RICHVALE H ALL FLOOR CHRISTENED The parents of Richvale should in- deed be grateful to the group who have given time and thought without stint to make possible this long stride toward the ultimate in educa- tional environment. The school board under the chairmanship of Mr. Jackson Taylor and completed by trustees Mrs. C. Baker and Mrs. Ar- buthnot were given complete co-op- eration from the Ontario Department of Education through the person of Mr. C. H-owitt, the local school in- spector, to whom the betterment of rural education is not just an occup- ation but a very personal issue. The advantages of these improve- ments to the students and teachers alike will be immeasurable. 11; wil: be possible for a more personal and understanding relationship between the school staff and pupil. pursue jects. The main school building is being" completely re-decorated and the plumbing facilities renovated in adâ€" dition to the installation of a cistern to assure an adequate water supply. The new classrooms are a com- plete unit in themselves haying a separate heating unit. These" rooms make it possible to dispense with the classes in the basement of the main school, thus eliminating a situation which has, under seasonal conditions, been detrimental to the health of the pupils. This space will now be av- ailable for recreation and extra-cur- ricular activities, as well as space to pursue the studies of domestic sub- This coming school season will see be children of Richvale enjoying the privilege of educational facilities Lhat have no equal in the past in that community. The two new addition- al rooms which form an annex and .il‘e separated from the main build- ing will be completed to such an ex- tent as to be ready for the opening day. Rt. Rev. B. I. _Webster, auxiliary Bishop of Toronto is shown above with Rev. Frederick McGinn, Pastor of St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Parish, after the ceremony of blessing»; the new school last Sunday afternoon. Richmond Hill’s first separate school is a modern brick structure with two classrooms, play room, tea- chersl‘ room, kitdhen facilities and other modern conveniences. Located at the rear of the church in a beau- tiful setting with ample playgrounds the new school is modern in every respect and thosevwho attended the service Sunday were unanimous in voicing approval as they inspected the building and its fine furnishings. com: Weekly News Budget From The Richvale Community NEW SCHOOL DEDICATED BISHOP WEBSTER BLESSES NEW SCHOOL The entertainment committee of the Ratepayers’ wish to announce a euchre, proceeds of which will go to- ward completion of the hall, is to be held Wednesday, August 25th, at the residence of Mrs. H. Hudson, Spruce Ave., Richvale. Income and expenditures were re- viewed and it was decided that an appeal be made to the community in order to raise sufficient funds to complete the exterior of the building and install lighting and heating. The sum estimated as required to do this work is less than $4000 which is a. comparatively small sum considering the asset which the community will acquire on the building’s completion. The campaign~ will be under the guid- ance of Mr. J. Hurst and Mr. Jackson Taylor, and it is expected full details of the campaign will be announced in this column next edition. The Vaughan Women Workers did the honours with refreshments while the night air resounded with the toe- apping rhythm of the square dance The evening was declared a succesa and the building fund became the richer through the efforts of the As- sociation members who arranged and supervised the evening’s pleasure. NEW INDUSTRY The residents of Richvale welcomed industry into its fold last week when the Geo. P. Dowe Company commen- ced operations in their new factory on Spruce Avenue. The aim of this busy enterprise is to provide em- ployment for local workers and to this end’ girls, who are not particul- arly skilled in any individual type of industry and are seeking employ- ment are invited to call at the fac- tory office for an interview. ' VAUGHAN RATEPAYERS’ ASSOCIATION At the last regular meeting of the East Vaughan Ratej/yel‘s’ Associa- tion which was held in the uncom- pleted addition to the Richvale School, a complete report in detail was made by the building committee of the Community Hall. This is Richmond Hill’s first :91» arate school and it will open in Sep- tember with an enrolment of about 60 pupils. Sisters of Loretta will be in c‘riargé of i’nstruction. “ ~ occasion of the first enteftainment using the community hall. The floor of the proposed hall Was the scene of the affair and it was well attended by the residents of the‘ community. Msm'. Callaghan addressed the as- sembly following the dedication and many members of-the clergy were in attendance from Toronto and other points. In his address Msgl‘. Calla- ghan congratulated the members of St. Mary’s Parish, and their pastor, Father McGinn, on their zeal and en- terprise in erecting the school. and landscaping. Anthony Deciantis of Richmond Hill was the genera? contractor and he is receiving high commendation on the speed of the construction and also on the fine workmanship. Many local tradesmen contributed to the buildings as sub- contractors. Smart, a new addition to the Red Shirts, played very well and ac- counted for one goal. Gord Smith played in goal for Ma- ple in the absence ‘of Pete Rumble, and played a very creditable game. Maple was very fortunate in secur- ing the servicas of such a fine per- former and he will 'ie very valuable to the Maple team. Stars For Newmarket The work of young Herty is very good. He played a steady game and is a star in the making. Stars For Maple Bruce Jones played his best game of the year. He scored two goals and played well both as a playmaker and checker. Roy Thompson was also his usual brilliant self, with two clever goa:s. Hack Wilson played a steady game for the Red Men. Although the vet- eran of the club, he is one of their better forwards. MAPLE DEFEATS NEWMARKET 10 T0 2 Redmen Although Shorthanded Give A Good Display Newmarket played good lacrosse, even though they were very short- handed. They held Maple to a 5-1 score at the halfway mark. They did fall down towards the end of the game and finished on the short end of a 1'0~2 score. Richmond Hill T 0 Have Dial Telephones By 1951 Bell Plans Dial telephone service for Rich- mond Hill is an integral part of the expansion plans being carried out by the Bell Telephone Company of Can- ada, according to S. R. VanDusen, Bell manager for this area. Because of shortages of exchange equipment, coupled with a growing demand for this type of equipment throughout the country, plans for converting the telephone system here to dial oper- ation are tentatively set for 1951, but in the meantime no effort will be spared to provide the best possible service with the present type or equipment for all who order it. It was a fair game to watch and there were no penalties and no In- juries. Lundy played a great game for North Peel. He is a brilliant’ stick handler and a fine play-maker. He accounted for three goals. Norm Alexander and Cleve Bur- ton played well. Burton scored two clever goals and Alexander relieved the tired Blue Shirts with his brill- iant rushes. Pete Rumble gave a great display in the Maple nets Pete is a choice for the most val- uable man in the Maple line-up. Stars For North Peel Lorne Widders scored nine goals for North Peel. This fact alone speaks for itself. He is very smaII, but one of the hardest working players I have ever seen. Sport News And Comments From The Maple District The company’s program of expan- sion and improvement calls for the eventual conversion of magneto ex- changes in the Company’s territory Stars For Maple Stan Foster scored no less than six goals to lead the Blue Shirts. He also worked tirelessly. MAPLE BOWS TO NORTH PEEL IN OVERTIME 13-12 Blue Shirts Fade Badly in Third, After Holding Commanding Lead Maple has never won a game in the Orangev'ille Arena, but, they will never come any closer, until they do, than they did on their last visit. After trailing 5-2 starting the secâ€" ond period, Maple took command of the game and were leading 10-6 at the end of the third period. They held this lead until the half-way mark of the fourth stanza and then they faded badly, until North Pee] tied the score. They held on until the game ended and in the last few seconds nearly won the game. It was a very gopd game. to watch and there were only a few penalties. Maple played well, but lack of con- dition more than louse play lost the game. In the overtime North Peel forged ahead, but the Blue .,Shi‘rits, evened matters seconds later. It remain'éd for North Peel to settle matters with a lone counter at the eight minute mark in overtime. IN THE MEANTIME NO EFFORT SPARED TO GIVE BEST ' POSSIBLE SERVICE ADVERTISING IN GETS RESULTS THE LIBERAL RADIALS SHOW PROFIT Operating profits on the North 'Yonge Railways for June 1948 am- ounted to $1,145.73 compared to $3,379.28 for June 1947. Passenger revenue showed an increase of 81,2P1.8~0. Passenger revenue for the first six months of 1948 showed an increase of 34.323.73- with opera- ting expenses $3,540.00 greater than in 1947. Operating profit for the first six months of 1948 Were $10;- 356.73 compared to $13,985.29 for the corresponding period last year. to commdn battery or dial operation. When this is completed, the long- l'amiliar hand-crank will be a matter of history. The order of conversion of magneto exchanges will, of course, be governed by the the size of each exchange, industrial develop- ment as opposed to rural develop- ment, and other factors. Berney and Widders were also good. Berney is a fine, clever play- maker and set up many dangerous plays. W‘idders was always dang- erous and scored two goals. 11 T0 7 IN OVERTIME Blue Shirts Blow A Three Goal Lead And Fade Out Of The Picture In , x . . 3 a “grading N. . ' . After going into an early. three} goal lead, the local Blue Shirts :fad- ed badly, but managed to hold off the visitors until the final bell. In the overtime, led by Billy Brunskill, the visitors scored early and were never headed. The game was a splendid effort on the part of both 'eams and the crowd was treated to some excellent play. Maple had a oneâ€"goal lead, with a minute to go, but a determined “Red” thrust was not to be denied, and the game and ed in a tie. The game was rough in spots and the local crew, if anything, were more guilty in this department than the visitors. Maple played well enough, but their checking was ooor at times. and that is all the much improved North Peel team needed to gain a victory; The vis~ itors played a steadier brand of laâ€" crosse and deserved their victory. Maple was still short handed and showed lack of condition as the game went on. North Peel have added Bill Brun‘skill to their line-up and he accounted for four goals, and played a splendid game. played a splendid game. Stars For Maple Roy Thompson played a sparkling game and Maple’s attacks were al- ways dangerous when he was on the floor. Harry Burton scored on a beauti- ful effort and played well through- out. Next to Billy Brunskill, McCannel nlaypd a fine game for the “Red Men.” He scored one goal on an end to end rush and was always dangerous. Tom Armitage did a fine chore in looking after the much experienced Brunskill and scored one fine goal; Gord Smith gave a fair perfor- mance in. goal. He drew a five-min- ute penalty, but saved a sure goal on the play. Despite a net increase of nearly 130,000 Bell telephones in service in 1947, and the addition of tens of thousand more in the first six months of this ,year, there is still a backlog of about 95,000 unfilled orders. Rich- mond Hill is fortunate in this regard, as there are only about 25 waiting applicants‘here, most of whom will he served within the next few months when the necessary outside wires and cables can be provided. Stewart, played well and took a lot 3f punishment in goal for Newmar- ket. The new bleachers will be complet- ed as soon as possible. The M.R.A. has enough money to pay for this nroject, but, if any of the fans would care to make a donation, it would be greatly appreciated. We have al- ready received several donations. Donations may be sent to Maple R. A., in care of Mike Miller, Treasurer. Thank You. MAPLE BOWS TO NORTH PEEL Stars for North Fee] to Billy Brunskill, McCannel NOTES No. 8
