Liberal Published Over Three-Quarters Of A Century Printed Words Form Vital Part Of Village Since 'First Paper In 1857 In carrying a series of news items regarding the history of Richmond Hill environs by the Late William Harrison, it. is in- teresting to read his recollect- ions on the progress of a com- munity newspaper in th district from the first issue of ihe York Riding's Gazette in 1857 to the present day Liberal which is still serving the area after more than three-quarters of a century. Mr. Harrson writes, “Every vil- lage that has any pretensions to size is surrounded by an in- teiligent reading community. wealthy enough’to support it â€" ought to have a local paper. Hanging a local paper on each milestone along the highway of Canada‘s progress is a tribute to man's go-ahead-itiveness. and an advance agent on the road to a Nation’s prosperity. Thoughts similiar to these were floating through the minds of some of bur leading villagers 51 years ago lfrom the time of wri- tingl, when they thought that the interests of our town would be better represented by having something in the shape of a lo- cal newspaper. A good deal of local talent had been going to waste,in the circulation of squibs and fly sheets in poetry and prose known as "Crickets" which hop- ped around on summer evenings without a "local habitation or a name" on which the responsi- bility could be shouldered. It was thought that some of the rustic efforts at perpetrating lit- erature might be crystallized .and be presented to the public in a more readable shape. and the idea culminated in the fermation of a Joint Stock Company called the “Richmond Hill Printing Company.” Specifications were got up for th'e‘issuing of a week- ly newspaper. The prospects ap- peared in due time with the opâ€" inion that there was room in the ‘ County of York for another lo- cal paper and contained the Us- ual promises toymake‘this a first class literary journal. one cap-l able of taking a manly and in- dependent stand on all the im-1 portant questions of the day. It was also the intention of the publishers to keep pace with the requirements of the country. The new aspirant for public patronage was to overflow with British Loyalty, to be Conserva- tive in politics. and to be 75, 6d a year, in advance. On June ‘12, 1857, our first newspaper the “York Riding's Gazette and 'Richmond Hill Ad- ertiser" made its first bow to the public with the motto: â€" “With or without offence to friends or foes, We sketch the world exactly as ‘it goes? â€" Byron. - The York Riding‘s Gazette was placed under the manageâ€" ment of Mr. Wm. Trudgeon. a smart young fellow who was then looming up to promise as a prominent politician in East York. His introductory address to readers of the Gazette contain- ed the following: â€"- “When the press is prosperous. the Coun- try is supposed to be in propor- tion prosperous and happy. We trust that the success of the York Ridings Gazette will in- spire the public with a high op- inion of the prosperity of Rich- mond Hill, destined 'as'it is to‘be the metropolis of this fine Coun- ty of York, the Metropolitan County of this great‘ and happy Province." ‘From this date we look back half a century and exclaim, “Al- as! for disappointed ambition." The Gazette contained besides the local news, a list of 80 acts passed by .the Parliament just then prorogued. with the prom- ise of the balance in the next week's issue, an editorial a col- umn long, pitching into the Gov- ernment for its do-nothing, poli- cy, a fire at Victoria Square, an account of the arrest of the no- torious Townsend, and a list of the letters remaining in the Villa age Post Office. As a village we were elated over our juven- ile effort along the line of jour- nalism, and naturally the Gazette was welcomed in every'home.~ One of our enthusiastic citizens went into poetry and‘ delivered his pent-up admiration in the following lines: â€" “Hail to thee our new made ‘ friend, In thee wisdom with true riches blend. In thee greater treasure we cani find' i Than rests in Peru, or Potosi‘s mine. We need not search the world‘ around, For news at home, _in thee is found; And in thee. learning does with wit combine To please the fancy. or to store the mind. ‘Tis thine to aid and lend a help- ing hand, To spread Great Britain’s free- dom through the land. Then onward press. for ’tis a noble aim To spread our country’s an? our nation's fame. Let freedom be the watchword. and onward let it roll, Till freedom’s shout is heard to ‘ reach from pole to pole. However gratifying our first paper was to our fellow citizens, as stockholders we soon got sick of our venture into the realm of journalistic literature. The run- ning expenses far exceeded our calculations. Paying at the rate of four dollars a column for ed- itorial matter and for other mat- .erial in proportion, we found that all the dividends were declared on the wrong side. The stock went belpw par so fast that it dwindled out of sight, so that the speculation became neither plea- sant nor profitable. In the same year Mr. Trudgeon bought up the stock and became sole proprieâ€" tor. and the York Ridings Gazâ€" ette became the “British Trib- une." The change of ownership. however, did not secure a change for better management, and the British Tribune also be- came a financial failure. In March 1858 the plant again changed hands, and the Qaper came out as the ‘Commonwealth' with the following address to its patrons: â€" The politics of the Commonwealth will be thorough- 1y Liberal and it will not fall to advocate such reforms in the Constitution as are essential to good and economical govern- ment." Scott & 00., Props. March 25. 1859, the Common- wealth‘came out as an indepen- dent journal under thé propriet- orship and editorial management of MalcOlm Macleod. who chang- ed the heading to “The York Herald" with the motto: â€" "Let sound reason weigh with us more than public opinion." A This move proved of short dur- ation owing to an injudicious re- mark in one of the editorials, publc opinion weighed so heav- ily against its style of reasoning that on May 19 the same year, the ownership was vested in the hands of the late Alexander Scotlw under whose shrewd and economical management the sha- ky concern became firmly estabâ€" lished and entered a career of usefulness and success. The York Herald was well susw tained at home and liberally patâ€" ronized abroad. On January 27, 1860, there was a large and inâ€" fluential meeting in the town of Aurora for the purpose of iden- tifying Aurora with the “York Herald,” Mr. Machell, J.P., presiding. The chairman in his opening address said that Aur- ora was suffering in its interests for want of a paper to represent it. The result was the follow- ing resolution: â€"- Moved by Wm. Moser J.P., and seconded by Wm. Smith J.P., that it is ex- pedient that we annex Aurora with the Richmond Hill paper, that the interests of this village may be adequately'represented therein and that a notice there- of should be sent to two of the Toronto papers. The decision of the meeting was backed up by 50 subscribers. So that the present thriving and enterprising town of Aurora was ohce dependent on Richmond Hill'for its intelliâ€" gence. In 1863 the "Herald" suspend- ed issuing. The proprietor got sulky and shut down with the valedictory: â€" “We had hoped ,that our' eff.- .orts to make this periodical a necessary and even a profitable institution of Richi’hond Hill, would in time have been fully appreciated, but this hope has been disappointed most com- pletely and as we are quite as in- dependent as those whose duty it was to support an organ. we have neither bent the knee in abject supplication. nor modified one iota of our principles to dis- grace our paper for mercenary sustenance. We now bid farewell to the editor‘s desk with its nur- sery for fostering foes and sev- ering friends}? The establishment continued a job printing office until 1865 when the Herald again bobbed up serenely, and made another bid for popularity, by introduc- Sanitary Contractor Drains Cleaned & Repaired C.

' We now realize that Johnny, as well as his parents, needs some preparation for this experi- ence. As part of this prepara- tion, “Pre-School Round-ups" were held in all the larger schools in this area, during last June. Public Health Nurses from the York County Health Unit were present at these “Round-ups." to explain to the mothers how they could get their child ready for School next fall.
