That the fu- ture holds great prospects for Rich- mond Hill can most certainly be seen by the least imaginative of our local citizens. A planning body such as Mr. ‘Pick- ing suggested in his article is a fun- damental part of the future and should be as of the present. We want industry here, but of a type that will credit the community. We must not allow haphazard projects that come and go, leaving their scars on the landscape and on the citizens, as may be seen in many parts of the coun- try. Competitive business should be welcomed, within tolerable limits. Competition induces sound “on four toes" business. The war period of indifferent business attitudes is def- initely passed. The rut of stagnation must be filled in and a direct course be adgpted. A, group of intelligent and pertinent men can guide this community to a very healthy and prosperous position. I believe there are very few people who do not want’ to see the commun- ity progress. They are those who are afraid to take the necessary steps and there are a few who have their little stake and are quite content to rest on their laurels. The majority, I think, would welcome planned ac- Having followed Mr. F. J. Picking’s column since it started, I found his article of May 26th most interesting. Mr. Picking has pointed the way to a vital step in the life of a growing community, such as Richmond Hill is today. As this paper has pointed out on many occasions such a rap- id increase brings new and unprecedented problems to local gov- erning bodies and, in equal measure, to business men and citizens. The days of “coasting along” are gone and must be replaced by days of planning and forethought. Town planning, which today is receiving the attention of municipal governing bodies, is only part of the picture. Seldom have elected representatives of the people on the municipal level been faced with such a challenge. Their deliberations and actions of today will mean very much to the citizens of tomorrow and leadership of high character at the present moment will pay big dividends. Dear Mrs. Editor The number of persons qualified to vote in a Federal election has increased well over fifty per cent since the election of 1945. Even allowing for the fact that the villages of Markham and Stouffville and the township of Markham are now included in the riding â€"â€" which they were not in 1945 â€" the increase is a strikâ€" ing one. True, a large part of the increase has taken place in a sister municipality, North Yorlq Township._ But the townships of Markham and Vaughan and the village of Richmond Hill c0ntri- bute to the increase in no small measure. . There is little indication that the upward trend of population has reached its peak. New residences being erected in both urban and rural areas give evidence of the rapidity with which town is supplanting country. New businesses are springing up overnight. Distinct honour has been brought to Richmond Hill by the selection of one of its leading business men as District Governor of the Lions. The election of Mr. Little to his new office brings honour not only to himself but also to the worth-while organization whose member he is. The Liberal, in extending its congratulations, offers its best wishes for a year of successful activity which will further enâ€" hance the appreciation which Mr. Little’s fellow members have expressed in electing him to his present outstanding office. Far too many Canadians, unfortunately, fail to study the figures which tell of the nation’s progress in the field of inter- national commerce. In choosing R. D. Little the Lions have selected a man whose record, both as a Lion and a citizen, is outstanding; and who will bring to his new office qualities whch should make his period 'of office an outstandingly successful one. Richmond Hill is rightfully proud of its Lions Club. It has been one of the major forc‘és for good in the community in recent years and, through its endeavours, has done “much for the village and for those whom fortune has not treated any too well. Total Canadian exports for the first four months of the year amounted to $896 million as compared with $884 million in the same period last year. Like a storekeeper, we can examine our national sales slips and note that business is showing a healthy increase The Lions New District Governor Letter To The Editor As long as such a situatipn continues the country, its wageâ€" earners, farmers and other producers can look forward to con- tinuing prosperity. 0111' Export Trade Figures Altogether apart from their political significance figures reâ€" cently released by Fred G. Hare of Temperanceville, returnlng officerfor the Federal constituency of North York, are of interest to residents of this district.
