my mama, Richmond Hill, Thursday, Jan. 24, 1952 Today, on the other hand, large numâ€" bers of our young women are in satisfac- tory employment or are raising families, and the fact that young women are pres- ent in numbers equivalent to the reserves of 1939 does not necessarily mean that they can be drawn into employment as 1‘ uickly or in the same large numbers to- 8y. I ' Their response would depend on how desirable defence employment appeared to them when compared with their present ljobs, and also, of course, on the nature of . the emergency â€" a strong patriotic appeal would certainly override personal consider- ations, as it did in World War II. SAM 000K, Editor Altogether there are some twenty an. 'hnal glands from which various pharma. ceutioal products are made.Cattle and hogs provide the major sources, although cer- tain glands from calves and sheep are also utilized. Most glands are so small, or the amount of a particular substance secreted in them so minute, that many animals are required to produce even a pound of raw material. A great many more are needed to produce a pound of the final drug. For this reason larger establishments, slaughâ€" tering at least 200 to 250 hogs or over 50 cattle per week are in the best position to collect sizable and economical quantities. But even smaller abattoirs can conserve some of the larger glands. A recent es« timate places the plant value of beef glands at around 40 cents per head, with pork glands bringing about a third as much per hog. While the net return per head is comparatively small, considering- the extra expense of labourhfreezing- and packing. humanitarian oons1derations supply the W Mm. The valuable part which meat plays in the human diet as a protein-rich, pro- tective food is well established. Less well known, but none the less important, are the ever increasing uses being discovered by medical science for certain by-products of the meat packing industry. For example, many animal glands and glandular sub- stances, once virtually wasted, are now sought after by pharmaceutical laborator- ies and used in manufacture of important drugs regularly prescribed for a host of human ailments. While the volume of many of these special substances must be measured in terms of pounds, or even ounces, and is therefore insignificant in re‘ lation to the annual tonnage of meat hand- led, nevertheless their value in terms of the relief of human sickness and suffering is great. The wellabeing of many people today, and in many cases their very lives, depends on a constant supply of fresh glandular products moving from packing plant to laboratory and finally to hospital or drug store. The employment situation for women today is very different from that of 1939. Generally speaking, women who Wish to work now have jobs and there are fewer unpaid family workers and fewer girls re- maining at home without employment. A]. so, as opposed to 1939, most of the women working today are in jobs which they consider desirable and suited to their training. Nearly half of them are today in “white-collar” jobs â€" clerical or com- mercial occupations. Only about eighteen per cent are in the Service occupations, which, before the last war was the largest In the last war, 500,000 women enterâ€" ed the employed labour force, to help fill vital jobs in war industries, in essential civilian industries and in the Armed For- 065. In 1939, howeverJ many young women in Canada were not working, and many of those who were employed found their jobs less attractive than the jobs offered to them in war-work. The women of Canada make up by far the largest pool of potential workers avail- able to this country in an emergency. Other groups, such as retired persons, youths and the physically handicapped were needed in the last war and came for- ward, and would be needed again in any future emergency, but their numbers are small compared with those of the women who could enter the working force. Naturally the wholehearted support of the parents is needed to make this ven- ture a real success. It means a great deal to the morale of any boy to be able to look up into the stands during the game and see Mom and Dad eagerly watching him perform. It is a splendid uplift for any child to know his parents are interested in his exploits, however minor those exploits Seven young men of this community are during the winter months devoting a great deal of time and effort in order to make the Richmond Hill Bantam Hockey League a successful Operation.

Ridnnond Hill 9 While the contributions to human health of these three drugs â€" Insulin, ACTH and Cortisone â€"- are indeed out- standing, there are many. other important medicinal products for which the basic ma.- terial is derived from the packing industry and which play a vital part in preserving md extending hm life; Although important new dicoveries in glandular preparations have been made re- cently, insulin still remains of major signi- ficance. The dramatic story of the discov- ery and development of the insulin treat- ment by the two Canadian doctors, Banting and Best, some thirty years ago, is already well known. Since that time thousands upon thousands of people stricken with di- abetes have been able to live useful lives through the magic of insulin crystals pre- pared by an intricate process from pancre- atic glands. To date scientists have not been able to produce insulin synthetically from chemicals in the laboratory, thus the meat industry remains the sole source of supply. Since it requires the pancreatic glands of about 40 cattle to keep one diaâ€" betic patient alive for one year, the maxi- mum possible production of this drug the year round is essential for this one purpose a one. While of more recent application in the field of medicine than insulin, the two “wonder” drugs ACTH and Cortisone have also brought hope to thousands of suffer- ers, particularly those afflicted by rheuma- tic and arthritic conditions. To date these preparations have been in limited supply, so that many potential patients have not yet been able to take advantage of their remarkable properties. It requires the pituitary glands of about 400,000 hogs to produce a single pound of the AdrenmCor- tico-‘h‘opic Hormone, known popularly as ACTH. When it is considered that there are an estimated 71/2 million athritic and rheumatic sufferers in the United States alone, it is evident that the pituitary glands from the whole world’s beef and sheep slaughter would not fill the need. Marital status alone is apparently no longer sufficient to prevent women from entering employment as it was in most in- stances in 1939. There are today about 320,000 married women in Canada holding down jobs. Barriers against their em- ployment are continually being removed and married women who wish to work are today usually able to obtain employment. There is no general shortage of women workers at present, although there are shortages in certain fields such as nurS< ing and skilled secretarial work. If a gen. eral shortage should develop, however, there is a reserve of women available which has been almost untapped up to now -â€" the one million women between the ages of forty-five and sixty-four who are not now in the labour force. While most of them have been away from the labor mar- ket for many years the experience they have gained in managing households and raising families could be a real employ- ment asset. Many of them are interested in taking jobs and continuing their useful activities. field of employment for women and from which developed one of the chief sources of women war workers. In 1939, these occupations employed one-third of all wor- king women and supplied 100,000 workers to war industries. It seems likely, therefore, that in any situation calling for a large-scale expan- sion of female employment, much more at. tention will have to be given to the em- ployment of those married women who have older children and fewer household responsibilities. As a means of financing their opera.- tions the League has had printed and is now distributing season tickets. These tickets not only permit the holder to at- end all the League games, but also affords the League a means of raising funds nec- essary to its successful operation. This whole effort is an investment in the future well being Of our children. It gives them an opportunity to participate in a well organized and health giving winâ€" ter sport. So Mom and Dad, let’s get be- hind these young hockey players and turn out to the games. Many of the girls who were available for employment in 1939 are now married, and girls have been getting married at an earlier age since the war, mainly because of the prosperity this country has enjoyed in the post-war years. A large proportion of the women who married in the last ten years are caring- for young children and cannot take jobs. may Some of the parents have been com- ing out to the league games but President Hollowell is hoping that more of the par- ents will make every effort to come out to the games and support these “budding” hockey players throughout the season. seem to his father and mother. There is a young lady in Ottawa whose regard for Winston Church- ill amounts almost to worship. Al. though Canadian born she has pla- ced the U.K. Prime Minister on a pedestal among the shatesmen of the world and has devoured all his writings and all that has been writ- ten about him.

He may offend with words but he has 8. “Take it or leave it” air which drives customers away. That was a wise merchant who said to his assistants: “Always think of what your customer will say when he leaves the store.” When she heard that her hero was coming to Ottawa She was so insistent on seeing him in the flesh that it prompted one of her fellow workers to ask “Why do you Want to see him so badly?” Her reply was “I want to see history on two legs, walking”.

He told me he could tell even what a minister looked like after hearing him conduct one service. “Men reveal their dispositions by their voices,” he said, “sympathy, kind- ness, tolerance and gentleness are made known through the voice and so are irritability and impatience. I can often sum up a man after hearing him announce the opening hymn.” “KW! That is how we felt this week when we had the privilege of at- tending the State Dinner tendered by the Prime Minister of Canada, in honor of the British Prime Min- ister. It was a great honor and privi- lege to see, meet and hear this great statesman, this powerful world leader who has played and is playing such a major role in shap- ing the destiny of mankind. I The menu for the dinner includ- ed Consomme, Lake Trout, Bee; Tenderloin, Brown Potatoes, Green Beans, Frozen Dessert and Coffee. During the meal Chumhvill sipped Champagne and at the conclusion of the meal and the toast to “The King", lighted one of the famous cigars. It was said of Thomas Carlyle: “He preached Ihumility with arm. gance.” It isn’t only what men say but the manner they employ when saying it which makes it ef- fective or the reverse. A few years ago the English journalist, Lord Riddell, made a list of seven qualities which were necessary for success in business. These were: energy, self-reliance, honesty. initiative, continuity, cou- rage and optimism. Some weeks after the article had been publish- ed in John London’s Weekly, 3 reader gently criticized Lord Rid- dell for leaving out what he thought as an extremely necess- ary quality â€" amiability. He wrote: “You fail to mention what is really the oil among the virtues, There were some three hundred and fifty in attendance at the State Dinner held in the main Ballroom of the Chateau Laurier, Those in attendance included Members of Parliament, Senators, Cabinet Min- isters, representatives of the dip- lomatic corps, members of the Su- preme Court, representatives of the Clergy, Members of the Visit- ing U. K. delegation, the Governor General and the guest of honor. 0n the arrival of the head-table guests the R.C.A_F. Band played “The King” and “Rule Britannia”. There is an interesting story about the playing of “Rule Britannia." Hon. Lester Pearson when leav- ing Britain for Canada was saying good-bye to Mr, Churchill and in speaking of his forthcoming visit to Canada asked if there was any- thing special he could do for him. The doughty Churchill replied, “Yes, restore Rule Britannia. as the theme song of the Canadian Navy". Canada‘s External Af- fairs Minister arranged to have Britannia played following “The King”. ‘1' uumul\\\munuuunuunmmmun“munt\ummuuumu\m\\1u\TODAY’S QUOTATION i g 4 Some years ago I knew a blind 7%?” [Ram mm A; , ~I, . j "g , v’f, A,_____'_’a.~.-=. rm.- .1. $7 fxee men” the British Prime Minis- ter was given an enthusiastic and rousing reception. Mr. Churchill recalled that it was just ten years ago that he visited Ottawa in the dark days of the Wai‘ and he paid tribute to the part played by Canada in that struggle. “When I visited you last time I had secrets I couldn't dare tell you” he said, “but this time at least I have no secrets to guard because I do not know. No one can predict with certainty what will happen, all can see for themselves the strange clouds that move and gather on the horizon.” Ottawa-is well accustomed to en- tertaining distinguished visitors and are mused sometimes of be- ing non-demonstrative. Churchill's welcome was something out of the ordinary, and from leading states- men and dignitaries to the kiddies who lined the route of his travels there was a warmth and sincerity which could be felt everywhere. It seemed indeed that we were en- joying the opportunity of honour- ing- one of the really great men of history. The Churchill speech was carried throughout North America on one of the largest radio networks ever to originate in Canada. The British leader looks hale and hearty and younger than his 77 years. Some of the fire and vigor of the wartime Churchill may be gone but the brilliance and Wit of this great: master of English still thrilled his Ottawa audience. amlability. It is this trait of character which enables us to bear troubles and t9 put up with unreasonable people. Think of what the Bible says about it: “A merry heart maketh a cheerfu‘ countenance â€" he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast â€" a merry heart doeth good like a medicine.” In typical Churchillian fashion and with dramatic impressiveness the great world leader concluded “I claim here, in Ottawa, that to- night we make a vafiant and, I be- lieve, unconquerazble assertion of the spirit of our combined identity and survival. We have surmounted all the perils and endured all the agonics of the past. We shall pro- vide against and thus prevail over the dangers and problems of the future, withhold no sacrifice, grudge no toil, seek no sordid gain, fear no foe. All will be well. We have, I believe, within us the life- strength and guiding light by which the tormented world around us may find the harbour of safety, after a storm-beaten voyage. This year will see the 85th anniversary of Canada’s Confederation. A mag- nificent future awaits Canada, if only we can all get through the present hideous world muddle.” Following- the formalities of the dinner the distinguished guest re~ laxed at an informal reception where we had the privilege of meeting him and. getting some in. timate glimpses of this great man of history. The Bandmaster brought for- ward the base drum for the P. M.’s autograph â€"â€" “I will autograph it if you will let me beat it", he said. He autographed the drum and then beat it according to the bar- gain. Lord Riddell acknowledged that he had ovelooked one of the ma- jor virtues of life: a. pleasant am- iable disposition and he quoted the old proverb: “More flies are caught by honey than by vinegar.” Frankly, I have never been able to understand how any ‘man can succeed in business if he is Irrit- able and brusque, although some appear to have done so. What has puzzled me more is to find so many church members â€"- some in posi- tions of leadership -â€"- utterly lack. ing in courtesy and good nature. I have known quite a few emin- ent churchmen including- clergy- men, who, on the slightest provo- cation, were ready to bite one‘s 'head off. [How can they reconcile that with the Church’s teaching about growing in grace and in the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ? I know that with many it is true that the bark is worse than the bite but in a world full of sen- sitive souls why go around bark- ing and snarling? In olden times physicians did a lot of blood-let- ting because both they and their patients believed it was a good thing. Wiser men lost their faith in the pratice; they saw it was cruel and clumsy. I once hear a minister preach from [the text: “Arid upon the top of the pillars was lily work.” (1 King 722-2). The speaker emphas- ized the fact that there was much in Solomon’s temple that was or- namental and that there is a. place in life for that which may not be very useful but is beautiful. We should do all the good we can but remember to do it in a gracious manner. When a beggar asked a. gift from the Russian writer Turgenev, the author said: “I have nothing to give you, brother, I left my purse at home.” The beggar smil- ed and said: "You have given me something; you called me broth- ARC“‘R..“’.’,“ ’3‘“ J75, Please permit me some space in your paper to make a few obser- vations in reply to Mr. and Mrs. McKie’s letter published in your January 10 issue. I am in complete agreement with their expressed opinion that the conditions enum- erated by them should be imposed if Annexation takes place. I can- not agree that any other state- ments in that letter are sufficient cause to justify Annexation.‘ I am amazed that so much sales- manship is required to sell the idea of Annexation to us in the Elm- wood and Harding Park Sub-div- isions since it is claimed to be so obviously good for us â€" if we can believe the salesmen! “R. Richmond Hill Annexation' Dear Mr. Editor: During six years residence’m Elmwood Park our dollar has nev- er been refused by the Village stores, ohurches, theatre, clubs, etc., because it did not come from a Village resident. We have been given no discounts nor have we been charged extra because we were “outsiders.” We have paid the school taxes and water char- ges asked of us and I suggest that we have done much more for the Village bhan it has done for us. Why is it assumed that we should be anxious to pay at least 50% more in taxes (as all avail- able tax and assessment statistics indicate) for the privilege of lix- ing‘ inside the borders of Richmond Hill but getting nothing addition- al in return for those extra taxes? Everybody should realize that any improvement in our present conditions, such as paved roads, sidewalks, sewers, watermains, etc. will come about only at consider- able addit‘ional expense on a per foot frontage basis charged to the property abutting the work and these charges will not be less if we are annexed than if we re- main in the Township. Local improvements are usually done by {private contractors and I do not believe that any contractor will do a job cheaper for the Village than for the Township. Mr. McKie mentions that the 10- cal improvements which the west end of Elmwood sub-division has acquired lately have cost consid- erably more than if we had been part of the Village. It is com- mon knowledge in our area why these were so costly and the causes need not be further discussed. It can, however, be mentioned that the cost of grading and gravelling Church St., Elmwood Ave. (be- tween Yonge St. and Baker) and Lennox Ave., done by Markham Township equipment, did not ex- ceed 40 cents per lineal foot while the cost of grading and gravelling Baker Ave. and Elmwood Ave. (be- tween Baker and Lennox Aves.) done by private contractor has cost more than $2.40 per lineal foot. (3) The Village has no plumbing inspector. (4) The Village had no sewers for 79 years of its history. It is to be hoped, sir, that the property owners in the area to be annexed will not be unduly influ- enced by the high pressure sales- manship of some who have par- ticular interests in Annexation but will take the trouble to attend all meetings which may be organized to pass out true information re- garding the subject. The Ontario Municipal Board has recommended that such meetings be held and we hope that the proper officials will sponsor these meetings. ' Yours truly, ll. T. Shorten Box 373 Richmond Hill All the arguments in favour of annexation which we read and lis- ten to imply that the Township Council is inept and backward while the Village Council is very progressive and efficient. Consider carefully these facts as evidence of that progressiveness. (1) The Village has no restric- tive building by-laws. (2) The Village has no plumb- ing by-laws. (5) The Village has not one pav- ed street wibhin its boundaries (except Yonge St., which is a Provincial Highway) after 79 years of existence. For that length of time the residents have been paying yearly for scratching and perhaps oiling these roads and struggling with pot holes and have paid many times over for paved streets but haven’t got any.
