THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 22nd, 1934 WAR AND RUMORS OF WAR The news of the world these days is featured by up- risings and turmoil and distress in all sections of the globe .nd observers in every land are speculating on the pos- .5ibility of war. God forbid that such should be the out- come. Surely by now the peoples of the world have learned that war will not solve our problems, but will rather only create new problems and more distress. Surely the people of this twentieth century can meet on common ground and find a solution to their differences without resorting to the brutalism and barbarism of war. A public opinion deter- mined that in no event will the terrors and destruction of war be tolerated is the best guarantee of peace. An ultimatum to this effect to those who deal in international intrigue should serve a useful purpose. Citizens of the world interested and concerned with the preservation of civilization should bend every energy to outlaw war as a means of settling international differencs real or imagin- ary- ik I! it III # . THE MODERN ATLAS Atlas no longer supports the civilized world. Rather, the burden rests upon the supple shoulders of a flexible- muscled young giant, a tawny haired, swiftly-moving youth known‘as Electricity. He stands with feet firmly planted at the opposite poles While coursing through his body, from negative to positive, flows the greatest force known to mankind to-day. Some call it white coal, some call it a natural phen- omenon, others call it indefinable force. Call it what one will, it is the thing to-day which hurls voices and music around the world; which turns the motors of the industries which have made Canada a great country; pulls long trains of cars laden with human freight and valuable merchandise; lights the' greatest city and the smallest hamlet. It is the thing which is taking drudgery out of the housewife’s daily tasks. It is the thing which enables science to see the inside of the human body and other mat- ter. It is the power which courses through the veins of the world to-day, every bit as necessary as the red blood 1whiich flows through the circulatory system of the human 0 y. No one catastrophe could befall the world to-day which would be more paralyzing or more devastating in its effect than the sudden loss of the natural phenomenon called elec- tricity. Man can hardly conceive of modern civilization continuing without this benevolent force. I: a: * * It: at : MUNICIPAL PROBLEMS There are three main reasons why municipal councils finish the year’s business with a deficit. The first is that the estimates of the year’s expenditures are not given enough careful attention. The second is that after the estimates are passed too often the council and committees failto live up to them and spend money and embark on schemes for which no provision was made. Lastly, insuf- ficient attention is paid to tax collections. The municipal council to attain success must give careful attention to the estimates, strictly live up to those estimates during the year and lastly make a real genuine effort to collect the tax levy.

The people of this district are justly proud of the Richmond Hill High School which enjoys a high stand- ing among the fine educational institutions of the province. It is one of the finest assets of the community and our citizens welcome the opportunity of attending the Com- mencement exercises Friday and Saturday evening of this week. * * it * t A GREATER PERIL A game of checkers so excited four Apache Indians that a fight followed which ended in four deaths.

Germany’s favorable trade balance, that is, the excess of What she sells to the rest of the world over what she buys, was one-third less in 1933 than in the previous year. The world bought about $320,000,000 less of German goods. Boycotts against German goods organized as protests against the Nazi attitude toward the Jews undoubtedly were a factor in the shrinkage. Persecution doesn’txpay. * * * =|< it * . SKATING REVIVAL . The revival of the popularity of skating in this dis- trict this winter is very gratifying. Nothing but good can come from a more general revival of this healthful outdoor, relaxation. Outdoor recreation is just as desirable in winter as in summer but unfortunately the trend in recent years has been to spend too much time indoors around the card tables or some other form of indoor recreation. If Cana- dians could spend more time out of doors they would be better for it. I * 3 * t # 3 INTERNATIONAL PLOWING MATCH FOR YORK COUNTY IN 1934 An important announcement of recent weeks is that the 1934 International Plowing Match staged annually by the Ontario Plowmen’s Association will be held thsi year in York County. The first provincial match was held in York County just one hundred years ago, so it is fitting that the centennary event should be held in this county. The big event will be held on the 550 acre farm of Mr. Frank P. O’Connor in Scarboro Township which will pro- vide an ideal site for the match. York County has sent forth some of the Dominion’s most outstanding plowmen and the 1934 match should be one of the best in the long successful history of the Association. addrbs the United Church Sunday Iday for Cleveland, Ohio, to visit her TEI 1‘ “HONE 9. #â€" THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL.

BENNETT BANS KNITTING One of the minor news items from Ottawa is the banning of knitting in the gallery of the House. It was permitted during the war, but the boys are out of the trenches and socks for the soldiers are no longer an excuse. Although some of the boys, along with another generation that reached manhood since the war, have badly needed socks in recent years. The banning notice from Mr. Speak- er does not imply that “socks” have entirely lost popularity in the House.

NEW METHODS NEEDED FOR NEW CONDITIONS Dr. Tanner of Midland, a Liberal candidate for the provincial legisla- ture, speaking in Orillia last week, denounced the Henry government for its failure to meet the needs of the present day. There is no use, he said, applying old remedies to new con- ditions and that is exactly what the Queen’s It is a long time since the hectic years 1914-18, when the loyalty of feminine hearts expressed itself in knitting for the boys.
