Mr. and Mrs. Lawson who were lifelong residents of the King comâ€" munity richly merited the tribute of their friends who gathered at their home to express appreciation of their friendship and wish them happiness in their new home. There were over sixty-five in the gathering and the honored couple received a beautiful bevelled oval mirror and presentation address, with Aubrey Campbell and Norman McMurchy doing the honms. ‘Mr. and Mrs. Lawson graciously acâ€" knowledged the presentation and ex- pression of good will and good wishes. The address read at the presenta- tion was as follows: Mr. and Mrs. Lawson: There is an unwritten law ._1hat a friend always finds a friend and no matter what the circumstances. there is a time and place to cheer. to con- gratulate or console, to welcome or to bid farewell. In the span of life there surely is no greater ioy than the treasure of friendship which out- lives life itself and passes on to others a wealth of love and under- standing. This occasion affords your many associates the upDOrtunity of expressing the regard of friends and neighbours, felt for you. Mr. and Mrs. Lawson, as worthv citizens and trustworthy friends, since you are about to widen the space between us but a short distance. Mr. and Mrs. John S. Lawson, now of Richmond Hill, formerly of King were tendered a farewell party and presentation last Thursday by friends and neighbors prior to their moving to their new home here. Mr. and Mrs. Lawson have taken up resiâ€" dence on Markham Road, Rich::.ond Hill. Mr. And Mrs. Lawson Honored By Friends Of King Community Presentation To Couple Now Resi- dents of Richmond Hill You and your family have always stood for the principles of truth and honour. You have been co-rworkets for the betterment of our social and community life. Your influence and example has been outstanding and will continue to manifest itself in the lives of others even though you abide elsewhere. We deem it a privilege 'to meet with you here tonight in the sacred hallowedness of the “old home" and to present you with this mirror as a token, a link in the long chain of our affections, and to bid you fare- well but not goodâ€"bye. May God’s riéhest Bxessing go with you and keep vou in health, strength and comfort alway." Mr. and Mrs. A. C. White. Mill Street, this week received word from the Department of National Defence that their son Sgt. Ernie White who was serving with the R.‘C.A.F. is now listed as “presumed dead“. The com- munication said that so long a time had elapsed since he was reported “missing” they now would have to report him as presumed lost. How- ever despite this official announco- ment which is made in keening with National Defence regulations the members of the family are still hope- ful that better news will sometime be forthcoming and that their son will be found alive. Ernie. 22 years of age. went overseas with the R.C.A.F. in January 1942 and was reported “missing” after air operations last July 28th. SGT. ERNIE \VHTTE NOW REPORTED “PRESUMED DEAD?

Arbor Day so named as a day set apart for tree planting, was popularly ob- served in the good old days when members of the. 1943 council were boys, and they think it was an ob- servance which should be revived. The use of Arbor Day expanded from just tree planting to a general cleanâ€" up and beautification and that's ex- actly what Reeve Greene and the members of council want on Friday, lMay 14th. In more recent years Arbor Day has not been so generally observed, but Richmond Hill coun- cillors think that this was a loss to the community and its observance ‘should be revived not only here but everywhere. RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO THURSDAY, MAY 6th, 1943. The council is anxious to have a clean, tidy, attractive village. The local authorities are taking the lead and will make a general clean up of streets, ditch-es “and roadways, and the appeal is to the citizens to carry the campaign into the gardens, Lawns and boulevards. Clo-operative and enthusiastic action by all our people can do much to make the village more attractive, and that’s just what the municipal council is asking for. The co-operation of Lions Club‘, Wo- men’s Institute, Boy Scouts, Cubs, Girl Guides and all organizations in the village will be solicited. and it is hoped that a revival of this gen- eral clean-up day will result in mak- ing Richmond Hill a more beautiful place to call our home. The observance oi Arbor Day, the repair of village streets, and many other items of business were con- sideled at the regular meeting of council Monday night. Reeve J. A. Greene presided and all the mem- bers attended. The council decided to proclaim Monday. May 24th a Civic Holiday for Richmond Hill this year. Vic- toria Day, due to wartime regula- tions, is no longer being observed as a national holiday, but as this is Fair Say in Richmond Hill the coun- ('il felt that it should be a general holiday. It has been proclaimed 3 Civic Holiday in Toronto. Councillors drew attention to many complaints of dogs running at large, and the Constable was instructed to strictly enfouce the by-law which pro- v‘d'es dogs must be tied up after May lst. Insurance on the Village fire truck was increased to $10100. It was decided on motion of Coun- cillors Little and Bales to purchase $2000 in Victory Bonds from the re- serve account of the local Hydro. Purchase of bonds from the general account was laid over pending ad- vice from lthe Department of Mun- icipal affairs. The practice of many household- ers of dumping- their ashes on the roadways was discussed and the clerk authorized to prepare a by-law to make such a practice illegal. A by-law will be prepared also to govâ€" ern parking. The practice of trucks parking on sidewalks while loading or unloading will be prohibited and parking near intersections will be out under the proposed regulations. The utilizing of the new water supply was discussed at length and arrangements made for the installa- tion of the equipment necessary. The new well on Centre St. East has been given rigid tests this spring and has been given the O.K. by the engineers. It is assured that the well will supply more than the needs of the local water-users and the quality of the water is excellent. It is hoped to have it flowing in the mains for general use in the very near future. When this is accompâ€" lished Richmond Hill will have a water sup-ply second in quality to none in Ontario. A by-law: Was passéd completing the sale of a lot on Benson Ave. to MrtJohthaVrvis aj: a price of $160. Due to wartime demands oil is not available for village streets this year. However many of the streets are in excellent condition from prevâ€" ious years and it is not likely they will create any dust nuisance. On other streets and sections of streets where the dust is likely to be a nuis- ance calcium chloride will be used. It cannot be used however on streets which have a hard surface, as before the application such streets would have to be scarified. Councillor R. Paris, chairman of the Parks and Buildings committee was instructed to have the skating arena painted, and an effort will be made to have the Job done before May 24th. Improvements to the curling rink building were discussed but no action taken. It was ques- tioned Whether in such strenuous war days any but the most necess- ary repair work should be undertaken. Day Set Apart For Community Clean-upâ€"May 24 Declared Civic Holiday Loan Sales Near Half Objective Nine Days To Go Canada’s Fourth Victory Loan Drive is progressing very favorably throughout all Canada, and North York is working steadily toward Lho objective of $2,160,000. Sales up to Wednesday night in North York a- mounted to over $1,000,000, a little short of half the objective with half; annuv v- ......- w». v..‘,_V., of the campaign time elapsed. If we are to reach the goal set, returns for the last half of the drive will have to be just a little better than in the first half. Richmond Hill 1s a little short of the half-way mark of its $100,000 objective, and Mark- ham Township is about $25,000 near- er to its goal of $270,000 than the neighbouring township .of Vaughan. Victory Loan committee . workers and salesmen are confident that dur- ing the last half of the campaign the people of North York will rally and put "the County well over its objective. The fine spirit of the great majority of the people in buv- ing‘ to the very limit is heartening to those who have this big job in hand. On the other hand the odd case is encountered where the sub- scriptions, are _disa.prpointing. In all Canada the loan is running conside ably ahead of the last. one on com arative days. Up to Wed- nesday the national campaign total was $503,986,100 compared with $414,588,900 in the same period in the last Victory Loan. The display windows throughout North York in support of the Loan which feature photos of local boys in the armed forces sums up the ap- neal of this National undertaking. The boys in the armed forces have offered everything in this war.... they Awill not fail us....1et us not Fin'é Response To Appeal For Blind failv them The Canadian National Institutel for the Blind TagvDay helc lest Sat- urday was most successful the total mm received through the homes and other donations amounting ’cngZOlflT.

SOO'I'I‘, Prinapal OBITUARY Family’s Loss By Fire Touches The Community Heart Deeply touched by the hard luck of Mr. and Mrs. Caffin, Elgin Mills sideroad, who lost their house and all its contents as well as their green- house and spring crop in a recent disastrous fire, the people of the community have responded most gen- erously to an appeal on their be- half. A subscription list organized by Mr. Murray McLean and Mr. Ralph Wideman now totals about 319-00. In addition there have been many donations of furniture, tools, bedding and household gt 'ids of all kinds. Recent community gatherings were held at the home of Mr. Murâ€" ray McLean and at the home of Mr. Albert Rice when Mr. and Mrs. Caffin were showered with many use- ful gifts and donations. The re- sponse to the appeal on behalf of the family speaks well for the fine sym- pathetic and generous spirit of the people of the district and as well is a tribute to Mr. and Mrs. Caffin whose industry and good christian sitizenship has commended them to the people of the community in which they live. The subscription list still is open and donations may be given to Mr. MdLean or Mr. Wideman or may be left at The Liberal Office.
