B THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Thursday, July 19, 1951 The books, specially designed and printed, and distinctively bound for the navy, Army and Airforce will be supplied through the Chaplaincy Department, 0t- tawa. The present edition will number 20,000 copies and the Bible Society has un- dertakentto provide whatever additional quantities are requested by the Principal Chaplains. The Bible Society has for over a. century supplied free copies of Scripture for the Armed Services and for prisoners of war. One of its first undertakings was to distribute on Christmas Eve 1804 (the year of its foundation). copies of Holy 'A special edition of the New Testa- ment‘and Psalms has been prepared for free distribution among Canada’s armed forces â€" according to a. statement issued by the BritiSh and Foreign Bible Society in Canada. Already, in six months, street and highway accidents in the province have killed at least 382 people, compared with last year’s six-month total of 278. Traffic Midway through 1951, Ontario faces the ominous prospect that by the end of the year more than 1,000 people may have lost their liVes in the year’s traffic acci- dents. The project was first submitted to the people in a vote back in December, 1949, and the verdict was in favor of going ahead with the project. After some months delay the Ontario Municipal Board directed another vote must be taken, with the question worded just somewhat difâ€" ferently to the former vote. Again the verdict was in favor of sewers. Tenders were called for, but by this time increased prices brought the lowest tender above the amount formerly submitted to the Board as an estimate. Another delay of some months followed to secure permission of the Ontario Municipal Board. Final approval for Richmond Hill’s sewer construction project at a cost of Sewers have been the subject of con- sideration in municipal circles here for a long time. This was an improvement which municipal councils in recent years have recognized as one which must come sbme- time to meet the needs of this fast-grow- ing community. In the case of Richmond Hill’s plans for the construction of a system‘ of sani- tary sewers the many delays caused by the supervising hand of the Ontario Municipal Board have proven very costly to the taxâ€" payers of Richmond Hill. The Ontario Municipal Board is a body with wide powers of supervision over municipal affairs in this~province. It has functioned for many years under adminis- trations of difi'erent political parties and no doubt has served a useful purpose in the municipal life of Ontario. Doubtless in the majority of cases its supervision and counsel have been valuable to munici- palities. Summer is holiday time for many and no doubt this is the best season to get away from it all. More and more busm- ess places in this country are closing up completely for a week to give empIOyees a holiday. Even retail stores are beginning to follow this practice which is becoming common in the case of factories, ware- houses and offices. Being closed for a week in summer, oddly enough, does not seem to cut down on the volume of busi- Canadian summer is out-of-doors time. Picnics, sports days, week-ends at the lake and homes open wide to the el- ements are among the features of the sea- son. We have wondered sometimes why any indoor gatherings at all should be held during our short period of fine weather. Why not church, for example, in the open air? We have so little warm weather in this country that it seems a pity to miss an);l of it by being cooped up inside four wa s. l For most of us Canadians summer is a real holiday even though we may be un- able to get away from our regular work. For a couple of months anyway we are di- vorced from the onerous chore of shovel]- ing coal and emptying ashes. Little jobs like mowing the lawn or weeding the gar- den seem pleasant in comparison. Inhabitants of northern countries such as ours appreciate the summertime all the more because it is relatively short. In more favored climates, California for instance, where according to the natives summer is an all-year-round season, the summer months cannot mean so much. For generations the song, “In The Good Old Summertime,” has been popular, not so much because it is a catchy piece of music but because it extolls What is for most people the favorite time of the year. 1n Independent Weekly â€" Established 1878 Subscription Rate $2.50 per year; to the United States $3.00 Member Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association J.

And the worst is yet to come. Safety officials warn that summer holidays and the early fall always have larger accident we thihk the Lekislatui‘e sfiofiid take to review the functions of the Board and speed-up its operations. It seems too bad therefore that it took long months of negotiations and hearings to clear the way of Ontario Municipal Board red tape. It has been a costly de- lay for Richmond Hill taxpayers, and as the Ontario Municipal Board was intended to help municipalities, not hinder them, The Ontario Municipal Board no doubt is necessary in the general set-up of our municipal administration in Ontario. but surely there should be some stream-lining of its operations to deal more expeditious- ly with the affairs of local municipalities. There never was any real doubt as to the need of a sewer system in Richmond Hill, no doubt as to the financial ability of the municipality to finance the undertak- ing and no doubt as to the wishes of the people on the matter. Red Tape Not only have the tenders of contrac- tors increased by many thousands of doll- ars since first called'for by the village cou'ncil, but now the council finds it must sell its debentures on a money market much less favorable than that which ob- tained a year or even a few months ago. Debentures which could have been sold readily a year ago bearing 3 per cent inâ€" terest must now bear a much higher rate of interest. some $350,000 came a couple of weeks ago, and the final result is that due to the long delay occasioned by the requirements of the Ontario Municipal Board the taxpay- ers of Richmond Hill will pay during the next twenty years many thousands of exâ€" tra dollars. Summertime in Canada is a wonderful season and we are fortunate in having only a short one. We never lose the zest for summer living because we never have, too much of it. For school youngsters summertime ls synonymous with freedom. Perhaps un- fortunately efforts are continually bemg made to organize through camps and va- cation schools the free time of youngsters during the summer vacation. We think that this can be carried too far. Children need a change, just as adults do. The best part of the long summer holidays,- if you remember your own childhood, was the freedom from having to do anything in particular. ~ Perhaps that’s just bad child psychology, but for the kids it can be fun. If one must have a stay-at-home holi- day, the thing to do is change one’s whole routine. A pleasant holiday can be spent right here in our home town but only if the holidayer gets away from doing the things he ordinarily would do during his usual work week. , A schedule for holi- days should include sleeping in each morn- ing, staying up past bedtime each night, eating when one feels like it, doing some of the things one hasn’t had time for be‘ cause of the demands of work. Followmg- a changed routine will be a rest. For each individual summer holidays should mean a complete change. It is a good thing to get away from one’s custo- mary haunts, see something of the rest of this great country of ours, meet new peop- le, do new things. Surprising how new contacts and new scenes give a person new ideas and something new to think about and talk about. nes's handled. Rather by giving manage- ment and employees a rest more is accom- plished and more efficiently than under the old staggered holiday system. Newspapers recently carried a story of a youth who lived near a dangerous canal and had saved eighteen lives. He was decorated with a medal and given public rec- ognition. He deserved it, for much interest in the welfare of other: is wonderful. But the number of people who have such physical strength and opportunities is not large. In the larger sphere of or. dinary life hardly a day goes by that does not afford an opportun- ity of passing on some kindness to another. When the disciples ask- ed Jesus who was the greatest in Many years afterward this boy became influential and was able to help his benefactor’s son, who was in great difficulty. It gave him great pleasure to do this, for one of the mottoes of his; life had bc‘ come: “Pass it on.” ' A wise and good man said: “I see two great heaps in this world â€" one of human happiness and the other of human misery. If it is possible for me to take the small- est bit from the heap of misery and add it to the other, I shall be happy. If, for instance, I find a. child who has lost a cent, and by giving him another I can wipe away his tears, I have done some- thing.” “There is one thing you can do,” was the reply, “and if you promise to do it, I shall be fully repaid for any little thing I have don for you. This is a difficult wor d for some people, and many are having a hard time. Will you pass on the kindness I have shown to you to sbmebody else ? That is all I ask.” A man on board noticed that the lad did not appear at mealtimes. He got into conversation with him, and when he found out that he could not afford meals, he bought them for him. The boy was ex- tremely grateful, and when the time came to part, he asked the man if there was anything he could do to repay him. A boy living in the south of England, whose parents had died, was thrown upon his own resour- ces very early in life. He was told that if he~could make his way to London he would find employment. So he decided to go by boat, at that time the cheapest way to travel. A man on board noticed that the lad did not appear at mealtimes. He got into conversation with him. “He that is greatest among you shall be your servant.” It is a good practice, when we hear something good about a per- son. to pass it along. The man or woman hasn’t been born who does not welcome a few words of appre- ciation. We can’t \irculate too many good things about a worthy person. It does them good and it does us good to put pleasant things into circulation.‘ With a smile and the words “I have no speech to make but I have a. million dollars ,. . . here it is!” Byron Price, U.N.

A few years ago a friend in- vited me to go with him to a book- sellers convention in the Pennsyl- vania. Hotel in New York City. There were four or five hundred men there who were booksellers; they were on the road all the time selling books. I found it most in- teresting. Dozens of men spoke, some advocating a wide use of newspaper ads., others distribution of circulars and many other meth- ods of Which I had never even heard. General agreement was finally reached that the very best means of promotion was by word of mouth. A man or woman enâ€" joys a book and they tell their friends and their friends pass on the word to others and that is how books become best-sellers. I have before me now a news- paper article written by a lady who has been a victim of infantile paralysis practically all her life. Partly as a means of earning a living and to give herself an in- terest in life, she has done some writing. Here is what she writes: “Speaking frpm experience I would say that, words of appreciation do for one’s spirit what vitamins 00 for the body.” Our quotation for Thoreau: the kingdom of heaven, he said: “He that is greatest among you shall be your servant.” It is a good practice, when we é f léI-EMLCEE LET YOUR HEART DECIDE Well, she ought to ;pl wvrr '1: ~41sz 111mm l'.\‘l}3 A ms I A mu- NATIONS EUNfb‘S :3‘5. kill time without in- 27 June 195] know! today is by 161% OAYI I Voices In The Air In one instance at least, a loud- speaker was used in an emergency to direct men on the ground to car- ry‘a badly injured logger to a spot where he could be picked up By 1he aircraft. Another difiiculty facing Lands and Forests pilots is in distin- guishing from the air the search- ers from the person being sought. -With a loudâ€"hailer the pilot can request anyone on the ground to make a certain signal if they are the one being searched for or re- quest them to move out of the area temporarily, to avoid con- fusion, until it has been combed or “hailed” from the air. Many times each year Depart- ment planes are called in to search for persons lost in the woods. One of the difficulties in locating them has been the fact that those lost usually are stumbling around in dense forest and cannot be seen from the air. Loudspeakers, it is believed, will enable the pilot to make himself heard over a wide area and direct the lost and hid- den person to head in a certain direction for a clearing and stay there, make a smudge fire where it won’t ignite the forest and so and matches. Officers of the For- est Protection Division say that they also have good fire supjares- sion possibilities in that fire crews who might lack a portable radio can be given oral instructions from an officer in the plane who is able to see the over-all progress of the fire. The speakers have already been used on fire prevention work in some areas to caution campers and woods workers -â€" on the spot â€" to be careful with fires, cigarettes The loudspeaker units can be in- stalled or removed within five minutes. Further installations, other than those now underway will depend upon on the results ob- tained and the number of aircrafl equipped with camera batches. For some time now the Depart- ment has been experimenting With a loud-speaker attachment on some of its aircraft by means of which the pilot can communicate directly with persons on the ground below. Briefly, it consists of a micrOphone into which the pilot speaks and a loudspeaker fitted into an aperture of the plane normally housing an aerial _camera. Backed up by 9. loo-watt amplifier the pilot :an make his voice heard plainly on the ground from an altitude Of 1800 feet and over a five-mile radius. At the present time aircraft in the Kenora, Kapuskasing and .Sault Ste. Marie Districts have been equipped with the loud-hailers and a plane at Parry Sound is to be fitted with one shortly. Six addi- tional units are being assembled by Department radio technicians for aircraft in Temiska‘ning, Sud- bury, North Bay, Algonquin, Port Arthur and Geraldton Districts. It is planned to have these in opera- tion in the near future. It’s all part of the Department’s plan, officials explain, of bringing science into play to cut down on the number of forest fires that are caused by careless people: those who neglect their campfires or fail to realize that a lighted cigarette butt can destroy thousands of ac- res of valuable timber and ruin the beauty, the fishing and hunting of an area for years to come. Instead, sit quietly and listen to what it is saying. The chances are that you will be actually hear~ ing things â€" and from the sky â€" but the voice will, in all probabil- ity, be emanating from a. sleek yellow plane, bearing the insignia of the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests, Air Service Division, on patrol a thousand or more feet in the air and perhaps a couple of miles away. Plenty of anglers, vacationists, bushworkers and hunters will prob- ably be startled this season when they hear sameone loudly address- ing them from high overhead, and Department fire control officers say that’s just what they want them to be â€" “startled.” If you are in the quiet sohtudes of the Ontario Wilderness this sunnner and suddenly hear a loud voice coming at you from out of the sky, don$ get pankky and start heading for the nearest psy- chiatrist to have your head exam- ined.
