Thus fire protection Will be assured at the outset. Findings of committees appointed at a communitv meeting to investi- gate the feasibility of erecting a community hall in King were pre- sented at a second meeting held in Memorial Hall on November 13th. Authoritative sources had been con- sulted pointing out that grants sought from public institutions gave control to that body. A campaign established to raise funds, is a serâ€" ious business, said chairman of“ the SUPPLY FOR KING 1 our WILLREADY soo meeting, Ivan Specht. Once..starte<l it cannot be dropped and once dropp- ed it could never be revived. But neither of thesehopinions should hin- der the project. The way lies open, and the starting point is careful con- sideration, good organization and de- termination, backed by coâ€"operation from all groups within the district. It was unanimously decided on re- commendation by Rev. E. W. G. W01“- i'all, to appoint an interim commit- tee headed by Clarke Archibald, to lay facts before all community or- ganizations, asking each body to name a representative to speak on behalf of the organization at a pub- lic meeting to be held on January 22 in Memorial Hall. “Knowing rural folk as I do,” said Mr. Worrall, ,“I would advise a period of time be given for consideration by eachl group within the district, of a inatâ€"' ter of such importance." With public opinion sounded. and time allowed for further disenssion,| the project of a community hall which would involve money, mater- ials and future care, will have been carefully gone over before any steps are taken. Mr. Douglas Lockhart supported Mr. Worrall’s amendment. Humane Society’s Films Are Widely Applauded A series of extremely successful movie nights were sponsored recent- ly by the North York Humane So- ciety. The filnis “Out of the Ilezirt” and “Animals in the Service of Man” were featured and the first skewing in the Richmond Hill United Church Sunday School room under the aus- pices of the Exl)l<‘1‘31‘s Group was enthusiastically received by an audi- ence of about 200 children. Most of the 206 newly enrolled members of the junior society were present and the technicolor films received a rousing reception. Maple was next on the list through them-operation of the Maple school board and further members were add- ed to the growing- junior society. The films were shown again, by invitation of the Vellore Women’s Institute following their 'F‘aniily Night Dinner. Here, the audience. mellowed -i-~by-rathe sumptuous;- 53am which the ladies of the Institute pro- vided, received the program well and the work of creating interest among the children was forwarded. All membersof the Richvale and Thornhill schools were given the op- portunity of seeing; both films as a result of the co-operation of the ‘staffs of those scliOols and their re- spective school boards. Reports in- dicate that. more than 125 junior members have been enrolled at Thoriihill, and it is hoped that sim- ilar success can be reported when reâ€" turns from Richvale become avail- , aole. The final showing was made poss- ible by the trustees of the VVoed- bridge Public School where an enâ€" thusiastic audience estimated at 160 youngsters gave the show their rapt attention. Shortage of Junior Humane Soci- ety buttons and pledge cards due to the phenomenal success of the camâ€" paign for junior members is pre- venting the societv from providing Woodbridg‘e with the necessary ma- terial for forming a junior society but this will be remedied shortly. It is estimated that the six showâ€" ii gs were .witnessed‘ by 750 children There will be a'general meeting of the adult society on Tuesday. De- cember 3 in the Richmond Hill Mun- icipal Hall at 8 pm. It is requested that all members attend this meet- ing at which officers will be elected for 1047. Anyone interested in the society is cordially invited. .__â€"_. Ciet Out And Vote Dec. 9 Lions Urge R. H. Voters Richmond Hill Lions Club, in con- itself to the promotion of civic bet- terment, is this year sponsoring a campaign in corinection with the municipal election, the slogan of which is: “Vote as you like, but vote.” ‘ Provincial and Dominion wide surâ€"I veys of municipal elections in recent years reflect a regrettable apathy on the part of large numbers of voters In many communities, not more than entitled to vote take the trouble tol cast their ballots, and in most casesl it has been shown that distance from the polling booth is not a‘factor in parent apathy on the part of some as much as the voters who didn’t vote lived quite close to the point at which their ballot boxes were loâ€" cated. “In villages and towns,” said a proponent of the Lions’ campaign, “most voters live within very rea- sonable distances of their polling booths, but it is often in such com- munities where the most apathetic voters, or perhaps they should be called non-voters live. There is no excuse. except illness that keeps the voter in bed on election day, for not exercising the right to vote." “It is worthy of note," said a vet or who hasn’t missed casting a bail- lot in many years, “that the citizens who fail to vote are usually the ones who do the most grumbling about cool WEI)" 'l‘Hl'RS..
