The preser- vation of children is our privilege and blessing, our God given task. hen we reflect on that, we must of ecessity consider such problems as hose of safe conduct for children on eir way to and from school, as a imary civic obligation, and when ie'ir safety depends upon the coin- ruction of nothing more costly than cinder path a few hundred feet or even a mile or so long, setting aside or delaying such construction can bl.- nothing more thanâ€"shall we say giminal? fEPPARD & GILL A column of chat with an occasional item of “phe neWS behind the news” ' written especially for The beeral. “Be Ready With Reddy Power” ’A great many children whose omes are immediately south of Rich- PUBLIC NOTICE closing a por- m of the road allowance lying be- 'ecn the 8th and 9th Concessions .Ka portion of the road allowance ,g between Lots 25 and 26 in Con- non 8 and a portion of the road wance lying between Lots 25 and Concession 9 all in the Town- "of Vaughan in the County of 90‘“ $9: I!" 'HURSDAY, MAY 25th, 1944. RICHMOND HILL PICE IS HEREBY GIVEN hf: Council of _th_e_ Coyporation The Richmond Hill Tattler 6 \6000 53% p.938“ 6!: F/mr NOTICE Clerk and Treésurer‘ .Av Having had an incubator explain- ed to her, and been asked if she fully understood it, she put her head on one side and, with a puzzled look, replied: J The new Land Girl was doing her best, but she was evidently finding‘ everything on the farm very strange.‘ Beaver have never been classed asi fighters except on rare occasions toy guard their home. This particular‘ one is tame enough for Mr. McLach- Ian to touch it as it swims close to the boat. What do our old timers think about it? This particular evening he took the boat upstream to fish when the beav-i ier came out as usual. Meanwhile, the family dog had follohved his mas- ter and was running along the shore barking- furiously. The old male bea- ver was swimming around the boat, and hearing the dog, started in its direction. The dog swam out to meet him. When they met the beaver gave the dog a slap with his tail. What followed could not be seen for flying water. However, the dog returned to the attack only to receive another slap. Mr. MoLachlan thought the combat might end disastroust for either animal, and he ordered the dog ashore. The beaver then swam back to the vicinity of the boat as if no- thing had happened. From Durham comes the news that James A. McLachlan saw something most unusual on the Rocky Saugeen river 300 yards upstream from the dam at Aberdeen. He reports that an old male beaver from a colony nearby attacked his dog. The beaver had become accustomed to see‘ng McL-achlan in his boat and often came quite close to.swim around it with no apparent fear. Many Richmond Hill and Markham folks will remember Stephen Hughes who lived and worked among them a ‘few years ago. Stephen joined the lactive Canadian army, went overseas and became a corporal. He was giv-i en up for dead last October, but since‘ then it has developed that be war not killed but was taken prisoner, and the manner of his capture was somewhat unusual. Stephen went ahead of his company on the instruc- tions of his officers, and came to a house that stood near the battlefield. He thought it was occupied by Brit- ish or possibly fellow Canadian troops and knocked on the door. It was opened, however, by a German soldier who challenged him. Hughes replied with rifle bullets, but failed to notice a machine gun nest some distance away. The machine gun opened fire and he was disabled and taken prisoner. “Yesâ€"hut where does the hen sit.” It might be said that the parents should re-voice their request to the department, but can it not be said with equal merit that an obligation rests on the councils of the town- ships of Vaughan and Markham where the children reside to use the influence they hold as representa- tives of the public to effect action on the part of Queen’s Park? The parents are all working people. Most of them are employed in war plants. Of course, the care of their children rests upon them and perhaps they should ignore their war work for a day and beta‘ke themselves to Queen's ‘Park. But should that be necessary. and if they did go to Queen’s Park would they receive a hearing and be as able as their elected township re- presentatives to effect action? Would the councils of these two townships not be discharging a duty they owe their electors if they would make theI construction of a cinder path for the 1 children a matter of urgent town-I ship business and themselves take up the question with the Department of Highways to the end that when the Autumn term of school commences i the children ’and the little brothers' and sisters who will be accompany- ing them to school for the first time i will not be in daily jeopardy of los- ing their lives under the wheels of car 01' truck? ’mond Hill attend school in the vill- rage. Daily they must brave the dangers of Yonge St. traffic, and the child deaths that have occurred in the area in the past few years prove that the dangers are more real than imaginary. The parents of the child- ren and the neighbors of these par- ents petitioned the Vaughan town- ship council nearly a year ago for a cinder path to the village so that their children could avoid traffic dangers. The petitioners were in- structed that the provincial depart- ment of highways is the department to which their request should be ad- dressed. Accordingly, the parents so addressed their petition, but so far nothing has been done about provid- ing a cinder path. ’ Surplus Other Debenture Debtâ€"Sewer Public Utilities Street Railway Waterworks Debenture Debt Public School High School Books in Public Library . . . . . . . .
