HAP A delightful time
other day browsing through h
September 27, 1930 copy of the
. Toronto Daily Stea.'. I couldn’t
‘help noticing how similar the
news coverage of that .era was
to the- headline stories today.
Let me .show you.
“Whitby town council ’ at a
special meeiing last night call-
ed to consider the local un
employment and relief situa
tion, decided to ask the federal
government for a share of the
$20,000,000 unemployment relief
•fund/ and for. a portion of- the
money which js expected to be
expanded on straight relief.”
"North York Reeve James
Muirhead pointed- out that the
north
area
"Out tric-t, JI . ., _ „
"•by the health authorities as,
unsanitary,” he told the dela-
gation.” *
"Following. two accidents in
x Oshawa yesterday, Mike Galan’
of. ■ Peterborough faces two
■charges of reckless driving.”
* • ' S.I
BUT THERE were ..other re-
-ports in the ediitton that caused
me to look twice, like this one:
.!'Magisterial opinion concern-'1
ing the present 20-mile spe'ed
limit in York Township, about
which . complaints have come
to The Star, is to' ’ the effect
that there will be no slacken
ing of present regulations.
Rather will there be more
be more rigid enforcement.”
Or this: "Bread,at six cents
• for a standard size 24-ounce
loaf is to be provided for needy
families in Oshawa under an
arrangement by the Oshiaiwa
■Bakery for distribution in the
districts most seriously affect
ed by the present depression?’
,t * .
EDUCATION officials had
theur troubles too/
Headlines in this particular
edition read, "Fete to show
value of music in schools.
Training started this year in
two. of three Institutions in
'community. To try out system.
Hope to make subject- part of
regtear raurriculum board
divided.” • ■ '..
School affairs’ and race meets
were very much in evidence as
Newmarket, York ■ Township
and Trafalgar Township schools
reported fine efforts on the*
part of students involved.
