There are many who object to having to listen to ad- vertising over the radio on Sunday, but feel they can do nothing to stop it. But they can. Recently Mr. Russell T. Kelley, the well-known advertising man in Hamilton, ad- dressed the men’s club of St. Jude’s Anglican church in Mount Forest, and he stated that no goods advertised over the air on Sunday are allowed to enter his home. This is certainly a good way to discourage this form of advertising, if practised by many people. Abolition of local police commissions and the formation of a single body with jurisdiction over the entire County and with one police chief in control was the recommendation of Judge O’Connell, chairman of York County Police Com- mission to the York County Council this week. It is an excellent suggestion and 6ne which is long over-due. The policing of the County could best be directed by such a commission and such a police force, and the Commission when named should be given every power and authority. Police direction is one branch of the public service which should be divorced as clearly as possible from municipal politics. The fact that it has been reported some muni- cipal heads will oppose the proposed change would appear an excellent argument in its favor. York County Council should lose no time in acting on the suggestion of the Police Commission. There are conditions in the County which need the stern and efficient hand of such a com- mission to clean up. Last year a children’s playground was established in the park and a considerable amount of the cost was sub- scribed by private donations. A small balance still remains to be paid and to raise funds for this purpose a community. masquerade carnival will be held at the rink next Wednes- day evening. If the public response is sufficiently generous the suggestion already has been made that a second play- grounds be established on the west side of Yonge Street. The playgrounds in the park proved very popular last sum- mer and nbt only was it a source of joy to the youngsters but it contributed to the public safety in kecping children ofif the streets. The suggestion of a second paygrounds at the municipal building is an excellent one as the children west of Yonge Street could use it without crossing through the heavy traffic. If you favor the idea you can help it along by giving generous patronage to the carnival next Wednesday night. Leap year is with us again. and he who cherishes single blessedness is takinp: his solitary life in his hands for“ the full sweep of 1936. We have Leap Year owing to the fact that the astronomers of Julius Caesar is 46 30. set the solar year at 365 days, six hours. These extra hours, totalling a day every fourth year became February 29th. 'Ihis orphan day leaps into what ordinarily would be the first day of March and that is how the year comes by its name. The belief that leap year comes onCe in every four years is not wholly correct. As measured by the sun there are a few seconds each year which do not fit into man's accepted measure of time. To balance these unwanted seconds, the extra dav is tossed overboard every century year not divisible by 400. Leap year was skipped in 1900. It will be skipped again in 2100, but that should not be a cause for worry as you (San~ scarcely hope to be around then. THE BRITISH WAY The events which transpired following the death of His Majesty King George V furnish an illuminating picture of the calm way in which thelBritish people accept great changes. There was no great formality and mass of red tape to satisfy when King George passed away. The trans- ition, for such it might be called, was very simple. The Home Secretary, to whom this sad duty is delegated, was present at the deathbed and certified to the death of the King. Immediately, without ritual of any kind. the heir apparent, His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, became ruler. Thus, with no fuss at all, the change was accomplishâ€" ed and the government business was enabled to continue without an interruption; there was no interregnum. Of course, later on the new ruler will be formally in- stalled with all the pomp and ancient usage which is so dear to every Briton. Anglo-Saxons have an inherent love fer pageantry which will be fully gratified at the colourful coronation ceremoniesâ€"which will take place at some time after the period of mourning for the departed sovereign is over. As a matter of fact, the late Kii‘lg‘was crowned somewhat more than a year after he ascended the throne. Nearly half a year after that again he was proclaimed Em- peror and assumed the Crown of India at Delhi. - All these interesting ceremonies take place in due time; 1L _ __,__<,‘1 but, inveantime the government carries on wayâ€"just another instance of the British gel ting the job done efficiently and still presu- trimmings. Of course, later stalled with all the dear to every Briton for pageantry which There is hardly a day passes that we do not hear of someone who has had a narrow escape from injury while walking on Yonge Street south of Richmond Hill. In past years there have been many accidents and several fatal- ities. HOW many more must be injured before action is taken to provide the necessary sidewalks for pedestrains‘! How many more lives must be sacrificed before something is done? ‘Hundreds‘of men in this district are on relief and are'praying for an opportunity to perform useful employ- ment.

(Plenty More Coming) The present Ministry probably has a lot of that sort of thing to face. Every time it lowers the duty on any] commodities a few interests which expect to be injured will call atten- tion of the government to the work-: men who will inevitably be dischargâ€" ed as a result. When genuine dis- tress on a wide scale is likely to reâ€"_ suit, the government will be compelled) to move slowly and carefully. When the Liberal government reduced the tariff on automobiles in 1927 it, was represented that thousands of factory workers at Oshawa and Windsor would lose their jobs. Actually itl turned out that employment at bothl these centres grew remarkably. If a low-tariff government is too sus- ceptible to propaganda from the pro- tected interests, obviously it will be afraid to stir an inch. The artificial silk industry has about the highest protection, short of complete prohi- bition, of any industry in the country, and some observers think that if the recent episode was by way of demonâ€" stration or agitation, it was a blunder.‘ It is true that the rayon industry has‘ recently lost three bricks off its tariff wall: one when the surtax on Japanese goods was eliminated; an- other when the arbitrary valuation was cancelled: a third when the cur- rency dump duty on the depreciated yen was reduced. But after all these had gone, the protection afforded rayon fabrics is still 36% per cent ad valorem, plus 40 cents a pound, plus a dump duty of about 11 cents per yen plus 9 per cent on the duty- paid value. Thistadds up to about 150 per cent protection in typical cases; and the average commentator is inclined to say: ‘Well, if an industry has to shut up shop because of foreign competition in spite of a protection 1of 150 per cent, there is something ‘wrong somewhere and we had better lknow what.’ (Changing B.N.A. Act at Ottawa)! The provinces and the Dominion have been discussing methods whereâ€" by the constitution can be altered at Ottawa in future, instead of Westâ€" minstcr, as at present. At the same time the Supreme Court is hearing argument for and against the validity of the Bennett ‘New Deal’ legislation, the Farmers Creditors’ arrangement lact, and allied bills. I | Ottawa, Feb. 4th-â€"The Sherbrooke rayon i::cident gave Ottawa a. minor lthri‘ll; government supporters were jubilant when it turned out so well and wrote it down as a triumph. The whole affair is under investigation by Mr. Justice W. F. A. Turgeon of Sas- katchewan, so any final pronounceâ€" ment should await his report. But the government her-e evidently read the announcement that hundreds of men and womenâ€"one press report said a thousandâ€"were being thrown ‘out of work in the textile mills be- cause of new Japanese competition, as a challenge which must be met. Ob- viously a government which came inâ€" to power to help unemployment couldn’t sit idlv bvi and let thousands of persons be thrown out of work. If the unemployment really was caused by the Japanese treaty: then something- ough-t to be done about it. If not, then the facts ought to be known by all the people. So Hon. Charles Dunning, as head of the tariff department appointed the afore- said Justice Tui‘geon as a royal commissioner to probe the incident, and report. It is significant, read it as you like, that a day or so after- wards most of the discharged em- ployees went back to work, the: press? announcements issuing from that area. saying that Japanese competition was really not so'severe as it had been several weeks ago. Another report said the Workers had only been laid off for a week, anyway. The con~ clusion most Liberals drew was that someone had tried to bluff the gov- ernment, and that the government had promptly called the bluff. The session begins this week on a sombre note, because of the death of the late sovereign. It promises, how- ever, to uncover a number of lively issues. Unemployment, the railway question, the radio commission, elec- tion methods, balancing- the budget, lower tariffs, the United States trade agreement, the treaty with Japan, and the renewal of the Empire pacts are all coming up for discussion. Usually these first sessions are short and perfunctory: this may be a lively one, in spite of the small opposition.

By Wilfrid E ggleston THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO The Prince made a surprise tour of tenements in the Marylebnn-e district of London in 1933. He knocked at a door. The response was “Come in darling, and see my house.” The invitation was from a 70-year-old pensioner. The Prince laughed and stepped in. During a demonstration of the Na- tional Fire Brigades Association in Yeovil, Somerset, in 1934, the Prince climbed aboard :3. fire engine anti clanged the bell furiously through the streets with all the enjoyment and zest of a small boy. ‘ Touring unemployment centres in North Wales in 1934, the Prince was informed of the disappointment of a woman of 101 that he was not passing through her village. He d-etoured several miles to please her. In anâ€" other village, on that trip, he joined a group of jobless in a game of table tennis. '~ Violating a regulation in Biarritz in 1933, the Prince was called sharply to task by a traffic policeman. He enjoyed it, informing the officer. “It makes me feel normal to be treated like a human being.” On a vacation at Biarritz in 1934, the Prince was among those who res- cued a. 10-year-old boy frOm drowning A touch of royal small talk, over- heard on May 6, 1935, outside St. Paul’s during the jubilee ceremonies: Gazing in admiration at his bro- ther's gleamingly decorated uniform the Prince inquired of the Duke of York. “Where did you get that medal? That’s a new one I never saw before.” The Prince fingered an- other and added, with mock disdain. “Hm! I have one jus-t~1ike that." At a formal function in the Spanish Embassy in London in 1933 a Spanish dancer dropped her comb. The Prince gallantly picked it up and restored it. A few moments later the same dancer dropped two combs and a flower near the Prince. But the Pl‘ince now caught on to her little trick. The guests roared with laughter and the Prince refused to budge. Innumerable anecdotes are related by the subjects of the new head of the British Empire in token of the many tributes of character, ability and personal charm he brings to the throne.

The Prince was hatless. Quickly he seized his friend’s hat, tipped it in salutation and replaced it on his friend’s head, then continued the conversation. ‘ When he was seven years old and his portrait was being painted by Mrs Gertrude Massey, the young- Prince inquired of her. “Are there any Kings and Queens in Heaven, or when you are an angel is everybody equal?"
