m LIBERAL. Richmond Hm, Thurs. In keeping with the rapid expan- Aon of Richmond Hill and the surround- ing area, the Bell Telephone Co. has an- ounced that by mid-November, resi- ents in the Oak Ridges area will have a direct dial telephone connection with Richmond Hill and Thornhill by being included on the Turner 4 exchange. With the rapid growth of this nor- thern community, commuting to the city has increased and. because so many from the area are passing through Rich- mond Hill, and Thornhill. the natural trend towards social, business and re- creational activities has become centred in this area. For this reason, the im- proved facilities of a direct line south will enable residents in the Oak Ridges Area to contact shopping and recreatâ€" ional centres conveniently. The change- over is part of a Bell Telephone Co. plan to unite telephone services in order that Torohto'a lady alderman. Mrs. May Robinson, has coined a new term. “Lit- terbug" to describe those thoughtless persons who drop pieces of paper. candy wrappers and other litter on the city Gib»: liberal An Independent Weekly: Established 181 Itreets. pv; vv..-. Well, Toronto may have a lot of these Litterbugs. but Richmond Hill, too, has a good supply of those thought- less creatures who continuously treat the village streets as a garbage can. We all know them. the man who throws his om ty cigarette package on the side- wa k, the lady who strews facial tissues around the boulevards and the children who litter streets, play yards and front lawns with candy wrappers. The Litter- bugs throw their papers all over the streets and lawns with no regard for either public or private property and without thought of the untidiness and extra work they arecausing. 11A However, in fairness to these lit, terbugs and others, we must admit that there is really no ‘place to drop waste per even on our main street. There ave been numerous suggestions on the problem. many of which are worthy of consideration. Of course, for the Vill- age Council to assume the responsibility of almost daily street cleaning. it would mean an increased village staff and IgEEm'éhtfiYfiéEés} of winch would be 3 dad to our mill rate at a time when Subscription Ratc $2- It has been brought to our attenâ€" tion the number of people who fail to return immediately or not. at all, mail sorted in their boxes by mistake, to the Post Office or the proper owners.

Cattle will be ranging closer to home or chewing contentedly on their cuds in stalls or loafing in barns. Whether the year of hard work has been profitable or not, the farmer and his family will be look- ing forward to a period of comparative relaxation during the next few months. These months, however, can often be turned to profit by using thetime to acquire further knowledge on better farming methods. Information on the most efficient methods of .farming is actually going begging. Provincial and federal depart- ments of agriculture have an abun- dance of literature which describes the latest findings of agricultural scientists in experimental stations across the country. These are available usually without charge. Many Canadian in- dustries are constantly turning out reams of valuable informative matter 4W1“ nuuuv- Telephone TUrner 4-1261 “Authorized as second class mail, Post Office Department.

Work on the project is well under way with over half the pre-installation work done and construction work on the cables started. At the latest, the new service will be in operation by the end of November. the Council is doing its utmost to keep the mill rate steady. Therefore, it is necessary to implement a scheme that, with the co-operation of all, would do away with the need of treet cleaners for the present. It has been suggested that the mer- chants who sell confections, cigarettes, etc, could assist a great deal by placing a large waste container at the entrance to their premises. An adequate con- tainer with a sign requesting people to deposit their refuse would combat a lot of the papers and litter that collect erâ€" ound confection shops.

There is the added pos- sibility that the sand barrels, which have proven such a boon to winter driv- ing. might be used in the summer for refuse. Whichever suggestion may be foll- owed up, there is no doubt that it would be much appreciated by the citizens of Richmond Hill.

The closer scrutiny of farm journals and weekly newspapers and careful attention to farm broadcasts, will often provide information that can be turned into dollars and cents by the farmer. 1a: lllfil I For the benefit of the young far- mer, most Canadian agricultural coll- eges run many short courses dur- ing the slack farm periods. These cover special or general subjects ranging from fruit culture to farm management. En- rolment fees and cost of board and room are so low that the netum on the invest- ment can be incalculable.

That is all that is re- quired since the children leave their parents at the age of six months and -live in special child- ren’s homes until it is time for them to leave and go out on their own. Specially trained staff, in- cluding nurses, teachers and doc- tors look after their health and education. The hours from 5 p. m. until bedtime are the parents‘ hours, when the children visit their parents' homes. The prac- tice is mostly that the parents take them back to the homes and ‘put them to bed. Under this plan of child supervision, both parents are free to work all day, and each child has equal opportunity. Every Saturday night there is a village meeting. which every- one is requested to attend. This meeting is for the purpose of hearing the various committees reports on crops, marketing, pur- chasing and various personal problems which may arise.

Peale, who tells the story, admits that it does seem‘ oversimplified. For most people life isn‘t as simple as that but the idea that we can control our thinking is not new, nor has it been seldom understood. Yet the ancients believed and taught thought control and Shakespeare made Hamlet express a profound truth when. regarding a certain line of thought, he said: “That way madness lies." If we entertain certain thoughts long enough they become part of us and sooner or later find ex- pression in action. There is a wealth o! truth in the old pro- s: “WWW; TODAY’S QUOTATION Our quotation today is g by Charles H. Spurgeon: "Good thoughts are bless- - ed guests.

Charles Darwin sum~ med up in these words: “The beginning of all monil culture is the belief that we can control our thoughts." It is a good thing to start the day right.

This was what Paul meant when he urged the Corinthians to: "Bring into cap- tivity every thought to the obed~ ienee of Christ." (2 Corinthians 10:5‘. More than half a century ago it was said of Robert Louis Stevâ€"‘ enson that when he entered a room it was as if another candle had been lighted. We have all known people like that and their cheerl'utncss was not superficial it was the outward expression of an inner happiness; oi thinking that was wholesome and contag- ious.

I am sure that thousands of people have reach- ed a place where the mind is op- en to the highest and the best and where there is no place lor mal- icious or evil thinking.
