Thomas Richard Henry writing in the Evening Tele- gram?»has the following to say about Hitch-Hikers: _ “Hitch hikers say that in Ontario only one motorist in 500 gives them a lift. ' The percentage is too high. What these upper class boys who go hitch hiking fail to realize is that when they stand on the highway and beg a ride they become beggars and panhandlers just the same as the “cup of cawfee” lad on Bay street â€"â€" ex- cept that the Bay street panhandler may need a cup of coffee. ‘ Then the ordinary beggar doesn’t think he has done something smart, and go around to try and get his pic- ture in the paper because he has panhandled many cups of coffee. It’s time these hitch hikers got wise to the fact that they have no heaven sent privilege to ride in the other fellow’s car at the other fellow’s expense.” CURB THE SPEEDERS There is a hesitancy on the part of some tOWns and villages to get after motorists who tear through at fifty and sixty miles an hour in case the municipality will get a bad name. It is argued that motorists and business might avoid towns where the speed laWS are too rigidly enforced. We have no sympathy with this View and we believe the more strict enforcement of speed laws the better for ev- eryone. Even if some business should be lost a little busiâ€" ness is not nearly as important as human life. Motorists drive too fast through Richmond Hill and many other towns and villages of Ontario and after there has been a serious accident is too late to start action to curb the recklessness. Towns which have a reputation for prose- cuting speeders and reckless drivers are more safe for those who use the streets.

Its brilliant idea of bringing the children of Britain to Canada for shelter from German air raids in case a war breaks out is just about as Wildly impractical as it is kindly in intent. Even though arâ€" rangements could be made for housing and taking care of Britain’s 10,000,000 children between the ages of one and ten how in heck could they be brought to Canada? 1n vax LIV" A.Vv... yv“... -___ Allowing 1,000 children to a load it would take 10,â€" 000 ships to bring them across the Atlantic, and since there are probably not more than 100 liners running out of Britain which could be utilized for this purpose, if in- deed there are that many, it would take 100 round trips for each of them. If these were made at the rate of one every three weeks it would take 300 weeks or nearly six years” to get all the kiddies across, and another six years to get them back. And how would a nation of eleven mill- ion people look after 10,000,000 British youngsters for six years, and how about stopping new babies being born? 1 1--.. .yccuo, auu nu u v u v u u v g e v [gr-“D ..

His name had been placed on the “urgent” list, but unfortunately an inâ€" vitation didn’t come in soon enough. He was killed while playing in the street with a group of other boys. According to the director of the country home depart- ment, there are close to 300 boys between nine and thirteen years of age for whom a country vacation is urgently need- ed. “The boys are playing on the streets during these hot summer days. Not only are they in constant danger but their health is becoming impaired. A visit to a farm might not only prevent a fatality but would help build up resist- ance against sickness,” she said. More than five hundred children have already been sent out of town by the Neighborhood Workers Associa- tion, through the courtesy of country-folk who have ex- tended invitations to them. For the most part the lucky ones have been girls. “People seem a bit afraid of inviting boys for fear they get into mischief. but according to our records they are so thrilledto be on a farm they remain on their very best behaviour in the hope they will be asked to remain a long time,” the director said.

Model trains and automobiles move about through the towering miniature mountainsi, exactly as they do in Banff. The C.N.R. exhibit depicts with photo murals the various phases of rail- way transportation in serving the welfare of man. The exhibit is built around a moving picture in technicolor which shows interesting spots throughout the Dominion. The cinema has been attracting a lot of attention and usually has quite a crowd of onlookers. The National Parks Depal‘tnnentl has a series of changing panoramas showing various parks throughout the Dominion and illustrating some of the tourist attractions to be found in them â€" golfing, bathing, hiking, boating. motoring- and so on.
