That is a question which can be answered only from the viewpoint of the individual who studies them. To mem- bers of school‘boards they bring the prob- lems of a greatly increased school popu- lation. To municipal councils they mean more demands in the way of services. To merchants they bring a delightful picture of new customers â€" increased business. And when on top of that it is realized that nearly eleven hundred new residences are covered by the two-year figures the comparison With a complete new town is justified. J. E. SMITH, M.P., Publisher When it is realized that the assessed value of Richmond Hill â€"â€" not the real val- ue but the assessed value â€"- for 1950 was $1,895,000 it takes little figuring to indi- cate that the equivalent of a new Rich- mond Hill has grown up within a radius of a few miles in the last couple of years. They show that in 1950 a total of $4,- 781,660 was issued in building permits. In 1949 permits issued by the three corpora- tions totalled $2,934,215. Together they make the respectable total of nearly eight million dollars. Any doubt as to the northward spread of population â€" if such still exists â€"â€" should be dissipated by the figures cover- ing buihhng pernfitsissued in the three municipalities of Vaughan, Markham and Richmond Hill in 1950' and reported in this issue. It is a particular tragedy that death .has claimed Dr. Hoggat such an early age. He had already accomplished great things in his chosen science â€" the promiSe of even greater lay ahead. His life’s work was of a character little understood by the average man. Few can even begin to think in the terms understood by Dr. Hogg and such men and women as make advanced astronomy their life work. The import and implication of "his work was as far beâ€" yond the ken of the average man as the We little thought at that time that within a few days it would become necess- ary to again bring the name of Dr. hogg into these editorial columns -â€" to emphas- ize in an even broader sense the outstand- ing qualities which he possessed â€" and to express regret that such an Outstanding Canadian has passed from the earthly scene. It is only a few days since we received a card from Dr. Frank Hogg expressing appreciation of a recent editorial in which tribute was paid to the services which he had rendered as a member and as chair- man of Richmond Hill High School Area Board.

All this isn’t to suggest that tuere is any need to say to Toronto “Move ovâ€" er.” Not just yet, anyway. It is, however. enough to make us realize that 1945 concepts have gone out of the window. The “good old days” have gone forever. Like it or not, a new chall- enge is facing us â€" a challenge inexor- able in its demands on local government, local industry, local imagination. But the best part of the whole situation is that this district can, as it has proved abund- antly during the past year, meet that challenge and make something of it. trict which is on the march from semi- urban, semi-rural, category to a near- metropolitan one. That latter phrase may sound a. bit ambitious â€" study of the figures will reveal that a continuance of the trend could make it a bit less extrav- agant than it sounds at first. That, we are sure, will be an unbound- ing consolation to those Whom he has left to mourn him â€"- and to whom this com- munity extends its deepest sympathy. Be that as it may, his life was well spent. He brought hdnour to his native land by the position which he achieved in the world of science. He contributed much to a younger generation by his labours on their behalf as a member of the High School Board. His was not a long life â€" but it was a full and productive one. ' Dr. Hogg, like many more men of ambition and energy and foresight, has fallen a martyr to the driving urge of modern times -â€"â€" times in which it seems that the challenge to greater labour can never be fully met. A never-ceasing worker, there can be little doubt that his activities on behalf of the world which he served so well contributed, as it has done in the case of so‘ many others like him, to his early death. stars which he studied â€" and in the study- ing of which he contributed much to the slow but sure progress 0f mankind toward an understanding of the universe.

Livingstone had given his sol- emn pledge that he would bring all the boys back again, and no longing for home could make him break that promise. So once again he and his party began the long journey home, which they reached after an absence of two and a half years. They received a great welcome, and Living- stone’s boys were regarded as heroes. They proudly walked around the village in clothes bought in Luanda. To their friends they said “We went on till we finished the whole world. We turned back only when there was no 'more land." “No good life has ever been lived without sapéfifigq a_nd "§uf- fering.” :3 -w_ The warship returned to Brit- ain without the missionary.

The commander had been sent to take the great miss- ‘ionary hack to Britain. He was both astonished and disappomted when Livingstone declined to go.
