Richmond Hill ratepayers have been getting interesting if not too Welcome mail in the form of green tax bills. If yours is larger in its de- mand than last year, just stop and contemplate that last year’s was larger than the year before. If you want a real pleasant thought you can pretty well depend that next year’s will he increased again. An important issue to the indi- vidual voter is the qualifications of the candidates representing the polit- ical parties. C. A. Gathers, the Pro- gressive Conservative candidate has represented this riding since 1957 and is a farmer and successful busin- ess man. For many years he has been identified with York County life and he is known as a sound citizen and a worthy representative. The main challenger to the sitting member is John Addison, Liberal candidate who has conducted a very aggres- sive campaign and at the time of writing wou d appear to be running ahead of his opponents. He lives on a farm in King Township and is a suc- cessful business man with the enthus- iasm and qualifications which should make him a good representative. Stanley Hall of Newmarket is the candidate of the New Democratic Party and has shown himself an able exponent of his party’s policies, and 1t ough his campaign does not re- flect the same extent of financial re- sources as his opponents, he has shown desire to meet the people and discu_ss_the issues of_the campaign. Here in Canada we have the dis- tinction of being numbered among the highest taxed people in the world, and in this area. municipal taxes rate pretty high in Canada. We have no desire to win fame or set a record in the field of high tax payments and we suggest that when municipal taxes reach the point they have today it is past time when citizens with a stake in the community should do serious One of the finest services a citizen and taxpayer can do for him- elf, his municipality and his country is to keep in contact with his mun- icipal representative and member of parliament on all matters of import- ance. Members of parliament, or muni- cipal representatives do not know your feelings and opinions unless you tell them. It is not always easy or possible to contact them personally. but you always can write a letter. Do this more often and your represent- atives will appreciate your interest in the job they are doing for you at the town hall, at Toronto or Ottawa. A late entry in the campaign'is Alex Ford, who is the candidate of the quial Credit party. “The Liberal” is an independent newapaper, and is not owned or con- trolled, nor has it any association whatsoever with any political party. We now are in the midst of a general election and important issues are at stake. There is no better time to make your opinions felt than at election time and we suggest you The main issue in any election should be the record of the admini- stration seeking revelection. The pres- ent government has been in office since 1957 and every voter knows from personal experience how its policies have been felt in the home. in business, on the farm and on the family budget. Honest assessment of the government record of course must take into consideration the continuing demand for large expenditures on defence and the world economic con- ditions. Many words have been spoken and much has been written and while there is evidence of a swing against the government many people still con- fess to some confusion of mind, and polls indicate many voters still un- decided. The voting in Canada’s general election is little more than a week away and the decision of the people should be good for the country whatever the result, as it will end a period of uncertainty which never is good for businees. .

L. B. Pearson we think we have an able and dedic- ated statesman who has surrounded himself with able Canadians and is the man for the job. If you agree with us that we need at this time a. change in management of our national affairs we suggest you vote for John Addison, Liberal candidate. There may be many fancy theories of high finance, and clever talkers may present many arguments. but when our national deficit con- tinues to mount year by year and our Canadian dollar is worth a little over ninety cents in the world markets, we think it’s pretty serious business. In your own private business you'd probably agree it was. time for a new manager. thinking. A home owner today pay: in municipal taxes an amount which a few years ago was a fair rental for living in his own home. If you are concerned as you gather up the money needed for the first instalment_ we trust your con- cern will carry on through the year and not be forgotten as soon as you have put away the cheque book. On municipal election day when the re- presentatives who spend your hard earned tax dollars were elected only a small percentage of the people took the trouble to vote. Show that you are interested in your own business. Write to your municipal representative. your mem- ber of the legislature, your member of parliament and prospective mem- bers of parliament today. The devalued dollar and the mounting deficits are confirmation that there is something seriously wrong with the Canadian economy. There is everywhere an uneasiness and instability which does not auger well for the future. There is an under- lying fear that worse things are in s ore. Canada is yours â€" it doesn't be- long to any political leader or party. Your town, village or township is yours and the business transacted by elected representatives is your busin- ess. Keep it that way, and make sure your representatives know that you know it’s your business and that you are interested. Gangland activities. corruption in high places, political boss rule which are among the curses of de- mocracy to be avoided at all cost are only possible when the people are in- different. If it hurts to pay your taxes we suggest you should show some con- cern at election time as to the quality and ability of the people who are going to spend it. write to one or all the candidates and let th_em have your views. Rt. Hon. John Diefenbaker is an able parliamentarian and a. Christian gentleman sincerely devoted to public service. We think he has failed to surround himself with able admini- strators and his record of government leaves much to be desired. The de- valued doilar and the mounting de- ficits of our national administration are enough in themselves to make every voter stop and give very serious consideration to the need for a change. - It has been our experience and observation that there are good people in all political parties. In fact, contrary to an all too prevalent im- pression, we think most men and women active in political parties are honest and sincere in their convic- tions and in their desire to serve. Our policies and our views are our own, and ours alone. We have no de- sire to tell anyone how to vote, but we do urge all citizens to take an active interest in some political party and vote on election day. Under our sys- tem of government the party system is the very basis of our democratic way of life, and if we as individuals want to influence the course of ad- ministration in government we must interest ourselves in the political parties and their candidates.

Sands of 19 Uplands Avenue, Thornhill, and mother of two small girls, manages to find time for such a creative hobby as the making of fine pottery. She has lived in Thornhill about five years, and her interest in the art of ceramics began when she first moved into the locality. Gwen admits to have had leanings toward art while she was still at school, and she was inspired by a friend of hers who did it for a living. Gwen has two kilns in her basement studio, and she makes all kinds of sculp- tured figures such as cats, dogs, horses, angels and other figurines. She also turns out plates, tiles, vases, ash trays, mugs and jugs and many other useful ar- ticles. There are three main ways in which the pot- tery pieces may be formed, explained Mrs. Sand. First, there is thrown pottery, which involves the use of the pottery wheel, and the second involves casting them into a mould, and last there is hand built pottery which incorpc‘irates coil and slab. Gwen‘ works in both earthenware and stoneware. She never gets tired of the thrill she receives when she opens. the kiln to behold her latest handiwork. Will it be a success? This is the question that sometimes en- ters her mind. She honestly admits that she has plenty of failures. But she doesn’t feel bad about it, because . . . as she says philosophically . . . it happens to the best potters all the time. Creative work like this brings to Gwen Sands a real feeeling of warmth, and she intends to keep up her ceramics for as long as she lives. “By the time_ I’m an old woman, I’ll be a good potter . . . I hope!" she asserts. Gwen sells some of her pottery, gives some away and throws some out. The money she makes she re- invests in her hobby. She has two kilns and mater- ials can be rather expensive. Last year, she gave private lessons in her home. She had eight pupils. Gwen is rather proud of the fact that she made a piece of sculpture for the Curtain Club of Richmond Hill. Other interesting information offered by Gwen is that it takes about 1900 degrees of heat to bake earthenware and 1300 degrees is required for stone- ware. The products cannot be removed from the oven for about 36 hours. In preparing the glaze, she mixes together certain colors with sand and clay. For example, cobalt makes blue; manganese makes purple; copper gives the green and from uranium comes or- ange and red. There are three methods of applying glaze . . . spraying . . . dipping and pouring. More and more I am convinced that there is real healing for the mind and spirit in woodland surround- ings. Off course, the fact. that you go there at all, leads one to believe that there will be an easing of of work and worry. It’s hard to worry when you see flecks of blue sky peeping in between the birch leaves, and hear the tree-music made by the wind. In fact, the whole woodland has become a sort of mysterious paradise of whispering sounds and scur- rying little animals. Gwen Sands has another hobby to which she gives considerable interest and time. She loves to collect antiques. She is lending her lovely old spin- ning wheel to the Rug Bazaar of the Thornhill United Church Women, to be held on June 8 and 9. She, her- self, will be there on Friday to show you how to make some of the little sculptured figures that she is so fond of doing. And in the harvest time, she will have to cook for them . . . hot breads and meats, and vegetables from the garden. How ravenous they are‘ when they come to the house at noon! They have cleared the dishes of chicken and pork and lamb before she has time herself to sit down and eat. And harvesting all seems to come when she’s doing her canning. Some- times the woman was needed in the fields. Then there was always supper to set, and plants to water. She works among her plants and there is a softness in her movements, as though she would stroke each leaf and flower. The mother in her that has raised many children, the warmth in her that tends the men- folk and the garden and the chickens, finds in these plants something more to love, as though there were no limit in her need of life to cherish. History was made by the pioneer woman on the farm. The pattern of her days was filled with cease- , less working and planning and when her menfolks returned from the fields at sundown, their limbs shaken from the battle with forest and soil, she mends the overalls that got torn and darns the socks that got rubbed into holes from trudging the fields. The pioneer farmer rested in the evening, smoking his pipe, but the woman must mend and bake for to- morrow. Her day never ended. There was always a baby to tend, or hot mash to prepare for a sick ani- mal. Washday meant scrubbing the men’s overalls that were caked with earth, bloodstained from the butchering; the yard is festooned with lines of over- alls and shirts. As-the pioneer woman stood in her kitchen stir- ring a pan upon the stove, she seems a worthy figure of womanhood. Against a world given over to d'es- truction she symbolizes the preserver of life. Hers is a life without hates, that is big enough to care for the fields of the farmers and the children of other mothers. The pioneer woman had to be all of these things . . . and if it hadn’t been for her dedicated devotion to the care of all these things the pioneer farmer never would have made it alone. 24 Elizabeth St. N.

Uillman’s resolution of the personal dramas of the three The Spring of Malice, by John Harris. (Hutchinson, 1962) An obsession with military glory is the dominant theme of this novel, which brings to mind some of the recent events in France. An elderly Fu‘ench general of an ll-lustrous military family, dismissed by the Amer- ican Supreme Command in 1945 for his mismanagement of operations, devotes the rest of his life and his family’s to a vain campaign to reinstate himself. while his son attempts to murder the American general who was responsible for his father's collapse. Mr. Harris has devised an ingenious plot and he creates a lifelike picture of the part played in it by the American army, French police and the international news- papermen.

The protagonist grows to maturity through a series of deaths among family and friends, but the tone of the novel is not sombre, but rather swings be- tween the comic and the serious until the final episode in which tragedy takes over. ‘The Lady At Box 99, The Story of Miriam Van Waters. by Bur- ton J.
