REID AVEL, CRUSHED STONE, [DAM & FILL a special conference at the School for American Craftsmen at Roen- ester, New York, where they were special Canadian guests. . Mr. and Mrs. Doug. Boyd, Rich- mond Hill, were recent visitors t9 While there ’they spent consid- erable time with Baron Eric Flem- ing, Court Silversmith for the King‘ of Sweden. His duty is to create the designs for siflver for court use, tableware and other pieces, which are then given to the forty craftsmen, working under his direction to produce. His designs are very modern, which is partic- ularly appealing to Mr Boyd, who was fortunate to view some of Bar- on ’Fleming’s work on display with that of other silversmiths. Mr. Boyd was not able to bring any of his finished products across the border because of custom regula- \tions. Local Silversmith Attends Conference At the height of last Friday’s heavy rain and thunderstorm the house of Robert Karsh, Hunt Ave. was struck by lightning. The Richmond Hill Fire Brigade under the direction of Chief Alf. Stong answered the call and discovered that a fire was burning between the ceiling and the roof. There a box containing rubbers and galosh- es was aflame. The fire burned through the ceiling causing consid- erable smoke. The Fire Brigade extinguished the blaze. and cleared the house of smoke.

This is the story of Lucy Camâ€" eron who lived with her two sis- ters in a. small Ontario town still under the shadow of a Calvinist father seven years dead. The way of life of the characters, the at- mosphere in such circumstances is particularly evident, making very clear the fate of Lucy and other residents of Grenville. Like her fellow-citizens, Lucy might have lived and died in these unglamorous surroundings had not Stephen Lassiter come from New York, to manage the only big plant in the town. A graduate of Prince- ton and springing from ‘a wealthy American family, Stephen was the complete antithesis of Lucy. In spite of the great void between them a love affair began, and ev- entually they married and moved to New York. It was a shattering life for Lucy but she was able to uphold' her- self in her new environment with the dignity and poise her first sur- roundings had instilled within her. The turkey supper held for the people of Richmond Hill and dis- trict every autumn by the Church of St. Mary immacu‘laae promises ‘this year to outcias»; all previous efforts. The Turkey Supper Group Asks What Of Richmond Hills’ Needs? - All Are To Give Their Views It has been decided to hold lthe event at the Arena as usual, the date being October 3, and arrange- ments are about completed for an excellent supnly of young turkcy. An unusual feature this year will be the introduction of :1 sm- vey on municipal government sug- gested by the dean of the Rich- mond Hill council, Councillor Wes. Middleton. “One of the most difl‘icult things in life,” Councillor Midjieton said to a member of the supper commit- tee, “is to see ourselves as others see us. I think it vyould be a fine thing if at some such event as yours a poll were taken showing us what our folks think about our community. Why not try it?” -Following the Councillor’s pro- posal a number of questions were prepared. The best answers Will entitle those making them to prizes As a special feature for readers of The Liberal, we are with this week’s edition be- ginning a column entitled “Lit- terally Speaking.” In this ser- During the past week we of The Liberal office were very pleased to receive a letter from a thmond Hill boy at present serving in Korea with the artillery. In his letter Gunner W. A. Woodcock stated that he and his family mov- ed near Richmond Hill about three years ago and had grown to like the community very much. He also stated he enjoyed receiving the Liberal while in Korea as it seem- ed an important link between him- self and his homeland. ies your newspaper will en- deavour to intelligently anal- yze currently popular books of our day. Comments from readers will be appreciated. Local Boy In Korea In Need Of Books Gunne‘r Woodcock and his bud- dies are very anxious to receive old books from the citizens of Rich- mond Hill, for Korea today is a land very short of suitable read- ing material. If any one has any reading material they care to don- ate to Gnr. Woodcock’s Battery just drop it into the Liberal office and we shall gladly see that it reaches Gunner WOOGCUCK and his friends. When interviewed by the Liber- al Mrs. Woodcock who resides on Rutledge Avenue stated that her 28 year old husband had re-enlisted for service in Korea in July 1950. After completing his training in Canada he salled for the Far East from Seattle in May, and sub- Sequently went into the fI'O'lt Lm-s on'May 24.

The author, Thor Heyerdahl and his five fellow Scandinavians Set out from Peru in South America on a home-made raft of Balsa logs letting the currents and the winds of the Pacific Ocean take the raft, as they will. This adventure is to prove the author’s theory that the inhabi- tants of a group of South Sea is- lands originally came from South America and that the only Way they could have made this migra- tion across the Pacific hundreds of years ago was by a similar raft._ The situations encountered by the group on the raft in overcom- ing storms, food, and the strange and weird fish and creatures is am- azing. Tfie author tells how they caught sharks at times for something to do to break the boredom. “Kon-Tiki” is a. god, and repâ€" resents the wind that steadily blew the raft of the original migrants from Peru to the islands, just as it did Thor Heyerdahl and his companions in 1947 to prove their theory. Veéy well written and full of in- terest, Kon-Tiki is a must for ad- venture story fans. “Diamonds To Amsterdam” Manning Coles I didn’t think Manning Coles did quite so good a job with this one as he did with “The Fifth Man” or “A Brother For Hugh," casting Tommy Hambleton and Superin- tendent Bagshott of the C.I.D. Of Scotland Yord in a fairly quiet story. They did get themSeres mixed up with home-made gold-making machines and tracking some diam- ends from London to Amsterdam, and a gang of thugs, but no knives, guns or Gestapo. Hambleton is his quiet, whimsical self as usual and Bagshott as ever on the job for good old Scotland Yard. As; a story “Diamonds to Am- sterdam” doesn’t start until you have read two thirds of it. at the turkey supper. The questions are: Do you like living in Richmond Hill area? Give reasons for your answer. What do you think is the great- est need of the village at the pres- ent time? Give reasons. Would you like to see the villâ€" age more highly industrialized and an elfort made to have new businesses locate here? Is the p‘resent public transporta- tion system to and from the city satisfactory? Is there anything in this connection you would like' council to do? Is the time ripe in your opinion to make an effort to include more territory north, south, east or west, within the village? Go fully into detail. Do you favor continu.tion of the Contract to have “the village policed by the provmciaj. force 01' should we inaugurate 9. Richmond Hill force? There are no strings attached. All residents are invited to enter the contest, sending their replies to the questions or any one of the questions addressed to “Turkey Supper," care of the Richmond Hill Liberal. Replies may be used for public discussion but the names of the contestants will not. be dis- closed and the prizes will be aâ€" warded on the evening of October 3 at the Arena.

OF HEALTH TOWNSHIP OF NORTH YORK Health Hints Between-meal snacks of sweet foods can lead to definite malnutrition, because sweet foods tend to satisfy the appe- tite before enough protective foods have been eaten. 'I\he human body is similar to a machine â€" its various parts are not wearproof. The only way to make the body continue to function well is to give it a rest once in a while. For better health, include whole grain products in your daily diet. Cereals and breads made from whole grains are splendid energy producers. CARL E. HILL, M.D., M.O.H. Rev. S. W.
