With Christmas once again just around the corner â€" hardly five weeks away â€" the stores are again calling public attention through their advertising, to the advisability of planning for Christmas well in advance. As usual, some will take heed, and buy and post early, while others will leaâ€" ve all preparations off to the last minute with the result that store staffs and post ofl‘ice men are worked to the brea- king point to keep up with the peak load of Christmas busi- ness. True there are some who will not be'able to spend as liberally as usual this year on account of the universal unâ€" employment situation but this need not dispel the Christmas spirit. But if those who are earning steady incomes, whi- ch are not affected by business depression will purchase as usual; if those who are well fed and well clothed will take a thought for those less fortunate ones who are cold and hun- gry; if the real spirit of Christmas is kept to the fore, this coming Christmas season need be no less enjoyable than those of more prosperous years. Christmas will be here before most of \us realize it. Shop early. Mail early. And determine to make this year’s festive season one to be remembered.

Overâ€"zealousness on the part of the police or a desire to add to the municipal revenue are advanced as reasons for the unpleasantness. If the motorists eXceeded the speed limits of the town, to a dang- erous extent, then there is nothing more to be said, as laws are made to be obeyed, but it is possible to draw even the speed laws too rigorouslyâ€"Midland Free Press.

The Revised Statutes are quite clear in enabling the municipality and the various school sections to coâ€"oper- ate to this end, and for the informat- ion of your readers I quote the follow. ing sections: (1) The council of every local munâ€" icipality shall levy and collect upon the taxable property of the puonc school supporters of the municipality, or of the sections in the case of rural schools, in the manner provided in this Act, and in the Municipal Act and The Assessment Act, such sums as may be required by the Board for school pur- poses; and shall pay the same to the treasurer of the board from time to time as may be required by the board.” Sub-section III'â€" All moneys reâ€" quired to be levied and collected and applied to salaries of teachers shall be paid to the treasurer of the respect- ive boards from time to time as may be required by them." My suggestion at the nomination meeting and at council meetings this year was ‘ that the various school boards, many of which have on hand substantial surpluses, instead of re- ceiving the township grant about the middle of December each year, that that money be allowed to remain in the township treasury until such tlme as it would be actually required by the school section. It will be seen by the foregoing quotation that the statutes provide for such procedure which would result in a substantial saving to the ratepayers of Markham town- ship in interest charges each year. All that is required to bring about this saving is for the various school boards to express a willingness to co- We need to be informed as to how to live in order to be healthy. Our lives should be guided by intelligence, not by instinct, if we are to rise above the level of the animal world. Education does not consist merely in the knowledge of certain facts. It is much more than that for it implies the ability to put knowledge into practice. But knowledge regarding the secur- ing and the maintenance of health will not, in'itself, be of any real valâ€" ue to gs. It is the way we apply this knowledge, by making It part of our daily lives, that counts. Results come from the application of know- ledge rather than from theknowledge itself. There are certain comparatively few and simple rules of llvmg which are the determining factors in our health. These rules are known to most people, and yet the number who practise them consistently is not great. There is only one practical way to hold to these rules, and that'is to make habits of them. It is just as easy to acquire good hablts as bad ones, and the practice of the good habits makes life much more comfort- able, pleasant and happy for ourselvâ€" es and for others. We usually establish our habits of life in childhood. During this period bf our lives, we inevitably establish some kind of habits, good or bad. Habits express our response to certain :conditions. By frequent repetition lof such response, we come to perform lan act without thinking. If a child has his hands washed be- fore meals, it follows that, in the course of time, he will go himself and wash his hands before sitting down to the table. In the same way, he acâ€" customs himself to brush his teeth at certain hours; he learns to go to the toilet at a set time; he goes to bed ‘and has his meals by the clock. In 1other words, he establishes habits. ouncillor Coakwell Urges School Sections To Co-operate With Council in Saving Interest Chargesâ€"“Civis” Suggests New Years Voting in Richmond Hill The parent cannot make a greater‘pHO contribution to the child’s health and FOR HELP THROUGH THE USE OF HEALTH RULES THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTAng LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE GRANT FLEMING.

Thanking you, I am Yours very truly FRED COAKWELL I notice by the press that a great many municipalities in Ontario have taken advantage of the provision in the Statutes which allow a change of election date from the first Monday in January to the first Monday in December. I have never heard the matter discussed locally very much, and although personally I do not tav- or this change it might be worth some consideration by the citizens and coun- cil. Editor Liberal, Sir ;â€" I have often wondered why Richâ€" mond Hill with other municipalities close to Toronto have not followed the example of the Queen City and had voting on New Years’ Day. It would have a twofold advantage, in that the interest in city elections might have the effect of a larger vote locally, and New Years beingaholiday it might suit better those of our citizens wno work in the city or elsewhere and might have difficulty in voting on an ordinary working day. I pass this out as a suggestion through your valuable paper for the consideration of your readers. I think our citizens should make more fre- quent use of your columns which you kindly give for the expression of op‘ln- ions and ideas. Thanking you for the space I am, happiness than by establishing propâ€" er physical and mental habits. The reason Why We refer to this subject is because it so often happens that parents who are reasonably well- informed as to what habits of life are desirable, are often careless or indiff- erent in seeing that their child es- tablishes proper habits. ‘ The establishment of proper habits takes times and patience and persev- erance. The parents must know what they are trying to do; must be informed as to how to do it, and be prepared to gain an understanding of the child and of the manner in which children are to be trained. Success with the greatest task of parentsâ€" child trainingâ€"does not come through instinct, but is acquired through study and preparation. Parents need eduâ€" ation in child training if they are to giVe their children a proper start in life.
