How about your child’s eyesight?

On the other hand, prompt attention to weakened eyesight in younger years, often results in complete overcoming of slight defects in vision and later, glasses can be put aside. We specialize in examination of eyes and will tell you honestly whether glasses are needed or not. Protect the child against defective vision. Attend to the matter now as the new school opens.

Almost any night at any hour we see young child- ren on the streets. Is there no such a thing as a curfew law now-a-days? I think that the responsibility is primâ€" arily on the parents but if they let children run on the street until late hours I think it is up to the municipal- lity to step in and see that they are sent home. How about the constable? Has he not any authority in such mat- ters? Nothing will more tend to start a young boy on the wrong road in life than gadding around the streets and public places until all hours at night. I wonder that some of our public organizations have not taken this matter uprlong ago as .it is a chance to do some â€"real constructive work with young boys. Let’s have some action in regard this matter, Mr. Edi- tor. Thanking you, I am Editor Liberal Sir :â€" We always hear a lot of talk. about what a fine thing it would be if we had some industries. Tell me what is ever done to induce one to come here. People are leaving and our young men as they grow up have to look el-i sewhere for employment because there is not sufficient employment here. We have a ratepayers associ- ation I believe but what have they done for Richmond Hill? How many industries have they brought here? It seems to me that something can surely be done and I for one ratepayâ€" er would like to see a little action. There’s no harm in trying and I would try till I got something. I don’t mind people failing if they try’but I hate to see people throw up their hands with- out an effort. I think a citizens com- mittee should be appointed to try to secure industries if we cannot get ac- tion from any of the public bodies a- long that line. Let’s hear from some one. Yours for a greater amount of pep in our town, signed ACTION Notâ€"We heartilly concur in the sentiment expressed by the correspon- dent but he is wrong in assuming that nothing has been done during the year.

Ed. Editor Liberal Sir:â€" I am a very interested reader your letters from the people eac week and I am very pleased that t people make such good use of the co umns of the home paper to discu topics of interest. We see a great deal in the press bout accidents on the highways et and everything is discussed from th standpoint of the motorist. Not har ly a word about the.poor lowly pede trian. However I am delighted th the pedestrian is at last recognized a creature with traffic rights. Her tofore the chief regulations of traffi have been in the interest of vehicul [traffic Everything has been done 1; expediate motor traffic, but the poo pedestrian has been left to save hi own skinâ€"or break his neckâ€"whe it comes to crossing the street. The courts in some countries hav xruled and cities are enacting traff ordinances giving mere walkers right-of-way over vehicles at in sections where there is no traf officer or traffic control syste Drivers are required to slow down, stop if necessary, in order to pe pedestrians to crOSS. This is a victory for the princi that walkers also are human bein If the ruling can be enforced, drivers will no longer be able to b ’down on innocent pedestrians rferocious glee and force them to la like kangaroos or die the death 0; (traffic victim. We need some legislation to defi the rights of pedestrains on highwa where there are no sidewalks so t We will not have to take a flying 1e: 'for the ditch every time we see a m( or peep over a hill. I know we the subject of much abuse but I am ‘the opinion that about as many m Iorists violate the rights of the pad trian as there as pedestrians who v' late the rights of the motorist.
