Richmond Hill ’In ‘1906 the wanship voted for the Local Option by-law and the munici. pality has been dry ever since. There Our old files reveal that liquor was first sold in Vaughan in the early eigh’ teen hundreds. There were many ho- tels heated at Steele’s Corners, Thorn- hill, Maple, and many other centres. G0vernment sale of liquor through outlets authorized by the Liquor Con- trol Board has been legal in Ontario for some twenty-seven years. but recogni- tion of the Local Option principle gives municipalities the right to decide whee ther or not such outlets are to he op« ened within their limits. WORKING WIT. (AKADIANS The vote was requested by the Munieipal COuncil after représentations by a large find répresentative delega- tion. ~ The Liquor question > is one on which there is a great diversity of op- ini'on, and we have no intention of tell- ing the people how to vote. However- we do urge every citizen to go to the polls and exercise the franchise. It is important that the verdict of the people of Vaughan next Saturday be a really representative expression of public op- iniOn. The iSSueB are clearly defined else- where in this iSSué and the places of vot~ ing have been well publicized along with the questions and hours of voting.

IN EVIIY VAL: or llPE SINCE Mwaa.:7;a}.;s:.:,: We know the péople of Vaughan Township are responsible and intelli‘ gent citizens and quite capable of mak- ing decisions on this or any other ques- tion. We are content to leave the deâ€" cisiOn to the geod judgment of the peo- ple and whatever the result we know Vaughan will continue to be a good place in which to live. There are many good citizens of Vaughan who will vote “no” and they are entitled to their views and opin- ions without being called narrow-mind- ed and hypocritical. There are many other good citizens who will vote “yes” Who are entitled to their views and opâ€" iniOns without being labelled as public enemies or tools of the liquor bamns. There is no need for bitterness or hard feelings. We should be tolerant of the views of others who may differ from us, and we should credit others with the same sincerity We claim for ourselves. The questions are ones on which there is and always has been a differ- ence of opinion. We trust our readers will give calm and careful consideration to the issues and go to the polls on March 19th and register their votes. Now that arrangements have been completed for the questions to be‘ Sub- mitted to the people, the decision rests with the voters. have been many changes since 1906, the township population has increased greatly and 1501' these and many more reasons we think the council was jus- tified in granting the request of rate- payers for an Expression of opinion. m 2 mu fibrinâ€"MK 44105 Paul's héart achéd as he heard hf thésé things. m this Iéttér which hé wroté with déép love in his héaff for Fuji érfifig 51-53. me. he called fie; has: a; Then there we‘re such things as incest. drunkeness at the Lord's Supper. brothér gain: to law a- gaiflsf brbther.

This kind 6f division over who was "best". revealed their spiritual immatur- ity. But Corinth was an exceeding- ly wicked city judged by -any standard. Even in ancient times. to call a man a “corinthian,” was to accuse him 0f being immoral. In spite of the fact that Corinth was a cosmopolitan city. with a high standard of intellectual life, the moral lone of the people was deplorable. It was in this kind of environment that the Corinthian believers were called upon to witness. “1 Corinthians" I wonder if you would have liked being a member of the First Christian Church in Cor- inlh. it was a congregation per- meated with many problems. It had' been founded on Paul’s se- cond missionary journey which had taken him into many of the cities in Greece. The Christians in this congregation had been converted to Christ by Paul's preaching, and a new Church was established to the glory of God. "Whats the good in taking La- tin anyway," is a popular dodge today with students, parents, and sometimes even teachers. Well whats the “use” in taking lit- erature or history I’d add. How- ever. the use and good of Latin outside of the enjOyment and challenge of learning a language is that it helps considerably with English and aids One’s cultural breadth, and intensive study of best preparation 'a parent can give a child previous to taking high school courses. especially academic subjects, is a respect and a familiarity with Latin, oth- er languages, math, science, his- toi‘y. etc. The‘ Terman study shows that children with relatively high I. Q. S. who come frdm middle- class homes. where their future earning ability is not of immed- iate primary importance to the family’s income, have the most incentive to continue their de- velopment. In other words if the parents think learning before earning is important then the child absorbs this attitude. The Any child, but particul- arly the child with an intellect- ual bent, and neither heredity, weath or position has cornered the market on brain power, should be exposed, not first in high school. but in childhood ‘to our finest books. (Books can be got at the public library if not available in the home.) And he must be encouraged to explore nature. and experiment. even if it means messing up the house and yard. Most of us would not be sur- prized at the Terman report out- come. We have observed that in- tellectual capacity and the ab- ility to make a good living or achieve fame or fortune, an not synomomous. Yet we must m against equating intellectual at- tainment with wbrldly success and realize that our stOre of knowledge and understanding has come principally from of- times seemingly inpractical in- tellectuals, and for them we must ever offer the finest in classical disciplines, and in artis- tic‘ and scientific techniques. And we must encourage them as parâ€" ents and teachers to partake of the best. Everyday parents are not a- lone nondering this phenomena. Educators find themselves up against the problem all the time. The Terman report published a few years ago which covers a twenty-five year study of 700 “gifted” California children grdwn to adulthood shows that, as we evaluate human success. many of even these gifted peo- ple fell by the wayside, and did not achieve the results possible with their intellectual equipment. How many mothers and fathers I've heard lately say, ‘we ihought Johnny would be a law- yer, or a doctor. or a scientist and now he doesn‘t know what he wants to do. And. they add, he’s not even studying. His grades in the first and second year of high school weren‘t bad but this year I don't think he’ll pass. he even threatens to drop out of school. But when Johnny becomes an adolescent it ceases to be a vume and becomes a. grim struggle of wits between the parents. and often the teachers, and Johnny to decide what he will do, or whether he’ll do anything at all. One of the great games of childhood is “What are you going to be when you grow up?” Fireman. policeman. doctor. lawyer, merchant chief â€" how pleasant are our youthful fantasies. FACTS and FAITH â€" By Calvin H. Chambers â€" A weekly Comment 011 Christian Life And Action Dpea/ein g (By Jane Fort Manning) nes: ‘first principles. He challenged ithem to remember that they were the “temples of the Holy Spirit.” Just as earthly temples created by man were set aside for holy purpOses. so the Christian must realize -that he has been set aside by God to live a life to His glory. It is only as the Holy Spirit takes possession of our hearts, that the power of evil is bi‘oken, hearts are cleansed, and lives empower- ed for vital Christian witness. It. spite of the fact that this Church had many problems which de- stroyed their Christian effective- ness. never once. did Paul deny their conversion to Christ, or suggest that they were not Christians. In his famous hymn of love. 1 Corinthians, 13. he di- rects them to the power of Christian love which always had and always will meet every hu- man need. . We don't live in the 19305, or the 18605, our problems are our own and we have to try in our own way to solve them. Perhaps in grand-father's day the solution was get out nd start earning as soon as possible. Our world is more complicated and more pre- paration is needed to cope with it. Lets let Our children try their wings if necessary. and if they return to the nest encburage them to attempt again to learn more so they can realize their in- tellectual fruition. If an adolescent is determined to try his wings I’m of the opin- ion- he should be allowed to do so with the full assurance he can return to school if he has the desire and will to do his best. Unless we're really ready To push them out of the nest the best parents can do with teen- agers is carry on in as quiet yet firm. manner as possible.‘and little by little let the birds fly. It is important. too. to have a child‘s intellectual growth a slow and gradual process. leading him with a steady. gentle hand. We cannot pressure a child at 15 or 18 with our ambitions far him. In fact the less pressure in the teens probany ends in- versely in the most accomplished. The seed. our children, mus-t be nourished essentially at home, the school can only help perfect the plant that it may bring forth good and beautiful fruit. Slow But Sure So just as important as fine schools are good homes provided by parents who are not con~ stantly worried about keeping and getting the means of earning a living. no‘ done its part. This is not to say that many women and men have not triumphed over poor home conditions because of their passionate desire to succeed. But with the majority, and that is what we are primarily thinking of. its a matter of two strikes toward failure. I do think skills should be taught in high school. typing shorthand. home economics. Show; whatever is needed. And they should be taught with imagina- tion and a chance for practical application. The majority of stu- dents must know how to do something whm they finish high school so they can start making a living. Its too bad if “gifted” pupils are not also taught the u of their hahds. It is said at no time is a person more at- tuned to learning skills than in early adolescence. But a school is after all just a training place for head and hands. It cannot and should not form the total existence for anv child. We cannot divorce our homes from 0' 1- schools. All the improvements in our schools we can put there cannot produee the men and women we desire our children to be if the home has t a Romans and the Greeks, and their civilization, is interesting and necessar; if we are to un- derstand and evaluate our heri- tage. And its not as difficult as painted either. After all ‘Shop’ is no sure-cure for poor students as some seem to feel. erdona i4, WHITCHURCH -â€" New emplnv- es hired by the townshia Will have to take‘ no residence within a year Council ruled. When are the residPnts going to be consulted hy Council in some of these matters? They do nay the bills. you know. We will have an opportunity later this year to voice an objecfion. The manner in which the Council also established the lar- rger school area in the Township without reasonable time being given for a broad discussion of the matter. much as we may a- gree with the concept. was also irresponsible. It is also noted in the press that the Reeve has said he will levy a tax with re. spect to the building of a hosni- tal in the area. Have the tax Davers expressed an opinion in the matter either for or against the omnosition and is this the practice followed elsewhere? I do not think so. I wish to say. however. con- cerning this and other matters, while the Council of the Town- ship of Vaughan has the legal right to grant a vote on the above question, many residents must, as I do, feel that the'Coun- cil should have said to those who came to them asking for a vote on this question. “When we have re -eived a real expression of op- inion from the residents who will have to Day the costs (ft/5.000.) a vote will be granted.” Having said this, a petition bearing the signatures of 25% of voting resi- dent: of the Township would have to be presented. On this basis the Council would be mor- ally justified in their action. In addition. if such a plebiscite had been held concurrently with the Municipal Elections or shortly following a Provincia‘l or Dom~ inion election. the cost to the residents would have been con- siderably reduced. I consider the‘ action of Council to some de- gree im‘esponsible. - This week the residents of Vaughan Township are asked to say yes or no with respect to ex- tension of Liquor and Beer out- lets. I suggest that we go t9 the polls and vote as our consolen'ce dictate.

Many had their minds completely relieved of their needless worries. Others were, enabled to get remedial care early enough to ensure a good recovery.
