I THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Thurs., June W. S. COOK, Editor a great many people who are shut out from the normal type of life by being shut in. To remind us of these folk, and to urge us to do something for them, the first Sunday of June is set aside annually as Shut-in's pay; It is fast becoming a recognized fact that the problem of overcrowding in schools is rapidly reaching out from the built-up areas in rural communities in this district. Such a problem is pres- ently being‘faced by the west side of Vaughan. Township where schools in both Burlington and Coleraine school sections are giving their Boards of Trustees problems of accommodation. This is a very active, interesting kind of world. Most of us have so many things to do, and a great many more things that we are planning to do when we have the time and opportunity. Our very activity keeps US so busy that we tend to ovbrlook the fact that there are Who are the Shut-ins? There is little need to ask, for every community has them: folk who are shut in through age, disability and various types of ill- ness. Not only are they confined to the house, hospitals or other institutions, but many cannot even leave their beds. They are all compelled to lead a restrict- ed life, and some of them readily admit that only the kindness of friends and the consideration of visitors enable them to remain normal in their thinking Expansion in Richmond Hill is not a new subject. If mentioned today it does not cause any great furor probably because we all realize the great develop- ment which we are yet to see. In our May 20 edition we ran a story of the coming sub-division development which will bring 1000 new residents into our community. Our population now num- bers close to 3000 and will double itself with these new growing pains. Tyn- dall’s, Mackie’s ands Allan-Court sub- divisions will bring in a new crop of residents who would welcome jobs in their home town which could easily pro- vide them. Council has not yet‘ acted on a sug- gestion that the village ‘join the Toron- to Industrial Commission which acts as a liaison between industry and the com- munity-seeking it. In supporting the su- ggestion Deputy-Reeve Tomlin pointed out the Commission would cost $500. to join which breaks down to 50 cents a home. It would be worth this small in- vestment in progress which Markham Township has already made. Ratepayers in Nashville, which lies between the two school sections have strongly urged that a third school sec- tion be formed with a school to be er- ected at Nashville. This would likely alleviate the necessity, for the present at least, of expanding both existing schools. ‘ / The“ purpose (if the Commission, which was established 25 years ago, is Others, however, taking a long- term view have recommended the es- tablishment of a School Area, including both school sections and Nashville. In this way, the existing schools would be left much the way they are with a new one at Nashville, leaving the way open for even distribution of the pupils in Worry, as medical men know, can actually induce organic disease. And even when it does not, it can devour en- ergy and undermine health and shorten life. Yet worry is quite curable. By learning to control our thought processes we can put worry in its place. In setting out to achieve this control we should rid ourselves at once of the false notion that worry is a peculiarity of the weak and the failures. Worry can be a sign of potential strength, proof that a man wants to succeed in his career. Many men whose names are immortal have been instinctive worriers, but they have learned how to deal with worry. Cronin suggests: “Make a list of your worries. When they are down on paper you’ realize how many of them are vague and futile. An estimate would run about as follows: Things that never happen, 40 percent. Things past that A. J. Cronin, noted doctor-writer, offers in the May Reader’s Digest a pre- scription for avoiding “Private Enemy Number One,” which is worry. “Authorized as second class W An Independent Weekly: Established 1878 “mun?” Subscription Rate $2.50 per year; to the United States $3.00; 5c Single Copy Member Audit Bureau of Circulations Member Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association J.

On the other hand there are some who have won such a spiritual victory over their ailing bodies that they are a source of inspiration to all who visit them. The mother of one of Britain’s statesmen spent nearly half a century in bed, and to her bedside came the elite of the land to be inspired by her courage, optimism and unselfish- ness. Plan to make Sunday, June 6th the day in which you show at least two shut- ins â€" a civilian and a disabled veteran â€"- that you care. It could be through flowers, a gift or a letter; or a personal visit in which you leave behind some little token of your thoughtfulness. But above all don‘t forget them until Shut- in’s Day comes again next year to re- mind you once more. to place in each municipality the type of industry it desires and, as stated by Deputyâ€"Reeve Tomlin, 80 per cent of all the industry which has settled in Tor- onto district has been done by this Com- mission. It is a non-profit organization which serves a 30-mile radius of Toron- to. One-half ofits budget, up to a to- tal of $25,000, is paid by Toronto, with the understanding the Commission will raise an equal amount. During the past year it has set- tled some 1200 industries in its operat- ing area and of the total number of industries which have settled in Ontario during the past year, 64 per cent situ- ated in Toronto area. The figures speak for themselves. In His name who said, “I was sick, and ye visited me,” let us unite in mak- ing June 6th a rare, unforgettable day for the Shut-in and for ourselves. The settling of industry in our vill- age to help balance the influx of new residents and to keep the tax rate down is foremost in the minds of our people who are continually wondering why there is not greater activity in promot- ing industrial development. In the long range view, 50 cents a home is very lit. tle when the development of the com- munity is concerned. Although the basic set-up of the schools would remain comparatively un- changed for some time to come, a grad- ual co-ordination of education methods and a system of larger scale adminis- tration under an area system would make its effects felt in higher education- al standards and proportionately re- duced operating costs. At a meeting organized on the sug- gestion of Vaughan Township Council, ratepayers supported the formation of an area. It is felt that this may well be the continuing of a trend towards the establishment of school areas in the Metropolitan fringe to raise the stand- ards of teaching while at the same time proportionately reducing the present high cost of education. * three schools when the area expands to any extent. With the heavy expansion in the Metropolitan Area and the increasing overflow into fringe municipalities, a system of Area Education may well be forecast as, one by one, rural ~schools become faced with the same problems of increased operating costs and rapid Overcrowding. can’t be changed, 30 percent. Needless health worries, 12 percent. Petty mis- cellaneous worries, ten percent. Real, legitimate worries, eight percent . . . . What we dread rarely comes to pass.” Financial worries constitute a great part of all anxiety. The Digest article says that there is one way to solve them â€" by following Thoreau’s classic exhor- tation: “Simplify.” By living more simply, by cutting out certain luxuries, we may rid ourselves of many distract~ ing worries. For self-pity, too, the article sees one answer: “Instead of seeing oursel- ves as the center of existence, we must turn our thoughts toward others and come thus to realize our true place as members of a family, community, na- t1on.” ‘ But the finest antidote to worry is work, Reader’s Digest contends. As Henry Ward Beecher said: “Work is healthy; you can hardly put more upon a man than he can bear. Worry is the rust upon the blade." ALVERNA SMITH, Associate Editor ’MEMIEI‘ uorr hunt“ Well, the High School students rubbed the Richmond Hill dust out of their eyes and took a long look at their latest production, the Orbit. The Orbit is the School‘s Year Book. There hasn't been a year book published for the past seven or eight years. A Revival Last Fall it was decided to re- vive the idea of having a Year Book“ which would tabulate the activities of the pupils in picture and in print. Under the very capable leadership of the Staff Advisers, Bill Campbell and Em Lavender, the students quietly went to work laying the ground- work for the biggest and best Year Book to ever come out of Advertising is the life-blood of any publication and the students secured 50 advertisers who paid in excess of $800 for the oppor- tunity of being viewed by 550 students plus their families and relatives.

Quick thinking on the part of Miss Beulah Baskerville, Rich- mond Hill, led to the arrest of Alcide Lacroix, CNR employee, of Bond Ave., Lake Wilcox, on a charge of theft. Early Saturday morning at 1.15 am. Miss Baskerville, who lives in an apartment beside Fisher’s SC to $1.00 store heard a car door shut and on getting up to inves- tigate, noticed a man making trips back and forth between his panel truck and Rice’s Flower Shop carrying quantities of box plants.

The- strip is a part of the 210 acre Milne farm which borders Langstaff sideroad and runs west to Bathurst Street. The remaining 170 acres belongs to the Ladies of Loretto who have plans to erect a college on the western side of the property.

Students Enthusiastic Such comments as "Gee, just like the University's Book”, and “Really terrific" were heard in the corridors as the students leaf- ed through their copies. The de- mand to have the autographs of teachers and fellow students in- scribed in the back of the book kept everybody busy for a whole day and writer's cramp became a common ailment. Eighty Pages The book has a hard cover which makes it a very perman- ent souvenir which would grace any book shelf. It has 80 well set- up pages. with feature stories and plenty of photographs. In the front and back is a two page spread of the High School. They tell me that it is the largest pic- ture that the printers were able to produce on their equipment. Incidentally the printers also say that the photography ranks far above the usual year book pic- tures. A new twist in class pho- tographs makes the Orbit stand out. The piipils aren't lined up in the standard three or four rows outside a doorway, but are pictured in their “natural envir- onment." such as in the shop ga- thered around a machine or in the gymn receiving instructions for a gym class. Another switch is that the graduates are pictured wearing graduation gowns. This is a welcome change from the usual photo of an Honom‘ Grad wearing a sweat shirt. Cadets & Track Next Year The literary efforts are good and the sports. humour, social, etc., sections are well written. The book covers all events from September to press time at Eas- ter. It is too bad that the Cadet Inspection and Track and Field news. which came after Easter, missed out but this will have to be held over for next year's book. Editors Work Hard Everybody made the Orbit a huge success -â€" the students who bought them, the advertisers, the Orbit Staff and the Staff Advis- ers. Special mention should go ‘to the Editorâ€"in-Chief Gwen Greaves and Supervising Editor Nancy Trenka. These two girls spent countless hours on proof- reading and laying out the pages.

MAY 22. 1884 Comments the Laskay corres- pondent: “Last week two young gentlemen were seen promenad- ing our streets at a very late hour, each in company with a gallant young maid. They seemed to tarry around Church St. as if in search of a minister. They had better return soon or they will have to go to Conference for a minister.” Mr. J. M.

Some man had fail- ed to treat her with proper def- erence. She said: “He spoke to me as if I were a scullery-mald." The question which came to my mind was, what is wrong with sculleryLmaids? It is a respectâ€" able occupation and no one need be ashamed of it. nor should they be treated with scorn. All useful work is honourable and for one person to look with contempt upon another is the essence of snobbery and ‘I cannot think of any attitude more un-Christian than that of scorn. The late Stanley Baldwin. when Prime Minister of Great Britain. said: “All service ranks the same with God." Here was recognition by a noble man that there is no place for snobbery in the family of human relation- ships. although we have to con- fess with shame that there is so much of it. An Author ,whose books have been widely circulated and greatly loved. was Rev. John Watson, who used the pen-name Ian Maclaren. He wrote “Beside the Bonnie Brier Bush and many other books which pictured hum- ble Scottish life. In the little Presbyterian Church in Scotland where John Watson worshipped as a child there was an old man whose humble. reverent face made a great impression upon the lad. He thought he must indeed be a great man. One day, while walking along the road. young Watson saw this elder breaking stones, which was a very humble occupation. For a while he was bitterly disappointed; he hurried home to his father, who was the local doctor, and told him what he had seen. His father laid his hand on his shoulder and said.. “James breaks stone for a living. but he knows more about God than any person I have ever met. Remember that the best man that ever lived on this earth was the poorest, for our Lord had not where to lay his head." John Watson never forgot that lesson. As long as he lived he remem- bered that the poor and humble might be kings and priests be- fore God. We read in the Bible that God inspires the ploughman in his task. God loves humble people and he needs them. He needs them to plough fields, build housesand even break stones. Nearly a century ago the Eng- lish novelist. George Eliot, ex- pressed this in her poem “Stradi- varius” when she made the violin- maker say: When the great scientist, Mich- ael Pupin was a lad living in what was then known as Serbia. he made his first journey on a train. The conductor treated him with utter contempt, addressing him throughout as Swineherd. The awkward lad suffered in silence. Pupin came to America, worked his way through Harvard Univ- ersity and soon became a famous man. He returned to his native land for a visit. When he board. ed the train near his home, the same conductor was on board. His manner to the American professor was very deferential and humble. Dr. pupin was amused. He said: “How little he knew that he had once called me a vulgar swine- herd." . . . My work is mine. And. heresy or not, if my hand slacked I should. rob God â€" since he is fullest good â€" Leaving a blank instead of vi- olins. I say not God himself can make man’s best Without best men to help him . . . . . ’Tis God gives skill But not without men's hands; he could not make Antonio Stradivarl's violins Without Antonio. MAPLE JERSEY HERD Many outstanding records have recently been completed by the Jersey herd of William Lawson, Vaughan Acres, Maple, Ont. The leader in this group is Vaughan Standard Annabelle who, at 7 years of age, in 365 days, produc- ed 12,520 lbs. of milk, and 758 lbs. of fat. If this daughter of the superior sire. Edgeley Stand- ard Noble Lad freshens in time, she will be awarded a Gold Med- al Certificate. Vaughan Standard Esther. a daughter of the tested sire, Edgelea Basil Consort, has com- pleted a senior yearling record in 365 days in the Vaughan Acres herd, of 9,091 lbs. of milk. and 429 lbs. of fat, qualifying for a Silver Medal certificate. This is an outstanding production for a heifer that went on test before she was two years of age. The junior 2 year old, Vaugh- an Standard Teena, who has been awarded a Silver Medal certifi- cate for her record of 9,688 lbs. of milk and 511 lbs. of fat in 305 days is a daughter of the super- erior sire, Edgeley Valiant Stan- ard. Sunday Afternoon Vaughan Standard Bonnie has also been awarded a Silver Med- al certificate for her senior 2 year old record in 365 days of 9,036 lbs. of milk, 495 lbs. of fat.
