On this thoroughfare we are in the company of all classes who work hard and contribute much to Canada’s prosperity. We count it a privilege to serve them daily and to assist in the attainment of their goals. We know of no higher ambition than to continue to serve the people on Canada’s Great Main Street.

The daydream was substantiated ,with the sound of the Richmond Hill fire truck roaring into the school ground. There was a fire in the school right enough but not of .the proportions the children hoped fey The painters are in the process of brightening the exterior of the school and part of the operation entails,the burning off of old paint. A hole in the bottom of a window frame allow- ed a piece of burning paint to get behind the frame. The painters had the situation well in hand, however the fire department was called as an additional safety measure. The dam- age was confined to a small area of char-red window framing and a piece of damaged plaster where a hole was made to facilitate extinguishing the flame. Tough luck children ~â€" school in September as usual. On Wednesday evening of this week the local members of the Cana- dian Legion held an organization meeting in the Ric-hvale Public School. Mr. Horton of Yongehurst Ave. presided and several district commanders and members of the Le- gion governing group were in atten- dance. It is hoped an active post of this important veterans’ society will operate in the Richvale area. The present members have expressed a willingness to participate in the construction of the community hall, which they‘will use until such time as they may have a building of their 0 \V n The latest developments in the question of a school area for the im- mediate vicinity appear to have left the early formation of an area hang- ing in the breeze. It appears that Markham township won’t agree to letting one of their schools enter the proposal until the/question has been put to a vote of the taxpayers. We are somewhat bewilderd by this turn of events. At the first mention of an area including Richvale we more or less understood the people would decide by ballot as to whether or not; then the Vaughan council af- ter a lengthy debate decided them- selves without aid of public vote to form an area comprising Thornhill, Langstfiifl“ and Richvale. This was done, we understand, with the sanc- tion of Queen’s Park which advised that the school section of Thornlea would be in the area. However Markham council say the people must decide and so we have a stalemate â€" Oh well, let us see what will develop.
