Mil‘k for the The fund is specially des-ignedt to ‘rend-er relief and assistance to the children of Britain who are victims of the Nazi bombings. Observers have related that possibly the most pitiful of all the sad features of the bomlbing of Britain has been the suffering of the little dgfience‘less children. Maimed, shell shoeked, orphaned and homeless as a result of Hitler’s cruel warfare on the British Isles these children are cared for in hospitals and homes by the Lions’ Fund. The Lions’ British Child War Vic- tims' Fund which will so materialbr benefit from last night’s event is one which is supported by all Lions Clubs in Canada and‘ many in the United States. Every cent donated to the fund is sent direct to Britain, all administration charges and ex- penses being taken care of by the Lions Clubs. In the Old Land‘ it is administered by a volunteer com- mittee headed by Her Majesty the Queen. President R. D. Little on behalf of the Lions wishes to take this- op- ‘portunity of expressing thanks to 'Mr. George McN’air who donated) the horse to the British Child; War Vic- ‘tims’ Fund, to all who helped' with the work of the evening, to the mer- hhants who co-operated by closing Itheir places of business, and to all the people who so generously pat- monized the games and booths. . Receipts for the big night have not been completely check-ed so we are not able to state the amount realized on Vi‘ctory or from the dance but it will :be a substantial] amount and the Lions are very well please-d with the result of the even- mg. ‘ Miss Toronto of 1941 won the hearts of the great crowd and was given a rousing reception.

Favored with fair, though cool weather, Richmond Hill Lions’ Club Street Dance attracted a large crowd Wednesday evening and a "large sum was realized for the Lions’ British Child War Victims‘ Fund and the welfare work of the organization. Russ Creighton ‘ and ‘his orchestra delighted the large crowd with music for modern and old time dancing and the variety of gamers in the midway did a rushing business. Refreshment booths with hot dogs, sandwich-es, soft drinks, coffee and confectionery were well patronized and the business in this department was much increased over other years due to the co-op- eration of local eating places in closing for the evening. Keen interest centred around Vic- tory, the Lion Horseyanld sitting in state in a truck at the south end of the dance enclosure he was the centre of all eyes.

According to Mrs. Mary Trofemchuk, Ukranian, a resident of the Carl'- vili‘e district since early this sumâ€" mer the man came to the door and threatened to take her life. Police are investigating the case. Bert Sherman of Aurora, formerly of Richmond Hillvl'aippeared in New- manket Police Court Tuesday charg- ed with theft of $40 from the office of Dr. W. S. Mason, Richmond Hill last March, and- on a charge of forg- ery. He was remanded for a week. Sgt. S. A. Barraclough has been in- vestigating the case. There were three calves, last year’s crops and a large part of 'this year's harvest in the barn, which was destroyed before anything could be removed from it. FACES CHARGE OF‘ THEFT AND FORGERY The fire spread from the barn to the grass and ran for more than 3'0 rods into the adjoining farm before it could be checked. After a two-hour fight, the Au- rora Fire Brigade saved the house and driving shed1 on the property. In aiding in fighting the fire, Roth- well suffered serious burns about his face and arms. Friction from a belt on the thresh- ing machine operating at Fennel Rothwell’s farm on the Third Conâ€" cession of King township was blam- ed for the disastrous $12,000 fire that swept through the barn, Out- buildings and’ fields last Friday. Fennel Rmhweil Suffers Severe Loss North Yonge Radials continue to pile up operating profits and it is now assured that the line will this year for the first time since pur- chased by the municipalities of Rich- mond Hill, Vaughan, Markham and North York pay all operating ex- penses and debenture charges. The report from the T.T.C. on the oper- ation of the line for the second' quarter of the current year shewed' an operating profit of $3¢013.81, an’ increase of $2623.21 over the same' period in 1940. Of this amountI Richmond Hill received a cheque for $693.17, Vaughan $331.52, Markham 8331152 and North York $1,657.60. Passenger revenue for the three month period was $22,687.63 com- pared with' $18,693.86 last year. In June alone the passenger revenue increased over June of last year by $1,079.54. 21 jump of 16.88 per cent. The improved showing of the line is attributed to improved employ- ment conditions and the growth of the district served. Hundreds of new homes have been built in the transportation area during the past two years. The campaign to con- serve gasoline is likely to further popularize traffic on the radial line.

The old friends and neighbours of the 5th line were very sorry to hear of the death of a kind and helpful neighbour last week, Mr. Albert Lehman. of Stouffville. who for years farmed the places now occupied by Mr. Valliere and Mr. Evans. As years rolled by he found farming too heavy work but yet refused to be idle and so learned the trade of harness maker and for several years past spent his days in his shop on main street, Stouf-fville, working busily away yet always had time for a friendly chat and thereby won for himself a. host of friends. The fun- eral was held on Wednesday of last week with a short service in the house, then the remains moved to the Baptist church for public ser- vice. The interment took place at Pine Orchard cemetery. He leaves to mourn a. loving wife, one brother and a number of nephews and nieces.

One item she stressed was a St. John’s First Aid Course, some- thing our own local doctors could help us with.

Mr. and Mrs. Herb Nelson received an occa- sional chair and! side table, while Mr. and Mrs. Jim Smith were pre- sented with a reading table and table lamps. Both couples thanked those present for the gifts, and in- vited: them to visit them whenever possible.
