2 THE LIBERAL, Richmtfld Hill, Ont, Thursday, November 17, 1955 Roads in Markham and Vaughan Township havé suffered heavily under the present barrage of‘ heavy speeding The Don Mills Road has been tag- ged as a particularly bad spot for speed- ing trucks and the number of serious accidents involving heavy trucks in that area in recent nnonths indicates a press- ing need for strict law enforcement. Parents in this area have expressed grave concern for the safety of chfldren walking along the road to and from school. W. S. COOK, Editor A recent survey on the matter pointed out that gravel and construction company trucks are the greatest offen- ders. Not only are they driven too fast, but in many cases they are overloaded and spill anything from cement blocks to pebbles on the roads. Municipal and Provincial Police have willingly pledged support to the recent proposal by the Attorney-Gener- al’s Department to cut down on speedâ€" ing'by trucks. This measure is particul- which see municipal roads ruined by arly welcomed by Municipal Councils overloading and accident hazards in- creasing as more and more trucks be- come involved in serious accidents.

Telephone TUrner 4-1261 “Authorized as second class mail, Post Office Department, Ottawa‘ The Board wishes to draw to the attention of the voters that the above cost is in addition to monies required to provide new accommo- dation for the usual annual increase in school population. If the 1955 Assessment and Equalizing Factor remain constant, this expenditure would mean an increase of approximately 5% mills for kindergartens alone. The following estimates are given as an indication of costs for kindergartens at September, 1956. Six kindergartens would be re- quired to accommodate the 325 pupils expected (one-half day per pupil basis). This is based on 1954, 1955 surveys, with allowances for the normally-expected increase in population. These figures do not pro- vide for new residential developments which have been reported by the press. The Public Schools Act gives the Board authority to provide Kin~ dergarten instruction. As this programme of instruction would be far- reaching in its involvements, the Board is seeking the advice of the voters. The .voters will realize that priority must be given to the pro- vision of accommodation for pupils of regular grades and because of this, the Kindergarten programme may be somewhat delayed in com- pletion.

For some years now, Great Britain has had a system of speed limits to regulate all types of traffic, whether it be a small car, a delivery van or a trans- port. According to the system, the larger the vehicle, the greater its acci- dent potential, and therefore the speed limit is reduced. While there are still accidents on British highways, the gen- eral accident hazard is greatly reduced. trucks. And while local police have been checking more and more vehicles each week for overloads, there are many left unchecked every day to ravage the roads. Road maintenance has become one of the most expensive items on most municipalities’ annual budgets. 1956 Annual Cost .

Rated as equal to "Shane" and other great Western dram- as, this picture stars James The story deals with 12 mem- bers of the heroic 8th air force and the ‘pressure of responsi- bility they undergo in the stress of combat. There is plenty of action and drama and the sus- pense and excitement is sus- tained throughout the whole picture. I won‘t give away the plot in advance but instead sug- gest you make a strong effort to see this picture for a real treat. Coming to the Richmond The- atre on Thursday and Friday, November 24 and 25 is the fa- mous Gregory Peck picture, 12 O’CLOCK HIGH. The picture is rated as being one of the def- initive aviation pictures of the last war. The amusing thing is that Hollywood has entered an- other aviation picture cycle and is producing numerous epics along that line. This picture ties in with the cycle, being one of the first and greatest of av- iation pictures. Photographed in Technicolor. the picture is cram-packed with songs, production numbers. stars and personalities galore and is a musical feast for those who enjoy fine entertainment and mature drama about fam- ous personalities. The plot is similar to many biopics in that Romberg has two loves â€" his wife and his music and a lot of the drama and plot revolves out of this conflict. As the picture starts, Romberg is taunted into writing a popular song and with the help of a number of close assoc- iates he soon embarks on a dis- tinguished career as a Broad- way composer and producer of operettas. As a climax to the picture, he fulfills an ambition by conducting the New York Symphony Orchestra in Carneg- ie Hall. It's ironic that two shows each devoted to a different composer should follow each other into the Richmond thea- tre. Last week it was “There's No Business Like Show Busin- ess". which was devoted to the music of Irving Berlin. Starting next Monday for a three day run is DEEP IN MY HEART. the story of Sigmund Romherg. The film features 22 of his fam- ous songs and runs for more than two hours.

The W 1" MASONIC HALL WEDNESDAY - NOVEMBER 30 8 pm. sharp by NORMAN G. CANDIDATES Clerk, Township of Vaughan OF RICHMOND HILL ide Screen J. M. MCDONALD, As I am one 0 travels the highways a great deal and am often caught in congested traf- fic. I feel I must say that never have I seen traffic moving in such a clock-like manner as was handled by Constable Bill -Adams of the Vaughan Town- ship Police on Armistice Day in Richmond Hill. Not one motorâ€" ist who asked him a question was greeted with a scowl or a sour look. Old people and children wishing to cross an intersection soon caught his eye and were safely guided across to the other side. Such acts as these are truly Worthy of men‘ tion. and I say our village owes many thanks to Vaughan Town- ship for the services of an of- ficer of this type.

Tentatively it would star Jackie Gleason and be titled “King of Jazz.” “Dear Mr. Editor” BROWNE Stewart as the lone white man trying to keep the peace be- tween the Indians and some warring white men. There are factions amongst the white men and also among the Indians that want to start war in the western plains. but Jimmy Stewart has a talk with the great Indian leader Cochise and a temporary peace is made. More trouble is started and it is only through the efforts of these two that the peace is kept. Jeff Chandler produces a sock role as the Indian Leader Cochise and such was the ac- claim when this picture was re- leased that a sequel dealing primarily with Cochise was made and for a while it looked like a new series had been born. Debra Paget is also outstand- ing as an Indian girl who falls -in love with Stewart. Lewis Clement Centre St. 15.. Richmond Hill is aware of its final outcome and the transition of the characters from bad to good becomes unin- ‘teresting. The play was done justice by the cast whose range of acting goes beyond the re- quirements of the play itself. Criticism is often given small- town dramatic groups for their choice of plays if profanity hapâ€" pens to exist throughout or if the theme tends to stray away from the straight and narrow. However, by adhering to this form. a good plot is often lost and is replaced by one which is only too obvious. Audiences like a brain-teaser which they con- sider a challenge to be overcome. When the play has progressed pnly a sho_rt__w11i1e[ the audience Fellow boarders Miss Kite (Jessie Yerex), Mrs. Tompkins (Betty Lewis) and Mrs. Percival de Hooley (Cicely Thomson) all handled their parts with ease. Confronting the audience with the only real situation were the young lovers Vivian, Tompkins (Edith Jones) and Christopher Penny (Paul Morley) who were mixed up in the inevitable love triangle with Joey Wright. Rex Sevenoaks, under whose direc- tion the club presented an en- joyable evening‘s entertainment. appeared briefly as the German Bandsman. Comedy is provided by Harry Larkcom (George Sweenyi. Jape Samuels (Joseph Rabinowitch) and Joey Wright (John Stocks), all questionable characters who deserved more of an opportunity to show their talents. At one point, Harry Larkcom displays his agility as a song and dance man, complete with striped blaz- er and walking stick. The audi- ence would have liked to, see more of this trio.

Any production without a vill- ian would sseem lifeless for most audiences who depend on such casting for variety of action and suspense. Most playwrights achieve a fair balance between the good and bad characters, but Jerome K. Jerome's The Passing of the Third Floor Back. produc- ed last week-end by The Curtain Club before three full houses. has all but two of its cast of 13 as villians in their own right. In spite of this over-abundance of possibilities. the play is stereo- typed in form and by the end of the first act it is obvious The Stranger «Ivor Jackson) will suc- ceed in his role of converting his boarding house companions to the ‘love thy neighbour' adage which is the moral theme of the play. .7,, ,"w," The Stranger. who represents the Spirit of Christ. comes to live at a boarding house in Lon- don, operated by Mrs. Sharpe (Edna Izzard), whose lodgers. like her. are concerned only with self.
