We Can Supply Everything in the Building Line Rad €44: You’ll be pleased with Christmas Cards For Everybody We have Wallpaper In Stock The new block built by the Aurora Building Company is an attractive addition to the busi- ness section of Greater Richmond Hill, and the bowling alleys have been hailed as a welcome addit- ion to the district’s recreational facilities. The alleys, after they are built- up and laid down, are sanded with a revolutionary type of machine that is as close to self-operating as can be conceived. The mach- ine is controlled by a “brain” that controls the stress of the sanding belt as it goes along. and when the work is completed the alleys are within 4/10,000 of one inch of overall level. This is con- siderably better than the scope given to the Brunswick Company by the ruling bodies in the sport, but because of this fabulous san- der they are in a position to of- fer the bowling public these ideal. conditions. After sanding the alleys they are coated with five coats of lacquer, being sanded in between each coat, and finally buffed and polished with a spec~ ial type of floor machine. Ned Hill, manager of The Rich- mond Bowl, reports that there is still accommodation for addition- al league bowling, and that there will 'be open bowling every af- ternoon, as well as all day every Saturday. Full particulars of playing schedules will be releas- ed at any early date. The Gutters are prefabricated at the manufacturers as are the Pit Cushions, Settees, etc. The halls used today are a synthetic compound with a rubber base and these are cut down from blocks at the Brunswick Company and made into perfect spheres. The Pins are once again of number 1 hard white, mineral free, maple and are shaped on various lathes and many different types of ma- chines and then coated with white lacquer. The Bands are made of pure crude rubber and the peop- le in the trade are most happy to have this type of band available once more. Lorne Evans Whitchurch Townâ€" ship's representative on the Up- per Holland River Authority and also on the Humber Authority, was present and contributed a great deal to the discussion from his experience of the problems in- volved. He pointed out an Auâ€" thority can stop pollution before it occurs and named the case of the Don River, in which $100,000 was spent to clean it up after it had been polluted. Mr. Evans stated that a picture "Our Valley" made by the Humber Valley Con- servatlon Authority will be shown at Vandorf in the Community Hall early in November. Residence By-Law Ignored Constable iMulhollEmd reported to council that following the in- structions given him he had In- Opening Rich.

Haines of Box Grove appeared before Whitchurch Township council last Thursday to discuss the formation of a Rouge River Conservation Authority. Before forming an Authority it is necessary to approach all councils in the valley area, in this instance, Pickering, Scarboro, Mark- ham, Whitchurch, and to a small degree King and Vaugh- an Townships. Markham has approved the idea and last week Whitchurch signified it would be interested. Residence By-Law Ignored Refreshments at the close of the meeting were provided by the Doncaster Ladies Club and the Highland Park Ladies Auxiliary. Music during the evening was provided by Area Music Super- visor‘ Hugh Martin who conduct- ed his school choir in two selec- tions. Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring, and The Lord Is My Shepherd. A Hallowe’en song was sung as an encore. Mrs. H. Burke rendered “Bless This House” as a solo number. Miss Marjory Jackson accompanied at the piano. Mrs. A. O’Brien President of Doncaster Ladies Club, also pre- sented Mr. Martindale with a projector for school use on be- half of the club members who had raised the money to buy this piece of equipment to further the education of the pupils. Musical Program Prayers of dedication and ben- ediction were led by Rev. S. A. R. Wood and Rev. E. E. Kent. Presents Projector Vice-Chairman of the School Area Board. Jackson Taylor in- troduced Alan Martindale, Prin- cipal of Henderson Avenue School. Mr. Martindale in turn presented his teaching staff to the audience â€" Mrs. H. Burke, Grade 1; Mrs. C. J. Buckingham, Grades 1 and 2; Mrs. M. Lemon, Grade 2; Karl Kinsinger, Grades 4 and 5. Mrs. B. T. O’Beirn, Grades 3 and 4, was not present due to a death in the family but will resume her duties on Nov- ember 1. Mrs. M. Stephenson, Richmond Hill and Mrs. Peacock, Thornhill, supplied during Mrs. O‘Beirn's absence. Principal Martindale accepted a Bible on behalf of the school presented to him by Rev. J. V. Mills for the Trustees Association of Ontario of which he is secret- ary. (Continued from page 1 to Dr. Althouse for speaking at the official opening of the school and following his speech Mrs. Muriel McDermott, Secretary of the Area Board presented Mrs. Althouse with a bouquet of flow- ers. Richmond 181 merchants from the Canadian Bank of Com- merce to Mansbridge Meat Mar- ket on the east side of Yonge St. approached Reeve W. J. Taylor stating they were agreeable to dig out the boulevard in front of their stores if council would sup- ply the hardtop surface. Since this projcet would bring council over its budget it was agreed on Monday night to holdthe matter over for next year’s council when it could be included with the oth- er estimates. In a letter to the Department which council approved Richmond hill Planning Board explained that 100 acres of this 450 are al- ready occupied by greenhouses, therefore only 350 are actually designated for industrial sites. The Board feels this area is not larger than it should be. Henderson Ave. Sch. “It’s a good idea," said coun- vcillor Middleton, “but we can't do it this year. It would cost us $100. and would bring us over our budget. Leave it until next year.” Want No Changes In Plan Council backed the Planning Board‘s original plan of the villâ€" age, several parts of which the Department of Planning has ques- tioned. The main objection was that the 450 acres set aside for industrial purposes was too great an area. The High School Area Boards met with Jack Crawford on Wed- nesday night in a further at- tempt to adjust boundaries of the High School areas in the township so that no overlapping of busses would occur. It is a matter of switching some assessments to one area or the other and some further discussions will have to take place. Merchants Ask For Hardtop Sutface On Yonge St. Blvd. terviewed the Crown Attorney re- garding the prosecution of Township residents who were contravening township byâ€"law 1334 which states that summer cottages may not be used for year round residence. Councillor Legge said “This has got to be a serious thing in the Township. Township schools are all over- crowded. One man told me he had taken his children to three schools in one day and they had been refused admittance at each one because there simply was no more space for desks.” Clerk John Crawford was instructed to proceed with the prosecutions. This by-law has been publicized but is being ignored. A final cost on the North Lake Wilcox Road was received. The amount is $28,676.23. This road, started three years ago as a local improvement was to have cost $11,000 but an expensive drain- age problem was encountered which resulted in thelabove cost. The Yonge Street culvert which is the west end of the dwinage ditch is still waiting to be lower- ed. King Township council will be asked to share in the cost which is $1,000. That township will benefit by proper drainage which this ditch supplies. Pertaining to a north-south road to join Richmond and Mill Streets, council agreed to give Herbert Carr Mill Street, the as- surance that when the time comes for Mr. Carr to subdivide his lots council gives its approval of a 49 foot, 6 inch by 100 foot lot on Mill Street and a 50 foot by 99 foot lot on the proposed Ander- son road. According to village By-Laws lots must be a minimum of 50 feet in width and since 33 feet of Mr. Carr's property will go for a new roadway council made an exception in Mr. Carr’s case. 'Reeve Taylor again expressed a vote of confidence in the Plan- ning Board and emphasized the good work its members were doing for the village. New North-South Road Said Councillor Rice, “We don't want our plan changed and we want council to approve it. One weakness in their request is that they admit they aren’t fam- iliar with local problems and yet they turn around and try to tell us what to do.” Deputy-Reeve Tomlin moved and Councillor Perkins seconded a motion that council approve the Board’s Plan_ the motion carry- mg. For any reason why the deliberations of an elected municipal council on either of these subjects should be a deep dark secret it is suggest- ed ratepayers ask their elect- ed representatives. The press was not admitted to this part of the meeting so we cannot report. a substitute for the present job. should be considered. This plan- ning should be‘ done well in ad- vance of the time when there will no longer be a busy day’s work ahead. By starting the hob- by early. the hobbyist is able to collect the necessary equipment when he probably has more money to spare for such purchas- es. Many useful crafts are taught at night schools, where age is no consideration. The earlier the crafts are learned, the more skil- led the hobbyist will become BUSY LEASURE HOURS When making plans for retire- ment, an interesting hobby that will roccupy minds and hands as Best available information from the grapevine was that council had been discussing the by-laws regarding swill- feeders or the transportation of swill for feeding hogs, and it is just possible the much discussed ward system for e1- ecting public representatives of the ratepayers was men- tioned. At 9.55 pm. the door of the sanctum-sanctorum open- ed and press representatives entered to View the elected representatives of the rate- payers of Markham township seated in their accustomed plaees about the council tab- le. Solicitor J. D. Lucas was present and members were innocently discussing the issuing of debentures for the proposed new District High School. Not a word was said about the doors having been closed. No an- nouncement was made as to what was discussed or what decisions. if any, were made. Only faint rumbling of voices could be heard from within where the secret ses- sion was in progress. Once or twice Clerk Charles Hoover strode out grim faced and silent to snatch from the shelf a volume of the sacred law â€" the Ontario Statutes. Not a word or nod of recog- nition to the press. Finally admitted to the outer sanctum newsmen pass- ed the time hearing an inter- esting account of Chief Con- stable Wideman’s motor trip to the west coast. Markham township council deliberated for some two hours Monday evening be- hind closed doors. A locked door greeted newspaper re- porters on arrival.
