EVIDENCES OF VILLAGE GROWTH Although the life of the village flows smoothly along day by day, there are usually certain undercurrents, someâ€" times-weakand at other times quite unworthy. that may eveiitiially affect the community. Undercurrents suggest- ing growthare at present most pronounced. A start has been made on the building of 25 new homes: a gentleman who prOposes to erect tour stores on the site of the old Rustic Inn and to open offices here as a solicitor and hair istcr has becomea resident along with his family; two press photographers qualified to meet the exacting techâ€" nical requirements of the Toronto daily newspapers have already cammenced business here in home portraiture and other-forms of picture making and they are looking about for quarters that will be suitable as a studio; the village council is inclined to take a popular vote this year on the question of a sewage system; plans for improved trans- portation to Toronto are taking shape with the widening of Yonge St. south of the village. And one could probably discover a number of other trends, too, pointing in the general direction of community development. 1'..._It’.iS'well that there should be such evidence. Rich- ‘mofid Hillhas been and is content to remain the finest residential village in the Dominion, but residents realize that rio‘commu'nity can stand still. It must either go for-- ward or lose ground. Progress is possible without the sacrifice-of any of the things that make residence here so desirable." Growth can be selective. We can pick the type of new industries and businesses we wish to encour- ' age, and in such control we can find adequate protection ' for all our interests. New municipal undertakings. such as a sewage’ system. will create new munic1pal obl1gat10ns. . and a few more taxpayers to help discharge such obligas tions will, of course, be welcomed by the present taxpayers.

Announcement is made in this issue of the Ontario championship Highland games to .be held at Woodbridge August 5th when, as the sponsors of the big event prom- "ise, “ancient customs dear to the hearts of all familiar With Scotland will highlight the day.” 4 The glories of Scotland never grow old._ Nor do her sons and daughters throughout the world ever fail to up- hold her traditions. Lads and lassies in far off Africa and Australia love to get together and hear Scotch music, play Scotch games and lay claim to the link that binds them to the land of their forebears just as much as do their breth- ren in Canada. ‘ . It has been never possible to say, so far as the his- torical records show, that a Scottish event failed for want 'of' attendance, enthusiasm or buoyancy of spirit, and even persons who are not privileged to call themselves Scottish ,fin-d- in Scottish picnics, outings and concerts something that lightens the spirit and chases dull care away.

When the North Yonge St. radial revenue commenced some years ago to show appreciable increases, one reason pften advanced for the climb was that more people were goingtobusihess and to jobs in war plants. However, the making of munitions and other war work has ended, and yet radial revenue grows. For the first five months of thi‘s year receipts have increased 5.53 per cent over the 'game. period of 1945, and the figures. for the most recent month reported, May, show an increase of 9.14 per cent. ‘ JAE-is. generally acknowledged that feWer people are going‘rtoeemployment in other communities than was the case‘m‘r the'War, years, but this factor may be largely neg- ligiblig‘gin much as those who are going to the city daily are aging. the radials rather than their own cars, one rea- on olidoubt being that in comparison with pre-war years here, are fewer cars in condition for the road. I -However, it cannot be safely assumed that when new cars are, released fewer passengers will travel by radia‘. and more by private conveyance“ particularly if the public transportation system is improved in the meantime. To- ronto residents who own cars do not use them daily to go back and forth to business, and there should be no reason riser 1939 .in iAmOuntpm'dtop/am employee; . . . . . .' .

THE SCHOOL ADDITION DELAYED Parents and thc tcaching staff of thc Richmond ll'l£ public school had hole that thi- opcning of school this Autumn would sec an enlargement to the present buildâ€" ing. but ilicy will have to dcfcr their hope for probably another school tcrm. The dclny cannot be helped, Tl'e school board has done everything possible to try to haxc 2. tour room addition erected at a cost not to exceed $81).â€" (t’oi). For a time the undertaking seemed assured. 'lhc municipal board approval was obtained and a contract was awarded. But lhc contractor apparently found that lie ups and downs of tho building industry wore >nch tli:.1 hc could not with rcasonablc certainty go zihcad. and >‘i lvc withdrew his offer. The work could. of course. be done, but the prices quoted to the board by other contractors are in excess of Slut).000. and. very wisely, the trustees have decided to get along without the annex until building prices are more normal. The children will not suffer. Another room can be made available in the Municipal Hall as a class room. :1an doubtless other accommodation can be temporarily arranged for should it be badly needed. The school board to be congratulated for weighing the prOs and cons and keeping an eye on the tax rate. A period of economic re- adjustment is never one in which expenditures can with certainty be profitably made. :5: :g as :2: :k s: :1: s- ‘Sl.000 A TRIFLE' Everyone will agree with the observation of Counâ€" cillor P. C. Hill at the July meeting of the village council that even a cost of 81.000 for a stoplight is not to be com- pared with the loss of one life. “With traffic conditions as they are at week-ends. it’s a wonder somebody hasn't been killed.” said Councillor Hill, a sentiment with which. on many occasions, the Lib-- eral has had occasion to concur heartily. This week a gifted Richmond Hill lady whose letter appears elsewhere in this issue writes some highly inter- esting and worth while adviceon the subject. “It should be made emphatically clear to passing motorists,” says this correspondent, “that the speed limit within the pre- cincts of Richmond Hill is 30 miles per hour â€"â€" strictly enforced â€" and then see that it is carried’out.” We fully agree. A week ago we pointed out that with the frequent stops and slow travel made necessary in heavy traffic. a motorist is tempted to take whatever opportun- ity he can get to make up for lost time. He cannot on that account be classed as a reckless or dangerous driver, but he can and should and must be controlled, and about the only way in which we can exercise such control is by trafâ€" fic signals. ‘What is $1,000 compared with the loss of one life?’ as Councillor Hill puts it *=i<>i~’*=i==i==3< .~ WHAT PEOPLE READ The Picton Gazette in an interesting article says that a survey made in the United States for the Book Manu- facturers Institute reveals that while the Bible is still [the most read book, it is currently being pressed in popularity by the novel “Forever Amber.” Ninety-five per cent of those polled said they read the Bible, and 84 per cent read "Forever Amber.” “While the majority may have read the Bible, or parts of it sometime in their life, it is questionable that they are habitual readers,” says the Gazette. “A large perâ€" centage of Bible readers. read only a few verses in church on Sunday. We doubt if 30 per cent of the people make a practice of studying the Bible daily. 01' even once a week. judging from the knowledge of Biblical events shown by most people. It used to be that much more emphasis was placed on Bible reading than nowadays. No Christian home was without a Bible, displayed in a prominent place in the household. Often it was the large size book, in S which was recorded the births, deaths and marriages. Nightly reading of the Bible to the assembled family was more the practice than the exception. It doesn’t seem to be the fashion anymore, however. , “Even apart‘from its inspirational value, the Bible presents the finest style in our literature. ies hold an absorbing interest. we advise you to read a chapterlor so daily. “The Book Manufacturer’s poll also revealed Its many stor~ If you have notlread it, that fic- tion accounts for 58 per cent of all books read and 37 per cent deal with non fiction. Adventure type stories are the most popular; while least read is poetry.” _ W.
