In a communication to the editor which we published in our last issue Hon. George S. Henry stated clearly the positâ€" ion of the Ontario Department of Highways in regards to the building of sidewalks on Yonge Street. It is quite ap- parent that it is the Wish of the department and of the Minâ€" ister that sidewalks should be built. The departmental policy whether we chose to agree with it or not, makes it necessary for the township councils concerned to take the initiative and we feel satisfied that in any difficulties of onstruction which might be encountered that the Departmen would be willing to meet the municipal- ities in overcoming the obstacles. .-- .‘ 1|. 1: 1|;ch 111 UVCL yuuuus nan, uuum vvvvv The township councils of Vaughan and Markham sHbuld lose no time in arranging a conference with the Minister of Highways where a definite understanding on the sidewalks question cou_l(_l_be optained. I _ 1- 1 1 1 - L‘L , 3“ The public safety is not to be disregarded and in the inâ€" terests of the preservation of life, limb and property sideâ€" walks are an immediate necessity on Yonge Street. Action has now been too long delayed and it is hoped that before this summer passes a definite construction program of side- walks for Yonge Street will be well under way. CONGRATULATIONS TO THE FAIR BOARD RE- SPONSIBLE FOR THE SUCCESSFUL 1929 FAIR The Richmond Hill Spring Fair once more demonstrat- ed that it is an attraction irresistible and that the mistaken idea of the present day that the small fair is on the wane cannot prevent this historic institution from marching for- ward and each year establishing new attendance records. vulu an.“ vuVA- J V..- emu“... ________ c, -_- V. v The fair as an institution which for eighty years has successfully carried “on has become a very definite part of the community itself and each year its field of activity and scope of service is broadening and yearly is making appeal to a larger and ever growing patronage. jAGE TWO Over three thousand people visited Richmond Hill Fair on Friday last and over three thousand people must have been impreSSed with the necessity of Park Improvement in Richmond Hill. The Village Council, the Fair Board and the people of Richmond Hill should get together and launch forth on a scheme of Park Improvement which in the course of years would transform the present site of Richmond Hill’s annual fair into a place of beauty which would be a credit to the town. RADIALS MUST BE RETAINED A meeting in the interests of the continuance of the radâ€" ial railway from Toronto to Lake Simcoe, will be held in the Masonic Hall, Richmond Hill on Friday evening of this week. The citizens of York County should show their interest in this problem which is of vital importance to every resident and property owner by attendance in su_ch large numbers as to tax the capacity of the hall. The officers and directors who give freely of their time and energy in promoting this community undertaking are to be commended for their public spirit and congratulated on the success of the 1929 exhibition. The North Yonge Street district by virtue of its location is worthy of a transportation system which will tend to de- velop and build up the district. Those who have a vision of the possibilities of the district and faith in the future should bend every possible effort to retain the radial line by means of which the district may be provided with an adequate transportation system. ' The question which is facing the people of York County is not that of retaining the present radial service. The pro- blem before the people of York County is to retain the radial line which under capable management and with the support and co-operation of the people is capable of providing a tran- sportation system which will build up the district by attract- ing new residents, who bring prosperity to the different conzimunities and in turn build up the revenues of the railâ€" roa . Let the citizens of Richmond Hill and all the communit- ies along Yonge Street show their interest in the radials by their attendance at the meeting in Richmond Hill on Friday night. May the men who have the lead in the matter of re- taining the radials have the whole-hearted support of the people of this district and may their efforts be successful in ridding the radial situation of the uncertaintly which has characterized the operation of the road during the past year. Residents of the North Yonge Street district should not be misled by the plausible arguments and honeyed phrases put forth by those who would like to see the radials abandon- ed and a bus service inaugurated. An American expert may have advised that busses would better serve this district but those who know Yonge Street and are familiar with condit- ions as they exist do not need an American expert to tell them that a radial service is better adapted to the needs of this district. A bus service is a poor substitute for a radial serv1ce. ' Plan now to attend the meeting in the Masonic Hall in the interests of the continuance of the radials. Let everyâ€" one put a shoulder to the Wheel and work for a better trans- portation service for Yonge Street. Radials provide a safe, sane comfortable means of tran- sportation at a reasonable cost and with the maximum relia- bility. Busses are more dangerous less reliable and more ex- pensive Yonge Street will never grow and develop as it should grow and develop in the face of the handicap of periodical announcements and press notices by the T.T.C. of curtailed service and abandonment. The matter of transportation on Yonge Street should be settled so that business could go a- head with some degree of certainty and development take place at a pace which the location justifies.

There are certain conditlons which, when they occur, should be takâ€" en as definite warnings and should send the person concerned to his doct- or without delay. There is a very de- finite limit to the extent we may go in pointing out such danger signals, honmiep H1911! is a to what the When Lord Roberts announced the annexation of the Free State, which in pointing out such danger because there is a limit to 'lay person is able to see. The trained engineer can learn from the action and the sound of his mach- inery whether or not it is running as it should. He will detect the slight changes which are the beginning of trouble and which the untrained per- son would neither see nor hear.

Most of the diseases from which mankind suffers are not of the sudden, acute type; the majority of them are gradually developed over a consider- able period of time. In most cases, their presence is not suspected until there is some symptom which sends the sufferer to his ,doctor for examinâ€" ation. That symptom was a danger signal which the patient recognized.

Periodic Health Examination brings medical skill to act when it has the most to offer. Early treatment is the greatest advantage that curative medicine has to offer, because early treatment will mean, in most cases, ‘cure, or at least no further damage. If ‘one relies on his own skill to decide as to the need for medical care, this may mean, in many cases, advanced dis- ease with practically no hope of cure, and a life-long disability.
