We have plate-glass windows in stores and cunningly concealed lighting devices to throw just the right intensity of illumination on the fabrics displayed. We have automoâ€" biles in all the shades of the color card; typewriters and al- arm clocks in tints to match room furnishings; period styles in radio cabinets; cafeterias with marble-topped counters, and lithographed wrappers on packages of soda crackers. Manufacturers, distributors, retailers of today, who do not pay attention to appearances are left behind in the process- ion. An old line in the copy books read “Appearances are De- ceiving.” However much truth there may be in the saying it is equally truethat “Appearance Counts.” But communities seem slow about taking the lesson to heart. We still have eye-sore buildings, crude billboards, unpainted fences, uneven lawns, stores with old-fashioned fronts and houses allowed to remain in disrepair. We have unattractive surroundings, lots filled with discarded autoâ€" mobiles, shacks on business streets, unkept alleys, residenti- al districts where flowers and shrubbery are unknown, va- cant lots covered with weeds in summerâ€"a hundred and one different detractors of appearances scattered throughout our towns, and then we wonder why more folks are not at- tracted to come and live here. The community of today which is growing faster is the one which has caught the modern spirit of paying attention to appearances and pays that attention. Paint, cement, or- namental finishings, landscaping, even ordinary cleanliness and whitewash, are assets to a community which wants to PAGE TWO Large sums of money will this year as in other years .be expended in making good roads into better roads and poor roads into good roads. But good roads are too often speed roads and many of them become through accidents sad “Roads of Remembrance.” Few roads but are marked by tragic fatalities in most cases unnecessary and every road brings sad thoughts and tears to many a household in Ontario as they remember those sacrificed on the altar of speed, carelessness and neg- lect. Motoring is taking such a toll of human life as never before known except in war or plague and must inspire every thoughtful citizen to consider conditions as they exist. New laws must be passed or old ones more strictly en- forced to secure reasonable safety for the motorist and pedâ€" estrians on our highways. The speed laws especially as re- gards reckless driving,‘cutting in, etc. should be rigidly en- forced even if it would mean law additions to the present highway police. The law regarding defective brakes, the regulations regarding the proper focusing of headlights must be enforced if the highways are to be safe. grow. The uneven sidewalk, the jog in the street, the low ground where water lies for even an hour after rainâ€"these are as much out of date and as great a barrier to selling a community to prospective residents as cotton umbrellas that bulge when rolled up, automobiles modelled on the lines of 1914, or bathing suits covered with flounces would be an ad- vertisement ,of failure in the stocks of dealers who might be rash enough to offer them. Styles today call for smartness, the suggestion of effibâ€" iency, the touch of sophisticationâ€"how many communities can, in their appearance, meet these requirements? Can Richmond Hill meet these requirements? ' “Good Roads for Ontario” as a slogan inspired the pro- gress of the Good Roads movement and the new slogan should be “Safe Roads for Ontario.” Reminiscent of Sir James Barrie’s famous rectoral ad- dress to the students of St. Andrew’s University are the sen- timents expressed by the premier of Canada regarding the participation of youngrpeople in public affairs. Barrie told his hearers that courage was needed in the great fight that seems to be coming between Youth and their Betters Exhor- ting them to take an active interest in matters of national and world import, he said: “I want you to take up this posi- tion that Youth have for too long left exclusively in our hands the decisions in national matters that are more vital to them than to us. That the time has arrived for Youth to demand a partnership.” The premier of Canada in offering his congratulations to the Twentieth Century Women’s Liberal Club of Ottawa upon the successful manner in which this new organization had been launched on its career, expressed his conviction that nothing could give greater inspiration to the cause of Liberalism throughout the Dominion than this evidence of the strong appeal of Liberal principles to the young women of our country. v... v“- u.._,. “The formation of this new association is an event of more than local importance in its relation to the future of our _ ‘gty, Mr. King continued." “It illustrates at the same time be strong appeal of Liberalism to the youth of our country and the response‘of the younger generation of Can- adians to the responsibilities of citizenship; It has always been the strength of Liberalism that its sanctions lie not in tradition but in the progressive thought of each succeeding generation. There could be no more happy augury of the future of the Liberal party in Canada than the active co-op- eration of young Liberal Women in the work of political edâ€" ucation and organization throughout the Dominion.” Ontario now has three young women’s Liberal organiz- ations the Toronto Young Women’s Liberal Association. with Mrs. A.

This transmission usually occurs through the use of milk coming from tubercular cattle. To what extent this is a practical danger depends up- on the amount of tuberculosis that ex- ists amongst cattle, because upon that figure would depend the chances of ex-i posure of children to infection. ‘ In a recent number of the Canadian Public Health Journal, there appeared an article on The Prevalence and Exâ€" tent of Bovine Tuberculosis in Canada. This article presented a summary of ‘the data collected through certain measures which revealed the presence or absence of tuberculosis in some six million cattle, during a number of years, from various sources through- out the Dominion. The conclusion reads:â€"â€"“It would, appear to be justifi- able to estimate that bovine tubercu- ‘losis infection in Canada, at the pre- sent time, does not exceed five per ’cent.” The actual percentage, based 'on the six million cattle, was approxi- mately four per cent.

The drive is lined on either side with rhododenron bushes already in bud, with, behind them, a profusion of evergreen trees. There are hemlocks, pine and a variety of cedars. It might ‘be Stanley Park, Vancouver, 01' a typ- lical bit of northern Ontario. As the drive'winds on one catches tantalizing glimpses of the castle in the distance. Surely the Earl, as he drove up for the first time, must have thought it allegorical.

It is not a theoretical dang- er, but a practical one that continues day by day. There is no doubt but that children require milk, but no one would suggest taking the risk of using milk that might contain the germs of tubercu-' losis. Fortunately we have a simple and practical mtehod of meeting the difficulty. Pasteurization of milk deâ€" sroys all disease-â€"producing germs, in- cluding the tuberculosis germ. We may use pasteurized milk and feed it to children, with full confidence that the danger of bovine tuberculosis has been overcome. Through pasteurization, we have it in our power to prevent immediately the occurrence of even one more case of bovine tuberculosis which attacks little childern, destroying some and crippling others. There is no excuSe for failure to use such a powerful means for protection from disease. Questions concerning health, ad- dressed to the Canadian MedicaliAs- sociation, 184 College Street, Toronto, will be answered by letter. Questions as to diagnosis and treatment will not be answered. He reminded me of a. small cowboy sheriff standing there, hands in pock- ets, with a soft gray hat pulled low over his keen blue eyes. I wondered about the hat until I heard its history. The earl had bought it for him the day before, discarding the old farm cap. Ten minutes afterwards he was bargaining with the boots in the hotel corridor. “How much will you give me for this hat? I don’t like it.” But the .earl was in the offing and the tranâ€" saction had to be abandoned. The young Viscount is surely the most miserable mortal in England. Everybody stares at him. All day long people are pestering him for in- terviews. The small boys of the town cluster round and try to get him to speak, while school children greet each other with, “Have you seen him yet?” He has the look of a hunted deer in his eyes. It may be a case of “dreams come true” as the father has said, but a young and healthy westerner does not want to be quartered in dreamland. He sighs for wide open realities where “men are men” and his animals his dearest friends. He has made one pal in Ringwoodâ€" the small hotel kitten which wears a bell around its neck and is called Nig. ger.
