While children now in school cannot remember the horror of the years of the War, nor comprehend the strain and anxiety endured by their elders throughout the long days of the actual strife, even they can realize some of its results When they see on the streets so many crippled veterans and know only too well, so many of them, the economic distress which still persists as a result. They themselves are sufferers. Fathers are out of work: thou- sands of families are on relief, the comforts that should be theirs are lacking, and opportunities for employment when they leave school are greatly reduced. It should be apparent to all thinking people that another such conflict would bringT about even a more intolerable condition of affairs than before, destroy our present social order, and overturn from its verv foundations the whole structure of our modern civilization. In drawing the attention of the school teachers of Ontario to the observance of the day Hon. L. J. Simpson, Ontario’s Minister of Education rightly pointed out that although a period of only eighteen years has elapsed since the close of the Great War, nations are again re-arming with feverish activity, war-clouds hang threateningly over many parts of the world, and the outbreak of another great conflict seems possible at almost any momentâ€"this in spite of the fact that the last War left to all the nations a legacy of unparalleled distress, misery, and horror. Men with broken and mutilated bodies are still in hospitals where they have lain and suffered for eighteen long years. Lives were ruined, trade demoralized, and consequent econ- omic distress has lain heavily on all the countries of the whole world. ‘ ' "‘ 1*“ arm“ £3 -,, r- a HELPING AGRICULTURE The place Ontario occupies in Canada’s agricultural rating" is No. 1 position and there is every reason to be- lieve that it will remain the leading- agricultural province of the Dominion for many years to come. The Ontario government, keeping in mind the necessity of encouraging the industry in all its many important nhases, has mapped out progressive steps to be taken in the interests of this Vital business. More than 39‘ per cent of Ontario’s population live on the 192.000 farms. according to a recent report compiled by the Department of Agriculture. In 1935, Ontario agri- cultural products were valued at over $300,000,000. And what is even more important than the total value of farm products is the fact that farm prices have risen substanâ€" tially since 1932 and are now well above depression levels. The prices of manufactured goods have advanced only slightly, with the result that in recent months, prices of agricultural products have been about as high in relation to prices of manufactured goods as they were before the war. ’ GOODWILL DAY ‘~ .- Monday, May 18th was observed or at least recog- nized throughout many countries of the world as Good- will Day. It was chosen as Goodwill Day because May 18th, 1936 is the thirtyâ€"seventh anniversary of the opening of the conference at The Hague in 1899, where for the first time in history the nations met together to consider means by which international disputes could be settled without recourse to war. The movement for the observance of Goodwill Day was sponsored by the Junior Branches of the League of Nations Society for Canada. The diversified nature of Ontario agriculture is the secret of its success. The fermer in Ontario does not keen all his eggs in one basket. Over 13.000.000 acres of land are used for the productiomof field crons which have a market value of more than -8140.000.000 annually. But Ontario farmers have a lot of other interests. They go in for beef cattle, hogs, cheese, butter. fruit, honey, to- bacco. poultry and other products. Of the beef cattle exported to the United States in 1935. Ontario farmers supplied nearly 30 per cent. And this'year the nercent- age may be much higher. The manufacture of cheese is another important industry. Seventy-four per cent of the cheese produced in Canada last year come from Ontario factories. The stage is all set for the 87th annual show. All that is needed now to make it a success is fine weather and the generous support and patronage of the people of the district. Attend the Fair this yearâ€"you will not be disappointed. Richmond Hill Fair is an institution in which every citizen of this district may take just pride. Invite your friends to attend the Fair this year and you need make no apologies. They will enjoy the fine program which has been prepared and you will be doing your bit to help along an organization which merits your support. These are but a few of the facts concerninq the aeri- cultural industry in the province. It is an industry that has suffered many cruel blows and suffered them in ":i‘.‘ ence. However. there is every reason to believe that far- mers are about to enjoy a well-earned rest from worry and financial difficulty. Much remains to be done before agriculture is back to ore-war level, but with rising prices and a sympathetic administration both in Queen’s Park and at Ottawa. there is every reason to believe in reasonable prosperity for the farmers. To-day the Fair stands in the front ranks of the pro- vincial exhibitions with a horse show which attracts the finest in the land. This year again the directors have branched out and have added to the other attractions 3 Dog Show which promises to prove very popular and at- tract many new visitors to the Fair. In recent years small town fairs have been having a rather tough time. Many have passed out of existence and many are still struggling along under heavy debt bur- dens. Not so Richmond Hill Fair. This Fair has grown and prospered in recent years because the officers and di- rectors have sought to keep abreast of the times and have been always alert in bringing forward new attractions and new' features which appeal to the people. MONDAY IS FAIR DAY Next Monday the gates will open on Richmond Hill’s 87th annual Fair. The Fair is more than an annual event v: it is an institution in the community and just as people look for spring to follow winter with the coming of the 24th of May people throughout this district just natur- ally think of Richmond Hill Fair.

U. meeting was very well attended on Sunday evening last. The feature of the evening was a visit of friends from the Heise Hill ‘Church Young People‘s Society. A‘- ter the opening the program was in charge of the visitors with Mr. Orla Heise presiding and who also gave the Invocation. The subject for the evening “The Indestructible Word of God” was given two parts, the first part by Mr. Allen Heise on the 9b- jections and attacks on the Bible. and the second part by Mr. Clifford Winger on the arguments and proofs of the Indestructibility of the Word. This address was very timely and in-, structive as well as convincing and following closely on a former ad- dress on “How we got our Bible” was a pleasing part of the address. The singing of the quartette, Mrs. and Miss Heise and Orla and Allen was also appreciated and the mess- age in song struck a Responsivu Chord in the hearts of the audience. A request number “The Old Rugged Cross” was also appreciated. This was one of the best programs in the work of the Young People’s Union and best wishes are extended to 11m speakers and quartette in their work. Mr. Ed.

A farmer himself, and knowinq the problems that the rural inhabitants have to face and conouer. he is fashioning the framework for a policy that will yield the maximum results in the years to come. One of the chief objectives of the Ontario Depart- ment of Agricultureâ€"and one that is close to the heart of Hon. Duncan Marshall, the Ministerâ€"is the develop- ment of a flourishing export trade for Ontario’s surplus products. In conjunction with the Dominion Government, plans have been made to standardize many phases of the export trade and to ensure only the highest quality of product going abroad. It has always been the policy of governments to place the administration of the Depart- ment of Agriculture in the hands of a practical farmer. The Henry government had Hon. T. L.
