Building Permits Continue To Show Upward Trend New Committees Named By Liens Extend Crippled Children Work Richvale Junior, Louise Birchall, Has Extraordinary Artistic Record This story is about ten year old Lucille Birchall of Richvale. Last week Lucille was informed she _had won her fifth honor diploma fiom the London College of Music (London, England) for her Speech and Drama exam, Advanced Interme- d.ate Grade. The average estimated cost of the hundred and ten new residences '1) Va ghan Township for which per- mits have been issued during the cur- rent year is $5,702.00, figures recently released/by H. C. H. Miller, township building inspector, indicate. A breakdown of 1949 permits issued shows that the majority of new homes fall into the four to six thousand d01- lar class, approximately fifty of the hundred and‘ten being in this cate- gory. Next heaviest bracket is the six to eight thousand group, which takes in twenty-one new buildings. Five projects are in the nine to ten thousand dollar class and seven are in the ten thousand plus group. The average amount estimated for a new home has risen from $5,185.00, the figure for 1948, to the present fig- Lucille says her progress is due to her wonderful teacher, Miss Beth Lockerbie B.L.I., who is a radio ac- tress who works very hard with her. )Iiss Lockerbie also put her through her speech and drama exams at the Lucille started her dramatic les- sons at the age of six and has made rapid progress since. The exams are very difficult in fact they are rated as university work. Participating in the doubles tourn- ament at Tottenham on July 6th, Mrs: J.

These committees have been set up to serve this community in every possible way. The Crippled Children Committee is a new one and should perhaps be outlined. The Lions Club has set this committee up in co-op- eration with the Ontario Society for Crippled Children and covers the area from Langstafl" on the south to the King side-road on the north and the second concessions of each town- ship east and west. If any citizen in the area knows of a crippled child in his district he should contact the chairman of this committee, Lion Ed Butlin at Richmond Hill 265M.

It bears no date and nothing on it indicates the country of its origin. The possibility is that it was issued â€" as was often the practce in olden times â€" by some local storekeeper. In good pl‘eserVation, the coin bears on one side the words: “No Labour, No Bread." In the centre is shown a man working on an old- fashioned threshing floor floor. The spot at which the coin was found, says Mrs. Savage, is. believed to be an old Indian burying ground. Mounds which are to be seen there lend some authenticity to the belief and, in addition, a number of arrow heads have been found in the vicinity at various times.

She passed each year on her year’s work and was ready for High School at the age - of twelve.

A slight change, due to provincial regulations, is being made in the ages at which children may enter school. They must be five years old on September 6th, the date on which school starts, before they can be ac- cepted for kindergarten, instead of September lst, the date previously announced by the local board. A flow of sixty gallons a minute was proved last week by J. N: Sni- der of Woodbridge in the well drill- ed for the Thornhill swimming pool. It removed all doubt of the ade- quacy of the water supply for the big pool. Harry Upton, the general contrac- tor, expects to start work this week on the building that will house the baths, locker rooms._.and other equip- ment. Most of the'contracts 'for the work have been let by the Vaughan Township Recreational Committee and it is expected the pool will be open before school resumes in the fall.
