Net Paid Circulation Average Per Issue Q . # é 3 FOR SEPTEMBER THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1946 AN ew Season Opens With their hopes high that they 'will go through to the Memorial Cup championship, the Oshawa Generals held their first practice on Monday of this week. Always close to the hearts of local and district hockey fans, this year's edition of the Oshawa Hockey Club will be no exception as the advance ticket sale is already well above average. The Generals, year in and year out, have enjoyed the loyal and almost undivided support of the fans in the com- munity to an extent seldom surpassed anywhere. While their support has been rabid at times, it is such that the good plays of opposing teams win applause. Win, lose or draw, the Generals have provided good publicity for Oshawa. The name of the city and its main industry would not have secured such wide recognition were it not for the fine type of sportsmanship displayed by the team over a period of years. On the eve of another season it is only fitting to wish the team success as it starts anew the six-month campaign which everyone here hopes will culminate in the bringing | of the highest honor at their command to repose for another year in Oshawa. The Joy in Labor We were very much struck with a letter which appeared in the Saturday edition of the Toronto Evening Telegram, from the pen of a former newspaper woman who has been in Britain for ten years and has now returned to her home city. After reviewing in some detail some comparisons, mostly domestic, between the Mother Land and her beloved Canada, telling of some of the sacrifices being made in Britain and the very favorable conditions evident on every hand in this land of plenty, the writer tells of a visit she made to familiar rural spots not so far from the city which have undergone great changes. She has witnessed a great trans- formation in close-in farm lands upon "which hundreds of small homes are being built, many of them by ex-servicemen, and despite the great turmoil in labor ranks today. She is convinced that there is still a joy in labor, and that free fam- ily enterprise and initiative are not dead. She says "The little houses springing up on a bare lot, taking all the spare time and effort of a man and his family, gives one some assurance that men are not yet robots. That they still cling to natural things and that there is still joy in labor." The little places that are finished look secure and independent and loved by their owners. They have neat lawns and flower beds and shade trees with tables and chairs and swings under them. Out at the back a few chickens roam and a not-too-new-and- fashionable car stands ready to take the family to town. I even saw a cow or two and a litter of pigs. This is my country, This is what I came home to see. The spirit of family enterprise which has always characterized Canadians, The free clear air. . . the wide blue heavens... the leaves on the turn and that soft haze which always hangs over the land- scape in September and October. And all the ordinary citi- zens busy about their lawful occupations. This is what the great legion of the white cross gave their lives to preserve. Could all this be wrecked and destroyed by some new ideo- logical faction? Is some new form of Fascism raising its ugly head in our midst? Things I heard on the way home made me wonder." Go by T.C.

Cs a a ; Ee 77 ~Carmack in The Christian Science Monitor Strike One! ® 30 Years Ago 7 There was a time before the war, when 90 per cent of our playthings for children came from Germany, Japan, Great Britain or the United States. But as a result of the war, conditions have changed. According to an article in a recent issue of the Commerce Intelligence Journal, Canada now is among the foremost producers of toys and other play- things, ranking in importance with the United States and Great Brit- ain, It's an 18-million-dollar indus- try, and has grown to at least four times its pre-war size. The rapid rise of the toy indus- try is a combination of war-born eircumstances, and of Canadian in- dustrial aggressiveness. No toys were received from Germany or Japan, of course, and the supplies from the United States and Great Britain were cut to a trickle by shiping restrictions and foreign ex- change controls, The field was open for Canadian manufacturers, and they jumped into it. There were about 50 toymakers in Canada in 1939, and now the number is close to 250, Each year now they get together for an an- nual "Canadjan Toy Fair" held last year in Toronto and scheduled Canada's Toy Industry Grows (Stratford Beacon-Herald) for Montreal next Spring. The ex- hibits include everything from toy balloons, dolls, Christmas tree dec- orations and games to larger toys like scooters, tricycles and steel fire engines. There was a time when most of the toys you saw in Canadian stores were designed for a quick sale at low prices, There was no particular attention paid to their play-value, as the psychologists like to call it. But Canadian manufac- turers have seen the importance of this new trend, and, by producing a better quality product with a de- finite educational value, have as- Suton themselves of a lasting mar- et, With a firm foothold in the local market, the Canadian toymakers are now looking abroad. At last year's trade show, there were buy- ers on hand from the United States, British West Indies, Great Britain, the Latin-American coun- tries, Newfoundland, South Africa, Sweden and others. When the bar- riers on foreign commerce come down a bit, Canadian toy manufac- turers should be doing thelr share to help this country win markets abroad, PLAN TO RESTORE FRANKKLIN HOUSE London, --(CP)-- The Brtish Society for International Under- standing has launched an appeal for fuds to restore its headquarters, the Craven Street house where Benjamin Franklin lived from 1757 to 1775.

A by- stander informed him that the old fellow had already passed his one hundredth birthday. Impressed, the stranger exclaimed: "Isn't that amazing." "We don't see nothing amazin' 'bout it round here,' was the la- conic reply, "All he's done is grown old--and he took longer than most people would to do that!" Who Cares? A man returned to his native vil- iage after being away for thirty years and knocked on the door of his sister s house, "Hallo, Mary!" he said, when his sister opened the door. "I'm your brother Fred." "Well, what do you want?" she asked crossly.

"I thought I told you to keep away from here," smiled Bob. "My dear, I never see you any more, since you turned the cellar into # shop," protested Ethel. "If a cop were to ask me where you were on the night of the 17th, I wouldn't even have to think. What a lovely table, Bob! Who's that for?" "It was to be a surprise for your birthday, but you see what you get for snooping. I've put in every free night for three weeks on it, but I've never been so happy in my life. For years I figured I couldn't afford the tools and the lathe and stuff. But when we got down to a budget that looked after our life insurance and other essentials first, I'saw I could indulge myself and do a bit "of tinkering."
