SAVAGE Richmond Hill Editor Liberal, Sir,â€" I think the voice of your readers should be raised in protest against the yearly infliction of Daylight Saving which we are called upon to endure. The poor suffering citizen can stand it in the summer months but when it continued on into the fall it is TOO MUCH. Standard time should be resumed at least by September lst. I am glad to note that the effort of some towns to have this scheme ad- opted all over the country is meeting with little success. Windsor will have nothing to do with it. London citizens also refuse 'to be hoodwinked or rather to ‘try to hooiiWink themsel- ves. If business houses Wish to give their employees the 'benefit of the fine. summer evenings all they have to do is open and close one hour earlier. The same result would be achieved without all the confusion; so why juggle the hands of the clock"? It may be all right for the people who don’t work or for those white collar folks who go to work about nineâ€"thirty but for ’the working man who has to leave home at'5.30 a. m. these mornings so called Daylight Saving time is no fun. It looks more like darkness-saVing to us and I think it should rbe stopped. Editor L11me Sir,â€" If we lose our radial cars in Sepâ€" tember we will be losing something more than a cheap, safe and comfort- able means of transportation. These cars are old friends to many of us who have travelled on them for years and we know the conductors and mot- ormen as we never could know a buS‘ driver. This is the “personal touch”1 and is something we could never ex- pect in the speedy, luxurious busses. When the radial stops at a corner and the conductor hetps us on with our parcels he makes us feel as if we were his guests and he liked having us ride on his car. He welcomes us like a host and discusses the weather and the crops while he punches our ticket and helps us to stow away our par- cels. The bus driver, poor fellow, hasn’t time for any of this. When he stops at the corner and sees us and our parcels his expression says as clearly as words, “Another dashâ€"dash â€"dash passenger! Another dashâ€"dash â€"dash three minutes to make up." He hasn’t time to talk about the weather â€" he hardly knows there is any weather except on wet days when his bus is sliding all over the highway and on winter days when the bus serâ€" ‘w'ce is sometimes tied up for three days by an ice storm. He merely sells us our ticket with one hand while he ‘trusts the lives of ten or twenty passengers to the other hand. The driver of an ordinary motor car would be arrested for this one-arm driving, but he has to keep the bus go- ing while the helpless passenger sways there waiting for the ticket and change. The schedule doesn’t allow any time for trifles like.st0pp- , ing until the passenger is seated. THINKS DAYLIGHT SAVING 11‘ SEPTEMBER IS TOO MUCH OF A POOR THING :\ BOOST FOR THE CONDUCTORS And then the parcels! How are we going to take our baskets of apples and eggs and potatoes to the North York market on the busses? I can’t imagine the market women getting the glad eye and the helping hand from a bus driver when they have a dozen baskets to put on board. Now I don’t want anyone to think that I don’t like the bus drivers, they aren’t all speed fiends trying to pass every car on the road, stopping the bus with a jolt that bumps your nose on the seat ahead and starting with a jerk that dislocates your neck and breaks all your back teeth. I once went down with such a careful driver that I felt like asking his name so I could write to'the papers about him. There were no sudden stops and starts, no racing with other cars, no hogging the centre of the road â€" it was a treat long to be remembered. However, if the radials are done a- way with and all our kind motormen and conductors thrown out of jobs af- ter so many years faithful service (they are specialists in their way and don’t want jobs round the car barns 01‘ driving busses) the T. sorry to learn that it patronage.

Yonge St., Pho Littie Brothers THE AIR IS DIFFERENT In the days when the Indians inhabited this coun- try a man could do very much as he pleased. His suc- cess and happiness depend solely upon himself. What he did meant little to anyone else. But those days are no longer. Life under modern conditions is a complicated sys- tem, a union of the residents of one community with a- nother, each dependent to a large extent on the other. Modern society is based on the family, Where the suc- cess of all depends on the efforts of each. Loyalty is the secret of happiness. The members of a family help each other by their actions; the residents of a community must unite for combined success; and the citizens of a country must work together for the well- being of the nation. A man may claim that he has the right to spend his money where he pleases, that no one can stop him if he wants to buy his goods outside Rilhmond Hill. He is literally right, but that man observes only the law of selfishness and becomes a parasite in the life of the community. Under the terms of his law that man should send his children to the schools in the commun- ity where he buys his goods. Do not use the argument that the things you buy outside Richmond Hill are small. It is the little things in life that count. Make them count for Richmond Hill. Buy from your home merchants.
