PAGE TWO A rapid'transportation system at a reasonably cheap fare would do more to develop the North Yonge Street district than any other single factor. The cut in radial service in- augurated this week and the introduction of busses at doubâ€" Ie the old fare will tend only to retard development. In the first place present traffic conditions on Yonge Street do not warrant the introduction of a bus service whiâ€" ch will tend to congest traffic and increase the danger for the travelling public. In the second place the bus fares are too high and will be a burden on those who will be compelled to use this means of transportation. The councils of the municipalities served, the Boards of Trade, the Ratepayers Associations, the North Yonge St. Improvement Associations and all organizations and indivi- duals who have faith in this district should get together in a serious effort to secure for this section of York County an adequate transportation system and one which will encour- age the development and progress of the communities servâ€" ed. The combination radial and bus schedule inaugurated by the T.T.C. on North Yonge Street this week has few featâ€" ures to commend it to those who are interested in the deveâ€" lopment and progress of this district. Countless scores of arguments may be in the possession of the T.T.C. in support of the action but from the standpoint of the district served there is little to be said in favor of the new arrange- ment and much to be said against it. 7 The service introduced this week is a challenge to the districts served by the Lake Simcoe Line to organize and get down to business in the matter of securing for the district a transportation service which will tend to develop the district CUT IN' RADIAL SERVICE WILL RETARD DEVELOP- MENT OF NORTH YONGE STREET DISTRICT The suggestion to establish a suburban speed law is received with satisfaction in the North Yonge Street dist- rict. Thirty five milesper hour is too fast a rate through such centres as Lansing, Willowdale, Newtonbrook, Thornâ€" hill and Elgin Mills. The number of fatalities are convincâ€" ing evidence of the need of some change in traffic regulat- ions, and the roposed change in the speed limit would be a step in the ri ht direction. The suggestion of the Ontario Government that twenty five per cent. of the cost of Old Age Pensions be paid by the municipalities has received an unfavorable reception throue ghout the province. THE MUNICIPALITIES OF ONTARâ€" IO ARE NOW SUFFERING FROM OVER-TAXfITION and their sources of revenue are limited. Surely Ontario can follow the lead of the other provinces of the Dominion and undertake her rightful share of providing for her old people in accordance with the Act of the Federal Parliament, with- out attempting to hoist half of the burden onto the munici- palities. The session of the Dominion Parliament has commenc- ed at Ottawa. The opening ceremonies were graced by the usual glamour and splendour but now the members are down to the regular work of the session. Immigration, Power, Railways and the Tariff will be‘among the subjects discussâ€" ed. The amazing record of Canada’s trade wilL be reviewed. It is a source of pride to all Canadians that we stand to-day, in trade progress, as leaders of the world. Canada is in the vanguard of the ARMY OF PROGRESS, going forward as never before. .

There are fewer epidemics now than there used to be because we have learned how to prevent certain diseases which not so many years ago, were the cau- se of epidemics. The early settlers in this country had the sad experienâ€" ce of'repeated epidemics of cholora and typhus fever, or, as the latter was called, ship’s fever or immigrant fever. Until recent years, epidemics of typhoid fever were common. These diseases rarely cause epidemics now because our public health organization wages a successful war against them, providing the necessary equipment with which to fight is available. We are not successful in the same measure in preventing epidemics of such diseases as Influenza, because as yet the cause of this disease is not deâ€" finitely known; nor have we a means of making ourselves immune or resist- ant to influenza in the way we can, through vaccination, render ourselves immune to smallpox, The Young People’s Society of Brown’s Corners held their weekly meeting on Sunday evening.

THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO HEALTH SERVICE OF THE live a hygienic life, and if you become ill. go to bed and call in your family doctor. This advice is perfectly sound. Our reason for referring to it is that it is important that it be understood that if we are to protect ourselves at the time of an influenza ‘epidemic, We must establish and live a hygienic life at all times. We say this because we believe it is practical- ly impossible to alter our mode of liv- ing suddenly. We should, for exampâ€" le, always wash our hands before eatâ€" ing; We should never put our hands to our faces excepting to use a handkerâ€" chief; we should not put anything in- to our mouths, excepting food and drink, or a tooth-brush. The reason for these habits is to keep disease germs out of the mouthâ€"the common mode of entrance. Such habits can- not be suddenly established during an epidemic. Practise them at all times and you will do them unconsciously, and so protect yourself, during and be- tween epidemics, from some of the dangers of infection.
