James McDonald, Vaughan town- ship clerk, stated that from reports received by his office pheasants are more plentiful this year than any other. “We have had reports of sev- eral farmers having had to stop their cars along sideroads to avoid hitting families of pheasants mean- dering peacefully along.” Report Wild Birds “More Plentiful This Year Than Any Other” More than 300 pheasants were re- leased in Vaughan township during the week~end by D. G. Sutherland, game warden for Peel county. Along with Township Constables George DeFerrari and Sam Ireland, Mr. Sutherland drove along country roads and released crates contain- ing a mixed variety of pheasants. Some time in the early hours of Wednesday thieves entered the D0- minion- Store, Richmond Hill, and stole $499 in cash. Entry was made by forcing a small rear window, and apparently the only interest of the thieves was money. That they were not professionals is evidenced by the fact they left $25 in silver untouch- ed. They apparently nad a dislike for American money as a United States $1.00 was also left behind. Police under the direction of Sgt. S. A. Barraclough of the County Police are investigating and are working on some clues which it is hoped will lead to the offenders. {hieves Break In Yonge Street Store And Steal $49 Cash Free 300 Pheasants In Vaughan Twp. @1119 mmm Yonge at Castlefield “In Essentials, Unity; In Non-Essentials, I.i'c-1t5.',In' All Things, Charity”.

Yake are other members of the township police. A couple of weeks ago “Daisy” gave birth to a fine heifer calf weighing 100 pounds at birth, and the calf goes with the cow to the holder of the lucky number ticket. The first advertising which stated “Daisy" was due to freshen in Au- gust was in error, as can be veri- fied by her former owner George Street of Newtonbroox whose re- cords show the cow due to freshen in July. Daisy has been T.B. Tested. and Blood Tested‘ and has a 100 per cent. clean bill of health. She is a fine quality cow and will~ be a creditâ€" able addition to any herd.

Lions’ Are Busy Planning Events For Street Dance “DAISY" THE PATRIOTIC HOL- STEIN HAS CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH NE‘V \VHITCH URCH POLICEMAN Mayor Dr. Conboy of Toronto an- nounced this morning that a large number of Toronto civic employees will be released to help the farmers of York County in harvesting of their creps. His Worship the Mayor in making the announcement made it clear to acting Deputy Minister of Agriculture L. E. O’Neil that there would be no remuneration expected from the farmers and that trans- portation would be provided for the men going to the harvest fields. They will leave the City each day at noon and would. be ready to go to work at 1.415 or a p.m. according to the distance from the city. In most cases they would be willing to work until dark and all that will be asked of the farmer is to provide supper for the men. While there are organized tour- naments at the local greens only Monday and Thursday evenings, there is bowling almost every after- noon and evening. Drop down to the green any time and there’s always congenial company ready for a game. The annual tournament for the Mulock Trophy will be held Wed- nesday, August 5th at 2‘ pm. All local bowlers wishing to play please hand their names to the secretary not later than Tuesday evening. Monday evening despite the heavy rain eighteen members were present and the regular games were played. E. T. Stephens’ rink was the victor after playing two extra ends to break a tie with G. Fuller's rink. The winning rink: Mrs. J. Martin, Miss M. Carter and E. T. Stephens .skip. Members of the Agincourt Club will be with us this Thursday even- ing and mix with us in friendly games. Please make a special ef- fort to be on time, 7.45. The “75 year olds” who challenged the world to a game ,of bowls in. last week’s issue have so far had no takers in Canada, and the gas rationing prevents the playing of games with the many acceptances of the challenges received from the United States and South America. However the 7‘5 year olds skipped by Gid Moodie and coached and trained by George Ball still are hopeful of finding a taker in Can-‘ ada. To help things along they will spot any challenging rink ten years, which means they will meet any rink of average age of 65 and. play a game on the local green. The stakes may be fun, marbles or money. Officials in charge of the farm help question expressed delight with the announcement of the Toronto Mayor and, Alex MacLare-n, head of the Employment Service and R. M. Duncan, head of the Agricultural Representatives for Ontario have called a meeting of Agricultural Re- presentatives for tonight to work out the details. This meeting will be attended by York's representa- tive, W. M. Gockbum, who has been most active in trying to help the farm help problem.

Mills Ltd.”, said Mr. Trapp. While purchases in Richmond Hill and throughout all North York have been very gratifying it was pointed out these purchases must be increas- ed if we are to pull our full share in financing Canada’s war effort. The local committee will commence at once a campaign to encourage War Savings, and in the effort ask the co-operation of all citizens. It is hoped that every store and busi- ness place will have stamps for sale and already at least six local busiâ€" ness firms have answered the re- quest sent out by the Central War Finance Committee to co-operate in War Savings sales. Organizer Trapp highly commend- ed the local firm of H. J. Mills Ltd. for their splendid record of War Savings. Thousands of dollars worth of certificates have been purchased by firm employees under‘the gener- ous and patriotic bonus plan inaug- urated by the management whereby a bonus of $1.00 in stamps is given when the employee pledges a like amount from wages. “I don’t think there’s a firm in Canada with a better record of War Savings activ- ity than the Richmond Hill firm of ‘H. J. Mills Ltd.”, said Mr. Trapp. While purchases in Richmond Hill and throughout all North York have The people of North York, which includes all of York County north of Steele’s Corners, purchased War Savings Stamps and Certificates to the amount of $29,000 in the month of June, compared with purchases of $19,000 in June 1941.
