THE ROADSIDE IS NOT A DUMPING GROUND A drive through the country will be sufficient to impress any ob- servant person with the necessity of some systematic method of tak- an care of the dumping of refuse in rural municipalities. We can all picture many attractive beauty spots which are marred by the dump- ing of tin cans and refuse of all kinds. THE ROADWAY WAS NEVER INTENDED FOR, AND IS NOT A DUMPING GROUND and citizens who continue to use it as such are breaking the law and doing much injury to their municipality. IT IS A PRACTICE 7AA .____ “-v .-v-. urvr‘vrnvnAr unnub ....... __._, _,., , WHICH SHOULD NOT BE TOLERATED BY ANY MUNICIPAL COUNCIL. It is however a condition which municipal councils must face and prepare to avoid by the arrangement of suitable dumping grounds in thickly settled communities where there are a number of small land owners as is the case in the sub-divided properties in York County along Yonge Street. RICHMOND HILL FAIR Now is the time to plan your exhibits for the Richmond Hill An- nual Spring Fair which will be held for the seventyâ€"ninth consecutive year on May 24. The officers and directors are determined that the 1928 exhibition reach the high water mark of success and no effort will he spared that this objective may be obtained. Let every citizen from now until Fair Day be a personal missionary for the success of the event. The Fair is a community undertaking and it will be wholâ€" 1y successful when every citizen realizes his or her responsibility for its success. The directors wish you to realize that Richmond Hill Fair IS YOUR FAIR, that it is an educational institution and that its real success is measured by the impetus it gives to local agricultural progress and community development. PLAN NOW TO BE A BOOSTER FOR THE FAIR. The prediction that a speed of a mile a minute for motor cars will be a common thing in the near future and that it will be safe, is made by an official of one of the automobile companies but it is possible he is thinking only of pedestrians and is not taking into account the possibility of cars running into each other. When it is generally known that cars are going at 60 miles an hour pedestrians will not venture out, and of course, will be in no danger. The only difficulty so far, as they are concerned will be that of earning a living but probably this can be overcome by having motâ€" orists bring work to them, or if this is not practical they can be sup- ported by a tax on gasoline. Yes, the pedestrians will hide out and will be Safe when all cars are going at a mile a minute, but What will the motorists do to each other? PAGE TWO HOW ABOUT THIS, GIRLS. The girls of Blenheim High School have a movement under way which the Blenheim Newsâ€"Tribune thinks is highly commendable and one which might be well followed in many other schools where so fine a school spirit is evident. The girls are adopting a school uniformâ€"a. plain dress made of dark blue flannel, with white washable collar and cuffs, black belt and tie, and the letters “B.H.S.” embroidered on the breast pocket in orange, thus carrying- out the school colors of black and orange. The dress is plain and becoming, and may be made at home by any mother at a cost not exceeding three dollaI'S. MOTHERS’ DAY Sunday, May 13 will be celebrated in Canada. as Mothers’ Day.

If Mother is livingwear a red flower, but if passed- away, a white flour. WELCOME THEM No one could now doubt the value of the American tourist trade to this country, but it is only possible to increase this trade by a cour- teous treatment of the summer guests. Information should be suppâ€" lied freely and willingly, otherwise the intending tourist will turn to more congenial atmospheres. Not so many weeks ago, the countryside was a. drab pictureâ€"de- solate and cold. And now look at it. Gal-bed in a. mantle of welcome green with myriads of pretty May flowers in bloom again. Verily, it cheers the heart. Mother sayeth not “Will you ?"â€"â€"but GIVES!

Of this amount 19 mills will be used for school purposes and of the re- mainder, all but six mills are for ex- penditures over which the council has no control, such as debenture and county rates. The council' also decided to issue de- lbentures to the amount of $15,000 to provide for extensions to the electric light service. For some years the power lines on the east side of the town have been overloaded due main- ly to lack of sufficient transformers. An expert engineer has been engaged in going over the lines, and the money raised will be expended in carrying out his recommendations. Wm. E. Lyons, chairman of the finance committee, in presenting his report on estimated receipts and ex- pendituresy showed that last year’s tax rate had been insufficient to meet the needs of the town. Even with the increased tax rate this year, it will be necessary for all committees to practise the most rigid economy, and many of the improvements planned will have to be left over until next year, As After parleying for three weeks DO YOU REMEMBER Fix Tax Rate the result of two special meet- of the TOWn Council last Week, NEWMARKET THE series of fortnightly broadcasts throughout the winter, from Stat-1011 CHIC, Toronto, by The Blue Bell Quartette and Orchestra has: helped to make the season just closing a notable one in radio entertainment.
