All Jersey breeders, their friends and families are welcome. If you are sceptical ask anyone who was there last year -- and then you’ll be out.

This gathering of Jersey Breeders is always a welcome respite from the daily work and comes at an excellent time of the year for a “breather.” “Red” bested Spider Shackleton at the Richmond Hill arena in the final bout of the Richvale wrestling show which was staged to help the build- ing fund for the community hall. It was a very exciting evening opened by Carlo Trounce, the Italian strong man besting Jack Spring. In the oreliminary and semi-final bouts Bob Kirkland threw Jack Miller while Ernie Hughson took two falls straight off Tom Hain. The final of the evening proved the thriller and although Red Garner won his match by losing the first fall and then win- ning two straight he was just about thrown for a loss by his youthful admirers who swarmed over him to show him their pleasure. If the community hall ever needs a youth instructor they will be missing a good bet if they pass up this win- ning personality. The pied piper of Hamlin has noth- ing on one “Red” Garner of Richâ€" vale and he demonstrated last Friday night his power over children. The entertainment commit-tee of the Vaughan Ratepayers’ Association are holding , a dance to swell the community hall building fund. The dance is to be held on Wednesday, June 30th, in the Richvale Public School on Spruce Ave., Stop 2'2A Yonge Street and there will be both square dancing as well as modern dancing. All are invited to come and have an enjoyable evening. Pied Piper of Richvale Mrs. L. Fenner of Oak Avenue, Richvale, had the pleasure of a visit from Mr. & Mrs. Prest of Toronto over the week-'end.

He graduated from O.A.C. in 1942 and has held posts in Frontenac. Prince Edward and Middlesex Counties. At a recent meeting of the South West Lansing Ratepayers Associa- tion the organization went on record as whole-heartedly favoring the conâ€" tinuance of radial transportation on Yonge St. A resolutiOn suggested the replacement of switches at stops 5 and 8 and the appomtment of a township transportation commiSsion. RATEPAYERS MEETING FAVORS RADIAL SERVICE “Georgee Stong, ye ex.fireballer of Richmond Hill Roses, is mowing them down in the Hamilton senior softball circuit. Stong ranks with the great Russ Johnson in popularity in the Ambitious City and he’s about second to Johnson and Joe Davis in ability.” Ab. ‘Hulse, writing in the sports column of the Newmarket Eta. has the following to say about Georg: Stong, formerly of Richmond Hill, now of Hamilton: Interment took place in the adâ€" joining church yard, one of the mos' beaufiful spots in that part of the country, and in the district where the late Bits. hchibbon first taughf school. GEORGE STONG STILL HURL-ING IN HAMILTON The second service was held in the historic church of St. James’ Orn-The- Lines, Penetanguishene, Ontario, on Sunday afternoon at 1:45 o’clock. The Rev. W. F. Wrixon was in charge of this service, assisted by the Rev. R. L. McLaren, rector of the parish. As the casket, covered with a beautiful Pall, stood within the little church, the simple burial service was read in the presence 0‘- former friends and relatives. The local funeral service was held at her -late home. on Saturday even- ing, when a large and representative group of relatives, friends and other citizens gathered to pay their last respects to one who had been held in high esteem. The service was in charge of the Rev. W. F. Wrixon, Rector of St. Mary’s Church. Mr. Wrixon spoke feelingly of the life of Mrs. McGibbon, and the high esteem in which she was held by all who knew her. He spoke of the great loss the church and the WA. had sustained in her passing, and of her great work in connection 'with the Parcels for Britain and the Chancel Guild. “At our church,”. said the Rector, “we were always happy and satisfied when we knew that Mrs. McGibbon was to arrange the flow- ers. She had the patience and touch so necessary to the proper arranging of flowers.” Mr. Wrixon concluded his remarks by saying, “This pleasâ€" ant, dignified, unselfish lady of Richâ€" mond Hill will live long in the mem-‘ oronf those who‘ knew her]: In the passing of Mrs. McGibbon, Richmond Hill has lost a leading cit- izen. Always interested in Commun- ity Service, she was a valuable mem- ber of the Red Cross, the Horticul- tural Society and other organizations. She was a member of St. Mary’s An- glican Church, the Woman’s Auxil- iary, having charge of the W. A. Parcels for Britain, and the .Treasâ€" urer of the Chancel Guild of the Church. - LATE MRS. N. McGIBBON The people of Richmond Hill and district received a sad shock on Thursday morning last when they learned of the sudden passing of the late Mrs. Norman McGibbon. Nina M.

Thanks are extended to the Rich- vale Board of School Trustees and Mrs. Sparks, school caretaker, for their cooperation in allowing the ladies to use the school to prepare their foods and beverages. OBITUARY Members of Markham Township council conferred recently with mem- bers of Markham village council re police matters. A suggestion was made that the township engage two full time constables. and police the township and the village, the village to pay one third of the cost. No agreement was reached. Other mat- ters discussed jointly were the pub- lic health nursing service and the mutual use of the dump on the side- road‘ south of the Village. Municipal authorities are concern- ed about the practice getting all too prevalent of people dumping garbage and refuse in ditches and on road- sides. In Markham township Road Superintendent Clark says instruc- tions have been given the constable to prosecute offenders wherever ev- idence is obtained. MARKHAM TWP. AND VILLAGE COUNCILS CONFER A new switchboard has been in- stalled in Stouf'fville and no longer do telephone subscribers in that town have to turn the crank to call cen- tral. All they do now is lift the re- ceiver and the operator says “num- ber please”. When you hang up the receiver the disconnection is autom- atic and it no longer is necessary to ring off. Recently Richmond Hill council made a request for instal- lation of modern equipment here.

He succeeds Willard Simp- son of Thornhill, who was an able presiding officer and hard worker in the interests of the club. A diversified program of this sort, in a club of only 60 members, calls for the outlay of considerable money. In addition to the money raised within the club, $2,940 was raised during the year by outside activities. The bulk of this, $2,119 came from the street carnival; 3,739 from a ser- ies of dances in Lawrence Memorial Hall last winter and spring; $56 from the Hallowe’en Party and $25 from the Thornhill Woman’s Insti- tute. The money was distributed as far as possible, for community betterment. for instance, the May 24 sports meet. The health and wel- fare program of the club cost $278, the juvenile hockey team, $92; the rink $100. In addition to the com- munity projects such as these, don- ations were made to Sunnybrook Hospital, the Thornhill Brownies, Food for Britain Fund, the United Nations Appeal for Children and A1- coholics Anonymous. The Lions Club undertakes many charitable duties. At Christmas and again at Easter needy families of the district were given fuel, clothing and baskets of food. Medical sup- plies were distributed along with medical care. The Thol'nhill rink was operated by the club this year, mainly through the efforts of George Nut-tall. In addition, a juvenile hockey team was sponsored and a carnival held. Sim- ilar plans are being laid for next winter. REV. E. W. G. WORRALL. KING LEAVES EOR NE‘V APPOINTMENT perennials, Mrs. B.
