It requires neither talent nor toil to economize where the pinch will be felt by someone else. This is the thought which should be kept in mind by members of public bodies who are looking about to cut expenditure and by rate- payers who are demanding reduced taxation. If we are sincere in asking for reduced expenditure we must be con- tent to have expenditure reduced which will affect our- selves. It appears that too many are crying for reductions which affect only the pockets of others and when it comes right home demand the same services as before. This is a time when all must be prepared to sacrifice something because many have been asked to sacrifice much more than they could afford. Public administration in these strenuous times should consider not only those who are able to pay their taxes, but as well those who are not able to meet their annual tax bill. When we consider that we have reached the point where many people find it difficult to pay their taxes, we must be impressed with the necessity of cutting out every item of expenditure, except that which is absolutely necessary. This paper had hoped that some powerful leader would rise up and advocate a return to the fee system for pupils attending continuation and high schools in Ontario, as a means of more justly meeting the burden of school taxâ€" ation. Twenty-five years ago secondary education was not so free as it is toâ€"day. The pupil was required to pay from $1 to $2 per month fee, which was collected for the Board of Education throught the principal each month. Under the old fee system a small portion at least, of the cost of secon- dary education‘was placed on the parents whose children were getting the direct benefit. One hears many complaints against our banks and banking system here in Canada, and no doubt there is room for improvement, but the situation in Michigan em- phasizes the fact that at least we can be thankful for the solidarity and stability of our banking institutions. We are astounded by the fact that in the United States there has been 10,000 banks close their doors in the past ten years, and that in 1931 alone there were 2000 failures, with depositors’ losses amounting to millions of dollars. In the wake of these failures tragedy stalked unchecked. Sui- cides, the wreckage of large fortunes and corporations and the financial ruin of hundreds and thousands of people were among the aftermaths, and to-day confidence in American banks is at a low level. Many improvements in our banking system may be possible and desirable, but from the standpoint of security at least, we have reason to congratulate ourselves. If a boy leaves school to-day after passing the entrance to high school exams. he must work for low wages while learning a trade. He must do this to gain knowledge of the business at hand. On the other hand, if he continues at school the province pays all costs to turn him out as a professional man in some field to charge high fees for What he knows and for what the state gave him largely at the state’s cost. This of trades far more than it needs professional men toâ€"day. Apprentices in every trade are all too scarce, while the professional field is gllutted. If the Ontario government would return to the old fee system enabling school boards to impose a moderate monthly charge on pupils, it would probably keep some municipalities from the defaulters list. Further, it would weed the “drones” out of the school classes.â€"â€"Stouffville Tribune. ' by the County Council and the Provincial goVernment in other ways. - not be delaved. BUT THE EDUCATION OF OUR YOUNG PEOPLE SHOULD NOT SUFFER BECAUSE OF THE EXTRAVACANCE OF THE PROVINCIAL GOVERN- MENT OR THE YORK COUNTY COUNCIL. Because the government of the province of Ontario has carried on an orgie of spending in recent years which has plunged us so far into debt that we may never be able to pay it. or be- cause the bigr spending: of the York County Council has landed us in the position where the credit of the County is questioned and the bank steps in to say what must and must not be done, is no reason why EDUCATION should be the goat. \Now that the Provincial government and the County government are in a jam both bodies jump on the school boards and blame it all on education. If it is possible to compare the value of WASTE we are of the opinion that we have received a lot better value for the money WASTED on EDUCATION than for the money WASTED There are frills in our educational system which can be dispensed with and action to eliminate such frills should How would you like to be a member of the School Board? Right now the average urban school board is in a r'lthEl‘ unhappy plight. with County and Municipal councils I 3manding reductions in requisitions, the taxpayer howling :Cor reduced taxes, and the government further reducing the legislative grants. Trustees who are fully aware of all existing conditions are faced on one hand with the demands of the ratepayers for reductions, and on the other with their responsibilities and sense of duty to the rising generation. Moreover the standards must be kept up to earn the grants in accordance with the rules and reguâ€" lations of the Department of Education, the policy of which has unfortunately been one which encouraged school boards to spend rather than to save. Is it any wonder the School Boards :feel they are now among the most harrassed of our many public bodies. In York County even the Bank has stepped in and has decreed how much less must be spent for education this year, and this after all teachers are under contract until June, and two months of the term completed. The pathway of those in charge of education just now is not strewn with rose petals and the members are in the words of the popular song “between the devil and the deep blue sea.” PAGE TWO Advertising Ra Subscription Established 1878 AN INDEPENDENT WEEKLY PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY AT RICHMOND HILL THE LIBERAL PRINTING CO., LTD.

Microphones will be placed at every important point, while port- able transmitters will also be brought into play and bird’s eye views of the ceremonies will be broadcast from air craft flying above the city. More and more the people of Canada are coming to realize that through the medium of the radio they are able to enjoy a diversity of entertainment which no other agency can offer. By the simple turn of the dial the very best in music, drama, comedy, the latest news events of the world, the voices of famous figure-s discussing topics of interest to all, are brought into the home. As a consequence, despite any recession in business peo- ple are buying radios and taking out licenses for them in increasing num- bers. The monthly statement of the radio branch of the Marine depart- ment discloses that in ten months of the fiscal year over a hundred thous- and more licenses were issued in Can- ada than in the whole of the previous year. The ten months total was 716, 558 as compared with 598,358 in the fiscal year ended in 1932. Montreal, whose radio licenses increased by over forty thousand, heads the list with 118.980, while Toronto has 99,444, an increase of thirteen thousand.

Any individual can prove for himself that the priceless qualities symbolized by gold. when enthroned in human consciousness and unceasingly practiced, will be external; ized in unlimited abundance in the human sense of things.“ (From The Christian Science Monitor) From the beginning of history the lure of gold has drawn men to seek for it. Many individuals have endured hardship, danger. and solitude in their efforts to find and accumulate the precious metal. But there may come a time in one’s experience when, though his income has run into manv figures, and the possession of money has enabled him to fill his home with priceless treasures of rarity and beauty. he may be poorer in contentment than the servants on his staff. Christ Jesus taught that those things which are deem- ed of value in the material world are at best but symbols of spiritual realities. Inestimable and enduringP riches must accrue to the individual who withdraws his efforts from the seeking and amassing of money, and seeks with heart and mind to understand and build up in his conscious- ness those priceless qualities of purity, worth, stability, endurance and indestructibility, of which gold is symbolic. This undertaking does not involve strenuous,wearisome ef- fort, accompanied by misgivings as to ultimate success. There must be an honest desire for good, and the only sacrifice entailed is the sacrifice of what is worthlessand unprofitable. out THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO QUALITIES OF GOLD A SERIOUS SITUATION the means pf the wonder people provincial debt, ar are in themselves If you haven’t yet heard Boake Carâ€" ter, radio’s neWest commentator on the news of the day, you’ve been missing something really worth while. Boake is a commentator who is not afraid to comment and hazard a guess as to the real cause and effect of the particular news event that he is relatingâ€"espec- ially if it concerns politics. And ‘he has a particularly pleasant, conver- sational manner of telling his news and views that you’ll really enjoy. Listen to him every evening except Saturday and Sunday at 7:45 pm. over the CBS-WABC network. and I’ll wager that when you’ve heard him a few times you’ll look forward to his nrom‘ams. Another favorite program of mine is that of the Jester’s vocal trio heard every Monday evening at 7:15 over the NBC-WJZ network. To my mind they are one of the finest trio’s glor- ifying both old-time and popular songs on the air to-day. You’ll enjoy Wamp Carlson’s bedtime stories in Swedish dialect and the boys’ chatter. See if you don’t. The trio is composed of Guy Bonham, Dwight Latham and Wamp Carlson, just three discouraged insurance clerks who tore up their time cards in 1930, hammered at the NBC portals, asked for an audition and got itâ€"and a contract. Jessica Dragonette, Whose exquisite lvric soprano has won a place in the heart of millions of radio listeners everywhere. was born in Calcutta, India. and until she was six years old travelled with her father, a French- man. into all the far away and hidden corners of the world. When she reachâ€" ed school age she was brought to America and placed in the cloistered quiet of a convent school. Here she studied piano when her fingers were scarcelv able to reach an octave. Anybody enjoys a good comedy pro- gram, but it’s got to be good. Are you an Easy Ace fan? I am! Every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at 8:00 pm. my dial is set at WABC for the adventure of Jane and Ace. Jane’s droll, “dumb” humor is comparable only with that of Gracie Allen, and Ace’s resignedly sympathetic attitude towards his wife which just seems to say “nothing can be done about it” will make you laugh, and plenty. Then there are Brad and Marge to add to the fun. The skit is especially recom- mended to bridge fans. The first time she sang on the stage was in Max Beirnhardt’s nroduction of “The Miracle” as the “voice of an angel,” unseen by the audience. But her beautiful voice imnressed Dro- duction managers, and the following year she was featured in “The Student Prince," while in the following year she had a leading role in “The Grand Street Follies.” All this happened while she was in her ’teens, and she found herself a musical comedy star sought by agents with contracts in their hands before she was twontv.

A quiet dark bedroom is helpful, as is a comfortable bed. Relaxation should be complete. Extremes of room temperature are to be avoided. A free movement of cool air is essential, and for this purpose, the windows should be opened to admit of a free blow of air through the room. Bodily warmth should be ob- tained by sufficient bed-clothing and not by a high room temperature. A little food in the stomach is helpful in some cases, but a heavy meal prior to retiring- is apt to lead to physical discomfort. The postponement of the bedtime hour may be an important factor in insomnia. Late parties with too much excitement; guests who never know when to go home and hostesses who will not let them go are sworn enem- ies of sleep. Dances are now only nicely under way at an hour when a previous generation had retired for the night. Sleep, like food, is a fundamental need. Without one or the other, life would not long continue. Many peo- ple Who suffer from insomnia also have poor appetites. The combination of lack of sleep and inadequate food leads to a lowered resistance. Sleep comes best to those who are thoroughly tired and who are able to lay aside the problems of the day with its disappointments and unsolved difficulties until the morning. SLEEP AND SLEEPLESSNESS The ability to throw off the cares of the day and to compose one’s self for a night’s refreshing sleep is someâ€" thing tht is best appreciated when it is lost. To the majority of people, the hours for sleeping are just a third part of the day, following naturally upon the hours of mental and physical activity They accept sleep as a mat- ter of course. The time arrives, con- ditions are favourable, relaxation is complete, and soon they are asleep. There are a goodly number to whom sleep does not readily come. Bedtime finds this group fearful that they are about to put in another restless night. Some there are who go to bed pre- pared to make every effort to sleep. Such effort is vain. He who concen- trates on sleep invariably remains awake long into the night.
