At intervals four loads were disposed of for over $100 and the money used to send $4 Xmas boxes to our 14 ex-students at that time overseas, and more recently $1 car- tons of cigarettes to 22 ex-students overseas in June 194-2. Requests for a l‘OC. contribution from each stu- dent to the Russian Relief Fund and- to the Chinese Relief Fund were met -by forwarding $18 or salvage money to each instead of collecting cash. At the Xmas “Lit” meeting no gifts were exchanged, as the time- honoured custom is, but the money that would have bought them was collected for ‘the War Effort. Pro- fits from the February skating party were used for the same pur- pose. The school Red‘ Cross put on a tag day for the Navy League and realized near-l3r $60 for that worthy cause. Local doctors and nurses gave the instruction in the Red Cross home nursing course. Fifty-three school girls completed the course successfully and have been granted official diplomas. Sewing and knitt- ing, with supervision by teachers, was done after school and at home using materials supplied by the local Red. Cross and machines kindly loanz ed by ladies of the village. All to- gether 34'5 garments were made and turned over to the Senior Red Cross for distribution. Members of the War Effort com- mittee wish to thank the student body and the public for the willing help that made these undertakings possible. May their successors, next year, enjoy the same support and carry on with more and greater War Effort projects. (Sgd.) Isabelle Orr, Pres. Marion Bowyer, Treas. Sidney Lepard, Salvage Mgr. While experiments have been car- ried out with steel and concrete as railway crossties, wood continues to furnish the standard» method of se- curing rails to the ground. The num- ber of ties per mile of track on the Canadian National Railways rises to 3250 on heavy traffic main line, each 39 foot rail requiring 24 crossties. In an average year the railways of Canada and the United States in- stall about 60,000,000 crossties. A loan of $50 from the Lions’ Club was used to purchase a supply of War Savings Stamps for sale to students and to the public. Pro- ceeds from the sale of salvage pro- vided the 16th and last stamp to complete a student’s book. Stamp sales took place weekly on Tuesday mornings and were so successful that, during the year, 100 free stamps were required for students’ completed books and the $50 loan was turned over often enough to make up a total of nearly $800 of stamp sales. The loan was repaid with thanks June 1942. MANY CROSSTIES USED BY CANADIAN NATIONAL Immediately after the reâ€"opening of school in Sept. 1941 the War Ef- fort students’ committee was form- ed and a school branch of the Junior Red Cross was organized. $800.

A meeting of the Richmond Hill War Finance Committee will be held in the office of J. R. Herrington, Yonge Street, next Tuesday evening at 8 pm. All the booths and games were well patronized and while it is impossible yet to estimate the net proceeds of the night it is estimated that the profits will be the largest of any year in the history of the street SUMMER COURSE STUDY IN PICTURESQUE TOWN At any time Trois Pistoles is an interesting community but in sum- mer it dons its Master’s cap and be- comes a seat of learning. During the holiday months the annual sum- mer school for the study of the French language established eleven years ago by Western University, of London, Ontario, functions with a large number of pupils, many of whom come from points in the Unit- ed States. Quite apart from that, Trois Pistoles is a pleasant vaca- tion community on the main line of the Canadian National Railways, 142 miles east of Levis. It is also atâ€" tractive to artists who find a wealth of material in the ancient settle- ment. Like “Daisy" the “Davies Beauty Doll", dressed in one dollar bills, proved a successful vvorker for the lions’ Fund, and the total receipts from the sale of lucky number tic- kets amounted to $137.36. The win- ner of the doll was little MiSS Muriel Blobyk, who is a proud girl this morning showing it to all her friends. The doH, dressed in ten one doHar bills was donated to the Lions by Mr. William Davies, who also was responsible for the sale of tickets prior to the dance and turned in over $100. In addition to donating the doll, and making such a fine job of ticket selling. Mr. Davies added 25c. to the fund for every danrs “Knth of tmkets bought on the don by those not members of the Lions’ Club. This added another $4.50 to the fund. TRAVELLERS BY RAILWAY ARE PARTIAL TO BEEF As part of the requirements for the 2,369,000 meals served on Can- adian National Railways dining cars during a year, 775,000 pounds of meat were requisitioned. Of this total beef in the form of loins, ribs and other cuts represented 360,000 pounds. Other meats cooked in din- ing and cafe car kitchens totalled #15300 pounds, headed by chicken which contributed 135,000 pounds of that total. Breakfast bacon obtain- ed from supplies available after ov- erseas requirements had been filled was served to the extent of 80,000 pounds with ham 3. close second at 75,000 pounds. “Daisy", the patriotic Holstein, lucky prize in a draw which featured Richmond Hill Lions’ Club annual dance Wednesday evening was won by Dr. E. J. Henderson, Aurora den- tist, with ticket number 1599. “Daisy” and her four weeks old heif- er calf were the centre of attrac- tion at the dance and sale of tickets on the cow which was donated to the Lions‘ Club by Len. H. Clement Of Richmond Hill amounted to $7211 This (Thursday) morning before seven am. Mr. Clement, the donor of the cow called on Dr. Henderson to make good his offer of $100 in cash if the winner didn’t want to keep a cow. The Doctor accepted his offer and immediately made a donation of $10 to the Lions’ Club funds. Once again the owner of “Daisy", Mr. Clement, took her to market where she will. go to the highest bidder and all she brings over the $100 will be given back to the Lions’ British Child War Vic- tims“ Ffimd. RICHMOND HUJL, ONTARIO THURSDAY, AUGUST 13th, 1942.

LOCAL COMMANDOS DOING GOOD W03.“ Richmond Hill “commandos" haw been busy during the past week an- swering the call for harvest help from the farmers of the district. About twenty-five local “townsfolk” have taken a turn in the hay and harvest fields and a check-up this morning revealed that to date about Q00 acres has' been “stocked" in ad- dition to haying and threshing oper- ations. This help, very much appre- ciated by farmers who with heavy crops are finding it almost imposs- i‘ble to get help, is continuing and gangs are being organized for Fri- day evening and Saturday afternoon. More help is needed, and all who can :help are asked to dontact O'lerk Russell Lynett, phone 29. These “harvesting festivals” are outings which give real help to the farmers and genuine satisfaction to those who take part in them. Enlist today as a “commando” for the harvest. A committee of men and women have been working steadily for the past week in preparation for the pic- nic to be held in Riverdale Park, T04 ronto, on Thursday, August 20.

The refreshment booth sold over 300 pounds of hot dogs, in addiâ€" tion to sandwiches, coffee, hot choco- late, soft drinks, etc. For the eleventh consecutive year “Russ" Creighton and his band sup- plied the music for dancing and de- lighted the great crowd with a fine performance. Sally Miller, Radio’s personality girl vocalist, was very popular with the crowd! and her many numbers were much enjoyed. Miss Toronto and MiSS War Work- er visited the Carnival during the evening on behalf of the War Fin- ance Committee and were introduced to the crowd by J. A. Greene. The beauty contest winners were the centre of much interest and they as- sisted local “Miss Canadas” in the sale of War Savings Stamps, which were offered to the public in at- tractive buttonhole corsa‘ge designs: The weather was ideal, the crowd the largest in years and the profits handsome all combining to make the event very successful and satisfac- tory. The Lions’ Club are deeply grateful to the people of the dis- trict for their magnificent support of the project, and thank all who patronized the event, helped in manning the games, booths and gates, or in any way helped make it the success that it was. Especial thanks are extended to L. H. Cle- ment, the donor of “Daisy", and William Davies, the donor of the doll. Their generosity and fine tic- ket selling job made a very substan- tial contribution to a very worthy cause. With The Veterans Three Brothers Serve In R.C.A.F.
