Morgan Baker, North York’s member in the Ontario Legislature deserves the gratitude of the ratepayers of this county for his successful fight in the Legislature against the York County Council salary grab. The bill introduced in the legislature to legalize the salary grab passed in committee but was defeated by an overwhelming majority in the House largely as a result of the efforts of the North York member. Following Mr. Baker’s attack on the bill the majority of the legislature members recog- nized the bill in its true light as a salary grab and promptly threw it out. York County Council did itself no credit in passing the salary grab by-law, which provided handsome remun- eration for its members and a grand plum of $2300 per year for the warden. Thanks to Morgan Baker and his fellow members of the Legislature the grab is now in the discard where it belongs. We hope members of the County Council take the hint and never attempt to revive it. At the last session Deputy-Reeve Joe Vale of New- market introduced a resolution asking for the re-organiza- tion of the County Council and the elimination of all dep- utyâ€"reeves. This was a sound and logical first move to- wards reducing County Council administration costs and Mr. Vale, himself a deputy-reeve, deserves much credit for introducing such a resolution. However the resolution was snowed under and gained but little support from members of the County Council. We hope Mr. Vale will introduce this resolution again at the June session and that rate- payers in every municipality in the County will make sure they find out how their representatives vote on the ques- tion. MORGAN BAKER SUCCESSFULLY FOUGHT COUN COUNCIL SALARY GRAB ' The rejection'by the Ontario Legislature of the York County Council Salary Grab legislation once more draws attention to the necessity of County Council Reform. “Ten men from Forest Hill standing on their heads could do more efficient business than forty-nine members of County Council” is the valuation placed on County Council by one of its own 1937 members, and we believe in making that statement the Forest Hill Reeve expressed the sentiments of a great majority of the ratepayers of the County. In the face of this indictment by one of their own members the County body passed at the January session a by-law providing handsome yearly indemnities for the members with juicy extras for committee chairmen, committee sec- retaries and an extremely juicy one for the, Warden and Commissioners. Fortunately the Legislature did not pass the legislation asked for by the County but credit for that belongs to the members of the Legislature and not to the County Council. If the members of County Council instead of increasâ€" ing‘ their own salaries had passed a by-law reducing the number of members or limiting their sessions they would have been acting in a manner more in keeping with pub- lic opinion. 7 , , M _ a ._ We believe that as a first step in the reduction in the cost of government County Councils should be aboliShed. They are an expensive and unnecessary fifth spoke in our wheel of government which easily could be dispensed with, but as a start the suggestion of Deputyâ€"Reeve Vale to elim- inate deputy-reeves is an excellent one. If the County Council members act on the Vale resolution and forget about the salary grab they will show that they are making at least some effort to represent the wishes of the people who elected them. Plans for holding a fitting celebration on Coronation Day, Wednesday, May 12th, are well advanced in many municipalities throughout Ontario. In this regard Rich- mond Hill is not lagging, and has an active committee headed by Reeve J. A. Greene and with Mr. James Butler as secretary already busy planning a splendid program for the day. Practically all local organizations are co-opâ€" crating and present indications are that the program in Richmond Hill will be one of the best in the County. We hope that citizens of the district will continue to lend their support and co-operation to the committee in charge of this important undertaking. “If you don’t care for the things you can’t obtain you will be fairly happy.” On the surface it is not an inspir- ing message. Not to care for the things we can’t obtain is to resign, give up, be supine, when we quit in life’s struggle we pay a dear price, indeed, for our meagre mite of happiness. Most of us, perhaps, would rather keep on fighting. There is joy in the fight; joy at least to know there is fight in us. Let us reverse the formula. “If you care enough for the things you have obtained, you will be supremely happy.” The farmer, on his farmâ€"if he loves that farmâ€"may be happy beyond compare. If he loves it well, he will till it well, intelligently, thoroughly, and it will yield him rich store. The widowed mother, in the little cottage, has her children, and if she loves them well they will be her life. Thetclerk at the desk, if he loves his work, will be happy 1n 1 . To be truly happy in our lot we need not be contented. Indeed happiness and contentment, while we keep moving on life’s highway are not to be reconciled. If we love the work we do we shall be thrilled not alone to do it well. but to do it better. Far away fields are always green. Only after many fijuitless pilgrimages is the simple truth borne home that if the field at our door is not attractive and verdant it is because we do not water its shrubs and grasses. If we love our field we will tend it. And, more important, if we tend it we will come to love it. He in whom ambition burns should remember that only the degree to which he proves himself true to the modest task of to-day can fit him, or inspire others to in- terest him, with greater duties tomorrow.
