Be- lieving that Canada is more unified than Canadians realize, the two great neWSpap- er associations are sponsoring this week to bring home to the people of this nation the fact‘ of Canadian unity. The idea of a Week of Canadian Un‘ i‘ty has been conceived and is being spon- sored by the French Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association and the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association. This year Canadians from coast to coast are being asked to focus their atten- tion for the week of June 24 to J ulx 1 on the state of the nation’s unity. Crossing Yonge Street any time is a dangerous undertaking. It is particu- larly dangerOus during heavy week~end traffic and local authorities and the De- partment of Highways should give some thought to the need for giving pedestrians some additional protection and assistance. The average motorist who uses Yonge Street doesn’t show much concern for the welfare of pedestrians. This is some- what surprising inasmuch as every motor- ist sometimes is a pedestrian, but once be- hind the wheel Mr. Motorist wants a clear road and registers the utmost impatience with anything which will delay his pro- The Trade Fair again proved that not only is Richmond Hill a good place in which to live, but that it also is a good place in which to do business. It demon- strated that this is a real live business centre and that our varied business places are well abreast of the times and well stocked with quality merchandise to meet the needs of this fast-growing district. It Congratulations to the Richmond Hill Business Men’s Association on the outstanding success of the annual Trade Fair last week end. In every way the Fair was a credit to Richmond Hill and the members of the Business Men’s As- sociation who staged the event have every reason tol-feel proud of the show. For tWo days the arena was trans- formed into a beautifully decorated show window depicting Richmond Hill business enterprises. Thousands of people from this and neighbouring communities at- tended; admired the varied exhibits, visit- ed with Richmond Hill business people and shared in the distribution of hundreds of prizes. m BIBE’R‘A‘L‘, Richmond Hill, Thursday, June 21, 195: 'An Independent Weekly â€" Established 1878 Subscription Rate, $2.00 per year; To the United States $2.50 Member Canadian Weekly Newspapers Assgciation J.‘ E.

It is a. yean round job. If Canadian Unity Week accomplishes only two things -â€" impresses Canadians with the astounding degree of unity ach- ieved during the short 84 years since Conâ€" federation and convinces Canadians of the necessity of knowing each other better if the unity of the nation is to be streng~ thened â€" Canada’s weekly newspapers as. sociations will have attained their objec- tive'.’ Canadians do not know too well their own story and are better acquainted with the historical figures of Britain, France and the United States than they are with the great men of their own past. A quiz, for instance, on the Fathers of Confeder- ation would keep most Canadians guess- individual, Canadian pride in the achieve- ments of this youthful nation surpass in- finitely any differences that may exist. Some years ago councillor Middleton suggested a tunnel under Yonge Street for pedestrian crossing and the idea would seem to have much in its favor. Whatever the ultimate solution the immediate situ- ation would be materially helped by some police assistance at busy intersections during the week-end. gress even by a few seconds. This kind of thinking has to be changed. We build fine highways for our motor traffic, but we must keep in mind that pedestrians too have rights and if they happen to want to go across to the other side of Yonge St. they should be able to do so without en- dangering their lives. An event as successfully .staged as the Trade Fair doesn’t just happen. The outstanding success of this year’s fair was due to the careful planning, hard work and enthusiasm of a large group of loaal business people and to all who worked and contributed to its success we extend heart- iest congratulations. The Trade Fair was evidence of the fine spirit of co-operation prevailing a- mong Richmond Hill business people and of their public spirit and community pride. Business places such as Richmond Hill boasts and business people who can stage a show such as was seen at the arena last Friday and Saturday are a real asset to the district and merit generous support and patronage. The demonstration of bus- iness enterprise is assurance that' this community will continUe to prosper and grow and that Richmond Hill will increase in popularity as a business centre. demonstrated beyond any dOubt that Rich- mond Hill business men attract customers from a wide area, and that there is no need for people here to seek larger centres to meet their merchandising needs. high ace]- manpower case doing thousands Provincial Inspector Witts also stresses to motorcycle officers the importance of being constantly on patrol as visible symbols of safety law en- forcement. In their more exposed position they can be seen by many more drivers than can the officer in a. car. And even the sight of a. po- liceman can often deter drivers who might otherwise be tempted to drive boa fast o:- too dangerously. "Watch where the grief is build- ing up." the inspector urges, refer- ring to the accidents shown by clus- ters of coloured pins on headquar- ters maps. His aim is, to enforce the traffic laws and prevent acci- dents with the least amount of pa- trol mileage. At the direction of Deputy Com- missioner E. T. Doyle. a. personal briefing on safety law enforcement tactics is given by Traflfic Inspector A. Witts to all provincial police re- ceiving motorcycles for the season. He stresses the importance of "working" the more hazardous and congested parts of each officer’s territory. Congestion Target For Safety Efforts Winner of White and!

The eyes 0‘e 10vu are the only ones that really see." Our quotation today is by Dr. Frank Crane: ‘ For ordinary people, friendship is an absolute necessity and, as time takes its toll and removes so many, we must learn to form new bonds and there is every reason to Believe that they will be as endur- ing- and precious as any we have ever known. Our ability to form and maintain new friendships is a test of character. Here is what the late Frank Crane had to say about it: “It is a distinctflthrill to my to form a new friendshp. It keeps me young for it keeps me hopeful and gives me the feeling there are still many pages in the book of life which I have not turn- ed. Perhaps the very richness of our nature depends upon our cap- acity to form new friendships.” Making friends is one thing, keeping them is another. Friend- ship, like a lamp, must be nour- ished. A self-centred person can- not keep friends because he is un- willing to pay the price which the relationship calls for.. Lord Mac- aulay once wrote to his sister: “I have hosts of friends but there are not more than half a. dozen the news of whose death would spoil my breakfost.” The great histor- ian was thinking of acquaintances rather than friends. Then again, friendship with an intellectual like Macaulay would not be possible for very many. How are we to go about making new friends? Some make friends easily. They do it graciously and without self-consciousness; others find it extremely difficult. In the main, however, it is true that if we show ourselves friendly we still find friends. The old illustration comparing'life to looking into a mirror is true. The scowlng per- son sees a scowling reflection, and the happy, cheerful person meets a happy face. We need to make new friends, if for no other reason than that the old ones are dropping out. 1M 8 long time I boasted that I never read the obituaries in newspapers. No sir! Give me worldahappen- ings, editorials or the sporting page. ’But lately I have‘begun to read obituaries, and I nearly al- ways find the name of someone I knew more or less intimately. I read the list with a little embar- rassment; it makes me’ feel the same as when some one gets up and gives me a seat in a street-car. I rather resent it. It is common knowledge ohat when people leave home and live elsewhere for say, five or ten years, then return, they are often surpris- ed and disappointed to find that the old friends are not nearly so congenial as they once were. The chief reason is that each has de- veloped but very often the developâ€" ment has been in different direct- ions and at a different rate. No one is to blame for this; it has just happened that tastes have changed, for no one remains the same in a world like this. A Toronto church calls itself: “The House of Friendship”, and it is a worthy boast for surely a church ought to be a place marked by goodwill and friendliness. At the same time enduring frienosnips are not formed simply by people being thrown togethcr and invited to eat doughnuts and drink tea or coffee. It is true, however, that when groups do assemble an op- portunity is aflorded all to meet others which may bring about rich and lasting friendships. ‘ Our earliest friendships are gen- erally accidental. We were thrown in close fellowship because we liv- ed the next farm or on the same street, or went to the same school. It was almost inevitable that such proximity should create friend- ships. But we had little choice in the matter; we did not select these first friends. We were thrown to- gather. MAKING NEW FRIENDS An oftâ€"quoted saying is the one that old friends are best. The be- lief is widespread that, no matter how worthy new friends may be, they can never come up to those we knew long ago. The memory of old friends brings warmth to the heart becau5e we have so much sentiment in our make-up. It takes very little to make us nostalgic. To cherish old friends is a worthy trait, but I want to say something about new friendships; even those formed in mature years. The friendships of later life are deliberate; we choose them because we really like them. We select them from amidst scores of casual acquaintances because they have character qualities which appeal to us. We like the way they think and act, and enjoy being with them.
