Many people who formerly had to go to the city for their res quirements have expressed their satisfaction at being able to do their shopping at home.” “Much better than expected,” was the reply given by Bob Mans- bridg‘e, proprietor of Mansbridge’s Jewellery Store, one of Richmond Hill’s newer commercial establish- ments, when asked by The Liberal how business had progressed dur- ing the comparatively short time that it had been operating.

These films were suitable for the children and they got a big thrill out of these pic- tures and the entire program. A feature of the program which produced many laughs was the presentation of “Burlington Ber- tie" by Lion Jack Cooke accom- panied by his daughter. As an encore Lion Cooke sang “I Have a lovely bunch of Coconuts” during which he‘ bowled real coconuts ac- ross the floor to be caught by the children_ There were refreshments galore for those present and Lion Presi- dent Ty Sowden complimented the committee on the excellent pro- gram they had arranged.

Christmas invaded the activities of the Richmond Hill Lions Club with a bang. On their regu- lar meeting night before Christ- mas the , members entertained their children with a Christmas party and turkey dinner complete with all the trimmings. Children of all ages attended and along with their fathers had a wonder- ful time. The committee in charge provided excellent entertainment. Carol singing was led by Mrs. Mc- Gillivray, assisted at the piano by Lion Rand Phipps. Mr. Black, an excellent ventriloquist, with his little friend “Sandy” brought forth many laughs with his funny stor- ies and actions. That fine young pianist, Terry Young, who has charmed Lions Club audiences on other occasions earned much ap- plause with two numbers. On Saturday afternoon before Chriétmas the local Lions Club brought Santa Claus to town. The jolly fellow, accompanied by two lovely snow girls on his sled, was escorted by a wonderful par- ade through the streets of Rich- mond Hill. Hundreds of children and adults lined the parade route to welcome this happy Christmas visitor to town. The parade was led by a band of the Salvation Army and included some fine The emergency came. And by that queer fate which directs things right at the peak of the year's activities -â€"â€" the afternoon that the Christmas number was being “put to bed,” or, in layman’s language, being made ready for printing. ‘ Members of the Lions Club were saddened to learn of the sudden passing of Robert “Bob” Beatty shortly after the party had ended. Bob had assisted the ladies of the Orange Lodge in looking after Lions Club dinners for many years, and his kindly personality will be greatly missed by the members in the years to come. As a safeguard against emer gencies the paper advertised in its own classified ad columns a few weeks ago for a qualified lin- otype operator to “stand by” in case of emergencies- A .man was found through the ad. It might have taken the hart way to do it, but nevertheless The Liberal has proved to its own sat isfaction that “advertising pays" and the Liberal Classified Ads D0 bring results. - i Emergency Job Proves Truth Of Assertion 600 Children Welcome Santa On Annual Lions Club Visit 9 Richmond Hill floats.
