Detailed discussion was postpon- ed until members had had a fur- ther opportunity of discussing the report in detail. The matter of public relations came in for a considerable amount of discussion. Councillors W. L. Clark, A. E. James and others ex- pressing the opinion that the de- liberations of council should be given the greatest possible public- ity. Arrangements were made for the dates of council and town- ship planning meetings to be ad- vertised in local papers. . A general resume of township affairs was given for the benefit of new councillors. A deputation consisting of Messrs. W. Stiv- er and W. Bartlett stated that a piece of land for the extension of the Lutheran cemetery north of Unionville was being purchased and asked if the ruling that ten feet of land for the possible widening of the road was to be adhered to. This, they pointed out, would result in a very irregularly shaped property coming into being as the present cemetery extends to the road line. Members of council were ‘outspok- en in condemning the require- ment and Councillor Clark ex- pressed his determination to back other members of the council in having this rectified. At present, under a by-law passed in 1946, when land is sold for sub-division, ten feet of frontage must be deeded to the township for road widening as and when required, After re- ceiving information on the sub- ject from Township Clerk Chas. Hoover the council laid the matter over for discussion at later date. ATM Markham Twp. Council Planning Board Following the wholesale resig- nation of the township's planning board last year after a dispute with Ontario provincial author'- ities regarding remuneration and expenses, the township has been without planning board for some months. It was suggested that the whole council should act as a planning board but final decis- ion was laid over to a later meeting. The township was without a dump at the present time, report- ed Reeve Timbers. This was another matter laid over for fur- ther discussion. Second reading was given to a by-Iaw appointing Reeve Win. Timbers, Dr. C, R. McKay and Clerk Charles Hoover as mem- bers of the Board of Health. Third reading was deferred pend- ig the selection of a sanitation ofâ€" ficer. Mrs. R. J. Laceby appeared as a deputation representing resi- dents of Kennedy Road and ask- ing for signs for the protection of children using that thoroughfare on their way to and from school. Council agreed to take the mat- ter up with the Toronto and York Road Commission. Robert J. Allen was appointed school attendance officer for the township. To Cut Road Costs? Examining road accounts counâ€" cillors queried the wisdom of maintaining such a large road staff, some of them expressing the belief that relief must be gi- ven to taxpayers and suggesting that road expenses might be low- ered. At the morning council session all members of council with the exception of Councillor Charles Hooper, at present in England, were sworn in by Township Clerk Charles Hoover. They are: Win. Timbers, reeve; Dalton Rurmney, deputy reeve; A. E. James, W. L. Clark, councillors, The invocation was delivered by Rev. Norman Rowan. Humour And ‘ HerOism Recalled Membership in the Richmond Hill Distict Wing of the Royal Canadian Air Fbrce Association is steadily growing, judging from the attendance at the second meet- ing held during December. Gregory Clark, of Star Weekly and Montreal Standard fame, was the guest speaker and told of his experiences as a war correspon- dent in the last war. Greg, a veteran and a winner of the Mil- itary Cross in the 1914-18 “do,” spent some considerable time with the RCAF as a war correspondent in the second world war. He re- counted his adventures and exper- iences while attached to No. 39 “Recee” (reconnaisance) Wing in Normandy. He had the local wing laughing loudly as he recounted some of the amusing experiences which he saw and in which he took part. He had them listening at- tentively as he told of the more serious aspects of his job, partic- ularly when he told of what he felt was the bravest deed he had seen performed in either war. It was the story of a squadron lead- er, whdse bomb-laden Typhoon, on the way to bomb a concentration of Nazi anmor, let him down. With engines dead, he was forced to make an emergency landing, but could not land in the immediate vicinity because of the concentra- tion of allied troops in the fields below, he was unable to reach base or his target and had only one alternative â€" to land on an airfield recently vacated by the enemy and known to be heavily mined. To land was inviting death, but the pilot chose this pos- sibility rather than landing on friendly troops with the chance of his two 1,000 pounders destroying his comrades. So land he did, with his wheels up, because with a belly landing he was less likely to run any great distance along . Iunior Farmers To Have Choir In York County The Directors of the York Coun- ty Junior Farmers‘ Association have decided to sponsor a .Iunior Farmer Choir as a project for the winter months and have been for» tunate in securing the services of an accomplished choir leader as director. In order to get a good start in the New Year the first practice has been called for Wednesday. January 11. at 8.15 p.m. sharp in the auditorium of the Aurora High School, Final arrangements as to the regular time and place for weekly practices will be worked out to suit the group at this meet- ing. It is emphasized that no special training is necessary as the pur- pose of the project is to :1ch inâ€" struction, Junior Farmers from all clubs in county are en- couraged to attend and take the As Local RCAF Veterans Meet the mined runways. However, the belly landing was more dangerous for him since his bombs, attached to the wings were more likely to blow him up. One did explode but fortunately the airman \vas uninjured. It took considerable time for engineers to reach him, having to examine each foot of the way to the plane, but when they did they found him calmly await- ing them. SIL Bill Pentland died in action three weeks after his heroic action. Greg told other stories of equal interest and all in all set a high mark in entertainment and serious talking. Charter Under Way Wing president Harry Sayers told members that this wing is now No. 417 and the charter appli- cation would be sent to Ottawa in the very near future. When the application has been accepted, it was hoped to hold a public meet- ing at which the official presenta- tion would be made. Other plans for public gather- ings are being examined, one pos- sibility being a band concert by the RCAF band in the spring or early summer. It was decided to hold the next meeting in the Municipal Hall on January 17. Confirmation of these details and of the program will be published in the Liberal later on. The executive has compiled a mailing list of some 80 former members of the various Air For- ces and of regular members of the RCAF and hopes to send notices of impending meetings to those on the list. Others interested in the wing or knowing of possible mem- bers are asked to notify any of the executive: Harry Sayers, Dr. \K'. D. Howe, George R. Sweeny, all of whom live in the village, and Mrs. J. N. McCarthy, wing secretary, R. R. 1, Richmond Hill. "Like Finding Gold " Says Maple Woman “It was almost like finding gold in the cellar," said a Maple wo- man to The Liberal recently. She was referring to some old furniture which had stood in the basement of her home for many years. Unwanted and unused, it was just another one of those things which stood around collect- ing dust and without paying for its keep, either in cash, pleasure or practical use. Finally she got around to put- ting an ad in The Liberals Class- ified section and, almost within a matter of hours. someone who needed the piece of furniture that the Maple Woman had no further use for had paid her cash for it. No wonder that says that it was like “finding gold in the basement." she A classified ad. is ready. ing to get results for you.

The lighter side of Elizabeth's young- er sister is described in an article condensed from Life. Margaret has become England's Joint National Debutante, the author says. supplying “roman c, color and girlish freshness to the drab national scene." If she adds a touch of impudcncc and spi‘c, too, so much more for the tax- payers' money. The royal family has always been a vicarious out- let for British working masses, so it is not surprising that Margar- et's liveliness has become a public issue. While she has some dv tractors, the masses are one hun- dred percent for her. Margaret's lovo of parties, dates and dancing until late hours, and a tendency to practical jokes are regarded with mild indulgence by the King and Queen. Her father, the Digest article says. is the more delighted by his daughter‘s fiippancies because ot his own ra- ther serious disposition. Her mo- ther, who has a sense of humor, is an occasional conspirator, and even helped to make a costume which Margaret wore to dance the can-can before $00 guests at a party given by the American Am- bassador, Queen Mary, her grand- mother, has been heard to express the hope “that marriage will have a settling effect on Margaret.” Margaret is not remiss, how- ever, the author observes, in car- rying off her royal duties “with checrfulness, tact and a polished sense of diplomacy.” Ladies Auxiliary Of Veterans Assn. Welcomes Children Christ- mas party sponsored by the Wom- en's Auxiliary of Veterans was held in the Municipal Hall on Wednesday, December ‘28. Every little girl received a beautiful (loll from Santa in person. The little boys were given a suitable gift and also the older children. Each child received a bag of candy, nuts and fruit. Games and music were enjoyed by all. A lunch was served by the ladies who would like to express thanks to H. J. Mills Ltd. for the generous gift of roses, also thanks to J. A. Greene for his annual gift of money. The annual children's Richmond Hill Women’s Institute This year the annual birthday party of the Women’s Institute will take the form of a Pot-luck Luncheon, followed by Whist. The date is Thursday, January 12. The time is 1 p.m. The place is the meeting room in the Municipal Building.
