No obligation probably rests upon any of us to do more than we may-have done for the war brides. Our own par- ents or grandparents or great grandparents may have found nothing but toil and problems on them arrival here from overseas. And yet there is somethingrwithin us that objects to letting these girls and their young husbands So much, however, cannot be said of the charge made by a reader in this week’s issue of The Liberal that the residents of Richmond Hill district, manifesting no doubt the characteristic for which all Canadians have been tak- en to task as aforementioned, have done nothing to help the war brides among us like Canada and Canadian ways. and want to be one "with us”; “ We should analyze such a charge and ascertain ‘Whatthere may be to it. We have read that some communities have gone all out to make the brides from; overseas feel that they are welcome. Com- munity showers and church parties, at-homes. and other such affairs have been held for them. but whatever may have been. donehere in that respect has been largely by friends and" relatives of the Canadians who married these girls ratherthan by public or quasi-public organizations. THE WAR BRIDES AMONG US The charge that Canadians themselves are to blame for the exodus to their native countries of many new arâ€" rivals who might have become first class citizens must occasion anything save pleasant reflections. But the charge is made by high government authority and may, accordâ€" ingly, be regarded as indicative of an actual condition. HO'vever, as with all such charges there is the implication that to whatever extent we may be guilty the rest of the country is also guilty, and that somehow seems to lighten the load on our consciences, rightly or wrongly. If tle fault is nation-wide, our district or community 1‘esponsi-~ bility does not stick out so much like a sore thumb. EDIFYING ENTERPRJISE The news pages of The Liberal last week carried a story outllning the community projects undertaken by the newly formed Lions Club of Thornhill. In the advertising columns of the same issue, the Richmond Hill Lions Club pictured the community hall it has undertaken to build and turn over to this village. Both. setâ€"ups are interesting and highly edifying. Citizens grouped together with the object of alloting big items of public work to themselves conform to every idcfl of. citizenship, and they deserve every encouragement. The Lions Club of Thornhill will provide free eye tests for every child in the Thornhill, Thornlea and Langstaff public schools. A moment’s reflection will show how im- portant is such a project from the standpoint of giving everv child the best of educational opportunities. Thorn- hifl Lions are also hopeful of putting a wading pool in the park, something that has been needed for years. These amI butâ€",jnitial items in a long-term programpf achiev- m'ent...‘now being formulated. The Liberal believes that every resident of Richmond Hill should get behind the Lions, not only by making as large a contribution as possible towards the building of the hall, but by inducing friends and associates to do like- wise, and by encouraging impromptu silver collections in the organizations of which they fnay be members. The new Community Hall will be a village owned asset.

In a sense he suggests that he has a solution to one of the great riddles of the universe. His article, although it fails to solve such a riddle, does prove most interesting. He describes an aged gentle- man »of meagre pension who is able to live in a manner that might well be the envy of kings. His vistas are the parks; his friends are the people he meets every day, the policeman, the milkman. the baker and others who wave him a daily greeting; the scores of children for whom he always has a cheering word.

Above all, protect the forests from fire: Ontario has been abundantly blessed with natural resources; which, if not properly protected, can be quickly exhausted. Every year, for example, thousands of acres of trees are destroyed because someone is not careful with fire. Forests mean much more than a pleasant place to holiday : : i an attraction for tourists . . . shelter for game animals and fishing haunts. They mean more than a source of lumber and paper products; and iobs for thousands of people, vital as these are to national welfare; Climate is temperedâ€"extremes preventedâ€"by forest areas.
