Dictators have no use for yOuth organizations whose prin- ciples include international friend- ship. The world! Scout census 1‘ 1937 gave Austria 10,466 Scouts and leaders. Spokesm-en for the provinces in placing their views before the Row- ell Commission show a great desire for increased provincial taxing pow- er, but have nothing to say as to the urgent need of reducing the a- mount of their own expenditures. Their sole idea appears to be to get more money to spend. RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, MAY 12th, 1938. For the third year in; succession, average values of occupied: farm lands in Canada are estimated at $24 per acre. Farm land values have been declining since 1928 when they were reported at $38 per acre. A low point of $23 per acre was reached in 1934 and an increase to $24 occurr- ed in 1935, since when the values have remained at that figure. As a means of increasing employâ€" ment in Orillia and at the same time provide a remedy for the shortage of homes, the Orillia Board of Trade is taking steps to obtain Govern- ment approval of a prOposal to guar- antee a fixed tax rate‘ of thirty mills for a period of five years for all new buildings in Orillia. A total of 3,339,900 sheep on Can- adian farms as at December 1, 1937, was an increase of 48,300 over the number at the corresponding date in 1936. There was also. an increase of 300,000 in the number of sheep on farmg in‘ the United States, bring- ing the total in that country up to 52,900,000. A proposal to add five new rooms and an auditorium to Markham High School at an estimated cost of $55.- 000, of which the village’s share would be approximately $18,000, was turned down by the village council for this year. There will be a provincial election in Saskatchewan in June. Opposing the present Liberal government will be Conservative, GOP. and Social Credlit candidates. The speed with which events move in Europe suggests that a climax in inIt-ernational affairs is not too far dyis'tant. Markham village will adopt day- light saving time May 22nd to Sep- tember 10th. Reports from Western Canada srta'te crop prospects are excellent. There has been an abundance of moisture. Our Western cousins de- serve a break. According to the new 1938 assess- ment rolls the populatiom of Mark- ham village' is 1153, and the total assessment $544,717.00. Aurora town council voted $150 to be spent in providing some suitable recognition for Aurora Jubilee jun~ ior O.H.A. team. 500‘ bags of carrots were shipped from Sxtvouffville last week. Their tiestination was England. Ulp in! Cobalt the 'tax rate for 1938 has been struck at 90 mills. Correct this sentence: A Richmond Hill by-law forbids dogs running at large and: all dogs have been tied n A wi1d~eyed suggestion which came out of Toronto this week was that Victoria Day be celebrated on Mon- day. However we are glad to say the suggestion was decisively squelch- ed. ‘ Invite your friends to Richmond Hill for Victoria Day. According to the famous “TOmmy’: Church everyone has now been men- tionedl as a successor to Hon. R. B. Bennett except Ghandi and Charlie Mc’Ca rthy. Richmond Hill Fair, Tuesday, May 24th. General News & Views Tomorrow is Friday the 13th mm m] Arbor Day was no”: observed this year as has formerly been the cus- tom, b‘ut a large number of trees principally maples, have been plant- ed‘ this week in the Park and other places where needed. There was a good turnout at the first fire practice of the season on Monday evening, few of the mem- bers being absent. The engine, hook-and-ladder, and other apparatus were taken down to the tank oppo- site the Fire Proof. The engine worked first-class and the hose was found to be in good condition. At the business meeting held after the prac- tice Mr. Charles Johnston was adld- ed to the list of members. The concrete store and residence is being nicely painted this week by the master hand of Mr. W. Hewison. The colors are green, 'cream and terra cotta. v Our Fair 1898 Coloured pestersr are being circu- lated announcing the annual Spring Fair of the Richmond Hill and Yonge Street Agricultural Society to be held here on the Queen’s Birthday. The day’s programme will open with a football tournament at 11 a.m., open to all teams, for which a prize of $16.50 will be given. At 1 o’clock a lacrosse match between two good teams will take place, to be followed ‘by a 2.30 and a 3 minute trot or pace, farmers trot, running race, biâ€" cycle race, stilt race, foot races, sack races, etc. Programmes will be dis- tributed in a few days showing the numbers to be given at the cOncert in the evening. A first-class bill of fare may be looked forward to. The work of cheese making in Maple is being carried on vigorously at present. Many of the farmers a- round are sending the’r milk in to the factory. Flags throughout Ontario will fly on the Public Schools on Wednesdéw next, the 18th of May, in honor of the landing of the United Empire Loyalis-ts who arrived in this coun- try on the 18th of May, 1783. No doubt the flag on the High School will be run up on that occasion. _ in the 'Church of England in the af. ternoon. Wheat sold in the Toronto mar- ket this week as high as $1.15, and in Chicago $1.75 a bushel was paid. These are the highest prices paid for many years.

GREENE Ol=0 “Comfort,” according to one be- wildered motorist of Wingham, Ont. is the latest fad to be requested by would-be hitchâ€"hikers who travel by means of the “thumb route.” One good hearted motorist upon passing two of the fairer sex While en route to business was hailed and asked his destination. Upon receiv- ing their information and much to the chagrin of the motorist, one girl, the more witty of the two, remark- ed: “Have you a radio in this car?” “No. I’m sorry, Miss. These mOd- ern inventions are too modem for my mode of travel.” Whereupon both refused to accept the lift, and slammed the door, much to the a- mazement of the' astonished motor- ist, who continued on his way, leav- ing the “Queens of the road” await- ing the next victim, who no doubt would receive the same query.
