Melvin Wellman was elected trustee to replace Stewart Rum- ble. who is retiring. A motion was passed to place an exit at the west end of the school. Charlie Barker has been spen- ding a few days at the home of his cousins, Mr. and Mrs. Nixon of Manilla, and on Sunday last. his parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Barker went there to bring him home. (Service of Holy Communion was held in Headford Church on Sunday. Attending the service .was Mrs. Marshall, who has been visiting with her daughter. Mrs. Melvin Weilman.

Guest of the evening will be Mr. Frank Tate, former teacher at Danforth Technical School, who will show pictures in color of many Canadian scenes.

Editor As far as the season goes, winter is probably one of the busiest for most people. It seems that all the projects that were left undone in the spring and summer accumulate for the winter, par- ticularly indoor jobs. Many interior home remodelling projects are under- taken during the winter months and particularly after Christmas. Perhaps it may involve a new clothes closet, some built-in cupboards a work bench in the basement or may even be as extensive as the installation of a, second bathroom or a recreation room. Home supply com- panies now offer complete plans, and easily handled materials for converting {iour attic into extra living accommoda- on. Possibly for the farmer, more than anyone else, is the winter an opportun- ity t9 catch up on all the little repairs and projects around the farm. Per- Thus it is encouraging to see men from Cobourg, Cornwall, Sarnia, Sud- bury â€" to mention but a. random few ~â€" of the 200 member Boards and Chambers travelling to London at their own expense and taking two days out of busy lives to thrash out present Highway accidents â€"- traffic bot- tlenecks -â€" more and more cars. Unless something is done about it, Ontario will slow to a standstill and the government cannot do it all. It is of particular interest to note that annual school meetings in this area have been generally poorly attend- ed this year. At Oak Ridges less than fifteen ratepayers turned out to hear the report of the Board of Trustees while at Jefferson only about twenty were interested enough in the school’s affairs to attend the annual meeting. At Jefferson, there was even some dif- ficulty in securing a candidate for Trus- tee to replace the retiring member of the Board. At its Annual Meeting recently, The Ontario Chamber of Commerce de- voted its programme to “Ontario on Wheels”. It is a timely subject. Now why is there such apathy. Surely the education of children is of sufficient interest to every parent to attend such a school meeting. The tax« es for the year and the operation of the school depend to a great extent on the choice of person or persons to act as Walter Craig, Secretary-Treasurer, R. R. 2 Gormley, Ont.

Coming , to the Richmond Theatre next Monday and Tues- day is HELL’S ISLAND, a thud and blunder suspenseful action melodrama of the “old School" of film making. Instead of a colorful extravaganza with lots of beautiful scenery and strong characterization and no plot, this picture is all plot. intrigue, suspense and adventure. John Payne is the hero who is hired by an international smuggler to find out what hap- penned to a gem he was having smuggled out of a South Amer- ican town. When he arrives at the town he finds that his for- mer fiancee, who jilted him to marry the smuggling flier, is involved in the assignment. From here on in,- the story gets very involved with the girl, portrayed by Mary Mur- phy playing a very secret and involved. game. The gangsters are trying to find out if Payne is doing his job and for a long time Payne runs around in a circle trying to find out what is going on and getting roughed up in the effort. The story views like 8 Mickey Spillane novel. with a strong hero, a sexy blond, a complicated plot, lots of raw violence and a triple surprise ending. Showing at the Richmond Theatre on Wednesday and Thursday is a double-bill laugh riot, DOCTOR IN THE HOUSE and GENEVIEVE. Both pic- tures received strong receptions and long runs in their playooff dates in Toronto and so much of a Hit was "Doctor in the House" that a sequel was made and is currenin playing in the city. "Doctor" starts with Simon. a lean handsome young man who enters St. Swithin‘s Hospi- tal. His first day is filled with terror as he accidentally wan- ders into the out-patients de- partment while seeking the whereabouts of the lecture the- atre. After a few hilarious ad- ventures, he flnds the lecture room and the scandalized gaze of the Dean. From there he is plunged into a life of adventure and misadventure as he fights off his landlady’s amorous dau- ghter, passes examinations wt h unexpected ease and fine y lands in the dizzying heights of professional medicine. “Genevieve” is the name of a car, an old model-type car which completely fascinates the people in the small town in The Wide Screen haps the tractor needs an overhaul or other implements need a coat of paint; winter is the time to do it, after the har- vest is in and the snow starts. It is a. good idea to utilize the winter months to grease all implements and make any necessary repairs to insure everything will be ready for spring. The action of the men of The Ont- ario Chamber of Commerce symbolizes our determination to grasp our destiny in our own hands nor to let dim th light of individual effort. ' Winter is also a good time to ’catch up on back reading or hobbies. In fact, winter is the time to do all those little things you have been planning all year and have never gotten around to doing. And it’s a good idea to get at things right away because like all seasons, win- ter seems to slip by before all the pro- jects get done. ~ Their efforts are akin in many ways to the barn-raising bees of the pioneer days. They come mostly from small places and they unite in doing big things. The farm house may need a bit of cheering up too and with the newest in- ventions in odour-free paints, this is an easy matter. ‘There is the possibility that the lack of attendance in all these cases is an indication of whole-hearted endorse- ment of the policy and actions of the various Boards. If not, then there should be more interest and a. greater attendance. There is no other conclus- ion than that the ratepayers are giving their representatives a “carte blanche” for the coming year. It seems unfor- tunate that in a democracy people in general take so much for granted and so put little effort into exercising and protecting their rights. problems confronting Ontario. It is encouraging, too, to realize that these men and others like them spend a great deal of time and energy in selfless devotion to the collective in- terests of their community. Trustee.

Leaf Looking over last year's clip- pings we came across several in- teresting items which may prove interesting. For some, 1955 held much sorrow; there were others for whom it held great change; and there were those who will remember it as an especially happy time. There were several who took interesting trips last yearA Dr. and Mrs. Geo. Kelly and Mr. and Mrs. E Crisp spent part of the Local School Board Meeting On Wednesday of last week there were approximately a doz- en people present when the el- ection of officers for Buttonville school board was held at the school. The four men who served last year were re- elected â€" Chairman S. R.

These men are doing an excellent job â€" so why not applaud? During the past year the new two-room addition to the school was completed and an ofiicial opening has been planned for the near future. Staff difficulties arose last term and Mr. Duncan MacPherson, the principal, left.at Christmas time. He will be succeeded by Mr. Murray Roberts of Agin- court. CGIT Christmas Party January saw Brown's Corners Church redecorated, with all groups assisting financially. New carpet was laid in both the church auditorium and the par- lours, and new furniture was pur- chased for the Sunday School. By March, Agincourt telephone subscribers were using dial phones in their own area; during the summer months, homes in Arnleigh Heights which had stood 'vacant as a ghost town for a year were gradually sold, until now they are almost all occupied. In August, much to the chagrin of the neighbours, an asphalt plant sprang up on the property formerly owned by Markham Sand and Gravel â€" its tall smoke stacks spout evil smelling black smoke â€" and could its greed for water be one reason why so many in the area have had well trouble? During 1955, several farms changed hands, and real estate men made attractive off- These public spirited citizens deserve our best support. If things go badly they get much abuse from those who forget that On Friday of last week, Mrs. Stanley DeFoe entertained CGIT girls of the Victoria Square cir- cuit at a dinner party held in her home. After dinner there was a Christmas tree. and the girls exchanged gifts which were dis- tributed by Mrs. Santa Claus.

The Brigger family moved to Don Mills late last week. They formerly occupied the house va- cated by Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Boyington last summer. It was good to see the Newsons of Lakefield at church on Sunday morning. They were holiday guests of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Spears. The E. Waltons spent Christ- mas week with their daughter and her family in Port Credit. Over New Year's they entertain- ed guests at their own home. On Tuesday and Wednesday of the week before Christmas there were the school and church con- crts. Buttonville school child- ren held their program in But- tonville hall, and a gala event it was. Miss Howard’s junior grades presented songs, recitations and skits in the mood of the season, and the little pink Christmas an- gel convinced us all.

I am the proud owner of two purebred German Shepherds who are not allowed off our property unless my husband or I are with them. Every time I go walking with my dog. who is highly regarded as a well trained and loveabie Shepherd, In our immediate neighborhood and elsewhere. I am constantly annoyed by other dogs, coming at us. On Thursday, December 22, last. in the am. a fight between a brown dog which I believe is part Shepherd and my dog took place while I was on my way to Yonge St. In the ensuing melee which resulted when I would not let go of my dog’s choke chain, 1 was bitten by the other dog ‘and required medical attention. Since this has happened I have had a very unpleasant holiday week due to the fact that I am still undergoing medical treatment at this date. I have sent a letter to the Council regarding this un- happy incident and trust that it such an attack occurs again that the proper action will be taken by the authorities; Yours very truly, Grace E. Probert 242 Richmond St., It seems that the man in question, a former Windsor resident. moved to Rich- mond Hill area recently and was thrilled to think of work- ing in the city and living in the country. Before the week was out he was beginâ€" ning to wonder how he could buck that traffic into Toronto every morning and out to Richmond Hill every night. “It was a nightmare each morning and evening". comments the Windsor Edi- tor. According to an item which appeared in the Windsor Daily Star on December 28, at least one resident of Richmond Hill district is dis- illusioned with commuting to Toronto every day in hectic traffic.
