Editor, The Liberal, Richmond Hill Sirzâ€" _ It seems to be the popular pastime in some quarters to damn Henry Ford) and‘ all his products, let the chi-p5 fall where they may. This let- ter is not written to defend Mr. Ford's regrettable decision re the Rolls-Royce engines, nor to call at- tention to the injustice that is being done to the Ford Motor Company of Canada, its employees, dealers, and in turn their employees, ‘by the pre- sent clamor, but it is written to take issue with the vicious editorial on Henry Ford, which appeared in the Globe & Mail, and the wild state- ments made by M. P. Coldlwell in the House of Commons. who was properly answered by Minister of Munitions, Hon. 'C._D. Howe. “an... ...... , -_ , , As a Canadian who was for some years employed by the Ford Motor Company of Detroit, and) knew some- thing of the workings of its Educaâ€" tional or Welfare Dept, I may be in a better position to speak of Mr. Fordi’s humanitarian record than an editorial writer of the Globe & Mail, or C. C. F. Coldwell, for judging by his rantings, as printed’ in the daily: press, he probably gleaned some of his misimformation from the public- ity department of John L. Lewis. Mr. Coldrwell is quoted as stating that Mr. Ford| ‘sucks the life blood from his employees and again throws them into the gutter." We presume he infers that he got them from the gutter. In some cases that was and is true. And he made deâ€" cent citizens of them by paying them high wages and' demanding that they give a fair return for their money in labor. Mr. Ford has never had‘ any patience with professional char- ity, as it is known, and can those of us who have seen what “relief” has done to the initiative of some of its recipients in our own country during the past few years deny that he may not_be right. In any organ- ization as huge as the Ford Motor Company of Detroit there are bound to be some tough jobs, and‘ rules and regulations necessarily must be strict. But it was my experience that the Fond Company of Detroit did not discharge any employee un- til every effort had' been made to fit the square pegs into the round holesâ€"in other words, if they were not successful in one department they were tried in another. They were as likely to hire an exâ€"con-vict as a college man, as they were in- terested in his future possibilities and] not his past. Mr. Coldswell ap- parently has not read of the thou- sands of boys that Mr. Ford has taken off the streets during the past few years and placed them in camps, where they are taught to be self- sustaining citizens. If space permits I should like to give the details of one of the many cases of Ford’s aiding- his employees, with which I was familiar. A Can- adian from Toronto, who had! been employed ‘by Ford of Detroit for a- bout a year was taken ill of pneu- ‘monia. Fund-s were low. During the first week of illness' a repre- sentative of the Ford Welfare Dept. called at his home and assured his1 wife she need not worry about mOney matters. Every week for eight weeks (at which time the employee returned to work) a check for his full wages was brought to his home, and he was never asked to pay back one cent of it during the rest of the time he was employed there. He was a factory wonker at a daily wage and not a salaried employee. There was no press agent or photoâ€" grapher on hand; when the checks were delivered. When Henry Ford inaugurated the $5 per day wage scale in Detroit his hompetitors claimed! that it was a plan that could never be carried out ‘â€"a mans meeting of 500 Socialists Letters From lhe People COUNCILLOR R.

Can any thinking person deny that Ford‘ has been responsible for keeping the price of automobiles within the range of the wage-earner’s pocketbook, and also for maintaining the high rate of wages that is being paid' today in American auto factories? We ane not condoning Mr. Ford’s decision re the Rolls-Royce engines â€"he no doubt had convictions with which some of us may not alwafis agree. We doubt very much if t e whole story has been told. but it looks today as if he has missed! a wonderful opportunity.

Wee MAPLE THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HIL‘L, ONTARIO Bennett Hurls Superb Ball To Win From Barrie Displaying more power with the willow than has been the case in other games to date, Charlie Ryan’s ball-tossers eked out a close deci- sion at the local park on Tuesday evening against the strong Barrie aggregation. After a somewhat shaky start the locals settled down- and gave Bennett plenty of support in the field and at bat. Although outhit by 8â€"7 the Hill boys were able to bunch their hits to score a 4â€"3 victory. In their half of the first innings Barrie pushed two men across the plate while the locals managed to get one across. In the second inning Barrie went down in order. In the Hill half of the inning Dyte was the only man to get on- base but died on second. Barrie made a strong bid- to lengthen their lead in the third but with two men on ‘base the next batter fannedfi. In their half of the canto Rflchmond Hi1] took the lead on runs by Saul and Bennett. From the third inning to the end the game developed into a pitcher‘s battle with the Hill boys scoring one in the fourth and Barrie one in the sixth. The ‘best feature from the local’s angle was the pitching performance of Bennett who , out-steadied the Barrie hurler throughout, not issu- ing a pass: All the rest of the team played heads-up ball. For Barrie Norris and‘ Gracey were the pick at bat with their centre fielder pulling off several sensation- al catches that looked like sure hits. “Snow White”, on first base also played errorless ball for the visitors. On Saturday evening of this week the strong Oshawa Generals will be here to play a game with Richmond Hill. Having met previously these tw0 teams are evenly matched and the local .ball fiends would be well advised to visit the ball park on Saturday, July 6th and see the classy motor city team.

The regular monthly meeting of Markham Township council was held at Unionville Monday afternoon, Reeve Rennie presiding and all the members present. Residents of the roadIWay known as the Kozak lane just east of Richmond Hill petitionâ€" ed the council for improvement of their road. They asked that it be graded, gravelled and one bridge constructed. Council took no action on the request. Building Inspector Craig reported that building permits for June to- talled $15,000 made up of one resi- denice on Bayview Avenue. Relief for June hit a new low at $180.67. It was reported that the gravel: contract for the year had been let to Hoover and= Roberts at the rate‘ of 31.22%» cents per yard delivered anywhere in the township. There was considerable discussion re the application for perm-it for re- building of the Brillinger barn just south of Richmond Hill. Decision was against issuing of permit for rebuilding the structure. The treasurer was authorized to pay Roy Brillinger the sum of 5625' for right of way expropriated at the Gormley corner of-the fourth con- cession.
