We heard this good definition of Freedom this week: “1:, is you, being yourself.” Controller Saunders and the Toronto City Council apparently are not satisfied with the whitewash job car- ried out by the special committee of York County Coun- cil appointed to investigate the affairs of the Toronto and York Roads Commission. Sufficient evidence has been brought out to date to warrant a thorough clean up of the whole outfit, and if York County Council fell down on the job we’ re glad to see the City Council taking up the task. We hope the City Council goes ahead and has an investigation which will mean something and result in an overhauling of this large spending body which has been going “high, wide and handsome" for many years. Once more York County Council has added an argument to those who say county councils should be abolished. The announcement that Tea and Coffee are now added to the list of rationed goods in Canada emphasizes once again that changes must be brought about in our way of living. We think the people of Canada welcome this new ration order, and it sort of makes us feel good to know that in this at least we are out-rationing our cousins in the British Isles. It sort of helps our war spirit to know that we are going to get along on less Tea and Coffee than the Britishers. That it was coming to Tea and Coffee rationing has been evident for some time and that there has not been any hoarding is too much to expect. However most people would not trade a clear conscience for the dubious enjoyment the hoarder will get from a few extra cups of tea or coffee. This new rationing order will help bring home to all the seriousness of the war situâ€" ation. It may help dispel that silly idea that we can’t loose the war, and drive home the fact that we can loose the war, in fact have been losing it for some time. We’re going to Win it, but it’s going to take a lot more sacri- fice on the part of everyone. Before victory is ours we will know the true significance of Churchill’s “blood, toil, sweat and tears.” The suggestion has been made that in every commun- ity an organization be formed to make surprise Visits to inspect pantries and cellar's in a campaign to drive the hoarder out into the open. The hoarder when thus found and exposed should be ostracized by the people of the community. The hoarder is an enemy of the country, and a selfish fifthâ€"columnist who deserves no better fate than such people receive in the enemy countries. We don’t know any hoarders in this or any other community but we are told there are such and we certainly favor harsh measures in dealing with them. Despite gasoline rationing, a rubber shortage and higher income taxes there was a traffic jam on Yonge Street last week-end such as has not been seen in years. Some say they save their gas all week to go on the week- end: Others explained the situation by pointing out that it was Civic Holiday and tired workers and their families just had to get to the country. The best explanation we heard was that people are just going to keep on living as they like just as long as they can and that nothing short of rationing is any good in any conservation cam- paign in a democracy. The action of the Mayor of Toronto in offering the help of civic employees to harvest crops was a splendid gesture which will be appreciated by rural Ontario. A drive through the country and a few chats with farm friends here and there is all that is needed to show that many farmers are going through hard and trying times. Harvesting a heavy crop short handed is about as tough a job as we can see around these parts. Last Saturday War Savings Certificates went on sale at the counters of all chartered banks and at all Post Off- ices. Citizens are now able to walk up to the wicket, lay down their money and walk out with a War Savings Cer- tificate. This speeds up the savings transaction over the old method of mailing the stamps or money to Ottawa and waiting several days for the certificate. This over- the-counter sale of Certificates has been greeted with gen- eral approval. Established 1878 $dvertising Rates on Application. Next Wednesday the Richmond Hill Lions’ Club makes its one big appeal to the people of this district for finanâ€" cial support of its widespread community welfare and war work. Every day in the year the local service club is on the alert, ever ready to lend a helping hand where help is needed. It may be glasses for a needy child, an operation which parents cannot afford, or it may be sup- plying milk and cod liver oil to undernourished children. It may be the call from overseas of parentless children suf- fering pain and hardship and needing the clothing and comforts your dollars can supply. Whenever and wher- ever there is need, the Lions stand ready to help. That they may continue to carry on their great work they ask for your generous support of the Street Dance which will be held next Wednesday. This is everyone’s opportunity to help the Lions help all who need helping. Lions ask no questions as to creed, color or religion. They extend a helping hand wherever it is needed. We feel sure that as in the past their annual appeal will be rewarded with a generous response. AN INDEPENDENT WEEKLY PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY AT RICHMOND HILL THE LIBERAL PRINTING 00., LTD. J.

DRIVE OUT THE HOARDERS WHITEWASH DIDN’T STICK CARS JAM YONGE HELPING THE FARMER “THE LIBERAL” THIS IS FREEDOM MORE RATIONING TO HELP OTHERS STREET TELEPHONE 9 His real adventure began when he went north “down” the Peace River to Great Bear Lake. The boat was damaged on the trip and he took a job with a northern transportation company, handling thousands of tons of freight. Born at Brantford, Ont, Moyle went west as a youngster with his parents. Leaving the University of Alberta after a year of study, he spent the summer of 1932 prospech ing in Northern EC. He “worked?" lonely, isolated regions, travelling with pack horses. Moving freight up in that country spells untoldl hardship, calls for in-' genuity and invention. Broken by infrequent trips “outside," Moyle subsequently worked in various ca- pacities â€" freight handler, traffic manager, paymaster‘ m remote out- posts such as Fort Resolution, Tuki- yoktuk, Fort Vermilli'on. He saw to the delivery of goods by dog-teams, tractor train, plane, canoe and pack horses. MD. 2, has convinced him different- ly. Moyle is going into the Royal Canadian Army Service Corps, which will make excellent use of his ex- perience. He will retain his lieu- tenancy which he obtained in the 1‘5th C‘anadian Light Horse follow- ing C.O.T.C. studies at the Univers- ity of Alberta more man ten years ago. Handling freight under the most adverse condlitions 'â€" temperature often 50 below and facilities inad'e- quateâ€"Will stand him in good stead as a trans-port man: with the serv- ice corps. The tougher the going, the more Moyle is going to like it. While he never “took off" or land!- ed a plane, Moyle often took over the controls in the air and guided bush pilots over country where “ev- ery little lake looks the same." In the summer of 1941, scientists working in Connecticut and Alabama demonstrated the presence of the virus of poliomy‘elitis in mixed c01- lections of blow flies, house flies, and certain other species of flies taken in two localities where cases of infantile paralysis had occurred. This fact adds emphasis to the im- portance of fly control. Flies_breed in garbage, manure, and other ani- mal matter, and thus can be most effectively controlled by properly treating and disposing of such ma- terials. Measures should; be taken to ex- clude flies from dwellings, and to protect foodstufis from those that may gain entrance. The flies should be destroyed promptly. Leaflets containing further details on fly control may be obtainedv by writing to Publicity and Extension Division, Dominion Department of Agricul- ture, Ottawa. Things have changed. There is more fighting money than there are people fighting about money. “Ten years of thrill packed adven- ture in Canada’s far northwest is behind; Frederick Francis Moyle, 31, of Didsbury, Alta., who stepped into the army recruiting office on Ade- laide Street West the other day. Moyle thought his work on the fringe of the Arctic would mean little or nothing as far as army qualifications are concerned. But Captain N. J. MacCrimmon, M.!C., in charge of recruiting for area No. 1 Moyle offered his services to the army when the war began but was told that his regiment was not re- cruiting. He went back north and came outAto try his luck again now. He hopes to see service on the west coast or Arctic regions and be- Flies, especially the common houSe fly, are a menace to health, particu- larly during the summer and au- tumn. The part the house fly plays in spreading dangerous diseases such as infantile diarrhoea, typhoid, and tuberculosis is fairly well known. Flies have long been suspected «is possible carriers of infantile paral- ysis (poliomyelitis), say officials of the Division of Entomology, Domin- ion Department of Agriculture. Many a man who is regarded as half-cracked is usually what he is cracked up to be. Lieut. F. F.

RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO Is A Nephew Of Miss Anna Moyle Of Richmond Hill “I’d like to get some of my budâ€" dies into the service corps with me,” Moyle said. “These fellows are used to making the most of makeshift conditions and in the bush you learn to do things for yourself.” lieves that if he can find a useful spot in the army there are many other . experienced frontiersmen whose services. will prove valuable. Was- it cold back where Moyle came from? On Cameron Bay, on the east shore of Great Slave Lake, the mercury once dropped to 76 dur- ing one of his visits.
