Acton Free Pressâ€"We hear a great deal these days about increased relief grants by governments, new road spending activities, and the usual pre-election promises, which all sound very nice, especially for a chap who hopes to annex a share of the extra activity. But governments raise their funds by taxation, in one form or another. It is your money that is being promised so readily to help you out and very often in the course of making the expenditure a lot of governmental administration creeps in and your money doesn’t stretch to its utmost in doing the work on hand. Promise time is just before the election. Pay day and its new methods of raising the pay roll are the after- math of the election. There is nothing surer than this and with the prolific promises emanating from Provincial Gov- ernment circles these days every man who thinks clearly wonders where the funds will be raised and how they as individuals can possibly pay more. “THIS MAN HEPBURN” In this issue we reproduce an article on “This Man Hep- burn” from the pen of Charles Vining in Toronto Saturday Night. Charles Vining is an outstanding journalist and Toronto Saturday Night is well known for its support of the party politically opposed to the subject of the sketch so the tribute paid the Liberal leader is all the more worthy of note and can reasonably be accepted as a fair pen picture of the man who will probably become Ontario’s premier af- ter the next election. Mr. Hepburn has been subjected to a campaign of abuse by those politically opposed to him but he has carried on from one success to another and from one end of Ontario to the other has been received with enthus- iasm and acclaimed as a leader worthy of the support of the electorate. Those who know Mitchell Hepburn never doubted his ability and even his opponents credit him with the qualities of courage, fearlessness and honesty. We are sure our readers will be interested in the independent sketch of this outstanding public figure which we reproduce in this issue. Sun, Swift Current, Sask.â€"â€"When you hear a man run- ning down his home town or city or business or industry in it, or his home newspaper, take a good look at him. Ten to one he will have a chin as long as a rail, an eye as rest- less as a horse thief; and he will hitch around in his chair as though he had a touch of St. Anthony’s dance. Talk with him awhile and you will discover that he has made a failure of everything he hase ever tried (except being disagreeable), and nine times out of ten he is dependent on the public for favors or support; you will find him of a meddlesome peev- ish, jealous nature; a man who is always complaining, and although he has but little, if anything of his own, one would imagine to hear him talk that he had a quit claim deed to the earth and a first mortgage on heaven. He knows every- body’s business and why shouldn’t he? He has none of his own to take up his time. Such people, like mosquitoes, were not created in vain, perhaps, but one fact remains staple, they do not add materially to the pleasure of conducting legitimate business. t The fair on Vicoria Day this year will be better than ever. This is not merely some advance bally-hoo but it is our honest observation after watching the officers, directors and various committees planning and preparing for the day. A splendid program has been arranged and the Horse Show Will undoubtedly be one of the most attractive ever held in this district. Keen interest has been shown by outstanding horsemen and there will be a notable increase this year in the entries in the attractive saddle and hurdle events. The Richmond Hill Fair needs your support. Start now and BOOST for its success. Talk it up to your friends here and in other places. Plan to spend the day at the Fair and invite your friends to do likewise. Let everyone get behind the fair and make it a record breaker in attendance. BOOST THE FAIR '; Richmond Hill’s eighty-fifth annual Spring Fair will be held Thursday, May 24th. An institution which can survive the ups and downs for eighty-five years must have someâ€" thing in it really worth while. An organization without real worth does not live that length of time. Citizens of Richmond Hill and the surrounding district may take just pride in the fact that on May 24th the annual Spring Fair will be held for the eighty-fifth consecutive time. The secret of the success of the Richmond Hill Fair, we believe, lies in the untiring devotion of the officers, dir- ectors and members who have carried on the fair organiza- tion from year to year, and the loyalty of the great body of citizens who support it. These are assets of which any organization might well be proud and they are responsible for the succeeding successes of Richmond Hill Fair. The end came suddenly and his death was a great shock to his host of friends and cast a gloom over the en- tire district. The funeral services held last Saturday were very largely attended by people of all walks and stations of life and emphasized the fact that the life of the deceased touched a widespread circle of activity. - Representatives of the judiciary, the state, the province, the county, the legal profession and the great rank and file of the citizens joined in paying tribute to the memory of one whose life was so freely devoted to public life. Col. Lennox will long be remembered for his political successes and whenever politics are discuséed during many years to come the notable conquests led by the famous “Herb” will be recalled. His success as a barrister will long be remembered by the legal profession but above all his thousands of friends will choose to. remember him for his many fine human qualities and his numberless and un- recorded kind acts to those in trouble and distress will be long remembered in many North York homes. The late Col. T~ Herbert Lennox possessed unique per- sonal qualities which made him a popular figure and his political successes were no less notable than his success in the legal profession. OUTSTANDING PERSONALITY GONE The death of Col. T. Herbert Lennox removes a colorful and outstanding personality of North York. For over a quarter of a century he was prominent in the public life of this constituency and his name was familiar in every house- hold.
