SAM COOK, Edito: ' The loyal and affectionate outpouring of‘goodwill and the whole-hearted approv- al that greeted their Royal Highnesses, E1. izabeth and Philip, from sea to sea, across this great Dominion, is indeed a personal tribute. And the wonder of it all, is that the c eering of the crowds, the ceremon- ies an the gifts were all given freely and affectionately from the hearts of her fa- ther’s, the King’s, loyal subjects. The handsome, debonair, understand- ing and clever Philip is every inch a royal consort, a loving husband and father. El- izabeth’s enduring qualities, not only her charm and dignity, but her noble living and devotion to duty bring us to the real- ization of a need of a higher level of affecâ€" tionate service to others, and enrich our lives, and brighten our hopes. “The tumult and the shouting dies; The captains and the kings depart; Still stands Thine ancient sacrifice A humble and a contrite heart.” In 1897, at the close of Queen Victor- ia's Diamond Jubilee, Rudyard Kipling wrote these sobering and challenging lines. In 1951, as Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip leave our shores after a memorable visit across. Canada, and to the capital of the United States our thoughts turn to the Crown, and to our Motherland. Today the ROyal Family symbolizes the family of freedom-loving nations that is the Com- monwealth.- Too few of our young people under 16 years of age realize that if they smoke they are actually committing an offence under the Canadian Criminal Code. We all know that boys especially, during their adolescence are often seriously tempted to sneak the odd smoke away from their parents’ gaze. However for their OWn physical well being and the general moral level of the community really young per- sons should not be allowed to openly and continually smoke in public. The framers of the Criminal Code must have had this very thought in mind when they empow- ered police officers to seize any, cigarettes or tobacco being used by any person under 16 years of age on a street or in a public place. Such persons if found guilty are also subject to aAfine. .-_. The present government and the Lib- eral party each have a candidate in every riding in the province, each makes claims to victory, but that decision rests where it should rest, with the people. The third party, the C.C.F. has 3. lim- ited number of candidates but ouside of a few ridings has little chance of success and It is a healthy state of democracy when those who disapprove of a govern- ment have available a good alternative: The people of Ontario are fortunate at this time to have available as an alternative to the Conservative government, a vigorous well organized Liberal party under an able and energetic leader, Walter Thomson, Yofing people are not the only ones who are liable to prosecution, storekeepers This practice of free elections is one of the fundamentals of our democracy, and only where people have been indifferent to their duty in this regard, have the lights of freedom and democracy gone out. Here in Ontario the Frost government is appealing for re-election on the strength of its record of administration. This rec- ord has been placed before the people with a generous advertising campaign and it is for the people to judge and vote accord- ingly. Many will agree to place a stamp of approval on this record, and many will feel otherwise. Our democratic system 0f government gives our people the periodic opportunity of electing those who will carry on the public business of the province. The el- ecting of these representatives to the Leg- islature is an important duy of good cit- izenship. Next Thursday the peOple of Ontario have this opportunity, and it is the duty of every eligible voter to go to the polls and mark a ballot. ‘ THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Thursday NOV., 15, 1951 RICHVALE PAY ONE THIRD DOWN a BALANCE IN 12 EASY PAYMENTS .

Mr. Thomson’s Hospital plan is an answer to a problem which touches at the very heart of our family life. His willing- ness to face up to any problem appeals to many of us who believe that just becouse something has been done one way for a long time, is no reason for smugly saying something better can’t be done. How envious the Kremlin, the Perons, and others of the nations who “put their trust in reeking tube and iron shard, and guarding call not on Thee to guard” must ’be. The depressed, hopeless, tortured and suffering of these unfortunate countries must look longineg for the day when such gay and democratic demonstrations of love and all the comforts and privileges exemâ€" plified in them, would usher in God’s pur- pose and fulfilment for them and all His people o’er all the earth. - . . You have tightened the bonds be- tween us.” We see this Royal Elizabeth and her consort as a link in the chain of British freedom stretching from Magna Charta to the present, and connecting the glorious spiritual, cultural, and scientific achieve. ments of man in all corners of the earth. “Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, “Lest we forget â€"â€" Lest we forgetl” who directly or indirectly sell, give. or fur- nish cigarettes or tobacco to anyone under 16 years of age are laying themselves open to legal action. Medical authorities have continually stated that excessive smoking by adults can prove injurious and this is even more true in the case of young people. Just recently Medical Research has raised the question that smoking may be a prime cause of lung cancer. Young people should be discouraged as much as possible to refrain from smok- ing until such time as they have reached full maturity. Such a policy will certain- ly pay huge dividends in both improved health and money saved. Richmond Hill’s Constable Robbins has had complaints from several quarters President Truman’s tribute was his- toricaily siginificant. “This country is built upon principles which we inherited from the British peopleâ€"our love of liberâ€" ty, our system 0f justice which is based up- on the E1 glish common law, our language . . . . Over the years we have built these ties into a remarkable international friend- ship. We have had our differences in the past, but today, it would be just as hard to imagine a war between our countries as to imagine another war between the states of this country. Itrjust couldn’t happen. of character and reputation and inspired by the highest motives in public service in offering themselves as candidates. The C.C.F. candidate is not a resident of the riding and cannot make any serious appeal for North York support. For these reasons We urge a Liberal vote next Thursday, but whatever your voting decision, remember it is a first duty of good citizenship to VOTE. - â€" - --*-â€"--u vv 9 The practical choice of the electors next Thursday rests between the two polâ€" itical parties which throughout our history have served well the province 6f Ontario. It is fortunate indeed that those who wish a new administration can vote effectively against the present government without voting for a party as tinged with socialism as the OCR _ ,l _ . there is no likelihood at all of the party forming a governman _ on: van. V-v.- Ontario is fortunate that it is served by two political parties headed by men like Premier Frost and Walter Thomson. Both are men of character and reputation and with the highest motives in public life. North York is fortunate too in having“ can- didates like Major Mackenzie and Elmer Grose. Like their leaders they are men in this matter and he states that he in- tends to discourage both the practice of selling tobacco products to minors, and of young people smoking in public. AiVEiiNA SMITH, Associate Editor c Single Copy TELL THEM S0 One of the greatest preachers of the Nineteenth Century was Dr. W. R. Dale of Birmingham, Eng- land. He once visited Australia and while preaching there said he thought it was a good thing for people to express their affection for those they, loved/ “If you love people,” he declared, “don’t be af- raid to tell them so. It will be good for them and for yourself.” E1mun“unmuummum“mummuuummnummmumumma tionally, they go to the other ex- treme. Thomas Carlyle was in- clined to be a “dour” man â€"- the opposite of sentimental, but after his mother’s death this letter was found addressed to her by her fam- ous son: Well knOWn North York citizen with a long record of suc- cessful municipal service who'is the Liberal candidate in North York. His record proves that he is a man who believes in action â€" in getting things done, and in his appeal to the electors he pledges his best effort to bring about a solution to the many perplexing problems of North York and Ontario. “My' dear good mother, let it ever be a comfort to you, however weak you are, that you did your part ,Jhonourably and well while in strength, and were'a nobler mother to me and to us all. I am now my- self grown old, and have had var- ious things to do and suffer for so many years; but there is nothing I ever had to be so much thankful for as the mother I had. This is a truth which I know well, and per- haps this day again it may be some comfort to you. Yes surely, An account of this sermon got back to England and at a great welcome-home meeting, which the Birmingham congregation gave Dr. Dale on his return, there was a large streamer across the hall with words: “We love you and we tell you so." It was a nice thing for those people to do .and it would be a happier world if more people took his adqice. There must be millions of parched souls who thirst for love and sympathy. some comfort to you.

And if In these few ears thatrmay remain to me I am to get any more writ- ten for the world, the essence of it, so far as it is worthy and good, will still be yours. May God reâ€" ward you, my dearest mother, for all you have done for me. I never can.” Lack of appreciation is lack of bought more than anything else. We all take so much for granted. The inventor, Morse, after his dis- covery of the telegraph said he had received endless criticism arid ridicule but he could not recall any encouragement until after his in- vention was completed. It is said that when James Garâ€" field was installed as President of the United States, he insisted that his aged mother should be at the ceremony; when it was complete, in the presence of them all, he turned and kissed her withered cheek. If any man is tempted to set lightly by his father 01' his mother because his name has been set on high, let him remember James Garfield and Thomas Car- lyle. Sir James Barrie was a busy man and inclined to be somewhat brusque, yet his tenderness to. his mother was apparent to all who knew him. In this respect he re- sembled Lord Haldane â€"â€" a chan- cellor of the Exchequer during the First World War â€" who wrote a letter to his mother every day for forty-seven years. It doesn’t take much to make people happy but often the few gracious words, just don’t come. A little praise is like oil in machin- ery; it keeps things running smoothly. I remember attending a Toronto church many years ago when the sermon was followed by a beauti- ful solo. In announcing the elos- ing‘ hymn the minister said: “If I had heard that solo earlier, I could have preached a better sermon.” It was a gracious tribute and made a fine impression. When a charming young lady visited Dean Hole, who had a pass- ion for horticulture, he said, “Please come out into my garden, I want my roses to see you.”_ The Editor, The Liberal, Richmond Hill, Ont. Dear Sir: Your suggestion that candidates for municipal office declare them- selves at an early date rather than wait until Nomination Day is a good one. There is all too little time for candidates, particularly new ones, to get to know their e1- ectors prior to voting day. Encouraged by the very fine sup- port given me on my first attempt last year, I am again seeking elec- tion as Councillor for the Village of Richmond Hill on December 3. Should the electors choose to place me in office, it will be my sincere endeavour to serve them to the best of my ability. Yours very truly, Jack Rice, 104 Richmond Street 14 New Members At Aux.
