During the service Rev. A. E. Owen gave an interesting talk to the chil- dren and told the ever delightful story of “The Other Wise Man.” This service was indeed a fine be- ginning for the celebration of the birthday of him who gave freely of his life that we might enjoy Peace and Good Will on earth and ever- lasting joy in Heaven.

Richmond Hill Young Canadians won for the second time the Tri- County League Championship and the McCarthy Cup when they defeated thL Huntsville Black Hawks here last Thursday night by a. score of 14~7. It was a hard fought game with the Young Canadians making an uphil, fight all the time to overcome th< Black Hawk’s two goal lead gainei in; the game at Huntsville. Thc Hawks are an aggressive hard check in‘g team and played excellent lacross for the first three periods, the scort at the end of the third period being Richmond Hill 7, Huntsville 6. aI’c was one of the best games‘ of lacrosse ever seen here. The score is no indication of the game as right until the last hart of the last period the play was close and the teams very evenly matched. The victory rang dbwn the curtain on the 1933 lacrosse season and the Young Canadians are for the second time holders of .the McCarthy Cup. This handsome trophy will be pre~ sentod to the team at the Jubilee ban- quet in the Masonic Hall to-night. DANCE AT VICTORIA SQUARE In the final period Young Cana- dians put forth a winning effoyt and ended the game seven goals up on the northern contenders. A record crowd for the season attended the game and the fans were delighted with the efforts of the Young Cana- dians and at the same time give much credit to the Huntsville team for the splendid game. MCCARTHY CUP WILL BE PRESENTED TO TEAM AT JUBILEE BANQUET TO-VIGHT ELOCUTION thool ngrd Refuses Use of High WS‘chpol‘ for Jubilee Purposes The Richmond Hill Board of Edu- cation in regular session Tuesday eve- ning confirmed the action of the Chairman of the Board in refusing to grant the use of the High School Gymnasium for Community Diamond Jubilee Banquet which will be held to-night. In introducing the question Chair- man A. A. Eden explained that he had received a request from the Vil- lage council for the uSe of the High School for the Community Banquet and after consulting the members of the Board he had given a refusal. Since then he stated there has been a good deal of criticism of the Board’s action and he felt that much of that criticism was unfairly direct- ed on one or two members and more particularly himself as chairman. He felt this was unfair and he asked that the Board go on record on the matter. Trustees Bert Cook said that as other arrangments had been made he doesn’t think any action was neces sary. No more need be said about it, he said. Trustee Buchanan suggested that a motion of confidence in the chair- man might be passed, but as far as going on record that the school should not be used by some organi- zation to which the Board might want to give the school he would not favor it. One of the churches might want it some time and We might want to let them have it, he said. Trustee Trenchâ€"It’s not too late to take action one way or the other now. It is really a. community event and the council thinks they should have the use of the school. Trustee Angle stated that when he was first approached he was inclined to be favorable. It was a public af- fair, so why not use the school. How- ever, the more I thought it over the more I was against it, he said. I gave the chairman my opinion that there were more things against us- ing the school for the banquet than in favor of it. Trustee Hopper stated that when first approached he said that if the others were agreeable he was agree- able, and he still took that stand. Trustee Secrett suggested that the entire discussion was out of order as no written application was made to the Board. The application has never come before us as a Board, so how can we deal with it. It was an inâ€" formal application and before our meeting other arrangements have been made, so I see no reason why we should take definite action. Trustee Angleâ€"That’s just pass- ing the buck. Trustee Secrettâ€"Not passing the buck, just keeping a point of order. Trustee Buchanan-â€"â€"I still favor passing a resolution of confidence in the chairman, but I do not favor passing any motion saying nJO-one can have the use of the High School. Trustee Trenchâ€"This is a com- munity affair and they want to use the school. Our duty is to determine whteher or not it will interfere or whether or not it is in the best in- terests of the school. Trustee Angleâ€"For expediency probably the best course is the one suggested to forget it if we can. If the chainnan’s acts are corroborated: that might be sufficient. Trustee Co‘okâ€"I don’t think we should let them have it. Trustee Tgenchâ€"When first ap- Trustee Mrs Wrightâ€"I don’t think I gave that impression, but I did want to see the Board have the op- portunity of discu§sing it. Chairman Eden said that. when he gave the answer to the council stat- ing the school could not be used for the banquet he was giving \the ans- wer of the Board in accordance with the opinions of the members express- ed to him. He then proceeded to poll the members as to the answers they had given him previous to his ad- Vising the council of the decision. Trustee Mrs. Wrightâ€"I felt I would like to have the Board given the opportunity of discussing the question. I appreciate there are some things to be said against it as well as for it. Chairman Edenâ€"I understood you to say that there was more to be said against it than for it. Jubilee Greetings On this the occasion of Richmond Hill’s Dia- mond Jubilee We take pleasure in extending sincere birthday greetings and the wish that the village may continue to grow and prosper in the days that are to come. Richmond Hill Shepgard 8: (iii! Lumber Co. All Kinds of Lumber and Building Supplies Phone 27 proached I thought we should have time to consider it and when you asked me I gave the opinion that it probably wasn’t in the best interests of the school to have the banquet there. to others who thought it would be a detm'ment to the school I thought we would be better Without it. Trustee Hopperâ€"I favored it When first approached, but after talking Trustee Angleâ€"I have already ex- pressed my opinion. Trustee Sandersonâ€"I have already expressed my opinion as unfavorable. Trustee J. F. Atkinsonâ€"I am op- posed to it, because who would pay for the damage that would be done. Trustee Buchananâ€"When I was asked abOut it I said that Whatever the chairr‘nan decided I was behind him one hundred per cent. How- ever, I suggested that if the banquet were held there it would be a good idea to have officers to direct traffic to prevent any damage to the lawns. Trustee Secrettâ€"When the request was first made I thought it would be a splendid idea, but then when sug- gestions were made that it would in~ terfere with the school routine, dam- age the hardWood floors, etc., I hoped that other arrangements would be made and we would not have to say no. I eertainly did not want: to say no to another body of public men in this community trying hard to serve the public, but if the interests of the school Were to be hindered then of course no must be the answer. Chairman Eden said that in view of the expression of those opinions he had conveyed to the council the Board’s refusal to the request for the-- use of the school for the community banquet. What else could I do, he said. The resolution confirming the ac- tion of the chairman was unanimousâ€" ly passed by the meeting. Mr. A. J. Clark desires to express sincere thanks for the many kind at- tentions extended during the illness of his late sister and for expressions of sympathy in his recent bereave- ment. Mr. Fred W. Grainger amf family desire to express their sincere thanks for the many acts of kindness, ex- pressions of sympathy and floral tributes in their recent bereavement.
