m You can “repay a sleep debt" if necessary. Even though you have had an hour or two less sleep than us- ual, each night for a week, a single late morning sleep makes up the shortage and leaves you as alert gs ever. The powerful barbiturate sleeping pill is safe when used according to pre- scription but dangerous if allowed to become habitual. The article warns that though the milder non-prescrip- tion pills are safer, the effects of their constant use are not yet known. Only a minority is kept awake by coffee. Many falsely believe thaj: wake- Will Install Your Plumbing & Heating Also Cover Renovations Low Interest Rates Available n. “Normal” length of sleep differs among individuals. Five or six hours are probably sufficient if you find that (a) you can wake at the right time without an alérm, and'(b) you are not sleepy during waking hours. ‘ Canada has experienced remark- able industrial development in recent years and prospects are bright for con‘ tinued growth and development. Rich- mond Hill has many natural advant- ages and should be an attractive site for industry wanting to locate in this section of the country. However many other places also have many natural attractions and in the field seeking new The task assigned to the Commis- sion is not an easy one, and there should be no discouragement or disap- pointment if results do not come over- night. You can get by with less than the “normal eight hours of sleep, but there is no cure for snoring,” according to September Reader’s Digest. There is general satisfaction with the action of Richmond Hill Municipal Council in appointing an Industrial Commission. There is general approv- al also of the personnel of the Commis- sion made up as it is of well qualified, public spirited citizens with a wealth and variety of experience in the indus- trial and business world. We join with the citizens of the community in extending best wishes for success to the Commission ’in its undertaking to promote the industrial growth of the district. “I don'fcaro if i! was your firs} level" An opportunist is a person who knows that he can' get the most for his building materials dollar here.

Drop by and we'll show you why. Can Help Sleep‘is so basic to life, says Read< er’s Digest, that a man probably could not live ten days without it, though he might live six weeks without food. A sudden awakening, caused by a shout or a Strident alarm, can have an ill effect. Alarm clocks shoula have a soft, long call. Few persons sleep so deeply as to require a. loud, shocking alarm. Sleeping on one’s back produces the loudest snoring and the most lurid dreams. Snoring cannot be cured but its intensity may be diminished by dis- couraging back-sleeping. Try a pad at- tached to the back of the pajama or gown. ‘ Best wishes to the Richmond Hill Industrial Commission in the work they have undertaken on behalf of this municipality and may they have the kind of co-operation and backing from all the community which will make success possible. The Commission in its work shouldhave the active co-operation and assistance of every citizen. If we are sincere in our desire for industrial development let each and every citizen lend every possible assistance to the members of the Commission. The var- ied contacts of citizens generally and particularly business people can be of valuable assistance to the members.

CARTER The Liberal Office now offers a full line of Redi- form business forms includ- ing an excellent Requis~ ition book in either dupli- cate or triplicate. Not only for school work but for any type of business where large numbers of purchases are made the Rediform Requisiâ€" ion books are an easy way to maintain a complete rec- ord of all purchases. With the opening of school I: on September 6, teachers in the schools of the district will be making up supply lists for fall classes. A prop- er order form is a great help to teachers and principals in keeping requisitions busi- ness-like and it also enables ‘school boards tokeep a full record of school require- ments and purchases throughout the school year. Already, several schools in the district have found re- quisition forms ‘a con- venient way of ordering school supplies. Drop into the Liberal 0f- fice today and look over the wide selection of ready- printed business forms ar- ranged to meet the needs of every business, large or small.

A friend and I were .on a walking tour during our holidays in Hampshire, when a car stopped and the gentleman said, “Going my way boys?” We hop (1 in and on the way we noti ed the drivers of one- horse carts touch their caps to him'in salute as they passed. We found out later it was the Re: Changes In Transportatioh Dear Mr. Editor: I was about 10 years old be- fore I saw a truck. It was used to deliver goods once a week to a local store. We kids used to wait long before it was due and then .try to race it. It caused as much excitement as a cir- cus. Modern cars, trucks and transports are so taken for granted today, that few of the rising generation realize the remarkable changes that have taken place in the lifetime of men under seventy. As a boy in London, Eng- land, I sayv steam rollers, pre- ceded by a man waving a red flag. The speed, I should judge would be barely three miles per hour. I understand this procedure was compulsory by law. It may have been slow but a lot safer than a shooting match going on between cars flying at 80 miles per hour as reported recently in the press. On the second day more games were played and to ev- erybody’s delight, a tug-of-war was announced. There was a lot of fun about that tug-of- war, and the two captains went about their business of selecting men carefully. Who That is what happens when people are pulling in different directions. They accomplish nothing. Some years ago we were crossing the Atlantic and, as so often happens, time was hanging heavy and some en- terprising man organized deck sports. That was a bright idea and it helped some people to forget that they were feeling seasick. They got something else to think about.” A man was hurrying along a street when he saw a friend ac- ross the road struggling with a heavy trunk in a doorway. Ala ways willing and eager to do anyone a good turn he crossed the street and said: “Wait a moment and I'll help you with that trunk.)' So the two of them went at it with every ounce of strength they pass essed. They tugged and pull- ed for ten minutes until they were both exhausted and the trunk had scarcely moved an inch. "Let’s keep it up," said the helper, “We ‘have another try and I believe We can get it out yet." People -interested in sports know that a team made up of star players is seldom as good as a team of ordinary players. because the stars haven’t learn- ed to play together. Each play- er wants ‘to be a stand-out, and no one is willing to play sec- ond fiddle. Sometimes it hapu“ pens in the home, at business, in‘ a church, and most of all in international affairs. But sheer egotism is responsible for much of the world’s troubles; there are a lot of fine people in the world, but when they pullin opposite directions. there can- not be much progress.

Yours truly, \Arthur Bursill, , Where thro the long-drawn aisle and fretted vault, The pealing anthem swells the note of praise." Everywhere we went we met this type of kindly people. That masterpiece of poetry, Gray’s Elegy, epitomizes.their lives. Two verses follow: ”Now you, ye proud, impute to these ‘the fault If memory o’er their t_omb no trophies raise Earl of Beaulieu (pronounced Bewlay). He owned a chunk‘of land which included whole villages. We stayed over the week-end with one of his farmhands. We had two nights lodging and five meals each and believe me, Mrs. Farmhand knew how to feed two teenagers. On the Monday morning we got ready to start again, and asked how much we owed. She said, “Will one and six (360) each be too much?” No one can do their best if home atmosphere is not kind and gracious. That was a fine thing Dr. John Watson (Ian Maclaren) said: “Let us be kind to each other; we are all having a hard time.” The rest of the passengers lined up like fans at a baseball game. Then the pulling’ beâ€" gan, and to everybody’s amaze- ment the side which looked less likely to win pulled their rivals across the line. Nobody could understand it, but a sec- ond test was made and the same thing happened‘again. We heard a lady say recent- ly that she belonged to a large family where there wasn't much give and take; the atmosâ€" phere was lacking in toleration. The result was that every con- versation became an argument: all very capable people but all wanting their own way. That was a fair and honest confess- ion.

The big fat fellows who weighed anywhere from two hundred pounds to two hundred and fifty, or the lighter and more agile ones?

Growth of Richmond Hill was accented by registration at both the public and high schools when they fe-opened on September 5. An increase of roughly 25% was recorded at both institutions. At the public school 517 registered on opening day while there were 315 recorded at the ‘high school.
