At an early age she went to live with her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Laird on what is now known as Bayview Avenue. Some six years ago she moved from the Laird estate and took up residence with her Sister, Mrs. Dr. Kelly. Her illness was of short duration following a stroke seizure some two weeks ago. She was an active member of York Mills Baptist Church and always took Besides her husband, she is sur- vived by two daughters, Miss Helen MacLean and Mrs. Harold Black of Toronto, two sisters, Mrs. Percy Quantz and Mrs. R.

In- terment was made in the Richmond Hill Cemetery where many friends gathered to express their sympathy, the service at the graveside being conducted by Rev. Dr. Pidgeon and Rev. Geo. E. Coulter.

This was the unanimous decision of the iBoard of Education at the regular meeting held Tuesday evening. The practice of gossiping grievances, real gor imaginary, around the town indis- .:criminate1y was severely scored by iseveral members who pointed out that .it was greatly in the interests of proper discipline that if there are any complaints they should be placed be- :fore the board. It was pointed out fthat in certain cases where rumors were abroad they were originated not iby parents or those directly con- icerned, but by others, and investiâ€" ‘gation had proven that those directly concerned had no grievance whatever. The unanimous opinion was expressed that the principal and teachers should have a free hand in the matter of discipline, and that whether or not the strap was to be used rested with the judgment of the teacher. IN Trustee Rev. L. C. Secrett suggest- led the advisability of the Board con- sidering evening classes next fall. He said he felt that such classes served a very useful purpOSe and would give an opportunity to young men and women of the community to improve themselves in their leisure time. Other members of the Board con- curred in the suggestion and it will be investigated during the summer months. Members present were: Chairman ‘A. A. Eden. Trustees Mrs. 0. L. Wright, Rev. L. C. Secrett, Bert Cook, T. H. Trench. F. N. Hopper, J. E. Atkinson, C. H. Sanderson and J. F. Atkinson. The auditor’s report was presented and read, and it will appear in a future issue of The Liberal.

HOME OF MR. FRANK LEGGE BURGLARIZED Monday evening between seven and eleven o’clock, during the absence of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Legge. Jefferson, their home was burglarized and orien- tal rugs valued at over $600.00 were stolen. The thieves gained admission by breaking the glass in the door, and reaching through to release the lock. Nothing but the rugs and a fancy purse were taken. County Constable S. A. Barraclough is investigating. The Father and Son Banquet held last Thursday night under the' aus- pices of the Arrow Tuxis group was a very successful event. Following a sumptuous supper the following program was carried out; words of welcome by the presiding officer, Joe Mills, a few remarks by the leader of the group, Mr. A. R. Phipps, toast to the church proposed by Dick Patrick and responded to by Rev. G. E. Coulâ€" ter, toast to the fathers proposed by Jim Ley and responded to by Dr. J. P.

A vote of thanks to the speaker, and all those who helped make the eVent a success was spon- sored by Jack Beresford and heartin endorsed by the gathering. The Arrow Tuxis group desire ’at this time to express thanks to all who gave their support and contribution in any way to the success of the event. T. H. Trench appeared before coun- cil on behalf of the Agricultural So- ciety asking for a grant, and also asked that ethe entrance to the park be improved by the removal of the lock-up and the erection of a suitable entrance. Councillor McLean :sug- gested that a suitable iock-up could be fixed up in the basement of the municipal building without any large expense. Councillor Mills said he would favor the improvement, but as no provision was made in the esti- mates for such expenditure he did‘ not see how the council could do it this year. “We’ve struck our rate and we should try to keep within it," he said. Mr. Trench suggested that the Work could be done by some of the unem- ployed. Any action on the matter was laid over for the present. A grant of $40.00 was made to the Agricultural Society and $50.00 to the Horticultural Society. It was pointed out that the Horticultural Society plans to improve the bank on the west side of Yonge Street at the southern entrance of the town. At the regular meeting of the counâ€" cil of Richmond Hill Village, held Monday evening, a by-law was passed prohibiting the erection of curb gas pumps in the village. There already being several curb pumps in the town but the council felt that there should be a by-law regulating all future in- stallations. In future, 'all pumps erected must be' at least eight feet from the street line. The question of placing a tax on the pumps as is done in several municipalities was dis- cussed, but no action was taken. FINE PRQGRAM AT FATHER AND SON BANQUET _ COUNCIL BANS CHEERSâ€"PUMPS IN THE VILLAGE THE UNITED CHURCH Y.P.S. SUCCESSFUL EUCHRE Miss MacPhail came from Ottawa for the meeting. She was late at- riving- and she interupted one of the speakers with the request that she “be called now” as she had to “speak, eat, catch a. train and get back to Ottawa” that night. She said she didn’t like travelling up and down the country at her own expense and inconvenience and then come to a Recent government loans at high rates of interest were severely crit- icized by Miss MacPhail who urged that the state take its rightful place in controlling the finance of the coun- try. A central or government bank should be established. A change in our financial structure was most necessary. The value of the dollar changes and our farmers are trying to do the impossible in carrying on under present conditions. The cry for government economy was wrong. They should spend and spend until the back of the depression is broken. But they should not borrow money at high interest rate to do this spending. they should issue new money. The C.C.F. aimed at the production of the commodities for use, and not the pro- duction of commodities for profit. The feature of profit should be elim- inated from business. The old theory of hard work and thrift was wrong. We had been taught to save and that it was a crime to spend. That consumption of goods was a sin. How to consume what we can produce is the problem of the day. Taxation should be di- rected at capital and not on the mass- es. Taxation on accumulated wealth would make a more equitable distri- bution of capital. Miss MacPhail would have an income tax that would be a tax. She would start at $1000 salaries and get heavier as it goes up and never stop. On a $100,000 annual income she would take it all. or she might just take 95 per cent. she said. The inheritance tax would be fixed so great fortunes would not be passed down a direct family line. Unspent surpluses of corporations should be taxed. Despite inclement weather and the bad condition of the country roads, Richmond Hill Masonic Hall was filled almost to capacity Monday night, when Miss Agnes MacPhail, Canada’s only woman MP. and other speakers expounded the gospel of the C.C.F‘., and urged the electors to sup- port the organization which aims to abolish the capitalistic sys- tem and establish a new social order. Miss MacPhail in dealing with econ- omic conditions deplored conditions existing at the present time and ex- pressed the belief that we are near the end of the smooth-Working of our present system. She said in 1930 the people thought a super-man in the person of the present Prime Minister had come to lead them, but now they know better. “We don’t any longer believe in superâ€"men” she said. Mr. Bennet had tried high tariffs, and higher tariffs, excise taxes, sales tax- es and a. host of other things but none were any good. And the Lib- eral party isn’t any better, she said. Not a chance of getting anything from either of the two old parties, they had nothing to offer. Miss MacPhail said she had been in the House of Ctmmons for twelve years and learned many thingSâ€" some hopeful and some hopeless. She has no use for partiesâ€"that is, po- litical parties. One great menace to Canada’s future, she thinks, is the rigidity of the two major political parties. The recent Rhodes budget of the present government was doing the very thing which should not be done at this timeâ€"reducing the pur- chasing power of the consumer. The C.C.F. is not ready at the present time to lay down any definite plat- form, they merely have adopted a number of basic principles. One thing‘ which must be done, said the speaker, is to ’bring finance loom- pletely under social control. “I do not think the Canadian people will unendingly stand hunger and want in a land of plenty” she said. The prob- lem of to-day is to solve the distri- bution of the wealth we are capable of producing. Our history shows a great lack of planning on the part of those who governed the country.

Quite a number from Maple and Hope attended the supper in Edgeley Hall last Friday evening and enjoyed the Biblical play, “The Dream of Queen Esther.” Mr. William Black of Toronto spoke on “Socialism and the C.C.F." He was introduced as a eteran fighter in the labor group. He point- ed out that the C.C.F. promised to abolish the capitalistic system. He chose to refer the two major political parties as the “too old parties.” Mr. Henry Moyle of Richmond Hill expressed his belief in the principles of the C.C.F. and assured it his sup- port. r body else made a speech.
