Education costs now make up 50 per cent to 60 per cent of the ex- penditures most municipalities have to meet. This is certainly true in the-case of Richmond Hill where education costs in 1958 amounted to 60 per cent of the town’s total expenditures. Yet the only important change is that the provincial "government will now pay grants to- ‘Ward the cost of cafeterias as well as ordinary classrooms.

No new formula in the re- lations between the province and the «municipalities is proposed. The grants system will not be altered in principle, and the municipalities will continue to shoulder much ‘of the expenditure for social services and education. The 1959 provincial budget tabled re- cently in the OntarioLegislature offers nothing spectacular and from the gov- ernment viewpoint it could be consid- ered a safe election budget.

Richmond Hill YORK AND ONTARIO COUNTIES 36 YEARS EXPERIENCE PROF. N. J. THOMAS Licensed Auctioneer The budget is symptomatic of On- tario’s continuing growth. For the first time, the capital investment and repair expenditure program of the prov- ince, municipalities and various com- missionswill total more than $1 billion in one year. Last year, the figure Was $950 million. To that extent, the bud- get is a source of satisfaction. Not so satisfactory is the fact that Premier Frost clearly has no intention of reliev- ing the municipalities of the burden of sooial welfare and education costs so that local governments, which depend mainly on real property taxes for their revenue, can devote their attention to the services that benefit property. “This is a shocking record," says Canadian Library Week Council Chair- man Dr. J. R. Kidd, National Director of the Canadian Association for Adult Education. “Sir William Osler used to say that “money invested in a library gives much better returns than'mining‘ stock." But it is pretty clear where Can- adians put all their investments. A famous editor once wrote that “Canada has the money, but would rather spend it on whiskey than on bOOks.” Natur- ally we know Canadians must spend money on other things than books and libraries; but our aim is to improve the lamentable situation of reading in Can- ada with an active “Wake Up and Read” Campaign.” $261,300,000, is only $23,000,000 higher than last year. That means the rate of construction will be about the same; there will be no great leap forward. For the increase will do little more than help the government keep pace with Ontario’s expanding pOpulation. Budgeting for a surplus, the provin- cial government can have but a weak case for a revision of federal-provincial tax agreements in Ontario’s favor, es- pecially in view of the large deficit fac- ed by the Federal authorities. On the other handythe case of the poorer prov- inces may become stronger. Ontario’s 1959460 budget will undoubtedly have a national political impact, the results ‘of which will be watched with interest. ‘ Furthermore, the most recent Gal- lup Poll on reading habits showed that 32 per cent of those surveyed had not read a book in a full year or more. teenth among the world’s nations in book shops per capita.

Chambers â€" THOSE GIANTS ,OF'FEAR In .our highly sophisticated age we do not believe in literal giants. Fascinating atone: of monstrous creatures stalking the earth be- long to the rea‘lmcf childhood fantasy. But while‘ literal giants no longer molest us. there are giants of holes: significance. The disturbing fears which take hold of our minds arepften more dev- astating to out morale than many we have fears of the unknown, of loneliness, insecurity, disease and death. These fears take hold of our minds, taking on gigantic proportions. Some fifty years ago e writer like George Coe could state in a scientific journal, “Men, have ceased to fear. ‘We have our unsolved problems as did our fathers, but they‘awaken in us little fear.” These Words were written 54 years ago. Since then the atomic bomb and guid-' ed missiles have brought an end to such confidence. Two world wars in twenty-five years with a .third one staring at us. has awak- ened the profoundest and deepest kind oi! apprehension in ,men in every walk of life. Everywhere there are people who are lretiul, nervous, depressed, sleepless. Our fears are} affecting our bodily health, as well as our spiritual life. It is only natural than that We should be concerned to overcome the giants of fear, which menace our peace and 1 happiness. flow can we be victorious in .an' age which threatens to destroy " us. Certainly the Bible has the key to overcoming fear. . Giants can only be defeated by a power greater than they are; Fear can only be destroyed, by love.» John reminds us that "per- fiect love cast: out tear." We must bring our fear burdened hearts to Christ. The power of His expuls slve love is sufficient to put an end to the fears which often tore~ ment us. ' The next step in ,. mastering fear. is by faith. Now faith by itself is powerless. Faith by itselt is like an electric 'aWiteh not‘yét plugged in. Faith: must, be in contact with the séuree of' power and victory; God Himself. Your fears are not toov'gre'at hr the God who has defeated the sini of the wotld,end has brou ht life and immortality’to light 3!. the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. Trust in Him. and com- mit your fears teHim. This is not cowardice, but true childlike: ness. God is ,able to deliver His trusting children from their fears, David, the Shepherd boy. defeat‘ ed the great Goliath, not merely with small stones from the brook, but with big fgith. in {great God; We must first of all face our fears. whatever they are. Fears thrive in darkness lot "in half darkness. Our fears often lie in our sub~consoious and dog us like shadows. To “speak out” our fears to Christ, is‘ to set in motion the possibility of‘being freed from them. There are many people who try to master their fears by never thinking’ of them. This is the futile method of the» proverb- ial ostrich with his “head buried in the sand. There axe those who try to master fears by adopting a proud, defiant attitude. Both methods are bound to fail. nun 'Ilvo. y. _....-.- _.. _ In the war for the liberation of the Netherlands in 1573, the Prince of Orange wrote to Diet- rich Sonoy. the governor of the Northern Province, “You ask if I have enteredrinto a treaty with any great king or potentate. to which I answer, that before I ever took up the cause of the oppres- sed Christians in these provinces I entered into a close alliance with the King of kings, and I am firmly convinced that all who put their trust in Him shall be saved by His almighty hand}? If such a nobleman as the Prince of Orange found this true in the battle for Holland's freedom, can it be any less true for you and me as We do battle with the fears of lite?

As long as nobody mentions the y factor which is bound’ to have some influence on public opinions. I remember when there was expressed a .feeling that there was some discrimination where the‘new areas of the town were concerned and a civics conscious tea- cher of one class sent the children out to investigate this. One team of two covered the town by bicycle and announced that there certainly was discrimination . . . you could bicycle anywhere in the “new” areas, the roads were smooth and broad and flat, but oh! dear me! when you tried to get around in the “old” section . . . ‘At any time in Richmond Hill being the roads comâ€" missioner (if that’s his title) must be a thankless job, but from March 1 to May 1 it must be more thankless than at; other times . . . and from being more thanks less it must reach the pure abusiveista‘ge. if the winter has"b¢eni'a~iiery bad one, such as the ‘winter of ’53-’59.

Claus sentiment does not apply to municipal budgets, seemingly, especially where roads are concerned? What that proved I don’t really know, but it did bring once more sharply to mind that it used to be a good thing to use discrimination, it was a sign of balâ€" ance and clear thinking to be able to discriminate. Now perhaps we’ll not be able to use that word for a long, long time it, hasa dirty feel to it. But I keep thinking of that poor roads department, with all the snow and ice still in the ditches and the Weather forecaster being pessimistic with "snow at night, changing to rain by mid-morning”, and dire forebodings and Cassandra-like prophesyings of what sudden thawings could do, and all the roads department knowing that even if they do have every .‘éulvert clear- ed of ice the roads will still be impassable at the worst of times and impossible on normal“ days as the deep frost comes out of the ground and the water rises, and the mud thickens and the blood boils and every twenty-3 four hours brings its quota of angry telephone calls or letters'to the editor.
