H. (Carol) Proctor, R. R. No. 1, Concession 5, Kettleby, Ont. "Liberal" Makes Interesting Reading Even After Being Splotched Up A Bit gun.--" ____. ,, “Quite by accident, a. copy of The Liberal of March 15 came here to me. A hog having been slaugh- tered. the carcass was taken to the butcher in Aurora and the liver and heart were sent back to the farm â€"- wrapped in, of all thing‘s, The Liberal -â€" It was the entire issue of that date. In a iéititertl to the éditor of The Liberal, Mrs. Proctor says: “It was a bit splotched, indeed, but since Richmond Hill is my home town, I read the paper work- ing around the splotches. The at- ticle. “Names and Businesses of Earlier Days” was especially in- terésting, having known Geordie Sims since I was a little girl, The Mr. John L. Innes mentioned was my father.” - ‘n -. 1-1 Local Boy Making Good On Television And On Records A brother of Mrs. D. Grubb, 35 Clarke Ave., Doncaster has been making a name for himself in the cowboy song circles in the Wind- sot-Detroit area. He is “Hap” Lambie, 3 Windsor fireman, who spent the first 20 years of his life in this area. and has many friends in the Thornhill and Doncaster districts. Well-known for sometime in Windsor as a composer and smger of melodies of the “Home on the Range” style, “Hap” was agree- ably surprised recently to receive an invitation to appear on teleâ€" vision over station WXYZ, Detroit and made such a good impression that he was signed on with an ar- iety show on that station. He is also a composer and has had two of his songs recorded.- His friends in this district will watch his future career with interest. ggiébhal note httached which may be of interest to Liberal read. era was as follows: “My mother Mrs. John L. Innes of Los Angeles arrived via Ameri- can Air Lines Tuesday, March 27, to stay with me. This was her first flight and at 85 yars, she was immensely thrilled â€"â€" says it is definitely the only way she will ever travel again. She plans to make her home with me.” (Continued from page 1) inspector on revision of the by-law and adjustment of his salary. The report of the inspector show- ed a total of $260,650 in building permits issued in Markham during the month of March. This includ- ed 27 houses, a service station val- ued at $25,000 for Imperial Oil Ltd. and another service station for J. W. Perkin at $8,000. May Instal Road Signs Award Contract The council gave favorable con- sideration to a proposal to instal road signs in the township similar to the street signs in Toronto and a survey will be made by Roofers Supply of Toronto, manufacturers of the signs. Ray Fawcett, representative of the company, estimated that plac- ing such signs all over the town- ship would cost in the neighbour- hood of $300 but it was not nec- essary for the council to go ahead with the entire project at the pres- ent time. There were three tenders for supplying gravel for township roads for 1951 and each 01 phe three was given work in a section of the township. F. H. Roberts was given the contract in the north-west section of the municipality at $1.50 a yard with Markham Sand & Gravel get- ting the southwest area at $1 per yard, the township to do the haul- ing in the latter case. In the two easterly sections, the contract went to Stoufi'ville Sand & Gravel at $1.12 and $1.35 a yard. The town- ship had been split into four areas for bidding purposes. Will Block Off Road The council promised considera- tion to the request of a. delegation asking that something be done to the road on the 3rd Concession south from German Mills to Steele’s Avenue. Alan King, heading the delega- tion claimed the road is virtually unuseable and if a township truck had not happened along to get them out of a ditch, they wouldn’t have been able to attend the meet- mg. They claimed the road takes a lot of punishment from sand trucks and flOOdS' out completely every spring. Council decided to block it off temporarily until they get a chance to repair it. Frank Merritt, York COuflty weed inspector, requested council to name such an official for the township in order that he might be able to attend the annual weed conference at Guelph the latter part of the month. The council de- cided to appoint William Connor to take over weed inspection over the whole township. Complaints about parking on the grass surrounding the war memorial in Unionville brought members of the village commiss- ion and the arena board before the council. Main trouble is caused at hockey games and a satisfactory solution is expected to be worked out. anu111mmm“\mummmuumuuuumuumminuuulxm\muuumuummmm11ll\1l\umll\nuumunuuumuuumnmmm1u}gmumuummmifi â€"___i a;l\umumummmu\\\\\u\\\u\\u\m\utnlumuuuuuuunmfimuumuuuuuumumuunuu\lumun1ml\nu11mummuuummunmuuuuuummg Courteous Service Telephone 9 am. to midnight Richmond Hill 649J Midnight ,to 9 am.
