PAED., LL.D., MINISTER OF EDUCATION OF THE PROV- INCE OF ONTARIO WILL BE THE SPEAKER OF THE EVENING THE RICHMOND HILL DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOL THE OFFICIAL OPENING OF THE NEW WING OF THE HIGH SCHOOL THE ONE PROBLEM common to all bus!- nessmen is â€" how to keep sales volume at a satisfactory level. This can be overcome to a great extent by carefully planned advertls- ing. As a control medium advertising can be of considerable value in keeping sales at an economic level. Retail merchants now- ever, especially those in small communities are confronted with the need of a very flex- ible advertiing medium. One that can be used regularly throughout the entire year, yet pliable enough to suit the needs of the moment. Also, it must be one that can be tailored to fit any budget and at the same time give maximum coverage. Due to fluc- tuating prices it must be advertising that can be planned to reach the buying public within two or three days. Newspaper Advertising is the advertising vehicle that has proved beyond doubt to be of greatest value to retail merchants. It fills all their requirements and has been the most important, single factor, in the success of so many. The Liberal is at your service. We publish a well printed weekly paper that will give your advertising very good coverage in this area. A phone call to Richmond Hill 9 will bring a representative to your door.

Despite Mr. Churchill's personal ill-health, the well-being of the cause of freedom was so much greater than it had been that the Prime Minister’s sanguine tem- perament could not be dampened, and optimism and hope reveal themselves in almost every mess- age. It is interesting to note that on October 3, 1943, the Prime Min- ister could take time to concern himself briefly with Basic English. And looking back over the other 4 volumes after reading this, one becomes more than ever aware of the tremendous readh and grasp of Churchill's mind â€"â€" and of the dynamo of energy that drives it. How punctilious he is in co-oper- ating with others in plans he dis- agrees with, how tenacious he is of Britain’s rights â€" and how very often he gets his own way! This volume takes us from the summer of 1943 to the evening of June 5, 1944, with final armada of ‘Overlord’ converging on the secret rendezvous south of the Isle of Wight. Churchill writes: “While I sat in my chair in the map room of the Annexe, the thrilling news of the capture of Rome arrived. The immense cross- Channel enterprise for the liber- ation of France had begun. All the ships were at sea. We had the mastery of the oceans and of the air. “The Hitler tyranny was doom- ed. Here, then, we might pause in thankfulness and take hope, not only for victory on all fronts and in all three elements, but also for a safe and happy future for ten mented mankind.’ In retrospect one experiences again, and through the mind of a great war leader, the dangers and trials of that eventual year, when Italy was brought to surrender, and many Italians rejecting the demagogue who was Mussolini, fought bravely for the Allied cause against their former masters, the Germans. It is fascinating to watch the growth of "ONerlord,’ and of how nearly all other War policy was subordinated to this mighty adhievement â€" much of this policy at least outlined at the Quebec Conference. The firm faith in Britain leaps forth again in this book to deny the truth of Eisenhower’s state- ment that the Allied invasion of the Continent might have been im- possible if the Germans had begun using the ‘V’ rockets against Eng- land sooner. Seven .years later Mr. Churchill is again at the helm of Great Brit- ain, facing, perhaps a. tougher ser- ies of problems than he did then, with the possibility’ at least, of a greater and more fearful torment for mankind within the 77-year-old leader’s lifetime. And it is heart- ening, even, I should think, for those who are not of the British Commonwealth, to have such a leader at the head of Britain at such a time. “This is an overstatement,’ says Churchill. “Even if the Germans had been able to maintain a rate of fire of 120 a day, and if none whatever had been shot down, the effect would have been the equiv- alent of only two or three one-ton bombs to a square mile per week.’ And what, after all, is that? Perhaps, this last volume seems more fascinating than the others because of the time in the world in which it makes its appearance; per- haps because it reveals a little more of Churchill the man â€" the man suffering from a severe ill- ness and being read to by his wife; worrying over his son in the com- mandos; disturbed by the fact that his daughter, Mary, was nearly washed overboard on the return trip from Quebec. But whatever the‘principal cause the fascination is evident through- out. i Thirty-seven million boys and girls have been tested for tubercu- losis in 22 countries, and 17 million of them vaccinated with BCG (Bacillus Calmette Guerin), since the end of the war in the Inter- national Tuberculosis Campaign sponsored by United Nations agencies and Scandinavian voluntary societies. The campaign was begun six years ago by the Danish Red Cross Society and was car- ried on by the UN. International Children’s Emergency Fund, the U. N. World Health Organization and Scandinavian volunteers. Above, one of the teams is shown at work in the village square in San Andres Tuxtla, in Veracruz, Mexico. Performing the tuberculin test is Danish Nurse Marit Schultz (right), assisted by Nurse Anto- nieta. Montana of Mexico, standing behind her. Supervising the test is Dr. Gomez Nieto of Mexico, shown sitting at a. table, right. "Literally Speaking" . . . About Books THE HOUSES IN BETWEEN By Howard Spring Family chronicles covering the U.N. Wages War on Tuberculosis in Mexico generations have two effects â€"- they turn readers into sleuths seek- ing repetitive traits and, to this reviewer at least, they give a sense of the beauty of life. So to pick up such a novel, if it’s at all im- portant, is to lease the affections of a group of people who may be heart-warming, annoying, foolish, brave or ineffectual by turns. In other words, it’s almost impossible to be indifi'erent to their affairs. The question is how much time and how much concern the reader Wish- es to invest. Personally, we found the invest- ment in the 576 pages of Howard Spring’s new novel, “The Houses in Between,” worth the time and effort although we did weary of a few of the characters. He suc- ceeds in making his people live so the reader can be indifl‘erent. But the people themselves and the per- iod through which they live carry special significance to those of An- glo-Saxon background. The book becomes, in a sense, a social his- tory of Britain during the last 100 years The narrator is Sarah Undridge who just fails in her ambition to become a centenarian. An Eng- lish product of the Victorian era, she was passionately devoted to peace symbolized by the Crystal Palace which she saw Queen Vic- toria open when she was three. She believed in peace with all her heart, but she was destined to see a succession of- wars rob her of the men of her family, leave her daughter to face an empty widow- hood and change a secure world in- to confusion. So the Crystal Pal- ace became to~her a symbol of shattered hopes. Nor could Sarah quite bring her- self to appreciate a time when wo- men deserted the protected com- fort of the home and faced with their men the hardness of the great world outside. - The toast proposed to her at her ninetieth birthday party in London pretty well sums up her character -â€" “Sarah has never done anything that appears on the face of it to be remarkable, but she has lived to this great age without making an enemy in the world . . . She has always been a shoulder they (her kinsfolk) could cry on and a sym- pathetic ear into which they could speak their hopes.’ Sarah lived to see the decline of the upper class and she could nev- er adjust herself to the fact that her former chauffeur had achieved fame as an aircraft wizard and been knighted. As she put it, “He is the mechanic who will ride high over whatever it is that civ- ilization is reaching for. He is one of the masters.’ Nor could she un- derstand how the well-born young man Roger Hazard could repudiate his ancestors and advocate equal incomes in a classless society. Sarah tells him, “When you teach men to relinquish, or not to pursue, power, then you’ll be getting somewhere.” Sarah, of course, is the leading character, not only by tempera- ment, but by the mere fact of sur- vival, but her kinsfolk provide the thread out of which the pattern of the family -â€" and in the larger sense the pattern of England â€" is being woven. The book manages to combine the nostalgia of the settled past with the excitement of a‘n uncer- tain present, and Mr. Spring’s transitions come as dramatically in fiction as they did in reality. Mr. Bert Barber, president of the Richmond Hill Curling Club announced this week that there is now ice in the curling rink and that another season has begun.

Richmond Hill Fire Brigade had a busy holiday period answering four calls between December 20 and December 27. On December 20 they were sum-r moned to two hdmes, one to A. Mitchell’s farm on the third can! cession of Vaughan, and the other to Jas. Rumble’s property on Mill Street, on the outskirts of Rich- mond Hill. Fire at the Mitchell’s was in the driving shed, the fire starting from escaping gas from a tractor, the gas igniting from a spark. One thousand dollars darn~ age was caused to the tractor which is now at Harold Mortson’s for repairs. The fire was brought under control in time to save the shed. The brigade was summoned to Rumbles at 3 a.m. only to find the fire too well under way to save the barn, which burned to the ground. Everything in the barn was lost, this including machinery, all the year’s grain as well as thirty-nine pigs. Up to the time of writing it is reported the fire is still smoldering. OARRVILLE UNITED CHURCH The Richmond Hill Presbyterian Church held its annual Christmas party in the Sunday School room on Wednesday night, with the five classes of boys and girls perform- ing their Christmas skits and plays for the many parents and friends who were in attendance. The pro- gramme was presided over by Sup- erintendent Jas. Butler who took over his duties as master of core- monies after the minister, Rev. S. W. Hirtle opened flhe evening with words of welcome. Holiday Fires Keep Brigade Busy During Christmas Week The programme opened with the singing of Christmas carols by the gathering, followed by the Prim- ary Department demonstration of ‘The Christmas Story’ on the flan- nelgraph board. These children were instructed by their teachers Lois and Joan Bourne. A one-act playette was put on by Marion MacKillop’s class of girls entitled ‘The Story in Carols’ and the sen- ior girls and choir girls acted a Christmas play called ‘Mimi Lights The Candle.’ The junior boys un- der the direction of their teacher, Mr. John Moorehead put on their Christmas «number called ‘The Christmas Verse’ with Mr. Wm. Campbell's senior boys acting in a humorus one-act skit called ‘The Teacher‘s Headache.’ Santa Claus, of course, was in attendance, and everyone received a gift from the Christmas tree. Re- freshments were served by the members of the Evening Auxiliary. Xmas Party At Presby. Church SUNDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1951 MAPLE CHURCH NOTICES Rev. P. J.

On Wednesday afternoon of this week the barn of Dugald Mc- Lean on Essex Avenue took fire caused by an overheated coal oil stove. Mr. McLean was away in the village at the time. Neighbors seeing the flames were able to get one of the horses out of the barn, and when the firemen arrived they hacked a passage in the side of the barn to try to get at the other horse. They fotmd it lying on the floor overcome by smoke. They ;turned the hose on the horse to try to revive it, but were forced to lpractically drag it, with the help ‘of spectators. out of the building, which eventually was completely destroyed.

A Christmas programme was can ried out and Christmas carols were sung in the various languages of the people present. Donald Leno rendered several Christmas piano instrumentals, and apprOpriate Christmas films were shown by Mr. J. R. Cross. Mrs. J. R. Cross,‘ who is the senior teacher of the group, and Mrs. D.
