But it’s as well to remember a few little things you can do for yourself will help a lot. There’s the matter of your health: Don’t skip your regular medical checkup; don’t forget to see your den- tist and your eye doctor at the time when your conscience tells you you should see those important people. If you can’t swim, take lessons; and throw in the lifesaving lessons that are so simple yet can save a life and prevent a tragedy so easily. 1. It may be less expensive â€" some companies offer discounts at this time of year on the building materials necessary for home-improvement pro- jects. Tradesmen and contractors are not so busy in the winter months, and can do a better job, which in the long run means economy. 2. The job can be done more quick- ly â€" contractors and skilled tradesmen because they are not so rushed in the winter months, can take on your job right away.

There aie many reasons why it is to your advantage ,to have this type of work done now â€" Traditionally each Spring we clean our houses from top to bottom. In the process we tend to initiate all sorts of jobs in the way of redecoration, alter- ations, remodelling, repairs and renov- ation, which inevitably spread over into the Summer Season. No one could argue against Spring-cleaning, but waiting until Spring to have these odd jobs done around the home just because of habit is poor business. There is no logical reason why this should be so. Most projects of this type can be done just as well and often more conven- iently during the Winter months.

Richmond Hill JRCULATIM: ‘ “Dear Mr. Editor” RECREATION HALLS FOR ‘ VAUGHAN TWP. Dear Mister Editor: i At the recent Vaughan Town- ship “meet the candidates" rally held in the Maple Community Hall, a young teenage boy, name unknown, asked to be heard, say-1 ing, “1 know I am still too young to vote â€" but may I ask a ques- tion anyhow?” Following cries of, "YeS" “Speak.” throughout the hall which was packed by six hundred Vaughan ratepayers, this young crusader. speaking for the youth of his gene-ration, asked, “If this township can spend $5,500 a year on dog control â€"â€" why can’t it give some consideration to in- vesting money in the young peop- le â€" and provide them with ath- letic equipment and a place for healthy recreation?" The youth had framed his question for Mrs. Ruth McCon- key. later elected to Vaughan Township council, who had stated in her pre-election campaign that if successful she would call a Citizens’ Committee into being. Mrs. McConkey promised to re- fer the young man’s request to a service organization in the “Wouldn't it be better". he asked, "to provide a place for us â€" instead of letting us run loose in place of the dogs?’: This has been named “National Break Up A Cold Month”! I’m not sure who has the vested privilege of designating these months to such causes. But it adds excitement to the passage of time and keeps our minds off the political situation . . . or whether the Maple Leafs are out of the cellar. And besides it’s educational. There has been “National Fish Week,” “National Safety Week”, “Lend a Book Week” (followed soon, I hope, by “Return a Book Week”). And even the lovely one I must have been away for, “Take Your Wife Out to Dinner Week”. But the men in charge of bestowing such honours have given over the whole month of Jan- uary to Nationally Break Up a Cold. And somehow, if it isn’t as colorful as Foliage Week, or as fragrant as Richmond Rose Week, it has a noble ring to it and summons up images of well-bundled figures stalwartly hacking through the ice blocks (or is that “Spring Break-Up Week”?). HoWever, as TV has made us so aware, we know that behind the scene are the dedicated white-coated researchers looking seriously into little test tubes, challenging the germs to stand up and be counted. There is no single ailment known to man that has so many individual remedies as the Common Cold. They are handed down in families with as much reverence as the family silver, and one finds them recorded careful- ly in fading script underneath “Aunt Meriam’s Dandeâ€" lion Wine”, in the backs of old recipe books. As personal as a monogrammed handkerchief, eaqh cold remedy has its magic c rative effect, sworn to by its sponsor. But the attendjxgconvefsational comments are always the same: I ' And whether the season, when around”. Some years it takes on a New Look, and attacks under the fancier names of Virus X or Asiatic Flu, but hidden beneath the aching back and the sniffles, a cold is a cold is a cold! The Camp divides as to where they come from, and the ex- perts still can’t agree whether after all it might be the stork. The Hardy School says $7011 can sit in a draught, wear wet socks and go without your rubbers and a (sold will pass you up. But just stand in the radius of one small sneeze, and Gesundheit! You’ve been the target of a million deadly germs . . . and as for a Kiss! ‘ ' The doctors are not completely in accord on how to treat your cold, but they do say: “Get into bed, take plenty of orange juice and aspirin, and your cold will be better in a week . . . but stay up and grimly battle it through and it will probably last seven days." _ But the remedies are such fun. They keep us forever on the fringe of witchcraft, and add a little voodoo to the ordinary process of convalescence that one would be afraid to practise in any other ailment. There are rare and wonderful remedies, and each with its attendant satellite. They come in and out of fashion. When I was a little girl (my children will start calculating) all the little girls at school wore small bags of camphor on a chain around their necks beneath their little woolly under- walsts. They had a very nice warm and pungent smell when one undressed at night. These, I think were not a cure, but acted as a magic charm to scare away the cold germs . . . and today, as I looked at the smart apothecary jar on the breakfast table, filled with evil looking black capsules, containing no less than 5.000 I.U.’s of Vitamins A to G, 12 minerals, plus Inosital, plus deâ€"methionine, plus fluorine and an undetermined number of trace elements and BTU’s of follic acid, and as I hand the girls an extra box of Kleenex for school, I look back on the little camphor bag and wonder. And then there is Ginger Tea, Peruvian Bark, Mustard Plas- ters and Ice Packs. There are Foot-baths, Citrus Diets and Non- Protein Fasts, Quinine and Goosegrease . . . all emp10y€d to Break Up a Cold or Ward one 06. There is the athlete who dons his sweatshirt and takes OK on a mile jaunt to rout the visiting microbes and opposed to him, the Polar Bear Clubber, who challenges a cold germ to dare come within ten feet of him,'as he chips through the ice for his January dip. So wonderful are the advances in modern medicine, that they say 80% of the prescriptions written today. couldn’t have been written ten years ago. We have battled the ramparts of many a disease in the past decade, but the Snifer stays precoc- iously with us. ( ' With nice professional understatement, the National Insti. tute of Health in their Annual Report: on the Common Cold, lets us in on a great secret. They say: “A cure is coming!” So take heart . .. like the Relief of Pretoria . . . help may be on the way! But the 'Free Breathei‘s‘ in their ivory towers who look down their clear noses and whisper: “Physchosomatic”, I can do without. Instead of saying, “It‘s all in your mind", if they said: “It's all in your head," they might make more sense. “So please don‘t dell me I just thingk I have a gold." “There's a lot of it going around,” And I’m going to bed with our family remedy mixed with a little boiling water and sugar and a touch of lemon! ogéera/iflej “There’s a it's June or January, no matter the time or you've got a cold, “There’s a lot of it going lot. of it doing around right now”. township. I would have Mrs. McConkey. and Vaughan Council, go a step further, therefore I ask, quite seriously, “Why not build com- munity halls on the east and west side of the township. which would be controlled and man- aged by township personnel, with at least one indoor swimming pool?" Vaughan Township is now large enough to have a commun- ity hall with an “open door" where wholesome, supervised re- creation is provided for the youth and to the senior citizens who may gather there â€" such as other large municipalities have. Ex-Teenager We have to provide them with a “centre” in order to channel their activities into a healthy perspective â€" instead of trying to convert them into good citizens later in life. ‘ And these halls should be av- ailable more than just a few hours weekly. The teenager at the election rally declared, “Sure we can bowl here in Maple on Friday nights â€" but there is no- thing else to do during the rest of the week.” Education of our young people does not stop with elementary or secondary school teaching. Dottie Walter (01d issues of ‘The Liberal’ prove that hope springs eternal) Money, money, who‘s got the money? is a question that will be asked by many a bread-earn- er come the post-celebration time next month when, as usual, there will of necessity be a general tightenting of purse strings to balance a general loosening up over the holiday season. $3 looking flatktnarb . .. Twenty six hundred years be- fore the birth of Christ, the Chinese called their notes “fly- ing” money, or “convenient” money. They bore the name of the bank, date of issue, a num- ber, an official signature, its value in words and figures, and, as an additional precaution a- gainst forgery and as a help to the ignorant a pictorial repres- entation in coins of an amount equal to the face value of the note. It’s probably too much to hope for that one Vincent Wild- man, Manager, Ranch C-5 Tiny L 18, Wyevale, Ontario is still around. But 50 years ago he was an enterprising fellow very much in evidence in the minds of owners of cattle. Fifty years ago when the world was in the throes of World War 1, Mr. Wild- man in an ad in ‘The Liberal’ offered to take a club car or two of cattle and pasture and other- wise Iook after them for $1.00 per month. In his ad he explains that the $1.00 would entitle each head of cattle to plenty of water, salt and pasture. He would in- spect his bovine charges person< ally each and every day. How- ever, in view of the modest ‘board’ fee, he could not in jusâ€" tice to himself he held re- sponsible for the death of any animal consigned to his 500-acre pasture land. The owners of cat- tle were to pay the $1.00 per month during July, August and September while pasturage, salt, plenty of water and good wishes would be on the house during October. Today, in the face of our badly shrunken dollar, the of- fer would, we assume, be too good to hope for. Ingenuity Holders of the notes were, by inscription. exhorted to “produce all you can, spend with econ- omy.” an admonishment which, at this time of year by we mo- derns will be contemplated with rather sour grins. It is also stated that these notes were prin- ted in blue ink, and made of pa- per woven from the fibre of the mulberry tree. These notes also bore a warning inscription of the penalties of counterfeiting. Wyevale Enterprise It will no doubt come as a surprise to many that the Chinese anticipated what we might think convenience - banknotes and “paper money" 4,600 years ago! A news story which appeared in a 1915 issue of ‘The Liberal’ tells us that one such banknote, issued nearly 3,300 years ago, was still preserved in the mus- eum at Petrograd. It seems that the Russians lay claim to pret- ty well all the ‘firsts,’ including the telephone ,the radio and so on, and We wonder how theyrwirlrl get around this ancient bank- note. There certainly was plenty of ingenuity in those days, to which an illustrated' ad in the 1915 is- sue of ‘The Liberal’ gives great testimony. The article involved was men’s summer underwear, chopped off at the knees and the shoulders and affixed down the back with v-shaped elastic web- bing and a wide elastic Webbed belt. The ad intimated that no matter what position one assum- ed, whether seated, stretched out or contorted in any imaginable fashion, the elastic webbing would guarantee continual com- fort. Personally, we have never seen such underwear and can- not help wonder what the catch was. Where was the fallacy of that noble garment that it ceas- ed to be manufactured by the Williams, Green & Rome Co. Ltd., Berlin, Ontario? Fifty years ago fortunes were offered in return for an invest- ment of anywhere from one to five hundred dollars. The ad to which we refer has about it all the mystery of a detective story and conjures up to mind sudden wealth in imperishable and glit- tering amounts. The advertiser contented himself with saying the capital was wanted to “de- velop one of the most valuable natural resources in the Domin- ion,\ unlimited quantity of raw material to be manufactured into a commodity for which there is an almost unlimited demand.” Particulars could be had simply by writing to express one’s inter- est to Box 102, Hamilton, 0n- tario. Investment Even today, reading that ln-' ducement we are tormented. To what did the wouldabe Midas allude? Wheat fields? Coal? Sure- ly not oil? Was he related to the WOODBRIDGE â€" The third an- nual Christmas dance staged in the High School Auditorium. at- tracted 150 students from Wood< bridge district. x-fi. . .4 -u‘ -0- 1-4 ‘u-om -0-4 .4 -u-u- A pmmu-Mv-o-o- COUNTY OF YORK“ By ALEX SJOBERG for the New Home for the Aged, Yonge Street, Newmarket, will be received by the undersigned up to January 16th, 1961.
