SAM COOK, Editor The right of the people to choose their representatives in Parliament is one of the fundamentals of our democi‘actic system. The privilege of free elections is one that is denied to millions of people living be- ' A general election in Ontario has been called for Thursday, November 22, with Official nomination day on Thursday, Nov- ember 8. Premier Frost has been in office since May 4, 1949 and he will be facing the people of Ontario for the first time as lead- er of his party. The last provincial elec- tion was in June 1948 and in the ordinary course of events an election would not likely be held until next year. However Premier Frost stated in his election an- nouncement that as he never had a man- date as premier from the people of Ontario he felt it best to have an election. This was a reasonable conclusion and we agree that in line with the workings of our demâ€" ocratic system of government it was a sound decision. CORRESPONDENT: Mrs. W.

It is a privilege and a right responsibility which is ours and should not be treated lightly. The period- ical election 9f representatives to the Leg- islature is an important duty of good citâ€" izenshipi In all elections there is altogether too little interest by the great majority of our people, and on election day altogether too many people are indifferent to their res- ponsibilities and do not even bother to go to the polls to mark a ballot. This is a condition which never should exist in a democracy, and it is a condition which must not be allowed to continue in our democracy in these days of threats from other ideologies. The election campaign now on should not be regarded as an unneccessary inter- uption to our every-day business and social life. It is important business which should demand the careful thought and attention of all good citizens. United Church 99 yrs. At Its Thornhill Site Thornhill United Church was beautifully decorated with baby mums and fall flowers last Sunday when the congregation celebrated the 99th anniversary of the church at the present site. The roots of this congregation go back to 1803 when a Methodist circuit rider held the first religious service in the district. The present church was erected at Langstaif in 1838 and moved to the present site in 1852. Since then it has been altered and recently additional facilities have been provided. when a Methodist c1rcu1t meet new the first religious service in the district. The present church was erected at Langstaif in 1838 and moved to the present site in 1852. Since then it has been altered and recently additional facilities have been provided. Already plans are being made for the Centennial of the site and Rev. E. E. Pugsley, a former min- ister, has consented to be guest speaker. Registration of all persons 70 years of age and over has been successfully undertaken and ad- ministrative preparations have been well advanced to provide prompt payment from January 1952 to all eligible persous. In the first year it is estimated this will benefit seven hundred thousand Canadians. This legislation fol- lows that of last session which provided for pensions to persons between the ages of 65 and 70. On Sunday the guest minister was Rev. K. I; Cleator, B.A., B. D., S.T.M., associate minister of Bloor St. United Church who chose for his sermon in the morning “Making the Church a Non-con. formist”. The music was excellent with the junior choir singing an old German number “Do You Know?” and the senior choir singing an an- them Iby Roberts “Seek thee the Lord” with Mr. J. Oliver, tenor, as soloist. Mrs. L. Burke rendered MacDer‘mid’s “9151‘. Psalm”. In the evening the sermon by Rev. Cleator was “Getting Christianity out of its Cubby Holes”. The jun- ior choir sang the anthem “Hushed for the Evening Hymn,” and the senior choir sang “The Radiant Morn.” A large congregation at- cussed the educational aspect of the museum and showed specimens from the museum up to two thousand years old. Music was supplied by Mrs. C. Harding, Miss June Harding and Mrs. J. Large. The next meeting of the club at Patterson school on November 22 will be addressed by a speaker, and on November 30 a Square Dance will be held at Maple Creek Lodge, with Mr. Geo. Kellough in charge. The Home Baking sale held last Saturday under the direction of Mrs. J. Leppers was reported a great success. tended both the services. The visit of Their Royal Higfh. nesses, the Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh, has pretty well dominated the Canadian scene in recent weeks, and the unquali- fied success of the tour is a matter of great satisfaction here and to all who in any way were respon- sible for making the trip possible. The Princess and the Duke have been just wonderful and the en- thusiasm and sincerity of the Can- adian welcome has deeply impress- ed the Royal couple and the world. The importance of the success- ful tour cannot hoover-estimated. It has demonstrated our loyalty to the Crown and the treasured fun- damentals of our dem0cracy, it has quickened our national spirit, inâ€" spired greater pride in our natiOn- al greatness and told the world in no uncertain terms that We prize highly our ties with Britain and the Commonwealth. In these days of anxiety in the realm of international affairs sucn convincing demonstrations by our people are very encguraging. We should have more 0 them, Your government is very happy and proud to have hid the privilege of arranging Royal tour in Canada of our future Queen and her husband. Sessional Program (2) To make one feel adequate one needs the feeling of achieve- ment in one’s undertaking, there- fore try the small before the large tasks. Learn to stand on your own feet. Do not punish a child for showing resentment or anger at not succeeding but help him achieve his goal. (3) To know self worth one must first receive recognition of worth in one’s own family, outsiders’ ap- preciation is not enough. One must feel one’s own worth in order to value individual personality. Out- siders can help by giving one the opportunity to express opinions in organizations. The most difficult wound soldiers had to hear was that of lack of recognition for their efi‘orts on the part of civil- ians. If one tries to encourage others one attains satisfaction one- self. Achievement in hobbies is an outlet for self-worth. Poor con- trol of emotions may make one become physically ill. Encourage pleasant emotions, laughing, play- ing, joy, etc. Avoid depressing subjects and programs. Get prop- er outlet for energies, anger and fear increase with use of such emotions and will spread among crowds as will joy and laughter. Train yourself to make the good emotions the prominent ones. It will pay dividends in health and The second session of Parliam- ent this year was'called primarily to pass the necessary legislation to provide increased security for our older citizens through payment of pensions, without a. means test and as a matter of right, to all Canadians over t'he age of 70, and, establish a. fund made up of spec- ial contributions levied for that purpose.

On October 19 the Centre Dis- trict Conference of the Women’s Institute was held in Aurora Un- ited Church. The subject “They call it human nature" was taken by Miss McBride and proved to be of great interest to [her aud- ience of some sixty-five persons. The speaker chose to divide her subject into four parts: Confiding; Inadequacy; Self Worth; Contro‘. of Emotions. The international situation can- tinues to give grave concern to all and our national effort to provide security for or people continues to take top priority in all legis- lative and administrative busin- ess. The North Atlantic Nations are steadily increasing their com. bined strength in a determined ef- fort‘ and fervent hope to maintain peace. The measure of Canada’s Temperanceville United Church basement was the scene of 3, del- icious turkey supper on October 17, served under the aspices of the W.A. By all reports received from those in attendance, there were some 300 persons; the meal was immensely enjoyed. From the members of the committee apprec- iation is extended to all those who so generously contributed toward the food required and to those who assisted with the work essen- tial. to taking the supper a success. . During the evening films on Can- adian scenes and industries were shown by Mr. DeWitt of the Nat- ional film board. Turkey Supper CORRESPONDENT: MRS. ED. PAXTON, R. R. 3, KING TEMPERANCEVILLE NEWS 0T’I‘AWA LETTER by Jack , Smith, North York Phone King 3R11 contribution to this combined ef- fort is a matter which wi‘-l have consideration of Parliament at this session. The concern of all our people over the high cost of living has already found expression here, and the concern of our people over these rising costs resulting from international and domestic infla- tionary pressures is fully shared by the government and all mem- bers of Parliament. 'Ilhe matter is receiving constant study and consideration and the government will not hesitate to take any steps which are in the best interest of the people and which they believe will be effec- tive. The government will not in- stitute controls, just for the sake of having controls, even though such a step night relieve the pressure from groups which clamâ€" our for some kind of control over prices. If at any time it is felt that controls will help the situa tion the government will not hes- itate to bring in the necessary regulations as it did during war years. A major national project under active consideration is the deve10p- ment of both the seaway and pow- er phases of the St. Lawrence Riv- er devalopment. The government is in real earnest on this matter and it is now well assured that the great seaway in not too far disâ€" tent future will be a reality and a great boon to central Ontario and all Canada. Pensions Adjustments in basic pensions for veterans and their dependants will receive attention early this session. I have received many representations on the matter and I wish to assure‘all who have ex- pressed concern that I am satisfied the necessary revision will have the sympathetic consideration of the government and that increases will be made which will meet with general approval. During the next eight or nine weeks I will be in Ottawa and I hope constituents will feel very free to write me on any matter of local or national concern. If I can be of any assistance to anyone in the riding of Norbh York at any time it will continue to be a great pleasure and privilege. My address here is J. E. SMITH, M.P., Par- liament Buildings, Ottawa, and no postage is required on letters. Most Week-ends I will be in Richmond Hill and will be available at my theme or office. happiness. » Miss McBride spoke of the tools used in hospitals to help the men- tally ill and to detect the ailment. She emphasized the need to see a doctor in the early stages of men- tal illness. Miss Irene Mashinter was aw- arded the five-day course at the 0.A.C. for her work on the Garden Brigade Projects. Each of the oth- er girls taking the project in this community were given a silver spoon. ’llhese presentations took place at the luncheon held in hon- or of the Garden Brigade girls of North York by the North Toronto Kiwanis Club on Monday, October 25.

CAPO 5000 “Dear Mr. Editor” Trustees of Unionville Police Vilage acting in response to a res~ olution passed at a ratepayers meeting protested to Markham Township council against the pro- posed erection of a new machinery building on a site next the Crosby arena. The building 'will be of concrete and brick and council as- sured the trustees it would be an attractive structure, and that the grounds would be fenced and well kept. The Township has called for tenders for the erection of the building. Unionville Opposes Twp. Building Site This story took place in the year 1925, when two elderly ladies, Mrs. Joyce McGowen and Mrs. Marie Mercer decided to take a trip to Eumpe. They Were about ten miles from the main city and stop- ped at a hotel for the night. The manager invited them into the sit- ting room while he finished prepar- ing their rooms. There they rest- ed and talked about the things they had seen and done. Do you believe in ghosts? No? Well, neither do I. At least I didn’t until I heard this story. Even now I am not certain if there are such things. For some reason Mrs. McGowen left the room. This left Mrs. Mercer to do as she pleased until the rooms were ready. While she was looking at a row of books, she had a feeling she was being watch- ed. She happened to glance to- wards the fireplace Where she saw a fleeting shadow, which she thought most certainly to be a ghost. All of a sudden she let out a most unearthly Scream, which had both her companion and the clerk running into the room. But the shadow [had disappeared before they reached it. Mrs. Mercer was very pale and nearly ready to col- lapse when they entered. She told them what had happened and de- cided that she would leave as soon as she had her bags gathered. The clerk said that whatever she saw was perfectly harmless, but she was determined to leave and she went. A delegation and color party from Richmond Hill Branch No. 375 Canadian Legion B.E.S.L. at- tended the District E2 Convention held at Collingwood, October 21, 1951. ’Iihere .were 175 registered delegates in attendance with 21 branches represented. The parade moved off at 10.30 am. headed by the Collingwood pipe band and pro- ceeded to Collingwood United Church. After the service the par- ade marched to the cenotaph where an impressive ceremonial to our fallen comrades was conducted. It was believed that many years ago, the first owner of the hotel was murdered in the same place where the ghost was seen and ev- erytime anyone appeared in the room the figure followed to;see if the person in the room was the same one that killed his body. Veterans of Richmond Hill and district join with the Canadian Le- gion Branch: No. 375 and Ladies Auxiliary 375 in extending to their friend, Mr. J. E.
