THE HOME PAPER 01“ THE DISTRICT SINCE 1878 At the recent Barrie Kennel Club Show, Bette Svanfelt showed Irish Setter, Sir Patrick of Londonderry, and at the Gluelph Dog: Show on May 24th, he was again shown and each time won additional honours to- wards his championship. Bob Svanâ€" felt also showed Irish Setter. Belle of Killarney, winning 3 firsts and going best of winners. Local Dogs Triumph At Guelph and Barrie Better human relations was the timely topic of the Rev. Richard Jones, of the World Council of Chris- tians and Jews, speaking to the Richmond Hill Lions at their reg- ular meeting last Thursday evening. The purpose of his organiation was to bring about. harmony among all races and creeds in the world and Christians and Jews in particular. For the.first time in the Club the applause‘at the end of an address was so long that it had to be ter. minated by the president’s gavel. Canada as a nation has less pre- judice within its social structure tha'p'any other country in the world, he declared. Yet even in this en- lightened model of democracy there exist some racial anim0sities and misunderstandings. With tens of thousands of foreign immigrants arriving each year the need for de- veloping understanding between ra- ces became even more important. Most of these people snoke no Fing- lish or French and their problems of reâ€"establishment were made great- er by the coldness and lack of un- derstanding by native and other Canadians. Outstanding Address Brings Unusual Applause From Lions The community, Mr. Jones emâ€" phasized, was the beginning of the realization of the aims of the world.‘ Within the commrnitv itself were! the keys to the complete understan-' ding between all races and, ereeds. The maintenance of our high stan- dard of living, the defeat of world Communism1 and the heartfelt wish of every human being, world peace, Horticultural Society Dispiay Outstanding In Size & Quality The power of the press, plus supâ€" port of genuine flower lovers, of which Richmond Hill can proudly boast, accounted for the overwhelm- ing success of the Tulip Show, held in the Auditorium of the Public ‘SChOOi§;-0n“;Sflfill_1ߤ " - I A ‘1%b31'd"’§iifi"§7 “of” exhibits was notedfas well as exhibitors, whose enthusiasm and knowledge of the finer things of life, was‘ quite apparâ€" ent. Specimen tulips were precisely chosen and intelligently displayed; the collection of other flowers and shrubs together with arrangements was a sight to behold. and the finesse of the miniature arrangements be- Spoke the patience and fine artistry of feminine fingers. During the judging the audience was privileged to hear and become acquainted with local garden experts, including Mr. Len Rice, who gave a very informative talk on landscape gardening, a subject with which he is most familiar, and Mrs. Wm. Banks, a noted authority on flower arranging, who enlightened the members on special points in this attractive hobby. Other prizewinners are as follows: gpecimen tulip, Mrs. A. Bales, Mrs. . B.

Rev. Dr. Willard Brewing: preached to a large congregation at evening; service on May 22nd. A beautiful service was greatly enhanced by an excellent choir which rendered three special selections. Brought up in the Reformed Episâ€" copal Church, Dr. Brewing has min- istered to large congregations in the United Church, first in Vancouver and latterly in St. George’s Church, Toronto, where he has gathered to- gether one of the largest congrega uons in the denomination with a membership of well over two thou sand. His theme on Sunday evening centred in the words “Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it; except the Lord keepeth the city, the watchman wak- eth in vain.” It was 4a telling crit- icism of the futility of the modern emphasis on “power politics” espec- ially in international affairs, and a powerful appeal for the suremacy of the spiritual forces in building up an abiding, communal and national Over 200 Attend High School Dance life The auditorium was gain decor- ated in shades of pink, yellow and blue with evergreens and shrubs, loaned through the courtesy of En- dean Nurseries, giving the room a garden effect.

The number of floats and decorated trucks created a record and the appreciation of the crowds which watched rewarded busin- ess men who had put in much time and effort on dressing up their vehicles. While it would be idle â€" and perhaps a little unfair â€" to single out any entry for special mention yet it is hard to omit reference to the Bedford Park Floral Company flout with its beautiful display of roses, emblematic of Richmond llill’s place as the rose-growing centre of Canada. The old bus, for many years one of the Hills principle methods of com- munication with outside points. and its four horse team attracted much at- tentien as. after many years. it again made its way up the main street. To the Women's Institute, to the Lions Club and indeed to all those 1whose entries helped make the parade a success, much credit is due. C011- ‘tributing notably to the liveliness of the event was the band of the Queen’s York Rangers, York County's own unit, which led the parade. And, of course, the clown and his horse who kept spectators in a happy frame of mind must not be forgotten. It was certainly a show for thel youngsters. Our bet is that many 0 H! Class 14: Sec.
