The climax took place during the last two weeks when a Miss Harriette Lewis, of the High School PreSs, of Kansas City, Missouri, arrived in towng'accompanied by young ladies Merchants and business men on KentStreet, have supported the sur- rounding rural areas in many ways through the years, by donating mon- ey and goods to Women’s Institutes, Clurch organizations, Fall Fairs, Reâ€" creation Centrqs, rinks and libraries. Many of these merchants have turned down local promoters and newspaper men offering more legitimate ideas. Recently, according to several business men, they were “taken for a ride” in handing over to an attrac- tive feminine saleswoman many dollâ€" ars for advertising in a sporting mag- azine, from which they, or the Town of Lindsay, or any organization in Lindsay failed to reCeive any benefit. Of late there have been far too many “fly by night,” get-rich-quick promoters operating in Ontario, 111- cluding the villages of Omemee, oun- derland, Little Britain and Woodville. Now, the British Labor Party has published a little pamphlet called “This Cost of Living Business”, in which there is quite a different atti- tude. It turns out that profits are necessary. Corporations get out of Back in 1945 the Socialists took ofiice in Britain as the result of a long campaign of explaining to the public that profits were the real troub- le with our system of society; that, if profits were reduced and wages in- creased, then all would be well. In fact, at the time, the Socialists did not seem to have any underfltanding of the value of profits to anyone ex- cept capitalists. v While every adult has a natural interest in his prospects for longevity, the survival of children to maturity ‘has more important implications for the progress of civilization. As life goes on, life needs to be replenished with new blood and fresh human mo; 'tivation. The preservation of child life holds the key to the destiny of human society. Thus it is gratifying that conquest of disease has reduced mortality among children one'to 14 'years old, by three-fourths since 1930, according: to a large insurance com- pany. Shadows of disease are being lifted from childhood. 'The mortality from the principal communicable dis- easesâ€"measles, scarlet fever, whoop. ing' cough and diphtheria â€"- has Iall- en more than 95 percent and the downward trend of the death rate nvp a letter that was received by the Richmond Hill Public School Board recently from Robert H. Saunders, chairman of the Hydro Electric Pow- er Commission of Ontario. He said that pursuant to an article which had appeared in the Liberal relative to The Liberal claims, and rightly, that advertising in this newspaper gets results. But it has never made such a claim for its editorial columns. Development of Toronto’s Yonge street late in the 18th century actual- ly was the forerunner of what is now known as Highway No. 11, a road that has grown from an ox-cart trall to one of the finest roads in the prov- ince. But as roads improved a stage coach began to run.

The system provides uniform visibil- ity in the classrooms no matter what Holland Landing and Newmarket. The roads were appalling. There were three classes of passengers, those who retained their seats all the way, those Who got out at hills, and those who got out at hills to help push. " But with the coming of the auto- mobile and improved roads Onmrio experienced a revolution. No greater contrast could be conceived than the Yonge street of 1794 and the holiday motor traffic north and south of the present day. Inns and roadhouses nad sprung up every mile or two, and at one time there were sixty taverns on the road between Toronto and Barrie. There were many setbacks in the develop- ment of Yonge street, what with the coming of the railway and the aband- onment of roads and highways in the second half of the 19th century to those who dwelt beside them.

It is very fortuate, indeed, that business men have now the back- ing of a C. of C. and business men who are not members, should link up at once. They can save dollars by becoming members of this important body. Do Canadian Socialists under- stand all this? They continue to ar- gue that it is profits and not wages which cause prices to be high, but the British Socialists, after six years of experience, feel differently about it. Perhaps the British Socialists are stln Socialist in theory but they at least have learned something about how the world of business functions. Indeed, they have learnt so much that they point out that the only cure for inflation is increased production, and the only palliative even for a short time is to stop all increases in wages, salaries and profits, as well as to impose higher taxation.

Editorial Opinions Although I am not desirous of taking up valuable space in your paper for matters which concern a comparatively 'small number of you readess, I would appreciate it if you could publish this explana- tion. It appears necessary follow- ing Mr. J. Teetzel’s remarks in ast week’s Liberal. First I would like to point out that “supreme gall” or not, I spoke for an association. While some of the views expressed were personal, the question of location of the sewage disposal plant was not my an opinion alone. Further it was merely a suggestion because of the possible economy to Richmond Hill, Elmwood Park and Harding Park. Secondly, Mr. Teetzel is wrong when he says we did not have the benefit of engineering information. We did â€" and if he had I'ead‘eare- ully the report in the Liberai of a few weeks ago, he would realize we did not insist that the plant be located anywhere â€"â€" we, since we are quite cognizant of the rights of private owners, certainly would not put it “anywhere” â€"â€" we just can’t anyway. Harding Park may not have drainage problem as far as sewage is concerned â€" xet. If it builds up, such a. situation could develop. I personally did not want this sit- uation to be on a. personal level. Naturally I dislike Mr. Teetzel’s use of the term “supreme gall", but even more I dislike his sugges- tion that there are “suitable spots for the plant in their own area where it would be more in keeping Dear Mr. Editor: Small white legless maggots which tunnel or burrow in roots, causing young plants to Wither and die.

The reception was quite infor- mal and featured by the warm hospitality for which the h‘ime Minister and his wife are noted. The home is spacious and well furnis«hed.but while the furnish- ings are good they could not be termed loud or lavish and every- thing seemed in excellent taste. It is a fitting home for Canada’s first minister and will fill a long- felt need in our national life. Old Age Pensions Revision of Canada’s old age pension legislation is now almost a certainty for this year. Provin- cial representatives conferred with federal cabinet ministers and officials last week ironing out the The following are some of the pests and insects that will be in- vading your garden and attack- ing your plants from now on. Onion Thrip Last week the Prime Mimster and his charming wife held their first IeCeption in the official res. idence and had as guests mem- bers of the Senate and the House of Commons and their wives. A beautiful residence located on the high banks of the Ottawa. River and surrounded by beauti- fully landscaped grounds, has been purchased by the people or Canada and remodelled and fur- nished as an official residence for the country’s Prime Minister. For many years Britain has had its No. 10 Downing Street, and our American neighbours have had the White House. Both have been closely associated with the history and tradition of these countries and occupied a. centre- of-the-stage place in their natâ€" ional life. Prime Minister and Mrs. St. Laurent recently moved in as the first occupants of No. 24 Sussex Street. Now for the first time Canada has a. comparable institution in No. 24 Sussex Street, Ottawa, the official residence of the Prime Minister. The Gardener’s COIUMD GARDEN PESTS ’ear Mister E ditor” OTTAWA LETTER by flack Smfih, {North York (By Al Rico) with the surroundings." We real- ize that Elmwood Park needs im- provement â€" that’s what we’re working for as individuals and as an association. So why try to in- fer something to the detriment of the area? However, Harding Park is not al. ways likely to be independent. Sometime it will become I part of the Township or other body and will find it much more beneficial to co-operate. After all, if it hadn’t been for some property owners on Church St. (beforel owned prop- ety there)_ there wouldn’t have been a water main running south on Church St. for our independent friend to use to supply water to his development. Furthermore Elmwood Park has not, and it has been made quite clear to Mr. Teetzel and others, de- cided to change its name to include Harding Park. It has been sug- gested that the property owners there might like to join with us for the benefit of the whole‘area. To that end, a notice of motion was given at our last meeting so that our constitution could be changed IF Harding Park property owners desired to join with us. We all know that Harding Park is still "private," Perhaps Mr. Teetzel would like to tell us why â€"-â€" whether by preference or necess- ity'.’ Mr. Teetzel is to be congratulated on his enterprise and development. We do hope that he will see fit to assess the facts as presented and not to jump to hasty and wrong conclusions.

It has been suggested that the Domionion government might seek a constitutional amendment to provide for such a tax. I see no need for alarm regarding such a possibility and any such action seems highly improbable. Re- quest for such an amendment would first require the unani- mous consent of the provinces, and no such unanimous consent would appear likely. To the many who write me regarding this matter I suggest that the prospects for such objectionable tax ever being imposed aré at the moment very slight. Foreign Minister Pearson told us this week that undoubtedly Iran ranked next to Korea as the trouble spot of the world, and that it would be too bad if Iran- ian oil was lost to the western democracies and worse if it went to “other countries." Turnover Tax The international situation eon- tinues to, occupy the centre of real concern here, and there is no use kidding ourselves that it is not serious. Speaking in Ottawa on Citizenship Day the Prime Minister said “I am still hopeful we will have peace”. In the same address to some 150 visit- ing High School students he told them that if we could just main- tain peace they would see even greater and more wonderful de- velopment in Canada than he had seen in his lifetime.
