Richmond Hill is facing an important problem, the decision of which will have far reaching effects on the future of the town. It is ab- solutely necessary that all should do a share. TOO OFTEN THERE HAS BEEN TOO MUCH OF THE SPIRIT OF CRITICISM AND T00 LITTLE OF THE SPIRIT OF COâ€"OPERATI- 0N. It is easy to sit on the fence and watch the procession go by. It is The committee of ratepayers have had this proposition in hand for many months. Many meetings have been heid and a great deal of time and en- ergy spent in attending to the number- less details leading up to the present point where the whole question has taken a definite form and can be sub- mitted to the people for their approv- a1. At the committee meetings held this week canvassers were appointed to make an intensive survey of the town in an effort to raise the amount of money necessary to meet the Rate- payers Association’s obligation ,in the" agreement with the manufacturer inl comm. I l,‘ c In o_ H dustry here. The Q a 'L'concerned in the negotiations foing Con- cern” and is not as x I ' financial assistance in the f tin of stock or shares; but the fact of the matter is that there is to day a premium on INDUSTRIES. Every town wants in- dustries as regular employment for a considerable number of men and wo- men is rated as a town’s best asset. l Therefore towns which want industriâ€" es to give steady employment to their citizens are willing to make some sac- ‘ rifices to secure such industries and that is the reason canvassers will call on Richmond Hill citizens during this ‘ week in an effort to raise sufficient; money to offer to the manufacturing company a free building site in Rich- mond Hill. . | Richmond Hill needs a substantial gindustry and RIGHT NOW it is quite iapparent has an excellent opportunity of securing one. An Industry of the size and standing of the one with which the Ratepayers are negotiating located in Richmond Hill would we be- lieve herald the dawn of an era of un- precedented progress, growth and pro_ sperity and would be the first step in an industrial expansion even beyond our dreams. The locationyof an in- dustry in Richmond Hill would im- mediately enhance the value of all the real property in the village and would make every foot of land and vacant lot a valuable asset. One does not need to be posses‘sed of any super-natural vision to foresee that the location of such an industry here would be a boon to all property holders. Industries bring people, and more people mean more business for tradesmen and merâ€" chants in every line of business. Developments of the past few days have brought to a head negotiations which have been pending for some months between the Richmond Hill Ratepayers Association and a large, old established manufacturing concern now situated in the city of Toronto with the view of having the company locate their factory in Richmond Hill. The town now has an opportunity of securing- a manufacturing establish- ‘men-t which has been doing business for a great many years, with a staff at present of about two hundred and and fifty employees, and a pay-roll of about $6000. weekly. The company proposes to erect a factory at a cost 'of about $100,000. the plans and spec- ifications of which have been submit- ted to the committee handling the pro- position.

M Important Sale of Jerseys An auction sale of more than ordi- nary interest will be held on Wednes- day, April 4} when the herd of high class, registered and fully accredited jerseys of Mr. W.A. Harbinson, Tdf 15, con. 3, Whitchurch, two and a half miles east of Aurora “ill be sold. This is a well selected lot of well bred catt. 12 including some fresh milkers, some due to calf and some good bulls. This is a clearing sale as Mr. Harbinson is going out of the cattle business. All pedigrees of registered stock will be produced on day of sale. Prentice & Prentice, auctioneers will handle the sale A feature of general conditions in this district this year worthy of com- ment is the splendid prices prevailing at auction sales of farm stock and imâ€" plements. In addition to this farm land sales reported are all for very satisfactory and many for fancy fig- ures. Farmers in attendance and auctioneers assure us that bidding at ‘the sales is very brisk. Hugh Clark’s sale near Agincourt brought over the $6000 mark; Charles Malloy’s sale in 'Vaughan township is reported to have ibrought over $5000. Cattle and espe- Tcially \good milk cows are keenly 1sought and bring excellent prices. A good horse brings anywhere from $275 to $300 and well matched teams are going for $500 and more. Farm land is also selling well as reports in these columns from time to time indicate. 'not a difficult thing to criticize but it fis a difficult thing to construct. We can take a vessel of water and throw it on the floor smash the glass and dissipate the contents but all the sci- entists in creation cannot re-make the glass or re-assemble the water. When men seek to do public service they should be encouraged. The canvass- ers who will interview you are giving not only their money but their time and energy as well to the project they are asking you to support. All can- not have the same views on every sub-- ‘ject and the will of the majority must prevail. There are always two sides to every question whether it be a perâ€" sonal matter or a public project. Much often depends on getting all the facts. It is not Wise to come to rash conclus- ions or render judgment on mere surâ€" face indications. Hear the whole story from the canvasser, take a broad and public spirited viewpoint of the matter, consider it from every angle if possible, and seek to curb your pre- ‘judices and Widen your symathies. 'I‘he project is looked. on by many as the best that has every been presented to Richmond Hill. Reports from the committee at the time of going to press are very encouraging and the subscriptions received so far have been generous and have been freely and willingly given. Everything so far looks promising and if everyone does his or her share the burden will not be Eugenie: anyone. Let us remem- 132% that anythififim really worth while is not secured with- out an effort and often demands sacri- fices. If the proposition looks big for Richmond Hill then let us forget the inferiority complex and remember numbers do not make a town. IT IS LOYALTY that really counts in gett. ing things done. If numbers counted China would be the greatest nation in the world. It is quality and not quan- tity that scores every time in this age in which We live.

Good Prices Oratorical Contest , The airmal oratorical contest for the High ’School under the auspices of the Home and School Club will be held in the High School Gymnasium next Tuesday evening, March 27 at 8 p.m. The public are cordialli invited to at- tend and the officers and members of the Home and School Club are desir- ous of having a large attendance. Before the presentation of the priz- es an overtime period was necessaryâ€"â€"~ but contrary to the general practice it was not played on the ice but in the dressing room. There was a protest ientered resulting out of a. claimed in- fraction of the rules whichtook the committee some tinie to decide but af- ter some considei‘ation it was disal- lowed and the first prize of eight gold watches was presented to the Super. Sixes and a second prize of gold cuff links was awarded to the Telegram. Reeve Lunau and Councillor David Hill made the presentations. The first/Eeriod ended in a 1-1 score .and it lookedn‘like anyone’s game. The second period was scoreless but in the final encodhter the Super-Sixes were hitting on all cylinders and took every bit of opposition the newsboys could offer on high gear and scored three " goals. They checked their opponents vigorously and displayed some flashy play, which put the French & Head boys in strong with the fans. Their victory was a popular one and the team are worthy holders of the cham- pionship of the 1928 Ricflmond Hill Tournament. The Richmond Hill Hockey Tourna- ment concluded with a hard fought game, [on Monday night between the ‘Telegfé’m and Super-Sixes both of To- ‘ronto. The Tely b’oys stepped on the ice as favorites to win the jewelry but ‘the Superâ€"Sixes went out and {flayed a sensational game of hockey and from lstart to finish had the best of the play. They won a four to one victory which was richly deserved and the 1fans were not slow to recognize it and cheered their every rush to the echo.
