It seems a large number of motorists have received blue papers following trips through Aurora and many have been so put out over having to pay a fine that they have rushed all hot and bothered to the Motor League. Over the air and through the press Aurora’s action in prosecut- ing speeding motorists has been condemned. It is report- ed some Aurora business men are fearful lest the pub- licity injure business. ' We don’t know whether or not there is a so called speed trap in Aurora, but We have noticed that motor- ists travel more sanely in Aurora than they do in Rich- mond Hill and many other towns. The only reason that we know of for this is the fact that it is pretty generally known that if you exceed the speed limit in Aurora you will pay a fine. We envy Aurora her reputation as a town where the speed limit is enforced. We would worry less for our children’s safety if Richmond Hill enjoyed a similar repu- tation and we wouldn’t worry much about the business such a reputation is supposed to drive from town. We wish every‘ municipality in Canada could estab- lish a similar reputation and then there would be fewer accidents and the annual traffic toll materially reduced. All signs in the business world herald returning pros- perity and we hope that long overdue public undertakings held up through financial necessity or fear of war may soon be undertaken by the government. First major im- provement in the North Yonge Street district should be the widening of the highway to eliminate the bottleneck now existing from Richmond Hill to Steele’s Corners. Ad- mittedly there is diversity of opinion on the widening problem but there is very decided unanimity in the opin- ion that present conditions are disgraceful and constitute a constant traffic hazard which should not be allowed to continue. Along with the widening program should come sidewalks for pedestrians and lighting in the more thickly populated areas. The policy of The Liberal is to press hard for these much needed improvements in the North Yonge Street district and we invite our readers every- where to join us in our efforts. He stated that a certain merchant in the town was overdraWn and that it was his duty to check on him each day regarding deposits. In the course of this work he noticed an order amounting to $32.00, which had been charged on a certain morning. During that same after~ noon, however, this man who did not see fit to pay the account to the merchant, made a deposit in the bank of over $200.00, his account at that time amounting to over $5,000.00. Thus, the man who could pay was getting one and one-half per cent. interest on his deposit and forcing the merchant to pay six per cent on borrowed money. This seemslan exémple of “What’s Wrong Wlth Busi- ness”. If people who can. would pay their bills promptly, it would greatly assist the smaller buginess man.” Our northern neighbour, Aurora, this year has to a, marvelous degree developed a publicity complex. First it was its hunt for a mayor and now its fame or notoriety is linked up with a speed trap. BETTER ACCOMMODATION NEEDED AT RADIAL TERMINAL The lack of wash-room accommodation at the North Yonge radial station at the city limits should engage the attention of the members of the Radial Commission. Those who use the car line are justified in expecting such ac- commodation and it should be provided. The fact that present conditions have been allowed to continue over a period of years emphasizes the need for an active radial commission. RICHMOND HILL FLOWER SHOW AUGUST 30TH Horticultural Societies at Richmond Hill, Thornhill, Maple, Unionville and other centres throughout the dis- trict have made a notable contribution to community bet- terment by encouraging an interest in flowers. Thanks largely to the efforts of enthusiastic Horticulturists there is evident an increasing interest in things beautiful. Rich- mond Hill Horticultural Society holds its annual Fall Flow- er Show in the arena next Wednesday, August 30th and a large entry list and a large attendance will be great en- couragement to this worthy organization. “The difficulties the small business man has in fin- ancing, is evidenced by the following story related to us by a bank official not so very far from this town. Under the heading “What’s Wrong with Business” the Grimsby Independent tells a story which has an ex- cellent moral for all. The Independent says: The serious war situation in Europe is not only in- terfering with business recovery here but is responsible for the continued postponement of a general election in Canada. Prime Minister King in constant touch with Downing Street and fully aware of every move made in Europe is so concerned over the situation that he has so far postponed calling a fall general election. If an elec-‘ tion were called the House would be dissolved and there would be no Parliament for nearly two months. One can readily see that Mr. King is well advised in taking no chances in the face of such a serious situation. European affairs are so entangled that comment by anyone not familiar with behind-the-scenes activity is al-‘ most useless and what looks like a surety today may ap- pear like a silly observation tomorrow. However to say the least the picture is not a pretty one and there are all the familiar signs which point to another crisis. The" Whole of Europe is in a state of tension and all countries on the continent are preparing for any eventuality. It has all the earmarks of a dangerous situation. There are altogether too many loaded guns and one shot might set the whole of Europe on fire.

Were the Indians more numerous than the whites or vice versa? We assured him that it was most deci‘dedly vice versa. In' fact, the Indian popula- tion had been steadily declining, we told him. We decided to check up a little then andy found that in our second statement we were in error. In 1851 there were 1116 Indians '11 New Brunswick, while in 1924â€"the most recent figures available to us at the momentâ€"there were 1606, re- presenting roughly one-fourth of one per cent of the province’s popula- tion. The Indians are :for the most part stationed on “reserve-s”â€"â€"areas set aside for them 'by he G0vern- mentâ€"and still live chiefly from the woods, trapping, selling wild berries, etc. in summer and manufacturing baskets, canoes, snow shoes and other hand-made articles. The In- d‘ian villages, in many cases com.- posed of modern, inviting dwellings, and the legends and stories the red- men tell, are tourist attractions. A mammoth dance for Fair emâ€" ployees in the Amusement Area marked the seeond day of the.“ticket selling campaign" now lbeing conâ€" ducted by Fair officials. All em-. ployees producing passes were ad- mitted without change â€" this in- cluded anyone working on the grounds for an exhibitor as well as direct Fair Corporation workerSg Olutsiders were charged a small fee. The dance was held at three spotsâ€" near the new Bandshe-ll on a speâ€" cially constructed pavilion, at Sun Valley and at Merrie England. Frankie Masters and Bobby Hackett Were among the orchestra leaders doling forth rhythm. modern fire-f'ghting units over those of the last century. A bucket l\rigade, dressed in old time cosâ€" tumes, showed how a lady of 1776 was rescued, while the Nassau Counâ€" ty Volunteer Firemen of New York brought the picture to the present day with [breath-taking leaps into nets, the most modern equipment and all the attend'ng excitement of a 1939 big city bl‘aze. Fireman’s Day at the Fair saw thousands of firemen from United States and Canada pouring in to take part in the gigant’c parade. Philadelphia’s famed‘ “Mummers” clulbs took par’d in a celebration outside of their home city for the first time in his- tory. Highlight of the prOgram was a convention sponsored by the In- surance Company of North America and the State of New York Fire- mIan’s Association. Interesting side- light was the presence of a dozen old hand-pumping trucks,. each drawn by sixty men. Clharles Ball of Detroit decided to hitch-hike-to the World’s Fair but he dreaded getting a lame thumlb. So he invented an ingenious “auto:- matic thumb” to assist him. He sat on the roadside 'with a sign read- ing: World’s Fair, vCha'mp‘ion Bound." When a likely looking vehicle ap- proached he would press a button and a large hand with thumb cock- ed‘ in‘ the historic gesture of the knights of the road‘ would spring up. In all he had ten host chauf- feurs on his journey. Every boy who answered correct- ly the baseball question put to him in the baseball quiz at the Court of States for lads under fourteen received a pair of tickets to some Amusement World entertainment as a reward. The quiz questions were prepared by wellâ€"known sports writ- ers of metropolitan dailies and Bill “Shanty” Hogan of the Madison Square Boys Club acted as master of ceremonies and official encyclo- poedia. If .the kids c0uldn’t give the correct answers Mr. Hogan was supposed to do the job and he ful- filled the task with amazing skill. His associates claim that he canâ€" not be stuck on a question of re- cords, averages and what have you for everybody from the Abner Dou- bledays down to the Joe DiMaggios and Atley Donalds.

The death of Mr. Tolmage Adair| occurred early last Sunday morning at St. Michael’s Hospital, Toronto, and was a great shock to everyone. I On‘ Sunday, June 25th he. had an emergency operation for appendiâ€" citis from which he made a very slow recovery owing to his serious condition. Last week he was aiblel to- visit friends at Glencairn and took a change for the worse last Saturday.

In any case the sumptuous furnishing of his study and living rooms in the Chancellery in Berlin is certainly not exceeded in the man- sion of any millionaire.» But a, book has just been publish- ed which, writes C, A. Lyon in the London Sunday Express, throws a blinding light on the subject. It is called “Hitler Calls This Living." The Nazi leaders, according to this book, are living in 'such profilgate luxury as could only be dreamed of by a collection of new-rich men who have suddenly laid hands on unlim- ited hoards.

These are the questions that every one has asked‘ at some time or other about the New Germany. An answer has been difficult to get because of the strict censorship and the diffiâ€" culty of getting information. Goeblbels, according to the book, lives in similar state to Goering. “Eighteen months ago he bought a 'mansion at Schwanenwerder from the director of one of the large (banks, and‘ he owns a number or! other villas as well. His liking for the other sex costs him vast sums. He, too, was a poor man before 1933. Mrs. Phoebe Middleton Dalv. wid- ow of Herbert J.
