«RICHMONB HILL LII) On Tuesday evening at 7.15 o’- clock, a drizzling rain was the cause of a bad accident, when Earl Davidson, driving from Yonge St., lost control of his car in a skid on the greasy pavement, turned over three times, and ended in a crash against a telephone pole. The car, a 1941 Ford, was completely smashed, but luckily the driver was unhurt. His passenger, Nels Jul- ian of Woodbridge, had cuts about his ear, requiring 18 stitches be- fore he was able to go home. Mr. Davidson was on his way to King where he had an appointment; to purchase a new car, and to turn in his Ford Sedan. It has now been dismantled, and the engine, tires, and usable parts have been sold. The second accident took place two evenings later at 5.15 O‘clock on Thursday.

The meeting will be held in the-Masonic Hall on Thursday evening July 19 and it is hoped there will be a large and representative attendance. It is proposed to construct new concrete sidewalks on Yonge Street as outlined in advertisement which appears elsewhere in this issue and the estimated cost of such con- struction is $17,000. Of this a- mount the Department of High- Thornhill Will Vote On Sidewalks Construction Programme Of $8,500 struction is $17,000. Of this a- mount the Department of High- ways has agreed to pay fifty per cent, and the trustees feel that this is a very satisfactory arrangement.

North Yonge buses showed an operating profit of $2,813.03 for the month of May, compared with a profit of $2,886.49 for May in 1950. The passenger revenue for the month was $27,350.25 an in- crease of $1,585.87 over the same month last year, or an increase of more than 6 per cent. Operating expenses for May were up approx- imately $1755. over last year due mainly to increased mileage. Passenger revenue for the first five months of this year shows an increase of $6,230.75 over the' same period last year or a gain of more than 5 per cent.

To authorize the debenture issue a vote of the ratepayers will be taken on Tuesday, July 24, when the polls will be open from 10 a.m. to 8 pm. It is pointed out that the walks in the other business section are in bad, shape and need replacement and that in other sections adequate permanent walks are urgently needed in the interests of the safe- ty. of the citizens. Located on the most heavily travelled highway in Canada, Thornhill like other Yonge Street municipalities has an ever- present traffic problem. “In the interest of business development, and as well in the interest of the preservation of the lives of our people adequate sidewalks are abâ€" olutely necessary” said Trustee Chairman Dean “and I hope our people will avail themselves of this opportunity of obtaining them un- der a favorable agreement with the Ontario Department of Highways." Lions Carnival Will Feature A Softball Game A ladies’ softball game at 6.30 pm, will be a feature attraction at the Lions Carnival in Richmond Hill on Civic Holiday, Monday, August 6.

Two power shovels of the Mar- ino Construition Co. swung into ac: tion Wednesday morning to utart Richmond Hill’s $350,000 seWer in- stallation project. A gang of ab- out twenty men are on the job and another shovel will be started soon. Start of the work was at the south easterly corner of the mun- icipality where the disposal plant will be located. It is estimated that the work will progress at the rate of approximately 1000 feet per day, and the east side of the village will be done first. It is hoped the entire contract will be completed and the system in operâ€" ation in less than a year. Council held a special meeting Monday evening when preliminary plans were discussed for the issu- ing of debentures to cover the cost of the undertaking. Information received indicates that the debenr tures will have to beer a higher interest. rate than that which pre- vailed a year ago.

New Sidewalk For Yonge St. Birds . . . . 0f Another Feather With summer in full splen- dor, nature takes its hand and showers us with many wild life and bird visitors, the most common to us in Richmond Hill being the Flying Auto Hawk,'one of nature’s most unusual birds. A native of regions south of us, where throughout the week it is a most docile and indusâ€" trious creature, every Friday afternoon it is stricken with an. uncontrollable urge to fly north. Decking itself out in its most garish plumage, it scurries north in reckless aban- don searching for something that bird experts have yet to discover, leaving in its wake a. trail of disruption and disorder that is not akin to our other feathered friends. About the only thing that arrests the Hawks’ migration through Richmond Hill is a tall red and green monster on the corners of Yonge and Centre Streets â€" but after‘a slight pause and a shug of impat- ience off it flys northward in- to the unknown. Not in common with Other Hawks this specie has no re- spect whatsoever “for fellow creatures but pushes and jos- tles everything from its path. What pleasure it derives from its weekâ€"end sorties is hard to understand for on its return south on Sunday nights it can be observed to be a very tired and'haggard creature with a look on its face as having been nowhere â€"â€" maybe it hasn’t, and perhaps it’s one of na- ture’s queer tricks, but cer- tainly whilst the sun shines the Flying Auto Hawk will continue to get this strange urge every weekend.
