We know the taxpayers of York County are in symâ€" pathy with the work of the Children’s Aid Society but we would like to be satisfied that there are at present no! ex- pensive administration frills which might be eliminated at this time. Those who spend public money during these very difficult days should be ever mindful of the taxpayers’ ability to pay. The following from the Saltcoats (Sask) Observer is indicative of the growing spirit to recognize true worth regardless of party names. “The distinction of being the‘ seventh Mayor of the Town of Saltcoats about to serve his seventh term of office, falls to His Worship, Mayor Fea,_ who was again elected by acclamation on Menday. Mayor Fea had decided against standing for the mayoralty this year but altered his plans when he was petitioned by a long list of citizens to allow his name to come forward.” Taxpayers of York County who struggle from January to December in an effort to carry on a farm or a business and meet their obligations and taxation are not in sym- pathy to-day with needless “frills” in administration. Farmers and business men with thousands of dollars inâ€" vested who during the past five years could not make decent wages, not to mention any return on their invest- ment, do not take kindly in these times to needless ex- penditure for elaborate office accommodation when sav- ings might be accomplished by using quarters already available. We feel certain that taxpayers of York County are not in favor of needlessly high salaries and allowances. However Quebec takes no back seat for Saskatchewan when it comes to a demonstration of the better spirit among men. As is indicated by the following from the Lachute Watchman: “Signal tribute to Hon. Anthanse David, Provincial Secty., for his work on‘ behalf of the pro- gress and development of Terrebonne County and Laurenâ€" tian areas on Quebec’s legislative front, was paid by the mayors of all towns and villages in the county of Terre- bonneâ€"Conservative as Well as Liberal. All of them signed the Hon. Athanase David’s nomination papers. This is believed to be the first time in Quebe’s political history that a member of the Legislative Assembly has, on the eve of re-nomination as a candidate, won the support of each and every chief magistrate in a county, whatever their political hue may be.” The splendid work carried on by Children’s Aid So- cieties throughout the province commends itself to every public spirited citizen and there is perhaps no branch of public Welfare work which so touches the hearts and sym- pathies of our people as that which has to do with the care of little children. We all know that the work of the Chil- dren’s Aid Society has become more burdensome and more involved with the passing of the years and the severe economic depression of the past five years has added to the work of the organization. Down through the years many a young life has been richly blessed by the work of this organization and we have nothing but the highest of praise and tribute for those men and women who have unselfishly and without any remuneration devoted them- selves whole-heartedly to the work. The widespread com- ment on the increasing financial demands of the Society has not in any way been criticism of the work carried on by the Children’s Aid Society. We know of no ratepayer who wishes any neglected or dependent child to be dc.â€" prived of the necessary care and attention. On the other hand there is abroad an impression that administration costs of the Society have increased to an alarming degree and that recent inovations in the carrying on of the work have not been in keeping with the ability of the taxpayer to pay. Probably the most asinine advice to one addicted to worry is that haekmeyed phrase, “don’t worry,” for it simultaneously reveals in the adviser a smug presumption of authority to tender advice, and paradoxically, a void of understanding making for obvious inability to counsel sagely, a position most exasperating to the worrier. It is like assuring a man on the desert without water that all he needs to correct his condition is water. You can almost hear his high-pitched shout, as his bloodshot eyes burn above cracked, swollen lips, “How. in God’s name, will I get water.” The York County Children’s Aid Society which was the subject of a government investigation a short time ago has again taken the spotlight of public interest as a result of the demand of this organization for increased financial assistance from the County Council at the December ses- sion. The demands for the work of the Children’s Aid Society has steadily increased until {0-day the amount required to carry on the work has reached a very high figure. It is well that the matter has been brought forc- ibly to the attention of the citizens of the county because the magnitude of the financial requirements of this organ- ization warrants an active interest in the Society, its work and its administration, by every ratepayeri 7 Anyone who has wrestled with worry and conquered knows that worry is an outward manifestation of fearâ€" fear of someone or something which first must be exposed to that daylight in which no ominous ghosts have ventured since creation. It is a fact that no one ever has been placed in a situation so trying that he need be without enough confidence to conquer its terror. Which brings to mind the remark of the dear old lady on her deathbed to the effect that she had had a great deal of trouble in her life, mostiof which had never happened. In the light reason fear can be appreciated as a drama. On the stage drama causes playgoers to become tense, It is accomplished by putting players in conflict one against another, or one against the elements. The uncertainty of what is about to happen gives edge to the play. As enter- tainment drama has its place, but in the main it is better to keep drama in the background in every-day life.

PAGE TWO BROTHERHOOD SPIRIT GROWING THE CHILDREN’S AID SOCIETY THURSDAY, DECEMBER 5th, 1935 THE LIBERAL DON’T WORRY MAKING “GOOD SCOUTS” OF HAWKS An attempt to train three young hawks to be “good citizens," and leave farmers’ chickens alone, is the reported effort of three Boy Scouts of Gorham, Maine. During a sum- mer camp hike the boys came upon the young hawks; apparently aban- don-ed by their parents. In variance with their reputation, the birds made friendly pets. NEXT BIG SCOUT JAMBOREE ‘ IN HOLLAND ; The next World Boy Scout Jam-‘ boree, it has been announced officâ€"‘ ially, will be held in Holland, in the summer of 1937. The formal invi- tation was received at the Internat- ional Bureau, London, from His Ex- cellency, Admiral J. J. Rambonnet, Chief Scout for Holland, along with assurance of the support of the Dutch Governmen. To the announcement Imperial Scout Headquarters add an invitation to British Empire contin- gents to visit the Home Land on the way to or from the Netherlands. TO THE UNKNOWN SCOUT A memorial plaque to the unkmwn Boy Scout whose good turn in Eng- land to the late William D. Boyce, Chicago publisher, brought Scouting, to the United States, was dedicated on the state House lawn at Columbus, Ohio, as part of the let Birthday celebration of the Boy Scouts of Am- erica. The ceremony included an ad- dress by Governor Davey. The in- scription on the tablet reads: “Dedi- cated to the Unknown Boy Scout, 1910-1935, in England, Whose Good Turn Brought Scouting to Millions of American Boys. Sponsored by Cen- tral Union Area, Boy Scouts of Am- erica.” “In these times I do not think there is any other movement that has greater posibilities for good than the Boy Scout movement.”â€"Sir Francis Floud, British High Commissioner to Canada. LESS OF THE “1” AND MORE OF THE “WE” “A little less of the “I” and more of the “we” is what is needed. The Scout organization examples this for Canada. You can’t all be leaders. Be the best “you” that you can.”# Reeve Dicfl Carter, at Kirkland Lake Scout Fathers’ and Sons. Who Jc‘eaches a boy by the Master’s plan, Is shaping the course of the future man, Father or mother, teacher or priest, Friend or stranger, saint or beast, Is dealing with one who is a living seed, And may be the man the world shall need; For who can measure the pride and joy. That may grow one day from a little boy. When some folks lose a loved one they try by every mechanism to bring back the object of their affections. They ressurect old snap shots and visit mutually loved spots. Others get into life as the loved one would be doingâ€"and make sure of having a good report to make if ever they meet again. A cultured Irishman the other day remarked that he was getting along fairly well in this country, but was hav- ing some trouble in making his Celtic dreams come true. The naive manner in which he said this was comical, but his honest realization of the need of a practical working out of dreams gives him a great advantage over the “Leaderâ€" ship” young man. The latter hasn’t yet arrived at the point of this homely truth, and we fear, will go back to dust without knowing Why he didn’t win the plaudits of his fellow men for leadership. In world affairs to-day, as was always the case, there are outstanding examples of lead- ership. Under such leaders change is occurring but often change does not imply desirable advancement. And still conditions of the people of the world are getting better. How come? It is just that plain men and women all over the world are finding contentment in expressing them- selves helpfully, without show, and in most cases these would be amazed if it were suggested to them that their constructive actions merited praise. SCOUTING’S POSSIBILITIES FOR GOOD LEADERSHIP A few years ago a young man was overheard discuss- ing the topic of leadership excitedly, it being evident that he considered himself a leader. Somewhere in the world,‘ if he still lives and is able to talk, he will be overheard thunderineg discussing leadership, the While doing noth- ing about it. His attitude revealed much of the letter and none of the spirit of leadership. â€" THE FUTURE â€" â€"Ake1a, 48 Pack, Toronto THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO But every fleck has its black sheep, and the milk industry is afflicted with the same handicaps as any other line of endeavour. There are those en- gaged in a legitimate enterprise who seek to harvest an additional profit by every device known to them. And While these methods may not actually be across the line dividing the honest act from the criminal, they violate the ethics of any business and help retard progress and development. The Milk Control Board has few inspec- tors, but the officials have other means of discovering infringements of the act, and they are not slow to punish. The milk problem on the Ontario-l Quebec border, milk trucking, dupli-l cation of services, the cutting off of l producers from a market without just cause, and cases where unjust: amounts of milk paid for on a surplus basis, are some of the pressing mat- ters that confront the board and call, for utmost consideration. As far as - duplication of services is concerned, it is believed the board will tackleI this problem shortly and endeavourl to correct a number of uneconomic situations. Overlapping of services Dlaces a great toll on both the pro- ducers of milk and the consumers. At the beginning of 1935, the board set as its objectives, the following: A sufficient supply of high quality milk for the consumers in the urban centres of Ontario, a close co-opera: tion between producers and distrib- utors associations in all important markets, prompt payment of accounts due milk producers by distributors, a close check on the accuracy of records of milk distributors, a complete study of the costs of production and dis- tribution of milk. One of the difficulties confronting the Milk Control Board in its opera- tions is the failure of certain ele- ments in the milk industry to co- operate with the Board. Any under- taking- for the common good entails, as its first requisite, the full and loyal coâ€"operation of all parties af- fected. In the majority of instances, the Board has found a commendable readiness on the part of producers and distributors alike to support the efforts of the officials charged with the task of solving their problems. Not all of these objectives have been attained, but astonishing pro- gress has been made in those which have not yet been solved. Rome was not built in a day, and perfection is yet far off in the milk field, not that the board expects to achieve such a condition. But the problems that have been encountered and overcome and the problems that have been tackled and partially solved, repre- sent an effort without parallel in the work of government bodies. Then there are the problems that have not yet been touched but at some time must be faced. The production and marketing of fluid milk represents a huge investment in this Province. and the board must move with care lest by hasty action it jeopardise the industry. Milk Board Asks More Co-Operation But where there are abuses and obvious inequalities. the board will function to its fullest degree under the provisions of the act. Already it has disciplined and punished those who sought to evade the regulations. This swift action has a salutory ef- fect. Much, however, remains to be done. The board is moving slowly but steadily along a well-mapped out route. Some of its proposed efforts in 1936 will be outlined in next week’s article. People don’t go to school because they think they know everythingâ€" nor to church because they consider themselves saints.
