The suggestion was made that it lRith‘ Fire Truck The Old One? it wt ill! to the. village doubtful. and whether worth more than that was als'o conjecttil‘ablc.

Lacrosse Likely. At~Arena Stabilize Fees F or Rink Charges for the use of the Rich- pmnd Hill arena will be stabilized. and the qrestion of the rate to be paid for the use of the rink for lacrosse, probably 315 per game. will be decided at the next meeting of the municipal council. "We must put the question of charges on a definite footing," said Councillor C. C. Mabley, at the March meeting of the council. "We should know when we rent the rink whence the money 'is coming if we are to keep the undertaking- on business basis. (‘or-neillor Mabley suggested that. council go into the entire subject as a committee and prepare a report of its findings so that. there may be no confusion when the next hockey season opens. Council also discussed the subject of financing the public librarv. “Residents of Markham and Vaughan 3 i use ourlibrary, and we are gfarl t‘icv find it available." said Reeve Ne"l. “We cannot, however. continue to overlook the fact that the councils of these two municipalities pay no» ‘thing towards its maintenanse. \T’.‘ have had the subject an at various times, but nothing- has come of it.

Japan. ' : she" was in Japan. she met Eric 1'1'ing'ton, an engineer installing a, steam generating elec- tric plant. They were married in Richmond Hill and in 1935 went to England. “My husband had many pictrres of electric plants in Japan,” Mrs. Warrington said, “and when war broke out, he gave them all to the air ministry in London. All his work in Japan has been pretty well wrped out bv the Allied air forces." “We were right; on the trip-gt» of the barrage balloons.“ Mrs. Warringâ€" to.n.said, “and when the German planes couldn’t get through. they just dumped their bombs." The Warâ€" rington home was within 400 yards of four Y-l‘s which exploded in Bromley. From .1041 until 1043, Mrs. War- rine'ton did research work on peni- cillin. as a replrccment for a man who had been doing work on diphâ€" theria toxoid before he joined the RAF. ~ Eighteen months ago. Mr. and Mrs. \‘l'arringt'on adopted two brothers whose parents were killet in one of the air raids on Portsmouth. “David and Brian are overwhelm- ed by the srpcrâ€"abundance of every- thing in Canada." Mrs. Warrington said. Junior Farmers On Radio Program Is Big Success If you heard the programme of the week you were tuned to the Jr. Farmer Show over CHML last Sat- urday night. It was the second. York County broadcast this winter. The program was in charge of the genial farm commentator of that station, Wally Ford, and was opened by several selections from the charmâ€" ing sextette of Vellore “l-Iarmonâ€" ettes’f composed of Orphie Orr. Mary Keffer, Jean. Ruth and Mary Mc- Gillivray and Mrs. Charles Grubbe and under the direction of Miss Marâ€" garet Watson of Kleinburg. Among:r their renditions were “Carolina.” “Blue Skies”, “Pale Moon” and the special request by the station “The Lord’s Prayer". The participants in the discussion were then introduced by Wally as Olive Shadloek, representing Union- ville; Barbara Hart representing Victoria Square; Bruce Snider of the Vellore Club and Gor.‘on McNern of the Sharon group. An active discusâ€" sion of club policies and sponsored ‘ projects was then carried on by these participants reviewing such subjch as the club adoption of European children, club dramatic plays, church services, weed eradication and mem- bership problems. The programme closed with two final selections from the “Harmonettcs". Appreciation was expressed to Wally for the co-operation of CH'ML and his own personal interest, and he in turn extended a cordial invita- tion to our juniors to visit the studio at any time in the future. The enthusiasm for such a program was evident in the number of non- partaking members who visited the studio. These included Mason Flet- cher, president of the county organ- ization. Les Hart. Gordon and Allan Orr and Jack Devins. All heartily agreed that the eveningr was most constructively and pleasantly spent.

L.':l\'Cl is growing, and that on Saturday night it is particularly heavy, so much so that the commission nati- fied the village council at its, March meeting that a special car would be operated from the city limits to the village. starting at 1.40 a.m. Sunday morning and returning to Toronto at 2.20 a.m. “We expect this service will be a convenience not only for theatre goers and other residents of the village who may be in the L’lt)‘ late Saturday evening. but also fer Toâ€" ronto people visiting in the village and attending dances and meetings," said a T.T.C. official to The Liberal. 1 “Do many city folks visit in Rich- mond I-lill Saturday evening?” he was asked. ‘ “Yes, indeed." he replied. You might be surprised also if you knew how many Toronto people attend your young people’s dances and oth- er affairs, and how many others make calls on friends all along the line from Lansing and Willowdale northward.” “Will this extra trip be the tore- runner of others?” he was asked. “It undoubtedly will if and when there is a demand for such trips. Our one idea is to provide the best service we can provide day and night. Car and other shortages just now make this difficult, but you can be sure that we are doing our best and will in time overcome all obstacles.

Writing in Maclean’s Magazine, March 1st, Hugh MacLennan says of Arthur lx'oestler‘s ‘Darkness at Noon,‘ “This book, .in reflecting the kind of world he knows. has been accepted as a great document of our time." Whatever Koestler writes upon any subject is important. In ‘ the Night’ he writes of the Jewish settlements in Palestine. That he is qualified to give us an authentic picture of that bewildering ‘lroublc spot' is shown in the following short account of his life. Born in Budaâ€" pest in 1005. he was educated in Vienna. Then he spent two years tramping ll] the Near East, farming in Palestine, selling lemonade in the streets of Haifa. acting as assistant to an Arab architect and as editor of a weekly in Cairo. Later as spe- cial correspondent for the London ‘Ncws (‘hionicle‘ in the Spanish (‘ivil War. he was czlpllll‘fl‘d and sentenced In death. but was released through the intervention of “the British Gm» ernmcnt. lle si‘l‘f‘eitl in the.

Decision to make the request was reached at the March meet'ng of council following a discussion of the subject. but the members were of the unanimous opinion that only so- called 'token’ compensation he indi- cated rather than amounts based on the services rendered by council. The move by council puts they-ill- age in line with other representaâ€" tive Ontario communities such as Aurora.

Lodges from various other centres have been invited to attend and an impressive Street parade will be one of the features. Use of the park and arena has been requested, and the municipal council at its March meet- question of making ar- rangements with the order for these facilities with Councillor C. C. Mab- ley, chairman of the parks and arena committee. “One of our chief concerns.’ pointâ€" ed out. Reeve Neal. “is that when the i park is used it be left in a tidy and orderly condition. A large crowd of people, many of them inclined to have picnics. cannot help but ‘lUSS things up. but I am quite sure our Orangemen will take care of straightâ€" ening up the park after the demonâ€" stiation.” The Orangemen’s big day in recent years has been staged in various. other towns and villages of the dis‘ trict, but this is definitely~ to be Richmond Hill’s year, and the fact that the Order’s orphanage is locat- ed here will have the effect, it is ex- pected. of drawing an unusually large crowd. There will be special speakers. and the event promises to he a really enjoyable one. General Holiday On Nov. 11 Request Of R. H. Legion Richmond Hill branch of the'Can- adian Legion went on record this week as favoring legislation that will effect the enforcement of a pub- lic holiday every November 11, known after the first great war as Armis- tice Day. The 'question was taken up at the Dominion convention of The Legion at Quebec last year when a motion “a, awaswpassed ‘asking'that Nove her 11 Spam- he preclaim fir ‘a‘p‘ational hul-id V be called Remembrance Day “in order that opportunity may be given to all our people to pay ,proper tribute to our dead." Councillor Bert Phelps of Vaughan township, president of the Richmond [Hill branch of the Legion pointed out to The Liberal that while the government, supported by local pro- clamations, may declare November 11 a public holidav. there is no pen- alty provided for non-observance, and that, therefore. nothing can be serv- ed by prosecuting those who do not observe the holiday. “That goes for Christmas, 'Year, Easter and all the holidays, declared Mr. Phelps. “Remembrance Day is in exactly the same class as all the other holidays but it is only that day on which there is a (livi- sion of opinion. “In the first war 60,000 Canadians died that we might have a Remem- brance Day and in the war that end- ed last year 40.000 Canadians died to save our homes and our businesses :from domination by the enemy. ‘ “Is it too much to ask that busi- | New n ness give the veterans full appor- tunity to observe that day without having to report for work as usual?” asked the Legion president. “Was it not those 100,000 Canadians who (lied and many thousands of other ser- vice men and women who fought and sacrificed in order that big business might carry on and do business and should not those large city business places show and remain closed for that day? l “Business is willing to be clo‘ed for May 24, July 1, and Labor Day 'lcelandia At Arena Pleasesjlg Crowd (By Glad McLatchy) In spite of heavy snow drifts, crowds jammed the arena to enjoy the Ice Follies sponsored by the Anglican Men’s Club. The Icelandia skating club lived up to its fine reputation as one of the best Skating Clubs in Canada and the performance of the thirty skaters was worthy of the club they repre- sented. I With the graceful ease of a bird. many difficult movements were sup- erbly executed to the entire amaze- ment and appreciation of the spe- tators. The thunderous applause that saluted diminutive seven-year- old Margaret Keller was outstandiiw with shorts of ‘morc. more‘ as she skated up and down the ice, pigtails flying as she whirled unfalteringly around and around, a sure champion in the making. The clever and humorous antics: of Fled Rowland had the crowd in stitches and they responded with a great ovation. The perfect timing and precision- skating of the gland march was a grand finale to an excellent perform» ance on the silver blades by all the. Icelandia skaters. The Anglican Men's Club wish to say thanks to Mr. Allen and to the members of lcclandia Club for - grand performance. 21 and the other holidays. Is it too much that the veterans who fought that we might enjoy those holidays should be permitted a day for them- selves? Is there any other holiday, except Christmas and Easter, that demands a complete cessation from business more than Remembrance Dav?” ens at" ‘ " For Soap Making Thornhillâ€"Are you still saving every drop of waste kitchen fat? The need is still urgent, as evidenced by the lack of soap on groce.'s' shelves. First Thornhill Cub Pack is in equipment, and its need of certain able cubmistress, Mrs. T. Jackson. has decided that by collecting used fat the boys would be doing a good deed as well as raising- the necess- ary cash with which to purchase the equipment. Just as soon as weather conditions permit, the lads will be at every door in the community to collect used fats, so please start saving im- mediately. Just strain every spoon- ful into a clean tin can. It is sur- prising how quickly these spoonfuls mount up. THE BETTER WAY Bumptious little Albania is being hauled before the United Nations Seâ€" curity Council, on British charges, for mining an international channel and causing the death of British sailors, injury to British ships. In the bad old days a British cruiser would have taken the matter in hand long ago. and a well-spanked A1â€" bania would have subsided. I l THURSDAY, FRIDAY. SATL’RDAY, r “ O. S.
