interesting points in connec- tion with the Public Welfare Campaign is the splendid spirit of co-operation which has been shown by organizations and in- dividuals in arranging entertainment and other events in aid of the fund. There have been plays, theatre shows, bridge parties, concerts, dances and other func- tions, and by the time that all of those scheduled have heen held, the welfare fund should benefit to a very considerable ex- tent. { This kind of co-operation is valuable be- cause it places at the disposal of the wel- fare board funds which would not be se- cured in any other way. Many people who feel that they cannot afford to make a direct contribution would not be averse to spending ten or twenty-five cents for a ticket for these events, knowing that thev would be helping a worthv cause. While individually, each event may not bring a considerable amount of money. yet the cumulative result should run into a very substantial sum, and the work of the welfare hoard he greatlv helned there- by. We commend these entertainments and social events to the public, knowing that they are being held in a most worthy cause. : The Passing of the Woodshe( "It is rather odd, when you stop to think about it, that no one has paid much atten- . tion so. far to the passing of one of the greatest and most distinctive of all Amer. ican institutions-----the woodshed," says the Bowmanville Statesman, which adds: "A very few years ago the woodshed was a nrime feature of all American homes--ex- cept, of course, those of the wealthy, who don't count, anyhow. But, today it is well on the road to extinction. The farmer, to be sure, still has his; but will he keep it { long, what with the spreading of gas mains, electric power lines and synthetic gas tanks to the rural regions? This, in a way, is too bad; for the woodshed had its points. It was not only a good place to keep and split wood. It was an indispensable, all-round handy room; a place where odds "and ends of things could be stored, a place 'where the head of the house if handy with tools, could make such gadgets as window | | screens and trellises for the rose bushes, a | [] place where junior could park his bicycle and sister could keep her doll buggy. In other words, it was an exceedingly usefu adjunet: to the house. Some day some as- , tute real estate man will make a big suc- cass by tacking one of these little extra réoms on every house he builds. ay * SN SP ; ' i Accidents and Compensation Duting. November 'there were 3,927 'ace ccidents reported to The: Workmen's Com-. pensation, Boayd, a decrease of. 115 from: the number reported during Octoher. The total accidents reported for November is the smallest number in more than ten years. The fatal accidents numbered 18, as compared with 82 in October. The total benefits awarded amounted to $449,162.63, of which. $389,409.31 was for compensatiof and $59,753.32 was for medical. aid. \. ** 3 This brings the total number of acci- dents reported: to date this year to 38,510, as compared with 48,806 for the same per- iod of 1931, and the benefits awarded amount to $4,696,936.15, as comnared with $5,537$656.54 for the corresponding period of 1931. sditorial Notes Tonight "will tell whether Oshawa has seen it through Returns for the welfare campaign have been very slow in coming in, but we are still confident that Oshawa will go over the top as it always has done, The premier's assurance of added protec tion for property-owners in danger of los ing their homes will be welcomed by man citizens of Oshawa, ritain and France must pay their wai debt instalment on December 15, but tha by no means is a final decision as to the future disposition of war debts.

Thi 1s an argument that will ap- peal to most people Fears Railway Bill No Solution He expr d doubt as to whether the railway bill now before parlia- ment could achieve its objects, say- ing it had ibeen challenged as an interference with the rights of the | private company. [© "It will be apparent," he tontin- f ued, "that a scheme of co-opera- tion arbitration of differences under a system which continues | the parties in competition presents difficulties, and it feared | that «it 'would not econ- | omies which the | tively demands.

For all practical purposes such an agency already existed under the Finance Act, which tor 18 years had admirably performed its, purpose, Furthermore, a "mo- nopoly on the note issues by the government would not increase by a single dollar the amount of cur- rency in the hands of the public, unless the notes were irredeemable and recklessly emitted. As to the outlook, he said there had been a decided turn for the hetter in the Stock Market since June, dur'ng which month it reach- ed its lowest point, but he added: Canada's Good Showing "While the general financial situ- ation is easier, still we have not seen that improvement in general business op in railway car loadings which usually follows within a res- sonable time, Nevertheless T think I can truthfully say that Canada has come through the extreme de- pression and difficulties better than anv other country in a similar cconomic position, We have man- aged to keep well in the middle of the road and must continue to do 50. "We require honest and efficient leadership in our railway policy for the future, as this is our most serious problem. We must continue to safesuard our financial and economic position to the very limit of our ability, hoping that the turn for the better is not far off and that the long road of depression will soon come to an end, with our country quickly responding because of the general soundness of our position," Debt and Taxation Dominion, Provincial and Muni- i funded debts have increased nea:ly cight-fold in the past two decades, the bank president said, and now there was an annual levy of a quarter of a billion dollars Dominion and Provincial - Govern- ment obligations alone. Goviornment Cost Business Factor "It is a new cxperience for Can- ada," he said, "to Le confronted by the fact that the cost of govern- ment has become a major factor in the cost of doing business." Ex pro sing the belief that if govern ment were confined to its appro priate functions a large scaling down of expenditures could be ef- fected, he continued: "There is a disposition in many quarters to look to the goverriment, both local and federal, tor bounty in one form or less my er c« system money 1 Qt a States < its fact and 15 to be effect the situation impera- | | de- nother, but it should be remem- ced tha government of itself coduces rin: The funds it dis- arses are Jd levy on the business tivities of the people, no matter hat form ta.ation may take, and ec heavier the burden the greater ie difficulty of business revival," In this connection he referred articularly to the railway situa- on, saying public ownership of sore than half the railway mileage if Canada had increascd the burden n and complicated fed- The Canadian Na- i Vi he declared, were costing > people of Canada $10,- 000.000 ; Va On th * hand was the Cana- dian Pacific Railway, with a capital of 31,100,000,000, payment of inter- est on which" depended entirely on py C.H.

Therefore, while the dividend is 10 per cent, as a matter of fact it works out on the total amount which he sharehold- ers have invesed in the Bank at a figure which is less than one-half this rate.
