I pray Almighty God that the words I write in this house may be 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 as far as I know itâ€" and tend to promote love and peaceâ€" amongst men. IT’S A TOUCH LOOKING SPOT The Agricultural Park in Richmond Hill is in such a condition that those who attend sporting events held there and citizens of the town and surrounding district are often heard to pass very uncomplimen- tary remarks on the appearance of this, Richmond Hill’s only park. While Richmond Hill may be justly proud of many of its civic under- takings, of the fine main street, finehomes and well-kept lawns there are still many improvements nefissary and none needing it worse than the park. An attractive park is an asset to any tOWn or community. Many a. hamlet boasting of only four corners, a general store and a pump has a. more attractive and better kept park than Richmond Hill. Civic pride demands that the Park be improved and the improvement should not be indefinitely put off. We understand that the park is held joint. 1y by the Town and the Agricultural Society. Would it not be well to call a joint meeting of the Town Council, the Agricultural Society and the citizens in an endeavour to find some means of making the much needed improvements. CHARACTER After the recent floods in Vermont which caused much commerci- al disaster as well as considerable loss qf life and great distress, a number of Massachusettes bankers agreed to lend money to business men, farmers and others without security, except as to character. This is helping a‘ lot of good men. It recalls what John Pierpont Morgan used to say, that character was the first collateral he wanted. He loaned millions on that, and is said never to have lost any of it. Forty minutes is the time limit for speeches in the Canadian Par. liament now. This is a splendid plan. Longâ€"winded speakers have choked more good enterprises, killed more enthusiasm and wasted more valuable time than any other group of individuals. This thing of liking to hear yourself talk is awfully monotonous to listeners. A good speaker can say what he wants to in short order, and a man isn’t a. good speaker till he can speak concisely. We venture to say that the speeches in Parliament have never been easier to' listen to than they are this session. Moral for the boy entering business lifeâ€"be straight. Straight with money straight in decency and thoughtfulness and kindness with family and friends, straight in doing an honest day’s work straight in every duty a man should recognize. Despite all the changes in street conditions, the personal attitude of many persons has been little altered. People still stroll unconcern- edly across the streets, in the middle of blocks and at intersections without looking right or left. In other words, they cross the thorou- ghfare in just the same manner they used 20 years ago when a farm- er’s team or the butcher’s cart constituted the greatest street menace. It is hard for adults to change their ways and to adopt themselves to changing conditions. Children, however, learn easily. They are young and, therefore, pliable. It is to them that the lesson of traffic safety should be directed. They will, of course, pass a good deal on to theirparents. Parents and teachersmust be untiring in their efforts to impress on the children the danger of travelling on Yonge Street. \ WHAT OF OLD AGE? While not a pleasant subject to dwell upon, an occasional look a. head to the condition which may surround old age would be advisable, even for those whose circumstances in early life are satisfactory and whose future seems secure. We may well be reminded that nearly 80 per cent. of all old peop- 1e are dependent upon others for support. Yet many of those in early and middle life were prosperous; sqne even wealthy. Who can not look about him an}! see acquaintances who were once the envy of their neighbors, but who through business reverses, acci- dents. illness or extravagance are now brought to feel the sting of poverty? Usually such disasters might have been averted by a reasonable exercise of prudence and thrift. Keeping up with one’s neighbors in a. false display of prosperity is one fruitful source of old age ,poverty, and there are many others. Much of the misery which usually accom- panies old age might be avoided by looking ahead before it is too late. During the past four or five weeks the Town of Oakville has inter- viewed four manufacturing concerns with the View of having them 10. cate in Oakville. They were successful in at least two cases. The town has agreed to spend $500 this year in publicity and are out to get industries and apparently are meeting with success. Other towns are getting industries. What is Richmond Hill doing to induce factories to locate here? Ask the members of the Council next time you meet them.

O “ Way Back in Liberal Files ” THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIQ A very pleasant evening was spent at the home of Mr. Charles Malloy on Thursday last, when about 50 of their neighbors and friends gathered there to present them with a beautiful floor lamp and club bag before leaving the farm for their new home in Aurora.
