On Thursday, March 10th, 1927, “The Liberal” of that date recorded that the south end of Yonge Street was in a deplorable condition and that there were some extremely danger- ous spots. In the past, it said, pea- straw by the ton had been dumped in an effort to remedy conditions. And in the same issue anadver- tisement over' the name of “Little Bros." told residents that the Ford franchise had been secured and that cars, trucks and parts would hence- forth be available, together with “all the most modern machinery for re- manufacturing Ford cars.” Peastraw- hasn’t been used to fill the holes on Yonge Street for a. long, long time. The “re-manufactur- ing" of Fords is distinctly out of date. Cars by the tens of thousands now traverse Yonge Street every day. But the firm of Little Bros., now known as R. D. Little and Son, Ltd., still carries on and this week, as it holds “open house” in its expanded building, demonstrates that the pass- u.v.-v .. For the small industry of today can very easily become the big one of tomorrow. It is happening in Rich- mond Hill right now. Firms in the industrial area which have seen con- siderable increases in their staffs since locating here are not uncom- mon. They might well be tomorrow’s big industries. a "ffigi'éâ€"‘iémmuch to be said for small industries. Even without con- sidering their potential growth, the Mr. G. J. Chatfield is not yet a resident of York County. He, it will be recalled, is the man who will be business administrator of the new hospital to serve the southern part of the county. Planning as far ahead as it can, the York Central Hospital Commission has already preempted his services. He will take office as soon as the hospital project is far enough advanced to employ his full time. Undoubtedly a large industry with a considerable payroll, plus as- sessment which would help ease the load of taxation for residential prop- erty owners, would be a blessing in Richmond Hill today. But, welcome as the big industry, providing “at home” employment for local residents, would be, it should not be forgotten that there is consider- able merit in the small industry. It may not be so spectacular but it has its definite place in the scheme of things - both for today and for to- morrow. 7 r It will be a matter of satisfac- tion to residents of Richmond Hill and their neighbours to learn that the hospital board has indeed made one of its first and most important appointments wisely. As already re- ported, Mr. Chatfield has received the important Robert Wood Johnson That season’s here again. The season when men impersonate deer on other legitimate quarry of the hunter. The impersonation must be good because there are many cases where even his own friends have failed to recognize him, have failed to distinguish between a member of the human race and one of the Cervi- dae family of four footed creatures. Anyway, “I thought it was a deer” is what the triggenhappy hunter us- ually gives as his reason for felling a friend. - Since color blindness is about ten times as common among males as fe- males, and male hunters are in the majority, something should be done to make hunters’ clothing less like nature’s protective coloring. The pre« vailing tan of the foliage on bushes and on the ground is in complete han- mony with that worn by most hunt- ers. Red in jackets or caps is still a featured color in the woods fashions, together with some browns. Autumn leaves display yellows and greens af- fording the hunter 3 background from which his fellow hunters can- Well, don’t they call it “buck fever” when the excitement of the moment sort of counteracts control? Sometimes the blame is laid on the clothing worn by the late hunter. He may have worn a brownish-tan outfit with a bright red cap -â€" just the colors of the autumn foliage. When he moved, he resembled the leaves and the body of some large animal â€" just about the height of a deer.

Even without con- ring their potential growth, the Richmond Hill is fortunate in that a number of smaller industries have made it their home. They are indeed welcome. Here’s hoping, for their own sake and for that of the municipality in general, that in due course they graduate to the larger industry bracket. Congratulalions 'I'o liHles The Great Impersonulion Augury Of Good Service The “file Ones Count Tithe liberal ing of the years and the changes which have come to the small village of 34 years ago have served to strengthen rather than diminish its positi_on. The Little business has been a successful one. That has been shown in the past as changes have been made to cope with growth. It is emphasiz- ed by the latest development. And, while businesshas been grow‘ng, the other side of life in an Ontario com- munity has not been overlooked: fact remains that they create diver- sity. They are not likely all to close down at one time, as can happen in the “one big industry” town. They are less subject to strikes. If for some reason one of them fails, the imâ€" pact on the general economy is not so severe. They do not create such in- sistent demands on local services. They do not dominate a municipality - sometimes to its disadvantage â€" but fit into the general pattern. Owners and operators are far more likely to take an active part in general affairs and to give support to more local ac- tivities. There is, on the whole, a greater friendliness - a greater com- munity of interest. The Littles have been good cit- izens in every sense of the word. Members of the family have taken a keen and constructive part in com- munity betterment. Their influence in the horticultural and service club field has been marked. They have never hesitated to throw their weight, when needed, into helping the municipality's progress. As they take another step into the future “The Liberal” wishes its old friend Well. Those wishes, it is sure, will be echoed by many citizens of Richmond Hill. award as the graduate from the hos- pital administration course of the University of Toronto likely to make the most important contribution to hospital care. The fact that a thou- sand dollar cheque accompanies the award is a pleasant one for Mr. Chat- field, but more significant to people of York County is the emphasis it gives to the importance of the award. “The Liberal” is happy to con- gratulate Mr. Chatfield, soon, it hopes, to be a resident of York County. At the same time it con- gratulates the board of trustees of the hoped-for new hospital on having made a good choice, and the people of the area on the evidence that the standard of staffing of their institu- tion will be a high one. not pick him out. Bright blue or black and White horizontal stripes or checks of at least three or four inches square, stand out from any natural background. (Verti- cal stripes are too much like the sur- rounding design of trunks and tall bushes.) Any small' patches of white could be mistaken for the white‘ tailed deer trademark. Don’t wear any colors that are the same as the ground or growth colors. If you are accustomed to wearing glasses, don’t leave them at home when you go out for the deer, espec- ially if they are for distance viewing. Don’t shoot unless you are positive that the target you aim for is not a human or a domestic animal. Some farmers have adopted signs which they hang over the bodies of their cattle because hunters have killed or wounded valuable stock. If you aren’t quite sure of the difference between cows and deer, just study some pic- tures_ until you are. Then there’s another danger â€"- the celebration at the end of the day. This should be confined to the time when firearms are stacked and am- munition put into a safe place, so there won’t be much danger of Jones thinking Smitty’s head would look lovely mounted on the wall of the rumpus room or bomb shelter. Don’t celebrate the success or failure of someone in the party to the extent that next morning your fing- ers or eyes aren’t up to par. After all, the deer’s head would make a better trophy, mounted. c n lgcl'single COPY 16, 1961 History does not record whe-tary confinement for having} ther T. F.
