VICTORIAN ORDER OF NURSES RICHMOND HILL BRANCH Miss E. Woodbyrne Richmond Hill Municipal Hall Premier John Robarts in a re- cent press release urged Ontario resi- dents to reduce their import spend- ing by $100. “It is the general belief that $10,000 worth of business cre- ates one jobin Ontario industry,” the premier said. “If we reduce our imports by $100 per person and manufacture six hundred million dollars worth of goods more per year, we could provide jobs for 60,000 morerpeople,” he explained. ‘Claiming that the Canadian con- tent of many of our most important manufactured goods is “far too low”, Mr. Robarts called this drastic re- duction in foreign buying “a mini- There is an immediate need for a re-adjustment of our trade dollars if prosperity is to lie ahead for Onâ€" tario. The total of foreign import purchases represents a significant sum that is leaving Canadian pockets and the coffers of Canadian manu- facturers. The Ontario Association of May- ors and Reeves at their annual con- vention in Port Arthur last month, Wisely turned thumbs down to a res- olution sponsored by Richmond Hill Town Council asking that tick or check marks on civic election bal- lots be legalized. Council’s proposal to the con- vention was brought about on a mo- tion by Councillor A1 White following the recent liquor vote held in Rich- mond Hill when a total of 432 ballots were rejected because they were not marked with the mandatory X as re- quired under the Elections Act. 7 7 The average Canadian today is spending $236 a year on imported goods while his neighbours both abroad and on this continent spend substantially less. In Great Britain and West Germany only $50 per year is spent on imported goods by each individual while in the US. the per capita spending on foreign goods is $32. These figures are shocking when you compare them with those of Canadians, more than four times as much. Will the trade winds of Ontario waft their balmy breezes of pros- perity over our province or will their chilling draughts cloud our economic future? The future at present looks bleak indeed when we stop and examine how these trade winds are blowing. It clearly states that only bal- lots marked with an X or cross are valid. Those who signify their in- tention by a tick or check, or in any other manner, are marking their bal- lots contrary to the law and can claim no voice in the issue voted on. And we believe rightly so. What could be simpler than an X-mark? At every polling station the correct method of ballot marking is clearly shown to the electorate by the use of posters and printed infor- mation. How anyone could fail to follow the simple instructions is dif- ficult to understand. The city dweller in his asphalt jungle of mortar and bricks, amid a surging tide of humanity, must, if he is to survive, seek the serenity of nature. Jacques Simard, national chair- man of the Community Planning As- sociation of Canada, speaking recent- ly at a Toronto meeting, told those gathered, “My contention is that our cities, unless we take care, will even- tually prove destructive to the human species.” Every year the staggering toll of mental illness, directly or indirect- 1y caused by the stresses and strains of urban living, mounts alarmingly. Man must seek relief from the harsh geometric shapes of civilization and exchange them for the subtle form of nature. He must replace the unnatural world we live in, with the natural. Man is the most adaptable of all crea- tures, Mr. Simard, says, but he needs the return to his own environment if he is to escape neurosis or perhaps PHONE TU. 4-4101 uvyvlluynnu n av...“ . ...~-â€".,.-_..-.. .. . _ "U I. ’1 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.

We might even pro- ceed one step further and resolve to put in effect our own private little trade crusade and improve the econ- omy of our community by resolving to shop in Richmond Hill. If the government’s scheme is to be effective, full support must be had from all, according to Mr. Robarts. “The consumer can help by buying fewer imports and more Canadian-made products,” states Mr. Robarts. “Manufacturers can help by expanding their markets through exports and price reducing on 8. vol- ume basis.” In early November a multitude of Canadian manufactured goods will be on display at the Manufacturing Opportunity Conference to be held in Toronto. Many of the articles to be displayed are presently being im- ported. Ontario economists predict a need for 60,000 new jobs every year for the next ten years. When this fact is coupled with the present un- employment situation, the overall picture is alarming. And there exists an urgent need for a remedy. Use of the ballot or secret vote is a Very old institution and origin- ated in ancient Greece. The theory of democracy was conceived centuries ago in that country although the Grecian State differed fundamental- ]y from modern democracies. Our conception of democracy is comparatively new and manifested itself when the Reformation swept over Europe in the 16th century. The democratic right to mark our ballot with an X did not come easily. It was the culmination of the struggles of the masses and the battle was not easily won. Blood has been shed, kings have been overthrown, as our privilege to mark our ballot with an X, emerged. Under the direction of the Hon. Robert W. Macaulay, the government is taking strides to spur the economic growth by embarking on a trade cru- sade. Their prime targets are On- tario’s secondary industries, and their goal, more foreign markets for Cana- dian goods. Another step is the open- ing of additional Ontario Government trade offices. mum initial target to keep our econ- omy expanding”. How then can we lightly shrug off a practice that is in itself a heri- tage. It is inconceivable that any- thing so‘ insignificant as a liquor plebiscite could cause a change in a custom of the centuries. As Scarboro Reeve Albert Campbell told the convention: “Any- thing other than the X-mark would seriously weaken the voting system.” extinction. As urbanization progresses; as cities flourish and envelope the coun- tryside blotting out the gentleness of rolling hills; as stately stands of tim- ber are devoured in the hunger for land development, so increases man’s fieed to escape the pressures upon 1m. We; suggest that sound thinking people would concur with Mr. Camp- bell’s remarks. The urbanite lives in a state of tension. The sounds and sights of civilization are inescapable, the roar of traffic, the screech of tires on burning asphalt, the jangle of the phone, they are all part of a dis- cordant symphony playing on his nerves. Each day drawing the ends a little tighter. But there is always escape for the fortunate who pour forth from their city dwellings in their days of leisure, travelling east, West, north or south, away from the turbulence that has been a part of their work- aday world. For those who are left in the jungle of steel and stone there is no escape. ; For particulars as to Harms and conditions of ; sale, apply to Fraser Gee, aGormley R. R. 2, phone 23 Gormley 5465.

One thoughtful family asked friends to please omit flowers and send donations to C.P.R.I. instead. Many did.

Speakers’ Bureau if your Home and School or other club needs a good speaker Since the objective of C.P.R.I. is not only to raise the necessary funds but to have as great a number of contributions as possible it is necessary to reach all Canadians, young and old so that they will be involv- ed with C.P.R.I. The danger of a drive backed by so many prominent Canadians is that the ordinary work- ing man might tend to regard the campaign as part of an “egg head” project. Possibly the most success- ful fund-raising campaign ever devised was the fam- ous “March of Dimes”. With the foregoing in mind, C.P.R.I. suggests the slogan, “Pennies For Peace.” By asking for pennies, children will contribute, thus making them aware of the need for peace and perhaps helping to counteract all the war talk to which they are constantly exposed. . . . and this !” You, and many others as well as my- self may have said it. Let us think for a moment. Can we afford not to? How can we make the money we’re giving to other causes really count unless we make sure that our world is safe from the danger of nuclear war. Perhaps we can’t think up ways and means? In that case C.P.R.I. workers are willing to pass some of their ideas for making money on to; you. Do you know an artist who might like to donate a painting.

But believe it or not, the average suburban housewife, in some areas. has plenty of beefs of her own. Some have more beefs than others. Take this specific house- wife’s story. According to her, she receives as many as four or five soliciting telephone calls a day. Will she subscribe to some paper or magazine? Would she consider this new medical plan? How’s she fixed for aluminum screen windows? Has her house been insulated yet? As if that weren’t enough, she has to open her door to people other than her family, friends, the baker, the milkman, the insurance man, the man who checks the hydro and the man who inspects the water meter. At the door, may come magazine sales- men, peddlers, exponents of religion, and canvassers for various causes and organizations. “Mind you,” she says, “I have nothing against canvassers if I know what cause they are representing. I always like to give to the Boy Scouts, Mental Health, Polio, Cancer and Retarded Children. I tell those who are trying to influence my faith however, that I’m per- fectly satisfied with my own faith, and would they please go away and leave me alone.” How about holding auction sales . ; . antiques . . white elephants, etc. One C.P.R.I. supporter held a rummage sale and raised a good sum. Other things irk this suburban housewife, too. “Some of the things I really resent are these new gimmicks put out by magazine companies to try and milk money out of me. It seems to me,” she contin- ued, “if you buy a magazine subscription, or a book, the company tries to get its hooks into you for 'life. I just can’t count the letters I’ve had, telling me, it’s my last chance to get in on something really big. As far as the magazine salesmen coming to the door, I wish they’d be more honest. It burns me up to hear them telling me about the number of points they have to have so they can go to college or the trips they could take if only I’d help them win a popularity contest by buying a magazine. I like the direct ap- proach. “Mrs. - - -, I’m selling - - - magazine.” Some- thing like that! At least I know what I’m up against and I think . . . there at least is an honest fellow! I can turn him down, but if I needed a magazine . . . I’d buy it from him. I don’t like my screen door stuf- fed with advertisements either. The only thing that compensates my efforts in yanking the fool things out of the door is the fact that perhaps the poor fellow who is doing his thankless job is getting paid far it and I use them to wipe the mud off the kids’ 5 oes.” This suburban housewife confided to me that it wouldn’t be so bad helping all these people if you had scads of money. “If I responded to all these appeals," she sighs, “we’d all be in the poorhouse. If I fell for that one that tried to sell me the aluminum screens and asked to subscribe to charities with which I’m not familiar, it would cost me at least five dollars a day. It’s a good thing I’ve learned to build up a good sales resistance, isn’t it?” Typewriters .

The very best blooms should be saved for the specimen class- es. In a specimen class, if ‘one bloom is called for, for instance a rose or dahlia. all side buds should have been removed as soon as they appeared on the plant, bwt if a spray is called for such as in climbing,‘floribunda or grandlflora roses, the buds and lateral blooms are left on with the exception of faded or damaged blooms, buds or pet- als. In decorative “designs”, "arâ€" rangements" and “compositi- ons” buds are necesary, as there should be a gradual transition beg-inning with the larger flow- ers at the rim of the container through partly open ones to buds at the top and outside edges which should appear more open and airy than the ‘central part. If buds can be ‘arranged to follow the design of the arrangement they may be attached to a stem with flowers on it. Also colors should he graduated from dark shades at 1the bottom to light tints at the top. as a darker shade of any color appears to have more weight than a lighter one, so appears top heavy when placed at the top. top, as a darker shade of any color appears to have more weight than a lighter one, so appears top heavy when placed at the top. In specimen classes a specific number of blooms or sprays are asked for. If one more or less is used the entry must be dis- qualified. It is heartbreaking for a judge to have to turn down the best entry because of this and yet it happens time after time. If spares are carried they should go in a separate con- tainer or as has been the case many times they may be for- gotten in the last minute rush to meet the deadline and be left in the entry. In both specimen and decora- tive classes, freshness and grooming are important. Any damaged florets or petals should be removed and care should be ‘taken to see that the back of ithe bloom is clean “behind the icars.” Dust, insects and should be washed away. In specimen blooms the foli- spray age must be attached to the‘ stem. Added foliage does not, count. In decorative designs where flowers sucfl; as dahlias are used, if the foliage is removed and used separately both flow- ers and foliage resist wilting ,‘better. Personally I prefer to have all the decorative classes “de- signs” with accessories option- al. Then if you do not have a suitable accessory you can still take your entry to the show and maybe win best in show with it. The use of a base or mat under the container is al- ways optional but if it is used it must be considered as part of the “design” If you want the height of your arrangement to be at best one and a half times the length of the arrangement it is one and a half times the length of the base, not the container. How- ever the rules and regulations of any particular show you wish to enter should be strictly ad- hered to. The Richmond Hill Horticul- tural Society year book includes a page on judging standards which is really as important as the rules and regulations.
