Citizens of Richmond Hill and sur- rounding townships pay an annual levy to help finance the work of the Metro Toronto and Region Conservation Auth- ority. Figured over the entire area the cost is 40 cents per person. \ That's the cost of conservation to be levied against each of Metro Toronto and Region’s 1,610,860 citizens during the 1960 tax year, In today's, igh-cost-of-living world, one cannot buy'very much with 40 cents . . . materially. that is.

"human nature never changes," especially when we feel that a certain situation can nev- er be altered. But, while it is true that human nature of itself never changes, the glory of the Christian gospel is that it can change human nature. When we stop to think of the wonderful letters which the Ap- ostle Peter wrote to the early Christians, we must recognize this fact. Here was a man who was changed, not by his own ef- forts, but by the power of the Christian gospel. Peter as we know, was once a hot headed, impetuous, know-it-all disciple. One of the inner circle of Christ’s disciples, he did not hes- The progressive young Tory, with the big nose and the sar- donic smile, had a mind of his own, and early in life decided that his adopted country had the right to govern itself. He had an opportunity to assert his belief at the time of the repeal of duties on wheat in England and the sub- sequent wane of the grain trade. Canada’s Tories and some Liber- also signed a manifesto declaring for annexation to the United States. John A. Macdonaid re- fused to sign. He was determin- ed to save Canada’s inheritance, and his strong nationalism well qualified him for the role of chief orator of our national structure. (by Loraine Porter) That first of July in 1867 belonged to Sir John Alex- ander Macdonald, a Scot moulded in Canada. He was born in Glasgow on January 11, 1815, but his parents moved to Canada when he was five years old. The new country offer- ed the potential political genius opportunities that his quick mind eagerly grasped, and at twenty-one he was called to the bar in Upper Canada. Boundless vitality and drive, great vision and ability to lead men were his tools in building Canada’s political framework. Buoyant courage, sparkling wit, cheery optimism and remark- able resiliency were his weapons against poor health and léck of money as he worked toward his objective â€"â€" the confederation of an undeveloped. but potentially mighty Canada. And along the THE SOARING TAX RATE Dear Mr. Editor: After over four years of lite in the "Hill" â€"â€" pleasant years during which I’ve come to feel like an old resident -â€" so rapid has been the growth of this fair town; it is rather disturbing to be shocked out of one’s suburban complacency by the realization that one is apparently aboard a rudderless ship, rapidly heading for the financial rocks” After the wild slashings of thebudget preliminaries it was rea- sonable to expect that the ordin- ary ‘Joe’ was going to get through the next year with a shirt on his back --a 20% Tax Bike is guar- anteed to ensure that he won't, and this was a budget cut to the bone! Some of our councillors are not happy about the cuts; as a taxpayer. I’m not happy about the bone -â€" it sort of sticks in the gullet‘! It is not made any the more palatable by the fact that successive councils show no sign of learning from the mis- itakes of their predecessors. But let us forget the wastes and imistakes of the past which made 1a laughing stock out of the good ‘people of Richmond Hill. Let us begin to act like a responsible community where our finances are concerned. It will not be easy, the Dragon of Educational Costs has yet to meet a St. George capable of a deflationary thrust; a road of some descrip- tion must be put through to the main residential areas of the town -â€" obviously some money must be spent. “:Zxar m’. got/Eh»- ” However, there is incredible talk around town. of going to work again on the recently finish- ed Municipal Bulldings and it is even whlspered â€" air condition‘ ing; all $20,000 worth of it â€" never let it be said. that a drop of honest sweat trickled on my tax ledger. fl _ It may well be that council only gets its hand on 25 per cent of the loot, as stated by the Mayor, but let us preserve some sanity in the spending of it. Quite ob- viously something has to be done, many of us simply do not sub- scribe to the theory that fifty or sixty dollars a year will be tack- ed on to tax payments, ad infin- itum. We need a crusade against waste and inefficiency itwould seem the businessmen are pre- pared to start one â€" but let’s forget the partisan spirit sure our council is a ‘commuter’ council but whether we like it or not, we are a dormitory town â€"- a com- muter's town â€"- representation may not be balanced now, but there's a remedy and plenty of support for the right policy. It might be a good idea for “The Liberal" to report to its readers. the real facts behind this town hall business, who on council originated the idea â€" who is pushing it? All in all, we must register a protest that will be heard -â€" and_ heeded. In the name of common sense, let us make it clear to our elect- ed representatives, that no Coun- cillor, Reeve, Deputy Reeve, or Mayor will survive for a second term, who does not bear upper- most 1n his â€" or her mind, the grim fact that the limit has been reached.

With loving patience our Lord had to put up with this man who might have exasperated most of us. In fact, it was to this man that Jesus addressed the immortal words, “Thou are Peter. and upon this rock, I will build my Church." He was able to say this to Peter, because Peter had recognized in Christ the truth of God's revela- tion, “Thou art the Christ the Son of the Living God." In spite of the fact that Peter denied Christ, and went back to his fish- ing nets hating himself, our Lord appeared to him again. He gave him another chance to dedicate himself to the service of His Kingdom. when He said. “Simon Peter. invest than me more than path to his goal he played the leading role in transforming Toryism into Liberal-Conserva- tism. Sir John wanted for Canada that same esteem of property, and its distinction of rank, that England possessed and, under the British North America Act, the new federal union fashioned its institutions from the pattern of the constitutional history of the British Empire. Parliament. with its legislative power, had two houses --the Senate and the House of Commons. The Gover- nor-General was the executive authority. After Nova Scotia. New Bruns- wick, Quebec, and Ontario unit- ed on July first. 1867, Macdon- aid concentrated on the task of completing Confederation. Four years later. when 'British Colum- bia joined the union, Canada be~ came a Dominion from sea to sea. ' He encouraged settlers to pop- ulate the Dominion’s empty Spaces in the West. and in‘ this way he made Canada recognized abroad. He built up an economy for the ‘benefit of Canadians and during the depression of the 1870’s he \proved the power and popularity ‘of his policy of economie nation- xalism. ‘ However, the peoples of the united countries had slight ac- quaintance of each other and Macdonald toiled to his mid-sev- enties at the task of welding them into a nation. His plan was to bind the people together by rail- ways. In consolidating Canada by means of transcontinental rail- ways he hoped to protect his ad- opted country from outside dom- ination. There was not only pride of achievement in politics for this great nationalist. but also pleas- ure in every day living. Macdon- aid enjoyed theatres and con- certs. and attended many at home and in London, England. He liked stimulating conversation with well-informed people. His easy-going urbanity and high spirits won him many friends ac- ross the Dominion and abroad. In early days Macdonaid was hard-drinking and hot-tempered at times. But he always rose to the occasion when his country needed him because he had the imagination to understand nine- teenth century Canada and her lnationai requirements: On June 6, 1891. John A. Mac- donald died. He was buried in Kingston where so long ago he started to practice law. The Fa~ ther of Confederation was dead, but his creation was designed to grow e_ver grandeg. To the very end the boy from Glasgow was intent‘ on Canada’s business. He gave a lifetime of public service to the building of a nation. His heart and his intellect be- longed to Canada? 7 The first of July belongs to Sir John A. Macdonald. 1951 BUICK 4 Dr. H. T. ONE OWNER â€" IMMACULATE Sed. 8 cyl. Aut.

Peter’s reply has been the inspiration of untold numbers of people who have felt the won- der and joy of being given an- other chance, “Lord, Thou know- est all things, thou knowest that I love Thee." The power of Christ’s love, transformed this man at the very root of his being. That love. like powerful dynamite. blew his pride. self-righteousness, and un- thinking zeal, to “smithereens.” Peter was changed, not by self fffort, but by impact of Christ’s ove. We are living in a day when applied pyschology is stressedjn every area of life. We try to bring about changes in our child- ren by using “child” psychology. Every businessman has to be a- lert to the field of good public relations. We have become past masters at getting what we want by using the right technique in breaking down another's resis- tance. But, in spite of the fac' that we have amazing insight into what makes a human being “tick,” and how to get the best out of a per- son, we cannot change human nature with anything less than love. God’s love, in action through us, is the only thing which in the last analysis can break down barriers in a person's life. and produce a change which is at once revolutionary and transforming. 7 Jesus Christ is the Great Transformer. To come under the power of His love, is to find the old habits. outlooks, attitudes, breaking up, only to be remolded into new habits, outlooks. atti- tudes. Christ’s love always chan- ges for good. The trouble with us, and with all humanity!» jg; that we resist change. How different our world at every level would be, if man would give up fighting against the love of God, and be- gin yielding to Him, for God is love. It is not exaggeration to say that we would witness mir- acles of change on the interna- tional, national, community and personal scene. If we let that love begin transforming us, our selfishness, pride, self-righteous- ness, then we will not doubt its power to change others. BRADFORD â€" In its first year as a town.
