Charity” RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JUNE 20th, 1940. COUNTY COUNCIL URGES WORK FOR ENEMY ALIENS York County Council in session this week urged that interned enemy aliens should be forced to work in labor camps for road construction or some form of development of our natural resources. They also urged the government to compel all natur- alized Italians and Germans to reg- ister with municipal authorities and to report at least once a month. All guns and revolvers found in the homes of these Italians and Germans should be immediately confiscated, in the opinion of‘councillors. STOP TALKING DO SOMETHING SOUND ADVISE Deputyâ€"Reeve George Mitchell, of North York, sponsored a resolution to have both the Federal and pro- vincial governments review the quesâ€" tion of relief recipients’ allowances. It was suggested that the money could either be borrowed and levied against next year’s county tax rate, or could be obtained through a spe- cial one mill levy for war charities. Both these resolutions will be for- warded to the Minister of National Defense and the Prime Minister at once. Attached to them will be a rider that naturalization of all enemy aliens be stopped at once. “We have all talked about what we would like to do to help Canada win the war,” declared Reeve Gar- diner. “Let’s stop talking and let’s do something. The government has made available for us war saving stamps. Let’s launch a buying camâ€" paign for these stamps at once. We have the money and we must spend it if our freedom, our democracy and our Empire is to be saved.” Immediate purchase of $123,000 worth of war savings stamps by York County, as part of its contri- bution toward Canada’s war effort, was urged at York County Council sessions this week. ' Reeve Gardiner called upon York County to take the initiative among counties in purchasing war saving stamps. “Let us start the ball rolling,” he said. “If we can gather $123,000 for a war effort, so can other counties. Within a few days the counties of Ontario could raise millions of dol- lars for the purchase of war equip- ment.” Reeve F. G. MacRae strongly sup- ported the views 6f the reeve of Forâ€" est Hill “We talk about buying tanks and forming rifle clubs,” he said, “but the main issue is raising money. And the best way to raise funds for ade- quate and modern arms of war is through the war stamp scheme.” Council referred the suggestion to the by-laws committee for consider- ation, James D. McLean, president of the Richmond Hill Bowling Club has ex- tended an invitation to members of Richmond Lodge A.F. & A.M. and their ladies to an evening of bowl- ing at the local greens Tuesday, June 2'5th at 7.30 p.m. All Masons and their ladies are invited to atâ€" tend.
