A HAPPY NEW YEAR Here’s hoping that the New Year will be hung with horseshoes for all friends and readers of The Liberal. That health and prosperity will be the lot of all. That the problems which face the world will be solved to the general betterment of all the people. A Happy New Year to you! “DRIVE SAFELY” A GOOD MOTTO FOR 1935 Enlistment of service clubs and Boards of Trade in Ontario “Drive Safely” move is announced from Queen‘s Park, Toronto. Rotary, Lions and Kiwanis are joining with the Ontario Motor League, the Ontario Safety League and the Boards of Trade in sponsorship of a Province-wide safety campaign. The toll of the last four yearsâ€"1,981 killed, 32,222 in- jured, and property damage of $3,797,417â€"has been blazon- ed on publicity, which keynotes the warning to “look out for children.” Behind the campaign and in co-operation with the organizations is the Motor Vehicles Branch of the Department of Highway. All car drivers are urged to co-operate in the move- ment to reduce accidents and the resultant deaths, injuries and property damages. Start the New Year right! CHANGE IN OLD AGE PENSIONS ADMINISTRATION Hon. D. A. Croll, Ontario Minister of Welfare, an- nounces that a new system will go into effect this month in connection with Old Age Pensions. After that date County Judges will decide on applications for pensions in place of Pension Boards. Mr. Croll states that the new system will save the provincial government $35,000 and municipalities about $80,000 annually. At present the average cost of putting an application through the local board is from $8 to $10, the minister said, adding “This is utterly prohibitive LU un, but: uuumun oaxu, auuljxé .Luw Some new method had to be devised.” A wave of protest is crossing Canada at the decision of the Ottawa Government to print the Federal voters’ lists in Ottawa. This means the purchase and installing of ex- ive plant and machinery, in addition to that already installed in the Printing Bureau. This decision is the more reprehensible because there are, without any doubt, print- ers and pressmen out of work in every city and town be- tWeen Halifax and Victoria. These men, and their em- ployers, are surely entitled to the same consideration in these days of scarcity of work and lean pay envelopes, as the Ottawa men. Up to the present, the Federal lists have been printed in offices in the different constituencies, but for some reason this badly needed work is to be done in Ottawa for the forthcoming election. Economy cannot be claimed as the reason for the change, as thenew and expensive equipment required by the Bureau will likely more than eat up the difference in c‘ost, though the price for such work is set by the Federal officials, so the matter is entirely in their own hands. You know how easy it is to run a weekly newspaper. Every few days We hear of someone whose knowledge of a printing office is generally limited to having watched the machinery operate a time or two, who could take over the job and achieve a better result than we do. Well, some- times we think that ourselves, although it never seems to be at the time when someone is telling us how easy the task is. There is one way, however, in which everyone who is at all interested in the local paperâ€"whether their interests are friendly or otherwiseâ€"could be of the greatest help to the one who is trying to find local news to report. And that way is to tell us bits of information, which in their opinion is worth being printed. We would greatly apprec- iate it and so would our subscribers. We see many references to the conditions which were prevalent in Europe when the World War bgan, twenty years ago. Some feel that in them they see parallels to the general‘situation toâ€"day, and ask, Just how secure are we? For we realize that we live in a complex society drawn closer together by modern means 01 communication. We are not untouched by the sorrows and sufferings around us,.either as nations or as individuals. And from this fact We learn that the well-being of one person enhances that of the community and that when a nation is' prosperous and contented, other nations are hereby blessed. So the peace 0 fthe world concerns us all. As strife between individuals ceases, will not wars cease for do not both result from the same sources, such as re- sentment, envy and fear? As these thoughts are displaced by love, even as light displaces darkness, will not peace be assured? ‘ Peace is not merely war’s opposite, nor is it an inter- lude betWeen wars. Pea'ce does not result from a negative conditionâ€"from nothing; it is a positive state of mind, wherein evil has no place. As the Bible says, it is not at- tained by crying, “Peace, peace; when there is no peace.” Just as we cannot be loving without entertaining loving thoughts, so a nation cannot be peaceful without active, constructive, peaceful thinking. There can be no peace without victory over wrong thinkingâ€"Christian Science Monitor. Advertise in “ The Liberal ” Covéring _Canada's Best Suburban District. Advertising Rates on Application. TELZ‘.

The visit to Queen’s Park the other day of William Amyot, K.C., Regisâ€"% trar of the Quebec Securities Fraud Prevention Act, was significant in the light of the clean~up efforts of the! Ontario body. Mr. Amyot and Mr. Godfrey conferred for several houm Activities of stock promoters who attempt to jump into the millionaire class by pushing fake and near- worthless stock into the eager lap of the investing public are being cur- tailed to-day more rigidly than ever before in the history of the province. Particularly in the field of mining stock is this true. While the secur- ities department at Queen’s Park is not broadcasting to the World what it is doingâ€"for obvious reasonsâ€"it is known that a. drive against the sharks of the stock business is being conducted quietly but energetically. Commissioner J. M. Godfrey, K.Ci, Whose responsibility it is, to protect the dollars of the investors, has al- ready prosecuted an active campaign against the tipster sheets that extol in glowing terms the prospects of this and that min‘ng property away up in Northern Ontario and help in sucking the public dry. One of the latest moves in this campaign is. the enact- ment of legislation making brokers responsible for the literature issued and compelling them to submit copies of it to the Securities Commission. Hepburn Government Makes Drive On Fake Promoters What the legislation covering this phase of business enterprise has, lack- ed in the past has been “teeth.” Clever salesmen from across the border made Ontario and other prov- inces a happy hunting ground for the unloading of impressiveâ€"looking but worthless stock certificates. Many a rural dweller has a. bunch of pretty engraved papers in the bottom of an attic trunk as a reminder of the time when he or she parted with hard cash in the prospect of making- a clean-up. Those days are over, Mr. Godfrey hopes. The necessary “teeth” have been put into the Securities Act and stern punishment will be meted out to those who transgress its regula- tions. ‘ The half dozen. inquiries. that Com- missioner Godfrey has conducted into mining companies during the past few months have disclosed little that was not already known to those on the “st1-eet",’ But these investiga- tions had the effect of making the mining industry sit up and take notice. It served, as a. warning that the Securities Commissioner had and would use the extensive powers grant- ed him under the am. FRATERNITY is a mystical word. It is as hard to describe as faith, as difficult to put your finger on as a radio Wave. Fraternity is that something which makes a man, though he be lost in a desert or a jungle, ache in his heart for the sound of a human voice, the sight of a human face, and the clasp of a human hand. If you will pardon the personal reference I will tell you how I first felt its full meaning. I learned the meaning of fraternity as a lad of fourteen years, from a business man. When a preacher’s large family of thirteen children and a small salary of seven hundred dollars a year insist on keepâ€" ing company, and all would like a high school education, something out of theordinary has to be done. It is that something which brings men from the four corners of the earth to the same shores to build a new nation or to one valley making a community. It is basic in that elemental and mystic power which, out of the multi- tudes of earth, brings two souls together in the harmony of home. W n t 3g Leaving my childhood home in the foothills of the Catskills in 1908 I went to the city of Kingston, N. Y. There I sold papers, ran errands, scrubbed floors, washed windows and sold various things in an effort to pay my way through school. Turning about I went into the church and slipped into a rear seat. At the close of the service, a business man, seeing trouble written on the face of a boy, came up to me, inquired my name, where I lived and what I was trying to do. In the days that followed, without giving me so much as a nickel in cash, by his brotherly interest and indirect tactfulness in seeing that work was turned my way, he demonstrated to me the power of fraternity as he helped me to ’help myself. One Sunday night, after several weeks of bad business, with cardboard in my shoes to keep my feet out of the slush, I went by the St. James Methodist Church and heard floating out on the wintry air the reassuring words of the beautiful song, “Be Not Dismayed Whate’er betide, God Will Take Care of You.” By the power of fraternity he not only made life pleas- urable for me by the contact of his fine spirit but he also drew out and helped develop latent capacities and pOWers which might otherwise have lain forever dormant. The confidence and enthusiasm and initiative which he thus aroused have packed life with durable satisfactions and helped make it reasonably successful. Fraternity can be made one of the greatest powers for good in the world. The fraternal spirit as fostered by church and school by ledge and service club by paper and periodical has made America great. This spirit infiltrated between classes has for the most part held our people steady during one of the most trying periods in the history of man’s climb from barbarism and brutality to civilization and service. THE LIBERAL. RICHMOND HILL. ONTARIO WHAT IN FRATERNITY? By John Edwin Price on the question of uniformity of the1 acts in the sister provinces. It is reported that it is hoped to prevent sharp practices in either province by this method of uniformity. Queen’s Park Quiet There has been little in the way of ‘ news announcements from Queen’s: Park this week. Absence of several1 ministers and the inevitable let-down after the Christmas holidays have contributed to the lack of news. Premier Hepburn is expected back at his ciesk on January r7th from his holiday and things are expected to liven up. Hon. David Croll, Minister of Welfare, has been in Windsor hav- ing some teeth put into shape. The . Minister was slightly run down when he left for his Windsm- home a day or so before Christmas and it is be- r licved trouble with his teeth was the cause. A pipe ’F’cheaper, too. People can watch you light a pipe without say- ing, “Gimme one.” A physician says everybody can take a hot bath daily. Brother, were you ever a boarder?
