In Monday’s voting Democracy is on trial. There is a pollâ€" ing booth in every polling division in Canada and all that is asked of the citizens is that they mark a ballot. Don’t let Democracy down, don’t let Canada down, don’t let your home community down. Don’t let apathy, prejudices or a soothing indifference prev-ent_us in Richmond Hill and every community in this County of York from meeting this challenge as true and loyal Canadians. A.R.P. MEETING TO-NIGHT AT 8 Let’s face the facts. Too often we hear: “I don’t think I’ll bother to vote, I’m busy that day.” “I don’t think I’ll vote, I don’t think a plebiscite is necessary.” “I won’t vote, I want to protest against the expense of the plebiscite.” “I won’t vote, it’s too much bother.” “I won’t vote unless someone comes after me.” “I won’t vote, I don’t want to get mixed up in this ’thing'.” Some sections of Canada will be strongly organized for a “No Vote”. It is therefore the Anglo-Saxon communities through- Canada that must create the national majority. This is the responsibility of a riding such as North York. This is the re: sponsibility of every voter in this community. May the voice of North York be heard next Monday with “Yes” majority that will resound throughout all Canada. Vote on Monday, April 27th â€" and Vote “YES”. Citizens of York County, AWAKE'TO THE CHALLENGE AND THE DANGER OF THE HOUR. Think of France, Nor- way, Holland. Belgium and the rest of an unprepared and inâ€" different world. A simple majority or the confidence that your community will register a “yes” majority will not do. The “yes” vote must be overwhelming if our war effort is to receive the momentum that our present peril demands. The Plebiscite is one of-the most momentous questions ever put before the Canadian people. The enemyâ€"a ruthless and powerful enemyâ€"is at our door. Are we going to tie the hands of the administration charged with the responsibility for the defence of our country and the winning of the war? Make no mistake about it, that’s what a “no” vote would do, and every vote not cast, is ultimately a “No Vote”. In the face of the known danger and activity that is detriâ€" mental to the war effort it is the duty of every citizen to vote. Volunteer workers are needed in every community. Get every voter in your community to vote and get him to vote “Yes”. This is no time to talk about the expense of holding the plebiscite. There is a decision involved in Monday’s voting which if it goes the wrong way will be far more costly than the expense of the plebiscite. RICHMOND HUJL, ONTARIO THURSDAY, APRIL 23rd, 1942 This is noti e to argue about the advisability of holding a plebiscite. Th‘ Plebiscite is a reality. The voting takes place next Monday. The simple question asked the voters of Canada in the plebiscite is this: The most important day of the coming week is Monday, April 27th, and the most important duty of every citizen of Canada on that date is to cast a vote. “Are you in favour of releasing the Gov- ernment from any obligation arising out of any past commitments restricting the methods of raising men for military serv- Ice?” Hon. W. P. Mulock, MP. for North York will speak on behalf of a. “Yes” vote in the Market Hall, Schomfberg‘ Friday evening. The meeting is sponsored by the “Vote Yes” Comâ€" mittee of the York County Veterans. Vellore Junior Farmers and Junior Institute Clubs held their first church service in the United Church, Maple, on Sunday evening, April 19. The service was a success thrOugh- out. A large crowd turned out to fill the church and to support the juniors.

This is the second group of the York County Junior Farmers’ Asso- ciation to hold church services, Unâ€" ionville Junior Farmers having held two during- the winter months. They are proving very popular and it is hoped they will be continued. The collection in excess of the average loos-e collection for the reg ular church service was donated to the Mobile Canteen Fund. The sum sent forward was $20.22. The United Church minister, Rev. Fockler gave an address suitable to the occasion, and wias assisted in the service by Rev. Bonan of the Presbyterian Church.

Will those who have pyjamas, etc. out belonging to the Red Cross please have same finished and hand- ed in by May 6th at the work room. There have been several who have suggested that they were going to donate a few small articles. The committee in charge would appreci- ate these small gifts any time. The Red Cross are planning on having a tea at Mrs. Reid Brum- well’s about the middle of May! There will also be a showing of art- icles made up to the present time. Therefore the committee are asking for these articles so they can have a little time to arrange things for the best showing. There were 39 present at the First Aid Corp lesson on Monday night with 34 signing up for the books. We are very sorry our doctor was unable to be with us, but Messrs. Nichols and Collins gave a full evâ€" ening on bed making for a fractured leg- and a person still under the ether. 'On Thursday evening the Ceme- tery Board met with the church board to discuss business matters, at which meeting Mr. Robert Hopper handed in his resignation as treas- urer of the cemetery board. Mr. Hopper has held this position for 18 years and only those who haye had anything to do aIOng this line know the time and trouble it takes. Mr. Robert Gee and Miss Bessie. Hager- man also handed in their resigna- tions. While these two have not been on the board as Tong as Mr. Hopper, they will be greatly missed just the same. gm“)- -n.n-«-< .1 .( --.«.u>.o.o.o-o-o-ucan-« -4».c-o-o-o-‘ a. -o-o-4.0-4-u.o-u- -.--u- -1_v-o-u-4I-U->.u.o.<“ '3 MONDAY & TUESDAY, APRIL 27, 28 “ ‘BAD MEN OF MISSOURI ” With DENNIS MORGAN, JANE VVYMAN â€"â€"â€" ALSO â€" “ DOWN IN SAN DIEGO ” With BONITA GRANVILLE, RAY McDONALD N E‘VSâ€"-MON., TUES.
