TUESDAY, DECEMBER 20th, 1932, i x X A Looking the Situation in ™~ the Face One week from today will be nomina- 'tion day in the Oshawa municipal elec- .tions. One week from today will be placed in nomination the names of citizens of 'Oshawa whose fellow-citizens desire to contest the various municipal offices which 'have to be filled for next year. As never before, the nominating of candidates is a 'serious business, not from the standpoint of having sufficient nominees, for there are usually. plenty of nominations, but from the standpoint of having the right type of 'men put forward as candidates. And, hav- ing been nominated, it is important that these men stay in the field as candidates. , 'As has been mentioned several times 'in these columns, the situation in Oshawa today is one which the citizens must look squarely in the face. The city is in 'a critical condition, and only drastic measures can pull it through. And the 'most important of these drastic measures 'is the election to public office of men who 'are competent to deal with the situation. | Let us look at the situation as it is. We ihave every respect for the present city 'council. They have, within the limits of {their ability, done their best. They have worked hard, have held innumerable meet- ings, and have devoted themselves in a 'self-sacrificing way to the problem of tak- ing care of citizens in want. Their great- est activity, perhaps, has been in connec- ition with relief work. But, important as 'that task has been, we are bold enough to assert that the council should not have | concentrated on that to the exclusion of 'the more important business of grappling 'with the city's financial problem. Apart from two or three members, who did give it careful study and painstaking consideration, the council did not seem to know just what to do, and it was only when the mayor called in the assistance of Geo. W. McLaughlin and number of other citi- zens that a comprehensive and bold study of the situation was made. We do not say that the council was not alive to the dangers ahead. But, looking the situation squarely in the face, even the aldermen themselves should be ready to admit that i they were in water which was too deep for them. We do not say this in any disparag- ing sense. We merely reiterate what we have said before, that men untrained in dealing with big business problems, involv- ing a business with a turnover of over a million dollars a year, men with no knowl- edge of the handling of big business, can- mot be expected to become financial experts overnight. That is the whole problem, and he. present aldermen should be the first 0 admit it. If they are willing to admit it, then the uation should be easy. They should then be willing to see the necessity of lecting, for 1983, aldermen who have the gaining, the experience, and the ability o grapple with big problems in a big way, men who can administer a corporation with ssets of over $5,000,000 in a business-like fashion. That is the type of administra- ion Oshawa needs, and it can only be se- ed by the nomination and election of nen who are accustomed to doing that ind of business. All classes of citizens today need to look , situation squarely in the face, even hose who have been aldermen for the last , And if they can do so with open nds, without prejudice or bias of any nd, then we have no fear of what the itcome will be. There will then be a real Fort to avoid mediocrity in all of Osh- wa's public bodies for next year, and to' ve the city the most business-like and itstanding administrators the city has er had. The citizens as a whole know e seriousness of the situation. It is in eir power to deal with it in a serious anner, and show by their actions on mination day and election day that they » determined te have the situation dealt h by men who are capable of dealing th it in a manner which will have the yv from the danger which threatens it. - Gold Leading The Way he outstanding feature which is to be n in the industrial situation in Canada y is the commanding position which been attained by the gold mining indus. This is one of the few industries 4 which, in production and monetary returns, : is far ahead of its 1981 record. = According to the statistics which are available, the gold production 'of Canada will this year exceed all previous records. For the first nine months of the year, it was six million dollars ahead of 1931. Ontario, which produces 80 per cent of the country's gold, showed an. increase of ten. per cent, while Quebec, which is rapidly coming to the front, had & forty per cent increase over last year. - This increase is due just as much to expansion of established mines as it is to the development. of new properties, al- though, during th mines have been #dded.to the list of gold shippers, three in Ontario, two in Quebec | and one in Manitoba. resent year, six few | Another factor which® helps the gold industry is that the government is paying for gold in United States funds, thus mak- ing available for the operating econipanies a snbstantial premium on all gold shipped. That is one reason why 'the mines are " steadily increasing their output. The re- turns are rich, and gold is thus leading:the ' way to increased activity, and is playing ditions in this country. a definite part in stabilizing business con- Boy Scouts In Ontario The increase in the number of Boy Scouts in Ontario is very gratifying. The annual census shows a total of 23,855, which is an increase of 2,062 over last year. In Toronto alone there are 7,661, an increase of 1,072 aver last year. The ob- ject of the organization is to develop good citizenship among boys. It trains them in habits of observation, obedience and self- reliance. It teaches loyalty to King and Country and thoughtfulness for others, It enables boys to be useful to the public and to themselves. Anyone acquainted with Boy Scouts knows well how far these ideals have been reached. Their conduct is in happy contrast to that of many youths growing up in a period of laxity. There is room for a great extension of the move. ment in this province, and we hope thaf the next census will show another large increase of membership. A new Scout song book entitled "Songs for Canadian Boys," was recently complet- ed after four years' work. The first copy from the presses was presented to His Ex. cellency Lord Bessborough, Governor-Gen- eral and Chief Scout for Canada; the second to Lord Baden-Powell of Gilwell, Chief Scout of the world; and the third to Mr. E. W. Beatty, of Montreal, as president of the Canadian General Council, Boy Scouts Association. In acknowledging his copy Mr. Beatty said: "I have never seen a more comprehensive group of appropriate songs. It is a good thing for the Scout movement in Canada.--Toronto Mail and Empire. pr Editorial Notes Only four more shopping days before Christmas. This is going to be one Christmas season in which no Oshawa family need go cold or hungry. It would be much easier securing candi- dates for municipal office were it not for the fact that arrears of taxes form a dis- qualification. France now has a new government and a new premier, but that is not likely to change the French attitude towards the war debt payments, With litigation now out of the way, the ratepayers of Oshawa can make sure of a new industry by carrying the glass com- pany's fixed assessment bylaw.

Dental Discoverers of 'Diet to Halt Teeth Decay to Sail for China Soon Toronto.--~Dr. R. Gordon Ag- 'new and his wife, hajled as co- discoverers of the specific diet which will preserve teeth, are sailing for Shanghal (na few weeks to resume their work as missionaries in Chengtu, China, it is anounced by tha foreign mission hoard of . the United Church of Canada.

Announcement to the world of their discoveries in regard to the diet needed to check tooth decay was sponsored by Dr. E. V, Mec- 'Collum of Johns Hopkins Unjver- "| sity at a farewell luncheon given in their honor by American gci- entists in New York a few days ago. k Dr. Agnew as a dental patholo- gist made the initial digcovery of the soundness of the teeth of Ti- betans and border tribesfolk while engaged as a teacher of dentistry in the medical-dental faculty of West China Union Uni- versity, a missionary {institution at Chengty in Western China. Mrs. Agnew, a biochemist, an. alyzed the diets of 3,000 Chinese and Tibetans in the college labor- atory at Chenstu. In Toronto lab- oratories she tested her husband's theories by producing dental car- fes (decay) at will in hundreds of rats by diet alone. They next experimented successfully with the diet of 450 children in a To- ronto school. Already leading men in the fleld of nutrition are suggesting the diet best adapted to assuring the quantity of phosporus and of Vitamin D which the Agnew dis- covery requires for preventing or arresting the decay of teeth, Dr. Agnew, who was born in Toronto in 1898, was educated at Humberside Collegiate, Victoria College and the Royal College of Dental Surgeons. Graduated in 1921, he held a research fellow- ship, teaching pathology at the dental college for 2 years and was then accepted as a candidate for the foreign field. He was ap- Pisin to the Chengtu College in 923, which has the only dental department of university grade in China. He is professor of oral histology and pathology. Mrs. Mary C.

This belittles a total of 235 wolves killed in Algoma, with approximate. ly $7,000 paid outwin bounties, ac- cordin' to reports emanating from the Sault. Many Close In Of the number bagged in this dis- trict to date in 1932, were brought down in outlying sections, the hunters makin- "lication for bounty at the offices of various dis- trict magistrates. It was estimated that at least another 125 or in the neighborhood of an average of 10 per month, were bagged in the vici- nity of North Bay. Affidavits for these were taken out in the office of G. M. Parks, district game war n,: With the bounty sey at $25 per wolf, the total" paid out in the dis- trict. this year would be $15,625 Aparnitoly this remuneration, the pelts bring prices ranging anywhere from 50c to $16, depending on the quality, If an average of $5 a pelt was received, the sale of pelts would bring about $3,100, boosting the total monies received by hunters to around: $19,000. Hunting as Job The Jarge number of these ani- mals killed this year, is at least, partly explained by the fact that many hgve taken to the bush intent on killing wolves to secure the $25 bounty, there being little or no chance of obtaining employment in the towns and cities. Probably half those killed in the district this year were timber wolves, the remainder being of the brush variety. From' thé first of the year, the numbers killed in © * '+g sections, applications for bounty on which were made at outside points, were as follows: January 82, February 65, March 82, April 38, May, June and July 77, September and October 73, November 62, and 27 to date this month, Thirty Minutes of World History Given at Glance Vienna.--A young Austrian stu- dent has recently demonstrated be- fore large audiences his own revolu- tionary. invention. This is a mach- ine which makes possible from al- most any vantage-point in time, 3 bird's eye view of world history during the last 5000 years. This student, a Viennese, only 23 years of age, is studying medicine with hist. as a cide-line, The machine consists of two met- al rods, about which a 30-meter- long chart is wound, held erect like a fran.c before the student or spec- tator, On this chart, a coordinated system of tables shows at parallel levels all the important dates of his- torv from 3400 B.C. to 1932 A.D. When correctly manipulated, im- portant dates in world history, cul ture and the art and civilization of any epoch can be instantaneously seen at a glance, In this way, one can look up any date and see at the same time all the contemporary important dates, happenings and personages in any given era. In its final form, this "Histo- graph" will not' be bigrer than a book of normal si.. and is intended to serve all students and scholars for ready reference as and in every library and in every school. The machine will not make fundamental ing a knowledge of cultural epochs, rather than the old-fashioned mech- goieal and tiring memorizing of ates, The nreparation of the 30-meter- long charts necessitated 2 years' work and the reading of 4,000 vol- umes of history. The inventor is now working on special charts for all the different flields of human knowledge. Ai. TAMBLYN FRESH TODAY!

Parig and Vienna have theirs, too, though none of them bave anything to do with Cleo- patra. As a matter of fact, these Bgyptian totem-poles were just little souvenirs casually picked up by Napoleon on his conquest of Egypt a few years ago. What a wonderful attraction for a "human fly"! could resist those shining smooth sur- | taces, that granite grain? Lon- don has stopped the exhibitions of perverse dexterity by "pole- sitters", who found this the ess- fest way of getting out of the depression. And now Vienna has her aspirant to homors as the original obelisk-climber in Aus- tria. A few days ago, out of the turgid stream of humanity pass- ing by the obelisk which stands in Schoenbrunn, Vienna's Ver- sailles, there sprang a man who dashed up the obelisk like step- ping on a toothpick, and kent it from swaying precariously by straddling it with his leus, In the year 1932, there has been a revival of Renaissance largesse of morals and Eliza- bethan candor of speech. So that nobody is now-a-days astonished it a modern English or American poet calls a spade a shovel or re- fers in no uncertain terms to the other facts of existence. In Ger- man there is a phrase which was used by Shakespeare, or words to that effect, and may probably be found by careful examination of the pages of "Tristram Shan- dy", the works of James Joyce, notably "Ulysses" and D, H.

It is an unprintable phrase, commonly rcferred to as the citation from "Goets von Ber- lichingen", an invention .of Goethe's, who himself was never afraid to speak his mind.

He was returned c.0.d., to continue his studies in Goethe, In connection with this episode it may be useful to record that there are many ways of getting a better jib than th- one hand, just as there are many paths for stepping into fame.

Conditions and activities were announced from the committee's office here yesterday as follows: "While the need is not so great as last year, instances of severe suffering have been reported from various sections of the 'dried out' area.

In most centres lo- cal relief committees have been appointed, and women's organiza tions are at work repairing and making over the clothing. Under the arrangements de with the National Emergence lief Committee of 'the' ited Church, the Manitoba churches of this communion have undertaken to look after their own problems without outside assistance. The committee has been extremely ac- tive in Ontario, collecting large quantities of supplies which for the most part were shipped to Baskatchewan, where the need is said to be great this year. The relief work in the southern Saskatchewan areas has been car- ried out for the United church by Rev. Dr. George Dorey, superin- tendent of missions, whose head- quarters are in Regina.
