Laying stress upon local and district news items it has given a service second to none in the community and at the same time arousing a new community spirit. . It has been suggested, and we believe the point is well taken, that residents of the rural areas in which The Times- Gazette has correspondents can do much to improve the calibre and volume of the mews of their 'particular com- munity if they will co-operate with the correspondent in the preparation of news budgets. No doubt you have often heard the remark: "There is little news in the column this week" or "It isn't worth reading." You can remedy such situations by lending a hand. Give your correspondent a call when you have visitors or when something you feel is of interest occurs. Perhaps your correspondent did not know about it. Every item will tend to make the news of the community more complete and interesting. The Clean-Up Season While many householders lapse into a state of inertia during the warm summer days, the invigorating days of autumn bring new energies which result in outdoor activity. This is the season of the year for the raking of leaves from lawns and the cleaning up of the garden and the preparation "of flowers and shrubbery for the cold days of winter. This is an important season in the garden. By the exercise of care the gardener can do much to assure him- self of better produce the following year. It is not often fealized that the eggs of next year's insects and pests now repose in the dead or dying vegetation in gardens and vacant lots. Some gardeners adopt the practice of building compost piles which will eventually provide fertilizer for the garden and flower bed. Whether this policy is followed is optional but if a compost pile is not built, the garden should be cleared of all the stocks and vines as well as leaves. These should be burned. This is also a very good time to look after the cleaning up of vacant lots so as to prevent the growth of weeds next year. A Solace For Thousands Most men when they pass to their reward after passing ' the age of four score years are mourned by comparatively few persons because the majority of those who knew them and their work have already departed this life. Such cannot be said of John H. Nicholson, last of the three founders of the Gideons, who died on Saturday last at Beloit, Wisconsin, at the age of 86. While his name may not have been widely known the organization which he helped found is known the world over. Founded at Janesville, Wisconsin, on July 1, 1899, the Gideons have placed 1,500,000 Bibles in hotel rooms throughout the world. It will never be known how many thousands have turned for solace to the Bible on their bed- side table or how many have found their way to God through the reading of His truths, reading to pass an idle moment. Your Last Chance We would again draw the attention of our readers that this is the second week of the Oshawa Community Chest campaign. The drive had an objective of $55,000 to raise funds to make possible the continuance of the work of 16 local organizations. The campaign was to have ended last Saturday but due to the fact that the objective was far from attained it was decided to continue it for another week. Were you one of those who thought this figure would be secured without any trouble and therefore refrained from lending a helping hand by making a contribution toward it? You must now realize it was not so easy after all. Though your individual contribution may not be large it is the many small gifts which together go to make the large total possible. If you have not given do so now without delay before it is too late. Don't wait for the other fellow to do it or wait for an opportune: moment. Make a special effort to contact cam- paign headquarters as soon as possible. Remember, this your campaign and the part you play in it will bring a feeling of participation in the good work being done throughout the community. + : ® From Readers QUOTES ATR ASSESSOR'S VIEWS ON STREET EXTENSION Editor Times Gazette Dear ir: . It is with interest that I read the report in your paper relative to the discussion, at the Council meeting last Tuesday, regarding the pro- posed transfer of property with the Charlton Transport Limited. It was, with particular interest, to me to read about the intimation of Alderman Cay, that the late as- sessor, Mr. Luke, had originally proposed obtaining from Mr. Charl. ton, land necessary for opening Richmond St. and giving in ex- change the land running freem the east of his property to the proper- ties on the west side of Cadikac Ave, N. As one of the taxpayers of long- er duration in the area, I cannot quite understand this intimation, because back in 1943, during the assessment period, in conversation | with Mr. Luke, he most empha- tically stated his proposals relative to the disposition of the property east of Charlton's and west of Cad- illac Ave. His proposal at that time was, "To open up a street directly north of 94 Cadillac Ave. N, to run westward to the easterly limits of the Charlton property, with lots facing north and south thereon, with Colborne St. to be treated likewise, and then to open Rich- mond St. to serve this area, which up to then was, and still is, isolat- ed from the rest of the city". As recently as this year, a re- quest was made to the city to pur- chase the lot north of 94 Cadillac Ave, N. This was granted, and la- ter refused, on the grounds that the property in question was required for the street referred to above Again shortly before Mr, Luk's death, in conversation with him, there seemed no change, whatso- ever, in his attitude to his original proposal for the utilization of this parcel of land, and the opening up of this area. It seems rather unfortunate, that a reflection should be cast on the trustworthiness and ability, as an asessor, of the late Mr, Luke, who was held in very high esteem by his many friends and the Province in general, Again, if Alderman Cay's intima- tion should be correct, it would hardly seem good wisdcm on the part of the Council to sanction any property exchange, wherein, the city would lose so much in doing so. This exchange, which Alderman Cay intimated, Mr. Luke proposed, would give three acres of land, and would receive about one quarter of an acre in return, for the privilege of opening up Richmond St. I hard- ly believe that Mr, Charlton's busi- ness acumen would permit him to pass up such a lucrative proposi- tion, do you?

Dear Sir: I am in favor of a thir- teen month year calendar, four weeks in each month, and a holi- day Christmas Day extra. Then the half and quarter of the year can easily be reckoned in weeks, no days to bother about, nothing could be simpler and Christmas Day should be celebrated on the proper date--December 22--as it has been celebrated as the beginning of long- er days for thousands of years. That it why they celebrated Jesus Christ's birthday on that day, With that a holiday, then Leap year an- other holiday, on the 23rd of June. That would give us the two halves of the year and the Vernal and Au- tumnal equinoxes could be more easily remembered as the quarters of the year, March 21, September 23. It seems strange to me that so many of the people of the world are interested in a calendar and not interested in a universal language, as a universal language is the most needed social improvement in the world, yet fifty-three meet and none interested in that. We will never get anywhere until we get a universal language and teach psy- chology; with these two improve- ments hundreds more will follow. A. E. FISHER.
