To Honour Service Men The full name of the venture is the Thornhill Community and Memorial Centre. The memorial aspect will be indicated by tablets Final cost of the swimming pool unit will be $83,000., officers of the club say, but mest of the mon- ey is already in hand. While the Lie 5 only started fundâ€"gathering in Kpril they have already raised an additional $35,000. Much of it came from local citizens, six hundreld of whom rolled in a con} siderable amount. A street dance, the rafflin‘g of a car at the Can- adian National Exhibition, also brought in a large sum. Progress toward that end is be- ing made as the first unit of the ambitious plan â€"â€" the swimming pool â€" nears completion. Before the project reaches finality a bowling green, athletic field, ten- nis court and arena will have been added, all being built on the ten acres of village property which has been allotted to the centre. It had its origin when Gordon Leitch offered to donate $30,000. if the local Lions Club would un- dertake to handle the venture. Other citizensTGeorge McCullough and C. L. Burton, joined with him and, in consequence, the Lions had $40,000. in hand when they 'agreed to take 0n the job. / ELECTRICAL CONTRACTING RADIO & ELECTRICAL REPAIRS FARM WIRING A community centre second to none in the Dominion is the goal of members of the Lions Club, Thornhill, and other citizens.

Those birds took a first and a 2nd at Woodbridge. Father and daughter had a total of twenty-one birds entered in the two fairs and captured altogether fourteen prizes. .But “Daddy” didn’t do so badly, either. He won five seconds and two thirds at Markham and, at Woodbridge, captured three 'sec- onds and one third with his Wyar'i- dotte and Buff Orping\ton birds. Young Carol, who looks after the birds with the exception of cleaning out their pens, captured a first: and a second at Markham and took a first at Woodbridge. Elgin Fanciers Dad & Daughter Capture Prizes “I beat Daddy again,” said three-year-old Carol Smith of Elgin Mills, when she spotted the tags which said “First Prize” on the bantams which were entered in her name at Markham and Woodbridge Fail Fairs. Junior Champion These winners represented high other classes. The main swimming pool is‘tn be 100 feet long, b0 feet wide, and ten feet deep at the diving end. A Low maintenance cost after compl’etion has Been one the goals of the committees in c arge of the work .md for that reason additional money has been spent during construction ‘in order to lessen operating costs later. The swimming pool will be completed shortly and, while it will not be in use as such until next spring, will serv§\ a useful purpose during the coming win- ter. It will contain a reserve of 150,000 gallons of water during the winter months to be used as a reservoir in case of fire. This feature of the pool raised the cost of the project by some $4,500., but wfi carried out to provide a summer and winter fire protective measure. There is a likelihood of a system of hydrants being in- stalled throughout the village. in order to give the maximum pro- tection against fire. Stress Low Maintenance Working with the township of Vaughan, which has co-operated to the fullest extent since the out- set, a Township Recreational Committee was formed and the Lions Club has workediclosely with this committee. at the entrance to the swimming pool. donated by the Women’s In- stitute, honouring the men and women who served in the two world wars. female award. also weré well on the lists in Robinson (N), Orr (RH). 440 Relay. 50 110 sec.: Aurora, Richmond Hill and Newmarket tied.

Much Done By Few The Lions Club of Thornhill, which has been handling the pro- ject, is not a large institution. It has only fifty-five members but, so great has been local co-operation, this'comparatively small group has been able to accomplish what has been done up to the present time, plus carrying- on other club activities.
