In the vision of Saint John the Divine, which he set down in the Book of Revelations, the inspired writer saw four horsemen. They were War, Famine, Pestilence and Death, the four great enemies of humankind. speaker was, of course, referring to the nation- alistic spirit of the present-day dictatorships, and the in- sidious 'g'rowth of their intolerant spirit tnroughout the world. fiNot since Pestilence, in the form of the plague which we call influenza, came out of Manchuria in 1918 and swept the Whole world at a cost of 25 million lives, has there been such an insidious and menacing enemy turned loose in the world. People can fight a foe whom they see; nations can guard themselves against physical threats to their safety. But it is immensely more difficult to protect ideals, be- liefs, and principles against the onslaught of ideas. ucao uuu LIJAVA u.» u “Anny “n. v‘Aqu“ . . v . . w v u M . i I’ l" 6 01 There is always the danger, especially in times of economic distress, that great numbers of people will be deceived into believing that the new idea 1s better than the old one, and that somehow they will fare better by dis- carding the ancient beliefs in such things as freedom of thought, the rights of individuals as superior to those of state, the privilege of religious liberty, the right to speak and preach one’s opinions: An. uvAvAA yv uuv uv-..ou v- vuv .1-“ ~ v . _ . , 7 7 Correspondents, contributors and advertisers are ask- ed to send in copy as usual. There will be no disturbance of our regular routine of business and We hope that solici- tations for advertising by the Lions will have a generous response from the business people of the district. The entire proceeds of advertising sold by the Lions club will be used in their very commendable work among the under- privileged children of the community. To those Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, a former US. President added a fifth in a speech a short time ago. He referred to “intolerant ideologies” as being as great a menace to the people of the world as were those whom Saint John saw in his Vision. It is against the insidious approach of the “intolerant ideologies” of the dictatorships which now control so much of the civilized world that we need to be on our guard, far more alertly than against the weapons or physical war~ fare. Lion “Bob” Little has been chosen Editor in Chief and already he is busy marshalling his staff, and between’ now and publication day local citizens can look for lots of intensive newspaper work in all departments of commune ity life. We are staying very much out of the picture but there are indications that the news service by expert writ- ers will cover everything from the troubled European situâ€" ation to the doings of the Boy Scouts. Mr. McCullagh, of the Globe and Mail having appar- ently become somewhat fed up on the adopted baby Lead- ership League, threw a big party at Maple Leaf Gardens- last night and formally handed the infant over tothe care of a couple of noted medical authorities, Dr. H. A. Bruce and Dr. Banting. We feel that in so doing Mr. McCullagh has displayed good sense. 'The baby was a bit noisy and showed signs of going off its feed; so he decided to get it off his hands and it is to his credit that he was able to induce these two eminent medicos to take on the job. Dr. Bruce, who is a former Lieutenantâ€"Governor of the Province and a most distinguished surgeOn, has been at a rather loose end since Mitch Hepburn closed up Govern- ment House and he lost his job and has been occupying his time in playing a fiddle in the Housing Orchestra con- ducted by Mrs. Ald. Plumptre. It must be admitted that while Lieutenant-Governor he always discharged his duties quite satisfactorily always signing his name in the proper place and never neglecting any of the social amenities inâ€" cidental to the job. As for Dr. Banting, his claim to fame and public recognition is as the discoverer of insulin and Readers of The Liberal have in store for them a plea- sant surprise. We just can’t keep it secret any longer. Our issue of April 6th will be produced entirely by the Richmond Hill Lions Club. Ye editor and staff are plann- ing a holiday for that week when the entire publication will be turned over to the members of the local service :club. Members of the Lions Club will gather the news, write the editorials, sell the “ads”, read the proofs, and incidently take in 'the profits. In turning over the publication of the paper for one week to The Lions we feel we are serving a two-fold pur- pose. We give the Lions an excellent opportunity to bring to some ten thousand readers in the district the aims and objects of their organizations and we will have the benefit of a model publication. The Lions in their publication will embody their ideas of the ideal Home Paper. We are hopeâ€" ful our regular editions will not look too drab in compar- ison, but we are taking the chance anyway, and Thursday, April 6th the Lions’ roar will be heard through the col-y umns of‘your home weekly._ “an - ru- .1 Canadians are paying more taxes than at any previ- ous time in their history and Mr. Dunning recently told the taxpayers it was their own fault. He said in the House that the Commons was a mere spending agency at the pub- lic’s demand and that the demand has been altogether too heavy on legislative members â€"â€" irrespective of their party affiliations. There were not sufficient taxpayers in Can- ada, he said, interested in reduced expenditures to permit a needed scaling down of costs. An example of what Mr. Dunning had in mind was in evidence the other day in the municipal sphere of gov- ernment. We read, for instance, that a delegation of truck owners in a large Eastern municipality trooped to the City Hall to complain against the use of civic garbage trucks for snow removal. .The use of the city trucks, for snow removal purposes when they were not otherwise en‘ gaged, deprived the truck owners of some of their oppor-- t’unities to rent to the city their own vehicles for snow- clearing. Here was a move to save taxâ€"money opposed as always by those taxpayers adversely affected by the save ings. I LIONS CLUB TO PUBLISH EDITION OF THE LIBERAL Advertising Rates on Application.

THE PUBLIC AND SPENDING THE DOCTORS CALLED IN THE FIFTH HORSEMAN “THE LIBERAL” Established 1878 This article is the first of a ser- ies in which the writer will give different hints whereby people can improve their health and avoid disâ€" ease. It will be my endeavour to make these talks practical so that readers will have something tang- ible to use from day to day. Know- ledge is not power, it is its applicaâ€" tion which is valualble. We may know for instance that overeating is harmful but the knowledge alone is valueless if we do not change this habit. For this reason points will be emphasized which can be imme- diately put into practice and so made ha’bitual, also there will be nothing technicalâ€"in fact some statements may be technically incorrect al- though true from a practical stand~ point. E.G. The country-woman whose doctor told her what was technically true that she had acute gastritis worried and did‘ not sleep all night. If she had been told she had a stomachache she might have been relieved in her feelings, taken some peppermint tea and all would have been well. Again some people think that since the body is such a mysterious, intricate structure em- ploying nearly every mechanical, chemical, electrical and psychologi- cal principle known to man and a lifetime of study will only scratch the surface the layman had best leave the subject alone. This idea is erroneous however. If the aver- age man uses common sense and! studies a little how to drive his automolbile he will seldom need the services of a mechanic or expert and the same thing applies 'to keeping his own body fit and well. This week let us consider some1 to hove work and play with equal points about water. Raw water whe- ther warm or cold is generally slightly laxative in affect whereas boiled water whether warm or cold is constipating. If however we mix boiled and unboiled water in the same drink We Ihave a laxative which is verv severe with some people. ’Pahus violent diarrhoea can sometime be traced to the cook adding more un- boiled water to something boiling and then serving this before the whole thing has boiled again thus having a mixture of boiled and un- boiled water. to advantage by people suffering constipation. Merely add a spOOn- ‘ful or two of unboiled water to your dil‘inrks. I know of many who have "been helped by this s'mple-‘hint though of course it alone is often ineffective. u The world This idea can be used' enthusiasm, and the qualification to talk about books and art as well as baseball and business. No matter how skilled a craftsman he may be, the man who is unfamiliar with the arts and with the problems of his fellow-man has small place in the life of today. The founder of the Chatauqua movement put the prob- lem smartly when he said: ‘If I had a son who wanted to become a black- smith, I should send him to college.

The Kleinburg Y.P.U. held their regular meeting on Monday evening, March 13 in the basement of the church with the president Mr. N. Watson in the chair. Following the business session the meeting was given over to Miss Grace Scott, the citizenship convenlor. The first part of her programme was a study of the province of Ontario and the last half of the programme was an Irish prégramme for St. Patrick’s Day. ’The scripture lesson Twas read by Adele Wardlaw and Newton Watson read a poem entitled “My Country.” Readings on “Ontario” were read by Miss G. Scott, Miss Anna Kaiser, Harold Wardlaw and Miss M. Ham~ bly. A poem “The Shamrock,” was read by Doris Bell and was fOIIOWed by a paper on “Thomas Moore" by Mrs. W. Benstead. Miss Olive Dev- ins sang a solo, “A Little Bit of Heaven”, and Mrs. Bailey read a poem entitled “You have to believe.” The meeting closed with a “Pat con- test.” THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL.

With these two distinguished gentlemen in charge the infant should muddle along for a time, but its ultimate fate is quite clear and such a movement could only have been made a factor in political life had a couple of experi- enced men been induced to take hold of it, work out a platform and participate in the coming general election, but when Mr. McCullagh reached the decision to place it in the hands of a couple of retired medicos he had no doubt satisfied himself that its advertising value had already waned to such an extent as to make its further exploita- tion at his hands unprofitable and that as a political force it was, as we have suggested before, a washoutâ€"Hudson Herald. We understand that he has now retired from most of his medical and research activities and will be in a fine posiâ€" tion to give the infant first hand insulin treatment should it develop the troubles for which that remedy is designed.

KLEINBURG There is no discounting the value of vocational training in present-day civilization. Let. us not, however, blind ourselves to the fact that it is a doubleâ€"edged weapon which can subtract from as well as add to a child’s later usefulness as an indi- vidual and a citizen. One of the chief aims of the in- telligent parent is to help his child to find himself by encouraging his ability to think, to act and to creâ€" ate. No child should be permitted to devote all his time and energy to any specialized field to the exclu- sion of art, literature, music and other cultural subjects necessary for a well-rounded adulthood. It is up to the parents to instill an appreci- ation of these things in the early formative years when the child's character is plastic, so that he may grow up without conscious effort into the kind of many-sided person- ality the world so admires. We are completely in accord with the views on this subject expressed by Dr. Holland Thompson, who, as editor of The Book of Knowledge for over a quarter of a century, has had a hand in raising millions of youngâ€" sters. The word “success”, said Dr. Thompson, “used to mean the abil- ity to make money.
