Mr. Croll’s statement is a sharp warning to all relief list slackers. There are of course, persons in receipt of relief who are physically unfit to work and there are times 'when no relief work may be available for those who are physically fit; under these circumstances assistance will be provided. There appears to be no magic method whereby to brighten the future of muncipal tax-paying, except by care- ful expenditure and avoiding the reckless piling up of future debts that characterized so many municipalities in the past. â€"St. Mary’s Journal. I, therefore, pledge myself (1) to co-operate with 'and support the public authorities in their function for the pro- tection of life and limb on our streets and highways; and (2) to promote, so far as lies in my power, any system of fair and efficient enforcement, as well as any thoroughâ€" going system of safety education that may be undertaken. And I further pledge myself as an individual to accept my personal responsibility to set an example to my family, to my neighbors and to my associates, in law observance, personal carefulness and courtesy on the highway. Hon. David Croll, Ontario Minister of Welfare and Public Affairs, has announced that able-bodied men who are offered work and Who refuse to accept must be stricken off the relief lists. This announcement will have the hearty approval of every right-thinking citizen.- Mr. Lroll says: “No person is going to get relief if he Won’t work for it, and when they refuse to work for it, thelr relief must be cut off.” Municipal affairs in our towns, cities and townships are attracting more interest than they used to receive. That’s one good thing that has come out of the depression. Our taxes are so hard to pay that we can no longer ignore them. Thenthe first thing we do, is to criticize. We are all good at criticizing. And it’s alright, if we can keep it on a constructive basis. Most municipal councils are tied down by debenture debts that have been piled up in the past and that demand heavy payments every year for prin- cipal and interest. But there isn’t much that can be done about it at the present moment except to be as economical as possible, hereby lightening a little bit at any rate the burden of the taxpayer. ' Resolved, that I (Repeat your name), hereby express my belief that it is possible to use motor vehicles Without the present indefensible toll of suffering and death from highway accidents. I believe that all communities can conâ€" stantly and permanently reduce highway accidents by the same methods that have been found successful in industrial accident prevention and that this would mean a handsome return to our people. A WORTHY UNDERTAKINM The citizens of this district as expected made a gener- ous response to the appeal for provisions and clothing to be sent to the needy out west. A generous supply of vege- tables, various kinds of provisions and warm clothing went forward from this district on Tuesday and as a result of the generosity of the people here many hearts will be made glad and new joy brought to many homes in Western Canada. The response by the Ontario citizens to the appeal for help by our Western friends is very gratifying and is evidence of the fact that despite everything the hearts of the people remain kind and generous. Our Willingness to do somthing to tide these unfortunate citizens of Canada over a difficult place is evidence of a true Christian Cana- dian spirit. The great majority of those who are receiving assis- tance from relief funds are anxious to find employment and to work for the assistance that is provided; the small min- ority who take the attitude that the state owes them a living will have to make up their minds to accept the em- ployment that may be offered them or else find themselves without assistance. There will be no sympathy for them. i; A DELIGHTFUL FUNCTION This community and all others could well afford to have many more nights such as the Horticultural Society banquet, held in the Masonic Hall, Wednesday evening. It is a fine thing for the people of a community to sit down shoulder to shoulder at such an event and enjoy an educa- tional and enjoyable program. Situated as we are very close to the city of Toronto there is an unending supply of good speakers always available and there is no reason why the people of this community should not often enjoy such a treat as was enjoyed last evening. The Horticultural So- ciety are to be commended for their efforts in sponsoring the banquet and we hope that its success will inspire otner organizations to follow suit. t We believe the boirs and girls of this district Will recog- nize a good thing when they see it and will co-operate in making the Richmond Hill Hallowe’en party an annual event. ' The citizens of Richmond Hill will be hosts to the youngsters of the district at a Hallowe’en Party next Wed- nesday evening, Oct. 3lst. There will be fun and amuse- ment galore and it is an inovation in our community life which is most commendable. An active and practical in- terest in the welfare of our younger folk will pay rich divi- dends in the years to come and we believe will be thoroughly appreciated by our boys and girls. It is hoped that the function will be an annual event. It’s continuance as such depends largely on the youngsters and their behavior next Wednesday. If they join heartily in the program and at its conclusion go home in orderly manner refraining from the usual destructive pranks which have often marred Hallowe’en night it is likely the annual Hallowe’en treat will be continued from year to year. If on the other hand the young people partake of the good time offered at the party and then proceed with a series of destructive pranks municipal authorities cannot be blamed if another year the money is spent on extra police rather than on a Hallowe’en party for the boys and girls.

PAGE TWO MUNICIPAL PROBLEMS CHALLENGE ATTENTION OF TAXPAYERS THURSDAY, OCTOBER 25th, 1934 NO RELIEF FOR SLACKERS THE HALLOWE’EN PARTY A RESOLUTION A old farmer friend of mine, who long ago made a assignment and went to help keep the home fires burnin’, used to tell me that only two kinds of fools go farmin'â€"a ass and a millionaire. I reckon that’s where the word assets comes from that heads a empty column onnall the multitude of papers a filler is asked to sign these days. Talk about a autograph mania,â€"it’s a epidemic! I never did feel so important in all my life, with everybody so much deâ€" Anyhow this business of farmin’ which ain’t a business was the last cuckoo to lay hxer eggs in my belfry and I’m still waitin’ for ’em to hatch out into somethin’ besides nude de- ficits. Anyhow I ain’t a millionaire, so I guess the 01d feller was right. I should relate, however, this old bird went bankrupt after he had quit\the farm and took a job as a. shoe fitter in a Follies’ Chorus. What a lot of old guys I know would court bank- ruptcy for such a job! But it’s folly to pine, fellers, ’cause such jobs ,are no more; these opera‘ birds don’t wear even shoes these days. But at that they’re not putting anything over on the clodhopvper, about the only difference bein’ that he still leaves a little more for the imagination to work on! sirin’ my signature. Every time I see a gu with a piece of paper I catch myself sayin’, “What a pleasure, really.” Well, it’s a ill wind that blows somebody’s umbrella outside in. Well, I learned several; some by study, some by experience, and one was just Wished on me by a, pill roller who had a grudge against me, and this one was farmin’; that is, if you can call farmin’ a business,â€"and yet 1 never before heard of a business that used only one side of the ledger like farmin’. Anyhow that’s all I use; the other side I use for picture draw- in’ and each s‘ucceedin’ year gives me more room for pictures. Another year of depression and all I need enter is nothin’ in, nothin’ out; two more years and I‘ll pass as a artist. When a young- guy is on a. job that doesn’t pay he changes to some other work or gets married, but the 01d fellers can’t do this on account of bigwamy, so they just have to be con- tent to slither along in the same old; nut till better times come or the rut takes to the drain pipe that, sooner or later, leads us all to the dump. As I see it, about the only hope left for the farmer thes-e days is to develop his‘self into a contortionist, then he 'can make both ends meet. So this business that ain’t a busi- ness has become so vexed that they are tellin’ us not to worry, just keep goin’, only get another jackass or another goat to keep yourself com- pany and' call it mixed farmin’, and then everybody will be completely K. 0., which, of course, means knocked out! Every reformer’s plan for Utopia begins the same way. First elect him to a nice soft job. Well, there are worse things than Lcin’ a farmer, even if he is growin’ so small that his creditors have to use a magnifyin’ glass to find him. and Harness Repairs Anyhow when a kid got old enough to use his head for somethin’ besides sollin’ pillow cases, he was- told to go after any profession he pleased, but that he must also learn some other trade or business so if he bdid go bankrupt in one he could still maybe make a livin’ with the other. Maple, Ont. The old fiolks drew the line and the kids hewéd to it; and boy o-boy, if you went over the line! Thunder and lightnin’ was bad, but dad’s wrath was awful; that is, when he wrathed. Harness I came from a old family of com. moners, with some few aristocrats on Lhe side lines, therefore I was raised in a old fashioned way; that is, a feller had to walk circumspectly and kow-tow ’00 his elders, or else have his back anointed with the un-distilled balm of g'illiad.
