The roll call followed which was months in an effort to devise ways well responded to with an economy and means of controlling the speed of wrinkle. It being impossible to secure traffic on Yonge Street, some visitors came to town on Tuesday evening and gave a practical exhibition of how it could be done. It was Mrs. Skunk and her healthy family of eight little skunks who showed the world how to slow up traffic. Coolness is one of the attributes of a good traffic c0p and Mrs. Skunk sure took one hundred per cent. in this test. About seven o'clock, unheralded and without the blare of trumpets or the presence of pomp or ceremony amid a heavy even- ing traffic the mother skunk cooly pi- loted her little family across Yonge Street near the south end of the vill- age. Unflustered by the oncoming rush of motors, she guided her “youngsters” with all the skill, pre- cision and efficiency of a Roman gen- eral of old, manoevering to the right and then to the left to miss certain venturesome motorists now going back to encourage a straggler of the house- hold who was having difficulty in ne- gotiating the dangerous journey and every now and then casting al threat- ening glance at the startled onlook- ers. Traffic which a few minutes be- fore was whizzing down the street in mad haste came to a dead standstill and awaited until the aristoeratic looking lady and her family landed safely on the other curb and scurried away up the bank to continue their peaceful journey. No member of the town council was present to witness the scene, the village traffic officer did not witness the spectacle but it is hoped that they will be on the lookout and that when Mrs. Skunk makes her return they will be on hand to get some pointers in traffic control. kvhich Imail.” a speaker, the time was spent in dis- cussions for the future benefit of the institute.

HOSPITALITY TO VISITING DIGNITARIES Richmond Hill’s hospitality to unin- ‘vited guests who pass this way and ‘who are in need of a meal cost the municipality $25. in the past two years. A bill for this amount was presented to council on Monday night by “Mine Hosts” Grant Bros. of Hotel Richmond, who on various occasions during this period have been responsi- ble for the entertainment of these “Knights of the Road.” J There are many fine fields of fall lwheat in the County and it is ripening fast. Spring grains are making a healthy and rapid growth. Weeds as fwell as the crops are growing and it is lkeeping the farmer busy to keep them down. The heat following the lmoisture of the past weeks has pro- duced a remarkable growth which in the estimation of many farmers in- lterviewed is almost unprecedented. According to the revised statutes of Ontario when there are more .than 300 voters in a municipality the election must be carried out 'by voting in sub-divisions. There l'were 838 eligible votes in Rich- mond Hill last year so that at least }three subâ€"divisions must be made. At ‘the regular meeting on Monday night clerk A. J. Hume submitted plans for the division of the village into three subdivisions and an alternative plan making four sub-divisions if it was thought advisable. The dividing lin- es will be north and south from Cent- re Street, and east and west of Yonge street. If the three sub-division plan is adopted all on the east side of Yonge Street, would vote in one subâ€" division. No action was taken by the council on Monday night but the matâ€" ter will be brought up and dealt with at, the next meeting". Contrary to an impression which has gone abroad this does not mean that the town will be run on the ward system with certain councillors elect- ed from each ward. It is merely for the convenience of ballotting so that all electors will be assured of ample time to cast their ballots. The reeve and four councillors will be elected as at present, but the voting will take place by sub-divisions. W, A. Vanderburgh applied to the council for a rebate on the cost of sidewalk constructed by him in front of Richmond Hill motors. Mr. Van'd- erburgh constructed the walk in front of his place of business some two years ago at his own expense. Since that time the sidewalk has been built by the town and he asks for a rebate of fifty per cent. of the cost of the five foot walk which was granted by the council. Crop reports received from all sec- tions of York County this week are 'Very promising and farmers are more ,optimistic concerning the prospects chan at any time this season. The lwéather conditions are ideal and the lcountry side never had a more beauti- ‘tful appearance. Haying is well under ‘iway and some excellent crops are re- ‘borted which are far in excess of what ‘lwas anticipated early in the year.

A good crowd enjoyed the annual picnic of the Richmond Hill Presby- terian Sunday school at Bond Lake on Wednesday afternoon. Games and races for prizes were thoroughly en- rjoyed by all. ! The chloride water from this York, county well, containing a percentage of mineral oil, and being put on the road in liquid form by a pressure spray, forcing it deep into the gravel, ‘is expected to prove an excellent road binder, as well as providing a much more economical process than spread- ing crystal chloride on with a shovel, as the chloride gets right down into the gravel and spreads evenly. ’ Calcum chloride, which is imported, is used extensively in the United Stat- 65 and Canada for the purpose of lay- Eng dust on the roads. It is put on in crystal form on top of the gravel. The fiction of it is to draw the moisture through the gravel, keeping the road- ‘way damp. The chloride is in three forms: cal- lcium, magnesium and sodium, while lthe well also produces a certain per- ‘icentage of mineral oil. James Hen- lderson. chief shareholder in the syn- :Hicate, declares that the find is of great value. Calcium chloride is now used for road maintenance. Already the local solution has been tried out on Wilson Ave-the main road leading to Westonâ€"about an eighth of a mile east and west being treated. i. It is reported that drilling operatâ€" ions for oil which have been in oper- ation on the farm of John As}. on the fourth concession of Vaughan have re- sulted in striking water heavily imâ€" lpregnated with chlorides which is re- "garded as a much richer and more \valuable discovery. The High School Entrance examin- ‘ation results which are announced this Iweek are very gratifying as far as Richmond Hill Public School is concer- ned. Principal Walter Scott had a class of twenty one and every one was successful and thirteen passed with honors. This is an enviable record which is a credit to the school and a tribute to the Principal and the entire staff of teachers of the school. This might be termed Principal Scott’s “Century Year” as the successful class this year brings the total of puâ€" pils who have passed the entrance ex- ams during the four years he has been in Richmond Hill up to the one hund- red mark, one hundred and one to be exact. In this 101 who have passed thirty seven have received honors and there have been only three failures in the four years with a one hundred per cent pass both last year and this year. The four “high” pupils at the Rich- mond Hill centre are also from Mr. Scott’s class. Robert Little headed the list. Vivian Routley was second, and Jean Middleton, Herbert Mason, jand Lawrence Smith were tied for the ithird place. Forty two pupils tried ‘the exams here this year and the fol]- ‘owing list shows thirty-four who have ;b'een successful.
