From our Issue of August 11, 1910 ~ After thirty-eight years, Charles McBeth and his sister returned to Richmond Hill last Monday and spent the day viewing old landmarks and renewing acquaintances with their friends of former days. _The McBeth family owned the property now occupied by Mr. Ashford Wright and carried on there a carriage and wagon manufacturing business. Mr. Charles McBeth is now a resident‘ of Chicago. market on Tuesday. The ceremony was performed by Rev. John Gard- ner, brother of the groom, at the residence of the brlde’s father, Mr. Chas. Kirby. The Canadian Northern Railway is asking for 6,000 farm laborers: for the West, and will run excursions from Ontario on the 12th and 16th of August. Fare from an stations to Winnipeg $10.00. Free distribuâ€" tion west of Winnipeg up to Regina, Saskatoon, Waman and Swan River. The High and Public sch001 r00ms are being renovated by a coat of calcimine, the floors scrubbed and other improvements, to be ready for the re-opening. ' In view of the serious shortage of labour due to enlistment, war indus- try and other war contingencies, the Ontario Government has *set up an organization to enroll and make aâ€" vailable to farmers in every section of Southern Ontario as many extra helpers as possible. The great ma- jority of these helpers will be in- experienced in farm work but will be sent out because of their will- ingness to help save the farm crop. This Farm Labour problem has two phases: (1) discovery and en- rolment of suitable help and (2) location of the farmers who need the help â€" determining the kind of help they can use â€" how long it is needed â€"â€" and the wages the farmer is prepared to offer. Time will not permit a canvass but as will be seen in an advertise- ment appearing in this issue, forms on which to apply for farm help are being placed in the hands of all rural Pcstmasters, Reeves, Council‘ lors and Township Clerks so that they might be readily obtained by farmers needing help. BEWARE OF BAD CANADIANS “Beware, my friends, of those who drop Nazi or Fascist ideas into your ears, and particularly of those bad Canadians who dare argue, who dare pretend that the general mobiliza- tion'for the defence of our country is not a measure of extreme emerg- ency. One could think that those people who evidently do not love their country are better informed about the intentions of Germany and Italy than about the real interests of Canada and even the United States”-â€"Right Honourable Ernest Lapninte. Many of the industrial plants which have been built in Canada for Britâ€" ish and Canadian account over the last 10 months are already engaged in the production of ammunition ranging from artillery shells and their components, including antiâ€"air- craft shells. and a variety of heavy and field gun ammunition, down to rifle bullets. Canada is now produc- ing not merely shells but cartridge casesm fuses, primers and all 00m- ponents included in a round of am- munition. An especially applicable-prayer at this time of stress would be Cardinal Newman’s prayer, sowoften quoted. It was written while he still belong- ed to the Church of England and runs “May He support us all the day long, till the shades lengthen, and the evening comes, and the busy would is hushed, and the fever of life is over, and our work is done. Then in His mercy may He give us a safe lodging, and a holy rest and peace at the’last.” A DIFFERENT STORY Brantford Expositor: In African raids the planes of II Duce have also been faring badly: The situation is different from that of pouring niissles on Selassie’s defenseless nat- wes. i Farm Help THIRTY YEARS AGO CANADA AS EMPIRE ARSENAL NEWMAN’S PRAYER Sir Edmund Ironside, commander- in-chief of Home Forces, has sent to each “Ironside” a copy of the follow- ing saying by Oliver Cromwell: “Your danger is as you have seen; and truly I am sorry it is so great. But I wish it to cause no despon- dency, as ‘truly I think it will not; ‘ for we are British...It’s no longer disguting, but out instantly all you can. The City of London has abandoned the street car service in favor of busses. Markham village tax rate has been set at 27 mills, two mills lower than Markham Township tax rate has Leen set at the same figure as last year. Stouffville Veterans have passed a resolution oppOSing military ex- emption for certain religious sects. “If this country is not worth de- fending these people should not. be allowed to enjoy the privileges of a free country,” say the Vets. “How fast can a bear run?” asks the Huntsville Forester, and then cites the case .of a motOrist who claimed to have chased a bear on the road for 300 yards with the speedometer registering 34 miles an hour. There is still the more im- portant question as to how fast a man can run with a bear after him. King Township Council is taking steps to establish rubbish dumps in different; parts of the municipality. A man accused in a Minden court by his Wife asked the privilege of enlisting in the army. “I might as well be fighting the Germans as my wife,” he said. ' Constable Ben Gayman of ham Township had seventeen ers in court last week. Units of the Queen's York Rang ers will train in Aurora and New- market. Severalx citizens have suggested iécently that a curfew law should be instituted in Richmond Hill. Child- ren of tender years have been wandâ€" ering the streets at late hours and it is a wonder how little interest some"parents take in theif children. General 1‘ Col. Merrick, Officer COmmanding the Queen’s York Rangers, was noti- fied at camp this week that he had been appointed 0.0. of the recep- tion depot in London. This is the thirty-second 'officer of this regi- ment called to take staff appoint- ments in the Canadian Active Ser- vice Forge since the outbreak of hos- tilities. Lieut.-C01. John Hyde Ben- nett, Who commanded the regiment in 1932 is now in charge. From all reports thel‘e are a num- ber of fifth columnists in our neigh- boring town of Chesley, especially among the German population and they appear to. be showing their hand in a bra'zen way. Rev. J. Flem- ing, minister of Geneva Presbyterâ€" ian Church, has recently delivered strong and stirring sermons against the Nazi regime and is also presi- dent of the Chesley Legion. The proâ€"Nazi element evidently resents his stand and recently retaliated by stealing the Communion Silverware from his church and are said to have left a note stating that if he did not desist, more damage would be done. This incident was reported to The Leaderthis morning, and if true, the authorities should take immediate steps to clean up the mess and in- tern the guilty parties.â€"Tara Lead- er. - LONDON UNIVERSITY T9 TEACH CANADIANS The University of London has agreed to give every reasonable i’a- cility to Canadian soldiers in Eng- land of matriculation standing to pursue their work by correspondence, according to Robert England, M.C. M.A., overseas director of the Can- adian Legion War Services education division. All those who desire to matriculate will be considered elig- ible for the special entranCe exam- ination by the University. *ar t is in full swing GREAT SAYING! News & VieWS[ Letters From Ihe People Mark- speed- It should not take longer than thirty minutes to reach the city limits by radial, seeing that the d15- tance is less than ten miles. The fare should not be more than fifteen cents single, with a return rate of twentyâ€"five cents. Many years ago, when Richmond Hill was Only half as large, the fare was thirty cents return. This summer a large number of new houses have been built in Rich- mond Hill. If the radial service be- tween here and Toronto were speed- ed up and the fare lowered, many people living in‘ Toronto would be inclined to take up residence in this village. Editor, The Liberal, Dear Sir: Certainly the T.T.C. officials are going to maintain the present ex- cessive rate, because it is against their policy to encourage residents to seek homes outside the city. Any move for a lowering of rates and improvement of radial service must necessarily come from outside To- ronto. Why not start such a move in Richmond Hill? Nine French ships in the Canad- ian ports of Sydney, Halifax, Mon- treal and Vancouver have been re- quisitioned by Canada under the De- fence of Canada‘ ReguIations. Au- thority to dispose of these ships and their cargoes and any other ships that may be later requisitioned was granted by Order-in-Councfl.
