Cherry Hill Farm is 10cated on No. 7 highway just east of Union- ville. The meeting will commence at 8.30 pm. Association President Bill Association President Bill Champion urges all township residents to avail themsel- ves 'of this opportunity to meet and hear the three candidates who are seeking the right to represent York North in the Ontario Legis- lature. The candidates rep- resenting the three major political partjes are Joe Dales. Liberal, Lex MacKen- ie ConserVative, and Larry Sheffe C.C.F.

Discussed for more than a year, the dispos- ition was still “up in the air” last week after representatives of the old and new county failed to come to agreement. Municipal Bdilay Decide Issue Still No Agreement On Disposition County Park “We’re as far apart as the poles," said Reeve Bev. Lewis of Etobi- 'coke, chairman of the parks com- mittee. The park was bought in 1951 for $120,000, of which $50,000 is still to be paid, by the old county of York. Since then the 12 suâ€" burban municipalities around Toronto, 85 per cent. of the old county, have been divorced from York and are in Metro. The continuing county of York wants to retain possession of the park, now valued at $500,000, despite the fact Metro has offer- ed to buy it for the original $120,000 and maintain it as a park in perpetuity. Still Far Apart The meeting was held as part of the Metro parks and planning committee semi-monthly get-to- gether. After 90 minutes it broke up 7 with no 'agreement: York county does not want to sell the park to Metro or to the province, said Ralph Corner, warden of York county. It wants to continue using the tract of land as a park and at a meeting in the near future will likely de- Leaves Home With Bow & Arrow Cloudy Trippell 15 year-old Teston youth who left home ear- ly this month to join the army, was located last week-end in Regina, Vaughan Township Pol- ice report.

There have been several sug- gestions in recent months that York county might sell the park for subdivision if it got into fin- ancial difficulty in years to come. To Present Brief “If we can keep it, we intend to have a park there,” said Mr. Corner. ‘We will do everything to hold ownership. . . . We have no ulterior motives. Our integ- rity'is still as good as when many of you were on the council.”_ The 12 local municipalities, other than Toronto, will receive 85 per cent of the assets of the old county of York. The distribu- tion has not been made as yet. If the distribution of assets committee fails to come toagree- ment on the park, it will have to go to the Ontario municipal board for a ruling. Chairman of the committee is Reeve Oliv- er Crockford of Scarborough. The Metro municipalities who used to be in York county indi- cated yesterday at the end of the meeting_that they will draw up a brief to be presented to the board. : Have No Objections “I know nothing about selling this property,” said Mr. Corner.

It is just one year ago this week that local dignitaries gathered together to attend he charter meeting of the Richmond Hill and District Kinsmen“ Club. At that time there were 21 char- ter members. In the past year. the Club has welcomed 11 new members. Local Kinsmen CIubPlans Elmer Safety Programme Kinsmen is a young men's ser- vice club which is national. in its scope. It is the only entirely Canadian Service Club and has grown in a few short years to have 300 clubs in cities and towns throughout all the 10 pro- vinces of; Canada. The Kinsmen Club of Richmond.

Prqtest Dump In a riding meeting held last Friday, Liberal candi- date Joe Dales avowed his intention if elected in the forthcoming Provincial e1- ection, to obtain maximum benefits ‘ for York County with particular regard to some form of relief from the Complaints regarding the cre- ation of a dump and wrecking yard near Vivian on the Bill concession were discussed and the matter will receive police in- vestigation; council agreed. Dogs A number of complaints were also tabled concerning dogs run- ning at large at Wilcox Lake. There was some discussion on the matter and the comment was made that possibly the situation was not so bad as "painted". However, it was agreed that the township should have a bylaw forbidding dogs running at large in the entire township and not just at Wilcox Lake as at present. Clerk Jack Crawford read a sample bylaw to council and members agreed that a sim- ilar bylaw should be prepared for Whitchurch. ‘ Fire Area “undue burden foisted up. on the county by the Con- servative government's con- troversial bill 80”.

Albert Fire Brigade Mr. Dales, who is Reeve of the Town of Newmarket. and one of that municipal- ity’s two representatives on York county council is the Liberal standard bearer for the riding of York North in the June 9th Ontario elec- \tion. Mr. Dales stated he is con- vinced Metro Chairman Fred Gardiner, “doesn‘t intend to permit any recompense be made to York county for the loss sustained when 85% of its assessment was placed in the Metropolitan Area." “Why is the Municipal Board taking so long to rule on the undue burden?” queried the speaker. ' “I feel quite sure that the Municipal Board has no in- tention of ruling on the mat- ter until after the Provincial election.” Reviewing his six years Service on Municipal Coun- cil, Mr. Dales promised his listeners that, "if the people of York North see fit to send me to Queen’s Park as their representative after June / 9. I shall certainly do every- thing'in my power to force a new deal for the northern municipalities." 106th Annual Crowd 0% 6,000 Attend Annual Fair MOWBI Throws Nut 300 Feet Douglas Wellesley, farmer, 3rd concession of King, was cutting his grass recently with a power lawn mower when the mower picked up half a machine nut lying on the ground, heaved it over 300 feet in the direction of the house. The nut went through the screen door, through an oval'glass pane in the china cabinet. and hit the back of the china cabinet without breaking any of the dishes.

Next Friday morning, May 27, Elmer flags will be presented to' the three schools in Richmond Hill to get’ the safety campaign underway.
