During the past season a series of preliminary debates were held and in the finals held Monday evening at Gbeibe Church, Toronto, the finalists were Richmond Hill and St. John‘s Church of Toronto.

The new store name will be “Mor- ley‘ls”. The new proprietor, Morley Hall, is well and! favorably known in Richmond Hill and! throughout the district, and! he is known as a good store-keeper and‘ a “good fellow”. His many friends welcome him bauk to Richmond Hill and The Lilbeml joins with them in wishing him every success. The Sikeele business which has been so closely associated! with Rich- mond Hill for almost a century was established! by Andrew L. Skeele who came here in 18515 in company with Captain Patterson, «brother of Peter Patterson, the father of John D. Patterson so well: known as the founder of Don Head! Farms. About a year later, in 1856 he openedl a store on the site of the present business and conducted a watch re- Ipair and jewelry business. The pre- sent store was built in 1879 and a- bout 1890 groceries, flour, feed and provisions were added to the mer- chandise sold. Amd‘rre'w L. Sk‘eele died in 1907 and for four years Clarence A. Skeele conducted the business while continuing his' duties as bookkeeper at the Newton Tann- ery at Elgim‘ Mills. In 1911 he com~ memed devoting his entire time to the store and built up a flourishing and] successqu business which he carried on until his death. Since the passing of C. A. Sk-eele the busi- ness has been carried on by his bro- ther James Slkeele. . i Richlmondj Hill’s oldesrt established business changed‘ hands this week. The store which for the past eighty- six years has been in the SSkeel-e name was taken over by Morley Hall, who for many years was .ma‘n- agea' of Dominion iStores' here. Mr. Hallrl took over the store Monday but is making extensive alterations and] while the store is now open for business the official opening is planned for Thursday next, May 2-1. It is planned' to modernize the store which when completed! will be one of the most up-toâ€"date in the dis- RICHMOND HILL DEBATERS WIN CHAMPIONSHIP C. A.

Edgeley Jersey Wins Silver Medal The cammittee in charge of the canvass ask that any citizens who have been missed“, send their dona- tions in as soon as possible. The need is great, and] if the objective is to be reached: everyone must help. “Almost everyone gave something and nearly all had but one regretâ€" that they couldn't five more,” re- port-ed another volunteer canvasser. Many asked if the objective was not reached that the collector call Iback and! they would try andl give more. That’s the spirit everywhere evident, and' that’s the spirit that is going to put Richmond Hill‘ over the top in the drive for $2700. Canlvass‘ers report cheerful and ready support for the appeal. “The work of the Red] Cross particularly the very practical aid extended} to victims in 'bomlbed: areas in Britain and the sending of "boxes and sup- plies to prisoners of war makes a strong appeal to the generosity of everyone," reported one canvasser who said the work of collecting 'for such a worthy cause was easy angil a real pleasure and privilege.
