AWAY BACK IN LIBERAL FILES FORTY YEARS AGO From our Issué of August 5th, 1897 The teachers and pupils of the Richmond Hill High» School are to be congratulated on the result of the Commercial Examinations. Of sixteen who wrote fifteen were suc- cessful. Among the improvements in town this week might be mentioned an addition to Mr. Skeele’s house on Church street, a new piece of lattice- ‘work at Mrs. Jenkins’, and a renova- tion of Mr. Coulter’s veranda. The council met on Tuesday, Au- gust 3rd. The reeve was in the chair. Councillors present: Messrs. Hill, Hopper, Innes and Wright. The minutes of 6th July were read and‘ confirmed. The following accounts were read: T. F. McMahon, printing Voters’ Lists and advertising $25.25; Alfred Clayson, repairs to fire en- gine 25¢; Chas. Morrison. work on 'tank $1.310. Moved by Mr. Hopper, seconded by Mr. Innes, that the trea- surer do pay, the said acc0unts. Car- ried. Council then adjourned. M. Teafy, Clerk. The School Board are hauling the brick and stone from the old school grounds down to the Hopkins lot. When this is completed they will be in a position to impr0ve the grounds in front of the Public School. If they would take the front fence away al- together and grade from the Side- walk westward it would greatly im- prove the appearance of the place. It is to be hoped the grounds will be put. into good shape before the r-e-opening of the school. AJbout sixty) people went down on the Curlers’ excursion to Scarboro Beach last evening and report an en- joyable time. Everybody seemed to enjoy the concert given by Raven’s Band and the side attractions were well patronized, including the Scenic Railway, The Cascades, the San Fran- cisco Earthquake, shooting the shoots, bumping the bumps, etc. The buildâ€" ings on the grounds are illuminated with thousands of electric lights and a very) beautiful scene is presented. The excursionists arrived home beâ€" tween twelve and‘ one o’clock. The excursion was well handled ‘by Reeve Pugsley and other officers of the club. The spur extending to the elevator and the coal sheds at the C.N.O. sta- tion has been completed and the pro- prietors, Messrs. Stiver and Ramer, hope to have the roof on the elevator this week. ' The first meeting of the Quarterly» Board of the Methodist Church, for the conference year was held on Mon- day, August 2nd. Present: Messrs. P. Patterson, W. A. Wright, S. M. Brown, J. Barker, J.

Some wheat has been threshei and is yielding fairly well but no excep- tional turn-outs have been reported. The price of wheat took a slump this week but. is still around the dollar. Although there has been no offi- cial announcement most observers are predicting a general election in On- tario this fall. A record crowd is expected to atâ€" tend- the annual Mulock picnic at Vloodbridge this year on Saturday, August let. A woman said her husband took up astronomy just so that he could get out at night. zen law At their recent convention, the Police Chiefs of Ontario very severe- ly criticized the parole system, by which criminals like “Red” Ryan are let loose to prey upon the public, before their sentences empire. Police .authorities in the United States also have had a very unsatisfactory ex- perience with parole. According to J. Edgar Hoover, Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, “much of the United States’ enorm- ous annual crime bill of approximate- ly fifteen billion dollars may be charged to the abuse of state parole systems.” If everything seems innocen; to the innocent, you know why every- thing seems rotten to some peopie. mg Ke lived in the early part of the last century and his baptismal name was Jonathan Chapman but he was known to a whole generatiopfiflhs “J‘ohnny App‘ieseed.” This was be- cause practically; the whole of his mature life was spent in planting apple seeds in the M'iddfie West which was then vingin territory. The seeds were obtained from Pennsyl- vania cider mills, loaded on a pack home, and planted wherever condi- tions seemed favora'ble. He lived chiefly on corn meal mush and ber- ries and camped wherever night found him. Even in the days of In- dian warfare the tomahawk spared Johnny. He believed it a sin to kill any of God’s creatures and the bears and wolves spared Johnny. He died as he had lived. Seeking shelter in a settler’s caibin when well into the seventies, he was found dead in the morning but his work lived after him. The only) apples ever eaten by many settlers in the early days of Ohio were produced on trees grown from seed planted by Johnny Appleâ€" It isn’t farmers, but government observers who say agriculture is set for a banner year. An experienced farmer never lets on. A critic says that there are loop- holes in the tax structure because those who draw laws are all thumbs. With none of them in the dike. The happiest people in the world today areâ€"or should beâ€"the Swedes. Sweden is almost an Utopia. While almost all other countries are strug- gling against deficits or trying to balance their budgets, the Swedish Minister of Finance has told Parlia- ment that he has so much money he does not know how to spend it. His budget just introduced promises gifts to nearly all classes of the commun- ity.â€"Warkworth Journal. It is reported from Washington that one of the results of Amelia Earhart’s fatal experience in an at- tempted flight across the Pacific will be that “stunt flying" may be bann- ed. “Disclosures of inadequate pre- parations and lack of co_ordinated facilities for the flight, coupled with the fact that its successful terminâ€" ation would have achieved no specific scientific result,” are said to have stimulated the probability; of such prohilbition. We’ve heard of the proverbial man who “would steal the coppers off a dead man’s eyes”. Pretty near in his class must be ranked the thief who robbed a hearse of its gas and oil when it was left standing on the road by a Rouyn undertaker. It’s hard to be a law-abiding citi- n when you can’t tell what the w is till the judge finishes talk- seed In the June number of Readers’ Digest extracts are given from the diary of an American flier who was idlled in the world war. The fliers, because they were frequently at a .great elevation and covered great distances, had exceptional opportunâ€" ities of seeing the ,destructive effects .of modern war. Speaking of this the diarist said: “The devastation is horrible. It looks from the air as if the gods had made a gigantic steam roller, 40 miles- wide, and run it from the coast to Switzerland.” Here, after some months of ser- vice are some significant observa- tions: “It gives me a dizzy feeling every time I hear of men who are gone. . . .I have lost over 100 friends. ...I keep watching the clock and figuring how long I have to live. . .. When I go out to get my plane my feet are like leadâ€"I am “oarer able to drag them after me. . .Here I am, 24, but I look like 40 and feel 90.” And here is a sentence that should be pondered by all, especially; by those who profess belief in The Man ‘who came to proclaim peace on earth: “I am beginning to understand the term ‘anti-Christ.’ Both the Allies and Germans pray to the same God for strength in their slaughter. What a joke it must seem to Him!” Newspaper mistakes still occur, comments the Hanover Post. The.A1- liston Herald, under the heading, “Lisle Church Jubilee," placed the following news item: Tuesday’s wrestling program drew a large crowd of satisfied fans. The cheer- ing and urging could be heard throughout the town as the crowd went wild at times when the favor. ite hold was applied to the villain." Then there was the one by the Or- villia Packet-Times which mixed up two small items, the result being as follows: “Following the church ser- vice on Sunday evening Rev. John Gray held an open air service at the corner of Mississaga and Peter Sts. We call upon the authoities to put a stop to this sort of rowdyism.

The New Spirit of the Road TRY COURTESY AS WE walk about on street, highway and bypath we are all most courteous to each other as we pass, overtake, stop, cross and otherwise mingle with our fellow-pedestrians. None of us would think of being otherwiseâ€"we are just naturally cour- teous at heart. But, too often, this native courtesy leaves us when we get behind the wheel of a motor vehicle. Do not let your attitude of courtesy leave you when you drive but, rather, “Try Courtesy” every inch of the way. When you meet a fellow-motorist pull well over to your right. When you overtake him sound your hornâ€"a short note will do! Keep to the right on curves, “blind spots” and, of course, on hills. Drive at the speed of the traffic you are inâ€"don’t “hold up the parade.” Never put the "other fellow” on “the spot”. He may get excited and you may both be hurt. Dip or dim your lights when you meet at nightâ€"neither of you can see where to steer when you are “blinded”. Do not “crowd” pedestrians. we all walk at times and we all dislike being startled. Hand-signal your intention to slow down, stop or turn and otherwnse act to your fellow-man awheel in the same eon- siderate manner as when he is afootâ€"“Try Courtesy” every inch of the way. you are Courteousâ€" When Driving When Walking flfififfl] Telephone 38 WE SELL AND ERECT W133 FENCE NORMAN BONE FENCNU and Tee-Bar Fence Posts Copper-Bearing FENCNG R.
