FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1940 Combined Campaign For Funds Once again Oshawa will be called upon to do her share in the call for funds to help win the war. This time all appeals will be combined in one huge campaign to be stag- ed during the first week in October. Effic- iency will be the kéy-note of the campaign and everyone will have an opportunity to help according to their individual ability. The idea of a co-operative drive, instead of a large number of individual appeals, has been under consideration for some time and whenever mentioned has always met with instant approval. It is felt that the old haphazard system was very unsatisfactory, both to the various committees and also to the public. So much depended upon local conditions at the time an appeal was made, the strength of the organization and the size of the budget required. Even the most willing givers became honestly confused and the most patient and untiring workers found it impossible to give the amount of time necessary over and over again. There is not the slightest doubt but that a com- bined appeal, on the community chest basis, will prove far more satisfactory all round. A strong committee has been set up, headed by Mr. George W. McLaughlin, who has gladly agreed to give all the time neces- sary to the effort. Sub-committees will deal with different phases of the campaign and the canvassing work will be well or- ganized with a host of enthusiastic work- ers, both men and women. The list of war and local charities, which appears elsewhere in this issue, includes all those which have made individual ap- peals during the past year and two or three others which were slated but crowded out of the picture because it seemed impossible to find a place for them. With this repre- sentative and worthy list to present it would seem that the success of the cam- paign should be assured. Certainly no one will be able to say that any particular object in which they may be specially in- terested, has been overlooked. They are all worthy and all deserving of support so for once everyone will have an opportunity of including all of them through a single gift. The total objective will be announced short- ly but we understand it will be between $80,000 and $85,000 and of this amount seven-eighths will go directly for war work. Let us all get under the load and lift all we can. ' Toronto-Oshawa Highway Should Be Completed The recent opening of the Queen Eliza- beth Way,. which is now completed from Toronto to Niagara Falls, marks the com- pletion of one of the finest pieces of road building to be found anywhere on this continent. It will shift heavy traffic from some particularly dangerous pieces of road that have been the scene of numerous fatal and near-fatal accidents. It disposes of a number of heavy grades and sharp curves. It provides a safe approach to the western entrance to Toronto and its fine lakeshore drive. It also takes care of the growing traffic to Muskoka by means of a clover leaf connection with the new northern road which makes it unnecessary for north- bound travellers: to enter and go through Toronto. We think the Provincial Govern- ment is to be commended for completing this very important highway, which should be of considerable value for military as well as civilian use. . The next important job should be the completion of the new King's Highway No. 2 between Oshawa and Toronto. This road already extends from Toronto easterly to - the Highland Creek. ' The entrances to the City have been completed. The dual bridges over the Highland Creek valley are in order. A great deal of the grading is finished and most of the culverts have been constructed. It would be by no means an insurmount- able task to finish the job and put this road into use by the Fall of next year, and we strongly believe this should be done. We doubt if there is any section of high- way of equal length in the province that is the scene of more serious accidents in the same length of time than the stretch be- tween Oshawa and Highland Creek. It is a busy piece of road any day, or night for that matter, and on Sundays and Holidays it resembles an evacuation scene such as we have read about in recent weeks during the Hun drive throtigh the Low Countries' and France. ; : We would not like to think that the resi- dence of Hon. T. B. McQuesten, in the fair city of Hamilton, had anything to do with the completion of Canada's finest dual highway connecting that city with the United States border and with Toronto, but it might be an idea to invite the Honorable Minister of Highways to come down and live in Oshawa for a few weeks and see for himself the congestion that is a daily occurrence on the piece of road referred to. There is nothing like getting acquainted with conditions such as these at first hand. In view of the large production of war trucks in Oshawa and the roading of these vehicles to Toronto and western points, as well as other military traffic, the com- pletion of this road would be of real help in war-time as well as for the normal freight and passenger traffic which passes over it. Sunday Programs It seems to us it would be an excellent idea if the City Council wouid pass a by- law prohibiting all kinds of Sunday pro- grams, except religious services, without the consent of the Chief of Police. Or, if the same object could be accomplished in some other way, well and good. Certainly there should be some check on organizations which seem to think Sunday is a convenient day for calling a meeting to "view with alarm" whatever they hap- pen to be allergic to and to boost their own particular brand of propaganda. Entertainment, whether on its own ac- count, or as an "added attraction" to the "public meeting" idea, should be reserved for week-days, and the fact that it is offered in exchange for a "collection" in- stead of an admission fee should not make any difference to its appropriateness on the Lord's Day. We firmly believe that one of the things that weakened France and helped bring about her downfall was her neglect of the Christian Sabbath and the generally low moral and religious standard of her people. Let Canada take warning and preserve the day of rest and worship which has been one of the bulwarks of our country since the days of the pioneers. Editorial Notes | Windy days are ahead. First come the equinoctial gales and then the draft. Thank goodness there is no election in the offing. " The girl who blushed every time she was ashamed, has a daughter who is ashamed every time she blushes.--Quebec Chronicle- Telegraph. The Department of National Revenue is advising its officers that Dihydroxy-Alpha- betadiethylstilbene is now made in Canada, and, from the sound of it, it must take a large factory to make it. Droll bit, from the Woodstock Sentinel- Review: "A resident in an English town charged his neighbors a penny each to look down a crater made in his garden by a Ger- man air-raid bomb. The Germans would be surprised to learn that these holes are still a bit of a novelty." A Central Ontario newspaper makes much of the fact that two highly-paid profes- sional hockey players are serving in camp with a militia unit just like any other young men might do. And why not, in- deed? We know of no special services ren- dered by hockey players or any other - athletes which raise them above the level of their fellows when it comes to military service. And that applies equally well to film actors. The London (England) Spectaior credits Canada with having produced a new word, "embus," which appeared under a picture of Canadian soldiers getting on an omnibus. The Spectator conjectures that no doubt when they reached their destination they " 'debussed,' just as on board ship you 'embunk' and then 'debunk' -- or if you don't, why don't you?" But "embus" is neither new nor Canadian. Both "embus" and "debus" are over a quarter of a century old, and are given as "army slang" in the Oxford English Dictionary supplement. It quotes the following from. the I.ondon Times of March 12, 1915: "The words 'em- buss' and 'debuss' (so spelled by the Times) have been consecrated in staff orders. Many is the battalion which has received orders to 'embuss' at dusk at X and 'debuss' at Z." The Golden Text. The presence of the Eres Lord.

The Sunday School Lesson By NEWMAN CAMPBELL (The International Uniform Les. son on, the above topic for Sept. 15 is Psalm 139, the Golden Text being John 14:23, "If a man love Me, rel will keep my words: and My Father will love him, and We will come unto | him, and make Our abode with | Him.") THIS IS our last lesson on the psalms for some time, and th 139th psalm is a beautiful one with | which to close this series of les- sons. We do not know when this psalm was written, only, from its title we know it to be in the time of David; and nothing in the psalm indicates at what place it was writ. ten. It is written in a devout mood, when the psalmist realized how omniscent -- all present -- is God; that the creator of man must know everything about him, his todily makeup, his nature, his soul and spirit. "Thou knowest my downsiitings and mine uprisings; Thou un\sr- standest my thought afar off." Have you ever tried to read an- other person's thoughts? All o'| us have at some time when we were very anxious to get the other's re- | actions to something. Sometimes we can do it very well, too, when | the minds of both of us are occu- pied by the same trend of thought. | But if the person whose thought we | are trying to read does not want us to know what he is thinking, he | can put on a "poker face," a mask of expressionlessness, and we can- not tell what his thoughts are We cannot do that with our Cre- ator. He made us and He knows | how our minds work because He | created every bit of us. If our thoughts are not good, it is a start- ling thing to think that they are known -- a strong incentive to keep our thoughts on higher things. The psalmist's thought goes fur- | ther, to the impossibility of escap- | ing or hiding from the Maker. We can hide from our parents, from our | playmates and friends. We can of. | ten hide from the government for a time, at least, if we have done | enough wrong to warrant police search for us. But from the Maker of all we cannot hide. In most beautiful languages the psalmist il- lustrates this thought: | of the Lord. "Whither shall from spirit? Or whither shall I flee from Thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, Thou art there: If I make my bed in Sheol (hell), behold Thou art there. If I take the wings of the morne ing, I go Thy And dwell in the uttermost parts of | the sea; there shall me, . And Thy right hand shall hold me Even Thy hand lead | If I say: Surely the darkness shall overwhelm me, the light about me shall be night; Even the darkness hideth not from Thee, But the night shineth as the day: The darkness and the light are both alike to Thee." This should be a comforting thought, not a frightening one. God made uy, He knows us -- our weak- ness and strength -- and He is with And us always, in darkness and light, in ! Joy and sorrow Suddenly the psalmist turns from this happy and peaceful thought to | one, seemingly of anger and hatred, urging God to slay the wicked and asserting his hatred for the enemies Thinking of God as love, justice, trutl righteousness it is easy to feel intence anger at the wickedness, hatred, falsehood, cruelty, injustice we see on every hand, We can be filled with love, sympathy and understanding to- ward all men, but feel still a burn- | ing hatred of all this wickedness | Even Jesus showed a righteous anger toward those who defamed God's house, and showed it by driv. ing the cheating money changers from the temple. The last two verses of the psalm are a prayer and an opening of the heart to Jehovah: | "Search me, O God, and know my | heart: = try and know thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting." Our Golden Text is taken from John 14:23, where Jesus answers one Judas, not Judas Iscariot, say- ing: If a man love Me, he will keep My words: and My Father will love him, and We will come unto him, and make Our abode with him." me, my Domestic Exports On The Increase Ottawa, Sept. 13--Canada's do- mestic exports in August rose. to $110,548,015 from $75,559,608 in Aug- ust, 1939, the Dominion Bureau of Statistics reported Wednesday night.

SEE ARGENTINE AIDING BRITAIN | BY WAR CREDIT | Huge Credit For Purchase of Farm Products Under Consideration | Buenos Aires, Sept. 13 -- Sources | cloge to the Argentine Government said yesterday the Ministry of Fin- ance is considering a British re- ; quest for a credit allowance for the purchase of Argentine farm pro- | ducts. | The proposal, these sources sald, calls for a credit ranging from about $22,200,000 to a maximum of about $160,000,000, but the exact amount would have to be determined by ne- | gotiation. Guarantees which appear | highly satisfactory accompanied the | proposal, it was said. : | During the last war, Argentina | granted Britain and France a credit for the purchase of cereals, meats | and other farm products. The United Kingdom, Argentina's | | best client, holds an unfavorable | trade balance with her for the first seven months of 1940. Official sta- tistice show that during this time Britain purchased Argentine pro- ducts 'valued at about $95,400,000, while Argentina imported British goods valued at about $42,000,000.

Investi- gations will be directed into the conduct of the parents whom the Premier felt, are responsible for "coaching" their children. "It's manifestly unfair to ask the taxpayers of Ontario to furnish funds to educate children who are openly disloyal," the Premier de- clared. "Undoubtedly the children are being coached by some one and efforts will be made to find out who is advising them to take such an at- titude. The Premier directed Attorney General Conant to institute the in- vestigations, and an officer of the C.ID. was assigned to the case by Provincial = Police = Commissioner Stringer. Hamilton Board May Prosecute Hamilton, Sept. 13 -- The Board of Education considered last night the advisability of commencing prosecution of the parents of 13 Hamilton school children who have been denied the privilege of attend. ing city schools because they re- | fused either to salute the flag or sing the National Anthem. "We have not as yet asked the Crown Attorney to take action, but the matter will be discussed by the full Board," R. H. Foster business administrator of the School Board said yesterday. Since the re-opening of the fall term, principals have been instruct- ed to take firm action against chil- dren who refused tc participate in patriotic exercises, and one by one the children have been sent home until the total stood yesterday at 13 expelled students Their parents are said to be members of the now outlawed Jehovah's Witnesses sect, and school authorities understand that the children acted on the in- struction of their parents. Dr. W. L. Whitelock, chairman of the School Board, said he believed action should not stop with ousting the children. The parents were prin- cipally to blame, the chairman felt, Crown Attorney George W. Ballard is himself a school trustee and therefore is familiar with the situ=- ation after last night's discussion. Some trustees favor prosecution of the parents either under the De- fence of Canada Regulations or un.' der legislation covering contribut= ing to juvenile delinquency. Debate Installation Of Traffic Lights Port Hope, Sept. 13 -- Traffic and parking problems were discussed by Port Hope Board of Trade. As the council is again consider- ing installation of stop lights, the board recommended that stop lights working in conjunction with the John and Walton streets intersec- tion and Ontario and Walton streets be installed. The problem of park- ing on John street was discussed, and it was pointed out that the town council was dealing with the matter. It was drawn to the attention of the Board of Trade that some mer- chants are not complying with the closing hours on Saturdays and Wednesday afternoons. SERVICES CITY CHURCHES IN THE SIMCOE ST.
