g Buy War Savings stamps ‘Regu‘ra'ny‘; PEOPLE ARE LIKE THAT Hon. W. P. Mulock, Member for North York, speak- ing in support of a “yes” vote in Schomberg last week related a very interesting experience. He recalled that speakng at Kettleby almost two years before the outâ€" break of the war he had advocated increased appropria- tion for National Defence. He received a letter from a constituent‘criticizing him for being a war-monger. Re- cently he received a letter from the same constituent crit- icizing the government for not having been better pre- pared for war. People are like that. Do you listen to Andy Clarke’s “Neighbourly News” broadcast every Sunday morning at 10.05 a.m.? It may be a little early in the morning, nevertheless listening to him is an excellent habit in that when he’s finished you have just about the right amount of time to get ready and at- tend church service. Then too it’s a homey and whole- some review of the happenings “in that important part of Ontario which lies outside the cities”. Listen in next Sunday and we think you will find it refreshing. The program has proven popular in the cities as well as in the country. Most of the people in the city come from little places or farms, and they are intensely inter- ested in the doings of the folks back home. The incident may not be about your home town, but it is about the same kind of a place where the same kind of people live. In support of this worthy work a Tag Day will be conducted in Richmond Hill next Saturday, May 2nd, and we commend this worthy cause to your‘ generous consid- eration. City folks take a particular delight in rubbing it in about the hicks living in the sticks. Do you realize they are just jealous? Every man in the city has a secret ambition to make enough money to buy a little place in the country, but too many of them will be chained to the hot city pavement until they die. And do you know where they will be buried? Back in the old country cemetery, it the neighborhood where they were born, but left be- came they thought nothing ever happens there. Over half of the money required to maintain the ser- vices provided by The Institute comes from the public in the way of subscriptions or in response to public appeals. ‘Metropolitan newspapers may print the big news of the world and the war, but real folks still reach for the “Home Paper” which gives the intimate news f people in the home community. That’s what Andy Cla e’s pro- gram does too. It’s definitely not high-brow but it is full of human interest. It is the business of The Canadian National Institute for the Blind to find employment for blind people who are employable; to provide library service for those who read Braille or listen to Talking-books; to give home- fieaching in Braille, typing and handicrafts to newly-blind- ed adults; to. see that medical or surgical treatment is provided for those whose vision may improve; to estab- lish and maintain residences; to carry on social service wcrk; to sell the products of blind homeworkers; and to establish blind men and women in small business oppor- tunities. For over twentyâ€"four years The Institute has been doing all these things. It is making such a fair job of it that young executives of organizations for the blind in the United States are sent to Toronto to study Canadian methods. There are over twelve thousand, five hundred blind men and women listed witfi The Canadian National Insti- tute for the Blind. V The Simple fact is tHat toi this date we have lost the war. True none of us think we will not win, but we must face the fact that so far we have been losing. SO‘far people have approved of restrictions for others but resented them for themselves. This type of thinking must go. We as citizens must be prepared to adjust our way of living to conform to an all-out war effort. There are some rough roads ahead and we might just as well start bracing our feet now. It’s the only road to Victory. It isn’t a matter of conscription for military service. That’s only one phase of the problem. In this war may one is going to feel the jolts. To attain Victory we are going to go from a peace to a war footing for every man, woman and child. Established 1878 $dvartising Rates on Application. In the country as a whole the “yes” majority was substantial if not impressive. Quebec results were dis- appointing but if it does nothing else it presents in clear outline the difficult problem which faces the national adâ€" ministration. There is a definite difference of outlook in French Canada which presents a major national problem. The number of “No” votes even in Ontario was somewhat surprising, and these added to the “stay-at-home” votes which must largely be interpreted as “no” votes adds .up to thought-provoking figures. The Plebiscite over, the average citizen now asks 'What Next?” We don’t know and make no claims to any inside information but our guess is that we as a people have some rude jolts ahead. Our way of life which has been having some minor adjustments must have some major adjustments and quickly before we lose the war. Congratulations to the Citizens of Richmond Hill and the riding of North York on the vote polled Monday. Here the voters went to the polls in large and representative numbers and registered an overwhelming “yes” verdict, and this fine performance was typical of most York County Communities.

Warren McBride, Fort Garry Horse, England, writes the family here of a pleasant visit to Scotland recently among friends wno show the greatest kindness. Warren says the civilians in Scotland think the Can- adian soldier is “O.K.” “When one is riding on a bus or train, the Scotsman puts his hand in his pocket and draws out money for the Can- adian boys’ fare. I had money in my pocket but my 'nosts refused to let me use it. Every man in Scot- land appears to be host to Canadian boys." ‘ Mr. and Mrs. Herb Wellesley‘and family visited at Mr. Arthur Well- esley’s on Sunday. The removal by death from our village of John Dennison, 90 years of age. who died recently at Toron- to, makes another break in the list of older residents. Mr. Dennison lived his life in York County, the greater part of that In Vaughan and King- Townships. From Eversley he moved to King and‘ after his wife’s death, resided with his son Herman. A builder by trade, he kept up a lively interest in local affairs until his advancing years closed rapidly in upon him. He was of a kindly nature and excellent company for a dreary day. His sense of humor and friendly nature made him many friends. We recall him at his best in this capacity when he and Mal- colm Mitchell were inseparaible and King Township District News THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO Messrs. Wm.

Davis marks the last of the Johnston family, natives of King- horn, the brother James L. Johnston of Ottawa, having~ passed’ away only recently. Mrs. Davis was born 93 years ago, the daughter of the late David Johnston, on the fifth con- cession, near Kinghorn. Her early education waé received at SS. 23, King, where later she taught for a time. In 1874 Margaret Johnston married E. J. Davis, already a cap- axble partner in his father’s 'business, the Lowell Tannery of A. Davis and Son. They lived in the house now owned by Ernest Hollinshead. Five sons and two daughters were born and raised here, until 1903, when 'the tannery was burned. Hon. E. The passing of Mrs. E. J.

J. and Mrs. Davis moved to Newâ€" msarket where the remainder of her life was spent. And so it would seem her passing creates another broken link in the family circle of Kinghom f-ol'ks.
