NORTH YORK PROUD OF MORGAN BAKER Citizens of North York irrespective of political affili- ations experienced a thrill of pride last Thursday when their representative in the Legislature stood up in the Jhou-se in opposition to his leader and declared that prin- ciples are bigger than party. In opposing the motion sprung on the Legislature by Premier Hepburn the North York member has received the unanimous endorsation of the North York Liberal Association and he has earned the thanks of loyal Canadians everywhere. The hope that Premier Hepburn was big enough to put the country’s service ahead of his personal ambitions, forget his personal grudge against Prime Minister King and lend the Ontario administration’s support to Canada’s war effort was dispelled by the Hepburn-Drew outburst in the Legislature last week. Mr. Hepburn’s former ally Mr. Duplessis having been driven to oblivion by the people of Quebec the Ontario Premier has apparently found an- other congenial running mate in C01. George Drew. These two men who at the moment are leaders of the two hisâ€" toric political parties in this province appear to believe that they alone are qualified to direct Canada’s war ef- fort. Our observation is that at any time. but particu- larly in these very grave and dangerous days, the gov- ernment of Canada is much safer in the hands of the mature statesmanship of Mackenzie King than at the mercy of publicity-loving Hepburns and Drews. The job of government in Canada at this time is not to put on a military spectacle to glorify any individual or party, but to prosecute Canada's war effort in closest co-operation with the governments of our allies. Great Britain and France. The people of Canada want to make the greatest possible contribution to the allied cause. Just what that contribution is to be has been determined by our government after closest coâ€"operation and consulta- 'tion with the greatest minds in the Empire and at the moment our duty is to support that decision to the utâ€" most. It is not the duty of a political leader or any news- paper or any individual not in possession of complete in- formation which of wartim‘e necessity must be secret, to engage in petty and destructive criticism. The Hepburns, the Drews, the Toronto Telegram, are not rendering any service to Canada or the Empire by their conduct in re- cent weeks. Honest, sincere, fair and constructive criticism has its place in wartime as it has in peacetime and we are all fom’it. But there is a time and place for it as there is for everything else. Canada’s Parliament meets this week and the members of the House and the Canadian .people will be given every opportunity to acquaint them- selves with all the facts of Canada’s war effort. Col. George Drew and Premier M. F. Hepburn, Con- servative and Liberal provincial leaders, join in attack- ing the government at Ottawa for lack of energy in prose- cuting the war. Col. Drew says that nearly everyone he meets brings up this subject. As a military man Col. Drew moves in different circles from the average man. and that is rather a handicap for a politician. We haven’t heard one individual say, since this war began, that Can- ada was doing too little. There were some, at first, who said that Canada was doing too much. but there is no criticism on the street or on the concessions that we have heard of the way Ottawa is carrying on. The federal govâ€" ernment, which we have often criticized. is apparently making a great war effort without any over-indulgence in hate or propaganda. If a war must be fought, that is the way to fight it.â€"â€"Newmarket Era. LOBBYING IN COUNTY COUNCIL There will be general agreement throughout the County of York with the statements of Reeve Ainsworth of Mimico in condemnation of the Vicious practice of “lobbying” in the York County Council. In fact people might be excused if they believed that the main func- tion of County ’Council was the elections of a Warden, Commissioners, Committee Chairmen, House of Refuge Commission etc. It is no secret that years ahead these plums are marked and the continuous pursuit of them by County Councillors cannot be interpreted as in any way adding to the usefulness of County Council. Speaking on the subject in County Council Reeve Ainsworth said “The system practised in the county during the last de- cade has been vicious.” “To be elected to a commission- ership you must nominate yourself years in advance. You must decide a year ahead when you’re going to stand, and then commence a lobby to get the necessary votes. It’s all wrong. It’s undemocratic.” We have been intimately associated with Morgan Baker for many years and we have known him to be a man of sincere and honest convictions. When the test came he was not found wanting and never were we more proud of him than when he stood up to lead the fight for what he thought to be right. Therefore, a salute to Morgan Baker and if there were more like him in the Ontario Legislature it would be the better for this prov- ince. The annual meeting of the Richmond Hill Agricul- tural Society will be held next Tuesday. The work of this organization should appeal to public spirited citizens of the district and we hope to see a large attendance at the meeting. YOu are invited to join in the support of the Richmond Hill Agricultural Society. We must remember that CANADA IS AT WAR, and that for all of us this war is life or death. We must WIN the war. and if we lose nothing else matters. It is no time for petty political bickerings and those who attempt to capitalize on the tremendous burden placed on those who shoulder those colossal responsibilities of government will have little public sympathy. Mr. Hepburn and Col. Drew at least should wait until the danger threatening our very existence is dealt with before attempting to advance their own political futures.

Full reports from all sources were reported. The grand 'total was approximately $1200 with ‘all accounts paid and a ‘balance in- the bank This caused considerable comment because of the severe losses to the congregation. Sevenal of the most loyal memlbers departed this life in the year 1939. Other very loyal memlbers have left the district and- now live in other parts of the Dominion. Past experience taught the Rec- tor of All Saint-s" Church, King; St. John the Baptist, Oak Ridges, and St. Stephen’s Church, Maple, that plans should {be made to hold the respective annual meetings of the Vestries as early as possible lest roads become blocked.I and the meet. ings postponed] from time to time as happened in 1939. Therefore all the Church vestry meetings have been held. The bride, given in marriage by her father, looked lovely in‘ a period gown of pink net over satin. It was designed with sweetheart neckline, short full sleeves. and‘ short jacket. rl‘he bouffant skirt was in three 'tiers emphasizing the slim waistâ€" line. She wore pink gloves and gold shoes, and in her hair small pink roses, finished at the back of the head with metallic gold banrd-eau. She wore a corsage of roses and sweet peas. 0n the return from. the honey- moon trip the couple “Vim live at 94 |Aloima Avenue, Toronto. I 'T-beir many friends Wish them success: and‘ happiness.

The financial statement showed a grand total from all sources, including the Parish Hall, of $3817.37. The bride’s aunt Mrs. Alvvin Walker, of Kirklami Lake. was matron of honor, weaving a pretty gown: of (blue sheer, a doll hat, and borsage of roses and sweet peas.

Following- the ceremony a recep- tion was held at the bride’s home, her mother receiving in black crepe and wearing a cors'age of orchids and 1in of the valley.

J. Whitâ€" ten as chairman. Although sensing kidfifioulrt days ahead in 1940, the spirit of optimism and oheei'fuulness tpa'eivailed thmughouit the meeting and it was decided to complete the present plan‘s fer the Parish Hall and to have the opening as soon as possible. ‘ Average attendance with full complement of services was 45.

Despite the severe losses and con- sequent shrinkage in members all felt that All Saints would continue its proud record of meeting all obli- gations in) the year 1940, and that the church would advance and win new ground. took place in Laskay United Church on Friday, January 19th at 8 o’- clock, Rev.

In speaking of the past year the pastor said, “We «arme through the year well. I appreciate the strength of the church. We held our own and were in a healthier condition than the neighboring churches. From my viewpoint the standing of Tes- ton and the other churches on the circuit are commendable. ‘The gen)- eral work of the church is good. We face a year that will be a :severe test of churches. The world will look to the church for a true lead- ership in the days lbecfore us. A better understanding- is meeting the new situation in a better way than in the last war. I appreciate the loyalty of the members of the church.

Thursday, January 18 was quilt- ing day for the ladies of the W.A. They came in the morning and had a full day. Lunvch was served and the needles plied until the quilt was finished. Ed.

A man an live with only i one kidney in which case the skin wouldl attempt to relieve this kidney by allowing the passage of waste matter which normally would go through the kidneys and it is also true that when the first raincoats came into fashion people suffered from partial suffocation because there were no airvents through the tight rufbiber. Nowadays rulb’ber coats are either not tight or have these airvents. The close connec- tion between skin function and the kidneys is seen when a sudden chillâ€" ing of the skin causes distress in Weak kidneys or bladder.

Any good farmer knows that a horse that is brushed and curried well every day will do more work on less feedI than a similar horse which is not given the same care and there is no health procedure which pays larger divi- dends than daily brushing- of the body. Start conservatively with a soft brush and gradually use a stiffer one. I know several elderly people who now use a really coarse brrush regularly and enjOy it.
