BALES & SON â€" â€" â€"- LANSING. ONT WILCOX North Toronto, Tueé. Dec 14 3 5 Head Within another month the ratepayers of Richmond Hill and surrounding municipalities will decide who are to be the civic legislators for the year 1927 ; it is a matter worthy of the serious consideration of every elector. The municipal council of 1926 has done very well: they have worked hard, they held many meetings and they have been extremely careful in the expenditure of civic finances. They have not accomplished all they would like to, because progress and developement in a civic way requires money and there is only one way ,in which money for a municipali- ty can be procured and that is by taxes; more money means more taxes and as the tax rate is already too high the council endeavored to get along without any'large expendi- tures. A municipal council handles a great deal of money in a year, but when education and county levies are paid there is a very small proportion left for their own use. These are matters that are not properly understood by many ratepayers, and some attention and study should be given to them before nomination day. ‘ ’ If the jackdaw of failure once lights on any proposition it becomes very difficult to scare him off and imbue’others with renewed confidence and enthusiasm. So it’s always wise to think deeply and go slowly before we attempt rad- ical changes. Refor‘ms come very slowly, and never can they move ahead of general sentiment. We must first lay firm foun- dations for the new regime, we must clear the road of all foreseen obstructions, and have in reserve plans for remov- ing every possible obstacle which may be raised. We must look at matters not only from our own viewpoint, but from that of others as well, and be prepared to answer all objec- tions of our opponents. They will present some, we may be sure. There’s many a perfectly good ideal and many a needed reform which are shattered because we forget this. We cannot ignore the prejudices of others, we cannot over-ride prevailing conventions or settled conditions or customs. The fact may seem brutal, but it’s there just the same. No overwhelming desire on our part can alter the truth. It may be a good idea to hitch our wagon to a star, but it doesn’t follow that star-gazing is the best thing for a per- manent occupation. Star-gazing is all right to gain a gen- eral direction, but for steady progress we must lower our eyes somewhat. We do not travel in the freedom of the upper air (as yet), but we must surmount the bumps and ruts of the lower world. We needthe idealism, but with it a goodly amount of plain common sense. Hitching is all right for a time also, but to make the best progress we must break loose and start forth; on our own power. Prohibition has been rejected in Ontario and the remark~ able and decisive landslide of December 1 gives cause for re- flection. For years temperance forces in Ontario have been battling with the liquor evil and ten years ago succeeded in having prohibitory legislation enacted. On December 1st it was cast aside in favor of a system of government sale. It leads us to the conclusion that in all things we must make haste slowly and that it is a mistake and disastrous to the cause, no matter how worthy to legislate in advance of whole-hearted public opinion.

Markham Twp. Council At the last regular meeting of the Markham township council the/mem- bers listened to many complaints as ‘to the state of the roads in various parts of the municipality. The Council was sympathetic, but pointed out that thereahad been so much unfavorable weather that it was impossible 'in many cases to attempt to fix the roads without doing more harm than good. It was decided, however, to repair several of the worst sections if possible this fall. Foster Wagg‘ was heard regarding a dog 'of his which worried sheep, for which the council had to pay damage. He admitted that he saw his dog aft- er Mr. Brown's sheep, but thought that Brown’s own dog might have done the damage, and said it was spite work on Brown’s part. He had a long tale to tell about Brown. A very enjoyable meeting 0: North York Township Branch 0: Red Cross Society was held last day at the home of Mrs. Van I‘ rand, Green Gates. York Mills. 11 Mr. Finder of Buttonville was heard asking grant towards prizes for the Christmas Market at North Toronto on Yonge Street. The Treasurer was authorized to pay these grants:â€"N. J. Smellie, treasurer, Thornhill Public Library, $15; York Market (R. Poole, treasur- er), $10 in aid of Christmas Market. The clerk was instructed to have the furnace pipes cleaned and the Township Hall wired without delay. The council adjourned to meet on “Vednesday, Dec. 15th at 10 a.m., when the financial report will be sub- mitted and the business for the year cleaned up as far as possible. An estimate was received from James, Proctor & Redfern for work done on Harper bridge, $1200, less $240, 20% held back $960 in favor of Lewis Construction Company, con- tractors. - “Glenwilbur,” As well-\vishers for our beloved province, let us continue to stand by principle _and follow the dictates of our consc1ence. We entered the contest with the ut- most 21nd determined vigor, and tried our best to win. We failed, but have no regrets and would repeat the effort should the occasion arise. But our opponents were fair, for we must realize it was an election, I also want to thank Hon. Mr. Henry for his courtesy towards myself. We have been friends in the past, and I am sure he will continue as I am de- termined to the end. To Mr. Harold Sanders, manager of the campaign is the credit for car- ering out a most complete and thor- ough organization all over the riding in the short time at his disposal, and with him James Stirling shared the burden of much work as financial agent. Mr. Young, Mr. Honey. Mr. Wright and many others gave splen- ‘did support. Speaking at two meet- ings each evening during the latter part of the campaign at some of which . the going was exceedingly heavy for the dry candidate. ‘ Richmond Hill Liberal. Dear Sir:â€" I want to thank all supporters in the late Election contest and all work- ers of the O. T A. I do think a good fight was put up although late in the field and handicapped by the absence of any permanent organization. Yet the electors headed by Mr. Bruce were soon under way with a working or- ganization. Thevnorth of the riding, Markham, Scarboro and part of North York gave a magnificent dry majority. The south part of Scarboro voted mostly wet, although a fine band of Workers, including the ladies, led by Mrs. Graves made fine progress and deserve the thanks of all upholders of the O. T. A. East York Town- ship With its 50 polling sub-divisions, all wet, overwhelmed the North. Editorâ€" Another reason that country child- ren are not as healthy as city child- ren is that they do not get enough sleep. They very seldom go to bed before their parents and while nine o’clock is early for grown people it is too late for little children. The tiny tots should be in bed by seven at the latest and those of school ago no later than eight or eight-thirty. Children should not'be taken to ev- ening entertainments except in very exceptional cases. Besides being up too late they are likely to get over- heated and catch cold on the way home. In the city if a mother has no one to leave with the children she stays at home herself. Yours truly, INTERESTED. Editor.

Miss White’s many friends will miss her from the community. A number from here attended the Odd Fellows Fowl supper and dance at Willowdal‘e Municipal Hall, Friday evening. Newtonbrook received its share of snow on Sunday and greatly lessened the attendance at Sunday School and church. This was followed by a splendid meeting Mrs. Douglas Bales presided and Mrs. G. Goulding gave a talk on the Bible Lesson. A very social hour was then spent. A good number turned out to the LadieslAid at the home of Mrs. E. R. Young last Thursday and many hands made light work and another quilt was finished. - Mis Doris Goulding‘ of MacDonald Hall, Guelph, spent the week-end at her home. Miss Reed of Toronto visited Mrs. G. C. Charlton on Saturday. About thirty University students taking: a special nine month course in school nursing visited Newtonhrook school on Thursday afternoon to make observations of an out of town school Dr. Fair of Toronto was anxious for them to see the special health exer- cises which are used in Miss Russ- ell’s room.
