THURSDAY, APRIL 13th, 1933 Eggs will scarcely be so plentiful for Easter Sunday as they would have been had the warm weather of March continued through the fore part of April. ' Mr. John Brown had a successful sale yesterday, and was well pleased with the result. Messrs. Eckardt and Prentice wielded the gavel by turns, and got through a large list quite early in the evening. Implements sold well, and cattle brought good figures. One cow was carried along until the price reached $54.00. The High and Public Schools of the Village closed on April 7th for the Easter Holidays and opened again on Monday, April 18th. On Wednesday a number of rela- tives and friends gathered at the res- idence of Mr. Chas. Radmore to wit- ness the marriage of Miss Ida Louisa, eldest daughter of the late Wm. J. Smith to Mr. George Drury of Mark- ham Township. The ceremony was performed by Rev. J. C. Wilson of the Stouffville Presbyterian Church. Mr. and Mrs. Drury will take up their abode on a farm in Vaughan Town- ship near Richmond Hill. The tank was nearly full of water and Gertrude was wet above her waist, but fortunately she held on with her arms until her little friend, Ethel Metcalf, drew her from her perilous position. A number of the village tanks are dangerous traps and the problem is how to overcome the difficulty. It is impossible to keep them locked so close to the ground, and yet it, is dangerous to have the lids in such a way that children can open them. The covers could be easily nailed down, but in case of a fire there might be difficulty in openâ€" ing them quickly. The council will, no doubt, look into the matter and see that the covers are not allowed to decay. Gertrude, the five year old daughâ€" ter of Mr. Geo. Derry, had a narrow escape from drowning on Tuesday afternoon. On her way to see her grandmother, MrS. G. Wiley, the little girl jumped on the top of a water tank sunk in the ground op- posite Mr. Elliott’s on Richmond St., when the worn out plank gave way. The folIowing was copied from the Stouffville Sentinel of the week be- fore: THIRTY-FIVE YEARS AGO From Our Issue of April 7th, 1898 TWENTY YEARS AGO From Our Issue of April 10th, 1913 Deep regret was felt in Thornhill when it was known that Nellie Cooper beloved wife of Mr. J. J. DavidSOn, had passed away on Thursday after an illness of four weeks. The whole village was plunged in gloom as she endeared herself to a host of friends by her gentle loving disposition. She was a valued member of the Meth- odist Church Choir. The funeral was held on Saturday afternoon at which Rev. T. Douglas, Rev. S. A. Lawâ€" rence and Rev. J. H. Oke took part. The choir led the singing and also sang “Beautiful Isle of Somewhere.” On Sunday evening a memorial ser- vice was held in the church when short addresses were given by Rev. J. H. Oke and Rev. Douglas and suit able music Was rendered by the choir. The choir loft was draped in black and a sheaf of lilies and roses rested on the vacant chair. Mr. and Mrs. Peter McCarter have returned from Saskatchewan and will make their home in Richmond Hill. Changes are taking place in the Lorne Block. Mr. Ransom has re- moved to his residence opposite the Rustic Inn property, and the two south rooms in the Lorne Block are being fitted up for Mr. Norman Glass gents’ furnishings. Probably the best sale of work horses ever held in Richmond Hill took place Tuesday at the Palmer House, the property of the Lauder, Spears and Howland Lumber Co. The sale was conducted by Mr. J. H. Pren- tice, and scarcely an animal Out of nearly 30 sold was “knocked down” at less than $200. Some teams went for nearly $600, and many of the horses for $250 and $275.

REID PHONE 4 Ontario ran down the grade Friday afternoon and through the lumber shed, the proâ€" perty of Mr. Trench. A cart was completely smashed, a covered buggy badly damaged, along with other articles. Workmen were on the job most of the afternoon and night, jack- ing up the car and getting it up on the track again. ’ Mr. Justice Lennox issued judg-i ment Monday dismissing the appli- cation of the temperance forces of Aurora for an order prohibiting his‘ Honor, Judge Morgan, from certify- ing that the local option by-law subâ€" mitted to a vote of the people of that municipality in January last was not carried. The effect of this decision, together with Judge Morgan‘s find- ing that the requisite three-fifths vote was not secured, is that another vote cannot be taken for three years. Reeve Pugsley presided at a Pub- lic meeting in the Masonic Hall, Mon- day evening. He explained the seâ€" vere 1055 that Mr. Lawrence had suf- fered on Good Friday when his large WWW” ‘“ To THE CITIZENS of ONTARIO Why this ofler is made to you Task will take time Free Electric Flat Rate Water Heaters for Every Hydro Home in Ontario Greenhouse was practically destroyed by the high wind. The Council wished to get the option of the ratepayersl relative to giving Mr. Lawrence some assistance in replacing his building. The opinion was freely expressed that the Greenhouse would soon employ a large number of hands, and was con- sidered a valuable asset in our Vilâ€" lge. By helping this industry we would be helping the Village, but the new building must be built so as to be proof against wind or storm. Moved by Mr. Wm. Pratt, seconded by Mr. Wm. Innes, that as Mr. Lawâ€" rence had approached the Village Council for aid to enable him to re~ construct his greenhouse buildings and otherwise assist him to carry on his undertakings here, the rate- payers assembled here request the Village Council to submit a by-Iaw to provide for raising the sum of Five Thousand Dollars to be loaned to Mr. Lawrence, the loan to run for ‘ten years and to be repaid at the rate of One Thousand Dollars per annum during the last five years of [the said term, without interest. The Hydroâ€"Electric Power Commission of Ontario is prepared to place in every Hydro home a flat rate electric water heater at no charge to the consumer. This means that an electric heater complete with accessoriesâ€" heating element, thermostat and tank insulation and the necessary Wiringâ€"will be installed in any Hydro home in Ontario where facilities exist absolutely free of all installation (or! to the consumer. All the consumer has to do is to pay for the current he uses at a new low flat rate. This plan provides for the free installation of “Flat Rate Water Heaters” only where such electric hot water heaters are not already installed. This offer will be made for a limited period of timeâ€"the expiry date to be announced later. In homes where a “Booster” heater may be required in addition to the "Flat Rate Water Heater” installation will be made and the consumer will pay a nominal monthly charge which may give him exclusive ownership of the heater at the end of a five-year period. ‘ UNUSED POWER. Owing to the present long-continued depression, resulting in the slackening of industry through- out the province and the material falling OE in the con- sumption of power by industrial consumers, the Commission possesses power capacity which if not used will be lost. In order to absorb this power the Commission is repared to install electric water heaters in all Hydro homes fie of mt, believing that mutual benefits will be conferred on (a) the user through free equipment and a water heating service superior in availability, convenience and comfort to any other method of water heating; (b) the Commission through revenue obtained by the sale of power. The Hydro Commission submits this oEer to the people of Ontaxio for two reasons : To z'rzeredse eomzemptz'oo of electrical power. To yet to work as memy Om‘ezrz'o citizens a; possible. Despite the fact that this plan has been given many months of study and preparation by the engineering stafl” of the Commission it will take time for the factories of the Province to produce all the equipment called for. Raw materials must be boughtâ€"special tools devisedâ€"diescutâ€"machinery installed and even new industries established, before we can be assured of a steady supply'of heaters built to our standards and specifications. We have already secured the utmost co-operation from electrical, mechanical and allied trades in the Province. Costs of equipment have been worked to a new low level providing at the same time fair wages to those who have found employment and a fair return to all those engaged in production. The Hydro Commission has set itself a task of considerable magnitude. There are hundreds of thousands of Hydro homes. Industry and employment are given impetus under the plan. The free installation of electric water heaters eventually pays for itself in power consumed. The plan will cost you nothing. It will give you lasting benefits, the first cost of which has not obligated you for one cent. Every homeâ€"every residentâ€"the whole Province will be benefited, stimulated and enriched. ' From time to time the Commission will advertise details of progress. We confidently anticipate your interest and co-operation in a plan by which all will profit. Watch for the next announcement by this Commission. Your own Hydro officials will gladly furnish further information. THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL.

The plan of the Commission to install free electric water heaters in all Ontario Hydro homes will directly stimulate employment, in addition to benefits to be derived from economy, convenience and increased comfort in the home. Orders have already been placed with factories located in various parts of the Province which have created employment for skilled and unskilled labour and resulted in the purchase of raw materials and the disbursement of wages. There is scarcely a home in Ontario which will not be aEecred beneficially by this plan of free installation of electric water heaters. I ’“5‘.m¢%% HON. R. COOKE, M.L.A., Chairman. ’ C.
