Thursday. ~/______,__._F’â€" flfhe it An Independent Weekly: Established 1878 I I October 24th.‘1963_ hetal Subscription Rate $3.50 per year; to United States $4.50; 10c single copy ' A ' ' Member Audit Bureau of Circulations Member Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association J.

COOK, Managing Editor “Authorized as second class mail, Post Office Department, Ottawa" millions of child- ren are ill-fed, poorly clothed and In today‘s world, unschooled. We have never seen them; they are the “faceless child- ren”. But on Hallowe’en next Thursday, Richmond Hill school-age children with faces, albeit some _of them masked, will be doing their part to give aid to these unfortunates, through their contribution of col- lected pennies to UNICEF (United Nations International Childrens Emergency Fund). On this one night of the year, the gaily dressed area youngsters come knocking on the door, looking for traditional treats but also seeking help for their “faceless” friends. For example, Pleasantville Public School pupils last year collected $104, most of it in pennies for UNICEF. This year, their fourth, they saw 3 Danny Kaye film on his UNICEF work, October 23. Several other Richmond Hill schools are following suit with the main requirement that each child is familliarized with what’s behind UNICEF. The organization, participated in by more than 100 countries, is not a charity but a co-operative effort to improve the lot of the children of the world. Interested countries must first ask for UNICEF assistance and for every dollar given, these governments spend $2.50 for local buildings. per- sonnel, domestic food and facilities. The Halloween tradition, widened six year ago to include UNICEF co]- lections, was met with protests that the children were being robbed of their fun. Canadian children have also made it a night for children around the world since they have learned their help is needed. Last year from the Atlantic pro- vinces to British Columbia, regard- less of variable weather, approxi- mately 400,000 costumed youngsters sallied forth with paper bags for treats and UNICEF collection boxes. They brought home candy, cookies and apples and they also brought back almost $400,000 in pennies, nickels and dimes. This is a worthwhile effort on the part of our young people in Rich- mond Hill; let’s support them in their earnest sincerity to share their good fortune to be Canadians. Traffic Lights ? In spite of the lamentable condition of .Bayview Avenue for the mile and a quarter north of Markham Road, traffic volume continues to increase .in .the eastern section of Richmond Hill; Allencourt Plaza, Bayview Second- ary School and the new St. Joseph's Separate School have all added to the concentration of traffic at the Bay- ‘erw-Markham corner. In rush hours a real traffic control problem is shap- ing up. Perhaps the time is not far dis- tant when a traffic count would re- veal the need for trafiic lights at; this busy corner. When the Toronto & York Roads Commission is finally persuaded to pave Bayview Avenue, the volume of traffic at this corner is bound to increase appreciably and tralfiic control by lights will be essen- tia . Time And Clocks When we set the clocks back an hour this weekend we may tell our- selves weare changing time, taking back that hour we spent for longer summer evenings last April. But the sun will rise unchanged next Sunday, on its own schedule, and the only change will be in the position of the hands on those ticking machines by which man masters his own life. We 'will adjust our own gauge of the hours somewhat closer to the reality of night and day, the sun, the earth and the year. Time has its own dimensions and neither the sun nor the clock can en- compass them all. All we can do with the astronomical absolutes of time is note them. divide them as we please, and live by them in our daily rout- ines. Beyond that, our own emotions, our hopes and fears, our worry and our relief, shape not only our days but our hours with only casual regard for absolute or arbitrary time. The busy day can be brief, the suspense- ful hour endless. Who can prove, by any clock ever devised, that time on occasion does not stand still? The interval between heartbeats can be a terrifying eternity, and the pause between two spoken words can shape the dimensions of all our tomorrows. Time is all around us, the time of the hills, the time of the tides, the lifetime of a man or a tree or an insect. We participate in time, try to shape it to our own necessities; but when we change the clocks we aren’t changing time at all. We are playing with figures on a dial that denotes but cannot alter the flow of forever. “DEAR MR.

PROFESSOR WOODBURN THOMSON Professor Woodburn Thomson. his wife Cicely, a daughter Janet and two sons John and Robert, live at 87 Vaughan Road, Richmond Hill. Many readers of “The Liberal" will remember the column “Over Hill, Over Dale“ that Cicely Thomson wrote for this paper for several years. Now she directs plays: last winter “Teahouse of the August Moon" for the Curtain Club; “Anniversary Waltz" for the Aurora Club: and was co-director for the “Vagabond King” produced by the Scarborough Club. The oldest son John is an undergraduate at the University of Victoria in B.(‘.; Janet and Bob attend Richmond Hill High School. Woodburn Thomson has two hobbies: skiing and sailing. In the wintertime he skis at Summit. and Collingwood: and in the summer sails the ketch “Maud 11“ out of Penetang. “Maud II” came from the drawing board of W. J. Roue, the designer of the famous schooner “Bluenose.” Professor Thomson lectures on administration at the “School of Business" which is part of the Uni- versity of Toronto. He explained that two quite differ- ent activities go on in most business schools. First, there are courses in those skills that are used in business today and that help to make the student productive early in his employment. Then there are courses which aim to help the student to handle, ‘five or ten years from now, problems about which we now know very little, but which will face him when he arrives at positions of‘ higher responsibility. In business administration, graduate students study accounting. corporation finance, business economics, production, marketing and administration; after which they will choose from various areas of specialization. Can you type a business administrator as having particular qualities? Professor Thomson doesn’t think so. He says different. situations require different com- binations of qualities in a man. Some parts of the administrative process may be common to a church, a school, a hospital, a paper box factory, or an army; but ethics vary from one institution to another. Per- missable limits of aggressiveness, the extent and rigidity of‘ ground rules, the amount of concern a man is expected to demonstrate for the common good, are by no means uniform across-the-board. A man who could be a breath-taking success in one institution, might not be tolerated for long in some others. “All the same, outstanding administrators are usually creative individuals,” said the professor. “Churchill is a recent example: and people like the one-time C.P.R. president Van Horn, or, Samuel Gompers, the father of the American Federation of Labour, were examples around the turn ‘of the century. All three were innovators, two were artistic, all knew when to kick over the traces (and had the guts to do it); and the two whose work, in my opinion, was to have the greatest significance in the long run had a consuming passion for history.” According to Professor Thomson, the “school” approach to business is a relatively new thing; and did not spread rapidly until the last few years. Originally the idea was an American one. In the old days, an intelligent man with experience could cope with the business problems of his time. But today, with a rapidly accelerating rate-of-change in society, “experience” is much less valuable. As an example of change, he said, “Look what has happened to information”. In the last few years we have had what amounts to an information-ex- plosion. Today. old ways of assembling information is no longer adequate: instead. information-handling has been going on in many other areas. The importance of the liberal arts or the “humanities” is mounting. No longer can a man expect to rely principally on institutional customs, personal experience, or even specialist knowledge to guide him when he is suddenly confronted with un- usual and novel developments. In such a predicament. a man can count himself fortunate who is able to call on philosophy, to protect his intelligence “against the bewitchment of language:” history to help him see the real possibilities of the future by placing the present in meaningful context; and great literature to remind him of the potentialities of the human heart. At the Toronto School of Business, applicants must hold a university degree. Today business attitudes affect almost every- thing we do. Our vocabulary is changing. Words from the business world find their way into everyday ' conversation as symptoms of the commercial assess- ments that people are steadily spreading through-out their lives. Nowadays. instead of “convincing” someâ€" i one, we “sell” them: instead of ourselves being con- vinced. we “buv”; and so on. “The condition heralded by this sort of seepage," said Professor Thomson. “is a world in which nothing is worth doing unless it ‘pays’, or where anything is possible if the price is right. or where everything is good if it is big . . . and better if it’s bigger. Of all the professions. only the ministry seems to have re- mained relatively free from the rampaging twins . . . commercialism and gargantuanism“. While business ideas may well have been healthy enough on their own home grounds, they act as detergents or disintegrants when they entered non- busiiiess territory. “When runaway business thinking 3 began to swamp all jobs and professions" said the Professor. "then the meaningful and noble aspects of work were washed away. leaving only the drudgery and the opportunism behind. Such things will happen to people whose imaginations can conceive no more inspiring incentives than the carrot or the stick". According to Professor Thomson. the most ‘ glaring examples of misplaced commercialism are to be seen in the administration of our nurses and police- men. Police wages iii this province have been for years set by county court judges and assisted by industrial rate setters. When. as has happened on several occasions. rates are thus set more with refer- ence to the "market" ( a business dimension) than to what British Treasury officials refer to as “quasi- moral" considerations. we should heed the warning ('AYEAT I‘TMPTOR.

The editor noted that "for many years after the province ‘of Ontario was settled, plough- ing matches were held in dif-’ ,ferent sections and nowhere, was there greater interest than in the townships of York Counâ€" ty. It was therefore fitting that‘ .the provincial association which was destined to grow to its pre-‘ sent magnitude should have had its birth in this district, “In 1910 a few enthusiastic men met at Richmond Hill and organized the Ontario Plough- men's Association." The first match under its auspices was held on Sunny- ‘brook Farm on the outskirts of Toronto. in 1913. with but a few entries in the hand plough classes and one tractor. In 1914 the match was held on the same farm wit h :24 horse drawn ploughs. B} 1923 entries had risen to 301 horse drawn ploughs and 67 tractors. Today the emphasis is on mechanical ploughing.
