THURSDAY, JULY 12, 1928 ___________â€"_._____L_â€"â€"â€"-â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"-â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€" THE WESTERN OUTLOOK Reports emanating from western Canada, and particularly the official reports of the Canadian National Railways, paint an optimis- tic picture of the crop prospects for this year. There are few sub- jects in which, year after year, Canadians are more interested than the success or failure of the western grain crop. It means much to this country. On it depends the prosperity of the great stretch of prairie beyond the great lakes, and, in an indirect measure, the pros- perity of the industrial east. _ For this reason, there is cause for congratulation on the prospects for the 1928 crop. Weather conditions have been unusually favorable and the grain has made an excellent start, so much so that it is pre- dicted that the crop will be one of the largest on record. This means wealth to the western farmers, and the putting hundreds of millions of dollars of new money, money wrested from the soil of the prairie provinces by the hard toil of the farmers. The re- ports state that everything is favorable, that the early work on the farms was greater in extent than for many years, the seed of better quality, and the early growth very rapid. This makes for optimism in the west and that, in turn, is reflected all over the dominion. Canada is still largely dependent on the western grain harvests for its pros- perity, and another good harvest in 1928 will further stimulate the prosperity which the whole country is now enjoying. Before you complain of the heat, remember what you said about” the cold weather only a few months ago. Automobile traffic continues to increase with such rapidity that one hesitates to visualize what it will be in twenty or even ten years. The consistent increase in County taxation should give food for thought to every taxpayer when he receives his bill. The County of York has some big problems to face and the expenditure in many de- partments particularly secondary education has rapidly advanced but the question which Mr. Average Taxpayer asks is “Where is it going to stop?” The time has arrived when municipal ratepayers should pay a little more attention to County affairs and possibly ask a little more rigid accounting of the expenditure from County Council re- presentatives. Under United States immigration laws one hundred Yaps have the right to enter that country annually but last year it is recorded only one took advantage of the opportunity. Probably thought there were enough there now. THIS IS THE TIME OF YEAR TO MAKE SURE OF THE WEED CROP. Cut them before they go to seed and avert the bounti- ful unwelcome harvest which is sure to follow if you neglect the duty, Weeds are the enemy of production. Clean them up before it is too late. We have been asked several times during past weeks by tourists as tothe location of the Richmond Hill Park. We were sorry to have to tell them that they‘d know it by the lockâ€"up at the Main Entrance. Year by year Township road work is undergoing change and imâ€" provement. It is not long since the days of statute labor but, even those opposed to its abolition now admit the suuperiority of the new system. Vaughan Township this year has purchased a new gravel loader; Markham township this month purchased two new road grad- ers. This is the age of machinery and the municipalities like indus- trial concerns in all countries are coming to a full realization of this fact and the belief that only by having the best possible equipment can the best possible work be accomplished. We believe they are right A good workman must have good tools and you cannot expect a gang of men to keep the highways in first class shape with a meagre sup- ply of antiquated equipment. Richmond Hill council are to be commended for their action in de- ciding to construct a new sidewalk on the west side of Yonge Street. The old walk is in a deplorable condition. not in keeping with the spir- it of progress typified by the new pavement. It was a badly needed improvement and the council will never receive criticism for expendi- tures on such needed public works. It appears now that it is possible for Richmond Hill to have a magistrate here to try all local cases. There may be some difficulties in the way of which we are not aware but it would seem that in the interests of efficiency and convenience in the matter of law enforce- ment and traffic control that the appointment of a magistrate would be a well advised step in the right direction and we feel it would meet with the approval of citizens generally. We intend ordering a handsome loving cup which we will present with solemn and fitting ceremony to the first man or woman who comes in our office with a bright and cheery smile, a hearty hand- Shflke and a g00d Word for the community we live in, with good will toward all and without a grouch against the tovm council, the town- ship council, the county council, the taxes, the roads. business or the world and the people in general. There would not be so many fatalities on level crossings if the race with the locomotive did not end in a tie. Quebec has a good law requiring all motor vehicles to slow down to 8 miles per hour within 300 feet of a railway crossing. when Crime has reached such a stage in Chicago that the murder by machine gun bullets of a prominent politician of that city is scarcely worth mentioning on the front pages of tlic newspapers. Ii would be a real sensation. how if the murderers were found. convicted. and executed. The price of strawberries nowadays makes people wonder if there will over he :1 return of the time when they could go I r a festival. pay a quarter for admission. and be st re. wh c rry supplied with all the strawberries they could cut. with liberal liclpings of cream to go along with them, into circulation of, THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO “ Way Back in Liberal Files ” DO YOU REMEMBER This \Veek of 1893 When the following candidates who wrote the entrance examinations for the High School at Richmond Hill were provisionally admitted by the local examiners:-â€"Miles Langstaff, Richmond Hill; M.

When you speak of Pontiac as the lowestâ€"priced six with bodies by Fisher, you are merely finding another way to sayâ€"“the finest of low- priced sixes.” For no other six of such low price ofl'ers the score of advantages which make the Pontiac Six the value leader of its entire class. Certainly none other offers any major feature comparable to the staunch, smart coachwork that the Fisher emblem represents. Not only in style and colorâ€"not only in room- iness and luxury of interiorsâ€"but also in sturdiness and quality of construction, Pontiac- Fisher bodies establish a standard never before attained in a six at Pontiac price. Like Pontiac itself, they are noted for ruggedness and long life. Like Pontiac itself they provide every element required for complete satisfaction and for justifiable owner pride.
