it is ’I ty, . ago; Not only is it good and pleasant for Canadians to dwell together in unity, it is also something of a miracle. Canada is a. vast land, only the south- ern fringes of which. are populated with a scattered fourteen million people, a land divided into sections by mountains and wilderness and sea, a land where dwell people and descendants of people from nearly every nation of the world. And yet despite distances and differ- ences, Canadians are brethren dwelling together in unity, motivated by the com- mon objective of building a great nation of the north in the new world. We are fortunate, we Canadians, to have two great cultures, French and Brit- ish, as well as the best of many other cul- tures working in us to leaven our nation- hood. Our way of life is compounded of the customs and ideals of many nations, yet its strongest ingredient is freedom of the individual. Canadian unity has developed from the people. We are united because we be« lieve that in unity alone can we achieve our d tiny as a nation. Whether we speak rench or English we are convinced that by working together we can build on the northern half of the North American continent a. nation that will be a strong- hold of democracy and freedom - a mod- el for other nations to follow. Then comes the great moment in the early part of your life â€"- high school grad- uation and your picture is published. YOU cut it out for your grandchildren to see. Then perhaps college and home for holi~ days; your name appears often. YOU graduate and your hometown paper is just as proud of you as you parents are. THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Thursday, June 28, 1951 Did you ever stop to think that in all “the world there is only one newspaper that is really concerned with YOU? And that is your hometown paper. YOU are on the hockey team or +he ball team as YOU grow older and yaur name is mentioned many times. YOU golf, curl, go to summer camp with the reserves, take part in the music festival, act in a play“â€" your name is in the paper. Unity in Canada is a living, growing thing. It has deve10ped greatly during the first half of the twent‘iet‘. century. Even in the lifetime of many Canadians now in their prime, old animosities have died, old sectional feuds have disappeared, The facts concerning tuberculosis do not permit complacency. During the war almost as many Canadians were killed by this disease as were killed by enemy ac- tion. It kills more people between 18 and 45 than all other infectious diseases com- bined. At this moment about 50,000 Can- adians are actively ill with tuberculosis. It is most urgent that this important project should receive the co-Operation of all. No one in this community should be missed by the chest X-ray survey. The free X-ray service will be available at the Municipal Hall, Richmond Hill, July 3, 4 and 5, from 1 to 9 pm. Have you ever wondered how long you will live? To 60, 80, or 100 years? Life does not go on forever, yet why shor- ten it? Some adults, for instance, believe once they have passed 30 years of age they are no longer susceptible to a disease like tuberculosis. On the contrary, tuber- Big city dailies are only interested in- YOU when you commit' a crime, break: your neck, or do something equally spec- tacular.or foolish. YOU. come home and go to work in dad’s ngigess or start one 9: 20311: own. or nearly so. 'A drive to stamp out tuberculosis in the North York district will soon be un- derway. It is being conductd by the Nat- ional Sanitarium Association in rec-opera- ‘tion with Richmond Hill Lions Club. If the campaign is to succeed as it most cer- tainly should, help is needed from many Volunteers and every resident must be aware of it. But your hometown paper is interested in YOU all through your life. Over the years it tells the story of YOU. The story begins, as good stories should, at the beginning. YOU are born and in the “birth notices” there is an an- nouncement that your father and mother have been blessed with YOU. Then Dad and Mom go away on a trip and take YOU with them. So your name appears in the social and personal column. The years pass and YOU go to school. Every so often your name ap- pears in school results, sometimes at the top of your'class, sometimes at the bot- tom, but always there. “Behold, how good and how pleasant for brethren to dwell together in uni- the psalmist sang many generations 111 Independent Weekly â€" Established 1878 Subscription Rate, $2.00 per year; To the United States $2.50 Member Canadian Weekly Newspapers Associafion J. E. SMITH, M.P., Publisher Telephone, Richmond Hill 9 ree X-Ray Campaign All Through Your Life ogether Two world wars, the radio, better transportation, a desire for Canadians to know one another â€"- all of these and more have been factos in the increasing oneness of our people. Never, however, in our development of national unity has there been any thought of eliminating the var- iety that makes us what we are. Rather there has been encouragement of the cul- tures and traditions brought here from other lands. We know that it is g00d and pleasant to dwell in unity. We know, too, that to achieve that we must consciously put forth an effort to know each other, to ap- preciate each other’s problems and ideas and ideals. There is much that can be done to strengthen our unity if -we Canaâ€" dians will but make the effort, We need, for example, a national flag, more national songs, more visiting back and forth be- tween the various sections of the nation, In Unity a more extensive interchange of plays and music and dancing, more books about Can« adians and our way of life, more of every" thing that will help bring us together so that we will have an opportunity to know each other better. We have seen in our lifetime, some of us, the miracle of Canadians learning to live and work and play together in unity. We can, every one of us, help to srengthen that miracle by forgetting prejudices and differences and sectional pride. We can go forward into the future as brethren dwelling together in unity with the pur- pose in common of making Canada a na- tionlhonored and respected throughout the wor d. This is the true spirit of unity with which we as Canadians should celebrate our national holiday on July 1. On this date eighty-four years ago the Fathers of Confederation laid the foundation of a great nation, and our responsibility is to make this Canada of ours a great nation and a power for good in the world. culosis may strike at any age. Last year one half of those who died were over 30 years of age. Tuberculosis is a sly enemy. The much-advertiSed danger signs are not symptoms of early tuberculosis but 6f‘ac- tive advancing disease. Early tubercul- osis gives no warning. Only the X-ray can find the disease at.a time when it is almost always completely curable. No matter how careful we are, it is not always possible to keep tuberculosis germs out of the body. As long as our resistance can protect us no harm may be done. But no two people react in the same manner when attacked by disease germs. After tuberculosis has become active, it can take one of two courses. If neg- lected it will advance and the patient will die. When discovered early and treat- ment started quickly, it is almost always completely curable. Every year thousands of tuberculosis does not stand in the way work, their disease arrested. A history of tuberculosis does not stand in th way of earning one’s living. ‘ Also contrary to popular belief, tuber. culosis is not inherited. It is caused by a certain kind of germ, and like all germs they are living organisms. YOU meet the one and only girl and your engagement is announced in the paper. YOU are married and there is a. detalled account of your wedding. As the years roll on your hometown paper tells the story of your social life, your community achievements, the birth of your children, the honors that Come to YOU. Finally at the end of your'long and happy 1i1'e YOU appear in the “obit- uary column.” , Thus YOU and your hometown paper are closely connected. Without YOU there would be ‘no community newspaper. Without your community newspaper there would be no published story of YOU. Civilization is a state of society in whiCh' the only people who speak about the future with any confidence are the fortune tell- ers. , AILthrough your life your paper re- cords your doings â€" the happy occasions in your life, your sorrowful ones, your achievements.

Editorial Opinions ‘This sesaion of Parliament like- ly will conclude this week with adjournment until sometime m the fall. During the interval I will ’be at home and‘ u‘ntil the. re- sumption of the session all mail and enquiries should be addressed to me at Richmond Hill. The session now ending with the usual rush of morning, afternoon and night sittings has not been a spectacular one and has been one in which national defence needs have been given every priority. This situation will likely continue for sometime and at least. until there is a definite improvement in the international situation. The world picture still is not too encouraging, but in some respects it can truly be said it has improv- ed. There are a few danger spots giving real concern bu: there have been some indications on the world horizon that there is ground for increasing hope of world peace. Until. this is assured Canada‘s de- termined policy will continue to be one of improvement of our defence forces, continued co-operation With those who believe as we do in a free way of life, and every possible assistance in improving the lot of less fortunate people everywnore in the world. Credit Regulation Inflation is a dread enemy of our economy. As a step in the battle against it y0ur government early this year took action to pre- vent it. One major step was in the field of 'credit buying. Buying on the instalment plan 'was curtailed by regulation and there is no doubt the action has'caused sdme mcon- venience~and hardship to dealers and purchasers. ' ' Recently there haé been a con- aiderahle demand for an easing of these regulations but Finance Min- ister Abbot this week stated that the government 'is net planning any"immediate relaxatien in the restriction. This does‘not mean that'in due time whén there has been a levelling off of inflationary trends that some change will not 'be made. and there is every indica- There is one expression so fre- quentlyused I getting of hearing- it; It is the word; “hypocrite”. when a man wants to say nasty things about another he generally calls him a hypocrite. The term is used very loosely. There.are not many out-and- out hypocrites and the term should be used sparingly. There are lots of weak-willed people, Who mean well but haven’t too much back. bone and wilt under temptation. There is a‘passage in the Bible about half-baked people and many are like that but that doesn’t make them double-faced hypocrites. I once héard a ninety-year old man say that he could count all the hypocrites he had known on the fingers of one hand. .Hypocrite can be applied to one who deliberately plays a double part; literally he is an actor, one who assumes a virtue he does not possess. The Pharisees of Christ’s day who made long prayers in mublic and disfigured their faces to create the impression that they were very holy aroused his indig- natibn.‘ When someone's conduct disap- points us there is a reason for it and if we know that reason we would feel differently. We know so little about each other that we should hesitate to pass hasty and unkind judgments. Who are we to condemn others so cruelly and emphatically.

Our quotat The famous journalist, Sir Rob- ertson Nicholl, told about a young" Scotsman he had known who was considered mean and niggardly. When the that was pa sed round for some enterprise, he gave little â€"â€"- sometimes nothing. First he chaffed about it and then openly criticized. He said nothing in self- defence, just minded his own bus- iness. Some years later the man’s sister died and then the discovery was made, that she had been a bed-ridden invalid for years and he had been her sole support. That revealed the secret of his shabby clothes and apparent meanness. The hypocrite sets out to gain a. reputation which he doesn’t de- serve, but the world is full of people who, in reality, are much better than they appear to be. ’Dhey remind me of the old lady who said many people must be better than they seem because she knew she was better inside than outside and'that must be true o_f others. In. Christ’s account. of the Judg- ment, recorded in Matthew 25, the righteous were astonished when they were exalted.

Census Nearly Complete The big job of taking the census in Canada is nearing c’omplctlm. Here,in North York the work has progressed smoothly and satisfac- torily under a capable and efilcient staff and will be completed by the end of this week.

Where sharp critics see only weakness and failure, God sees all the longing and'the yearn- ing and<the striving. 'Dhere is another class'of people for whom something 'should be said. There can be no doubt that many people seem to take 'a de- light in putting their worst side out. They are afraid of being thought hypocrites; they have a horror of being thought better than they are. sThey speak gruf- fly and appear ridiculously rude, while all the time they are kindly and sympathetic. ,Think of Dr. Sam Johnson, the English essay- ist and philosopher, cross as a bear most of the time, impatient, brusk and irritable, yet all the while concealing as tender a heart as‘ever man had. In 1759, he wrote to his mother: “Neither your condition nor your character make it fit for me to say. much. You have been the best mother, and I believe the best woman in the world. ,I thank you for your in- dulgence to. me,-and beg forgive- ness for all that I have done ill, and all that I have omitted to do well.

Bedstraw, a weed commonly found in lowâ€"lying areas, is posing quite a problem for the farmer. So states Ken Fallis, Fieldman for the Crops Branch of the Ontario Department/of Agriculture. Be- cause of the dense mat formed by its stems, Bedstraw crowds out the surrounding grasses and clovers. In Octo'ber there are two common types: one having small white flowers, known as Northern Bed- straw and the other Golden Bed< straw whioh has small, bright yell- ow flowers. BEDSTRAW It is a perenniél Weed with a spreading root system. The pros- trate stems are square and woody, and form» a dense mat on the ground. According to Mr. Fallis, it spreads mainly "by root develop- ment and the mat formed by the weed gradually spreads and chokes out all other plants. whorls of four around *the stem. Bedstraw cannot; survive cultiva- tion and this is the key to its con- trol. In areas which can be cul- tivated, breaking up the land and growing a single grain crop will practically eradicate the weed, ac- cording to Mr. Fallis. \He points out that in natural grassland and long term meadows, close grazing by sheep is one means of control. However, cat- tle, which do not crop so closely, do not hawe the same effect. The leaves which are small, slen- der and pointed, are arranged in whorls of four around *the stem. Bedstraw cannot; survive cultiva- Bedstraw is resistant to most forms of chemical weed killers. However, Mr. Fallis points out that Bedstraw can be controlled. by ap- plications of weed killers sufficient. 1y strong to cause temporary ster- ility of the soil. This can be ac- complished by using Sodium Chlor- ate at rates of about 200 lbs. per acre. If this method is followed, field should be sown to grass as soon as-possible after the weed killer has leached out. Otherwise the barren field will become.in- fested with many other types of weeds which will be an even great- er menace.
