Your kind and loving ways, It helps to {bear a (bitter loss, Since you have gone away. And; when We too are ‘called dear Dad, To break life’s fnagile chain, What greater joy could we expect, Than all to meet again; God bless you dear Dad' Till we meet again. â€"Alrways lovingly remembered by Jacques, Violet, Dick, Willie and Johnnie. a kind amf devoted husband and a wonderful Dad, Dirk Schurman, who passed away very suddenly May 28, 1934. I lost a dear husband with a heart of gold, He was more to me than‘ wealth un- told, The sorrow I feel I cannot explain, The ache in my heart will always remain. â€"Too clearly loved and sadly missedl to ever lbe forgotten by his loving wife. Dear Dad we still remember, TREES PLANTED IN VILLAGE Twenty 12â€"foot trees, presented to the Richmond Hill Horticultural So- ciety by the Men of Trees Associa- tion, were planted on the village streets this week.

I am doing a thing I have never done 'before, namely, using the colâ€" umns of your valuable paper to reg- ister a protest at the action of our council in letting a_ contract in this village to a firm of Italian contract- ors. Let me first state I do not doubt the loyalty of our council in this matter but I do question the wisdom of it with the state of af- fairs as they face us today. Look for a moment at the picture which confronts us. We are at war with Germany, with which Italy has ab- lied herself and who is daily threat- ening to deciare war on our Empire, (the same Empire who went to her aid in the last Great War) and then- our council take this action which I am sure has shocked} a great many of our citizens. I will likely be as- sailed: as a 'busy body who pokes his nose in other people"s business 'but I think my action is justified. As one who served] in the last war and with another member of my family who went to Italy to help defend her, I am registering a strong protest in this matter, and I would As one who served! in the last war and with another member of my family who went to Italy to help defend her, I am registering a strong protest in this matter, and I would ask the people of Richmond Hill to think this matter over very care- fully and I am sure they too will see the serious side of this: question as I do. Thank you for your coul‘t- esy in this matter. Eddtor, The Liberal Dear Sir:â€" ARTHUR C.
