'Adequate transportation is vital to the growth and development of any disâ€" trict, and low transportation fares are an Over the years North .Yonge Trans. portation has yielded substantial operating profits which accrued to the benefit of tax- payers in the transportation area. In re- cent months due to increased operating costs these surpluses to which we have be- come accustomed have been verymaterial- 1y reduced, and suggestions have been heard that fares might be increased. 5642 YONGE ST. WILLOWDALE Telephone Willowdale 8165 Agricultural fairs are as old as re- :corded history. The first organized one in Canada was held at Windsor, Nova Scotia, in 1765. Since then fairs, predominantly agricultural, have spread westward until now there is an annual exhibition in hun- dreds of cities, towns and villages. They have made, and continue to make, an im- Richmond Hill’s own Fair is a spring event, but Markham, Schomberg and Woodbridge like the majority of Agricul- tural Societies throughout the province hold fall fairs. All are old established but up-to-date progressive institutions which are generously patronized and looked for- ward to with interest and anticipation ev- ery year. YOUR For some time publicity material for the Canadian National Exhibiton has been reaching our desk, and the familiar CNE posters have made their appearance throughout the countryside. All this is a sure reminder that the summer is fleet« ing' past, and that autumn and the fall fair season are approaching. The inconvenience will be most not- iceable when operations reach Yonge Street sometime after Labor Day. The As the Reeve’s message stated there will of necessity be some inconvenience during these operations. Streets will be cloied, traffic will be diverted, driveways wil be blocked, there will be noise and dust. A co-Operat-ive and efficient cen- tractor will keep these at a minimum, but there just has to be some disturbance of the ordinary way of life during‘a major undertaking of this extent. In our last issue Reeve William Neal on behalf of the municipal council of Richâ€" mond Hill directed a timely plea to the citizens generally for patience and co-op- eration during sewer installation opera- tions.

The increasing interest shown in ag- ricultural fairs by the general public has been most marked during the last decade and many of these visitors are genuinely interested in finding out more of Canada’s basic industry. They are too, the farmers’ customers and the more they can learn of farming and farm problems, the more un- derstanding there will be of the difficulties which farmers often face and the decisions they are called upon to make. Large or small, agricultural fairs are now well-established features of commun- ity life. Besides providing all the fun of the fair they are an ideal meeting-place for farmers in surrounding areas to gather and get some idea of what other farmers are doing and to find out what is new in agriculture. To the farm boys and girls they are often the culmination of weeks of work when their entries of livestock, grains, and other farm products are judg. ed. measurable contribution toward the 501i. darity and progress of Canada. When tempted to take a “beef” to the Reeve or council remember that this is just temporary inconvenience in order that the village may have years benefit from modern conveniences. It is during this period that the coun- cil asks the friendly and kindly indulgence of local people and those who use our vill- age streets. We are sure this will be gladly and whole-heartedly forthcoming. sewer will be dug on the west side of Yonge Street, and will be completed just as quickly as skill and modern machinery can combine to do the job. The sewer will be laid and the trench refilled but some time will have to elapse before the High- ways Department can carry out its plans for re-paving throughout the entire length of the village. AND DLDSMOBILE DEALER Freedom 71's omeâ€" of the figégic words of our language as slavery is detested. A man who had spent ‘The real slavery is inward. In the Bay of Naples are many of the most beautiful islands in the world. Even in the palmy days of ancient Rome the weathy built their beau- tiful palaces there where the scen- ery was perfect. On one of these fairy islands the Italian Govern- ment has a penal colony â€" the in- habitants are convicts; fettered, watched, driven and scourged. What does all the magnificent beauty mean to those prisoners? We imagine very little. They are unhappy and discontented because they are not free; unsurpassed scenery only exasperates them. Jesus sought to convince them that the real slavery was not pol- itical but spiritual. He said: “Ev- ery one that committeth sin is the bond-servant of sin,” and again, "Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.” In sub- stance Jesus said: “That which makes you slaves is not the Roman Empire but your ignorance, and evil passions. You want emanci- pation, but that is an inward more than an outward condition.” The Jews of Christ’s day felt acutely their poitical servitude to Rome. They hated it and time after time rebellions broke out: which were only subdued after se- vere fighting and much bloodshed. Terrible ‘scenes took place when- ever they held a patriotic anniver- sary. ' In Louis Fischer’s “Life of Ma- hatma Gandhi" he shows how of‘ ten Gandhi antagonized his Indian friends by refusing to join savage attacks against the British. Much as he wanted India to be indepen- dent he knew that political freedom was not nearly as important as be- ing worthy of it. He said: “I am not interested in freeing India from the British yoke. I am bent on freeing India from any yoke whatever.” It was not the British who worried Gandhi so much as the hotheads and vicious men of his own country. As a matter of fact he had a deep-seated respect and admiration for British char- acter; what he worried over was whether his people were ready for self-government. He knew that passing all the resolutions in the world were empty and vein if they were not inwardly observed. has assigned a new UN.

The Apostle Paul wrote many of his letters in jail and John Bunyan penned his Pilgrim’s Progress while behind prison walls. All of which shows that you can’t put a man’s soul in jail. Is it possible for us to reach a condition where we shall really deâ€" light to do the right thing? Well, some of us have a long way to go but that is our goal. There is the perfect einancipatlon. I am sure I have known some people for whom to do right was second nature. They had reached a stage in their spiritual development where their impulses and motives were sound and Wholesome. And the people who arrive there are free; emanci- pated and happy. When a critic told Tennyson that he obeyed the laws of good poetry, the poet replied: “I am glad I do observe these laws but I never knew it."

You see a good typist at work. She doesn't hesitate, a beginner does and plods along uncertainly and it sounds like static on the radio. But a first-class typist does it correctly without the slightest hesitation. One of the strangest misconcep- tions of religion is to think «I it as a straight-jacket -â€" something which simply restrains and sub- dues. True religion makes for lib- erty.

If this is done the seeds will re- tain their vitality for years. In talking about the planting of the iris bulb Mr. Little said that the iris rhizome, the fleshy bulbous parts should be about one inch below the surface, not as has of- ten been said like a ‘duck on water’l In discussing the sowing of del- phinium seed, Mr. Little said that while many people prefer to sow the seed during the month of Aug- ust, he would rather sow his own seed in the Spring of the year. At present he has a nice lot of bloom from seed that was sown last March. Delphlnium seed will lose its vitality if it’s kept in the open, so Mr. Little suggests that it be kept in the refrigerate: at a temperature of about fifty degrees. If this is done the seeds will re- tain their vitality for years. Mr. Little, interviewed by Earl Cox, told of the aims and the work of the American Delphinium Soc- iety as well as talking about the Iris and Delphinium in which he specializes. “The American Del- phinium Society, said Mr. Little is a non-profit organization made up of people who are devoted to grow- ing better delphimum and it iss- ues a Year Book, and four Quar~ terly Bulletins which contain help- ful articles on all different phases of delphinium culture.” Quite a lot of shows are held in various parts of the United States and Canada and it is hoped to stage a Delphinium Show in Toronto next year, which will be official head- quarters of the society at that time.
