Not much of a synopsis is need- ed for the picture to be shown at the Richmond Theatre on Friday and Saturday, October 14 and 15. Labelled “adult entertainment" is “Forever Amber," showing on Monday and Tuesday, October 17 and 18, and starring Linda Dar. nell, Cornel Wilde, Richard Greene and George Sanders. One of the movie sensations of all time, the play is based on the spectacular novel by Kathleen Winsor â€"â€" a novel which sold more than two million copies, running to thirty-two editions in nine -dif- ferent languages. Its initial print- ing was 150,000. copies â€" twenty times as many as for the average first novel. The title â€"- “The Babe Ruth Story” â€"â€". tells it all. With Will- iam Bendix playing the title role the film gives a “play by play” description of the career of the Bambino. With Cary Grant, Franchot Tone, Diana Lynn and the new “find,” Betsy Drake, in the stellar roles, Don Hartman’s production, “Every Girl Should Be Married,” for RKO Radio, offers a brightly entertaining comedy-romance to theatregoers. Miss Drake plays the heroine, a modern maiden with a conviction that the conventional system, un- der which a. girl is supposed to sit around meekly until some man asks her to marry him, is utterly unfair. Accordingly, she decides she’ll pick out the man she wants and go after him, and she does. rrfiaseball fans, of course, won’t miss this one. The film itself was two full years in preparation â€" took 125 days to photograph, 229,000 feet of Technicolor film, 22 exterior sets, 102 interiors ,a production crew of 1,000, went into the mak- ing of the picture.

Her victim is a prominent doc- tor, and she plans a careful cam- paign of enticement, including a scheme to arouse his jealousy. But the various steps get mixed up, and the outcome is a contin- uously hilarious funfest.

Know Your Neighbour , One day back in 1941 he came into town from his farm to get a hair-cut. He met the former Massey Harris man â€"â€" a conversation ensued -â€" and first thing Mr. Mortson knew he was in business. _ It’s a business which has increased tremendously since the day he took it over. Volume in 1948 was fourteen times what it was in 1941. In the early days of the Mortson re- gime one man worked part time on. service. Now it takes four men, besides Harold and his wife, to run the business. Two of them work full time on service. and, says Mr. Mort- son, he’s going to have to add another mechanic very shortly. Coming from a family which has lived in the Victoria Square district for over fifty years, Mr. Mortson spent the earlier days of his life -â€"- thirty-two of them to be exact â€" in farming. He started at it as soon as he left Victoria Square schoolga-then afterwards~11'e11ted a place when he mar- ried Evelyn Neill of Richmond Hill, with whom he had gone to school. Incidentally, says Mr. Mortson, much of the suc- cess of his present business must be attributed to the part which she has played in it. vnuwv v..- -- -_-‘.. In a sense that is partly true of HAROLD MORTSON, pictured above, Massey Harris dealer of Richmond Hill and known to many hundreds of agriculturists in the district which his business serves. Since coming to the Hill in 1941 the Mortsons have built up a reputation for service which brings customers in all the way from faraway places such as Churchill, Sutton, Claremont and Woodbridge. Backing that service is a parts department which is said to be the biggest of its kind north of Toronto. - Even with all the planning a man does about his career, sometimes it‘s the little, seemingly inconsequential things that turn the tide. Most notable of the changes which he has seen in the implement business since he started in 1941, says Mr. Mort- son, is the changeover to the combine. Last year he sold six of this type of farm machinery, three the year before that, and in 1949 six have already been delivered. It’s not- able that, in spite of the introduction of the combine, he has delivered six big threshing outfits this year as well. Besides the Massey Harris line Mr. Mortson is carrying in his big new building â€" one of those which has so materially improved the appearance of Richmond Hill’s business sec- tion â€" Beatty, Kelvinator and several other manufacturer’s products, in addition to a full line of farm hardware. Al- though not very many people knew it, the largely-attended reception whi h he gave at the opening of his new building on March 15 appened to be a birthday party â€" his own. The service of admission of members to the W.A. was taken by the Rector, who also cmducted the election and installation of officers. The next meeting will be on Tues- day, October 25. at 8 p.111. The third group to be organized will be the A.Y.P.A.

T In order that as many groups as possible may be given a place in the work and fellowship of the Church, three new organizations have or are about to be organized. A group to be known as the Girls' Auxiliary has been organized by the Diocesan Organizer and is now in full swing under the leadership of Mrs. D. J. Brownlee, assisted by Miss M. Carter and Mrs. W. Banks. This group of young girls will meet on Saturday afternoon at 2 o’clock in the Parish Hall and will work for badges in several sub- jects. A member of the Lions Club, he is one of the 1949 direc- tors of that organization. The picture of Mr. Mortson, like all others in this series, wasdtaken by Edmund Soame of “The Studio,” 1720 Avenue Roa . The‘second group, the Evening Branch of the WA. was organized on Tuesday of this week, when Mrs. Fraser, Diocesan Organizer for Evening Branches, was present and explained the WA. program The new branch started off with twelve members and the following ofl‘icers: President, Mrs. Henry; vice-president, 'Mrs. Hart; Dorcas secretary, Mrs. Speight; secretary, Mrs. Munroe; treasurer, Miss Mason. of admission October 16, after the Evening Ser- vice.

He suffered two fractured legs, a fractured ankle, a shoulder-bone fracture, head abrasions and slight concussion. The boy dashed from the roadside into the path of a southbound car driven by George Burnett, 44, of Boon Ave., Toron- to, who told police he had seen him on the roadside and next near the front of his car. Police thought Rickey had hit the left corner of the front bumper. The car was stopped within a few feet of the impact which occurred a few yards from the Belknap home.

Organizer RICHMOND HILL, ONT., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1949 The speaker was introduced by‘ Lion Hugh McKay, who gave a resume of the many activities in which Mr. Edmison was and is still engaged, indicating that he is one of Canada’s busiest men. In Mr. Edmison’s opening re- marks he paid tribute to Lions in their support of Sports College of the Air, in which he imself was interested and also paid a very special tribute to our own Lions International President Walter Fisher, with whom he had come in contact on a number of occas- ions. is the most important thing to all of us in this Atomic Age. If the U.N. idea ever fails, he said, then nothing matters, it alone can se- cure world peace. We must give the U.N. our full support and in so doing, he said, “Let’s do some- thing about International under- standing instead of just talking about it. It is made up of the World’s people and is the Parlia- ment of Man. The world today, to foster and preserve world peace needs friendly internation- al understanding among its peop‘e and only the U.N. can give that undestanding.” He fully explained “What it is,” “What it does,” and “How it works.” In introducing his subject, “Canada and the United Nations,” Mr. Edmison said that the U.N. The idea behind this great or- anization is to maintain interna- tonal peace and security‘jo develop friendly relations among“ nations, based on equal rights and self- determination of people, and to take measures to strengthen peace, to encour‘age respect for human rights and freedom for all without distinction of race, sex, language or religion.

International Reputation In linking Canada with the UN. he said, Canada today has really an international reputation of very high standing and we as Canadians should be vitally inter- ested in what éur representatives are doing in the U.N. There are two world organiza- tions in the U.N., he said. Number one is the “World Health Organi- zation,” with headquarters at Gen- eva, under the direction of a Can- adian, Dr. Chisholm â€" a great honor to Canada. This section is Toronto General HOSpital. Bur- nett told police he was travelling not more than 15 miles per hour. Constable Aubrey Fleury, Aurora, investigated. No charges were laid. Reconstruction of the ac- cident revealed that Rickey had left the house only a few minutes to play with a neighbor’s child, who said he suddenly left the yard where. they had been piling leaves into imaginary houses, and darted to the road. Dr. Phair was summoned and fortunately Dr. W. A Scott, Toronto, was a guest at the Belknap home at the time of the accident. Mr. Burnett, his wife and uncle were returning leisurely to Toronto after a few hour’s trip through the country- side. really an International Medical Health Association.

An offer of purchase for $2,500. cash was made by the veterans and accepted by council, with Reeve Vern. Griffin being authorized to sign the necessary documents. Ag- reement to let the township leave its garage on the property for a period of five years was reached. The matter of a water supply for the southern part of the town- ship which was discussed by council some weeks ago, is likely to come up for furter consideration at the -council’s regular meeting next Monday. During the late afternoon a traffic count revealed an average of 29 cars per minute, or 1,740 per hour, passing south through Rich- mond Hill. The flow increased during the evening and it is es- timated that the summer records of 2,300 per hour southbound was nearly reached.

JACK SMITH, Thanks! Publisher. Maple And Thernhill Lions Women’s Institute Members Given Credit For Fine Aid In that period 2,094 citizens of the district passed through the clinic. Although the number ex- amined showed decrease from that of the former survey, officials in charge attribute this to the fact that a number of oldeL people, once having been examined and found to be in good condition, felt that a further check-up was un- necessary. Cooperation was the keynote of the X-ray survey which was con- ducted in Richmond Hill for f0ur days, concluding last Friday.

A large ball room, used for meetings and parties, used to occupy the space above. ‘ The troop was organized in 1930, its first scoutmaster being Rev. David Marshall of the Pres- byterian Church. The present scoutmaster is Donald M. Fettes, a. man who knows what service means. He joined the RCAF in 1942, trained as a Flight Engin- eer, and saw two years’ service overseas in heavy bombers.
