The Marino company also has the contract for construction or the sewage system itself, the job hav- ing been awarded some weeks ago at their low figure of $191,000.

Hearing Friday. Em Eithmmk Conversion of the 'Iihornhill tele- phone exchange to dial servce is planned for the spring of 1952, F. J. Johnson, Bell Telephone mana- ger, told the Thornhill and District Business Men’s Association at its meeting on Tuesday night. The dial equipment will be housed in a new building, the site for which has been selected and negotiations are underway. Thornhill‘ Area To Get Dial Telephone Service In 1952 The new exchange will serve apâ€" proximately 1,60‘0 subscribers and will make individual and two-party service available to 300 custctiers now being served on rural lines. While the Thornhill exchange will not be included in the extended area service plan announced for a number of suburban exchanges ad- jacent to Toronto, the present; ar- rangement which permits free call- ing between Thornhill, Richmond Hill and Maple will remain un- changed. ‘ With the introduction of the dial system, telephone numbers will be changed to the “2-5” Numbering Plan, consisting of seven digits. In Toronto recently, the introduction of EMpire 3, EMpire 4 and RUss- ell 1 heralded the inauguration of this “2-5” Numbering Plan which will eventually be extended to in- clude all telephone numbers in for- onto and adjachnt communities. This fits in with a long range pro- ject of continent-wide toll dialing where operators anywhere in North America will be enabled to dial directly through to numners in distant places without the as- sistance of an intermediary oper- ator, or an operator at the distant point. New \Villowdale Setup Mr. Johnston also announced that starting today (June 7), Will- owdale telephone users will {have an opportunity ‘to make known their preference for a new extend- ed area service plan, or for contin- uing‘ present service with Toronto. Under the new plan, all Toronto and Weston telephones would be included in the Willowdale local calling area, thus eliminating the present toll charges on calls in both directions between Willowdale and Toronto and between Willow- dale and Weston. In a letter to Willowdale ex- dhange subscribers, Mr. Johnson, states that if the plan is accept- able to subscribers and apprOved by the proper authorities, it will be scheduled for introduction upon completion of the new Willowdale dial exchange in 1952. Monthly rates would be the same as those paid by Toronto subscribers; and the present zone and Toronto “for- eign exchange" services would be familiarity with aircraft so that they will be able to answer ques- tions that the passengers may ask them. After graduation, the airlines stewardess is assigned to a crew base which may be located at Bosâ€" ton, New York, Newark, Buffalo, Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago, Wash- ington, Nashville, Memphis, Tulsa, Dallas, Fort Worth, L’os Angeles or San Francisco. American Airlines has almost 25,000 miles of airwam from Mexico City to Toronto and Los Angeles to Helsinki. Steward- esses rarelyrfly more than eighty- five hours per month, and so have more time off than almost any other kind of regular work. Living expenses while they are away from the home base are paid £013 by the company and they are given an- nual passes of from 1,500 to 7,000 miles per year which they or mem- bers of their immediate family can use; this is in addition to their vacation travel allowance. All in all, it adds up to a job which means fun, travel and absorbing in- terest. Miss Maddocks was born in Tori onto, obtained her elementary ed- ucation while living on Northelifl" Blvc. in York Township and has resided with her parents in Lang- staff for the past seven years. She attended Earl Haig Collegiate where she took a commercial course and received a high school diploma. She gave up a, postion as a secret- ary in order to attend fihe Steward- ess Training School in Chicago. "ln Essentials, Unity,- ln Non-essentials, Liberty; In all Things, Charity.” discontinued. During recent years, there has been widespread growth in North York, particularly in the area ser- ved by the Willowdale exchange. Because their business and social interests are so c105er related with people in Toronto, many resi- dents of flhis area have asked for telephone service of this kind, tue letter explains. At present, subscribers with Willowdale telephone numbers can reach without toll charges about 4,400 other telephones. Under flhe proposed plan, they would be able to call and' receive calls from more than 400,000 telephones through- out the Toronto, Weston and Will- owdale exchanges. Long distance toll charges on calls from Willowdale to Toronto amount on the average to $2.25 each month, in addition to the reg. ular rate the Willowdale subscriber pays for local service. This am- ount does not include charges paid by Toronto users who call sub- scribers in the Willowdale ex- change area, nor does it include charges on calls between Willow- dale and Weston. Under the toll- free extended area service plan, all calls between the Willowdale exchange and Toronto or Weston â€" in either direction â€" would be local calls, free of any extral charge. 0n the average there are 4,250 calls placed from Willowdale to Toronto each day, and with in- creasing community -of interest that number is rising. Calls be- tween Willowdale and Weston have also been rising in recent years. Mr. Jolhnson pointed out that, with At a hotly contested election lheld at Oak Ridges school Wed- nesday, May 30, Harry Hutchinson, popular Oak Ridges builder and member of Oak Ridges Lions Club, defeated Sprague Tnoyer by a vote of 60 to 41 for the position on the school board left vacant by Horace Brown, who moved recently to Keswick. Oak Ridges Builder Fills Trustee Vacancy The meeting was called to order by Chairman Frank Legge. Nom- inated for the position of chair- man and secretary of the meeting were C. L. Steplhenson and Stuart Acheson respectively. Sprague Troyer was nominated by Mrs. D. R Gunn, seconded by Richard Bull, Sr. Mr. Robert Ash nominated Harry Hutchinson and Walter Hawker seconded the nomination. According to procedure laid down by law it is necessary to take a standing vote before a final vote is called. The results of this pre- liminary vote were 36 votes for Hutchinson and 25 for Troyer. A poll was then called and Stan. Rule and R. Woolley Sr. were appomted as scrutineers. Polls were kept open an extra ten minutes as re- quired by law.

Council recently passed a res- olution setting up a dividing line under which two school sections, now operating as one unit, would be set up. However, at a meeting in Stoufivillefiast Wednesday night Mr. J. Reynolds of the Ontario De- partment of Education warned that the cost of operating two separate school groups was not justified by the population in the area. It is suggested that one central school be established and that the present buildings in Stouffville and Markham might be utilized for public school purposes. No action was taken on a letter from the trustees of School Area No. 1 of Vaugihan and Markham townships asking for tentative ap- proval of a project to build a new school in the Thornlea area to cost approximately $180,000. Municipalities involved are Mnxkhnm and W'hitdhurch town- ships and the villages of Stouff- ville and Markham.

Croth, chairman of the committee in charge of the event reported Wednesday that he is hopeful of getting some big-name recording artist to make an ap- pearance at the Fair on Saturday night.

Trench of Vancouver, B.C.' has been visiting with his cousin, T. H. Trench, Lorne Avenue, nich- mond Hill. He arrived in Toronto on May 23rd and during the past two weeks has been alternating his stay between Richmond Hill and Toronto. W. R. Trench was born in Rich-I mond Hill; he left for the west from Aurora with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Trench and older brother Albert when he was a very young child to take residence in Brandon, Manitoba in the year 1883 and had not been east since. When he was a young man he moved to Kelowna, B.C., where af- ter graduating in Pharmacy, he es- tablished a druggist business wnich he operated for thirty years. After retiring and selling his business he took charge of the Department of Pharmacy in the hospital at Oc- ean Falls on the Pacific Coast. The occasion of his visit east is ‘his appointment 'by the Grand lMaster of British Columbia AF. & A.M., Most Worshipful Brother John Morgan," to represent him at the Grand Lodge of the Masons, which meets in Winnipeg on June 13 to 16. Most Worslhipful Master John Morgan was clerk in the Standard Bank of Canada in Rich- mond Hill some years ago. So this former “old boy”, after a long absence, decided to continue east and pay a visit to the village of his birth. Needless to say his Cousins received him with enthus- iasm and have spent several enjoy- able days with him.
