RICHJVIOND HILL, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JANUARY 10th, 1946 Wait And Keep Eye On City Says Weldrick On Radials In discussing the current increase in crime which is causing consider- able alarm throughout our land the speaker said it was unfortunate that while we spend millions of dollars and expend measureless energy try- ing to make good citizens of our youth, we sit calmly by and tolerate the existence of other influences which tend to nullify our efforts. He mentioned -a certain type of movie and some publications which had a demoralizing influence and were pro- ductive of poor citizenship. We must seek to provide new means of guid- ance and recreation for youth and we must at the same time seek to The question of improved public transportation from Toronto came before Vaughan township council this week at its first 1946 meeting. “Radial patrons are demanding a faster service," delcared Councillor Bert Phelps. “The complaints over the present service have become even more vigorous since Toronto approved its new rapid transit plan. If We are to benefit by the general improvement about to take place, it is high time we put in our oar and commenced to row. I propose a meeting with Markham, North York and Richmond Hill councils to try to plan some action.” Reeve Weldrick:â€"â€"â€"“What percent- age of people are complaining. Very few have come to this council to complain about the service, and we must not forget that the radials are a paying proposition. I think that as long as the cars are running and paying us a profit we should leave things alone. Let us wait and see What Toronto does." J. E. Smith, iMJP“ was the guest sneaker at the North York Lions Club which met at Willowdale Monâ€" day evening. The North York mem- ber was given a hearty reception by his fellow Lions and in his remarks gave some interesting highlights of the recent session of Parliament and discussed some current problems. Mr. Smith appealed especially to Lions and all public spirited citizens to take an active interest in the re- habilitation of our returning servicai personnel. “The government has provided extensive plans and made generous provisions for our return- ing service men,” he said, “in a re- habilitation program which We are proud to say is the most generous of any country in the world. How- ever there is always that extra mile which the interested individual can go beyond anything any government body or official agency can accomp- lish in really rehabilitating these boys who are returning after sev- eral years on the war fronts. Let’s not forget them after the enthusi- asm of the official welcome is over,” said the speaker. “Rather let’s keep in close touch with them, take them by the hand and work together with them in building the better world they’ve dreamed aboutâ€"the better world for which they fought and for which their comrades died.” Pine Grove school trustees asked for the appointment of a school nurse. “Several school districts have asked for a nurse and we should North York M.

By‘ Jack Marsh, special correspondent of The Liberal Ottawa, Jan. 9â€"Surprise was exprésaed in government circles today that there should be any confusion in Toronto over the Dominion’s plan ,0 help finance public projects for cities‘imd provinces.

The speaker was introduced by Lion Tom Wiltshire and was tend- ered a heartv vote of thanks by the members. Three new Lions were received at the meeting, one of the new members being Rev. L. 0.

In 1935, tgx arrears amounted to $33,980. ' “The case of Toronto transporta- tion is not an isolated one. If the government were inclined to be len- ient or indulgent and relax its pol- icy .fpr Toronto, what would- prevent every other municipality in the Do- minion fro-m expecting similar help for transportation, light plants, sewâ€" ers and anything else for which the residents might have a fancy? And what would that do to taxes?” Coup‘erthwaite. a new member of counci.‘ stated “there was no rea- son ~. .g the back farmers should not be'taken care of as well as the farmers on the paved highways and they should be able to get to the city and have their goods on the market as well as the next fellow.” The truck which did the plowing last year will not be available as it is at present on other road work. The tenders will be opened at a spe- cial meeting of the cbuncil Saturday afternoon at the council chambers. A committee will be formed from representatives of the Red Cross, Veterans, Junior Farmers, Women’s Institute, churches, Lions Club and the members of the council to find out what can be done, and what the most need of the boys returning home from the war is. The council is very anxious to see that the boys are taken care of and it is hoped that this committee will bring something worth while before them. The flecessary by-last appointing the township officials were passed. Markham Township Council in its first regular meeting on Monday af- ternoon decided to call for tenders for the plowing of snow for town- ship roads as the new snow plow and road maintainer ordered some time ago will not be available until the middle of April. Several members of council felt that for the time be- ing snow could be taken care of by the present road maintainer and what it could not take care of would just have to be let go. Councillor Les.

Fence viewers, pound keepers, stock valiators and weed inspectors were appointed, and council an- nounced its decision of attending the good roads convention. The question of lights on Yonge St. was also briefly considered. “They are very necessary,” said Councillor Phelps. “The question is one for all municipalities and not for Vaughan alone,” replied Reeve Weldrick. “A price was obtained some time ago and it proved to be very high.” personal taxation RICHMOND HILL MUNICIPAL COUNCIL lNAUGURAL MEETING HELD MONDAY Reeve William Neal and all mem- bers of Richmond Hill council at- tended the inaugural session held in the Municipal Hall Monday morning.
