The Richmond Hill Board of Trade which called off all meetings for the summer months, should be getting the machiney of the organization oiled up in preparation for an active fall and winter campaign. Members should be planâ€" ning with the View to making the coming year one of the best and most active in history. The development of the North Yonge Street district is dependent on a good transportation system which will give residents who chose to make their homes here a frequent, fast and dependable service with reasonably low fares. Sudch a, service for this district can best be given by the re ials. An Ontario town last week, celebrated a “Good Will Day” when there was a varied program during the afterâ€" noon and evening for the purpose of bringing the people of town and surrounding country together with the aim of fos- tering a better spirit in the district. The idea is a good one and the success of the day should inspire other live towns to follow the example. w in another week it will be nearly the first of Septemâ€" her and eight months of the year will have passed. Municiâ€" pal councils have had eight months in office and it will soon be time for summing up their records and the annual appeal to the people: The platform of new candidates may be as varied as the ideas of the varied list of candidates, but the platform of a municipal representative who has held office must necessarily be his record of the year. Before it is too late councils should carefully survey the municipal field and be mindful of their program of eight months ago. Matters which have been hanging fire during the year must soon be dealt with if any action is to be taken this year. It is a good policy for municipal councils to have a definite policy ‘ and to carry that policy to completion by the end of the year and leave a clean slate for the incoming council. If the transportation committee succeed as We hope and are confident they will succeed they should insist on a definite settlement which will be binding on all parties con- cerned for a term of years. A make-shift agreement for a few months or a few years will be no good. North Yonge Street towns and north Yonge Street communities deserve the opportunity of developing without the handicap of peri- odical announcements that‘their transportation system is going to be scrapped. As long as the policy of uncertaintâ€" ly is allowed to continue the North Yonge Street communit- ies will labor under an unfair burden and the T. T. C. should be big enough to see that under such a policy the success of the radials themselves is impaired. Let the T. T. C. decide to continue the radials and get down to business to promote development and bring people to this district and then watch North Yonge Street boom. evident that relief must come from somewhere. With the continued increasing demands for better township roads the expenditure on roads has been a continued drain on the tax- paying citizen. Even the “back concessions” are carrying toâ€"day a volume and type of traffic which was undreamed of a few years ago. The result is that they demand an ex- penditure on construction and repairs which is actually be- yond the means of the average township. This is especial- ly true of the townships close to a large centre such as townships in this district. The townships which are limit- ed in their source of revenue to direct taxation shouldlbe re- lieved of payment to provincial roads and should be given more substantial grants from the Ontario Government on township road work. With the reVenue received from the car licenses and the increased gasoline tax the provincial treasury should be able to undertake this responsibility and relieve the farmers of the townships of the excessive load of taxation which they have been asked to carry. How many more years must pass before there is any appreciable progress made with sidewalks on Yonge Street? There is apparently millions for highway construction, but there is something wrong with a highways policy which has no consideration for pedestrians. The suggestion of Premier Ferguson that it was the intention of the government to appropriate more money for the building of township roads was an announcement which will gladden the hearts of township legislators and town- ship taxpayers. The burden of taxation in townships is be- coming excessive and with the rate going up every year it is Members of the County Council we are pleased to state have on all occasions expressed a sincere appreciation of the necessity of continuing the line and it has been declared that they will not give up the fight but will if necessary protect the rights of the County in the courts of the land. In their determination to retain the radial service the County Committee has the whole-hearted support of the people ser- ved by the road and by those who appreciate the value to the county of this important transportation system. While the citizens of the North Yonge Street district are kept cheered by the periodical reports from the York County Transportation Commission that negotiations con- cerning the continuance of the radials continue to look more hopeful 'there is everywhere a feeling of anxiety as to the outcome of the deliberations with the T. T. C. and the City of Torbnto. Real estate is inactive and property owners are anxiously awaiting a definite settlement of this vexed ‘question. 7 Rumors that the Ferguson administration will seek a new mandate from the people some time this fall have been persistent of late, thriving rather because there is no evidâ€" ence to the contrary than because of anything in the way of confirmation. The press of the province is virtually a unit in expressing disapproval of any such course. It is pointed out that there are no highly controversial or im- portant issues to be fought out at a general election, and that the present Assembly has not completed what has come to be regarded as the normal term. It 'might be added that there is but one vacant seat, and that relinquished only a few Weeks ago.

It is claimed that the ten- dency is not confined to professional sport where the players admitedly lplay for financial gain, but that in Eamateur sport too much emphasis is‘ 'placed on winning and on winning a‘ !prize and not enough emphasis on‘i Iplaying for the sake of the sport. ‘ A correspondent signing himself “Lawn Bowler,” disgusted over the pursuit of prizes at bowling tourna- ments, is demanding a change for the better. In a following letter to the Toronto Globe he deplores lack of sportsmanship in some cases, but has a good word to say for those who participate in matches in which no prizes are given. The letter reads: Life never would have been so rich To meâ€"so well worth whileâ€"â€" But for that cheering wox’d you spoke But for that cheery, smile; . The burden had so heavy grown, My heart was filled with care; I never would have reached the goal Had you, friend, not been ’there. Because, because I had a friend, One who was real and true; Because your friendship did not fail Just when I needed you, .I I had the strength to clamber on, I had the will to do. Because I knew I had a friend, I’ve had no cause to rue. Oh, there are records of the past That tell of trust sublime, 0f friendships that survived the test Of doubt, disaster, time; But I know one that’s up to date, That had not had. an end When a man defeated fought and won Because he had a friend. Bowling has always been regarded as one sport free from reproach along this line but recent communications in the press have hinted that even in this game there is a danger of com- mercialism. “I am enclosing a leaflet'“0ne Do’ and Fifty ‘Don’ts’ for Lawn Bowl- ers.” This leaflet should be put in the hands of and lee read carefully by every bowler in our Province, for it contains suggestions, which, if adopt. 9d, would greatly help in halting the grand old game of lawn bowling in its apparently mad rush for the pro- cipice of commercialism. The game is primarily one for gentlemen, and the muchâ€"worn word gentleman as here used does not stand for Wealth; social standing or expensive clothing, it stands for “playing the game for the game’s sake” â€" and not mainly for prizes. I have participated in a few tourna- ments this season, and it is not only sad, but painful, to watch the strain When the results at Richmongl Hill High School were as follows: Juni- or. leaving Part II â€"â€" Mary Milne, Guineveve Harris, Lorine Wright, Georgian Bay with its 30,000 is- lands, "makes an ideal inexpensive week-end outing.

Not much is expected of him, and if he doesn’t take your nearest bowl out, it won't be his fault; if he happens to put in a good one the skip will ask him why he don’t always do it. One feature of this season’s bowl- ing I am pleased to noteâ€"various clubs inviting rinks from other clubs for afternoon or evening play with- out prizes attached. Let us have much more of this. BOWLERS~AND WHAT THEY, DO There are four men on a rinkâ€"â€" the lead, the second, the vice-skip and the skip. The lead is expected to put one bowl just in front of the jack and the other just behind it, which he may do once in a lifetime. He is then sup- posed tp go back and sit down, but never does, as the seat of his cream trousers will testify. note their keen desire to win â€" not the game but Winning seemingly their goal. And I have been sorry to see in some of the contests where prizes were awarded for three wins, two wins, one win players “throwing” games so as to get in on the two win or the one win! Utterly unsportsmanâ€" like! Lawn bowling has already lost many of its best representatives, and many more will follow if this spirit of “pot-hunting” is not curbed. The vice has forgotten more about bowling than the skip ever knew. He is certainly an allâ€"round good bowler for he admits it himself. The skip should be portly and bowâ€" legged, so when he runs after his bowl it will amuse his opponents and divert their attention. If he loses, what could you expect, being supportâ€" ed by such dubs. If he wins, his chest will dislodge the three mm butâ€" tons, of his vest. Oh, well!
