The branch executives and convenors of the Stan-ding Com- mittee met last week at Mrs. Fred Bodker's home to plan the programs for the year.

About the only luxury Pat allowed himself. other that the odd trip home in recent years. was watching the Toronto Maple Leaf Baseball Team as often as he could.

Pat as everyone knew him, showed up in Con- cord in 1923 after serving in the first world war. He left his County Down in Ireland and arrived at Mrs. Vander- burg’s. Taking a job at the nearby Concord Floral Co. and boarding with Mrs. Vanderburg turned out to be the set pat- tern for the rest of Pat's life. When Mrs. Vanderburg gave up her home a few years ago, Pat went to live with her daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Clark, still travelling to and from the greenhouses, along the highway.

YORK NORTH Canada’s National Liberal Party recog- nizes the importance and need for continued existenCe of such businesses. They keep alive free enterprise, provide an essential service and keep a mixed economy in balance. The Liberal Party is sympathetic to these problems and will assist in overcoming them. John Addison, himself a businessman, under- stands these problems of York North businesses. In Ottawa, he could do something about them. ON‘ JUNE 18 Your Vote Will Help More available risk capital, credit at reason- able rates, and research facilities . . . all these are needed for small businesses. The Liberal Party includes such assistance and guidance in its policies. What small business does not need is unfair competition and restraints imposed by very large businesses. There are more than 100,000 people in York North, about 61,000 of them considered eligible to vote in a federal election. Many depend on small business for livelihood, others deal with small businesses as buyers, consumers. Small businesses are good taxpayers and their owners good citizens. What happens to small business is important in York North. It might surprise many to know how importo ant small business is to York North, a federal pol- itical constituency that runs from Highway No. 7 to Lake Simcoe. A heavy concentration of popu- lation lies along Yonge Street, through towns like Richmond Hill, Aurora, and Newmarket, and in other county towns like Markham, Stouffville, Keswick, Sutton, Pefferlaw, Jackson’s Point, Schomberg, Maple and King City and Mount Albert on the eastern boundary. Many small businesses are concentrated in these places, but others are scattered throughout the entire riding. JOHN ADDISON.
