While the “Dukes” captained by Mr. Bert Cook were considered as a possibility easy winners, yet the “Shrubs” led by Captain Brillinger made it a matter of concern for them in the first game of the match and it was only on the second round that Cook’s squad got away to a good lead only to have it pulled down again in the last game, the match ending with a score of 46 to 33 favor Cook’s. Good service and defense coupled with a definite effort to excel in three touch team play extended this match much beyond the usual time and made it the most interesting of the season. Elgin team was again on hand in full numbers and perform- ed admirably considering the short time organized, finishing only foul-'- teen points behind their opponents, a. composite team organized to op- pose them. With the completion of the sched- ule other outside groups will take part in invitation matches.

ALLISON SKIPWORTH MARY BOLAND THEATRE MO. 2172 Yonge & Castlefield MAPLE "In Essentials, Unity; In RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO THURSDAY, MARCH lath, 1934 Many Features Planned For The 1934 Spring Fair The officers and directors of the Richmond Hill Fair met Tuesday eve- ning in the Memorial Hall in prep- aration for the annual Spring Fair which will be held May 24th. The 1934 Fair will be the eighty-fifth an- nual exhibition staged by the Rich- mond Hill Agricultural Society and every effort will be put forth to make this year’s fair bigger and better than ever. The prize list for all classes of horses will continue to be one of the most attractive in this part of Ontario and a bigger horse show than ever is expected. An effort will be made to encourage local competitors and farmers and stock men of the district are invited to co- operate in making this 1934 show not only more attrpctive to the spec- tators but also more beneficial to the Agricultural industry. The saddle and hurdle events which proved so popular last year will again be a feature of the fair. This department will be enlarged and a committee headed by Mrs. Frank Dunlop of Richmond Hill is busy pre- paring an enlarged list of events and it is hoped to attract the very best horses in this section of Ontario. A ladies’ polo game will probably be a feature of the day’s program. The directors also have under con- sideration several other features and attractions and announcements Will be 'made from time to time as details are completed. There are some very mean people living in Richmond Hill. In the sum- mer they keep their lawns cut and walks swept. This is very.annoying to the neighbors who prefér to go motoring, or play quoits, or golf, and don’t care a hang anyway what their lawns and walks 100k Iike. But these mean people are at their very worst in winter. Snow, frost or thaw, they keep their sidewalks clear. To the neighbors who wouldn’t dream of demaening themselves by wielding shovel or broom, it is a pos- itive’ insult. Then think of the chil- dren. Those who never clear their walks can sit at the window and see the little deal-s enjoying themselves ploughing through drifts up to their knees. Older persons, especially those with heart trouble may find it tiring, but What of that. This is the age of youth. Presently it freezes and the side- walk becomes a free skating rink. Of course all the pedestrians haven't skates. Some are old, some are ill, and many seem to find the going dif- ficult, but how funny they look when they slip and wave their arms and legs about. The onlookers at the windows feel they are putting on a good show. It makes them feel alâ€" most public spirited. Just as snow and ice are getting a bit tiresome, it thaws and now there is real sport. All the sidewalks where the snow and ice accumulated during the winter have become un- charted seas. What fun the children have sloshing through in their rubber boots. It the water goes over the tops of their boots, weil the kind neighbor who has provided the sea feels it is up to their parents. They should have seen that the children had higher boots, or longer legs, or something. As for the passerby who have no rubber boots, they should carry a pole if they haven’t intelligence enough to know where the ice under the water will hold and where it is going to give way and plunge them in over their shoe tops. In any case they look very funny. Quite as amusing as the ice gymnasts, and that is all that matters to the onlookers at the windows. Of course the mean people lose this fun. And serves them right too But some day they may realize all they’ve been missing. ' Then they might be mean enough to have the window sitters charged an amuse- ment tax, and the proceeds applied to a. forcible cleaning of their walks by the village unemployed. Now wouldn’t that be dreadful. VETERANS EUCHRE The Veterans and Ladies’ Auxiliary will hold a. euchre and dance in the Municipal Hall, Wednesday evening, March 21st. Good‘ prizes. VILLAGE AMENITIES (By A. Villager) ,-e.\'sential:. Liberty; In All Things, Charity." BENNET WINS HOUSE SUPPORT Premier Bennett vigorously fought in favor of the titles restoration and Rt. Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King strongly opposed the move as did Humphrey Mitchell, {.Hamilton labor member, Miss Ame MacPhail and other independent members. The restoration of titles in Canada was ratified by the Federal House of Commons on Wednesday on a division of the house by a vote of 113 to 94.- Premier Bennett proclaimed as er- roneous the philosophy that all men are equal and under an alleged threat of resignation led his conservative colleagues in upholding the titles restoration by a majority of 19 votes. It was the closest division in the life of the present parliament. From Conservative ranks, George Spotton, North Huron, whose sten- torian-tonecl denunciation of titles a few sessions ago was recalled in to- day’s debate, cast his vote with the Liberals for the Mitchell anti-titles resolution, and Ira D. Cotnam, North Renfrew, bolted with him. From Liberal ranks there bolted the lone knight of the Opposition Sir Eugene Fiset, who found his posi- tion as a titled Commoner unten- able in the ranks of an anti-title Parliamentary group. He alone from Opposition ranks arose to vote against the Hamilton Laborite’s pro- posal to instruct the Prime Minister in the titular ways he should travel. The only other knight of the Com- mons is Sir George Perley, sitting in the front row of Conservative benches. Sir George voted with his party and with Sir Eugene in support of titles. TERAVAIN EN -TOPPER On Monday evening, March 12th, at 7 p.m. in Richmond Hill Presby- terian Church, the marriage was sol- emnized of Miss Zilpha Topper, young est (laughter of Mrs. C.

During the signing of the register Miss E. Barker sang “0 Promise Me.” After the ceremony a reception was held at the home of the bride and a buffet luncheon served, when Mrs. F. Plun- kett and Mrs. A. Shaw, aunts of the Ibride, pouredl tea.
