By Lola Jones Two men in shirt sleeves ad- vance upon each other belligerent- ly â€" a small circle of onlookers watches with interest. Fight? No -â€" it’s Square Dance night in the village! At the mike an at- tractive girl calls “Two head gents go forward and back". ’The PA. system fills the air with “Right Hand Up and Left Hand Under”. Fifty or sixty women and men ca- vort with varying degrees of grace, but all of them wear the pleased and absorbed expression of those who square dance. Mr. Millar explained how the first commercial civilization cen- tred around the Mediterranean then, later, moved west to the At- lantic, crossed the Atlantic and is now developing on the rim of the Pacific ocean. This civilization was born and grew out of turmoil and bloodshed which has accompanied it through all phases of its evolution. She phoned in few of her more athletic friends, and the result was that eight of them attended the four sessions of the course at Aur- ora. This was in March. The eight people from Richmond Hill knew nothing about square dancing -â€" they were completely green. The sessions lasted three gruelling hours, for four nights in a row. They went ahead. They waited until after Easter, and then they invited a few more couples -â€" twenty people in all. They had decided not to advertise the ven- ture for fear of an overflow of cus- tomers. One of the eight, Ede Butlin, was persuaded to under- take the “calling”, working on the principle of keeping just one page ahead of her pupils. Her husband, Ed. Bultlin, worked with her in or- ganizing the squares and instruct- ing- the green-horns. “You have frequently heard that quotation, “East is East and West is West, and never the twain shall meet." That is not correct. Kip- ling did say: “East is East and West is West, And never the twain shall meet, ’Til earth and sky stand presently, At God’s great Judg~ ment Seat, But there is no east or west, border, nor breed, nor birth, When two strong men stand face to face, Though they come from the ends of the earth.” “We are living in the most high- ly developed century of all times. It has taken all the preceding cen- turies of sacrifice, sweat, blood and After that they got together and held a meeting. What now? Lent had begun â€" should they let this matter drop until fall, in which case it might never ,be re- vived, or go-ahead and share their new attainment? “Swing Your Partners” Its Square Dance Night They tell us the first seed was sown last spring. One of our residents, Ruth Rabinowitch, had been frequently in touch with the Department of Education with re- gard to art and crafts. One day she received notice from the com- munity Programmes Branch of a Leadership Training Course for Folk and Square Dancing. - In opening- a talk on racial un- derstanding before the Lion’s Club of Richmond Hill on Thursday ev- ening last, R. N. Miller, Vancouver, a militant figure fighting for better understandin'g and racial tolerance, told his listeners that: “Western civilization, Christianity-and com- mand decency are struggling for their very existence in the world today. There is today a deadly civil war based upon racial preju- dice and bigotry going on. It arises out of a cancerous growth of in- tolerance that is eating at the very Vitals of our democratic way of life.” Everyone had a wonderful time that first night, and a few more people had a grasp on the science of how to promehade and dosey- do. The next‘ week they invited more, on conditon that only begin- ners were eligible. Some of us who came in at this stage, (and I was one), walked in feeling very hesitant and went home exhilara- These square dances are, a sur- prising reversion to community spirit â€" how has it happened? Racial Understanding Is Urged By R.H. Lions’ Club @Mw 1&th ted. Each night we walked through the steps, and some good-natured soul would shove us around when we stood befuddled. It was not long until one felt a. part of the project and each week brought several beginners willing to be “larn’t.” The guest speaker was introduc- ed by Lion Percy Hill and presented with the traditional gift of roses by Lion Ed Croth. The Butlins met with the other original members between, weekly dances and talked and planned. They dropped in at Community Programmes headquarters to talk over their problems, and got in- struction books and much good ad- vice. They found out, for in- stance, how to keep the dances from becoming too rowdy by 9.1- ternating fast and slow numbers. They charged a quarter, and found that this more than c0vered ex- penses. The heartening thing to us all is that this has turned out to be a real community affair. In one square you would see the village clerk and a taxi-stand owner, the veterinary and an insurance agent. There were undertakers and groc- ery-store owners -â€" one of the lat- ter supplied cokes at cost. A 10- cal appliance man, Hugh Yerex, set up the RA. system every night. One of the pianists had to write some music which was un- available. The school board loan- ed the public school auditorium free of charge. First vice-president Lion Ed But- lin took the chair for this meeting owing to the absence of Lion Pres- ident Ken Tomlin who was attend- ing 3. Lions Zone Rally in Aurora. The committee tries to keep the dance from becoming a hoe-down, and succeeds. There is no drink- ing â€"- and these people are not all non-bibulous. - Actually, we are very fortunate, in that the people who went to the course at Aruora were inspired with the desire to share their fun with others. They sparked the thing here. They kept it fun in its most wholes me sense. They were willing to make mistakes if we were willing to put up with them â€" but there weren’t many. And the last night, when sixty of us turned out for the final dance, the men with their sleeves rolled up and the women in whirl- ing circle skirts, we had only one regret â€"- that we have to wait un- til fall to again hear “Choose your After naming the great men and women who have given their lives to the furtherance of racial broth- erhood, Mr. Millar, explained: “They have built bridges with their lives along international highways over which millions have crossed to a better understanding, finer fell- owship, keener appreciation of fell- ow men, regardless of race, color, caste or creed. As they have built bridges with their lives in this country, over which humanity shall cross to a better understanding of the nationals here who claim Am- erica as their home. We are all bridge builders, either as individ~ uals or as organizations.” There are no wallflowers. When Ede Butlin calls for squares ev- eryone jumps (or creaks) to his feet. You don’t stick with your own circle of friends â€" if that happens they throw in a “mixer”, where partners are progressive. Incidentally, mixer is a good term. When you slap your partners hands in the Heel and Toe Polka you are past the point of formal- ity. partners”. tears to make this one possible. We on the. North American continent, enjoy many of God’s richest gifts to the human race. We have all that science, medicine and Chris- tianity can do to give us the high- est standards of living. “But, unless we are prepared to extend our understanding and help to show in unmistakable terms that we are willig to share our know- ledge and experience with what many choose to call ‘inferior people’ then our own safety and well be- ing will be placed in jeopardy by our own lack of enlightened self- interest.” Daylight saving time ends in Richmond Hill on Septem- ber 30, when the residents will turn their clocks back one hour.

In announcing the transaction Reeve William Neal expressed satisfaction that the deal was a very favorable one which would save Richmond Hill ratepayers more than $20,000. as compared with the deal made tenta- tively a few weeks ago to finance the issue through the On- tario Municipal Improvement Corporation. “A s,aving._of $20,000. over the twenty year period is $1,000. a year 91" approximately one mill on the tax rate,” said the Reeve, “and this means a very considerable easing of the taxation for the new sewer project.” i Bond Deal Saves One Mill Annuaily On Sewer Levy Papers were found strewn along the street and furthe; investigation led to the discovery that the home of Mr. Morley Kinnee of Maple had been broken into, sometime last Saturday night.

Reeve Neal and council members- had some anxious moments, but they had faith in the good financial standing of Richmond Hill and de- cided that the sewer construction“ must proceed. The contractor was on the job but before even tempor- ary financing could be arranged the council had to have assurance the debentures could be sold. Several bids were received in ad- dition to the highest one accepted all of which indicates that in ad- dition to the improved money mar- ket Richmond Hill’s credit ismated highly in financial circles. Thié. week it was found thamonu‘ ey market' had considerably imâ€" proved over July a'nd Reev'e Neal and members‘ of council quickly‘ took advantage of the situation and negotiated the new debenture deal with the Toronto Bond houses. In its difficulty the council turns ed to the Ontario Municipal Im- provement Corporation. an organ- ization set up by the provincial government to assist in financing of municipal projects. Tentaive ar- rangements were made with this body to take the local debentures at a rate of interest averaging 5.14, per cent over the twenty years. ~ The Church Extension Commit- tee of the Baptist Convention of Ontario and Quebec has recentli purchased the property, formerly known as Trinity Parish Hall, Ioa cated at Stop 17, near the Thorn- hill Golf Course.
