Swimmer Danforth Radio Folks At The 1951 Thornhill District Carnival Everybody enjoys a good carni- val and the Thornhill District Lions Club Carnival this year promises to be something out of ‘thé ordinary. From a one evening affair it has grown to the point when it will run for two nights, and will be held on Friday and Saturday, June 29 and 30. Everything changes in time, and perhaps the greatest change in the 1951 show is its removal from the Highway to the more pleasant surroundings of the Thornhill Park, where there will be more room, and where the noise and confusion of traffic will be happily missing. Attractive Exhibits 8: Record Attendance Feature The Second Annual Trade Fair This change of site opens up the possibility of a radical change of programme and the addition of many feature attractions. anh night will have its own special attraction with top billing on the Friday evening going to the stage presentation of Dan- forth Radio Folks, who will appear in person, and who will broadcast their regular CFRB programme from a stage at the carnival.

Timbers. Ratepayers Associations Ask Council Erect Speed Signs The delegation presented a 4- point brief requesting that council erect 30 m.p.h. signs on the roads in the district, in particular Mor- gan Avenue, and take steps to see that the speeding regulations were enforced. Point two of the brief requested that Council enforce the regula- tions respecting the Fire Precau- tion By-Law. One mefnber of the Association felt that the hours meg- ulating the‘ times when grass fires may be lit shonld be changed to in- clude the evening when the chances of a fire spreading were less than between the hours of 9 am. to 6 pm. under the present by-law reg- ulations. Another request made by the de- legation was for council to enforce the law prohibiting hunting and shooting in the area as this had been going on openly especially on Sundays and shooting at pheasants had occurred frequently, very close to members’ houses. ' Finally the ASSOciation request- ed that council take steps to get "HEssentials, Unity; 'In Nan-essentials, liberty} In all Things, Charity. ” form and every one will want to be present. Saturday night’s highlight will be the presentation of Gus Ryd- er’s “Aquacade”. Amongst the members of the Lakeshore Swim- ming Club taking part will be such well known swimmers as Ray Houghton's Royal Lifesavers who in 1950 won the RLLS Co- chrane Cup for Lifesaving hon- ors, champion swimmers Jean and Barbara Mowatt, eight year 01d David Hughes, and a whole host of senior stars. Mr. John Perry, the proprietor, comes from Woodbridge and is at present a councillor in that village. An R.C.A.F. veteran, he attended high school in Aurora, became a Squadron Leader during the war twice decorated by the‘ King, hav- ing been awarded the Distinguish- ed Service Order and the Disting- uished Flying Cross. Did_ you see Cliff Lumsden win the fifteen mile swim and the World Long Distance Champion- ship at the C.N.E. last year? If not here is your chance to see him in action, and it’s well worth see- ing. Cliff is one of the swimmers in Aquacade and will be one of the chief attractions of the Car- nival. Ulpon retirement from the Air Force he apprenticed at Hender- son’s Drug Store in Woodbridge and was a member of the 1949 class at Pharmacy College. He was twice president of the Canadian Pathfinders Club, an ex- clusive coast to coast veterans’ or- ganization, and has been flying for four years with the City of Tor- onto 400 Reserve Jet Fighter Squadron. He is a member of Mas- onic Order and the Canadian Le- gion. Both these major attractions are for the entertainment of those who attend the Lions Carnival in the Thornhill Park on June 29 and 30, and at no extra charge. In addition the committee has lined up plenty of further enter- tainment to give everyone, both young and old, the time of their life. rid of the stagnant water that was still lying in the road ditches was they felt this was very unsanitary. Council has agreed to send mem- bers to investigate the situation. He was recently married to the former June Campbell, daughter of Brigadier Colin A. and Mrs. Camp- bell of Woodbridge.

Special features included refreshments served in Maple Villa from 8 to 10.30 pm. and free tick- ets for a radio. The draw was made Saturday morning by Gordon McMahon, supervised by Police Chief Skidmore. The lucky ticks. holder was Mrs. Ella Harris of the Maple Post Office. New Drug 'Store Opens At Maple About three hundred or more visited the new drug store during the day and evening and inspected the up-to-date dispensary and the complete line of drug store items. Flowers sent by local business- men and friends lined the store and added colour to the opening cere- monies. Thursday’s Chuckle A stout, bald gentleman was discussing his tennis tech- nique, “My brain barks out a. command to my. body: ‘Run forward speedily. Start right away.

Hydro Superintendent L. J. Roy reported to Richmond Hill councll at its meeting Monday night that “wiring in the arena. was inade- quate and out-of-date and danger- ous to anyone using the building.” Arena Wiring Condemned Inadeqate & Out Of Date Council Takes Action To Eliminate Fire Hazard Limited repairs were made to the electrical set-up last year, but were a drop in the bucket com- pared to the amount of repairing necessary to rid the public building of the name of a “fire trap". E- quipped with a. 100 amp. service, that which a normal household uses, the arena. should at least have its service increased, making the wiring ‘passable’. As to the cost of this project council felt that since many of the village’s organ- izations make use of the arena for their fairs, dances, etc., that these bodies should help to share the cost of repairs. “We don’t want 3. dan- gerous situation on our hands”, said councillor Middleton, but I think the Business Men’s Associaâ€" tion and the Lions Club and other such clubs which make frequent .use of the building should pay half {of the cost.” “The chief cause of ‘overloadng is ninety-nine per cent lighting,” said Harry LeCuyer, re- jferring to last Friday night at the Trade Fair when the lights went out, forcing hurried repairs. Council decided to ask a Hydro In- spector to have 5, look at the build- ing and to report back to them concerning cost and extent of re- pairs to the electrical system. _ Councillors have received various 'cbmplaints from motorists and residents of the village that the flidkering Neon sign of the Ernest Ridout Real Estate, Yonge Street, was interfering with the stoplight at the intersection of Yonge and Centre Street. The green and red in the sign conflict with the same colors in the stoplight and make it difficult for motorists to see the stop-and-go signals. Clerk Russell Lynett was instructed to write to the Department of High- ways to see what could be done about this matter. At present, Mr. Suter is employ- ed in the Chapleau area as party chief in charge of a group of un- iversity students who are obtain- ing forestry statistics on a gov- ernment survey. With his B. Sc. F. and a further year of training, he could if he wished at a later date obtain a high school tecaher’s certificate.

As he had not completed the first year of high school, this was no small undertaking. On January 1, 1946, he began the concise course offencd by the government to veteransund six months later 'passed the high school examinations at the D.V.A. School in Hamilton. During the summer he worked with Price Bros., a lumber firm, in Quebec and started university in October. For the next four years he spent his winters studying and did not have to re-write a single subject; during the summers he supplemented the- ory with practice as he worked with forestry parties in various parts of Ontario. Stan was born in Lambton Mills, Ontario, and came to Langstaff with his family at the age of eight, having had two years at Hodgson School in Toronto.

The at- ena was full of attractively dec- orated booths representing Rich- mond _Hill busineSS places and thousands of people from the dis- trict and neighbouring communiâ€" ties visited the Fair, admired the various displays, discussed mer- chandise with the business people and shared in the distribution of hundreds of prizes which were given away to holders of lucky number tickets.
