The fifth :prize, a pressure cooker, ticket number '5776 went to A. P.

Rev. 'F. McGinn, parish priest of St. Mary's, presided over the evening’s proceedings and at elevenl o’clock called on J. E. Smith, M.P., and Reeve P. G.

Mr. Smith drew the first ticket, for the tailor-made dress by Chez Madame, Toronto, and reaching deep into the wire drum con-:aining many thous- ands of tickets he drew ticket No. 5816, held' by Mrs. Blanche Walsh, 4106 Grace Street, Toronto.

COMPETITION WINNERS McGinn, winner of the man of .building committee took place. The topic was the progress to date on the erection of the East Vaughan Ratepayers community hall. While it was regretted the building program had not progressed as far as had been anticipated it was ag- reed satisfactory and the building committee were given a hearty vote of thanks for their unselfish work and time spent during the past sum- mer on the project. It was an- nounced that upwards of $2100.00 ~laa*sc-'l‘)ec!rt«err-pended .to; date, of this approximately $1000.00 is represent- ed by the footings, floor, tool and refreshment shed, etc.; the remain- ing $1100.00 is invested in steel sash and beams, roof timbers and sundry lumber, material which has been pur- chased and is on the building site awaiting the time of usage. The en- tertainments such as draws, wrest- ling shows, baking sale, etc., during the past summer have added over $600.00 to the building fund. All in all the picture is one of enterprise that is an example of spirit which points to a very successful future for the district of the East Vaughan Ratepayers’ Association. The East Vaughan Ratepayers Asâ€" sociation monthly meeting took the limelight in the news llastrweek. With a near record attendance the meeting opened with the reading 0f the minutes of the previous regular and special gatherings. A discuss- ion led by Mr. Bryan Bailey, chair- The meeting was brought to a suc- cessful conclusion with the Va‘ughan Women Workers under the presi- dency of Mrs. Patterson serving tea and confections. The Library Board feels that fun- damental alterations such as a new floor, the south window, and the re- finishing of walls and ceiling must be done before the room is occupied. An important subject discussed at the meeting was the question of the garbage removal which has been no- glected for the past several weeks. It was decided cartage personnel in the district would be approached with regard to this important chore so essential to public health. An early remedy to the situation is an- ticipated. It was brought to your correspon- dent’s attention last week that the children’s idol “Red” Garner has a running mate with an equal desire to organize sport activity with the object of giving- young Canada in the Richale district evening activ- ities. John Gillies is the young gen- tleman’s name and he and “Red” for several weeks now have had groups of amateur boxers taking instruct- ions in th Richmond Hill Arena. This arrangement isn’t quite satisfactory however because of the distance of the arena from the community. 11c School has now vacated the large downstairs room in the Municipal Hall and renovations will begin im- mediately. If any of these changes was left un- til a later date it would mean dis- ruption of library servrice, but by do- ing it now a fine room will be pro- vided which will last the lifetime 0f most of the villagers and further improvements will be in the book collection and the service. Tentative arrangements are un- der way for a .mammoth party for the children 011'Hallower‘en. The East Vaughan Ratepayers’ Assocâ€" iation are behind the idea and it is' hOped full plans of the afiair will appear in the next edition of thll newspaper. Plan Extensive Improvements To The Richmond Hill Library The plans announced a few weeks ago for new quarters for the Rich- mond Hill Public Library are aboum to swing into bperatfl'on. The Pub- Mr. Gillies has made arrangements to meet the school board of Richvale public school to arrange for the use of the school basement several ev- enings a week. This will enable them to have groups for organized games and calisthenics which will go a long way toward’ solving entertain- ment in the winter evenings for the small fry thus keeping them'out of mischief. We shall have more news with regard to the above next week as well as a story on the activities 0f the boxing school and the exhibitions they give in the near future. With the elimination of the stairs which have been a stumbling block LIBRARY BOARD WILL MAKE PUBLIC AI’I’EAL FO'R a FINANCIAL SUPPORT “IE-Essentials, Unity; In RICHVALE RICfiMOND HILL, ONT., THURSDAYTHURSDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1948‘ to young and old alike, 3 great in. crease is expected in borrowers. The library is already a source of inforâ€" mation and pleasure to many citi- zens for there are books on hobbies. such as gardening, interior decoratâ€" ing, photography; stories of journeys to all parts of the World for the arm chair traveller; biographies of great men- and women which serve as an inspiration; and a wide selection of current fiction, mystery stories and the classics of all 'ages. These are the questions we should ask ourselves. What does it mean t) us that our teen-agers should ac- quire a taste for reading and have an attractive .plac’éfln which to Airl- dulge this taste’ instead of develop- ing into gangs? What does it mean to us that our citizens should be well-infbrmed on public affairs, nat- ional and international, in these most troubled times? What does it mean to us to have a reservoir of the best literature and wisdom of all ages within our reach? What does it mean to us to have pleasant and worth-I while books to read during the long winter evenings? DAVIES-McINTYRE Timothy Eaton Memorial church was decorated with bronze feathery ’mums Friday evening for the mar- riage of Winnifred' Ruth McIntyre, member of [Richmond Hill High School teaching staff, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Donald F. McIntyre, Winnipeg, and Robert Adair Davies, son 'of Mr. and Mrs. G. F. Davies. Escorted to the altar by her father, the bride wore an off-the-shoulder gown of white silk velvet with fitted basque and lace medallions on the lilyâ€"point sleeves. A capelet yoke of ecru lace was sprinkled with pearls, and the same lace formed an inset front panel to the hemline. Her finger-tip veil of tulle fell from a bonnet lbrim of velvet lace and pearls, and she carried a crescent of steph- anotis centred with white orchids. Mrs. C. Malmeus, Washington, D. C. was her' sister’s matron of honor and MarjoryaLy'nn McIntyre was brides- maid. They wore gowns of golden amber and bronze faille with cascade bustle backs, and carried crescents 'of bronze feathered ’mums. Allan Carpenterrwas best man and ushers were Alexander Buchanan, J. D. Hunter and A. W. R. Robertson. At the Granite club, the bride’s mother received gowned in brown velvet with a spray of yellow orchids and was assisted by the mother of the groom wearing aqua taffeta with a corsage of yellow roses. The situation of the library, close to the High School, makes it an ideal gathering place for the teen agers, who can .find there supplementary reading for theincourses as well as recreational material. The students are already among the most con- stant readers, laying a foundation for further education and pleasure in later life. Many are residents of Vaughan and Markham townships who take advantage“of the out-of- tdwn membershp provided for them. Book buying has had to be curtail- ed this year in order to devote a large part of the library revenue to the renovation. Application has been made for a grant from the Province, and the Women’s Institute has prem- ised help from their funds raised many years ago for library purposâ€" es and carefully guarded through the years, awaiting such an opporâ€" tunity as this to contribute to a real improvement of facilities. With the present costs of material and labour these sources will_n0t be sufficient to finance the whole undertaking, and theyitizens of Richmond Hill will be given an opportunity to help by their contributions. Ask yourself these questions when the appeal :is made for additional funds to make our library a fitting centre for our growing village. SOOU'I‘ & (‘UB NE‘VQ BOYS â€" Don’t forget Apple Dav.

From April until September these boys have managed and kept cost of production records on their grain, attending summer meetings of judging and demonstration and par- tiéipating in a judging competition and exam. Mr. Ewart Stiver, grain judge at Markham Fair, also judged the sevâ€" enteen boys’ exhibits and declared Glen Hulse of Schomberg with his entry of Beacon Oats the winner with Carl Boynton of Woodbridge second and» Nelson Buchanan, Un‘i‘onville. third.

POWER CUTS SLOW TELEPHONE SERVICE, CO-OPERATION OF USERS ASKED Telephone service in Richmond Hill has been slowed up during re- cent power cuts, Ibecause operators must use hand ringing machines when the power is shut ofl“, accord- ing to S. R. VanDusen, Telephone Manager for this district. Another reason; for the slowing down of service, Mr. VanDusen said, is that many people use the tele- nhone more when the power is off. Houswives who cannot use the elec- tric stove or the vacuum cleaner dur- ing,r the shut-down use the extra minâ€" utes to call their friends, often to discuss reason for power shortage. This year‘ the team of Carl Boyn-l ton and Clare Eves will represent the Grain Club at the Interâ€"Club Grain Judging Competitions at the Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, on Oc- tober 22nd. In order to maintain service for necessary business and emergency calls, Mr. VanDusen asks telephone users to avoid making unnecessary calls during the periods when power is cut off. The= electric current that carries the conversation along the wires is supplied by storage batteries during power cuts, Mr. VanDusen explain- ed, but power for ringing has to be supplied by the operator to complete a call, and because of the larger number of calls during power shut- downs, service is necessarily slow- er. Normally, there are some 3500 calls and 450 long distance calls placed daily through the Richmond Hill exchange.

Lions Of Canada Plan Big Demonstration For Annual Moot Of Lions lnternationa‘ Last Thursday evening Richmond Hill Lions Club had as its guest speaker International Councillor Lion Louis Whitaker of Wellandy Ontario, .vho is also President of Internation- al Association of Lions Clubs (Can- ada). CANADIAN SLATED FOR PRESIDENT INTERNATIONAI ORGANIZATION NEXT YEAR Mr. Whittaker gave a most inter- esting and educational address on Lionism both in its local and Inter- nation scope. First he gave a word picture of Lions International Con- vention to be again held in New York City this year when our Can- adian Lion Walter Fisher will be- :ome President of Lions Internationâ€" a1, any outstanding honor to Canada and all Canadian Lions. Canada will at this convention put on a real show in honor of its own Walter Fisher. Canadian: Lions in uniform with Mounted! Police hats will take a prominent part in the big parade, plastic maple leaf souvenirs will be distributed and Canada will put on an entire evening’s entertainment in an endeavour to put Canada over the top and sell this great country to all the many comntries represent- ed at this international gathering. The Lions Board of International Relations are doing a real job among the nations of the world. They suvp- p’orf- United;Na:fi‘6n-s Society on““él§ its many problems to promotte peace and harmony among the na- ‘tions. Lions he said are public spirited men (business and professional) in some twenty-five countvies doing a great unselfish service in seven thouâ€" sand communities. In this organi- zation he said there is a something that prompts men to a great public service far beyond the average. In attendance alone where would you find any group who internationally could boast of 71% as was true in Lionism last year. Canadian Lions he said are striv- ing rto promote loyalty among the peoples of Canada and stamp out the evil forces that would undermine all that is good for the‘ growth and prosperity of this great yOung na- ion of freedom loving people. Can- adians he said have a problem to make Canada safe for Canadians. Let it's )not be too critical and se- vere with those who are not satis- fied with Canada. but rather let us be tolerant and endeavour to educate those who do not understand and are easily led by those who would des- troy‘Canada. This 'he stressed is the solemn duty of every Canadian Lion. Mr. Whitaker was introduced by Lion Bob Little and' at the conclus- ion of his address was thanked by Mr. Whitaker paid spectial tribute to Richmond» Hill Lions. Club fgijwits outstanding . record in attendance and its interest in Lionism.. While this is my first visit to Richmond Hill, he said, I feel very much at home, and see here the true spirit of Lionism so ably exemplified. The United Nations Society, he said, is the finest th'ing' this world has ever had and Lions Internation- al- with all its members is standing firmly behind\ _ this great _ organiza- tion. ’ ' ' “ " SALADA TEA COMPANY OF CANADA.

The Rich- mond Hill Dions Club are organizing a plan of co-operation to assist in an immediate saving of power to keep within our allocation.

Details of the plan will be made known to all users within a few days. it was quite evident that everyone had done a thorough job of ear grooming to catch the sound waves as they slid in and out of those wax- ed channels with choice tidbits of gossip about Ev’s pickles and Thora’s pups, or Beth’s bowling and Glad’s golf, with Doris‘s dates and Clara’s capers. ‘ GUILD GOSSIP (By Glad McLatchy) Curiosity and Satisfaction Nite marked the first real meeting of the Evening Guild, on Tuesday last, and t was all so enlightening and wonâ€" derful to gobble and gab‘ble in true feminine fashion, what ever would women 'do without women and whpt would we do without the Guild, was the one big thought as we listened to the report from .Rosyln for 1948.
