Mortson was opened to the public. Housing Mr. Mortxon's new show room on the ground floor, where a space of tilt by 62 feet. will provide display room for the agricultural and other equipment which he handles. the building includes a large and well' equipped workshop in the basement, in addition to two two-bedroom ap- artments on the second floor. Built of cement block and brick. the build- ing has exceptionallv large show windows which give a very modern touch to the section of Yonge Street on which it stands â€"- a section which by the erection and modernization of this and neighbouring properties has changed appearance materially in re- cent months. On opening day various lines band- led by Mr. Mortson were effectively displayed. These included manv of the products of the Masseyâ€"Harris Company, for which Mr. Mortson is agent. also Kelvinatnr refrigeration products. Goodyear Tire and Beatty Bros. Lines. Movies First Events of the formal opening began with the showing of pictures at the Richmond Theatre. at which over three hundred were present as guests of Mr. Mortson. The programme was opened by Bill Martin, general agent for the Maswv Harris Company. who expressed the (mod wishes of his companv to Mr. Mortson. In welcoming his guests I'Y‘ll'Old Mortson, invited them to visit his new premises and reiterated his desire to he of continued service to the farmers and other arrriculturists of' Richmond Hill and district.

Beatty Brothers of Fergus, wash- \\'asn’t it Gilbert and Sullivan who, in '(mc 01' their famed operas, had one of their characters singing “A police- man's life is not a happy one." They couldn't have had Richmond Hill's new constable, Frank Moore, in mind for he seems to be quite happy about things â€" that is. except for the housing shortage which is bother- ina' him the same as several thous- and other Canadians. Nothing, it seemed to me, could il- lustrate the change in the character of a district so much as change in its policing methods. As lhave pointed out on several occaswns change is sweeping over this area like a tidal wave. For that reason 1 discuSsed modern law -. enforcement with P.C. Moore this week. It's a comparatively short time since the village council made ar- rangements with the Ontario Provinâ€" cial Police to have one of their men take over the policing of Richmond Hill. Local citizens, of course, pafy the shot through their taxes. Our new British-trained constable, who spent twelve and a half years in the world-renowned Metropolitan Police in London, England, had no- thing but praise for the way in which local citizens were coâ€"operating in law enforcement. Like every up-to- date police official, he stresses “pre- vention†rather than “punishment,†Several Innovations Already several new steps have marked Constable Moore’s regime. A complete report‘ on his activities is submitted by him to Council at its regular monthly meetings. That reâ€" port covers a wide variety of sub- jects. Last month's, for instance, told of the investigation of traffic ac- cidcnis, requests to locate people, the handling" of lost and found property, investigation of' two break-ins, the seizing of cancelled driver’s licenses on behalf of the Department of Highâ€" ways, and action in connection with a case of juvenile delinquency, among other things. ‘ Marking the new trend in ,village policing was the report by Constable Moore of his activities in checking,r business premises. At irregular in7 tervals he inspects stores, etc., after business hours to ensure that open doors and windows do not extend too ready an invitation to the light-ï¬n- gered. And, in this connection, he suggests that householders might wisely take precautions to see that; rtsidenccs are safely locked up when left unattended. There you are â€"â€" that's one of the penalties of pro- gross. Gone are the good old days when you could walk out and leave the door open for the cat. .Onc‘ of the most effective innova- tions Ill our new policing methods is the fact that Richmond Hill now has its own police car. equipped with two" \rav radio. Who said we Weren't upâ€" to-daic'? \Vith his car Constable Moore can be at the scene of trouble in a hurry and. through his radio. is constant contact with Provincial Police divisional headquarters at Aurora.

From The A COLUMN 0F VIEWS AND OBSERVATIONS (By F. J. Picking) than have such radio-equipped police cars. A record of more than fifty rapid captures has already been set up by the Ontario Provincial Police since the installation 01' radio com- munication in its squad cars. Spectacular Results Last May a police cruiser on Highâ€" way No. 8 near Rockton received a flash that a large truck containing $117,000 worth of merchandise had been stolen. Look out â€" said the flash. Within two minutes of re- ceivingr the message the police car passed the stolen truck, forced it to the side of the road, and three rob- bers were arrested. ‘ Again, when the Canadian Bank of Commerce at Thedford was robbed, radio cars played their part in ap- prehending two armed thugs, who each ï¬nished up with ï¬fteen year sentences. Here’s hoping, of course, tl at Richmond Hill doesn't ï¬gure in t e news columns through any such kind of happening. Nevertheless it‘s a good thing to feel that local citiâ€" zens and property are now protected by the use of the last word in police equipment. ‘Traï¬â€˜ic control, especially during the coming summer months, with their hectic parade of vehicles through the village, will constitute an important part of our local eon- stable’s duties. “Please observe park- ing and other traffic regulations," is Constable Moore’s message to local drivers. He points out that these regulations are not instituted for the sole purpose of collecting ï¬nes but in order to protect life and property and to give the “other fellow" a de- cent chanco to go about his activit- ies in safety and comfort. Incidentally, if you do happen to collect one of thos‘e horrible little tags for parking in a restricted area you can now pay your ï¬ne at t::. municipal hall.

H.M.S.

Thrce and half years' Royal Navv service is the price which (“on7 stable Moore paid for the string- of ribbons which he wears on his tiniâ€" t'orm as he goes about his job of protecting our citizens in peace. even as he helped them in days 01' war. ‘5 ELGIN MILLS S'I‘I'IH‘INT BOXING TROPHY WINNER ll-lvid Anng. son of" Mr. and Mrs. .1.

Such is not the case, examination of the contract under which the new wcll is being brought into being re- veals. The only expense to the village to date is: payment for materials brought to the site of the well for preliminary work. From there on the responsibility beâ€" loan to the contractors, the Inter- national Water Supply Company. The contract between that company and the village calls for the produc- tion by the completed well of 150 Imperial gallons, of clear water per minute. The amount payable for this is $8.80?) when the flow has been established to the satisfaction of the village council. Therefore taxpayers are not penalized in any way by unâ€" Ioreseen circmustanccs which result in extra work. Over and above the 150 gallon per minute flow, which is the minimum requirement under the contract, the contractors may provide additional gallonage if the wells capacity per- mits. In this case the village will pay the contractor's at the rate of $20. per additional gallon per minute. Thus, if a maximum flow of four hundred gallons per minute is ob- tained. the payment by the village to the contractors will amount to $13,- 805. It is reported that some difficulty has btcn experienced in obtaining clear water. due to the presence of fine sand. This, however, is the con- tractors' headache, and is not result- ing in any additional expense to the village. Hog Producers Annual Meeting Friday, Mar. 18 At the meeting of the Directors of the York County Hog-r Producers’ Association held last week it was decided to hold the Annual Meeting of the Association on Friday, March 18th, in the board room of the Ag- ricultural Office at Newmarket coniâ€" mencing at 10.5304 21.111.

They had both won one apiece and Friday night’s game was the deciding one. The ice was fairly good and Detroit 00k advantage of this fact and with- 1 two minutes after the ï¬rst whistle went, they had themselves two goals. The first goal was by Bob Moore who sank a nice shot from just inside the blue line. The second goal was by Youngerburg who caught the Cana- dians off guard and went in unassist- ed to beat the Canadian goalie. The Canadian team then tightened up and put on the pressure and al- though tney stormed the Detroit net and had many chances 0rd for Cana- dians seemed to keep them out. He played a good game and had some .011in shots to stop. The score at the end of the ï¬rst period was 2-0 for Detroit. The second period found the Canadians really bearing down and Detroit started to rough it up a little and so a. few penalties were handed out. Paul Atkinson, Brillinger and Tomlinson played very well and it was a pass by Brillinger that set Atkinson up for a real shot on the not to bring the score to 2â€"1. The last. half of the game was very even with sides really trying and both goalies worked well. There were no more goals through the last half of the game but it was good fast, clean hockey. Last year the Canadians won the cup and so this year we have a new winner with Detroit. Dick Mills and his gang deserve congratulations on having, the winning team as all the four teams were very evenly matchâ€" ed. The Coaches, with the help of sonic ol‘ the local women in the village are putting on their own banquet this year and there will be prsecntations of the three cups on this night. .April 1st. The presentations will be made by a pro hockey player either of the past or present and with talking pic- tures after it should be a real evcnv me". On behalf of the Coaches I would like to again thank all of you in the Villagr- who have helped us so. much. We only hope that you will be behind us for next year’s hockey. Next year we are entering a Banâ€" tam team in the O.H.M.A. and I be- lieve that our group will be made up of Aurora. Newmarket and Bradford. The same four teams will be carried on as they are this year but we are picking the older and better players out for the Bantam team and these players will not be playing in the Richmond Hill League unless they ; start to lag and then they will be sent back and another good player will have the chance of stepping up. This is the start of hockey going ahead again in Richmond Hill and as long as we can depend on your sup- port we will keep it going. Who knows perhaps in a few years we will be‘ meeting the Barrie Flyers.
