PAGE TWO I pray Almighty God that the words I write in this house may be pure and honest~that they be dictated by no personal spite, pn- worthy motive or unjust greed for gain; that they may tell the truth is far as I know itâ€" and tend to promote love and peaceâ€" amongst men. _-â€"William Makepeace Thackeray. This is Jubilee year and celebrations are the order of the day. We have also been indulging in a little celebration which although particularly our own belongs also to our large and ever increasing family of readers throughout York County. The Liberal with this issue completes forty-nine years of publication and in this record of service we take just pride. During that time many newspapers in Canada have come and gone but through all the years The Liberal has continued to prosper and this Jubilee year finds the Liberal with the largest circulation in its history and enjoying the respect and-confidence of the community which it serves. The vital force of business to-day is the desire to render service. It is the big business builder. T0 BETTER SERVE THIS GREAT COMMUNITY AS THE HOME PAPER IS THE AIM OF THE LIBERAL and in our endeav- or at this the completion of forty-nine years of publication we ask the support COUNTY COUNCIL IN SESSION ‘York County Council is in session and citizens of the district should follow with keen interest the proceedings. Members of the County Council are the Reeves and Deputy Reeves of the various townships in the county and therefore the leadâ€" ers of the municipal life of the county. The honor of being Reeve or Deputy Reeve is highly prized and eagerly sought after and those occupying the office have been selected on their’merits after election in most cases where the electors have sifted the claims and weighed the abilities of the nominees. Sometimes men, tried and true in the fire of service are re-electd by acclamation and all represent the best thought and ability of their respective constituencies in the parlia- ment of the county which has been in session this week. TOO MANY CHANCES The country is face to face with a serious problem. There are too many chances being taken and too many people being injured because of the chance-taking habit. The motorist who habitually takes a chance is reasonably sure to be involved ultimately in an ac- cident. The same general rule applies to the pedestrian. The work- er in‘ industry who has not time, or thinks he has not time to be careful, is hastening the day of his injury, and the employer who prefers to take a chance rather than provide safeguards for his dan- gerous machinery is inviting injury to his men and increased compen- sation costs for himself and other employers in his class. Too many chances are being taken in a country that needs to conserve all its forces, but more particularly the lives of its citizens. There is a saying that “the chance-taker is the accident-maker" and this has been abundantly proven by the history of accidents in indus- try in this country. On the other hand, there is a record of a fore- man in a wire plant in Hamilton showing 60 years of service with never an accident to himself nor a serious accident to anyone in his department. The reason he advances is, “being careful.” It sounds simple, but sometimes it is a most difficult role to play. The toll of accidents in and out of industry, however, quite justifies more atten- tion to care and caution, and the curbing of the “take-a-chance” spirit. m " ‘ It has been charged that the enthusiast has been loyal only to his own dreams. But one cannot have a dream at all without the substantial upon which to base it. The baby’s dreams are of the smiles it has seen on mother’s face, which is its entire universe; but these it has actually seen. The enthusiast has seen his world, has had his impressions, has shaped his thoughts. It is on these dreams are founded and his ends directed. He is loyal to the great things. The enthusiast is not alone a dreamer. He is the world worker who labors not for ay, but for the very love of it. Money could never have made 3 Columbus, and only a Columbus could have discovered a continent. Civilization would be without masterpieces and master- men if the enthusiast was bound by the laws of labor unions. His work sets itself no time limit and permits none to be set for it. His strength comes and goes. It is fed by fires from the soul that‘burn only fitfully. He works while they burn and then he produces. He stops when the fires smoulder. His dreams are the fires which give him strength for action. The enthusiast cannot die while the earth lives, since every generation must have him to depend upon for the step in advance which God seems to destine each generation to take.

John Wanameker knew this when he first started business. The first day he opened his store he spent practically every cent he had in advertising and took a chance in getting results on his money. The object of advertising is to impress your name and business into the public mind so that when people think of anything in your line they think of your name first. But you must keep everlastingly at it. Advertising is the only tum. Other powers lose by e advertising; diffusion its life what it imparts. It carries i: of many. Advertising is the reaping.

It may be regarded as somewhat in the nature of coincidence that lacros- se once Canada‘s undisputed national game was placed on an organized footing in Confederation year, when a gathering of expert players and lovers of the game met at Kingston to frame the rules and legislate for the future conduct of the sport. For forty years after that period lacrosse grew and flourished but some fifteen years ago the game showed symp- toms of losing its popularity. The newer generation did not take to la- crosse as did their fathers and to-day the game can scarcely justify its once proud title of Canada’s national pas- time. Canada’s in the middle of the 80’s and has now largely assumed the place once held in the affections of tin? public by lacrosse This is hockey which to-day is played by countles organizations from coast to coast. Another development by no means confined to Canada has been the ‘rise of golf. Thousands of clubs have sprung up. There is scarcely a tOWn of any size in the country and certainly none with any pretensions to fashionable sport that has not its golf links and club house. In winter sports, however, another form of athletic endeavor was born Football, introduced into Canada by British soldiers after the conquest of Quebec did not make any particular headway until adopted by the colleges and universities about 1880. The game is still largely a college sport and has a strong hold on the student body and graduates. Still another form of outdoor sport that has grown immensely in popular favor of softball. This is a modifi- cation of baseball and is greatly fav- ored by school pupils of both sexes because of the elimination o fthe~dan- gerous hard ball of the parent game. Basketball is a game that has won a very high place in the regard of educational and other institutions which possess facilities for gymnas- ium exercise in Canada run into thou- sands, large industrial and other corporations have taken up the matâ€" ter of providing playing floors for their employees and many of these organizations have formed leagues for the clubs in their own line of act- |ivity.

King Council National Game Organized in Con deration Year. ago has completely usurped the place once held by the native winter sport of snow-shoeing. The latter has al- most disappeared although at one time it was Canada’s predominant Winter pastime. Skiing has caught the fancy of many thousands and bids fair to hold its astonishing popularity It may safely be said that the per- ‘ iod since Confederation has witnessed a complete reversal of the general attitude towards outdoor exercise in every form. In the days of the union of the province and for many years thereafter the practice of athletics was confined to those who made it) more or less of a business or proâ€"i fession and to a very small percent- i age of the general public. The great i mass of the people were content to. look on. But nowadays the urge is i for active participation in the game itself and as a result men and women in all walks of life and almost all ages have taken up some form of athâ€" letic exercise. The great variety of games provides an opportunity for all ‘ to take part in some suitable sport. Where sixty years ago there were but Irene or two forms of recognized outâ€" ‘door pastimes, there are now easily a ‘score, lawn bowling, tennis, golf, and lother games have replaced the digni- fied croquet of our grandparents. Freedom from the conventional forms of dress has also done much to popu- larize modern sport with the feminâ€" ine portion of the community. The common sense costumes which char- acterize golf, skiing, swimming and a1â€" lied pastimes have won countless de- votees to these forms of athletic ex- ercise. The evolution of sport cloth- es would if studied be found to have exercised a rather interesting influ- ence on the spread of outdoor games. Canada’s climate is likewise a fac- tor in the spread of athletics. The four seasons are so defined that each has its own particular sports suited to the climatic conditions and nearly 1every game in the calendar of ath- letics finds here its best environment. In this respect the Dominion has a considerable advantage over many other countries and while it has tak- en our people some time to apprec- ia'te this fact it is evident that hence- forth Canadian sports Will be enjoyed to the full not only by our own citiz- ens but by vast numbers of visitors to the Dominion. “You look tired." “Yes, I’ve had a bad day. That office boy of mine came in with the old story of getting away for his grand- mother’s funeral, so just to teach him a lesson, I said that I would accom- pany him.” “He took you to the football game, I suppose?" “N6 such‘luck. It was his grand- mother’s funeral.” Large Order Edison, with all his inventions, was a piker compared to the ambitious young photographer who advertised: “Your baby, if you have one, can be enlarged, tinted and framed for $8.79.
