Sale of the 9th loan continues to Nov. 10. . “The total objective is consider- ably above that of any previous loan, so that it will require the loyal support of everyone to attain it," declared Mr. Heriington. “Remem- berâ€"-there will not be another Vic- tory Loan for a year.

Nothing provided effective control until we used DDT. We don’t, of course, know whether the midge has gone to stay in as much as this is {he time of year it disappears any- ow. Jas. Pollard of the H. J. Mills plant said their roses were also hard hit, and that if it had not been for DDT the midge would have spread so rapidly it would have cleaned out the_ greenhouse in short order. William Cotton of Richmond Roses told The Liberal the spray with the newly discovered insecticide had proved highly satisfactory. “We were the hardest hit of the green- houses here,” he said, “and our loss was around a thousand dollars. We applied DDT three times at inter- vals of two weeks. We sprayed ev- erything, and I am glad to say we haven’t since the treatment seen one of the insects. We should have an excellent crop of roses for Christ- mas.’ Richmond Hill greenhouses have suffered a loss running into thou- sands of dollars within the past few months through the ravages of the rose midge. One estimate puts the loss at $110,000. The problem of con- trol and extermination of the pest is one of the most serious ever conâ€" fronted by the industry, and although the rose growers believe they have eliminated the insect by means of a DDT spray (dichloro dithenyl trich- boro) they still lack assurance that it will not return.

A ban- quet for contestants and their friends will be held on November 2 at Vellore when the prizes will be presented. The York County Junior Farmers’ Association are again sponsoring a Home Plowing Competition for the young folks of the county with a special class for the girls..The plow- ing must be done this week so the work can be scored early next week. In the walking plow classes 2 acres must be plowed on the home farm or where the junior is working or within a mile of this farm if suit- able land is not available at home. Boys under 16 need only plow 11/2 acres and in the tractor classes 3 acres are required. This was the first contest of its kind when organized in 1922 to enâ€" courage boys to plow with their own teams without spectators and it has developed several champion plow- men. Excellent prizes are being offered again including a silver tea service by the familv of the late A. Special Girls Class For Home Plowing Scientific observations show the midge is yellowish in color and so small as to be hardly visible to the naked eye. The female deposits her eggs between the folded leaves of the leaf buds and to some extent in the axils of tender eaves and be- tween the sepals and-petals of the blossom buds. Under greenhouse conditions the eggs hatch in about two days. The whitish maggots on hatching at once begin to destroy the terminal leaves and blossom buds. When abundant they may be found feeding on any succulent part of the rose plant, for instance, at the base of the flower buds, on the upper sides of tender leaves and on leaf petioles. “Theu‘buds of the young shoots did not develop, and on investigation it was found they were destroyed by the larvae,” says the government re- port on the Toronto inquiry. The varieties of roses- which had been severely injured were Ophelia, Mil- ady and Stanley. The variety Rich- mond was very slightly attacked. The owner of the houses was of the opin- ion that the pest was introduced on rose bushes imported from Chicago. It has been since found in other places in Ontario.” The government report calls the midge “one of the worst pests of roses known,” and goes on to say that in 1919 it caused a loss of $12,- 000 in one Ontario greenhouse and a loss ofr$6,000 in another. logist show a scientific fight has been carried on against the rose midge since 1914 when specimens of in- fested shoots were sent to Ottawa by Mrs. J. Laing of London, Ont. This, according to the Dominion depart- ment of agriculture, was probably the first record of the rose midge in Canada. Two years later its pres- ence was reported detected in To- ronto greenhonses. Yon ge at Castlefield 31% ihwmlk RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, OCTOBER in Essentials.

B. Parkin, architect in charge of making the plans 101' the new Me- morial hall and Community centre, was in Richmond Hill a few days ago to take measurements and sur- vey the undertaking. The initial sketches will be ready shortly, it is believed. Interest in the memorial has been revived by the petition of Mr. J. A. Greene to the village council to hasten the work of inscribing the names of Richmond Hill’s war heroes on the memorial in front of the school; An alternative proposal ad- vanced is that the names should be inscribed on a tablet at the new Memorial hall, but it is pointed out this would separate the lists of the heroes of the first war from those of the more recent conflict. Hush! Here’s their secret. They are going to give the children of Richmond Hill a fine picture show at the Arena, the film they have obtained being entitled “Pecks Bad Boy at the Circus” and several comic shorts, and everyone knows‘nothing sliodrt of a real treat is thus prom- lse . But nothing could daunt the Lions, and so they have arranged an even- ing that will bring even more joy to the hearts of modern youngsters than any of the 01d fa‘shioned forms of entertainment. The Lions tried hard to find a magic carpet and create a wonder- land for the little ones such as the story of Alice in Wonderland sug- gests, but they found magic carpets as scarce as scarce can be. None could be found at any of the stores, and many other things were on the short side, too. Municipal Plebiscite Proposed On War Memorial Proposals Richmond Hill Lions plan to add to the reputation. they have acquired of being the friends of the little children of the village, and next Wednesday evening, HalloWe'en, they are going to stage another big event for them. Lions Couldn’t Get Magic Carpet But They Have Done Even Better For Children this Hallowe’en Richmond Hill contributed nine truck loads of clothing for the re- lief of the suffering populations of the war victim countries. Lions Club and Youth Council members collect- ed the articles from every family in the village. “It was a splendid revelation of our generosity,” declared J. A. Greene, who provided a centre for the storage and packing of the goods. “Everybody who gave has reason to feel proud and glad that they have been able to help relieve tragic hu- man suffering. 9 Loads 01‘ Clothing Gift From Village The number of tragic accidents on this stretch of highway between Steele’s and Richmnnd Hill (given the name of “the death trap”, has made immediate action necessary. The committee appointed included Rev. S. A. R. Wood, Mr. F. C. Cros- by, Mr. R. H. Neil and Mr. A. O. Thorne. Petitions were placed in several stores and the post office, to be signed by the ratepayers, and an appointment is being made to take these before the Attorney General. The committee will then bring their findings before a general meeting of thg ratepayers. 1. That a committee be appointed to approach the authorities to see about sufficient police protection, and to see that the speed law is en- forced. That a stop light or lights be installed in the village. 2. That a sidewalk be placed on the west side of Yonge from the Village to the school, and north to the limits of the Village which would take in Langstaff school~ Thornhill, Oct. 24â€"An emergency meeting of citizens was called in Victoria Hall to consider the death of one of the village children as the result of an accident. Out. of' the discussion came two resolutions: Thornhill Demands Highway Be Safe Deplores Fatality Several such views suggested to a member of council that perhaps the proper thing to do would be to go fully into the subject of the memor- ial again, and obtain the views of the public by submitting alternative plans in the form of a questionnaire at the coming municipal election. In a letter to The Liberal, Miss Edna Izzard contributes some valu- able suggestions on the subject. Her letter follows: boys who are added Miss Izzard's Letter Richmond Hill, Oct. 22, 1945. Dear Mr. Editor: The people of this community will soon be giving serious consideration to the plans of three community proâ€" jects: a war memon‘al, a community centre and an addition to the High School. Why not combine all three? We (at least of the teaching pro- fession) are hearing much of the school as the community centre. A very practical question is now being asked, “Why should a community maintain an expensive plant for use only from 8 am. to 5 p.m. when it might well serve the community ev- ery evening in the week?” Consider the location of our High (Continued on Page 5) The Lions’ event starts at 8 p.m. and the children, prior to that and under the direction of the school staff, will make their annual collec- tion of pennies throughout the vill- age for the fund to send boxes to the Richmond Hill boys still over- seas. Folks are asked to give penn- ies instead of candies, apples, etc. on that account. So don’t; worry mothers. Just bring the little ones along to see the show and enter the contest and leave the rest to the Lions. The children th’e judges select will not necessarily be the most expens- ively or most ornater dressed. As one Lion put it: “Little Johnny may appeal to the judges as most suit- ably dressed if he has a patch on the seat of his trousers such as he always wears when he is at play.” More than that, they are going to have a contest to decide on the best costumed children, and they will give first, second and third prizes to the trio the heard of iudges picks._ Now mothers needn’t start cudgelâ€" ing their brains trying to decide whether the‘y could attire Jack and little Maggie so that they would hay? a phance for a pr12e._ The annual King and Vaughan Plowing Match will be held tomor- row, Friday, October 26th at the farms of Marshall’s Five Star Hatch- ery and Wilfred Sloan, lots 30 and 31. con. 5 King Township.

Brethen. 5 Special Speakers As Church Re-opens Mr. Mc‘Callum foresaw a period of prosperity ahead if we could once settle the immediate post war prob- lems we are encountering, such as “Recently, you may have noticed in the newspapers, the numbefioi labor delegations calling on t e Board of Control in Toronto to ask for help, and yet what can the board do for them. It lacks power to do what is asked. Similarly, with hous- ing. We are asked to do many things about housing and yet the re- sponsibility is not with us. “However,” continued the speaker, “the housing problem is one from which municipal government cannot escape, irrespective of questions of responsibility. We cannot allow peo- ple to be evicted from their homes and sit on their furniture out on the sidewalk. Nor can we allow the war brides of our boys overseas to come to our communities and be unable toifind any__pla‘ce in which to_live.’: “Municipal government is the most important in Canada,” Controller McCallum of Toronto told the Lions Club of Richmond Hill at its meet- ing a few days ago. “I do not mean it is the most important from the standpoint of taxation, direct or in- direct,” he continued, “but because of its close association with the pub- lic.
