PAGE TWO PEDESTRIANS ON THE HIGHWAYS One of the deplorable features of the highway accident lists this year is found in the number of pedestrians who have been victims of reckless or speedy driving. These people, walking along the roads, have found themselves struck by automobiles and either killed or seri- ously injured, although, in most cases, quite innocent of any contribuâ€" tory fault for the accident. It is not surprising, therefore, to find Mr. Justice Latchford, while hearing a case involving the running down of two people by a motor car, taking the side of the pedestrians. He said: “Pedestrians do not seem to be considered in road construction. They do not seem to have any right on the highways, according to practice.” There is a great deal of truth in Justice Latchford’s assertion. The highways seem, by practice, to be the exclusive property of the motorists, and pedestrians who venture on them under present condit- ions take their lives in their hands. They must at every moment be ready to skip out of the way of an oncoming car, or to walk in the ditâ€" ches and even then they are not always safe. Daily the necessity for footpaths along the highways is becoming apparent, and the highways officials, in planning new construction work, would be well advised to make provision for these. Even on highways already built, it would save many lives if provision were made for pedestrians off the paved sections, where the motorists have full sway. It may be an expensive matter to provide these footpaths along side every highway, but a start should be made in the more densely travelled sections, and the work gradually extended to other points, so that the pedestrians, in time, would find that they had a share in the highways as well as the motorists. SIDEWALKS FOR YONGE STREET AN IMMEDIATE NECESSITY The matter of sidewalks for Yonge Street has been too long de- layed. The councils of Markham and Vaughan have looked the situ- ation over and have conferred with the Department of Highways and the promise has been given that sidewalks will be built. But confer- ences, good intentions or promises will not restore the life of one man, woman or child who should happen to meet with a fatal accident while all the red tape of officialdom is untangled to get some ACTION. Sidewalks or foot paths of some kind are an immediate necessity on Yonge. Sti‘eet to day and in the interest of PUBLIC SAFETY AND THE PRESERVATION OF LIFE AND LIMB the local Township councils should speed up negotiations and get the sidewalks laid. NORTH YONGE STREET STILL \VAITING FOR IMPROVED RADIAL SERVICE According to reports which leak out from time to time it is ap- parent that the Toronto Transportation is still grappling with the problem of “losses” on the Lake Simcoe Division of the Radials. The latest development is the report that the Commission is considering the abandoning of passenger car service north of Thornhill and the substitution in this district of a bus service. The suggestion finds little favor in the North Yonge Street district. Residents of this sec- tion of York County who are interested in the progres: and develop- ment of the district exp'ected something more from T.T.C. operation of the radials than has so far been offered. NEW CARS, FASTER SERVICE and a more attractive schedule of FARES were some of the features hoped for under the new management. The adoption of such a policy would go a lot further in the matter of ultimate reduct- ion of deficits than any attempt to foist an unpopular bus service on the people of the North Yonge Street district. York County has suffered the loss of a distinguished public ser- vant in the death of Major Brunton who had filled the position of Police Magistrate for the past twenty-eight years. He was a talent- ed official who fearlessly administered justice as he saw it to be in the best interests of society. The Board of Trade has been revived. May its revival be character- ized by a wealth of SERVICE to Richmond Hill and may its efforts on behalf of CIVIC BETTERMENT and PROGRESS be crowned with Constable Barraclough of Richmond Hill is rendering a notable service in the manner in Which he handles traffic during funeral pro- cessions. As civilized people proper respect for the dead is inherent in our very natures and it is fitting that the stream of traffic should be held up for a few minutes while funeral processions wend their way along Yonge Street. The local officer has been on duty at every funeral held since he took office and his action in this regard should commend itself to the community. SUCCESS. Some of the motorists who are called on to pay fines for speedâ€" ing through Richmond Hill no doubt feel its worth the price to drive on our fine paved street as compared with the road they had to bump over in past years.

When the funeral of the late Her-i ibert Diceman'took place on Thursday lafternoon. The services at the house land the cemetery were conducted by [Rev. G. W. Robinson of Creemore and ‘late pastor of Teston church. 1 When Holmes Crosby and Percy :Hill had a break down, while the Eyoung gallants were driving two iyoung ladies around the Western part iof the village, the pony became un- imanagable, broke a shaft and gave a lfree exhibition of high kicking. There was excitement for a time, but as the ‘driver and his assistant were skilled horsemen the fractions steed was soon brought under control. DO YOU REMEMBER This Week of 1903 When Mr. H. C. Bailey, of Maple, had his house lighted entirely by gas. l The first week after the lambs are 'weaned the ewes should be pastured on a field in which there is very little succulence in order to prevent udder ‘trouble. The ewes should be inspect- ed daily during this week to see that their udders do not become caked. A ewe which has an abundant supply of milk should be partially milked out [for three or four days after the 1 bs iare removed. After all danger of ud- der trouble is over the ewes should be “flushed” i.e. brought into good con- dition on a succulent pasture; such as 'alfalfa aftermath, sweet clover, or a {good brome pasture. The latter has given excellent results in the prairie provinces during a wet season. Oftâ€" len the run of the stubble fields will .bring the ewes into good condition for breeding. When the following pupils stood highest in their forms at the Rich- mond Hill High School. Form III, (1) The age and thriftiness of the lambs; (2) The condition of the ewes during the summer months; (3) The time of the lambing season. Minimum ,qttention to the breeding flock during the autumn months is one of the major causes of a small lamb crop. The lambs should be weaned in the month of August or September, de- pending chiefly on three factors. At the Experimental Station, Ros- them, in the fall of 1927 the ewes were divided into three groups. One lot of twelve ewes was given access to a field of alfalfa aftermath for two months previous to the breeding sea- son. Lot No. 2 had access to sweet clover, and Lot No. 3 had access to a bare stubble pasture where there was very little aftermath. The rams were in approximately the same con- dition when they were put with the ewes. The ewes were all weighed at the beginning of the experiment. The ewes on the alfalfa aftermath The made Fall Preparation For Lamb Crop. “WAY BACK IN LIBERAL FILES” THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIQ zhtly wee greater '311' Walter Frisby, Starr McMahon.

There were three triplets, ten twins, and six singles in this lot. The ewes in Lot No. 3 had 15 lambs weighing 130 pounds, or an average of 8.6 pounds with six twins, and nine singles. Three of these lambs were dead at birth. The results of the experiment would go to show the importance of flushing the ewes previous to the breeding season. The rams should be removed from the ewes ’in August and brought into good breeding condition by feeding them a little grain, one-half to one pound per day (three parts oats and one bran), depending on their condit- ion. They should be allowed to take sufficient exercise so that they will be very active when the mating season arrives.
