His subjects were not easy for the students. but he was always eager to help them. and would stay behind after lectures trying to clear up any difficulties students had. To the young men he seemed a wonder. His courtesy was un- failing and his knowledge took him off into a world of his own. Not many of us can hand out money, we nee what we earn in order to get y but we can be generous in passing along whole - hearted appreciation which actually is better than money. I think I mentioned some time ago that I told a well- known broadcaster in New York how much I enjoyed listening to his clear. wellâ€"rounded voice and that he was quite pleased. He told me that he got So many letters of criticism that they got him down. It was all a great surprise to me, for I consider him about the best in the busi- ness. The incident made me realize how easy and necessary it is to pass along a little en- couragement. Once. when preaching in an Ontario church, I went out of my way a little to say some kind words about the choir. Af- ter the service the choirmaster said: “That is the first compli- ment we have had from the pulpit in ten years." Perhaps his memory was failing a little but it showed a bit of smould- ering resentment that could be easily cleared up. When the day came for him to retire the boys got together and gave him a‘ memorable farewell. One student speaking for all, said they had all been deeply touched by his unselfish life and gentle patience. They were often boisterous and care- leSS in their studies, but in their hearts they loved and honored him. Then on behalf of the class the speaker gave him a purse. - One student who was present wrote an account of that fare- well. He never forgot how deeply moved the old man .was; For a while he could not speak. Edgeley Bull Goes To Australia Vaughan Township Coun- cil recently awarded gravel tenders for the 1956 season. Four tenders were received for the two sections of the township. Gormley Sand and Gravel was the Successful bidder for the area east of Higfiway 400 at a price of $1.40 per ton for 5,000 tons. Mainline Contracting Co.’s tender for the area west of Highway 400 was accepted at $1.57 per ton for 5,000 tons. WHEN SHADOWS CROSS A ward Gravel Tenders - (Continued from page 1) urged that it be laid out at least, so that prospective industrialists could get at the available sites. He reported that J. A. Bailey was going ahead with the’ improve- ment of Industrial Street through the industrial area and hoped to have it opened by May 15th. Several complaints were re- ceived concerning the overflow from Arnold Street pump house. For some time there has been trouble at this station at times of heavy rainfall. Reeve Taylor moved that the engineers be ask- ed for an immediate report on the situation and that action be taken at once to correct the sit- uation. It was pointed out that the in- dustrial expansion so much de- sired by all will be expedited by having streets open in the dist- rict so that prospective purchas- ers can see the property. Former councillor J. H. Rice was named a representative of the Village in the arbitration proceedings concerning the pro- posed dissolution of the Rich- mond Hill Union School section. The appointment was made unanimously on motion of coun- cillors Plaxton and Perkins. Approve Plans Council agreed to the Board of Transport Commission pro- portioning of cost for the install- ation and operation of warning signals at the ONE. crossing on Markham Road, sixty per cent of the cost of installation is paid from the Grade Crossing fund, 25 per cent by the village and 15 per cent by C.N.R. Installa- tion costs are estimated at $7.- 900. The maintenance costs estimates at $680 per year will be shared equally by the C.N.R. and the village. Councillor Perkins observed that he thought the crossing on Centre Street to be the most dangerous of the two. Councillor Jones observed however that the traffic on Cen- tre was not nearly as heavy as on Markham Road. As a protection to village streets council decided to insert in all subâ€"division agreements clauses prohibiting sub-divider from using existing streets as access roads to a new sub-divis- ions. In the past considerable damage has been done village streets by large trucks and con- struction equipment. Wilson who acted as special counsel in the recent court act- ion against the Village of Richâ€" mond Hill by Mrs. Annie Steph- ens submitted his account which amounted to $5,453. The Vill- age was made responsible for payment of costs in the action. and it is estimated the final to- tal will run to more than $12,000. Had it not been for these legal bills which council must pay there might have been a one or two miil reduction in the Rich- mond Hill 1956 tax rate. What the quality of kindness can do for people. the world seldom knows. Many of the songs which have stirred most deeply, and moved profoundly, the heart of humanity, have re- vealed soul hunger for symp- athy and companionship. Take. for instance, these lines by Carrie Jacobs Bond: " fimmnmnmmmmmm The boys themselves were deeply moved and quite sur- prised. They didn’t think that a little show of appreciation would so affect a man who was so scholarly and distinguished. The truth is that no man or woman was ever born who did not enjoy some apreciation. It is too bad we often forget that. Sometimes when shadows cross my path. As shadows sometimes do. I reach my hands across the mist And touch the hand of you. I know the sun is in the sky, I know true love is true; But‘oh, it comforts in the dark To touch the hand of you. when he was able to say any- thing he astonished them: “Gentlemen, I have no words to tell you how happy you have made me. I prize your affection more than all my knowledge and honours which have come in other ways. I have often been discouraged and tempted to think you did not care, but 1 know I was mistaken. God bless you all.” Through all the silence of the years. Through friendships old and new, The dearest mem'ry of my life I touched the hand of you. So clouds and sorrow come along, We all must have a few; But throggl} fihem all, please de. let me Still touch the hand of you E “Be kind, be gentle, we are all having a hard ' lime." mmnmmmmmmummmmm Appointed CBC ‘ Director Mrs. J.

Our quotation today‘is some advice given to clergymen by Ian Mac- laren: ~’ Ground Observers To Visit New Plant On Wednesday, May 9, the Ground Observers Corps of the RCAF has been invited to visit the new Frigidaire Piant on the Golden Mile. ‘A top-notch speaker has been lined up. who will talk on Search and Rescue”. He is Squadron Leader R. H. Strouts, C.D., who enlisted in 4940 and served with the R.A.F. on heavy bombers and completed a tour of operations before returning as an instrucâ€" tor in 1943 with the RCAF Six Group, on search and rescue. S/L Strouts is one of the top men in his field. and knows search and rescue operations in- side and out. He will no doubt tell how the Ground Observer Corps ties in \very closely with their operations, and how valu- able our work is to their opera- tions. There will be a presentation of wings to those observers who have earned them, and all Oh- servation Post Personnel are in- vited. Observers from as far north as Barrie, and Alliston, as far west as Cooksville and Mal- ton,\and as far east as Bowman- ville and Orono, are expected. In addition to the above, it Is expected that there will be one or two very interesting films, and also a plant tour. 1954 PONTIAC HARD TOP with extras Many more to choose from and priced to sell Baker’s Sales & Service This Village has grown very rapidly â€" in fact you often re- fer to it as Canada's fastest growing municipality â€"- and we still have large areas unde- veloped.
