Angus Macdonald confirmed, in the House of Commons this week, statements in the House Friday by J .S. Roy (Ind., Gaspe) that three ships out of a United Nations con- voy had been «sunk recently in the gulf of St. Lawrence. He said four crew men were killed, four were reâ€" ported missing and 99 saved. LADIES’ DODGE WON PRIZE Victoria L.0.L. and Empire L.0. B.A. attended the celebration of the ‘2'52nd anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne in Woodbridge on Saturâ€" day, July 11th. For the 3rd year in succession Empire Lodge won the prize for the best appearing Iadies’ lodge on parade. At the. last meeting of RFchmond Hill council a resolution by Coun- cillors Bill Neal and Wes Middleton was placed on the books pr0viding that a deposit of ten dollars must be made by the ratepayer concerned before the municipality starts any work on private drains. It is pro- vided in the resolution that should circumstances warrant the deposit may be returned. In moving the resolution Councillor Neal said that in the past the council had fixed private drains for ratepayers who claimed the municipality was at fault, but when the trouble was found the municipality had no re- sponsibility in the matter at all. In such cases the $10 deposit would be a guarantee that the municipality would not be out of pocket. Reeve Trench opposed the motion as he said every case should be treated on its merits, and that by placing such a ‘resolution on the books the coun- cil was only inviting people to take their private drain troubles to the council.

MILL STREET RESIDENCE SOLD R. H. Kane reports the sale of Ivan Mark property on Mill St. to Miss Stewart, Toronto. Prisoners of war in Germany and other axis countries receive their Weekly parcels, without doubt stated Mrs. Arthur Ellis, guest speaker at the Markham Township Red Cross Rally at Unionville. Mrs. Ellis, president-elect of the Ontario Divi- sion of the C.R.iC.S. and Command- ant of the Ontario Women’s Corps, spoke with goods authorit’y. She ex- plained how these parcels are de- livered and the constant check that is made to see that they reach their destination in good condition, and get into the proper hands. The pris- oners need the extra nourishment provided by these boxes, as prison fare is inadequate. The problem of supplying the boxes is a constantly growing one, as the number of pris- oners increases. No organization could perform this important work with the same efficiency as the Red Cross, which is highly respected by the Germans, the speaker stated. A letter was read. at the last meeting of the Richmond Hill Mun- icipal Council from W W. A. Trench. secretary of the local Salvage Com- mittee asking the Municipality to turn over the gun which stands in front of the War Memorial for sal- vage. The clerk was instructed to inform the committee that the mun- icipality several months ago had turned the gun over to the local Vet- erans organization for similar pur- pose and suggested that inasmuch as the gun is still in its usual place the salvage committee confer with the Veterans. There have been op- posing views expressed regarding the proposal to turn the gun in for salvage. There are those who favor such a move and those who contend that the value of the material sal- vaged would be very small in com- parison to the real value of the gun as a'memorial of the last war.

FOOT HURT IN CHOPPER, CONDITION IS SERIOUS Leslie Preston, a Vandorf farmer, lies in serious condition at York County Hospital, at Newmarket, as the result of an accident on his farm on Monday. GOOD CROP ON THE MARSH At the present time the prospect for a bountiful harvest on the H01- land Marsh gardens appears to be almost a certainty. While crops are not expected to be so iarge as last year, probably little more than two- thirds of last year's yield, the Marsh growers say there will be no com- plaints from them 11 prices are as good as in 1941. Last year was the growers’ big year â€" huge crops and high prices. Surviving are three daughters - Mrs. J. H. Follett, Miss Grace Bon- nick and Mrs. C. B. Gibson, all of Toronto, and two sons, E. A. Bon- nick, of ‘Oakridges, Ont, and Lieutâ€" ‘001. H. P. Bonnick, on active service in England; also eight grandchild- r-en, among whom is R. C. Gibson, pilot in the RAF serving in Egypt, and one great-grandson, Richard J. Follett. The late Mr. Bonnick came to To- ronto when very young and lived there throughout his lifetime. He was for many years a well known business man of the city and for some twenty years was manager of the Ames Holden Shoe Company. He was extremely active all his life with numerous hobbies up till a month ago. Mr. Bonnick was a life member of St. Andrew’s Masonic Lodge, a member of Lawrence Park Bowling Club, a one-time Sunday School superintendent of St. Paul’s Avenue Road United Church and lat- er active in St. George’s United Church. He celebrated his 55th wedding an- niversary before the death of his wife in 1934. The death occurred in Toronto last Fri-day of Charles Bonnick, age 86 years, father of E. A. B-onnick, Oak Ridges. The funeral was held Mon- day from his late residence, 186 Blythewood Road, and interment fol- lowed at Mount Pleasant Cemetery. Townspeople with some spare time can be a great help to the far- mers, and Reeve Trench and the clerk have lined up a considerable number who are willing to help and many more are expected to volun- teer this week. With a pitchfork for an emblem and “blisters for Bri- tain" as their motto these business and professional men and retired folk are enthusiastic in this latest war work and look for many more to enlist. These men do not expect to accomplish as much as experi- enced farmers but then every bit of assistance no matter how little is greatly appreciated by those who are laboring hard and long to keep farms in production. The farmers are not expecting these “commando” volunteers to do the real hard jobs. Help the farmers save the crops is the aim of Richmond Hill coun- cil in urging co-operation of citizens of the district in solving the help shortage problem in the farming community. The council has asked farmers in the district who need help to get in touch with Richmond Hill Municipal Clerk, Russell Lynett, phone Richmond Hill 29. They also ask that anyone available to help on the farm register at the same place. In this way they hope to bring together those in need of help and those able and willing to lend a. hand.

LATE CHARLES BONNICK Alâ€"l Citizens Who Can Help Are Asked To Enroll With Richmond Hill Clerk â€" Farmers Are Asked To Make Needs Known To Same Official OBITUA RY -Many of life’s richest blessings come to us in disguise. The office of Vi'nage clerk and treasurer Russell 'Lynet’c has been redecorated and presents a much improved appearance. The work was done by Harold Weese at a cest of $40. CLERK’S OFFICE REDECORATED At the last meeting of the Rich- mond Hill Municipal Council it was decided to hold a tax sale this fall. Some eight property owners were notified that their property is liable for sale for taxes. HEADFORD Melvin Wellman suffered painful injuries Wednesday when the team of horses ran away and he was dragged a considerable distance. Fortunate- ly no bones are broken but 'he re- ceived a bad shaking up and will be in bed for a few days. Present indications are that street lighting will be curtailed this com- ing winter to save electric energy for war industries. This was the advice of the Hydro Electric Com; mission to a village request for two new lights on Vaughan Road. While there are no lights at all on this street it is doubtful whether any can be secured until after the war. Richmond Hill’s new well will be the source of the municipal water supply in about two months accord- ing to local municipal officials who conferred today With engineers and representatives of the International Water Supply Company. The new well on Centre Street east has stood up under every test during the past week and officials are satisfied that they have located an abundant sup- ply which will meet village needs for many years to come. Best of all the water is of exceedingly fine qual- ity, clear, cold and pleasing to the taste. It will take about two months to install pumping equipment. ~ Lucky number ticket No. 1860 of the King City Street Dance which was one of the prize winners has not yet been presented. The holder of this ticket is entitled to a cash prize and should apply at once to Arthur Welle‘sley, secretary or C. E. Walkington, president, King City. Farmers who can do with this kind of help are asked to phone Clerk Lynett at Richmond Hill '29, and if possible to phone as far in advance as possible as it sometimes takes time to organize the expeditions. Business men, clerks, factory em- ployees, retired farmers, boys, and all willing to help in this time of emergency are asked to register as quickly as possible with the town clerk. NEW’ “'ELL STANDS UP UNDER ALL TESTS All over Ontario this coâ€"operative campaign is under way and is meet- ing with marked success. In many communities it is sponsored by the Service Club, Rotary, Lions or Ki- wanis, and in others by the Mun- icipal Councils of Towns and Town- ships. It is expected to continue for the duration. Many farms in this district are operating with less reg- ular help than usual and find it very difficult to secure casual labour. Haying is nearing completion, but harvest is just starting. Fall wheat cutting started throughout the County this week, and there is lots of work on the farms which the “commandos” can do. In some places they have taken over the hoeing for the hard pressed farmers. They can however be a hig help by relieving the farmer of the time- devouring lighter tasks so that they will have all their time to apply to those jobs in which experience and skill are most essential. PRIZE UNCLAIMED AT KING STREET UIGHTING TO BE CURTAILED TO HAVE TAX SALE Don’t forget the ball game on Saturday evening, July 18th and soâ€" cial time afterwards in the hall.
