He was an outstanding success in the municipal field and was recog- ‘nized as one of the best Wardens in the County history. - There is general regret that Reeve W. J. Taylor is retiring at the end of the year due to ill health. A member of Richmond Hill Council for eleven years, he served as Reeve for the past seven years and rendered outstanding service to the municipality. The number of votes cast in munâ€" ‘icipal elections throughout the provâ€" ince is not encouraging. In the great city of Toronto a Mayor, Board of Con- trol and slate of aldermen were elected by thirty per cent of the voters. -In BOWDEN LUMBER CO. ‘In one polling sub-division where there were three hundred and sixteen names on the voters' list, not a single vote was cast. The township author- ities engaged a voting place, printed ballots, and engaged a deputy-return- ing officer and poll clerk, but it was all wasted. Not onerperson voted. . Four citizens offered themselves in the public service as School Trustees ‘for the coming two year term on the School Board for Township Area N um- ‘ber 1, Markham and Vaughan. Of the thousands entitled to vote. a shocking small percentage took the trouble to cast a vote.

The people have chosen good representatives, but ‘all. councillors and school trustees will do a better job if they are supported by an interested electorate. Meetings of school trustees and municipal coun- cils are open to the public and we hope in the coming year more and more ratepayers will avail themselves of the opportunity of attending council and Municipalities in this part of On- tario face particularly difficult prob- lems, and the elected representatives of the people have aSSumed great re- sponsibilities.

He always received gen- erous support at the polls at the hands of his fellow electors and was accorded several acclamations. A man of defin- ite opinions he took a firm stand on issues'coming before council and was not easily swayed by pressure groups. We talk about the danger and threat of communism, but there are other factors threatening democracy, and one is apathy of the electors. An electorate which does not take the trouble to vote is asking for trouble. It is an open invitation for undesirable candidates to seek'and attain office. It can be done by selling a candidate to a very small percentage of the elec- tors. Vaughan where a Reeve was elected for a two year term only 32 per cent of the eligible ratepayers voted. Here in Richmond Hill the showing was even worse and only slightly more than thirty per cent of the people voted. Less than a third of the electors care who is goingto spend their money next year. In the coming year let us lend a willing hand to help those who at con- siderable sacrifice are looking after our public busine'ss. Let us remember that our elected representative is a volunteer, giving his time and talent in public service with very little if anything in the way of financial remuneration. He is try- ing his best to serve the best interests of all the people and in his job of serv- ing us deserves courtesy and co-opera- L. ulOIl. Too often, too many people con- sider it the privilege of a ratepayer to “tell off” his elected representative every so often. This_is some peOple’s idea of democracy.

He acknowledges that thanksgiving is the basis of life. Worship gives us the opportunity to give thanks to God for the blessing of this life, and the gift of His Son who is Life. Corpor- ate worship bears witness to the fact that we are not groveliing animals. but living spirits whose inner life must be nourished and fed by the things of the Spirit. Private worship is certainly help- ful for day by day spiritual growth, but corporate worship brings us together with others who share the same basic convic- tions which we do concerning the spiritual realities. Thirdly: The Lord's Day gives us an opportunity for Christian service. The Gospels show us that our Lord was an active man (Continued on Page 7) éYangtze Fag-0035 9 Restaurant is doing damage to his physical, mental and spiritual life.

I hope next year they will go back and have the voting day the first Monday in December. the same as the City of Toronto. There should be a set date for all municipal elections. It would create more interest and might help a large vote. Th}, Purpose of the Lord‘s Day: Please allow me through your columns to express appreciation for the Saturday voting day.

Sporting goods stores have guns . . . not to shoot HIM with, for him to shoot of course, they have fishing tackle, the hardware stores can provide him with all the extra gear to carry the gear in, to carry his refreshment in. Big tools can be found. While not forgetting the Tanganyikan carvings you can lean to the practical and smart with a real “man’s red” viyella waistcoat or Jantzen’s newest straight bottomed vests. We have three jewellery stores which display the latest in costume pieces, ranging from the sophisticated wrought copper to scintillating glitter sets (and one store has some wonderful quite mad dinner rings). For that special girl thereare diamonds up to one carat (and that’s» a large diamond , . . half a carat is quite big enough). There are Swiss watches and men’s luggage as well as several that carry matched ladies’ sets in pastel shades. , In the gift shop in the Yonge street shopping sec- tion are bridge table sets that he might fancy . . . everything all in one and to match, cards, score pad and table cover in terrific colors and- designs . . . terrific, not terrifying. Here you can find Ikora silver with its unusual patina, fine‘linens again, a counter of those little extra somethings to tuck in here and there in Christmas boxes. The very wrappings that the big cosmetic com- panies dress up their holiday wares makes them glam- orous and almost irresistible for gifts and nearly all the famous brands are carried in our drug stores through- out the town. And Christms candies, 'and cards, inclu- ding the newly popular comic cards . . . they can all be had right here. 7 . ~ AlSo flowers, whose cool beauty can add so much to any room, which always make such wonderful presents, can be had from the two elegant flower shops both in the centre of town. - There’s only one musical store though. Here can be found the big stereophonic sound machine for a “to each other” feature of this gift-giving season, or a. portable that will make your teen-age daughter starry-eyed and transistor sets to make her big brother (or Dad) really whoop with joy. You can repeat the whoop with a tape recorder! ~ And all these and many other things, can be pur- chased Without fuss, and with no feathers mussed in Toronto traffic which is heavy on the crowded streets has line-ups for the-restaurants and standing room on the' buses! "' In Levendale toois another shoe store (the town’s second) where men’s Scott McHale fine shoes and the oh-so-comfortable O’omphies invite one inside for a try-on. There is a home decorating service (the hardâ€" ware stores throughout the town have the do-it-yOurself tools) that has papers and drapery fabrics to give yOur home its Christmas present. The Variety Stores cover a variety of little presents and some not so little, for when you gaze on a mechanical robot long enough it becomes very hard to resist a whole “extra” gift for that cub-sized boy or the complete modern kitchen for the just-at-school young lady (not forgetting the cook- ing set with real food we mentioned earlier).

Chinese paintings with exciting brush work would, make a wonderful gift to “him” or “her.” In the gift shops are Italian liqueur sets of colored glass or handmade Czeckoslovakian glass and Swedish crystal. Canadian-made is featured in the Baribocraft wood and the wood-like ceramics made in Kitchener. (The lovely lines of these have to be seen to be believ- ed). There are all types of easy-toâ€"look after place mats for modern and traditional table setting too. Richmond Heights Plaza, or Levendale, includes in its covered arcade a jeWeller, a lingerie, a furniture store and two gift shops, the newly-opened aquarium as well as hardware, ladies’ wear and children‘s shOp and delicatessen. In this part of the town are gathered together'high grade mechanics tools and fine chinese silks. ' The most modern of merchandising methods and displays lead your eyes to things such as an elegent car- ving board from which no roast can slip to embarrass the head of the house. The busy shelves of the variety store, the all-inclu- sive hardware and drug stores seem to run from sleds and toboggans all the way to artificial mistletoe and animated TV lamps on which a schoonerin full sail surges through the waves or an antique train engine hurtles across the prairie with fiery smoke pouring from its towering smoke-stack. The shoe store shows the latest trends, even tweed- and-calf combined in matching bags and shoes; packag- ed gloves for the man on your list, hat certificates (I can’t imagine myself choosing a man’s hat somehow) shirts, socks and of course ties, for how could we Christ- mas our men properly without an array of woman chosen ties? My tour took me through the Bayview Plaza with its twenty stores, a very self contained unit, for there was the medical building, the bank, the cleaner and the shoe repair, the restaurant, the beauty shop and the barber, as well as the sub-post office in the drug store. The plaza is owned by a Mr. B. Walker who lives in Toronto, the stores have been leased‘an'd their inter- iors fitted up by their tenants. The local bus service loops through the surrounding residential area to give good service to the shopping centre where you can find attractive casuals for ladies, dainty party frocks and cosy coats for children as well asnursery equip- ment, wagons, tricycl‘es, mechanical toys, musical toys, dolls, glamorous dolls to make little girls’ eyes bright: en on Christmas day . . . kitchen sets with real footkfor the young miss. - About now I feel like a shopping counselor!
