Christian Love Only Can End Wars, Martin Tells Village “May this Remembrance Day ser- vice help 'us to realize that wars will end only when we have learned to love one another and may the Great Spirit who rules the universe guide us and teach us to do unto others as we would have them do unto us" Such were the concluding words of the stirring address delivered by Brigadier O. M. Martin, V.D. before the village war memorial last Sunday to more than 1,000 people. “On this day our thoughts go back to those comrades .who were with us in the mud and filth of the trenches of Belgium and France, and of those who until a few months ago fought not only in France and Bel- gium, but in Holland, Africa, Sicily and Italy whose numbers were up and who are with us no longer. They died that we might live. “This community played an out- standing part in both first and secâ€" ond world wars. and many of your sons have paid the Supreme sacrifice. My heart goes out to the mothers. Wives and sweethearts whose loved ones lie buried in far off fields be- cause they believed in an ideal. Not many of your homes have been left untouched, and this is a trying day for many of you. f‘Your courage in turning out to this Remembrance Day service in spite of your sorrow is an indica- tion of your strength as a people, of the strength of the Canadian people, and without such strength no nation can long survive. “In this Day of Remembrance when we gather to pay tribute to those who have died for us and for our ideals we must not, however, forget the living who, because of the ravages of war, are broken in spirit, mind and body and who need care has left them unable to compete with their fellow man in the struggle to live, and they must have our help. all of it we can give them. “Active fighting in this war is not long over, and yet already we have the forgotten man. Do not let our army of 25,000 boys now in Germ- any as an occupation force, and who must remain in Germany for some considerable time under difficult conditions, become an army of for- gotten men. The war is not over for them so write to them and reâ€" member that thcy are still serving so that we may continue to enjoy the privilege of life in a free country." Many wreaths were placed by re- latives and friends of boys who have paid the Supreme Sacrifice in this last war. Acclamation Seen For Village Council Reeve Bill Neal and members of the Richmond Hill municipal council will be elected this year end by ac- clamation so far as present indica- tions go. All have agreed to ac- cept office again, and no new com- ers have been so far mentioned. Nomination will .be held November 23rd and elections on Monday, De- cember 3rd. In Vaughan and Markham townâ€" ships, however, contests are prom- ised. Bert Phelps of May Avenue.

M gunnybrooke Hospital Room Will Be- Equipped By Children Of The Village As most parents are aware our public school boys and girls are at present selling Christmas cards. IThere may be some who are inquir- ing the reason therefore and I feel that the public who during the war supported so generously cur many prOJects. are entitled to an exolana- tion. These cards were ordered last spring when the war was still being waged and when victory appeared remote. We wished to continue the work which we had started. Our list of soldiers’ names was growing larger and larger. Our last ship- ment of parcels cost over $400 and we had been sending several parcels to each soldier per year. Also we were contributing to various other worthwhile causes as well. In September the question of what to do on Hallowe’en and the matter of Christmas card sales came up at one of our staff meetings. One of .our teachers suggested that our bank balance in the School War Fund to- gether with what we could make from collecting pennies on Hallo- we’en as well as the sale of Christ- mas cards 'would probably enable us to make a contribution which would equip one room at the new Sunny- brook hospital for soldiers. Suffice to say the children and the staff were in favour of the plan and so the work is being carried on which we hope meets with your approval. It is not our present intention to have any further sale of Christmas cards in the years to come. Also we are wondering whether or not to carry on with the penny collec- tion on Hallowe'en. Candy will prob- ably ibe. scarce for a year or more and it is my opinion that the work and motive is of benefit to the child. ren themselves. We should be glad to hear the opinion of the parents with regard to this matter. _ Further I feel it very necessary to express my sincere thanks, and {that of your teaching staff, to all , PHONE CAPITOL THEATRE ’ the people of our school sectio‘h who through the long years of the war continued to support our every pro- jeet. I am well aware of the incon-' venience caused you in those trying times, by the constant ringing; of your door bell and the many calls for contributions of time and money. Your co-operation was very grati- fying and if continued in times of peace augurs well for success of and improvement in our school generally. You are ‘rcbably aware, that this is “Educ t on Week”. Our contribu- ticn in this regard will be to have a parents’ day sometime in the early s rm when are t -1- D - -t enteringteams this year. p g p n S W] A e “121:: which Will most likely be brought up to see their children at work. you will be given the opportunity to discuss school problems with the teachers concerned. This should lead to a better understanding of the problems in the home and the school. I trust a sufficient number of par- ents will show interest in this to make it worth while. Walter Scott. Victory loan Here 0ver By $20,000 Richmond Hill exceeded its quota for the Victory loan by $20,000, the total subscriptions being $195,000 and the quota for the village being $175,000. “We are well satisfied," said Bill Neal, reeve, and his opinion was echoed by W. W. A. Trench and J. R. Herrington, associated with the reeve in the campaign. “From every standpoint the loan was an excellent investment, and will help the gov- ernment bring the boys overseas home more speedin as well as care for those who require hospitaliza- tion. It will also aid substantially in restoring post war trade to preâ€" war levels." ’ Yonge at 1 MO. 2172 Castlefield 300 Seats All Evening 25c. Friday and Saturday, CLAUDET’I‘E COLBERT.

A few weeks a’ o a fire was started in the arena that might have threatened the destruction of that building if it had not been extinguished. Hal- lowe'en destruction of propeity was more general. The list of articles removed from the homes of owners, some of the art'clcs smashed and otherwise daniagul, represents unnecessary loss and shouldn't be “laughed off". Many things that may incon- venience or cause discomfort. to older people may be ascribed to the high spirits of youth, but the attacks made on private property here during the past few weeks are not of such classification. It is a harsh but inescapable fact that such acts put the perpetratâ€" ors in the class of law breikers. Prosecutions would involve the removal to police custody of the youths charged, and their appear- ance before a police magistrate» who could demand guarantees of their future good behavior or, in his discretion, send them to re- form schools. And the right to insist on such procedure is in the hands of anyone who has suff- ered loss as a result of the misâ€" conduct of such youths. The control of youth rests pri- marily with parents, but if that Challenge To local Box Lacrosse Team team of a few years ago are very with the Richmond Hill team.

The counsel of one youth to another is probably all that would be necessary to check much annoying youthful exuberance. Arena Gives Council Plenty Of Headaches Much speculation over the hockey situation in the Village has arisen over the Village Council’s decision to give the Richmond Hill teams one niglzt a; week for practising; Last year every available night was taken with three nights skating and the Toronto Hockey League using it on Tuesday nights (three teams are scheduled to play in this league this year), Richmond Hill and District League on Thursday night and the Jr. O.H.A. team on Friday. If all these organizations are operating; in itlie arena this year another night will. have to be added to the: week to accommodate them. One sugges- tion is to drop Saturday night skat- ing and allow the Jr. O.H.A. team, the use of the Arena that night for their games. Saturday night is known as hockey night in this sec- tion and why not make it kll'llwni so in Richmond Hill‘{ at this meeting will be the advisaâ€" bility of making it purely local with no imports from Toronto. Last Thursday night Hill Minor hockey teams had their first practice of the season at the Icelandia Arena in Toronto. Over-30 boys attended and were given at real work-out by Mr. Nighswander the coach. It has been definitely decid- ed that two teams will .be entered. in the T.H.L., minor-midget; and' minor-bantmm.. !

They are allowed to play two games in :t. and then can drop back.-‘ Garage Enteredâ€" This Morning Thieves early this morning enter- ed the Cities Service Garage but to their disappointmeni: were unsuc- cessful in obtaining any merchand- ise. Entrance was gained by forc~ ing the back door. Apparently the would-be burglars were after cash as several cars are stored in the base- ment and none were moles-tied.

Richmond Hill Girls Promise To Outclass Even Mother Now In Making Grandest Apple Pie Apple pie such as even mother couldn't outclass is promised by the pupils of grades 7 and 8 in the pub- lic school when they have mastered the principles, or some of them. set down in their new domestic science course. The course is the outcome of a decision by the principal, Walter Scott, and has been approved by the school board. It will be in charge of Mrs. Frank Tate and Mrs. H. Hickson, and will consist at the out. set of one class per week. “It; will no doubt grow in popu« larity as time goes on," said Mrs. Hickson. Mothers of girls attending the school are most enthusiastic about the innovation. “The one thing about which a girl should know most is housekeeping," said a prominent Richmond Hill matron to The Libâ€" eral, “and that is the one thing about which most young brides know least. The proper and economic manage- ment of a home is certainly some- thing that should be taught in school. a» Churchmen Make spec-table and law ab'ding, and no! mem- We would suggest, therefore, to ADVERTISING IN THE LIBERAL GETS RESULTS A Thousand Calls A. E. Plewman, Secretary of the census comi‘hittee reports that With '30 per cent of the returns in that there is every indication that at least one thousand calls will have been made by the men of the \‘31‘10'VS churches. Tabulations have not yet been made as to the proportion of adherents to the various Faiths in the Richmond Hill area, but the num- l‘cr of people resident here will be a great surprise to many. Canvassers reported that almost without exception they had been ac- corded the most cordial reception. Most householders appeared to be awaiting their visit and were sin- ccrely pleased to know that they were being registered in the various church records. The very foggy weaâ€" ther on Monday night made it Very hard, if not impossible, for some can- vassers to complete their work. How- ever, iiiost calls were made on she- dule even if weather conditions “ere rather trying. Rev. C. B. Brethen and the Rev. W. F. Wrixon thanked the men for the splendid job they had done when they gathered at St. Mary's Parish Hall to make their returns. The Clergy felt that this had been a grand piece of community work and a demonstration of the great good fellowship which existed among the various congregations. The results of this work will become more apâ€" parent as the months go by. Refreshments were served by a group of ladies representative of the three congregations under the con- venorship of Mrs. Douglas Boyd. Ladies who assisted" Were: Mrs. C. B. Brethen, Mrs. Roy Herring'ton, Mrs. J. Beresford, Mrs. H. H. Mac- Kay, Mrs. N. J. Glass and Mrs. W. F. Wrixon.

At Holland Landing“ Holland Landing’s population turn- ed out a few nights ago to honor 46 returned servicemen and their f:iiii« ilies. After a dinner served by the lad- ies in the basement of the United Church and a tiibute paid by five clergy of the district, gold wrist watches were presented to each of the servicemen present. 0f the 46 watches, four were accepted by the families of those who (ll-3d in Ser- vice overseas. The expression of honor by the community started with formation of a Hollaan Landing welcome-home committee some months ago, its president. Aubrey Stephenson, said. But no such results were foreseen. “It just went out of our hands enâ€" tirely," he declared, commenting on the presence of some 350 residents. When the committee satrted col- lecting, he said, “the first contribu- tion was $25 and the second was $50. It all went like that and no- body is wealthy. We didii’t haVe anything to do with it, it’s just the wav we feel." The way Holland Landing people “felt” about their 46 servicemen fin- ally amounted to $800, and theprac- tical expression of honor resulted. One of the four women’s wrist watches among the 46 was presented to Mrs. Geo. Archibald Riley, form- erly Doris Evans, whose family has lived in Holland Landing for four generations. Since her husband's death in Belgium a year ago, Mrs. Riley. in the persons of four sons. Ronald. Lawrence, Earl and John, 12, 10, eight and seven years old, has continued the raising of the fiftl‘ generation of her famriy in Holland Landing. Son of’one of the first 10 Canada ians to receive the Militarv Medal when it was instituted in April 1911' Alex Deans also was presented with a watch. His father, Sam Deans. who was present, was awarded the decoration for rescue of a British officer under fire in an action at the Loos crater. Home Heating By Gas May Be Blessing F or This Village Residents of municipal‘ti‘es from. districts now served by the Consum- S'teele’s Corners to Richmond Hill were disappointed a few days ago when the annual meeting of the Conâ€" sumers’ Gas Co. was held without an announcement being made that the gas mains would be extended northward from Steele’s. “The company will undoubtedly i make further extensiOns to distribuâ€" ; tion plant when I comes,” said an official to The Libâ€" . oral, "but, as witlr all other compâ€" the right time anies, the scarcity of labor: and the ‘ tie-up of materials have been all im- portant factors. Territory.- north of our present lines won’t be over- looked. Many of the residEnts of suburban v ers Gas Co. have solved the home heating problem of recent years by the use of gas. The heating of en- tire houses by electricity is . still much too costly for the ordinary pocketbook“, Hydro officials admit. and they have no data as to when such a possibility may develop. “May be when we get atomic en- ergy in harness We will ‘be able to do something about it,” declared an engineer of the Ontario Hydro to The Liberal.
