By WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1940 Stick To Your Local Merchants The Christmas season, which is the high tide of the year in a business sense, is fast approaching. It is true at the present more than any other time that we should make it a point to patronize our local merchants insofar as possible. Oshawa merchants, anticipating the vari- ed needs for the Christmas season, have ordered stocks long months ahead in order to meet the requirements of this commun- ity. They pay local taxes, support local en- terprises and do much to keep the commun- ity alive. Every dollar sent outside the com-' munity which could just was well have been spent with the home merchant weak- ens his chance of meeting competition from mail order firms. Oshawa has always enjoyed an enviable reputation as an excellent town in which to shop. Merchandise in Oshawa stores is pric- ed as reasonably if ndt more reasonably than in the mail order catalogues--and the stocks are equal to anything displayed in towns of similar size and larger. Oshawa merchants are anxious to please and we doubt if you will find a friendlier, solicitous group of businessmen anywhere. They are anxious to please prospective customers from the district and the town itself. Steel in Old War Relics Premier Mitchell F. Hepburn has asked the co-operation of car owners in the col- lection of 1940 motor license plates, the steel in which weighs 300 tons. Might we remind the Premier that in the far corner of Queen's Park rests a rusting relic of the war of 1914-18, serving no useful purpose and forgotten by most everyone. It is not an object of admiration and probably is not even the property of the municipality. All across Canada are similar relics of that world war in which many sons of Can- ada lost their lives. If all these relics were melted down they would make a sizeable amount of steel which could be sent back to Germany in the form of shells and bombs, together with the 300 tons of steel in the 1940 license plates. Most of those out-dated war relics are the property of the Canadian Government, it is understood. Now that Canada is ex- erting every effort to help the Empire in its fight for liberty and freedom, those relics in the form of munitions would make a nice presentation to the Axis dictators. County Finances Make Good Showing Finances of the County of Ontario, due largely to the aggressive leadership of W. M. Letcher, Reeve of Port Perry, Chair- man of Finance for the past three years, are in a very satisfactory condition. Ad- hering closely to the policy of "Pay-as-you- go," together with a determination to un- dertake no large capital expenditures un- less absolutely necessary, the County. is in a strong financial condition and able to meet the financial sacrifices which may be expected of it for patriotic purposes. The bill last year was over $17,000. It will most certainly be more this year. It is encouraging fo note several features of improved county financing enacted dur- ing the past few years. Among them are a very substantial reduction in the debenture debt which provincial® highway expendi- tures boasted a few years ago. The debt today stands at a little over $400,000 and several large payments in 1941, 1942, and 1943, will make a further large reduction. The desirable haven of no indebtédness is in sight, provided the utmost of care is taken in future years to keep expenditures down. ; Two yedrs ago the County Council adopt- ed recomMendations brought in by Mr. Letcher and his committee which gave the county mage insurance protection for a great deal overdue and 'ope which has been copied to 8 money. It was a move long. advantage by the Town of Whitby and other municipalities. In 1987 the county was going financially behind. Today, the picture is the reverse for balanced budgets have been achieved and all expenses met. There is nothing like paying as you go.--Whitby Gazette and Chronicle. Tea and Sugar for Christmas When the despatch came from London last week telling us that the Food Minister is going to make a Christmas gift to the people of England by increasing their al- lowance of tea and sugar, how many of us in Canada realized that we are indeed for- tunate and not feeling the pinch of war as they do in England. Instead of eight ounces of sugar there will be 12 allowed, and in place of two ounces of tea there will be four. There will be a few oranges in Britain for Christmas. Contrast this with the plenty we have in Canada and then we will begin to more fully realize that we should share our boun- ties with those who are fighting our bat- tles, denying themselves meanwhile. We are far too comfortable, far too satis- fied. Perhaps some of this complacency could be knocked out of us if we made more contributions to worthy war causes or by making a sincere effort to aid the govern- ment by purchasing more war savings stamps and certificates. We have been plainly and bluntly told that if> we do not make an effort to save our country we will not have a country to save. Evidently there is one place to start --right on our pay envelopes. If we have to skimp on our favorite dinner dish, on our extravagant tastes, don't forget the people of England are skimping more than we are. And before we do any complaining think of the thousands who are spending the night in air raid shelters while we are resting in comfortable beds. That extra two ounces of tea and four ounces of sugar, if the English people can secure it and pay for it, looks like a mighty small Christmas gift to us in Canada, who are planning a menu of turkey, goose or chicken with all the trimmings. Perhaps we better start counting our blessings while at the same time starting to practise self denial. Italy Cracking Up? More evidence that things are cracking up in Italy is provided through press des- patches. On the heels of the report that the Governor of the Dodecanese Islands is being replaced ,probably by a man who ad- heres more rigidly to the Fascist party doctrine, comes the news that the British have had great success in the first phase of the offensive to drive the Italians from Egypt. The resignation or dismissal of the gov- ernor of the Islands suggests what com- mentators on the radio and in the press have been saying. There is a gulf between the Fascist party in Italy and other strong public elements who lead Italians in their political life. The debacle in Albania has undoubtedly widened this rift. With the Free French forces aiding the British in Egypt and revolting Albanians aiding the Greeks, events in that sector of the war zone may very well prove the turn- ing point in the war. Editorial Notes Today's Christmas shopping "edition is just a reminder that Christmas shopping days are getting fewer and that Oshawa stores provide plenty of opportunities for Christmas purchases. a While a speaker at the recent meeting of the Oshawa Property Owners' Association criticized the action of the council to have three additional traffic lights installed. there are hundreds of others who probably + criticize the council for not having taken the action months ago. -- - The "for rent" columns in Oshawa have bee dwindling for some time despite the recent figures from the assessment depart- ment indicating there were, 18 apartments over stores and "1 apartments in apart- ment buildings were vacant, A sample of rent prices was quoted to The Times today by one person who said that a three- room apartment, without conveniences had been renting for $16 a month, With the ad- dition of "steam heat the price is being boosted to $30.

The newspaper sharply criticized Italians who buy Swiss newspapers and read "enemy communiques and news from English sources," and termed the "poor idots," and "rascals." "These gentlemen who smell of defeatism are those who read our war bulletins with the air of being fed up," the editorial said, "those who know everything, incorrigible rumor mongers who always have something to add when a communi- que of our High Command is read. "They are professional alarmists, prejudiced pessimists, empty-headed and sour-stomached, who still, here and there, spring up, alas, even among us. "Now it is not admissible that | while the real Italians are united in | t the homeland and on the war fron: under Il Duce's orders, ready to face any sacrifice to pluck certain vic- tory, certain ones who take criminal liberties should be left unpunished | "For which reason it seems to us the hour has come to beat them up so it will leave a mark that will not soon be forgotten."
