Trench was re- l[turned as Reeve with a majority of 94 over J. A. Greene who has servâ€" edl as chief magistrate for seven iconsecutive years. 'The new Reeve |has a long record of municipal exâ€" !{perience dating ‘back to 1899 when [he was first elected to council. In iall he has slervedl fourteen years as la councillor and was reeve from E19119 to 1925. In addition he has i‘lbeen for many years a memlber of ‘the Board of Education and: been Ian active citizen prominent in many lcom’munity activities. For the first time in at least thirtyAfive years, and probably the first time in its history, the Vill- age of Richmond Hill will have an entirely new council for the year 1940. Never {before in the thirty- five years: Mr. A. J. Hume has been clerk of the municipality has an entirely new council took office in the village. In the secondI largest vote ever to :be recorded‘ the elect- ors defeated all meml‘oers of the 19439 council seeking re-election. There were 560 votes recorded for the reeveship which was just one less than voted: in 1933 the year J. A. Greene first was elected as Reeve. For the first thirtyâ€"five years, first time in its age of Richmond entirely new cot 1940. Never ibei ,J. Butler . . . . . . R. D. Little W. Midrdlleton W. Neal . . . . . . . C. Nelson . . . . . . Dr. J. P. Wilson An emergency cable received from the North Pole advised the Veterans of Vaughan and| Richmond Hill that Santa Claus would not be able to see the kiddies until December 28 and right on time Santa Claus eni- “tertained 150 kiddies of Veterans at the Municipal Hall. It was a 'very exciting night for the young ‘ones and they took full advantage of the excellent food and entertainâ€"‘ ment which was provided through the Veterans’ Women’s Auxiliary. promising singers and dancers came from Maple, Elgin Mills, Richvale and Richmond! Hill and entertained iin professional manner. The high- light of the evening came as the kiddies were singing Jingle Bells. The lights were dimmed and as if from no where came Santa Claus loaded with toys and candies for each child. It was a very enjoyable evening and three rousing cheers rang through- the Hall for the lad- ies who had worked so hard to make the party a; success. With the sin-g- ing of O Canada and God Save the King the kiddies went on their way home tired and sleepy but very thankful that Santa had not for. gotten. The cash prize and year’s free subscription to The Liberal offered for the correct guess as to the per- sonnel of the Richmond Hill 1940 council was won by Mr. J. A. Malb- ley. Of eighty-four guesses sub- mitted Mr. Malbley’s was the only one 100 per cent correct. Dr. J. P. Wilson Heads Poll With Record Vote for Coun- cillor â€"â€" William Neal, Wesley Middleton and R. D.

Greene seven years until the end) of 1939. Monday’s election established a record in the4large vote polled for Dr. J. P. Wilson who was electedl as councillor for 1940. The 4719 votes. Ipolled' for Dr. Wilson was the larg- est vote ever recorded for a counâ€" cillor in Richmoncl Hill. The previ- ous record held' ‘by the late H. J. Mills was 405 votes received by him in the elections of 1931. J. A. Greene who retiredI from the reeveship has held the office conâ€" tinuously since he was elected in 19433 in a three cornered fight after two previous unsuccessful attempts. Defeated‘ last Monday he polled: more votes than he did when elected” in 1933. The vote in 1933 was: Green-e 209, Hill 178, and‘ J. Lunau 174. During his term of seven years he successfully f-ougiht three contests and received three acclamatiOns. While there was keen interest in Monday’s voting the total vote of 560 was not large in comparison to the possible vote of 875. In Mon- day’s voting there were [but two spoiled .ballots. Following the an: nouncement of the results Monday Reeve Trench and all the success- ful candidates thanked the electors for their support and the defeated candidates ext-ended congratulations to the winners. The new council memfbers will ‘be stworn in next Monday morning and the inaugural meeting- will be heldl in the municipal hall at 11 a.m. While it is an all new council Reeve Trench and cOuncillors- Neal and Middleton have had: previous coun- cil experience.
