He asked “of all the necessary capital expenditures in this 1960 Program. what item should have priority?"

(’By Jane Fbrt Manning) parlance/f â€" FAMOUS REFUGEE Eighteen years ago we were concerned about the refugees from Hitler dominated Europe. Many of these people have en- riched our lives in the years since. One of them, I remember became a philosophy professor at the University of Georgia, until persons from varied fields and the professors among them asked Dr. Einstein to answer technical- ities of mathematics pertaining to the theory of relativity. He ex- plained that the relativity theory must be seen as a whole and not taken in parts away from other should have top priority;- namely the new sidewalk on the west side of Bayview avenue. My reasons for this are las follows: (1) Bayview is heavily travel- led by pedestrians, with child- ren walking to school, housewives to the shopping plazas and the fall we shall have high school students walking on BaY- View to their new high school. (2) Cars in the summer pick up speed on Bayview Avenue and have a clear run, without stop signs from the Markham Rd. to the Bayiew Plaza. For this reason there have been many near ac- cidents and the safety factor alone would warrant the Bayview in- MM platens AGUARDIANS OF (I concern in this I'Oblem and eived b members of County Council in a misguided spirit of Gene theories of mathematics.

A resolution, adopted unani- mously at last Thursday night’s special session stated that the county recog- nizes the urgent need of more hospital accommodation, and asked the two ex- isting hospital boards for a complete re- port to be considered at the June ses- sion. In recent years there have been rumblings of criticismof County Coun- cils as a part of municipal administra- tive systems. There have been sugges- tions that they have outlived their use- fulness and should be abolished. If York County Council accepts the chal- lenge presented this week and takes the lead in placing our hospitalization on a sound and efficient basis, they will put an end to such rumblings and will prove they can face up to a problem which higher levels of government have too long overlooked. County Council action was taken following representations made by Mr. Douglas H. Storms, Chairman Of the re- cently chartered York Central Hospital Association. Some weeks ago a tem- hearted approval of the citizens of the county. There may have been a day when hospitalization could be considered a luxury, but that day is far past. In this modern age hospitalization is a necessâ€" ity, just as roads, schools and water- works systems are necessities. This beâ€" ing the case, why do we continue to leave hospital construction to the un- certain support of charity? We agree with Mr. Storms that passing the hat is not the right method of financing hospitals needed by our people. The suggestion to make the county a unit for hospital planning and finan- cing seems to be an excellent one. and we commend County Council for prompt acceptance and quick action in asking for a survey and report at the June ses- sion. , It is an undisputable fact that there is a crying need for more hospital beds in York County. Many people suffering serious illness need hospital care and cannot get it because no beds are avail- State University System - over student protest I might add. Later in New York City I at- tended classes taught by the em- inent U. S. theologian, Dr. Paul Tillick, then a refugee, and came to know several other refugee families and heard their stories of travail. How sad it is to realize that all these days and years have passed and there are still refugee camps. Refugee and Education This week, as we're all thinkâ€" ing of what we can do to help clear these camps, I recalled the afternoon I spent with Dr. Albert Einstein and a group of refugees he had invited to see him at Princeton, New Jersey. I wrote then: Well-stocked with enough dra- ma lo keep a fiction writer busy on a number of stories was the meeting Saturday of Albert Ein- stein with “new citizens” of this country, for the most part Jewish refugees from Germany and Aus- tria. ‘ Dr, Einstein greeted them, num- bering around a hundred, in the quiet, simple. surroundings of the your elements.” Germany Must Be Divided From the math the conversa- tion went on to philosophical and political topics and in re- gard to the latter, Einstein ap- peared to believe that if there is to be peace in the world there must be central organization, and that Germany must be broken in- to small parts, or the problem of solidarity of action of Germany will not be solved. He asked the group to approach their new activities in a new country with a natural reason- ableness, to forget the prejudices of the past, and to rise above any prejudices they might ac- quire. Dr. Einstein’s introducer, a member of the faculty of the Princeton Seminary, spoke of his great scholarship, but his greatâ€" er humility, of his interest in students, and the way in which he had adjusted himself to the temperament of the American student, and how at home he was in his adopted surroundings. He told of the great love small child- ren in Einstein’s neighbourhood have for the man with the kind My disappointment is that this year’s Works Committee did not see fit to recommend this side- walk from the Bayview Plaza to the Markham Rd. However the short stretch of a sidewalk from Bayview Plaza to Crosby Avenue is a step in the right direction (no pun intended) â€"- and again should warrant top priority and quick implementa- tion.

At present the county has only one hospi- tal, located at Newmarket, where the accommodation ‘is now overtaxed and an extensive building program is under consideration. In his presentation to County Council, Chairman Storms made a force- ful plea for action to meet the hospital needs of the county, and brought for- ward something new in a very practical suggestion for hospital planning and fin. - ancing. ‘ He suggested a thorough and inde- pendent survey Of hospital needs of the county and a recommendation by quali- fied authorities as to the best and most economical means of meeting these dition which must not continue in York County. The special session of York County Council last Thursday evening may mark the dawn of a new era in hospit- alization. The resolution asking for the survey and report for the June session may have marked the beginning of a new and more realistic approach to the whole problem of hospital building and administration. We are impressed by the attitude and action of York County Council and are confident the members will meet the challenge Of the situation with vision and ccurage. If they do they will have earned the everlasting gratitude of the people of this county and will have given the lead in meeting a great humanitarian need in a manner which may well be followed by other counties in the province. Molhers Dayâ€"success and Defeat! Miss Anna Jarvis was the prime mover in establishing Mother’s Day. During the period of mourning follow- mg her mother’s death in 1905, she con- ceived the idea of establishing a Moth- er’s Day for everybody. From her home in Philadelphia she conducted one Of the strangest and most effective letter-writing campaigns in history. She wrote to anyone with any influence and received such tremendous response that she had to devote her time wholly to her crusade. Her own house was too small to serve as an Office so she bought the house next door for addi- tional space. She was invited to visit other Cities and speak to various organi- zations about her plan. She wrote and published booklets about her idea and distributed them free of charge. The fact that her inheritance was dwindling away never bothered her. . US. President Woodrow Wilson Signed the proclamation which urged that the second Sunday in May. the an- niversary of her mother’s death, be ob served as Mother’s Day. But this was ~22 INDUSTRIAL Rd, TU. 4 - 5368 MOTOR TUNE-UP STARTER VOLTAGE REGULATOR - COMPLETE ELECTRICAL SERVICE not enough for Anna. She wanted the Day to be international and she was successful. During her lifetime Canada and 42 other countries adopted Mother’s Day. But Anna’s triumphs were mixed with frustrations. Her Day was being commercialized by individuals and or- ganizations who had found a way to make money out of it. Soon she was writing in despair to hundreds of news- papers, complaining that she wanted Mother’s Day to be a day of sentiment, not one of profit. She despised manu- facturers of greeting cards, candy, and others who were exploiting her Day. She regarded florists as her principal enemies; they were profiting from her mother’s favorite flower. the white car- nation. By now the money Anna had inher- ited was gone. Suddenly she locked her- self up with her sister in their home and refused to see anybody. She died in 1948, terribly bitter that she had ever started Mother’s Day. RICHMOND HILL TIL 4 - 5368 GENERATOR CARBURETOR He stood there in front, with a black pipe in his hand until he remembered to put it in his poc- ket, a kindly, old, white-haired gentleman in his familiar brown tweed coat buttoned close around his neck. His forehead was filled with deep wrinkles and there were crinkles around his eyes. His audience was composed of remains of the non-political as- pects of the League of Nations. To such a sad ending I add the postscript of thankfulness that we have the United Nations or- ganization. It is the hope of a peaceful political future. Let us all keep such an interest in _it that it won't fade away as did the League of Nations. FACTS and ' . FAITH A weekly Comment On Christian Life And ‘Action â€" By Calvin H. Chambers -â€"- JOYFUL CHRISTIANITY Could you be joyful in jail? Paul was! I didn’t say he was “Happy”, because happiness has to do with happenings. And what was happening to Paul was any- thing but pleasant. A Roman prison was not designed to make a man feel at home. They were small, damp, gloomy. The average man would have been in the depths of despair. To put it col- loquially, he would have had “a real case of the blues”. Why was Paul’s reaction to the prison so different? In his letter to the Philippian Christians he never once refers to his prison sufferings, yet he‘speaks fre- quently of his deep Joy. The sec- ret lies in his relationship to Jes- us Christ. Before our Lord died He said to His disciples, “My joy I give unto you, not as the world giveth, give I unto you”. Paul had met the living Christ on the Road to Damascus, and had entered im- mediately into a new relationship with God through Him. The gra- cious goodness of God toward him, a rebellious sinner, had touched his heart, and changed his life. From that moment on he began to grasp the meaning of religion. He discovered that it was not a technique in which we get our own need satisfied. Ra- ther. it is yielding oneself wholly to the purposes of God, whatever happens. In this yielding of self totally to God is the secret of in- ness. but the opposite of unbe- lief". Happiness is like a shallow river which makes a lot of noise as it bubbles along. But, Joy 15 like a deep river which makes little sound as it flows majestical- lv to the sea. We can only find joy as there is committment of God. Jesus and the Christian Gospel say that the starting point is the Cross. It is at the cross that we are forced to come to grip with the sin which ruins our relationship with God. At the cross \se discover that although our sin is great and worthy of judgment, that Someone has as- sumed the burden for us that we might have the joy of forgiveness in our hearts. This is the most important discover we can make. Describing Christian's experience on losing his burden at the cross, John Bunyan says in Pilgrim‘s Progress. "Then was Christian glad and lighlsome. and said with a merry heart, He hath given me rest by His sorrow and life by His death . . . Then Christian gave three leaps of joy, and went on his way singing”. . The knowledge of God as Sav- iour leads automatically to the recognition of Him as Lord. God said to the children of Israel, “When I have brought you out of the land of Egypt, then shall ye know that I am Lord”. It is through deliverance from sin that the knowledge of God’s rightful lordship begins to assert itself in our lives. As we surrender to His sovereign control in our lives, we know what it is to have joy and peace in believing. One of the great hymns puts it this way: For we never can prove the de- lights of His love Until all on the altar we lay. For the favour He shows And the joy He bestows Are for those who will Trust and obey. g NEW WORK â€" ALTERATIONS â€" REPAIRS I ROGER PROULX PLUMBING & HEATING ‘ W nel‘Drlfxldeslie Weatherhead has Free Eatmates Gladly G'le said, “the word happiness is not great e“°“g‘i‘° “em-""9 2"“? is “Wm” 62 Crosby Ave. t b; C ristian Joy, or Joy . ige‘liert the Opposite of unhappi- TU‘ 4'1650 RICHMOND HILL Goodyear is sending a shipment of English garden flowers in pale yellows, blue, apricot and crimson; Stocks, gladiolas, roses. carnations and delphinium.
