VOLUME LXXI. “Massacre River" which is Ihowing at the Richmond Theatre on November 18 and 19, is a story of the friendship of three men â€"â€" a. friendship welded by the hard- ships and danger of the post-Civil War Indian frontier â€" which is broken up by two women. Some of the most spectacular scenery ever brought to the screen pro- vides the background for the story and its action, which includes some amazingly exciting Indian battle scenes, Madison and Calhoun turn in unusually fine performances as soldiers brought together by the dangers of combat, then forced apart by the wiles of a woman. Johnny Sands gives an excellent characterization of the hero-wor- shipping, freshly-graduated West Pointer, new to the frontier. Glamorous Carole Mathews is the gambling-house owner who steals Madison away from the daughter of the Colonel. As the Colonel's daughter, Cathy Downs is beauty and charm combined, and both girls prove themselves fine actresses. Others in the cast are Art Baker, of radio fame, who portrays the Colonel; Steve Brodie, who por- trays the villainous partner of Carole Mathews; and Iron Eyes Cody, Cherokee Indian actor, who leads his red brothers in their av- enging raids on the palefaces. Director John Rawlins deserves top honors, not only for his fine work with Madison and Calhoun and the other members of the cast, but for the highly professional manner in which he used 500 hard- riding Navajos in hair-raising fights between the redmen, buf- falo hunters and U. S. cavalry. some . . . “Reaches heights seldom approached on the screen.

It is a portrayal that has fire, force and compelling drive, making her as the screen’s outsanding dramatic actress. Her complete mastery of the demanding role marks a climax to her distinguished career. Leo Genn is perfectly cast as the kindly and idealistic Dr. Kik, while Mark Stevens contributes his finest work to date as Miss de Havilland’s understanding hus- band.

THE DISTRICT SINCE 18 Contest For Reeve's Chai Indicated By Deciaratio Buses To Give 2O MinutelFormer MUNICIPBI Lead Rush Hour ServiceTo Hi|| T0 369k Additional Ter Relief is in sight for rush hour bus patrons. Following a discus- sion some weeks ago between T. T. C. executives and Reeves Geo. Mitchell of North York and Vern Griffin of Markham Township a check (if passengers carried has been made by the Commission. Resolutions from Vaughan and Markham township councils were also sent to the T.T.C. in which easement of overcrowding was re- quested. As a result it has been announ- ced by Reeve Griffin that a special rush hour service to Richmond Hill has been arranged and will come into operation as quickly as sched- ules can be revised. Buses will run at twenty minute intervals be- tween the hours of 5 and 7 p.m. Investigation of conditions has revealed that overcrowding condi- tions during the morning rush hours have been relieved by the addition of extra buses. It is said that a check on this situation will be undertaken again shortly. Early Christmas Present Likely For Markhamites Through Travel Profits An early Christmas present is likely to come to some property owners of Markham Township following a meeting of the town- ship council on November 15. After debating on several pre- vious occasions the advisability of paying profits from the North Yonge radial and bus lines to property owners of the first mile and a quarter east of Yonge St. â€"- the area financially responsible for the operation of the transpor- tation system â€" the council de- cided to instruct Township Clerk Charles Hoover to prepare a stateâ€" ment of amounts due from profits to these owners, Final decision as to disburse- ments of the amount, said to be in the neighbourhood of $72,000., will be made at a council meeting to be held on Friday, November 18. A slashing attack by Reeve Vern. Griffin on the township’s solicitor featured the meeting. He intimated that conflicting rulings and conversations regarding the legality of making such payments had left him “fed up.” “I’m not going to take it any longer," he asserted, asking councillors to give consideration to the securing of another township solicitor. While supporting him in principle, mem- bers of the township council ag- reed to lay the matter over until Friday and to seek a clear ruling from the township’s legal adviser in the meantime. Municipalities Use Profits The discussion brought out the fact that in Vaughan Township profits from the operation of buses and radials had been applied to reduction of taxes for property owners one and a quarter miles west of Yonge Street â€"- the in- dividuals who were resonsible for the meeting of defiicits in the transportation system’s less pal- my days. In Richmond Hill bro- fits have been placed in the mun- icipality’s general funds, as all property owners are responsible for the line’s operation through the village council. In Markham township profits have been placed in the corpora- tion’s general funds, but a. separâ€" ate accounting has been kept thereof. Some three years ago a part of the profits accumulated at that time had been disbursed to interested property holders. Contradictory, Says Reeve Within recent days, said Reeve Griffin, he had been approached by people who had sold their real es- tate and had been asked for a re- fund of the profits due. The sol- icitor, he claimed, had at one time advised that there was no clear authority for paying out the pro- fits and at another time, the reeve alleged, had said that “it would be a good move to give it back.” “Something is radically wrong somewhere,” said Councillor Har- ry Barber. “If we were right in paiyng out money from bus pro- fits three years ago then we are wrong in not doing it today. Where do we stand now? And if other municipalities are paying out pro- fits why are we not doing so?" he asked. A search of by-laws and other legislation left the council with- out further information as to the legality of the proposed disburse- ment. It was agreed that on Fri- day night a final decision would be made, with most councillors evi- dently favouring a rebate to prop- erty owners. Sale Of Radial Line Brings Nearly $26,000 Village Share $5,900 With More To Come ssertions made during the per- iod when the bus vs. radial vote was the local “question of the hour" to the effect that little money could be expected from the sale of old track and equipment have not been borne out by circum- stances. On ihe insistence of reeves 0f the owning municipalities who form the board of directors of the transportation system the Toronto Transportation Commission called for tenders for purchase and re- moval of track and other material. Tenders Clost on November 7 and, at a meeting of caves and T. T.C. executives on November 15, awards were made. An extraordiiiui‘ily wide range was exhibited in the various bids. Nine tenders in all were received. The highest bid was accepted in each C839. The Andrew Mci'i'ilecs Company of Toronto was high bidder for complete :rackagc of the system and the Haggis Hollow radial line bridge. Amount of the tender was 321002.99. The lowest tender re- ceived was for 9500. only. Frankel Brothers, also of Tor- i'eeve of each municipali: w- i-.. all wire and Lo‘wtst bid was $5 01110, iii} 91, for trolley feeders. Tenders for sub-station equip- ment at Willowdale ranged all the way from $200 to a high of $2,550 submitted by General Salvage Co. of Toronto. To Be Divided Total of the tenders was $25,- 679.99 which will be divided among North York, Vaughan and Mark- ham Townships and Richmond Hill village according to their interest in the system. Richmond Hill will receive $5.- 905, North York township will benefit to the extent of $14,124., and Vaughan and Markham town- ships will each receive $2,825. till to come will be money from the sale of the \Villo'w'dale sub- station. Negotiations for its pur- chase are being conducted with the Hydro Electric Power Commission and a substantial sum i: expected. Old rails, poles and equipment are to be removed at once by the successful tendorers. who under- take :0 do this as part of the bids without further cost. The draft of a new agreement covering operation of the North Yonge bus line is being sent to the y by the T.T.C. at once, Afier they have had time to consider it a further 1 meeting will be held before the agreement is completed in order to clear up any controversial points. Telephone Company Appoints New Agent In Thornhili Village S. R. YanDusen, Bell Telephone manager for this region announ- ced this week that Mr. H. Harley, druggist, Yonge St, had been ap- pointed local representative for the Bell Telephone Co. of Canada at Thornhili. On and after Tuesday, November 1949, all enquiries regarding telephone service and payment of accounts should be directed to Mr. Harley. The telephone number re- mains the same, 130. The change is being made in order to provide more space in the Company's exchange building for the installation of additional switchboard facilities. 0:) _..., Liberal Classified Advertisements Bring Results Reeve of Richmond Hill from 1933 to 1939 inclusive, and again in 1943, J. A. Greene has announ- ced his intention of running for the reevcship of the municipality in the elections to be held on Dec- ember 5. While it appeared until recently that this year's election would be a relatively quiet one, with main attention centred on the plebiscite which will decide whether the vill~ age is to have a sewerage system in the near future or not, it now looks as if voters will have several questions to decide. The present incumbent, Reeve Percy C. Hill, announced his in- tention of standing for office again two weeks ago. While other names have been mentioned in street-corner conversations, it is generally conceded that contes- tants will be Reeve Hill and ex- Reeve Greene. The declaration by Councillor Cecil Mabley that he would not seek re-election to the village coun- cil ensures a contest for places on that body. All other councillors, Tomlin, Middleton, Taylor, have stated their intention of running, In a statement to The Liberal Mr. Greene said: “My reasons for again seeking office are based on the very rapid growth ‘of the vill- Led Canada’ Against Nazi German To Be In Hi_|| On Frid AVM Brookes Air Vice Marshal G.

For instance,” said, “I believe that we should ‘ cure help from the Dominion a Provincial governments in such matter as the installation of se ers, geeause of the fact that have people coming from 0t parts of the country to make th home here." “In 1935,” said Mr. Greene, “ tried to put in a. sewerage syst which would then have cost us 0 $83,003, and in connection w' which we would have secured f eral and provincial help.
