No private invitations will be accepted by the Royal party. The entire visit will be planned carefully in ad- vance and while every city, town, village and hamlet in the country would like to have that community included in the itinerary, it is obvious all cannot be so honored. No gifts will be accepted by the King and Queen from individuals, organizations or public bodies, following usual procedure. _ ‘_ . n 1 1 ,AJ, 1... A.- COUNTY COUNCILS SHOULD G0 Everyone talks about the burden of over-government in this country but apparently no-one ever does anything about it. Even the millionaire publisher of the Globe and Mail engages an expensive network of radio stations to tell the people we have too much government but so far he hasn’t said where he would start to reduce it. We- say let’s make a start on reducing the cost of government by abolishing county councils in Ontario. If that succeeds we would favor substantial reductions in the Legislative assem lies of the provinces or their abolition too if such would be possible. But one step at a time, so let’s start with the County Council. As we have so often said we consider it a useless spoke in our wheel of government, a relic of the horse and buggy days which can very well be dispensed with. Any government which comes out with a policy to ab lish county councils will we are sure have the support 0? the great majority of the electors. The people most opposed to doing away with county councils, we have found, are members of county council, and there are even members of county council and former members who agree with our stand on this important question. Let’s start a reduction in the cost of government, let’s abolish county councils in Ontario. Several times already appeals have been made by an- thorities to Canadians who are urged to unite in easing as much as possible the burdens of the long and arduous journey. And that Canadians will respond to this appeal In various parts of Ontario, Boards of Education are pressing for enlarged school accommodation upon the pre- text that the Department of Education at Toronto has re- arranged the High School curriculum, and demands that more space must be provided within a given time. Naturally such an august occasion entails a vast a- mount of careful preparation on the part of the Federal and Provincial governments and lesser public bodies. Orig- inally, it was intended Their Majesties would pay an offi- cial visit to Ottawa only, but on the decision of the King himself, the tour will include all nine Proyu‘ices.‘ “ ‘ We feél certain. -_-_..._--_ 1 ‘_,- This was made clear a few days ago, when the Min- ister, Hon. Dr. Simpson, speaking before a ratepayers’ meet- ing at Islington, emphatically contradicted statements that the Department of Education is‘urging school boards to erect new schools or additions. The Minister said: “We impress on school boards to go slow and not increase the burden of taxation. Let’s look before we leap. Before embarking on further spending, let’s analyze thoroughly the financial structure of the municipalities concerned.” ----=v ~r-.-- Despite hewiwer, it appears that the Department is counselling boards to exercise wise caution in their ex- tension policies. _ A _ - - < .u ur- VISITING ALL CANADA One of the greatest events in Canada during 1939 will be the visit of Their Majesties King George and Queen Elizabeth. The voyage across the ocean, their journey from the Atlantic to the Pacific, their every step, will make the headlines of all newspapers in the Empire and in most democracies. LIONS ASK YOUR SUPPORT Richmond Hill Lions Club will sponsor a skating carn- ival to be held at the arena next Thursday evening, Janu- ary 26th and we trust their effort will receive the same generous patronage which has always greeted their former appeals to the public. In our last issue we recounted a few of the major activities of this local service club and we are sure the work they are doing warrents the support of the citizens of the district. Every cent raised by the Lions by their various activities is used for public service work. Although organized less than a year the Lions Club has made its influence felt in the community. The recent health survey of the children attending the public school is evidence of the thorough manner in which the members are tackling their job of extending assistance to the under-privileged children of the community. Already several needy cases have been attended to and many more are on the list approved and ready for attention. They will be taken care of just as soon as time and finances permit. You may help along this very commendable work by buying a ticket for the carnival to be held next Thurs- day. The club will welcome as new members any who are anxious to serve the community through the avenue of the service club activities. ORGANIZE TO HELP THEMSELVES The announcement in a recent issue that Vaughan and Richmond Hill Veterans had organized an employment bur- eau for their members sounds like a very sensible move which should have the support and co-operation of the citizens. Often there are odd jobs to be done and perhaps you just wonder where to get the necessary help. If you will just keep in mind the Veterans employment bureau you will get prompt service and will be extending a helping hand to those veterans who are making a real effort to heln themselves. If you have some job to be done, think of the Veterans employment bureau. At the inaugural meeting of the Richmond Hill coun- cil last week councillor Alex Little raised this very timely question, and it is one which is worthy of thought by the ratepayers of Richmond Hill.‘ As councillor Little pointed out the High School Board spends a lot of the taxpayers’ money in a yeart and in his opinion the taxpayers should have the right to say who is going to do the spending. We are inclined to agree with councillor Little and we would like to see a communication urging such a change sent to the Ontario Department of Education. Not that we are finding any fault with the actions of the Board in the past, because we think the town has been well served by those who have been appointed. Probably the ratepay- ers would elect the same persons who have been appointed, but the principle remains, that those who spend public money should be responsible directly to the ratepayers.

TESTON Your inquiry how can weekly newspapers best help to “Make Can- ada a Better Place in which to Live‘ and Work" is most timely. The same' problems must be in everybody’s mind. I feel sure that the 700 week: ly newspapers can help solve them: My suggestions are: ‘ (1) Print the policy or platform" of your paper in a conspicuous place each week Keep banging away at the measures you advocate. The’ human mind is supposed to get (things easily. I believe this is an error. (2) Abraham Lincoln read more Country Weeklies than any public“ man. He knew and liked' the c0mâ€"‘ mon sense of country people. CounJ try people are just as sensible to-‘ (lay. Encourage them to write their opinions on current issues pui -’ lish the letters either with or with: out their names according as they are confidential or not. ‘ (3) Stress “Self-Reliance” as a‘ strong human attri‘bute. Print stor- ies of people who endure hard'ships’ and tniumph over them instead of going on relief where someone else‘ has to struggle for them. True stor-' ies of this kind furnish heroines inI the home with good material to hand‘ to the gentry of respectable loafers) that is growing at a great rate. (4) In respect to country and city' people entreat them to have a‘ tender regard one for the other ..." try to influence industry to establish' itself in smaller centres rather than'i in the very large cities c0m-mend' a broader viewpoint in looking at matters that pertain to the various provinces. If the people of Canada' are persuaded to divide against one another it will be a great pity. Dear Mr. Editor (5) When are we going to wake up to the tax situation? Mr. Car-‘ lisle and others are putting it plain-' 1y. Can’t the weekly papers do any-' thing? Sir Wilfred Laurier told us we could have a railway of our own‘ and the “sumâ€"total” cost would be $13,000,000. The deficit is now $50,: 000,000 . .. Every Year.
