Anyway they’re fast and have four legs but with a pair of Fleet Foot Running Shoes on you might be able to wind the critter and yourself if you ran like Sam Hill for 20 miles. It’s no use with Rubber Boots on, they slow you down on the hills. Anyway you have to be in the mood for travelling. So we’re running a special this week on Ladies’ Dome Fastener Rub- bers, sizes 5 to 7 at 49c a pair; also clearing our broken lines in Loafers and Oxfords at $1.89. They’re good value. Boys’ Parkas, Trapper Coats and Station Wagon Coats, broken sizes, clearing at $7.95 also Boys’ Plaid Shirts at $1.49. Wonderful values. Any- way here’s hoping we can be of service to you and best wishes for a sunny week-end. Council gave Road Supt. Davis the green light on the annual or- der for calcium dust layer.

A big feature in his sales talk was the fact that no down payment was required." “We suffer from the same thing in'our part of the world,” he said, referring to the activities of “here today - gone tomorrow” salesmen. “Richmond Hill is taking the right step," said a district merch- ant recently, commenting on the suggestion advanced by the Bus- iness Men’s Association to the village council that all itinerant salesmen be required to secure a license from the police before starting their selling activities.

Police reported traffic conditions as being very good with no major accidents. We “noticed many strangers.” said Clive Bettles of Bettles Coffâ€" ee Shop in Richmond Hill. Larry Folliot of Summit View Drive-In, north of Richmond Hill, and Thorn View Restaurant in Thorn- hill, reported a similar condition, with trade being very heavy in the later afternoon and evening. Guides Change Meeting Date Last Sunday .provided a hat-b- inger of things to come with traffic on No. 11 highway reach- ing near-summer proportions. ' High temperature and bright sun- shine brought out many motorists for their first spring drive. Traffic during Sunday evening was part- icularly heavy in the southbound lanes and continued to be so until quite late in the evening. Fine Sunday Creates Near Summer Traffic Conditions On No. 11 A request was received from the Toronto and York Civilian Defence Committee asking the townshi: council to appoint a civilian co-or. dinator for the municipality. After some discussion council agreed to have the reeve and clerk intel view several prospective appointees. Frank Marritt, County Weed In- pector, spoke to council at some length concerning the county cam- paign against barberry and buck- thorn, and urged that local road- sides be kept free of the grain rust carrier. He also revealed that the county would shortly experiment with some brush spraying in Whit- church Township. tor F. J. McRae who acted on be- half orf Whifchurch Township 1n the -recent appeal case concerning the equalized assessment in the County of York, was considered exorbitant, and was shelved pend- ing investigation. HOUSES WANTED “And,” he concluded, “the devil of it all is that besides the house- wife getting stung local merchants are penalized. We pay taxes to support schools and all other forms of community enterpriseS. Not only does the housewife pay more than she need have paid but those extra dollars go out of the community rather than being kept in it to do the community’s work.” He instancad also a. percolator for which the travelling salesman got $11.95 on the same “no down payment” basis. The same article, with no differences whatever, could be bought at a local store for $6.95, he asserted. one of these door-to-door sales- men who came from Toronto for $3.98. Exactly the same thing could be bought at a local score â€"â€"the same trade name, the same size, the same qualityâ€"for $1.39.” WA. 4338 Phone 242-J The most popular saying is “Have you had it too.” Yes, the flu or whatever it is has hit nearly every home in the district and all we can say is we hope for better news next week.

The meeting which he and the deputy reeve had attended, he said, did not disclose any direct in- formation and left the feeling that it was necessary to secure a clear- er picture from “higher up.” [. Exhib‘itors’ attention is drawn to the new classes listed this year which include a class for winter Wheat open to exhibtors other than members of the 50 Bushel Wheat Club; a class for shelled corn and a class for table potatoes shown in 10 or 15 pound paper bags.

The regular classes of oats, barley, wheat, small seeds, potatoes, turnips and hay as well as the 10 bushel ex- hibits of registered or certified oats and barley are again includ- ed in this year’s prize list,'and as usual the 10 bushel lots will be sold by auction. - Competition Keen The Bacon Show which has pro- vided so much interest for the past two years will again high- Civilian defence came in for lengthy discussion wnen Richmond Hill village council held its meeting last Monday, with Reeve William Neal and Deputy Reeve Tom Taylor re- porting on meetings called by York County Council which they had attended in Toronto last week.
