But on the other side of the coin is the fact that undoubtedly some industries have refused to lo- Action of Richmond Hill Town Council, in agreeing to purchase ap- proximately 24 acres of fullymserviced land in the heart of the industrial section of the municipality, seems to be a very wise move. The price, $2,500 an acre, is low in comparison with what has been asked for com- parable sites in the same area in recent months. As a matter of fact, natural curiosity as to why the pres- ent owner is selling at that price is understandable. But, on the face of it, the deal is a good one and there would not appear to be any fear that a Greek has come bearing gifts. As a matter of fact, enquiries which have already been made for the land would seem to indicate that the town has secured a bargainâ€"one which can be used with telling effect in the battle for new industry. But there’s a notable exception. Members of high school boards in On: tario are, for some reason or other, exempted from the job of facing, at regular intervals, the people they serve. They are appointed, not elect- ed by popular vote. There is a growinghelief that the system is a poor one â€"- that the members of high school boards should, even as the Prime Minister and Joe Blow from the back conces- sion, stand up and report in the pres- ence of their fellow-citizens. That belief received substantial support at the recent convention of the Ontario Municipal Association in Windsor, But now and again there comes a “week” which, by the very nature of the project which it marks, de- mands recognition. Such a one is J'aycee Week. It draws attention to an organization which is a constructive power for good in the land â€" an organization which believes in giving as much as getting â€" the Junior Chamber of Commerce. It’s a good principle â€" a workable principle. It’s one which has been extended through all grades of com~ munity life, governmental and othâ€" erwise. The Prime Minister of Can- ada can be toppled if those whom he represents think that he hasn’t done his job well â€" or if they think some- body else can do it better. So can the lowliest member of the smallest school section board. So can the pres- ident and the secretary and the exec- utives of a thousand-and-one organi- zations "from sea to sea and from the great waters to the ends of the earth." This is Jaycee Week! “Weeks” of one kind and anâ€" other, covering subjects ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous, have become altogether too common. Tireâ€" eome repetition has lessened their value. The heart and soul of the varied programmes of the many Junior Chambers throughout Canada is “training for leadership.” While that endeavour is very far from being the be-all and end-all of Jaycee activ- ities it is, in the opinion of this news- paper, one of its most important. The 2 THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, 0nt., Thursday:Segfie‘mber 2] In the “democracy in operation" complex known as Canada the high- est position in the land, outside of the purely formal one of Governor Gen- eral, is that of Prime Minister. But it is one from which he can be dis- missed with very little ceremony, deâ€" pending on the inclinations of the voters of his own electoral district. So it goes all down the line. On Par- liament Hill in Ottawa, in the ten provincial capitals, those who sit in parliaments and legislatures are there only because they were sent there by free and independent voters â€" voters who can send them home-with equal celerity if their conduct doesn’t seem to jibe with requirements. ,â€" \, An Independent Weekly: Established 1878 9c U I. “a Subscription Rate $3.50 per year; to United States $4.50; 10c single copy Member Audit Bureau of Circulations Member Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association J.

Trustees Eb: Iihcral qucee Week This week Junior Chambers of Commerce throughout Canada are marking the 25th anniversary of the founding of their organization in Canada. The local Chamber, while one of the younger ones in point of view of years, has certainly no need to apologize for lack of virility and progressivenes-s. The many awards which it has won, including that of the world’s best Chamber, are proof that it is regarded by other young men throughout the international movement as something beyond the ordinary. challenge which it offers to Canada's younger businessmen to fit them- selves for the day when they will take over the leadership of affairs in a great land is a considerable and vital one. The vote of delegates to the On- tario Municipal Association Conven- tion was an overwhelming one â€"â€" based on a sound principle. It is‘to be hoped that the Ontario Govern- ment will take early steps to imple- ment it. High school trustees, we are sure, will not object to subject- ing themselves to the same demo- cratic processes that other holders of public office, from Prime Minister down the line, accept willingly. They will doubtless welcome the opportun- ity to gain, through direct contact with electors at last, their views on subjects of mutual interest such as money. Public school trustee's have to face the music. Is there any reason why high school trustees should not do the same? cate in Richmond Hill because they could buy comparable land cheaper elsewhere. In turn, neither can they be blamed. The new industrial land, which will be sold to prospective plant-owners at cost plus expensesâ€" probably around $3,000 an acre â€" should place a powerful weapon in the hands of the Industrial Commis- sioner and should serve as a stabiliz- ing factor in holding land values at the point where prospective indus~ tries will not be scared away. The new land, by attracting in~ dustry, may help to correct this situa- tion and should, in the long run. be of considerable benefit to all tax- payers. Richmond Hill has good reason to be proud of its Junior Chamber of Commerce. Its home town newspaper is proud to salute as it observes Jayâ€" cees Week. Mayor Haggart and others have frequently and forcibly pointed out the present bad imbalance of indus- trial and residential assessmentâ€"a sad situation caused by failure, years ago, to insist on subdividers provid- ing a proportion of industrial assess- ment to compensate for the added expenses which their residential de- velopers forced on other taxpayers. Altogether apart from that, the fact remains that high school boards are among the major spending bodies of the country. To a great extent they are uncontrolled spending bod- ies. The council of a municipal cor- poration must supply their demand. They do not answer to the taxpayers who put up the cash. That is unâ€" healthy. There is no malice involved in the suggestion. It is well recognized that sterling service has been render- ed by the dedicated men and women who, without pay, do a big job in dir- ecting educational policies at the secâ€" ondary school level. But it cannot be denied that the lack of direct respon- sibility to voters has, in some cases, led to a feeling of “ownership” â€" â€"â€" that there are those who have come to regard their positions on boards as being held almost as Charles held his throne â€"â€" by divine right. when 913 delegates, without a single dissenting voice, called on the Ontario Government for a legislative change which would make high school trus- teeships elective instead of appoin- tive. 1961 "professions which are shut to them in other countries,” ac- cording to a correspondent’s communique from Moscow.

Over in Russia, meanwhile, two new professions were of- fered to women. They were Whatever happened t o FORCE, the ready-to-serve cer- eal which used to be advertised on the front page of “The Lib- eral‘ away back 60 years ago? The manufacturer of this food used all the force at his com- mand throuxgh rhymes, testi- monials and cartoons to spell out its merits to the buying public. A Mr. H. H. Miller, for example, in his testimonial said: "I was attacked last May by appendicitis. As I showed signs of recovery doctor and I began to cast around for a suit- able diet and as a result we fell upon FORCE, which has been a wonderful boon to me. I have eaten almost three ca-s- es.” It is just possible the glut- tonous Mr. Miller mistook a- cute hunger pangs for appen- dix pains and we’ll never know whether his testimonial fee in- cluded ‘lhe cereal at bargain prices. (Old-time ads were dynamic and dramatic and some of the products ended in the strangest places.) But it must be confessed that in those days ads were written with a verve which is sadly lacking today. One doctor said of his prescription: “It makes weak women strong and sick women well. It establishes re- gularity, dries weakening drains, heals inflammation and ulcer- ations and cures female weak- nesses." This last turns out to be a rather delicate point which is cleared up by another testi- monial from a woman in Vir- ginia who said with God’s help and this medicine a four-year barren post-marriage period was resolved. The price of her bouncing little boy, she said, was simply two bottles of this remarkable elixir. The ad gent- 1y hints mat even ‘The M313 Up There’ had okayed the medi~ cine.

The only time they admit I exist is when they get hungry, the gluttons, and then thgy_ let out qngry squawks.” “They talk too much?" In mind‘s eye our story began to shape up, 5 Ever since his famous pair of ltalking crows. Amos and Andy (who could do everything with their voices except direct the production of a Hollywood ex- travaganza) died some years ago, Carl had dearly wanted replacements. Last July he ad- vertised in “The Liberal" and his subsequent acquisition of a Tnew set of the ebony-colored birds had set off curiosity a-‘ mong bird lOVers everywhere in1 the district. “The Liberal" pro-l mised to do a follow-up story} “How fares the fair black pair,” we asked. “Our readers crave a literary diet fashioned of crow lore." It was at this point Carl lamented the loss of some physical faculties, add- ing: "It’s not age or loss of sight that discourages me; it’s those blasted birds." "We Ain't Talking" Say Amos And Andy By Axel Sjoberg Carl Emsley, dog and bird trainer de-luxe who lives just east of Langstafi‘ on No. 7 Highway, said despondently: “Must be getting old. My sight must be failing.” He was seated on his front porch, looking rather discouraged when we drove up the highway to inquire about the pair of crows which he bought last July from a district lad. intending to teach them a human vocabulary.
