Frisby and Son held their annual shoot, thirteen birds were put up and fifteen of the crack‘shots from Almira Buttonville, Unionville and Agincourt and the Square tried conclusions and did some fine shooting despite the fact that the weather man precipitated some wind and snow which later tum- ed into a mist. However everyone was game and ’especially that veteran sport Alex Canning pulled one fine bird out of the pile. Wind, snowflakes and mist did not baffle the eagle eye of “Curl Boynton from finding the 1tack and providing “fowl dinners" for 1a few days. Had “Tim” Patterson put in an appearance at the opening of the shoot no one cares to forecast the result as in five shots he walked off with two birds. Tom Shadlock got away with a couple. But tne twelfth round was perhaps the mest exciting when out of ten shots around the tack Geo. Agar pulled a fine win- ning shot. Everyone enjoyed the af- ternoon as they always do the shoots at Elm Lodge each year. The late- ness of the day and the mist prevent- ed the shooting for several pails of R. n S. Frisby's fine honey. Those who won birds. Alex Canning 1; H. Pat- terson 2; “Curl” Boynton 3; H. SpofiL ard 1; W. Clarke 1; Tom Shadlock 2; F. Stiver 1; Clarke Young 1; Geo.‘ Agar 1.

Austin’s Drug Store, Richâ€" mond Hill, Saturday, January let, 1.30 to 8 p .m. Victoria Square In declining to accept re-appoint- ment as a member of the Richmond Hill Board of Health at the Council meeting last Friday afternoon Willi- am Davies said that he did not wish to be re-appointed because he did not want to be a member of any board which did not function. He stated that when he came on the board in 19- l 25 that the Board of Health had held“ thirteen meetings in twentyâ€"one years. The first year he was on the board eight or nine meetings were held and he said that six of those were called at his personal request. He had advo- cated a survey of the town but was told that the sanitary inspector was too busy. The statutes called for four meetings to be held but there was only one general meeting in 1927. “If I’m on a board I like to be on one with a little life” Mr. Davies said. A Sani- tary Inspector was appointed but he knew of no report ever having been given of his work. He claimed that there should be a report from the Board of Health to the council at the end ’of every year but that report was never brought in in years. He thought that the Board of Health was one of the most important bodies in any municipality but here it was never given a thought. Former Member Criticizes The Inactivity of Board Of Health The conditions as thus outlined by a former member of the Board of Health are indeed serious and worthy of the serious consideration of the ratepayers of Richmond Hill. Mr. Davies has been a member of the Board for two years and must know whereof he know of no organization which has within its care any more important factor in the life of a community. We know of no organization which at the present time offers so much scope for constructive thought and deliberation as the one which has to do with the the publié‘ health. True we have had no epidemics or perhaps any outbreaks which need cause alarm but in the speaks. THE BOARD OF HEALTH IS AN IMPORTANT BODY and we CARD 0F THANKS Mrs. Arnold desires to express her Sincere thanks for the many acts of kindness and the many expressions of sympathy received during her recent sad bereavement. Late Henry Arnold The community was saddened this; week by the death after an illness of a} few months of Henry Arnold who for‘ the past eight years was prominent in the business life of this village. He‘ was the managing-director of the Bed-‘ ford Park Floral Company which he. founded some eighteen years ago. In‘ his 57 year he was born at Queenston, Ontario and previous to coming to Richmond Hill he lived at North Tor- onto. He was an able business man and was highly respected by all with whom he came in contact and will be sadly missed by a wide circle of friends. He was for some years ac- ‘tive in the Board of Trade here and $5 a valuable and efficient officer of that organization. The deceased was a member of the Masonic Lodge. He is survived by his loving wife, one son Edward and two sisters, Mrs. Powell and Mrs. Britain, of Toronto, and three brothers Edward at St. Catherâ€" ines, Frank at Queenston, and Fred at Birch Cliff. i The deceased was a faithful member and an active worker in the United Church and the funeral services were conducted by Rev. A.A. Wall and \Rev. Wellwood. The pall-bearers ‘were all old employees of the Bedford Park Floral Company namely: Messrs Salter. Chapman, Shields, borner, Beresford and Brown. The services were largely attepded and the floral tributes were many and beautiful. Interment followed at Forest Lawn Mausoleum. ’illiam Davies Refuses Re-appointment Because He Claims Board of Health Here Does Not Function. FOR GOOD SHOES 2423 YONGE STREET -â€" Gordon Ironside OBITUARY Style Arch Shoes for Women Width A to Dâ€"â€"size 3 to 8 Guaranteed to give comfort $7.50 matter of public health We cannot c0n- ceive that we have attained perfection by‘ any means. UNTIL WE HAVE THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR SUCH INACTIVITY OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH AS PICTURED BY A RE- TIRING MEMBER. If the statutes call for four general meetings of the Board of Health to be held every year, FOUR MEETINGS SHOULD BE HELD, and they should be held on regular dates so that the public would know when and where they could bring any complaints or suggestions. The Board of Health should invite the co-operation and ad- vice of the Women’s Institute, the Home and. School Club and any other organizations working in the interests ‘of public welfare. If a report of the 'activities of the Board of Health should be presented to the council an- nually the council should see that that report is received at the proper time. If the Board of Health decides that 2. Sanitary survey of the village is in the best interest of public health the board should have the services of a Sanitary Inspector whose duties are not so heavy as to make it impossible to at- tend to this important work. A musical treat of rare merit is in store for the people of this district which will be given in the Richmond Hill Presbyterian church next Wed- hesday evening at 8 p.m. by the choir of fifty voices of the Victoria Presby‘ terian church, Toronto. The entire liprogram will be given by the choir (and will include special numbers by iMisses Alma Renwick, Vera Tanton, “Helen McCort, Ruby Bass, Lucie Rad; lford, Jessie Hesson, Martha Hogg, C- ‘McLaren, Mrs. P.M. Burton, Mrs. A. E. David, Mrs. W.T. Grimshaw and' Messrs Frank Hurd, W. Wyllie, P.G. Riggs, Theo Carruthers assisted by Miss Aileen Atkinson, Richmond Hill, violinist. The concert is under the auspices of the choir. Admission a- dults 25 cents; children 15 cents. REMEMBER THE DATE, WEDNES- DAY EVENING, JANUARY 25. fl In reply to the statements of Mr. Davies, Reeve LGnau who is also chairman of the Board of Health stat- ed that whenever anything was brought to his attention he called a meeting and that the Medical Health Officer was always on the job and quickly attended to any irregularities If there was any work to be done he had the sanitary inspector do it. CARD OF THANKS Sergt.-Major and Mrs. J. Butler desire to express their heartfelt and sincere thanks to all friends and neighbors who were so kind and con- siderate during the recent illness of my daughter Dorothy who passed a- lway Friday, January 13th with influ- enza. May God bless you all. Councillor Herrington said that the report of Mr. Davies did not speak much for himself as he had been a member of the board for two years. Despite the protest of Mr.‘ Davies that he did not want to be appointed for the coming year the members of the council included his name in the appointment byâ€"law as a member of the Board of Health for the year 1928. Mr. Davies intimated that he would forward a written resignation. Chevrolet Demonstration A very large crowd from all parts- bf the district assembled in the gar- ;age of W.G. Baldock Ltd., Richmond ‘Hill on Monday night to enjoy the an- lnual Chevrolet demonstration. Inte- resting lectures were given and mov- ing pictures of the General Motors 1proving ground were shown. McDon- "ald’s four piece orchestra supplied music during the evening. Several of the New Models’ of Chevrolet were on display and were admired by the large 'crowd who appreciated the many im- provements and splendid workmanship of the 1928 Model.
