Motormen should not be expected to collect fares, run the car, and po- lice it. But if a plainclothes man were put on occasionally with orders to eject anyone found smoking, and leave him to pay his fare over again on the next car, this nuisance would be rapidly eliminated. ’ There is no use blaming citizens for buying cars and playing the Good Samaritan with their friends as» long as we get the wretched service at present provided. to put a stop to it. Most patrons of the road indignantly endure a good deal of discomfort rather than make themselves conspicious by policing the car. Nor should this be necessary. The smokers well know that they are defying regulations, but the T.T.C. would do Well to hang in the middle of the car a non-smoking notice as conspicious as the one describing the delights of their coach service, etc. In addition to the bad air and the cold, one has to endure the reek of strong tobacco. It is a very rare thing for a car to make the trip either to or from Toronto without one or more men smoking. The motormen pay no attention to this abuse, unless specifically asked by some. passenger And that. suggests a second serious defect in our present cars: the absoâ€" lute lack of ventilation. Winter and faummer alike cars are sent out with what are practically sealed windows. This is another piece of slovenly man- agement. t car should leaVe the barns in tuch condition as that. Too much heat is preferable to too little, for it should always be possible, if neces- sary to let down a window fl'onLthe top. Even in midwinter, in a frigid car, it is a common experience for passen- gers who ask for the turning on of heat to be told that the apparatus is not working, or that it is impossible Mply more heat. we have winter temperatures in Oct. â€"-or even in Septemberâ€"the cars should be warmed accordingly. The outlay for heating in emergencies would be slight and temporary, where- as the illness resulting from such a chilling as passengers have been sub- jected to recently may well be not only expensive but permanent. for the good of the muniCIpalltleS served ('2) by the unfortunate step- child of the T.T.C. “Changeling” would indeed be a better term than stepchild. Under Hydro management we had comfort- able, well-heated cars, quick service, courteous management, and provision for the large proportion of passengers who do not wish to travel in a reek of tobacco smoke. However, having made that initial blunder of having the T.T.C. operate :he! line, taxpayers should see to it ahat before a few more scores of citâ€" izens along the route are goaded into motor-car transportation, certain es- sential improveemnst are made in the running of the road. The first is an adequate heating system. On a forty-minute run heat requirements are conditioned by the weather, not by date or seaSOn. If‘ u... . A recent out-ofâ€"town visitor to the Hill, arriving in winter clothes, and chilled to the bone, asked: “How do you ever endure your radial service?” It was a fine advertisement for our transportation Milities and voiced general opinion much too prevalent for the good of the municipalities served (‘2) by the unfortunate ste'p- The E Sir:â€" ASKS FOR BETTER SERVICE 0N RADIAL CARS The Editor, Richmond Hill Liberall, We are equipped to give you prompt service, and you will find the quality and the price right.

I In the humblest spirit of helpful land constructive criticism to help the people’s railroad on North Yonge St., in eather the storm of the present economic depression, I make the fol- lowing suggestions: (3) the elimina- tion of at least half the present un- [necessary switches which considerably 'slows up the service and which I can see serve no useful service; (b) erec- tion of some lighting at some of at least the most important stops in the northern district such as at Lang- 'staff. I trust the radial management will ‘look into those matters and if there is any reason Why such could [not be done I would be very pleased ito learn of it through your valuable l'paper. Thanking you for the space, E I am, Editor, The Liberal, Sir:â€" - I only wish our communities had more organizations as full of public spirit as the AAA. and I am sure the world would be a ‘better place in which to live. It is very encouraging when organizations such as this are willing to give of their time and ef- fort to such: a worthy cause as that of trying to bring joy‘ and gladness to the kiddies at Christmastide. I with the organization every sucâ€" cess and I hope the citizens generally will respond wholeâ€"heartedly to the appeal. Come on friends and readers of The Liberal, save your Bucking- ham cigarette and tobacco packages for the AAA. and the kiddies. BOOSTER. COMMENDS A.A.A. FOR CHRISTMAS TOY EFFORT Editor of The Liberal, Dear Sir:â€" Let me commend the Richmond Hill A.A.A. through the columns of your valuable paper for their public- spirited undertaking in entering the Buckingham Christmas Toy contest. The aim is a worthy one and the A. AA. deserve the support and help of the people of this entire district in such worthy work. JVJ -â€"--* .. now under the cloud of economic disâ€" tress. A few treats not necessarily lavish would do much to brighten the lives of those hardest hit by the pres- ent unemployment situation and some plan for the entertainment and amuse ment of the people. Could something like this be worked out? I just pass along this idea for yourself and your readers to turn over in their minds with the hope that some p ublic- spirited individual or organization will take the lead in some such line of action during the coming winter. Has it ever accurred to you or to your readers that we as individuals are missing a great opportunity for public service in these days of stress and strain? I know that our muniâ€" cipalities are making a fairly good job of looking after the unemployed in providing them with the necessiâ€" ties of life in the line of food and clothing. What I have in mind is that a group of people throughout the district could perform a wonderful service by organizing and providing these families with a few of the little extras of life which. would add much joy and happiness to those homes SUGGESTS IMPROVEMENTS IN RADIAL SERVICE TO DISTRESSED Editor of The Liberal, Dear Sir:â€" WOULD ORGANIZE TO GIVE HELP AND ENCOURAGEMENT RADIAL PATRON “INTERESTED” The official court of Plebiscite in East York gives the following result: For 2,284; against 2,357; majority against 73; rejected 41; spoiled 30; total vote polled 4,641; total vote on dists 9,680. , A party has been looking through some of the rooms in the Grand Cen- tral Building, the intention being to start a creamery in this place if sat- isfactory arrangements can. be made. Mr. H. A. Lunau will be at The Liberal Office on the afternoon of Tuesday, Oct. 18th, to issue Deer Hunting Licenses to any parties who desire them for the season. Price for license is $2.00 and each hunter is allowed to kill two deer during the season which is from November lst to 15th inclusive. A meeting of King Plowmen’s As- sociation was held at Kettleby on Monday, Oct. 10th. The members were out in full force. It was de- cided to hold the match on Mr. T. H. Legge’s farm, Lot 64, Con. 1, King, near Temperanceville. The commit- tee are making every effort to make this the most successful ever held by the society. The Railway Committee of the County Council with the County En- gineer and other interested parties went over the Metropolitan line on Tuesday north of this village. It has been thought by some people that parts of the new track were 'be- ing placed too high, hence the in- spection of the same. Hereafter Deputy-Reeve will have no place at Municipal Council Boards an amendment to the Municipal Code in 1898 which appears in R.S.O., Sec. 75, reads as follows: “The Council of every township shall consist of a reeve who shall be heard thereof, and four councillors, who shall be elected by general vote.” In 'towns of less than 5,000 the Council shall consist of a mayor and six councillors, to be elected by a general vote, thus doing away with the Ward system. Mr. H. A. Nicholls and his mother have returned home after a. nine weeks’ trip across the ocean. They visited England, Ireland, Scotland, and France, and bear with them many recollections of the old land. Their many friends were pleased to learn that their trip was a most enjoyable one. The annual Plowing Match of Vaughan Plowmen’s Association will be held near Kleinburg on Tuesday, the lst of November; King follows -on Thursday, 3rd- of November at Temperanceville; and East York’s Match will take place at Malvern on Tuesday; the 8th of November. A meeting of the Public Library was held in The Liberal Office on Monday evening, members present, Crosby, Sanderson and McMahon. The entertainment committee was authorized to arrange for an enter- tainment on Thanksgiving evening, November 24th. Additional duties were added to the work of ‘the librar- ian, and his salary for rent, fuel, light, caretaking and acting as Iiâ€" brarian was raised from $69.00 to $80.00 a year, to commence on the first of November. In future service will be held in St. Mary’s Anglican Church every Sunday at 7 pm]. instead of 3 p.m. as heretofore. Mr. W. H. P. Clement, the newly appointed Crown Prosecutor for the Yukon, left Toronto last week to as- sume his new duties in Dawson City. The York County W.C.T.U. held their annual convention at Newmar- ket this week. The program which was an interesting one contained papers, reports, etc., from members of the Richmond Hill Union. ’From Our Issue of Oct. 20th, 1898 Way Back inthe Liberal Files Supper at Victoria Square United Church.

Coming Events f WEDNESDAY, NOV. 8thâ€"Fowl THIRTY-FIVE YEARS AGO THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO “Pathways between graves should be sewn to lawn, but there should be no pulling about of headstones, simâ€" ply to create geometrical order. Not one old grave should be disturbed in any way, for it is in its present state that true beauty lies. It is not simply a question of historic associa- tion ,but a question of our right to do so. Level an old mound and some- thing is taken away from the back- ground of our countryside, from our contacts with the past and from ac- tual family associations which never can be brought back. Restore our pioneer burying grounds, by all meansâ€"but do not make the graves the victims of modern insistence on the virtue that is presumed to exist in sympathy.” These comments from Mr. Perkins Bull are called forth by the announce- ment of plans to restore many old and neglected cemeteries and are in the nature of a warning, lest in our struggle to attain orderliness we may lose the beauty to be found in old and dear thing‘s. “Let us safeguard our fathers’ sep- ulchres,” says Mr. Perkins Bull. “The sons and daughters of Peel, returning home from time to time will be brok- en-hearted to see what resembles a bowling green in place of “the mould- ‘ering heap of earth” which they re- member as marking the exact spot in which a father or mother is buried.” ~“A grave which is changed in its visible contour is no longer the grave in which the pioneer was laid to rest” says Mr. Perkins Bull. “Therefore all Works of restoration should be car- ried out in such a way that the beauty of the scent will be synchroâ€" nized with the historic associations of the burying ground. Briars, woods and rank grasses should never have been allowed to grow and should im- mediately be torn out. Broken-down outside fences should be repaired, but they should not be replaced by cheap, modern constructions of wire. Fencâ€" es enclosing individual graves or fam- ily plots should not be molested in any way, for surely where these exist they do not encircle the graves of the least important citizens of their day. There are other reasons: The star studded cast headed by dynamic Katharine Hepburn, Douglas Fair- banks, Jr., and ‘Adolphe- Menjou. The sparkling direction by that master megaphonist, Lowell Sherman. And the play by brilliant Zoe Akins. “Morning Glory” is the story of a fighter, and a dramatic romance with New York’s colorful Broadway as its background. It presents Miss: Hepburn, the screen’s most interesting personality, as a girl who believes in herself, who knows She has the talents to become a great actress. In stirring- fashion, it depicts heir courageous fight to win recognition, with its disappointments, its heartbreaks, and its final triumph. All the world loves a lover, and all the world adores a fighter. These are two reasons why all the world will love RKO-Radio Pictures? “Morn ing Glory,” which will be at the Capitol Theatre next week. It gives young Fairbanks one of the strongest roles of his career, as a young theatrical producer who believ- es in the struggling- girl, and eventâ€" ually teaches her the meaning of love, and it presents Menjou as a fascinat- ing man-ofâ€"the~world. “It must be wonderful,” commented the colored maid. “Ah wishes Ah was educate¢.”â€"-Christian Science Monitor. “Topsy,” said the mistress to the maid, “just look at this table. Why, I can write my name in the dust.” Master: “Yes, I hear it knocking.” â€"Tennessee Mugwump. CONTOURS OF GRAVES SHOULD NOT BE MOLESTED SAYS ‘ WM. PERKINS BULL Valetâ€"“Sir, your car is at the door.” These are the views expressed by Wm. Perkins Bull, K.C., author of the forthcoming history of the County of Peel. Mr. Bull further points out that although the restoration of old cemeteries is a work of the highest importance, the elimination of the contours of graves should not be con- sidered, even for a moment. In several cases in Peel, for ex- ample, attempts have been made, or are being made, to clean up old cem- eteries, a worthy object in itself. When plans call for the levelling of all mounds, however, and for the re- moval of wooden, iron, or other pal- ings, or railings, or other fences which surround any grave, or family plot, so as to produce a lawn-like surface, the grass on which may be cut cheaply, the result is unworthy of our generation. Works of beautification, undertakâ€" en though they may be from a sense of high public spirit, often become works of desecration when seen through the eyes of "the historian. A case in point is found in the effort to restore historic burying grounds and, in this way, to honor the memâ€" ory of our forefathers. “MORNING GLORY” HAS EVERYTHING FURNITURE: J.
