It may take the form of a banquet to be held in Weston in September. More de- tails later. The annual banquet of District No. 6 Milk Producers held on Ap- ril 4, at Buttonville was again a real success. The splendid cater- ing of the Buttonville Institute has always been a big drawing card but many pronounced this year’s Dan- quet the best effort yet. Milk Producers Told Of Importance Of Agriculture In National Economy George Smith, the president, proved a very able toastmaster. The guests, introduced by the district director E. A. Buchanan, included, beside the'guest speaker, President W. H. Hoiles of the Tor- onto Association, secretary-manag'- er W. H. Wilmot and several of the neighboring directors and their wives. The guest speaker, Rev, W. A. Young_ Chaplain of O.A.C. kept the audience laughing most of the time with his sparkilng humour but also managed to drive home his theme, the importance of Agriculture to the economy of this country and also the tremendous need for great- 1y increased food production in countries that can produce it, if Know Your Neighbour (Continued from page 2) \- they have learned how to live the more complete life. It may be said of some of them that their. ability to live contentedly and happily is their most outstanding char- acteristic. And it is a treat to meet such folks. They are not self centred. The interest they manifest in man- kind is genuine and motivated by a spirit of benevolence. Their point of view with respect to community and nat- ional affairs is also without mercenary objective. r The world would be a better place in which to live if even fifty per cent of its inhabitants could be so described. And one may well say of their lives: Sic itur ad aStra. “Winston Churchill is one of those souls. So, too, was Franklin D. Roosevelt and William Lyon Mackenzie King, and every community, able to boast of such a fav- orite son, is justified in considering itself certain there is one in Richmond Hill, and possibly there are a score or so entitled to the distinction. But the man we have in mind just now is William Davies. He is known to many people. He is honored by many people, and his influ- ence upon their lives and upon the life of the community is beneficient. “Not so many years ago there was a Santa Claus in Richmond Hill. That was before the war when there was variety in toys and gifts for children. William Davies, of course, was the Santa Claus, not to further his personal business, but because .he likes children, likes to see a smile light up their faces and a sparkle come into their eyes, and because there have been years when if there had been no sort of quasi-public Santa Claus in Richmond Hill, there would have been no St. Nicholas in the lives of many youngsters except the mythical person about whom they might be told in school or elsewhere. There was a William Davies in Toronto 3 quarter of a century or so ago. He was a stout hearted Brit- isher who came from the Hebrides as a boy and his name was J. Ross Robertson. He was a newspaper publisher and one of the many fine things he did was to found the Hospital for Sick Children. And every Christmas for many years he was Santa Claus to the hospitalized youngsters, just as our own William Davies has been Santa Claus to our own little ones when opportunity permitted. - “But there is more than one point of similarity be- tween the characters of the two men. J. Ross Robert. son would never let his right hand know what his left hand did, and although often asked and urged to do so-he would never accept any public service. Will- iam Davies is much that type of citizen. A premier of Canada, recognizing the civic worth of the Toronto pub- lisher, once offered him a combination of senatorship and he declined just as William Davies would decline if the little Gremlins, as the airmen call them, who seem to govern our destiny had guided Mr. Davies’ feet along paths similar to those trod by Mr. Robertson. “Modesty, however, is not the only characteristic of the Britisher that is exemplified in the life of William Davies. John Bull is pictured sometimes as a bulldog. He fears no foe and he doesn’t let go when he is deter- mined to hold to something. Ten million Hitlers could not have upset British ideals. Nor could they have made the British people quake or tremble, tOpple over and cry for mercy or promise never again to celebrate Christmas with roast beef and plum pudding. And these are qualities Britishers, such as William Davies have brought to this country and have helped make a part of our national life. y “We have these things and many others for which to be thankful to our William Davies group of citizens because citizens of this Dominion they have become in every sense of the word. If it was not for their tradi- tions and their unconquerable spirit, there wouldn’t be much left of our Dominion today. ‘Land of hope and glory’, are not words without meaning.” successful year.

Mr. Hoiles and Mr. Wilmot brought greetings from the Tor- onto Board and outlined what Was being done to insure proper mark- eting of our product. Th Sophisticettes, Marjorie and Edith Waters of Toronto who pro- vided entertainment, added much to the merriment of the evening. Some of the members sharing the spotlight with them were Jim Weir.

P mittee: Mrs. ’hiIlips' Mrs. Mrs. Murray, A tiny, frame chapel which serves as the parish church of St. Edward’s in Lansing, is to be re- placed with a substantial brick church by the Roman Catholic congregation of the community. Within the last two years, the congregation has doubled and the little church which once served as a rural mission parish centre has become totally inadequate. Lansing Catholics Making Plans To Build New Church So crowded has it become that five masses are necessary each Sunday morning to accommodate the congregation and even at this people are forced to sit within the sanctuary rail and to stand in the back of the Church.. A meeting of the parishioners recently elected Fred Fenn, gen- eral chairman, and decided upon a house-tmhouse canvass for funds. Serving a large area, the parish pastor, Rev. F. J. Flannagan, has found the same problems facing him as suburban pastors of c'nur- ches in all the Toronto suburbs. The growth has been so swift it has taxed facilities far beyond their limits. St. Edward’s parish last year built a new separate school .and, within a year of its opening, the local school board had to finish plans for a four- room addition. It was announced that property had been acquired, on the east side of Yonge St. a block norm of Spring Garden Ave., for the erec- tion of a brick church and rectory. It is planned that the church will seat 500 to 600 persons. The organizing committee was formed at a large meeting and decision was taken to call on ev- ery parishioner. The parish lim- its extend from the city limits to (Steele’s and-from east of Bayview to Bathurst. David McLean, Limited, Real- tors, 'I‘hornhill, have opened an office in Stouffville with Murray Sinclair, a native of that town as manager. Open Stouffville Office This is the fifth office to be opâ€" ened by the McLean Company, now embracing through extended bran- ches an almost complete Southern Ontario coverage. Mr. Sinclair, a one-time employ- ee of the Canadian Bank of Com- merce of Stouffville, was employed in the insurance business, prior to his recent appointment.

Specific complaints were directed to the surfaces of Elm- wood and Baker Aves. and also to the drainage problems on those streets and others affected. Mem- berg were assured that tihere was still work to be done on Elmwood and Baker Avenues and it is hoped that the surface would be greatly improved and that the ditching would be satisfactory. (Continued from page 1) meters would be carried out. Mrs. Croft It was reported that Henri-f Park subdivision authorities had complained about water from streets in Elmwood Park flooding certain areas in that section and had gone to the Township Council about it. Members strongly criti- cised the necessity of doing the work twice and felt better sup- ervision would have ensured that the work was properly done in the first place. Referring to Palmer Ave. it was reported that there was a 33-foot allowance for it on Harding Park but that Mr. J. Teetzel who is de- veloping the subdivision, did not want to assume a share of the cost of developing the road allowance. He was reported to have said all Harding Park lots on Palmer Ave. had been sold under NHA. Some Flood Problems Some members also reported that the ditching on Markham Rd. was not satisfactory. In addition the apparent lack of a culvert at Law- rence Ave. and Markham Rd. meant considerable water was draining down Lawrence Ave, flooding properties in several inâ€" stances, for example at Lawrence Ave. and Elmwood Ave., where the water was at one time completely across Lawrence Ave. Members asked regarding the extension of the water laterals on Baker, Lawrence, Ruggles, Len- nox, north to the Markham Road, streetline on all these streets, and south to Palmer Ave.‘ on all except Lennox. They were informed that this recommendation had been pla- ced before Council but had not yet been dealt with. After the business meeting, members were entertained with two-color sound films, “Clean Wat- er" and “Light of Your Life” through courtesy of Canadian Genâ€" eral Electric. Mr. W. McKie of that firm and a member of the association, obtained the films and showed them. A. W I I.
