The York County Council meets next week and the ses- sion promises to be one of serious moment to the whole of the County and to the North Yonge Street district in partic- ular. The Radial question will be one of the main problems submitted for the consideration of the municipal representâ€" atives. v The representatives of the Various municipalities of the County should make sure that the County gets a square deal in the matter of transportation on Yonge Street. We know of nothing which is of more importance at the present time to the future welfare of this section of the County than the assurance of a continued Radial service. We know of nothing that works more to the disadvantage of the County than the abandonment of the Radial Service and the substitution of a bus service. The people want the radials and do not want a bus ser- vice. A radial service provides a safe and dependable tran- sportation service at a moderate cost. The busses at best must be an unreliable service dependant on the uncertainties of Weather conditions. Traffic is already congested 0n North Yonge Street and in the interests of public safety a bus service should not be tolerated. These are only a few of the reasons County Councils should keep in mind in puttâ€" ing up a stiff fight against any proposals to abandon the radial line. ' ballot. By marking the ballot on our front page you will help ascertain the wish of the readers of The Liberal on the Transportation question. The expression of opinion cannot be otherwise than helpful as a factor in strengthening the hands of those who are fighting for the County’s "interests and will no doubt have the attention of the T. ’1‘. U. whose aim should be to please and accommodate the people. We are all desirous of ending the present situation of uncertainty as regards transportation on Yonge Street and anything which our readers as individuals can do to help should be regarded as a pleasurable duty. One of the prospective candidates for municipal honors in Richmond Hill tells a story which is worth repeating. A man attempted to drown himself by jumping into the waterworks pond recently. A passer-by jumped in and brought him to shore and safety. On recovering his breath the rescued man blurted “I Wish you would mind your own business.” “I am” was the quick retort. ‘ “You’ve every bit as much right to live and pay the taxes as I have.” The Liberal hopes to have the wholeâ€"hearted co-opeiu ation of its readers in making a test of public opinion in the North Yonge Street district on the Radial question. Every resident of the district is eligible to vote. Every reader of The Liberal is urged to coâ€"operate to the extent of marking the ballot and returning it to The Liberal office as soon as possible. The names of voters will be strictly confidential and only the result oIr‘the vote will _be announced. _ _ Every Liberal reader is asked the front page of this issue. ' It has been said that the people are indifferent to the Yonge Street Transportation question. Answer with your ballot. The Board of Health appears favorable to accepting the offer of the Provincial Department of Health and the coun- cil should take the matter up and face the issue squarely. It is a question which should not be allowed to stand over; it should be settled at the next meeting of the council. A better Radial service. Herein lies the hope for a bigger, busier and better North Yonge Street district. Take off the busses and give the Radials a chance to "make good.” Av council filedged though it may be to “economy” should be mindful that the welfare and best interests of the people must not be neglected. A Wise investment is true economy. North‘ Yonge Street is entitled to a dependable trans- portation system. How can a district be expected to grow prosper and develop with a threat to abandon the Radials continually run over its head by the T. T. C. The matter ofdtransportation on Yonge Street should be definitely settâ€" e . The question of securing the advantages of a Public Health Nursing service in Richmond Hill has apparently not yet been settled. The advantages of such a service are so generally conceded that it is difficult to understand why such a reasonable proposition as has been given to this mun; icipality has not yet been accepted. - A Well known writer said that when women shortened their skirts they added five years to their lives. Some of them evidently hope to live forever. J. Eachern Smith, Manager Member Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association. Subscription $1.50 per yearâ€"To the United States $2.00.

Established 1878 to mark the ballot on Answer with your ' I have done some questioning and with what I read in your paper and between the lines it looks to me as if someone is afraid someone else will sdo something. This is certainly the .best way I know of to get nothing done in the town. Let's grow up and be concerned with getting the work In last weeks Liberal, I was rather surprised at an article signed by one “A Temperance Man" 'with in my mind a big question mark after the word “Temperance.” I I am not a member of the W.C.T. U., but I admire their courage. I am a christian and a believer in prayer. You no doubt “Temperance” have some time in your life argued, and talked for a certain thing to be done YOUR way, but have finally given in *to the other fellow and followed his iwayâ€"much to your disapproval or will I say,- much against what you ‘think would be for the best. How- ever, after trying the other perSOn’s way you have found that by far it was the best way after all. Well so it is with our “Heavenly Father” and his ways. We have prayed and workâ€" ed for Temperanceâ€"in our way, but God has some other plan, by which he will answer our prayers. It may be‘ through much sorrow and suffering yet that he will bring thfs temperâ€"i ance issue to us, and when it next comes it is here to stay. “God moves 1 in a mysterious way” you know, and‘ this is one of His ways that we do not understand; but don’t ever think for-i one moment that the prayers of our christian women are not going to bei answered, and that they were not strong enough to reach “Our Fath- er” for they were and some day in His good time they will be answered and in His way not ours. Another thing I would like to ask you so called Temperance person. If Government Control is the temperan- ce issueâ€"than why on earth did all the liquor people and the bootleggers and the bums and toughs vote for it? Why in the world did they not vote the other way? Now answer that “Temperance.” I will tell you why “God did not answer our prayers” simply because you people who call yourselves “Temperance” and christ- ians and some I am ashamed to say ministers voted with the bootleggers, and the drunkards and the whiskey people. ' Editor Sirâ€": I am amused and yet at the same time grieved concerning the failure to have the Memorial cleaned and fixed up before the Armistice Service. I was glad to note in your columns some months ago the suggestion that some action be taken. I was still pleased when the council took the matter into their consideration. But then apâ€" parently like some spoiled children they began to quarrel. And when men get childish it is worse than when children get cross. The people are not so much concerned as to who is going to get the glory of doing the work as they are at having the work done and the Memorial made as beaut- iful and as fitting a tribute as possib- le to our heroic dead. Editor Liberal, Sirâ€", V True physical Beauty comes from? within and cannot be secured by the‘ use of external applications. It is not our intention to define or suggest standards, of beauty, ,but there are certain things which most persons will agree upon as being desirable and as adding to the charm of an individu- al; to these we M11 refer. The carriage of the individual, his posture whether standing or sitting, is a reflection of his general health. The person who faces the world with head erect and shoulders level is much imore attractive than is the round- shouldered individual who fixes his WANTS TO SEE WORK DONE AND LESS SQUABBLE ANSWERS LETTER BY A “TEMPERANCE MAN" CANADIAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION ldered on the BEAUTY FROM WITHIN 3.1 Liberal, LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE I thank you, “REAL TEMPERANCE” individual ground.

It is also desirable that the houses be numbered and the editorial referred to merely emphasized the desirability of such action.â€"(Ed.) diet, of the daily use of the tooth- brush and regular visits to the dentist. Just as the quality of the teeth is ichiefly determined by diet, so is every lpart of the body a mirror of proper :care, as shown by the use of suitable lfood and the practice of good health ‘habits. A healthy skin cannot be se- cured by external applications of cos- metics; it is the product of a healthy life and plenty of soap and water.

Editor Sirâ€"; NEXT DOOR TO MRS.â€"SO-AND-SO‘ - WORKER NOTE:â€"From the’ foregoing it might l be construed that the members of the 1 council disagreed concerning the cleaning of the War Memorial and if this is the opinion of the writer he is ‘mistaken.’ The dispute referred to arose concerning whether the work should be done by the council or the Memorial Committee.

If we can’t do that let me suggest the establishment of a kindergarten or else have the local magistrate settle the petty quarrels.
