PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY AT RICHMOND HILL THE LIBERAL PRINTING CO, LTD. Member Canadian Weekly Newspaper Association Subscription $1.50 per year â€" To the United States $2.00 Covering Canada’s Best Suburban District THURSDAY, FEBRUARY .4th, 1987. HOUSING PLAN Some much needed relief from the long, drawnâ€"out wrangling over Hydro affairs was afforded the Legislature the other day when Hon. David Croll, Minister of Welfare. revealed that the Ontario Government has completed ar- rangements for a comprehensive housing scheme in the supervised municipalities of the province. For a start there will be 560 houses erected in these municipalities, the materials and labor being supplied by the municipalities and the province paying towards the labor costs. But the scheme is not for supervised muni- cipalities alone; it is open to every municipality in the province, and it is the government’s hope that all will take advantage of the opportunity to build lowâ€"cost homes for working people of moderate means. When Mr. Croll explained the purpose of his government to an attentive Legislature, there was no criticism forth- coming. In fact, Wilfrid Heighington, the Conservative member for St. David’s, congratulated the Minister on the foresight and courage of the administration in embarking on such a plan. In Sweden and Denmark and other parts of Europe practical housing schemes have been in effect for conâ€" siderable time. But on this continent the idea has not taken hold except in a patchwork way. The benefits are numerous. First of all, it will provide work for unem- ployed artisans and laborers, it will stimulate the lmilding industry and it will provide decent, sanitary homes for people who need them. Another great advantage is that it will provide wages. not a mere dole, for thousands now on relief. The beneficial effect on the morale of the job- less will be tremendous. The government has experimented with a number of houses in York County to get an idea of test and suitabil- ity of the types of houses constructed. Satisfied that prac- tical homes can be built for reasonable sums and assured of public interest in the idea, the Minister of Welfare. proponent of the scheme from the start, has convinced his cabinet colleagues of the wisdom of the plan. and now it is about to be consummated on a large scale. Of course, 560 homes is only a start. Year by Year it will be extended until every municipality where there is a housing need will have new homes for its people. And there is this added feature: shacks will be demolished. No municipality will be allowed to retain slum homes. For every new house built, it is the aim of the government to destroy one disease-ridden shack. ‘ No finer monument to a government’s term of office can be found than thousands of decent homes spread throughout the province. The usual manner of spending relief monies yields nothing of a concrete nature. It is spent and nothing remains to show for it, that is, in some tangible form. ' But the erection of low-priced homes, fitted with mod- ern conveniences. is truly a noble work, and is something that is outside the realm of politics itself. There is not likely to be criticism from the Conservatives in the Legis- lature. What is there to criticise? 3 * I * * * * * Â¥ A TEACHER’S PRAYER Parents in Prince Edward realized anew during the mid-year school vacation that a large part of the responsi- bility of rearing the children is borne by the public school teachers. Those who are not members of some parent-teacher organization do not always appreciate the high ideals most teachers have in regard to their calling. To the conscien- tious teacher her work is more than a job, more than a means of earning a livelihood. Consider the,following from the very soul of a high-born, high-minded Southern girl, who realizes her great responsibility to her God and to her pupils. We quote from “South Carolina Education”: “If you have a few moments alone offer a prayer for me. “First, a prayer for loveâ€"that my heart may be filled With love to guide these little hearts and minds aright; to give them a start and a gentle, loving beginning on that long road of learningâ€"so that they will see and know the beautiful things around them; ,to hold the little hands firmly so the little feet won’t Slipâ€"so they will know where there is someone near to help them over all the rough places. “And, oh, a prayer for patienceâ€"With the love to lead carefully and help those who are slow; and ask Him to give me a happy heartâ€"they need it and I need it to know just when to laugh to teach them to see the funny things, to help them have all the fun they can. “Pray that I may have a right judgment â€"â€" a fair and square judgment in all things for little things mean so much to little people. Help me to understand their little troubles. “And finally, pray that I may be worthy of their won- derful love and that I may repay them tenfold. In other words ask Him to give me love, patience, courage and strengthâ€"a big heart, a right judgment, a helping handâ€"â€" and I should not forget a soft and gentle voice. These are some of the things I need to pray for. “I am so willing to do and I will do my best, but I ,can’t do it alone some days. There should be a special guardian angel to watch over and help teachers. Children are such queer little things, they should have the best wo- men who live to guide them. If I could only know how to teach themâ€"what’s good and best and true. If I could only help them on to better things. Well, I will do my very best, by the help of God.” SCOOSO$O$ NOTHING TO FOOL WITH There is a great deal that the doctors do not know about influenza, but they do know pretty well what to do about it. In all varieties of it, it may be laid down as a general principal that you had better coddle yourself a bit about it, before you get it and after; and that, if you get it, you had better on no account try to “tough it out.” This is oldâ€"fashioned treatment, but the best doctors seem to agree that it is the best. It means going to bed and staying warm for a day or two; and it means put in the converse, not going out to expose yourself to further chills and infections, and the risk of pneumonia. It means also not going where you can contribute your own collection of germs to the general infection. Influ- enza. even of the mild sort, is a bad thing to fool with.â€" Yancmiver Province.
