What Makes A Town “ What makes a town? Is it the wealth evidenced by the homes and the splendid store buildings?” These may attest the stability and thrift of certain people, but they offer no great inducements to commercial and moral proâ€" gress. Is it the spirit of good order and law enforcement? This is a factor only. The sleepiest old hamlets that dot the country may have this spirit in rank abundance. Is it the schools and churches? May their number ever increase but they don’t make a townâ€"they only culture it. Is it the geographical location, the character of the country surâ€" .rounding, the natural advantages? None of these are es- sential. Well, what is it that makes a town anyway? Just one thingâ€"the unity of the people, the existence of a com- mon bond which causes all to put aside all differences when it comes to boosting the town. No town ever made real progress in the way of substantial success without the get- together spirit unanimously adopted. It has rejuvenated old hulks of towns that were yawning their way into end- ? 7,4. .1: LL,» Ulu uunno UL v n; u . .. V--- less sleep. It has infused new blood into the heart of the ‘commercial life and made thriving cities out ofparalytic villages. Natural advantages count for much and pros- perity cannot be built upon shifting sand, but any town with half a chance can be made to grow and expand and thrive when its citizens join with one accord in the boosting program. Come nowâ€"let’s put it into practice. Rules For Success “If I were asked to name the most important things that lead to a successful life,” Charles M. Schwab is quoted in the Business Woman as saying, “I should say, first of all was integrity, unimpeachable integrity. No one can ever do anything of‘ great value in life, and have the confidence and\approval of his fellow men, or be successful in his unâ€" dertakings with other business people, if he does not have the reputation of being a man of honor and integrity. This is the very foundation of a successful life. k “Another important thing is loyalty. Be loyal to the nonnlp with whom vou associate at the start.

Make your employer feel that you are sincere with him; that you are to promote his interests; that you are going to stand for the things he represents, and that will reap you a richer reward.

What a marvellous transformation would take place if men and women would cease worrying.

Plowing is one of the fundamentals of agriculture, and yet altogether too little attention is paid to perfecting the art on the average farm. Perhaps nothing helps more to stimulate interest and demonstrate how this important work should be done, than the plowing match, and for this reason the match which will be held by the King and Vaughan Pldwmen’s Asociation on November 5th should Venus A a..vn receive the wh farmers. AAuu ‘ole-hearted supfibrt of the rank and file of "an “AV . --V- -___V,,, J - v I, in Richmond Hill?” was the question asked the town fathers at their regular meeting on Monday night. Other towns get them because they go after them and are on the job twenty-four hours a day, three hundred and sixty-five days in the year looking for prospects. The municipal canâ€" didate for 1927 who can promise an aggressive effort to secure industries for Richmond Hill need only worry about the size of his majority. At last the announcement has been made that the Provincial Election will be held on‘December lst. Premier Ferguson has mentioned several issues in his official dec- laration‘but undoubtedly the battle will be Ioughtlon the liquor question. In our opinion it is unfortunate that a strictly moral issue such as this, should have to be decided in the heat of a political campaign but the government has decided and it now remains for the people to express their opinion at the polls. We sincerely hope that in the heat of the fight the workers on both sides do not forget the everyâ€" day courtesies of life. Let us be at all times courteous to those Whose opinion may differ from ours, for after all courtesy is merely the habitual exercise of a keen appreciaâ€" tion of the feelings of others.

' ‘ During the past years the need for school buildings has advanced so rap- idly that the various school boards have found difficulty in keeping pace with developments. The seating of the various schools is a followsâ€"â€" Baron Renfrew school, York Mills room for eighty pupils wit ‘ a roll of 72; Lansing school, room for 385 pu- pils with a roll of 371; Willowdalc school room for 221 pupils with a roll of 217; Newtonbrook four port- ables and the main school full; Thornhill school, room for 150 pupils with a roll of 105; Langstafl" new school with room for 305 pupils with a roll of about 285. Already at Finch’s corner property is being op- tioned for a new four room school. There is a large increase in atten- dance at Richmond Hill High School and the recent decision that County pupils cannot attend city schools has broughtten additional students to the local school and it is fear- ed that when the inspector makes his annual visit he will declare the school to be at capacity The local board hoWever, welcomes all outside pupils and when the time come“ that the school is full, ample provision will be made somehow. It is felt that if the increase continues from year to year a new wing will have to be built.

Over one hundred and twerity North York High School pu- pile are going outside of the town- ship. Whitehurch Township council met at Vandorf, Saturday, Sept. 25th, with all members presen’g.

After the Chicken Thief Some efforts should be made by the rural districts around Toronto to put a stop to the chicken stealing. Within the radius of thirty miles of the city case after case is reported, first in Peel, then in York and also in Ontario County. From reports it the city case after case is reported, first in Peel, then in York and also in Ontario County. From reports it would appear that three or four young men travel together, park their car on a convenient highway, visit the chicken Coops, and after “quieting” the birds with sulphur fumes, pack them in suit cases and hike back to their car.
