H. and the Secre- . tary present Dr. Wilson reported ‘ that several firms had been inter- ‘ viewed in regard to the purchase of a chlorination plant for the Waterâ€" works and that a representative of one of the firms had visited the plant with a View to ascertaining- the requirements of the system Mr. B. ‘H. Lasher waterworks engineer who gwas present was asked his opinion on the matter and stated that he had not yet determined just what. type of ‘ machine the system required He de- scribed the process of chlorination and expressed the opinion that a manual-operated machine would give no better service than the system now in use and that an automatic machine by which the supply of chlorine would be regulated by the flow of water would be the only sat- isfactory equipment. He pointed out that at present there was no means of measuring the flow of water on RichmOnd Hill Board of Health Discusses Many Timely Topics Public Interest in this picture demands‘that it be shown for the balance of this week Friday and Saturday Inclusive.

I Dr. Wilson reported that an analy- ‘sis of the local water supply dated L/March 26 showed the water to be Fgood, free from colon bacilli and that well waters which were under suspi- ‘cion were of fair quality. In regards to the local milk supply the M O H stated that the supply of the local dairyman was of good quality and the members commented ~very favorably on the efforts of the dairy in installing new equipment 1and trying in every possible way to lensure a good milk supply for the village. The recent tests showed the milk to be of much higher test than the requirement and the milk was satisfactory in every way. Dr. Wilson suggested the advis- ability of treating the children of lthe Public School to immunize them :from Diphtheria. "This will be com- .menced next week and consent cards 'will be distributed to the children this week. Parents are also invited to bring children of pre-school age to receive this treatmen‘ A resolution was carried instruc- ting Mr. Lasher to investigate the matter and procure all passible in- formation and data with the view of determining the best type of machine to suit local requirements.

Liberty: In All Things. Charity.” RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO, V" LIMITED ‘1‘ ha 24 Hour Service | GOOD PLACE TO. BUY A USED CAR MORE FUNDS ARE NEEDED TO LAND INDUSTRY HERE EVERYONE MUST ASSIST IF OBJECTIVE IS TO BE REACHED An enthusiastic meeting- 'of the Richmond Hill Ratepayers Associa- tion was held in the council chamber on Monday night when the proposed offer to an industrial concern with the view of having it locate here was fully discussed. F. J. Mansbridge made a very capable presiding officer in the absence of the president of the IaSSOCiation. Despite the unfavorable weather over fifty ratepayers Were present and every on was a booster for the project. A resolution by Dr. Wilson and Mr. W. A. Wright that the Associaâ€" tion make an offer of the land to the Company was carried unanimously without a dissenting voice and will be carried out by the committee just as soon as sufficient funds are prom- ised to warrant the undertaking. The ‘reports of the canvassing committee ‘Were again very ’encouraging' xbut Ithere is still a substantial balance to lbe subscribed. The sooner that the money can be raised the better are the chances of securing the industry and any citizens who have not yet subscribed and are interested in the success of the proposition should not withhold their decision but should give the committee some definite as- surance of the amount they will give. Any subscriptions however large or small will be welcomed by the com- mittee. We have not heard one substantial argument against the proposition and the general feeling of the citi- izens of this district apparently is that this represents a chance of a life-time for Richmond Hill. The committee of ratepayers are Working hard but a few cannot do it all. THE SUCCESS OR FAILURE OF THE PROJECT RESTS IN THE HANDS OF THE PEOPLE OF RICHMOND HILL. If by their Subscriptions they show in a practical way that they appreciate the possibilities for pro_l ‘g‘ress, prosperity and development as a result of the location of a factory employing two hundred and fifty hands then the chances of securing the industry are the very best. If the whole matter is left to a few men , and the rest sit back and say “I hope they get it” but let it stop there, then there is little chance of success. \To talk favorably of a project but do nothing to ensure its success is like putting the cart before the horse, it gets you nowhere. Every citizen-of Richmond Hill should be a personal missionary for the success of this in- dustrial opportunity and should, from now until the objective is reached de- vote every effort in that direction. The committee would be glad if anyâ€" one wishing to make a subscription, or anyone willing to a3sist in the canvass would get in touch with the chairman of the committee T. H. Trench, phone IL], or the secretary, telephone 9. Only a few days re- main to either. “go over the top” with the objective or fall down, as the options which have been secured 'are for a very limited period. Co- operation spells success Let every- one have a part hi this great comâ€" munity undertaking. Y.W.A. MEETING The Y.W.A. of the United Church, Richmond Hill will meet at the home of Mrs W. Mortson on Tuesday evenâ€" ing. April 3rd., at 8 pm. An inter. esting‘programme has been arrangâ€" ed. A cordial invitation is given to all the young ladies of the church to attend.

STOP THE PRESS NEWS THURSDAY, MARCH 29, 1928 The annual oratorical contest for students of the Richmond Hill High School sponsored by the Home and School Club was held in the gymn- asium on Tuesday night There was a good attendance of citizens and [:tudents and the speeches of the ten contestants were well delivered and were of exceptionally good quality. It was freely commented upon that the contestants each year are show- ing marked improvement and the plan of holding the event annually is apparently having a noticeable effect in improving the art of public speak- ll’lg‘ among the students. Miss Nellie Collins was awarded the first prize in the senior contest for a very ori- ginal and timely oration on the sub- 'ject “Spring”. The winner is posâ€" sessed of a delightful platform man- ner which captivated her audience jand the spice of original humor ‘which was evident added much to her ioration. Mr. Donald Hick was award- ed the second prize for a well deliv- ered address of “Canada’s Future”. Other speakers were Miss Mary Hickey “The Greatness of our Heritâ€" age”, Miss Margaret Plewman "The Invention and, Progress of the Aero- iplane”, Mr. Walter iSteckley “The lScientific Age”. DRATDRICAL CONTEST AT HIGH SCHOOL ‘ Miss Olive Wilson won the junior contest, taking as her subject “Agri- culture in Canada", and Miss Irene ‘Routley was given second place with ifthe subject “The Natural Resources of Canada”. Other contestants were John Wilson “The Story of Canadian Literature”, Miss Winnie Gillings, “Ontario”, Miss Dorothy Mason “Canada’s Immigration Problem”. er. A. E. Plewman president of the club occupied the chair and Mr. Robert Shaw of North Toronto and Messrs. Robinson and Findlay of St. Andrews College acted as judges. The program of speeches was in- terspersed by musical numbers by Arthur Walker and Miss Nora Johns at the piano and a. guitar solo by Peter Savage. It is gratifying that the Home and School Club are doing such splendid work. in encouraging the development of the art of public speaking. It is worthy of note however that of the ten contestants of the evening only three Were boys There seems to be a holding back among the boys and a ‘tendency to leave the contests too much to the girls. This is regretable ‘because training in public speaking ‘is a valuable asset to a young man in iany walk of life. We will pass on a ‘suggestion that was made to us after >the meeting and would commend it ifor the consideration of those spon- soring- the contest, namely that there be 'a separate competition for boys iand girls.

The sale of Mr. John Thompson, lot 16 concession 7, Vaughan, on what is known as the “gravel road” was held on Tuesday and was largely attended.
