9AGE TWO No one would deny anyone, especially the young people, every )ossible joy on Hallowe’en; but there can be no real enjoyment from :nything which brings discomfort to anyone else. Let all be mindful herefore in the pursuit of innocent pranks not to overstep the line of .ommon decency and consideration next Monday night. Especially :hould this apply to any activity directed at aged, helpless or unfortun- tte people who all too often are the ones chosen victims of the pranks .f thoughtless youngsters on HalloWe’en. Although the night is now :enerally recognized as one when strange things happen, there are )ounds beyond which celebrations must not advance and the rights of ndividuals and property must not be molested without the danger of stepping into the hands of the law. It is our earnest wish that everyone, young and old may enjoy Ilallowe’en to the full but at the same time we sincerely hope that no young man, or woman will be so unsportsmanlike, and so void of con- sideration and self respect as to be a party to bringing discomfort to .my of the citizens of this district. I pray Almighty God that the words I Write in this house may 1e pure and honestâ€"that they be dictated by no personal spite, un- worthy motive or unjust greed for gain; that they may tell the truth :3 far as I know itâ€" and tend to promote love and peace-â€" amongst A striking example of how the exigencies of party politics will prevert a man’s viewpoint as to the condition of his own country, and a contrast between the attitude of the man in politics and the man out of politics were afforded in two speeches delivered recently by two prom- inent Conservatives. One was the Hon. Hugh_Guthrie, speaking at a Conservative rally in Brantford; the other was Sir Joseph Flavelle, Bart, speaking at a banquet of the Association of Canadian Advertis- ers in Toronto. â€" The speech of the Hon. Hugh aitlirie was reminiscent of the “whisper of death” propaganda of a few years ago. The only thing the Liberal party had done since it came into power, he said, had been to increase the country’s debt. He doubted if employment were as good as in 1921. Taxes were up, wages were down, but the cost of living was still high. The rich man had been helped by the lessening of the income tax and the workingman hindered by retaining the sales tax on clothing, boots and shoes. It was a depressing picture, but it apparently suited the particular political purpose he was trying to serve. Monday is Hallowe’en and with the coming of this date so closely Lssociated with mysterious happenings andythe pranks of ghosts and .mall boys, and some times big boys, it is well to pause and ask for 21 am observance of this festival of witchery. nen. On the other hand, Sir Joseph Flavelle, a Conservative, but one with no poltical aspirations in sight, painted an entirely different picture. He showed, in graphic figures, the progress of Canada since 1914. Bank deposits had grown from 650 millions to over a billion and a quarter. In additivn to this, Canadian investments in foreign secur- ities totalled 750 million dollars. Only four years ago, he said, there were “whispers of death” and the Senate met to consider what could be done to save the National Railways from bankruptcy, but in‘ 1926 the system showed an operating profit of $48,000,000. Life insurance, since 1900, had increased from $76 per capital of population to $350 per. capita. .It has been said, Sir Joseph pointed out that Canada was on the eve of an era of prosperity, but he contended that Canada had been en- joying‘ that era of prosperity since 1920, and was now the' third richest country, per capita in the world, standing next in rank to only the United States and Great Britain. Those, he said, were sure evidence of the prosperous condition of affairs in Canada to-day. These two diametrically opposed statements, One made by a man with a political purpose to serve, and the other with none, show how. much dependence can be placed upon the claims put forward by professional politicians. But it is hard to believe that intelligent people at this time, can be made to uphold the pessimistic viewpoint, no mattâ€" er what their, political beliefs may be. I The paving operations in Richmond Hill are progressing rapidly and the finished job promises to be a credit to this municipality. It is said you cannot hold a good man down; likewise you cannot retard the progress of a good town. No says the village grouch but Some people can throw a whole lot of brickbats in its way. Only eight weeks until Christmas and the_old warning to do your shopping early is in order. Let's bring it up to date by saying “do your Christmas shopping earlyâ€"and do it with your home town merchant.” “If you must wa'lk on the highways, walk facing the traffic” safety warning handed out recently. R. B. Bennett apparently claims that his great wealth will be a be- nefit to him in his pnblic service. It has ever been the popular con‘ ception of statesmen that men in comparatively p06r circumstances were better able to appreciate the trials and struggles of the common people and thus better able to legislate to their advantage. Monday, November 7th, has been proclaimed as the date for the observance of Thanksgiving and Armistice Day. The observance of these two days goes well together, for if there was ever reason to feel thankful all over the world, it was on the day the Armistice was signed. If t\en cent gasoline ever reaches the market how wide will the roads have to be to accommodate the traffic ? With cheap whiskey cheap gasoline and cheaper cars, the insurance business should treblé over night. Drunken and reckless drivers have been designated murderers."

Thanking you, I am From time to time since early spring we have been assured through ygaur valuable paper that operations on the construction of a lighting sysâ€" tem in Thornhill would be commenced in the early fall. Now Sir fall is here and slipping quickly on and of late I have heard nothing of the proceedings or witnessed any signs of action. Surely our highly esteemed councils have not forgotten us. The time of year is upon us when we need the lights and as our part of the bargain Editor Liberal Sir:â€" Frequently through your paper I have had occasion to draw attention to the somewhat unsatisfactory mann- ' er in which affairs in Richmond Hill are handled and I am loath to tres- pass either on your good nature or the patience of your readers. It strikes me very forceably however that all the jangling and discussion which we have had over our pavement could have very well been avoided by a bus- inesslike council which was right on its toes and alert to the needs of the town. We have known for months that the street would likely be paved ‘this year and I know of no reason why all arrangements should be left to the last minute. Why wait until the Paving Company are at work before you decide what kind of a road you want? If you are building a house you draw up your plans and engage workmen to carry them out; you do not get the carpenters on the ground and then start consulting the members of your family as to what kind of a house they Want. A little foresight and business ability this year would have saved the town a great deal both on vYonge Street and on the side streets. However I am not hasty in my judgement and will anxiously a- wait an explanation either now or on nomination day. Beware the Ides of January.
