" Elie RICHMOND HILL. 0N1. APRIL 29, 1915 EDFTFQEEEéL Conservatives are divided in the advisability of holding a general el- ection during the war. The World favors a June election, but The Evening Telegram opnoscs the scheme. saying “An election in 1015 is undesirable, unnecessary and would be utterly devoid of party advantage. to the Borden Governâ€" ment.” Many of our citizens are naturally asking “What has become of our Ratepayers Association ?” A year or two ago many important questions were discussed, and the Council and other bodies were pleased to receive suggestions. A word of advice or caution from a body representing the whole village should always be worthy of consideration. A public meeting was held in To- ronto, Friday evening to protest against the holding a general elec- tion at the present time. Among the speakers were Professor Wrong of Toronto University, Chancellor Bowles, and many other prominent men and women. A resolution, after an intelligent discussion, was carried unanimously, and a copy was sent to Premier Borden, and also to Sir Wilfrid Laurier. The general opinion seemed to be that to bring on an election at the present time would be not only foolish but dangerous. We have our hands full new fight- ing the enemy; would it not be cruel to make people fight their friends, even for party advantage?

Baltl win of Toronto gaâ€"ve an instructive talk on growing vegetables and flowers. and he could not have had a more altent ire audience. After the meeting Mr. Galbraith took a photograph of the children and this will be shown at their next meeting. *0~â€"â€"â€"â€"â€" Jefferson P. S. report for Following is the the month of April.
