MARY’S CATHOLIC CHURCH RICHMOND HILL A N N U A L THANKS-GIVING CARNIVAL AND LUCKY DRAW LIONS COMMUNITY BALL WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 8 men of the community are inter- ested in their welfare. A great many charitable projects have also received assistance from the Oak Ridges Lions. Just this last spring they decided to sponsor the Boy Scouts in Oak Ridges and four members of the Lions Club comprise the Scout group com- mittee. Lion Jack Blyth is the chairman this year of the group committee and great plans are afoot for making the Oak Ridges Scout Troop a credit to the com- munity. In the matter of firemen‘s sal- aries the speaker encouraged the adoption of a point system by which the members of a brigade would receive one point for every fire they attended. In determin- ing what pay each fireman would receive at the end of a year sim- ply divlde the total number of points by the total amount of mon- ey. Once the the areas and financial arrangements are agreed upon then the respective Councils will pass by-laws designating the Fire Chiefs as Chiefs of those certain areas. The size of each area would de- pend on the state of the roads. Mr. Alexander felt a 5 mile square ar- ea would be about right. The following fire areas were tenta- tively decided upon by those pres- ent â€"â€" Stoufiville Brigade would go down the 10th Concession for 31/4 miles then over to the 8th Concessâ€" ion. Then up the 8th 2% miles and through to the 4th conces‘sion. Markham Brigade would cover the bottom south-east corner of the township. Unionville Brigade would go up the 3rd concession across to Vic- toria Square then to Cashel. and down the 7th concession to the townline. instead of the present arrange- ment by which the township pays the Fire Brigades so much for each fire they attend. Such a change would be a saving on the townâ€" ship's bookkeeping system and budget. Richmond Hill Brigade would go down the 4th concession from the townline to Victoria Square and then over 10 the 3rd concessâ€" ion and down to Steele‘s Ave. The next move will now be up to Markham Township Council to initiate proceedings and approach the various councils. Donations of a bush or some bulbs next sfiring, to help along this newest Lions project, the community park, would be great- ly appreciated by the Club.

Although the church building altered and enlarged from time to time since placed on the present site. dates back to 1838. the con- gregation which now worships in it had its beginnings in an even earlier date. It derived originally from services held as long ago as 1803. Next year the congregation will appropriately celebrate its 1 0th anniversary of the origin of t e congregation. James McDonald announced that former Reeve and Mrs. John Hos- trawser were celebrating their 37th anniversary that same night and Miss Watson presented them with a beautiful basket of red and white carnations and red roses.

The first thing the grade 13’s found fipon arrival in the morning was a complete absence of first formers due to the co- operation of the TTC of course, but even- tually, the buses disgorged dozens of students on Yonge St., and a steady infiltration of woe-begone Grade. 9‘ers began to appear ar- ound the High School.

These cellars were dug almost three years ago, and have since then been neglected or abandoned by their owners, who have done no further construction At this meeting Dr. John Barrie, as chairman of the school board of S. S. 2 brought a request regardâ€" ing the replacement of a conduit in front of the school, which was removed when that part of the road was graded earlier in the summer. The following resolution was passed. “ It is recommended that the request from S. S; 2 that the entrance to the school be corâ€" rected, and that as S. S. 2 points out, that since township removed the previous conduit. that town- ship authorities be requested to replace the conduit and fill with- out charge to the village, or S.
