Above all, it will require the active co-operation all Canadians who believe Canada should go forward one nation and who are prepared to make sacrifices, necessary, to achieve this end. Make Canada one nation; that is Canada’s job of the year. It is a job to which every citizen must put his hand. The job will require a modernized constitution. It will require the best wisdom and judgment the Rowell Commission can bring to bear on our complex fin- ancial and taxation puzzles. _ It will require elimination of over-lapping services and of the vexatious confusion and waste that have crept into our governmental system since 1867. It is a strange thing that many people will squander a half dollar in a raffle, a prize draw, or take a chance on almost anything under the sun, and will spend a like amount at a picture show or for gas without a second thought, but when it is announced that radio licenses will increase by six-bits they raise a holler which would wake the dead. We have been asking for better radio programs and less of the advertising blah about patent medicines and if we are ever going to obtain it we must expect to) pay the piper. Radio programs over Canadian stations still leave much to be desired but at least they are better than in the past. Much has been written about the “Forgotten Man” but Yonge Street, one of the most important traffic art- eries of the province. will soon earn the reputation of the “forgotten highway”. The bottle-neck from Richmond Hill to Steele’s corners is a dark blot on the fine highway system of this fair province and we hope another year Will not be allowed to pass without some major improve- ment on this important stretch of roadway. pay. Before handing out fifty thousand dollars we hope County Council will make a thorough investigation of the whole administration of the Children’s Aid Society. No one Wants this important work to suffer for lack of suffi- cient funds but large salaries for a crew of officials after all is not much help to the under-privileged children. The Children’s Aid Society asked County Council for $50,000.00 to carry on the work of the Society in the com- ing year. There is probably no more commendable work than that of looking after the under-privileged children but when $50,000.00 of the taxpayers’ money is to be hand- ed out we think the taxpayers should have a little more say in its spending and a little more information as to where it goes. It is freely hinted that the salary list of the Society is rather healthy and that the administration of the affairs of the organization generally are on a plane not quite in keeping with the ability of the taxpayer to The annual meeting of the Richmond Hill Agriculâ€" tural Society will be held in the Municipal Hall Saturday. Last year this historic Society held its 88th annual Spring Fair and after the annual meeting plans will commence at once for the holding of the 89th exhibition next May 24th. For nearly a century Richmond Hill Fair has been an established institution in this community. Every citi- zen of the town and district should take an interest in Richmond Hill Fair and lend a helping hand to promote its interests. Every citizen of town and country is in- vited to attend the annual meeting on Saturday and we hope to see a representative gathering at this meeting. Show your interest in Richmond Hill Fair by attending the annual meeting on Saturday and help make the ‘1938 Spring Exhibition bigger and better than any Of the 88 which are now a matter of history in this community. Richmond Hill merchants held a meeting Monday ev- ening and decided to petition council for a by-law fixing closing hours. When this by-law is passed Richmond Hill like the great majority of other centres will have six 0’- clock closing of stores except Friday and Saturday even- ings. We think the merchants took a sensible step and we are sure the citizens of Richmond Hill and the sur- rounding district will co-operate with them to the fullest extent. Local business men need your business and are anxious to give the best possible service but we do not think it is necessary to stay open long hours every even- ing to serve the needs of the buying public. There are still two evenings for those who prefer shopping at night or are unable to do so during the daytime as the stores will be open both Friday and Saturday evenings. On be- half of the Richmond Hill merchants we ask the people of the district for your co-operation. The statement of the Canadian Welfare Council that Canada must look forward indefinitely to caring for 300,- 000 to 400,000 workers each year who are unable to se- cure employment in the winter time, is challenged by the Montreal Gazette, which points out that before the great depression and the institution of relief such people as were seasonably unemployed were in the habit of conserving. their income for the days in which they were without work. Hereafter, it would appear that they need no longer be thrifty, but are to live at the public expense just so soon as their actual employment ceases or so soon as they have spent what they have earned. The Gazette objects to the statement-that “this is a load that Canada must carry in her economic stride, apart from economic col- lapse or drought.” To place this obligation upon the tax- payer, without discrimination, is to place a premium upon improvidence.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 27th, 1938 THE FORGOTTEN HIGHWAY LISTEN TO THE HOLLER CANADA’S TASK IN 1938 EARLIER CLOSING HOURS AN INDEPENDENT WEEKLY “THE LIBERAL” Established 1878 -7 Toronto Finan cial so many people are unable to resist the extra temptatfion of so much palateâ€"enticing food. In Canada and the United States, Christmas always has been observed by an abundant offering of food prepared in an at- tractive manner. Some of it would have been better regarded as a spec- tacle rather than eaten, but human beings seem to lose a lot of their will power when they sit down to the Christmas feast and observe the great array of tempting viands ranging from roast turkey to plum pudding. It is also the case that many people indulge in alcoholic drinks at this season and the consequent derange- ment of their digestive system gives them a feeling of serious illness. To those whose physical condition is af- fected by some malady, the illness from Christmas over-eating and ovâ€" er-drinking is actually serious and when the symptoms are disturbing, they should not hesitate to obtain medical advice. However, a consid- erable percentage of the adult pOpu- lationv has learned, by experience, to avoid the dangers of the prolific food supplies that are available at Christ- mas and the New Year and they es- cape the digestive upsets that are the fate of those less saphisticated or more adventurous. i It is mostly the effect of poOr dis- ‘cretion in eating that promotes the making of “good resolutions” at this season and while most of this has no lasting influence, it is not a com- pletely futile practice. Some people actually stick to their reform resolu- tions for months and they are the better for it. One of the most de- sirable resolutions would be to de- cide on steps to promote good health by moderation in eating- and drink- i-nvg. Another disastrous modern practice is late hours. That is an inâ€" stitution which insiduously takes a tremendous toll on human vitality. In many cases where death takes in- dividuals who should be at their best physically, the reason is that they have simply worn out their vital re- sources by lack of adequate rest. As lack of sufficient sleep is generally associated with other forms of phy- sical abuse, the combination is as- suredly deadly. Medical authorities seem to be emphasizing more than‘ ever, the desirability of from 8 to‘ 10 hours sleep out of the 24, and the advice seems to be exceedingly sound ‘ and desirable. The social customs} of recent years render it difficultl for people to get time to sleep the necessary period. However, the pen- alties that are imposed by nature because of violation of the laws of health are sufficient to constitute serious warning. No one can afford to jeopardize health by foolish social customs. The intelligent procedure is to try to change the practices that , dictate late'hours at social functions. , The modern dance institution seems to be one of "the worst offenders. It would appear to be not an im-i "possible reform to have all social gatherings end not later than midâ€"‘ night. Everyone would still have a‘ good time and: be able to get suffi- ‘cient rest to maintain good physical condition. i Welland Tribune With Christmas recading into the realm of memory, many people are trying- to account for the sensation of physical and mental depression which possesses them.
