O’Reilly Addresses St. Mary’s Church Credit Union The third Annual meeting of St. Mary‘s (Richmond Hill) Cred- it Union Limited was held in the Separate School on Monday evening. January 17, 1955. The meeting. under the chairmanship of President John R. Benson, heard the reports of the Board of Directors, the Treasurer and the Credit and Supervisory Com- mittees. all of which reflected the steady, healthy growth the Credit Union has enjoyed since it's incorporation. Present as- sets are slightly in excess of $3.- 000.00 most of which is invest- ed in loans to members and the Credit Union ended the year with an operational profit of $195.00. The members voted in favour of a dividend of 3% pay- able to shareholders of record at December 31, 1954 and a re- bate of 10% of the interest paid by members who used the loan facilities of the Credit Union during the year. Change Business Hours The members of St. Mary’s Credit Union voted to change their hours of business and henceforth, the Credit Union will be open for business on Monday evenings, from 7:30 to 9:00 Conservation Group Considers RebuildingOf FormerMill Dams _ At a recent meeting of the Rouge, Duffin.

Mr. Crown of the Department! of Planning and Development pointed out that there used to be numerous mill dams on the streams which aided in holding back flood waters. "Few of these dams now exist, he said, adding, “It would be an advantage to rebuild or replace some of these dams as an aid'in maintaining summer stream flow, and assist- ing in flood control.” It was deci- ded to include in the 1955 budâ€" get an amount of $2,500.00 for the Authority's share of engin- eering costs up to the point of calling for tenders for small dams. Engage Engineer The Authority decided to en- gage an engineer to advise on the design and layouts of farm ponds. A subsidy towards the cost of farm ponds up to $75 was also authorized. The subsidy will be paid to the landowner upon successful completion of the pond. The chairman of the Forestry Advisory Board was authorized to purchase a tree planting ma- chine for the ’55 season. The planter will be available for rent for private tree planting in the watershed. Due to the fact that the 1954 executive had been in office on- ly since the Authority was form- ed last April, the members au- thorized the present ofiicers to continue for 1955. They are as follows: Chairman C. R. Purcell; viceâ€"chairman, Edward Logan; secretary Earl Graham; treasurer T. J. Wignall. Budget $9.000 The 1955 budget was set at $9,000, $5,750 of which will be the Authority's share, to be raisâ€" ed by the member municipali- ties.

Marks End Of Association With County "York Township, An Histori-‘ cal Summary, 1850-1954," pub- lished by the Council and Board of Education is an attractive vol- ume Vof over 130 pages and pro-_ fusely illustrated. Distributed in the schools and public librar- ies in the tawnship, it has been published to mark the end of York Township’s association with York County in 1953 and its becoming an area municipal- ity in 1954 of Metropolitan Tor- onto. Copies of the book have been sent also to the leading 1i- braries in York County and the Toronto metropolitan area. How York Township which surroun- -ded Toronto became a string of urban municipalities on the city's border and were strang- ling the city's growth. due to the latter's “Chinese wall" policy, is traced in this historical sum- mary PoliceWork Rewarding Career Says Rotary Guest‘ Speaker At its weekly meeting on January 24, the club had as its principal guest Inspector Law- son Mumberson, who has spent 30 years in the Toronto Police. over 20 of them in the Criminal Investigation Department, and the last four in charge of the 11th District. and. who gave a most interesting address on his experience. Law Abiding Toronto Toronto is one of the most law? abiding cities of its size in North America, but it has a share in all the manifold varieties of crime. and as the city increases in size and becomes a larger cen- tre for all the unsettled persons of the province, the work of the police grows in volume and var- iety. We hear much of the inâ€" ternational ramifications of crime, but less publicity has been given to the very close liaison between national police authori- ties, and even the scientific cri- minal is finding the going rough, as police technique and police la- boratories have developed fast. Challenging Aspect One challenging aspect of pol- ice work is the fact that you meet people who are always in trouble. whether they are the criminals, their victims, or just the many ordinary citizens in- volved in accident or misfor- tune. Another challenge is the fact that petty crime is made easy by the carelessness of the law-abiding. and it is undetect- ed successful pettvy thieving which leads to the committing of major offences. Gambling and drug trafficking are the only spheres where there is organiz- ation of crime, and these show also the worst record of violence. Crime does not pay, not only because of the detection and re- tribution, but also due to the flaw in character which makes most criminals waste the pro- ceeds of their offences, and so drive themselves on to further appear to rely mainly on the po- lice organization, but Inspector crime. Law enforcement may Mumberson stressed the still greater importance of an alert and .co-operative citizenry, a fac- tor which has had much to do with Toronto’s excellent record. Rewarding Career Police service is a rewarding and interesting career: the RC. MP. has lowered its entry age to 18, though most local forces require an age of 21, but Toron- to fakes a small number of Dolice cadets at 1 7years old. Conditions of service are arduous at times in any career where the job must go through, but this is made up for by good wages 9nd evnellent by good wages and excellent sickness and retirement penswn a wide basis. involving a thorâ€" ough knowledge of the locality. the criminal code. the local by- The refusal of Toronto to 'Also Odds and Ends Birqlgen lines of Boy’s Oxfords annex urbanized areas of the township thus forcing those ar- eas to incorporate and set up duplicate municipal organiza- tions such as Forest Hill, Swan- sea, East York Township.
