' Icelandia At Arena Pleases Big Crowd 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 311 a public holiday, there is no pen- ialty provided for nonâ€"observance, and that, therefore, nothing can be serv- ed by prosecutingr those who do not observe the holiday. “That goes for Christmas, New 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 diviâ€" sion of opinion. “1'1 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- ness give the veterans full appor- tunicy to observe that day without havng to report for work as usual?” asled the Legion president. “Was it notthose 100.000 Canadians who died anl many thousands of other ser- viemen and women who fought and sa’rificed in order that big business mght carry on and do business and s’ould not those large city business )iaces show and remain closed for Inat day? I‘“Business is willing to be closed for May 24, July 1, and Labor Day Following similar action by other Ontario communities, Richmond Hill will submit a request to the Ontario Municipal board for permission to pay the reeve of the village $200 per year and each of the councillors $100. Decision to make the request was reached at the March meeting- of council following a discussion of the subject. but the members were of the unanimous opinion that only so- called ‘token’ compensation be indi- cated rather than amounts based on the services rendered by council. The move by council puts the vill- age in line with other representa- 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- ing left the question of making arâ€" rangements with the order for these facilities with Councillor C. C.

Jackson. has decided that by collecting used fat the boys would be doing a good deed as well as raising- the necessâ€" ary cash with which to purchase the equipment. Just as soon as weather conditlons permit, the lads will be at every door in the community to collect used fats, so please start saving 1m- mediately.

Lions And Village Councii Get Together On New Hall Richmond Hill Lions, always cl ful givers, are making- their prc ed gift of a memorial hall to village one of the club's first or of business. Paul Angle, with several other members of the club, called on the village council at its March meet- ing" to discuss further details of the project. It was again pointed out that the hall, to cost in the neigh-r borhood of $25,000, will be deeded to the village by the Lions as a gift. the club to raise the money to pay for the undertaking. The new hall will be a much need- ed community centre, providing for youth and adult recreational needs and affording a meeting place and Paul Angle, members of tl village council ing‘ to discuss p1'ojec§.

A large crowd of people, many of them inclined to have picnics, cannot help but-wuss things up, but I am quite sure our Orangemen will take care of straight- ening up the park after the demonâ€" stration.” 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 exâ€" pected, of drawing an unusually large crowd.
