Mr. A. L. Helmsley, Parks Di- vision of the Dept. of Lands and Forests, was the speaker at the Richmond Hill Naturalists' meet- ing. He gave an over-all picture of the plans that the department is working on to provide many more recreational areas for pub- lic use in Ontario. “Parks" was defined as a tnact of land. in its natural state. set aside for the public use and for recreational purposes. This does not necess- arily mean picnic and camping areas or forested sections but al- so swamps and sand dunes. In this way, the fanuna and flora of every decription. according to its environment, are set aside for the people to learn and enjoy. Anoth-‘ er appropriate name could be "Provincial Primitive Areas". In the Peterboro district, “Serpent Mound Park" has been chosen because of its Indian burial grounds. Through digging, more information is compiled each year about the early Indian his- tory of our country. Most’of Mr. Helmsley's pictures were taken at Algonquin Park because he has worked there for several years, building up.its nature pro- gramme to its present excellent level.

The evening lectures and pictures have proven so popular it has been necessary to move to a larger building. This is possibly an indication of how much the public appreciates these parks and will continue to value in fu- ture years. Mrs. K. James Questions Representation Hearing Notes DONALD S. LENO, Associate Editor D1 Cowan has expressed his thanks to both the Kinsmen Club and the Richâ€" mond Hill Women 3 Institute for finan- cial donations already received from these two organizations. It is hoped the general public will see fit to follow the example of these two local groups. A general compaign for funds is due to get underway on Monday, April 8. The important fund raising commit- tee is under the capable chairmanship of Stan Ransom Jr., who has been ac- tively engaged as a player for a num- ber of years. Associated with Mr. Ran- som on the campaign committee are W. Dodds, C. Rowntree, G. Gourlay and W. Ellis. The actual request for funds will take the form of a general canvass of the town. The Kinsmen Club have very generously offered to organize and dir- ect the canvass which is in itself one of the main functions of the whole opera- tion. A systematic and well organized canvass is of the utmost importance if everyone is to be reached and given an opportunity to participate in the pro- ject. tive are Vice-President A.

"There is a difference between sending a letter and. a member of Council making a personal ap- pearance”, replied Mrs. James. “Mr. Graham should have made it clear what he wanted".

This year Richmond Hill may have Daylight Saving time from April 28 until Oc- tober 27. Final decision rests with Richmond Hill Town Council, but in the past 10- cal councils have followed the lead of Toronto and the City this year will have fast time for a month longer than last year. Toronto City Council Mon- day by a vote of 15 to 3 voted to have the Daylight Saving Time period extended from April 28 to October 27. It was pointed out this will be the practice in most On- tario and Quebec municipal- ities.

The table settings were enhanced by the artistic arrangement of roses. snapdragons and lilies, to which an appropriate amount of “Irish Green" was added. Following the dinner, the toast “To the Ladies" was proposed by Mr. Ralph Kerslake, and res- ponded to by Mrs. G. K. Martin: Club president Dickson Miller called for a hearty vote of thanks to Afternoon W.A. president Mrs. A. R. Phipps, Convenor Mrs. Robert Miller and to the ladies of the Afternoon W.A. for their efforts in preparing and serving the excellent dinner. Following a brief business ses- sion. musical entertainment was provided by Mrs. John Wynne. who, appropriately attired in ’green, sang three Irish numbers ‘Leprechaun', ‘I’m not Myself at all'. and ‘Shule Agra’. For her encore, the vocalist delighted the audience with her spirited sing- ing of “Romance’ from the 'Desert Song‘, with Mrs. F. W. Morrow as pianist.

This was an. nounced this week at a meeting of council. For some time now, the two groups have been nego- tiating for a salary agrement but in both cases, there have been points of disagreement Under the provisions of the Police Act both sides will now choose an arbitrator, and if agreeable ap- point a third man to act as chair- man. to decide the issue.

The speaker. Mrs. R. H. Neil of Thomhill. histori- cal consultant for the creation of the Pioneer Agricultural Mu- eum at Dalziel Park in Vaughan Township, was thoroughly con- versant with all phases of her subject. and supplemented the Showing of her color films with a running commentary. These pic- tures graphically showed the am- ount of time and effort already expended in the collecting and preserving of implements and ar- ticles used in pioneer Canadian life. Pictures also showed the ex- terior and interior of the speak- er's own home, built and furnish- ed from beautiful wood, sewn from logs removed from an an- cient barn. In conclusion the speaker invited all to become in- terested in the Dalziel project and to assist in its development. Mr. Lauder Glass thanked Mrs. Neil for her interesting and in- formative address. Bouquets of red roses were presented to Mrs. Neil and Mrs. Wynne by club president Dickson Miller. Last month Bishop Wilkinson acted in favour of a petition from the rector and wardens at Maple and King requesting the old Par- ish of King be divided into two new parishes. This change was felt necessary due to the pres- sure of church expansion. The present incumbent. the Rev. D. C. H. Michell, will continue to serve the other half of the for- mer Parish of King as rector at St. John's, Oak Ridges and St. Mark’s Chapel at Wilcox Lake. One of Dean Jennings greatest single tasks while at St. Luke’s Cathedral has been the rebuilding and completion of the Cathedral, following its virtual destruction by fire in 1952. Besides his regu- lar clerical duties and parochial responsibilities, the Dean was Chaplain of the 49th Medium Anti-Aircraft Regiment (Militia) and was President of the Sault Ste. Marie Ministerial Associa- tion. He also took an active in- terest in the local Historical So- ciety there. The Dean's favourite hobbies are fishing and garden- ing. His keen interest in the lat- ter led him to have the Cathedral grounds landscaped after the re- building was completed. Today the gardens around the Cathed- ral and Deanery are kept in beau- tiful condition. Has Two Children x The benediction by the Rev. C.

Council however did not favour an additional request for 21 days for patrol sergeants and detectives. Court Time Court time was reduced from three hours as requested to two hours as it was felt the establish- ment of a traffic court at} Maple will cut the need for three hours. Holidays It was agreed'that an employe who is on duty on a statutory holiday would be entitled to one day off duty. However, council only sanctioned seven statutory holidays compared to 11 request- ed.

Mr. Taylor continued that there would be definite drainage prob- lems in extending the subdivis- ion and cited drainage difficul- ties already being experienced due to incomplete provision for water. “We need definite assur- ance from the engineers that ad- equate planshave been'made for the handling of surface drain- age", he said. Councillor James Haggart was in accord with Mr. Taylor’s views and he added that he had many matters to discuss with the engin- eers before he would be agree- able to the proposal. It was finally decided that fur- ther consideration of the propos- als will be held over to a future meeting. NORTH YORK : School construc- tion costs have jumped 35 per cent in the period from March 1955. Reeve W. J.
