M.P-, Publisher lld'ud An important announcement in last week’s issue of The Liberal was that final approval had been given to the “Richmond Hill Plan”. The way is now cleared for planned development and 1 industrial growth. This is important neWs to every ratepayer in Richmond Hill and_all.1nter- ested in the development of the district. This is the day of planned develop- ment â€" in fact planned development is a “must.” If a municipality doesn’t have planned development in this day and age, it just won’t have development. Thus by having an approved plan Richmond Hill now is in a ,posmon .to greatly speed up its program of industrial development. A splendid start already has'been made and we look forward w1th cOnfidence to much greater development in the days ahead. ' The decks have been cleared for ac- . 'on and now united effort is needed to ring about the best results. Richmond W 'Hill has been well served by those in pub- ' a booster. div «.4 t. lic office, but in addition to their good lead- ership and united effort there must be whole-hearted community support. Every- one can make a contribution to the devel- opment of the Greater Richmond .Hill by being a booster. Every community has some boosters â€" but thlere could be no in a communit w ere everyone is Stopp g That is what we would like to see in Richmond Hill. _ The immediate need is for industrial development. -Wide-awake communities ,T' re competing with each other to share in film present industrial growth of Canada. a r "W ( Amy, seam .. l’fi‘ a,» We never apologize for repetition of mflie advice â€"â€" deal in your Home Commun- “lty.

Local business places have so many things in their favor that we wonder they ever have cause for concern about business going to the big city stores and shopping centres.' One reason is that too often loc- al business places neglect to keep a grow- ing community adequately informed Of the goods and services they have to offer. Business people in this district have an excellent opportunity of keeping a fast growing community well informed of their goods and services by advertising in “The Liberal.” This newspaper which has been the Home Paper of the district since 1878 is read by more than 10,000 people in the trading area every week.

The municipality wanting industry to- day must first make sure its house is in order, in that it has available land, necess- ary services and an adopted plan for de- velopment. It then must tell the world that it wants industry. Richmond Hill has its house in order thanks to the vision, hard Work and good leadership of its Municipal Council and Planning Board. It has available land with the necessary services and it has a lan. - p Richmond Hill also is fortunate in having 3. Chamber of Commerce ready to give every assistance in telling the world that we want industry. Recently the Iii- dustrial Committee of the Chamber issued a concise and attractive brochure giving in detail the statistics and information re- quired by those interested in industrial sites. It already has had a wide distribu- tion and there have been many fine compli- ments from leaders in industry and com- merce. The fine work which has been done in giving Richmond Hill “a plan” and in lay- ing the foundation for planned develop- ment merits the whole-hearted and active support of every citizen. With everyone a Booster we are confident that the next few years will see unprecedented growth and development in Greater Richmond Hill. '- Advertising - Your Invitation To Business people want to deal with him. After mak- ing sure of an adequate supply of goods and services, a good way to make people aware you want their business is to invite them to your store or place of business. Merchants and business people who advertise in The Liberal are saying we]- come to the thousands of people in this growing community. They are well equipped to serve you and invite your pat- ronage. Patronize our advertisers and you will be helping yourself, and helping your Home Community. Editorial Comment MAKES FOR VARIETY A paragraph in Mrs. Eedy’s interest- ing column in he St. Mary’s Journal-Ar- gus tells of the fine effect produced by the painting of neighboring houses in differ- ent colors. This prompts a suggestion. The varied coloring of motor cars nowa- days is pleasing to the eye, and if these reds, blues, greens and other colors were reproduced in the decoration of the houses what a picturesque appearance our streets would present. It might be necessary to have an inspector to see that no garish dis- harmony was produced; and if the scheme were extended to the houses and barns in. the countryside what a paradise it would be for people of artistic taste â€" and for the painting trade! \ Cubs & Scouts Begin Fall Season Now that Cubs and Scouts are back in swing for the win- ter session in Richmond Hill. let‘s see all you boys who are interested get in there and get going. We would like to remind the older Scouts (pops that is) that the annual meeting which in- cludes the election of Officers. will be held before the end of October, date not yet set but new faces will be welcomed.

Crime stems directly from pover- ty. Abolish poverty and crime would disappear." This sounds plausible, and be- cause there is an element of truth in the statement it is often taken at par value. Nobody would deny that sordid home conditions do something to depress and warp character. In any study of juven- ile delinquency this truth is evi- dent. «r Illllllllllllllllllllllllllliliillllflllllllllllllllliilllllllllllllilllllllllmllll4 g TODAY’S QUOTATION i come unto me: hear and your 3 soul shall live." l!- WIMIIIIIIIOIIIWNINIIIMINININIIIIIRIIIIIIIIIIMI ‘9 But what are we to make of the fact that in prosperous times, with high material standards of living and very little unemployment, crime is at a high level. Further- more, it is well-known that many criminals come from homes where there is no poverty; often from homes of affluence. Frequently criminals are extremely well-to-do. Some have left vast fortunes. This is no eulogy of poverty â€" it is a serious social problem, but we must face the truth that many of the finest people in the world have been quite poor all their lives and, on the other hand, criminals have been rich and continued to be law- breakcrs, long after they became wealthy. Whatever else is revealed it seems evident that stark material- ism has failed that human desires cannot be satisfied with material possessions. Human beings de- sire something deeper, richer, Our quotation today is from Isaiah 55: “Incline your ear and WIWIWHW grander than financial assets and economic security. I have visited jails on several oc- casions. each time in give an ad- dress â€"â€" they take a lot of punish- ment â€" and I am not writing in any censorious way. Each time I have wondered how much better I was than the inmates, if any. Several years ago I listened to a speaker in London‘s Hyde Park. He was convinced, and was trying to persuade other people. that all the work of the world could be done if we worked one day a week. When he invited questions, a man asked: “What would we do with the rest of our time?" The speak- er declared: "We would go to the museums. art galleries, libraries. musical festivals, etc.“ One man in the crowd shouted out: "And the pubs!“ a This interruption caused a lot of amusement but I felt sure the man was right. The pubs would do a big business. Work is not a curse; it can be a blessing. Two centur- ies ago, the poet, William Cowper wrote: Absence of occupation is not rest A mind quite vacant is a mind dis- tressed. There is such a thing as: “The angel of Toll," and the Idea that continual freedom from work and responsibility would be the millen- ium is a delusion. Using the word in its widest sense it seems to me that our basic needs are spiritual and in that realm ,we must find our satisfactions. I am not trying to even suggest what form it should take but there are exalted ways of living which can be classified as spiritual and which bring serenity and peace. I feel sure the man who thought crime was caused by poverty was mistaken, but when it comes to find out. the the main cause, like many wiser minds. I am baffled. I do believe, however, there is solid truth in what Augustine said, seventeen centuries ago: “Lord, Thou hast made us for Thyself, and we are restless, until we rest In Thee." l “ Way Back When” ' n6” SEPTEMBER 14. 1933 Improved street lighting is being planned for the village. Yonge St. north of Richmond Hill is to be widened. The Reeve has received .encouragement from the Relief secretary that local un- employed men may be used on the project. Mr. Benjamin S.

Re: New Thornhill High School Mr. Editor:- I have been following with considerable interest the various letters and news reports in your paper concerning the new Thorn- hill High School. From the comâ€" ments I have heard I am sure everyone in this area. neighbours and friends, is vitally concerned. The final decision as to the type of high school constructed will be affecting our children for years to come. I know the ultimate plan will not be arrived at lightly as already much time, thought and discussion has been given to this matter by those in authority. I would like to offer my opinion and add support to the stand taken by Mr. Wilf Dean - that is, tech- nical options should be available as well as a complete academic course. It also seems reasonable to ex- pect that my children should have physical education facilities at least equal to those we took for granted over twenty years and so I must honestly add that a gymnasium also fits in with my dream of the perfect high school for Thornhill. However. I know practical as- pects of the matter will be the deciding factor. But let us build thoughtfully and well for ALL the children looking forward to a well- rounded secondary school educa- tion. Sincerely yours, W. A. Ladell Pres. Thornhill Home and School Association.
