WE DELIVER Burnett Avenue Vi ill Be l’aved. Expect That It Will Be Completed This Fall Although a petition‘has been filed with the North York Township Counâ€" cil since March 1925, petitioning for a permanent pavement on Burnett Avenue, Lansing, from Yonge Street to Walker Road, it did not seem to reap any successful results until re- cently as October 21st, when a special session of Council was called to consider the advisability of pro- ceeding with its construction W. W. Anderson, 3rd Deputy Reeve and Councillor Carson were absent, at this special session. On a motion from 2nd Deputy Scrace. seconded by lst Deputy Muirhead, Reeve Hicks giving the casting vote, By-Law 402 was passed providing for the constr- uction of a permanent pavement. The Warren Bituminous Paving Company was awarded the contract at an esti- mated cost of 813.000. Since the pas- sing of the By-Law. a protest in the form of a letter had been received by Council. and signed by fourteen non-residents and Mortagees of the Willowdale Arena Company question- ing the legality of the Special Session and protesting against the construc- Radios C. 5 Console Model The Leader in the Radio Field \‘ 1926 . tron of pavement.

When the government sets a special day for Thanks- giving it doesn’t‘mean that we should confine our thanks to that day, by any means. It is rather as a day of reckoning, of balancing our books and adding up our blessings. Some people may think that this! year there is very little to be / thankful for, for the rain all fall has surely played havoc with the farmer’s plans. There are crops still in the field, potatoes not dug, threshing is late, corn had to be cut by hand, there is very little fall wheat planted. the prospects for fall plowing are very poor, and so on through a long list of grievances. These are all disastrous in their way but nothing is ever so bad that it might not be worse and we should be thankful that the things that haven't happened haven’t happened. There are districts in the United States Where flooded rivers have ruined entire crops, have flooded barns and dwellings, and animals and people have lost their lives. Our rainy season is a small trouble compared with that. Then we should be thankful, when we read in the papers of the terrible destruction caused by tornadoes and earthquakes, that we don’t live in the zone where such things occur. Then we must be thankful every day of every year ,that we live in a country of religious and political freedom. Over three hundred’ years ago the Pilgrim Fathers came to North ‘America in order to obtain religious freedom, to be able to worship God according to the dictates of their own hearts, Many of us in this country today are direct des- \cendants of those sturdy pioneers and: we still keep the Thanksgiving which they instituted so many years ago. As we view things today they had not much to be thankful for. The hardships which they endured are re- counted in many books, their struggle to obtain a living from the wilderness, their continual dread of raids by the ‘Indians their fights with wild animals which carried off what little stock they could raise. All these things have gone .. into the past but they left us one most important thingâ€" their Thanksgiving Day. So let us balance/ our books and see what blessings have been poured forth upon 111â€" many more than We deâ€" serve in most cases. We may not have wealth but we have health and there is no question as to which of the two is more desirable. Our crops may not be in particularly good shape but everybody has something, our barns may not be as full as usual but at any rate the barns are still there; it would have been worse if we had been burned out and had neither crops nor barns. The corn borer has wrought destruction in some districts but it is rapidly being brought under control and anyway it isn’t as bad as if our cattle had developed the dreaded foot and mouth disease! Things might easily be worse. And if we still think we have been btdly treated it won’t hurt each one of us to stop and think'for a minute, “well, who am I, anyway, to think that trouble should pass me by. Others have their doubts and surely I am not of so much importance that I shouldn’t carry my share of the load.” It is so In ‘ch easier to ask for things than it is to re- member to say ‘thank you.” Did you ever watch a crowd of children ats‘jng for samples at the Exhibition? How they hold out eager hands, shouting “Gimme one, mister, please gimme one.” How the fortunate ones move on gloat- ing over the treasures which they have obtained for nothing and hbw er s 3 and angry are those who how not obtained any. Aren’t yr} likq that, too? Holding iout our hands to God askingâ€".Lskingâ€"asking for benefits, often undeserved. and then turning away without even a “Thank you.” Let us remember to be thankful every day of our lives and never take our blessings for granted. â€"__â€"._...._________ THE NEWTONBROOK PLANET Newtonbrook, Ont, Octbber dist, Diamonds are only chunks of coal That stuck to their jobs, you see. If they’d petered out, as most of us do, . Where would the diamond be? It isn’t the fact of making a start, It’s the sticking that counts, I'll say; It’s the fellow that knows not the meaning of fail, But hammers and hammers away. Whenever you think you’ve come to the end, And you’re beaten as bad as can be; Remember that diamonds are chunks of coal That stuck to their jobs, you see,â€"Anon. Thats the lesson for Temperance People to-day. Don’t peter out on the job but stick to it and you’ll win. It is well to remember, however, that the enemy is nothing if he is not clever and the old deceiver is again tempting you with money profits and reduced taxes. Before being hoodwinked by all these seductive promises of Government Control,, wise voters will see how it has worked in other Provinces that have had it. Government Control says that it will get the profits of the business that the bootleggers now get. Is It to be expected that the bootleggers who have cheated the Government under the O. T. A. are going to turn honest under G. C.? Especially when they can get liquor easier to carry on their business. The Mayor of Vancouver City, acording to the Vancouver “Sun,” says. “There is lots of bootlegging We know and so does the attorney-general. It will continue as long as the Government sells liquor for a profit.” The same things are said in Quebec and other G. C. Provinces. Bootlegging flourishes under G. C. And that is not the worst. No one. not even the big brewers,in his business is ready to play the game straight. The liquor business is not only unscrupuloust selfish but crooked t0 the limit. Every brewery in Manitoba was convicted in 1032 and all but one in January. 1926. 61.5 per cent. of all beer manufactured in Manitoba in 1925 was Illegally disposed of. All liquor interests are for G. C. and chiefly for two reasons:â€" 1. They can carry on their unclean business more easily andâ€" 2. Under G. C. the stigma is taken off the liquor business and it becomes a respectable Government sale makes innocent Temperance people partners in the liquor business. Any drunkard after maltreating his wife and chilâ€" dren. can say: "It was the Government liquor you sold me that did it."
