THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Thurs., Dec. 8, 1953 11 Voting hours are 9 am. to 7 pm. Monday, Dec- ember 7, and I ask for your vote. I promise you faith- ful and conscientious service. L. H. Clement I wish to deny rumors which have been circulated that I am in favor of cheap teachers. I have always stood for a high standard of teachers and I am very proud of our present excellent staff and they have al- ways had and will have my support and co-operation. I am interested in the construction of the pro- posed new school and I would like to remain on the Board to see it completed. I am in favor of a substan- tial and practical new school building, but I am op- posed to the inclusion of any frills on which the prov- ince will not pay a grant. I am a member of the United Church and have been active in village affairs,being closely associated with the Lions Club, the Masonic Lodge, the Agricul- tural and Horticultural Societies, as well as many other organizations. I do not want in any way to seem boastful, but I think I should draw to your attention that in the mat- ter of procuring desks alone, I was solely responsible for saving the Board about $7,000. My action on that occasion in making this saving I would remind you was opposed by a trustee of that time who is now seeking election. This is only one of many such items I might quote. My record is well known to the ratepayers, and I know I do not need to outline the details Of my service through the years. It is an honor I appreciate that I have been nominated this year by the Chairman of the Board and that through the years successive chairmen have expressed appreciation of my services. I assure you the interests of education are very close to my heart and I thaVe every wish to provide our children with every advantage. However I am deep- ly conscious of the burden of rising costs and I will as in the past keep careful watch of all expenditures in the interests of economy. Education expenditure accounts for a substantial portion of your annual tax bill, and careful business administration is required from those who are en- trusted with your educational business. During the years I have represented you on the Board I have given close attention to school matters and I have been pleased of the ‘opportunity of giving much of my time on school business and attending Board meetings. I have not missed more than six meeting in fifteen years. It has been my privilege and pleasure to serve as Public School trustee for the past fifteen years. I am again a candidate for election in the voting which takes place Monday, December 7, and I ask for your support and your vote. ~ To The Electors of Richmond Hill School Section Ladies and Gentlemen â€" Make Sure You Vote l4 15 13 12 Polling Sub-Division MONDAY, December 7, 1953 7 Buttonville, Community Hall Lots 1 to 15 inclusive in Concessions 3 and 4 9 Hagerman, Residence Wm.

Seldom are surprise parties quite such a complete surprise as the miscellaneous shower given Miss Holmes on Tuesday Nov. 24 by the pupils of her school and members of the community. After being entertained earlier in the evening by Mrs. Gordon Baldwin, Miss Holmes found herself usher1 ed into a schoolfull of singing women and children who welcom- ed her whole heartedly. A com- parative newcomer to the com- munity, Miss Holmes could scar- cely comprehend the situation but after recovering from her surprise realized pupils and par- ents alike wished her much hap- piness in the future. Many love- ly and varied gifts were received as well as a special gift of a walnut end table. The pupils of the school gave her a gift of matching bread box, cake tins, sifter and garbage disposer. Their teacher thanked the pupils and their parents for such beautiful gifts after which "For She’s a Jolly Good Fellow” was sung. Refreshments were served by members of the W1. A special treat of ice cream was enjoyed by all. Birthdays Mrs. A. Stagg, Mrs. W. Raeburn, Last Monday evening Novem- ber 23rd members of the W.I. met at the home of Mrs. Paxton for a Lingerie party. A sing-song and game was conducted by Mrs. M. McClure after which she pre- sented the articles of merchan- dise. Through sales made, the W.I. received a percentage a- mounting to approximately $7.50. Another very worth while project held that evening was a pastry and vegetable shower to which the members brought sufficient food stuff to completeb' fill a car trunk. To all those who con- tributed so generously, thank you, it was greatly appreciated. Miscellaneous Shower Mrs. Thomen and her pupils have been getting a great deal of pleasure out of preparing such a Forth while Xmas program for he parents to enjoy. It is there- fore hoped that all members of the community will welcome the chance to purchase a ticket from the children so that they will have the pleasure of a large au- dience and also the opportunity to visit the museum early in the new year. On Monday evening December let at 8 pm. Mrs. Thomen and the pupils of the Temperanceville School are having a Xmas concert for which there is a small charge. The proceeds received will be used for the purpose of giving the senior pupils of the school a trip to the museum early in the new year. The program will con- sist of recitations, a nativity scene in pantomime with carols and a play entitled “Mother Goose’s Xmas. The Mission Band are having an afternoon tea and program for the parents on the afternoon of December 12th at 3 pm. The children are asked to please be at the church by 2:30 pm.

Grades 5 and 6 are very de- lighted with their new Ping-Pong table, which they try their skill at 9n rainy an_d stormy days. It was a pleasure to have Dr. Du Cannon speak to the congre- gation of Temperanceville United Church on his missionary work in India where he has spent the past 33 years. Dr. Du Cannon gave an insight into the beauty of India as well as the less fortun- ate ,clrcumstances of poverty and illness. Although a great deal has been done it' is but little in comparison to the great need. For but a handful of food the people will walk as many as 25 miles. There is but one Can- adian Dr. to assist in the 7 hos- pitals now operating and although Indian doctors are being trained, they cannot fill the great need for medical assistance. The work of the missionary in India is most gratifying and many are brought to Christ through their endeavours. ‘ Miss Sheila Cunningham had the honour of being awarded highest pupil in second form at high school while David McClure received the Intermediate Certif- icate at Commencement this past week. Mrs. George Bracken and her son Bruce, who was taking part in the square dancing competi- tion at the Royal Winter Fair, called on Mr. and Mrs. Fred Hare recently.
