Liberty: In All Things. Charity.” RICHMOND Stephen Leacock writing in the Star Weekly recently expounded the doctr- ine of the GETâ€"TOGETHER MOVF- MENT. He claims for it many wondâ€" erful advantages which are a great as- set to any town or community. We are heartin in accord with his opiniâ€" on on this matter. When the people of any town are big enough to step 1outside themselves, join together with others of the town for the upbuilding and betterment of the community, then things begin to move and you see that town go ahead. Richmond Hill Ratepayers Soon To Hold Annual Meeting According to all signs of the times, government statistics, financial re- ports, financial papers and well known authorities in all walks of life Canada is experiencing prosperity and the wide-awake towns are benefiting by this era of prosperity and are making progress. We are aware of a rather intensive survey of this district which has been recently made by a large or- ganization with the view of recording the progress of towns and communitâ€" ies in this district. A perusal of the findings is not very encouraging only in as far as it should encourage us to get) down to business and find out ‘what is wrong. Many towns have Business Men’s Associations, Boards of Trade, Publicity Bureaus, Service Clubs, and Booster clubs all boosting for their particular towns, proud of their communities and proud to tell the world about them. Richmond Hill practically speaking has none. The Richmond Hill Ratepayers AssociatFQn has endeavoured to fill the breach But we pointed out at the time of its 01‘- ganization that it would be successful for the good of Richmond Hill to ex- actly the same degree as the people of the town threw themselves into the or- ganization and supported itâ€"and it has been just that successful. Sever. lal matters have been taken up during the year and some good has been ecâ€" complished. Much more can be acâ€" complished by the help of the whole hearted support of the great body of "citizens of the town and district. LET THIS BE THE AIM FOR NEXT YEAR. The annual meeting of the Associâ€" etion will be held in the near future, when officers will be elected and plans, ‘for the year made. President Wilfrid lThompson when interviewed by The Liberal this week stated that he would have many important matters to pre- sent to the meeting the date of which ]will probably be announced next week. A Ratepayers Association is essent- ially “the people’s organization” where they can voice their views and opinion on all local matters and make hints and suggestions as to the betterment and improvement of the town. It is a very necessary and desirable crganiz. gation in any community and it is hop- ‘ed that the citizens of Richmond Hill ‘will keep the matter in mind and plan to attend when the date is announced. As a slogan for this year we humbly would submit the following; We will have another slogan to sugâ€" gest in our next issue. Watch for it and for the date of the annual meet- jng- At noon Tuesday the first concrete was poured in the abutments of the new Yonge street boulevard bridge. Owing to the heavy thaw, the Don riv- er overflowed and emptied 100,000 gal- lons of water into the second abutment. Workmen Were busy all Monday pumâ€" ping the water out. Rain Dulls Market.

Some Egg For A Leghorn Mr. Thomas Harding went hunting the eggs this week and was delighted to find that one of his leghorns had re- ceived an inSpiration from somewhere to imitate an ostrich and had provided for his breakfast a monster egg measâ€" iuring eight inches by six inches in cirâ€" cumference.

Weatherman Interfered With The Hockey Tournament Final Game The weatherman provided just en- ough mild weather at the first of this week to interfere with the final game of the Richmond Hill hockey tourna- ment which was scheduled for Tuesday night. The race for the grand prize of eight gold watches has been narr- owed down to the Toronto Telegram and the Superâ€"Sixes and the game will be played at the very first opportun- ity. Just when that opportunity will come is impossible to say at the time of going to press but Arm Savage and Wes Middleton who have had charge of the tournament stated quite definit- ely that they have been in communi- cation with Mr. Weatherman and have his assurance that there will be good ice before very long. Whether or not this elusive gentleman has been kiddâ€" ing our local hockey moguls or not, time alone will tell. The game will be called on short: notice as soon as the ice is good and‘ fans who are anxious to see the game may make sure of the date of the game by calling The Liber- al Office or some member of the com- mittee.
