The resig- nation was referred to Road) Super~ imtendent Maxwell and members as- sured Mr. Boynton they appreciated the importance of this road and Mould1 give it tiheir “best attention.

Two pipers of the Bal- moral Pipe Band/ provided} stirring Scottish airs. The Royal Train due at 12:03 was first sighted at 12.13 just ten minutes late. It was traJv- elling slowly and as it reduced» speed spirits rose in the realization that at least there would .be opportunity for an excellent View of the train and then a cheer from the northern end of the crowd was the signal that Their Majesties had come out on the platform. Enthusiastic cheers arose from the crowd and! the Royal couple waved‘ hack in recognition. ‘The King well browned with a healthy tan Were a grey check suit and lookedl to. be thoroughly enjoying the trip. The Queen- in attractive pink- costume looked even more beautiful than when .s-een in- Toronto and with her now well known gesture smiled acâ€" knowledgment to the crowd. .It was 13. wonderful experience. Everyone I in the great crowd was nappy, many almost to the point of tears. They ,had‘ seen their King and Queen. A crowd estimated at over five thousand gathered in the neighbour- hood of Richmond Hill C.N.R. sta- tion Tuesday were thrilled as Their Majesties King George and Queen Elizabeth appeared on the 'obServaâ€" tion platform of the Royal Train and waved greetings in answer to the echoing cheers of, the great crowd. It was a thrill long to be remembered and the people had an excellent opportunity to see the‘ Royal couple as the train crawled along at about five miles per hour. The people started to gather early in the morning and by eleven o‘clock there was a steady stream of cars' heading in the direction of the sta- tion. Pupils of the pulblic and high school swelled the crowd! at 11.30 and as train time neared every vantage point in the neighbourhood of the station was occupied. . l The crowd had gathered only in the hope they might "have a glimpse of the Royal couple. There had been no definite assurance the train would stop or that the King and Queen would make appearance. Reeve J. A. Greene and memlbers of council have been untiring in their efforts to have the King and Queen stop here, and failing a stOp to have them make an appearance. In their efforts they had the whole-hearted co-operation of :001. W. P. Mulock, MP. for North York who as late as Monday evening had- wiretl the Roy- al train urging that it be arranged' for the King and Queen to make an appearance here if a stop was not possible. Col. Mulock who me; Their Majesties‘ at the time of their Ott- awa visit was on hand at_ Richmond Hill to join with North YO’l‘nk resiâ€" dents in acclaiming the Royal couple. Reeve J. A. Greene and members of council were ready to do all civic honors if at the last minute a 'stop couldI have been arranged. Little Miss Margaret Scott, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Scott was ready with a beautiful bouquet of roses to present to Her Majesty, The Queen. When it was evident that the train was only slowing- down and not stopping th beautiful bou- quet was tossed in he direction of the Queen who stood on the observa- tion platform but unfortunately it missed its mark. The Queen noticed the misfortune and with expressive gesture of hand and a cheering smile expressed her disappointment. The bouquet intended for the Queen was rapidly torn apart and roses and ferns carried away as souvenirs. Although the Queen. bouquet of Richmond H pared for her she was of another bouquet late lar Richmond Hill Thrilled By Royal Visit Tuesday ---Thousands Gather Here Anxious Waiting Rewarded by Appearance of King and Queen Bouquet for Queen Missed Train But Roses Presented Prime Minister King Later Passed on to Her Majesty Royal Couple View The Observatory Prime Minister Presents Roses The Queen RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JUNE 8th, 1939. 1er bouquet later in same kind‘ of bloor .M roses placed on the ' Rt.

As the train gained speed after passing Richmond Hill the King and Queen had an excellent view of the Dunlap Observatory, and had its im- portance explained to them [by Prime Minister King.

Greater-owds gathered the same morning at Beaverton, Zephyr, Mount Allbert, Vandorf, Gormley, Thornlea, and along the route of the train as it made its way back to Toronto after the trip to the coast. Spe- cial police assist-ed local and county officers in handling the crowd and veterans guarded the crossings and bridges of the C.N.R. through the district. It. was a red-letter day in the his- tory of Richlmontll Hill and everyone was thoroughly dvelightedl with the whole affair. While many had .seen ‘the King- and Queen in Toronto it was a pleasant experience to see them once more and an- added thrill to have them honor the home town, Richmond Hill, with an appearance. And to crown it all the Queen wore pink, to 10ka her truly loveliest. on their Royal tour. Tuesday even- ing Mr. Mills» received a telegram as follows from Mr. King: Royal Train, London, Ont. Mr. H.

North York township is a. hive of activity according to recent reports which indicate a revival in buiid'ing operations which might be termed‘ a boom. There were permits for 68 solid brick houses, ranging in \falrue from $15,000 downwards, and for 148 frame ones. In the same month last year only 65 permits were isâ€" sued‘ altogether. The fact that building restrictions were tightened considerably during May was responsible for some of the current activity, one blanket permit being taken out for mOTe than 100 frame houses in anticipation of more stringent regulations. Building Inspector J. R. Garlick issued] permits amounting to $707,â€" 468 during the month of May, a greater total than in any entire year up to 1936, when the current boom began gathering headrway. Building total for the year is now over the million mark with promise of continued' activity In June it is expected‘that last year’s record, $1,- 500,000 total will be eclipsed ’before half of this year has elapsed.
