These are difficult times for those on whose shoulders rest the responsibility for municipal administration. Muni- cipalities are‘ faced with baffling and perplexing problems which a few years ago were practically unknown. Financ- ing in these days of economic depression when all find it difficult and many find it absolutely impossible to pay their taxes -is in itself a gigantic problem. The problem of relief is a big burden for municipal administrators and the de- mands seem to be increasing from year to year. These problems along with the usual routine of municipal ad- ministation make very exacting demands on the time of those who serve the people in municipal office. It is not to be wondered at then that in these times there are feWer men seeking office in the municipal arena. The facts are that these offices to-day are so exacting that even exper- ienced hands are finding it difficult to cope with the many problems which must be faced. The serious plight in which many municipalities find themselves to-day has driven home with great emphasis to the ratepayers the fact that responsible miunicipal offices should not be given to inexâ€" perienced hands and that the choice of municipal heads and representatives should not be determined by any frivolous fad or fancy but should be determined wholly by proven experience and ability. In View of these facts it will not be surprising if municipal elections throughout Ontario this year will lack some of their old time color. There will probâ€" ably be a notable absence of contests in those municipalities where the representatives have proven that they have handled the affairs of their municipalities reasonably well and have met the great difficulties of the present day with a reasonable amount of success. These are extremely dan- gerous times for experimenting in municipal affairs, and tim‘es when the old policy of electing this or that candidate because he happened to be a nice or good fellow should be entirely in the discard. COUNTY COUNCIL IN SESSION York County Council is in session this week. The County legislators will make a better impression on the ratepayers of the County if they make the session short. Representatives who are as well paid as County Councillors can well afford to start promptly at an early hour in the morning and work reasonably late in an effort to keep the cost of the session as low as possible. There is almost a unanimous feeling throughout Ontario that We are very much over-governed. There is also a pretty general feeling that the County Council is one of the expensive branches of government which possibly we could get along without. This is a very debatable question and we believe that the County Council can serve a very useful purpose, but if it is to continue to serve that useful purpose it must give tang- ible evidence of its usefulness and must correct the imâ€" pression which is undoubtedly abroad that the sessions are unnecessarily lengthy and costly. TAXES, SWEET AND BITTER At the annual convention of the Women’s Institutes of Eastern Ontario held recently at Ottawa, one of the reso- lutions passed called for a removal of the tax on sugar, cereals and matches, on the grounds that these articles are necessities. The taxation of sugar comes home in a very direct form to every householder and the ladies are justified in protestâ€" 1112' :11: REMOVING HATS AT FUNERALS A frequent cause of death, especially among older peo- ple, is illness brought on by exposure While attending funer- als during raw or cold weather. People who follow indoor occupations are apt to catch cold by standing in a cold wind or rain, but the mlost frequent cause of colds on such occas- ions is the custom of standing bareheaded during the ser- vice. It is a nice custom, but one not suitable to a climate such as we have-in this part of world. Is there anybody who has not heard of some acquaintance or friend at some time or other who has not lost his life as the result of stand- ing bareheaded at a funeral? We attended a large funeral a few days ago where an overflow of a hundred people were standing on the verandah to hear the service through the open door. As the service started they bared their heads, and then a quiet voice was heard saying: “It is the wish of the family that nobody take a risk by removing his hat.’_’ It was a thoughtful and sensible suggestion.

Let’s start right now to work for its success. The council and the commit- tee in charge will do everything possible to ensure the sucâ€" cess of the celebration, but the real success of the Jubilee will be determined b ythe degree to which the citizens of the town enter into the spirit of the historical event. Let’s start in right toâ€"day, and from now on let everyone be a booster for the Richmond Hill Diamond Jubilee celebration. Community birthday celebrations are always interestâ€" ing and beneficial. It is interesting to turn back the pages of time and glimpse at conditions as they were in the “good old days.” As we leaf over those pages of history We canâ€" not help but be inspired by the industry and perseverance of the early pioneers who laid the foundation for the com- munity in which We are privileged to live. Looking back- wards we will take new pride in the progress which has been made and go forward with new inspiration and new determination. to accomplish even greater progress in the days that are to come: _ _ d ‘ “ THE DIAMOND JUBILEE Early next month present and former citizens of Rich- mond Hill will celebrate the sixtieth anniversary of the in- corporation of this village. It is fitting that this important milepost in the history of the community should be marked by some sort of celebration and we sincerely hope that all our citizens as/Well as former residents will join in making the Diamond Jubilee memorable and successful.

THE LIBERA L The down-town Kiwanis Club of Toronto entertained the Junior Far- mer members of the Grain and Calf Clubs of York and Ontario Counties on Nov. 15th. Some of the boys from here at- tended the banquet which was held at the Royal York Hotel. The chief speaker of the evening was Major HEART BEATS The menace of heart disease is brought home to us when some friend dies suddenly from this condition. More deaths occur from heart disease than from any other disease. Never- theless, the picture is not as‘ black as this statement would suggest. There is one bright spot, namely that the number of deaths from heart disease in early life are decreasing. The increase in heart disease after forty-five is due, in part, to the fact that more people are now reaching adult life as a result of our better control of the diseases of early life. After forty-five, the body begins to show signs of wear and tear. The heart is one of the first organs to show such changes, and heart disease, in this case, is simply a wearing out of.the organ. Heart disease, other than the form that is due to actual old age, or to premature 'old age, is tlme cause of much suffering and of the cutting short of many lives, In order to pre- vent its ravages, we must consider what causes these cases, because the hope of prevention lies in the pre- vention or control of the causes.

Heart disease may follow any of the ordinary communicable diseases of childhood, such as diphtheria, scarâ€" lert fever or measles, but it is espec- ially apt to occur after rheumatic fever, even of the mildest form. This means that if hart disease is to be avoided, all such cases of illness, no matter how mild the attack, must be carefully cared for, and before the little patient is allowed to go back to school or take part in games or active play, he should be given a thorough examination in order that the doctor may determine whether 01‘ not the [heart is all right and‘ that it is capable of meeting the strain of active life without injury.

If the heart is damaged, the doctor will give advice on how to live so as to conserve the strength of the organ.
