ONTARIO THURSDAY, AUGUST 27th, 1936 “In Essentials, Unity; In Non-essentials, Liberty; In All Things. Charity" Dealing with the amendment to the Assessment Act which has been loudly condemned by the opposition the Premier pointed out that it was definitely not a religious guestion but an economic question. Tracing from the commencement the Premier said that the Protestants in Quebec and the Roman Catholics in Ontario had the privilege of separate schools, and that no government had the right to take that privilege away from them. Seventy years ago Que- bec made provision for a division of corporation taxes for schools. In On- tario the problem had been allowed As Provincial Treasurer Mr. Hep- burn ‘told of the millions which have been collected in succession duties on estates which had been closed under the former government. We are only collecting the money of which the people of this province was defrauded», he said. A crowd estimated at over 10,000 attended the annual Mulock Picnic held at Woodbridge Fair grounds last Saturday. Bill Mulock. North York’s popular Member of the D0- minion Parliament again proved himself an ideal host and the thou- sands in attendance from the oldest to the youngest had a most e;jo_v- able day. There were many attrac- tions including men’s and ladies’ softball tournaments, horseâ€"shoe pitching, wfrestling', football. races for the kiddies, and a monster mid- way as big as any country fair. Free ice cream and lollypops as well as scores of interesting prizes delight- ed the younger folk who joined with their elders in voting “Bill” Mulock the prince of good fellows. The speaker of the day was Hon. Mitchell F. Hepburn, Ontario’s Pre- mier, who for over an hour held the vast audience in close attention as he gavean interesting and thorough review of provincial affairs. J. H. Naughton-, President of the North York Liberal Association acted as chairman and following a short ad- dress by Morgan Baker, Mr. W. P. Mulock welcomed the great throng to the picnic and introduced the Premier. In his welcome Mr. Mu- lock said, “I hope everyone of you will derive as‘ much pleasure from this picnic as has been given me in preparing for it and in having you here." In introducing the Premier, Mr. Mulock referred to him as “On- tario’s courageous premier who has fought special interests for the wel- fare of the peOple of this provâ€" ince.” Premier Hepburn was given a rousing ovation as he rose to speak and in an address which lasted well over an hour he reviewed the re- cord of the government during the two years he has been in office. He told of the position of the finances in the province when he took over the government. The debts and de- ficits of the Henry administration had to be faced, and incidentally he pointed' out that when Mr. Rowe is speaking of debt increases under the present administration he must be getting the present government mix- ed with the late Henry administra- tion. He said that under present policies Ontario was steadily pro- gressing towards a balanced budget. He scored the financing under the former government when bond issues were payable in three exchanges. Since the advent of the Hepburn ad- ministration every bond issue is re- payable in only Canadian funds. The people of Ontario will pay dearly for the next thirty years as a re- sult of the financial policies of the former government. Record Crowd Aitenfis Picnic At Woodbridge as Guesis of W. P. Mulock Dealing with Hydro the Premier said that as a result of the policies introduced by the present adminis- tration this great public utility was now on a paying basis and that in the near future the commission would be able to announce a sub- stantial reduction in rates. This would‘ not have been possible had we continued the contracts made with the Quebec Power barons by the former government. For in- stance, he said, last month we paid to the Power companies $190,000, whereas if we had not cancelled those contracts we would have had to pay $815,000.00. Mr. Rowe is critical of our action so I presume if he is elected to office he would restore those contracts. Premier Hepburn Forecasts a Balanced Budget For Ontario â€"â€" Reduction In Hydro Rates Coming as Result of Cancellation of Contracts With Power Barons â€" Millions Collected in Past-Due Succession Duties The prize for the oldest person on the grounds was awarded to Mrs. Sarah Ann Woolven of RE. No. 2 'Newmarket who celebrated her 89th birthday on Saturday by attending the Mulock picnic. The radio given to the holder of the lucky number "program was won by Miss Jean 'Troyer of Woodbridge. Prize winners in the races were: [Girls, 6 and underâ€"1, Marion Elliott; , 2, Shirley Sherrit; 3, Isobel Good- ville.

The policy of the former gov- ernment was to increase the grants to separate schools while at the same time grants to public schools were reduced. This was the under-the- itable method. We chose the open- and-aboveâ€"board method and did what was fair and just. The pre- sent act is more fair than the pol- icy of the previous administration. Tax-payers in municipalities where there are no separate schools or no corporations are not now concerned in the issue. Under the policy of the former government taxes paid into the provincial treasury were used to make Special grants to sep- arate schools, which meant that money paid‘ by people in municipalâ€" ities where there were no separate schools, and which they thought were paid for roads and other pub- lic services were diverted to separ- ate s‘chools; Under the former sys-' tem the people of rural Ontario were the goat, because the corpor- ation school tax issue is one which really belongs to the cities. By our legislation we have made it a city problem and we did what was equitâ€" able .and just. And now he said Mr. Rowe is trying to make a religious issue for the next provincial elec- ltion. I predict the Tories will never repeal the Act for two reasons. One reason is that they will not be elect- ed, and the other is that they would- n’t repeal‘ it if they were elected. They are only trying to draw a red herring across the trail he said. The same as they did when they defeat- ed Reciprocity in 1911.» They didn’t fight Reciprocity as an economic is- sue. They shouted “No truck or trade with the Yankees,” they held ‘up the bogey of annexation, and stirred up racial bitterness and those who took part in that kind of cam- paign should hold thein heads in shame for what it has cost Canada. ‘Sir Wilfrid Laurier went to his grave ‘knowing that he was right in the lreciprocity campaign and some twenty years later no less a person than R. B. Bennett admitted it. Reaction of the crowd left no ‘doubt as to popularity of trade with the USA. ‘ "‘In 1935 when Premier King at- tained power, we got a small agree- ment with the United States. What is the result? We farmers see it. We see our cattle, our hogs, our- ‘cheese gaing‘ across the border just as they should be going. I am hepeâ€" fill that if Roosevelt is re-elected, agreements with his country will be enlarged." The Candy Guessing contest for 'which a beautiful Shetland pany was ‘the first prize created great inter- est .amongst the youngsters. Joe 'MaIloney of Downsview was the for- tunate winner of the pony and Art Dalziel of Woodbmidge was awarded “the second prize. Richmond Hill Men’s Softball team won the first prize after some hard fought games and Fisherville was the runner-up. In the ladies’ tourna- ment Maple were the winners and Fisherville the runner-up. A good program of wrestling held the interest of a large section of the CI‘OWdI in the evening and at night a street dance was enjo ed with music supplied by Ernie Bruce’s hand.

Restricted Area test by which all cattle in York County will be submitted to the T. B. test, is now being proceeded with and Inspectors of the Dominion Health of Animals Branch, assisted by local Veterinar- ians, are working in every township. While there is a number of some herds with a high percentage of re- actors, flhe average so far has not been surprisingly high, running about 20%. This does not include the Ac- credited herds which were previous- ly under test; and will continue as accredited herds. If the average were of 'all the cattle in a district rather than those being tested at the present time thle figure would be somewhat lower. mamn Richmond Hill’s throng of school children, as well as students who propose to attend Richmond Him High School will perhaps not wel- come the news that all schools open for the Fall Term on Tuesday, Sep- tember lst. The school Population looks rather mournfully at the cal- endar and sighs at the thought of the holidays near spent and the long school year ahead. The calendar didn’t give the kiddies any break this year and the school bell will ring on September lst, the earliest possible ’date for school opening. Septem- her 1st is the statutory date for the opening of all Ontario pub- lic and high schools and the only exception is when September lat falls on a Friday, in which case the schools would open on the day foll- owing Labor Day. Schools Open September lst, There will be two new teachers on the Public School staff, and one new face amongst the teachers at the Wright Street institution of learning. Mr. Martin Caldwell of Wallaceburg will take the place of Miss Richardson who resigned owing to ill health after several years on the staff, and the other new mem- ber of the staff will be Miss Shiela Beresford. We understand that MiSS Beresford will have charge of the primary room and that Miss Jean Middleton who last year had the primary room will take the room forâ€" merly presided over by Mr. Don. Frisby. DECORATION DAY SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 6TH The annual Decoration Day serâ€" vices will be held at Richmond Hill Presbyterian Cemetery Sunday, Sepâ€" tember 6th at 3 p.m. Suitable sen vices are being arranged. All inâ€" terested are asked to co-operate in making the services a success.
