BOWLING NOTES 1b C‘I‘t Richmond Hill: Lions plan to wrel- come a record crowd at the annual Street Dance to be held here next Wednesday evening. Never before has there been so much interest and» enthusiasm in evidence and) it is an- ticipated that a. record sum will be raised for the Lionxs’ British Child War Victims’ Fund and the other welfare and war work of the local service cluvb. Russ Creighton who will have charge of the music and vaudeville numbers promises a program which will be the best heard here, and, the midway will be bigger and better than ever. The committee is awaiting a rul- in-g from the Wartime Prices and‘ ’Ilrade Board about the serving of tea and coffee, But if a favorable ruling is mot obtained it is planned to serve hot chocolate milk. “Daisy" the patriotic cow is gett- ing excited about the prospects of attending the dance. She will be there in person along with Daisy Jr.- and promises to be a centre of in- terest. A boudoir is now being spe- cially built for her andl it will be located near the dance floor. There has been a big demand for tickets, which are still available and will be on sale right up to 11 p.m. on the night of the Street Dance. ' Richmond Hill council in regular. 'session Monday evening instructed’ the village engineers to call for ten- ders for the construction of a pump house at the site. of the new well. The pumlp house will be size ten by fourteen feet and will be of con- crete and steel construction. Davies’ Beauty Doll is giving “Daisy” a close run- in raising dvol- lars for the British Child War Vic- tims. Mr. Davies, the donor of the doll dressed up in crisp new one dollar bills is vvorking hard on the project and now has a standing offd er to throw a quarter in the pot for the War Victims every time a- customer buys a dollars worth of- tickets. The only stipulation is that. this offer does not include Lions’ Club members, but every time any-' one, not a member of the Li'ons’ Club buys a dollars worth of tickets, Mr; Davies adds a donation of 215 cents. What’s more he hopes he’ll have to pay up often. So come on folks; here’s your chance to give a dollar to a worthy cause and see it imme- diately increase to $125. COUNCIL WAITS PRIORITY ORDER FOR WATER MAIN A11 draws in connection with the Street Dance have a stipulation that n6 prizes may be won by members of the Lions‘ Club or members of their immediate family. The council members are battling with the problem of securing ma- terial for pump installation at the well as it is necessary to get prior- ity orders for most of the material and equipment. Members arehope- ful the necessary orders will be forthcoming shortly which will en- able the council to go ahead and' utilize the new water supply. At Monday night’s meeting Councillor Middleton was somewhat critical of the delay in getting the well in op- eration. He felt the council should be more aggressive in securing pri- ority orders and expressed impa- tience at the delay. Tenders have been called for the digging and lay- ing of the water main, but letting of the contract was held up until assurance is received that the ma- terial can be obtained. Difficulty in Obtaining Material Holds Up Development of New \Vell In All Things, Charity”. Someone with more muscle than, brains broke into the storeroom dur- ing the week-end and- from the way the old tires and inner tubes were thrown about evidently hoped to find a. tire or a tube that might be of use. However the tires and tubes were so badly wrecked that the in- truders had their efforts without success. Next collection date Monday, Au‘ gust 10. Ten pounds of fat make about 2%, pounds of glycerine, and 8610 pounds of glycerine make one ton of nitro- glycerine. It takes about three pounds of nitroglycerine to make four pounds of dynamite. Two pounds of waste fat furnish enough glycerine to fire five anti- tank shells. Tha’c’s why collecting grease from the kitchen puts it out of the frying pan into the firing line. The shortest session on record of Vaughan Township council was held Tuesday afternoon with Reeve R. W. Scott presiding and all members present. Only routine business was transacted and council adjourned at an early hour to resume work in the harvest fields.
