Suburban municipalities lying on the fringe of mushrooming metropolitan areas such as our own county are faced with many pressing problems. A real measure of assistance, and guidance could be afforded the smaller munici- palities through such a joint co-operaâ€" tive effort. The free exchange of ideas would prove invaluable to a host of loc~ a1 officials. Invitations could be sent to council members, school trustees, plan- ning board members and administra- t1ve ofiiCIals. Experts in the various fields of municipal planning and finances could be asked to address the gatherings. These could include 'not only officials from the provincial government but also from private business. Lecture periods could be followed by open debate. The net result of such group meet- ings would be to give municipal leaders a better understanding of their common problems. The ‘knowledge gained through such a conference could assist in the preparation of future provincial and municipal legislation. For the first time in the his- tory of the Richmond Hill Horti- cultural Society, the Reverend J. W. Seibert of Elmira will visit the Autumn Show in the capacity of judge. Rev. J. S. Seibert To Judge Fall Show A man of clear cut words spiced'with subtle wit, Mr. Sei- bert is well known to most hor- ticulturists, especially those at- tending the annual conventions, where his speech is always in- tellingent. right to the point and exceedingly well delivered.

Little and the late Ed Little._ ‘ A great flowerr'tlover aand-~ e - pert gardener, Mr. Seibert hi3: judged many fall flower shows throughout the country, and this past year he was appointed to the committee responsible for the new book on horticultural judging standards, which all societies have adopted. It is with great anticipation that the local horticultural society awaits his visit, urging all mem- bers to enter as many exhibits as possible to make his trip worth- while.

The growing popularity of this event every second and fourth Wednesday night at the Lions Hall has resulted in such a large attendance that the membership must be limited to students of grades 7 and 8, Councillor' Mrs. James felt if the province was going to restrict the type of commerâ€" cial development permitted along Yonge Street. then, “any such policy should apply to everyone.” Mrs. James was critical of the department in allowing the erection of a large supermarket on Yonge Street at Lansing in North York. “Traffic congestion along' Yonge Street in Will- owdale should be just as im- portant as it apparently is in Markham Township", remark- H The group will follow the lead of Teen-Town in encouraging a party atmosphere 7- no jeans: _ The attenaance fee is 25c with a membership card and refresh- ments are free.

Mr. Burrows. operator of a piggery, appealed a $62 busineSs tax in the Ontario Supreme Court. at Osgoode Hall. In the ruling handed down, Mr. Burrows was classed as a farmer and therefore was entitled to business tax exemption. Maple Fire Brigade and Rich- mond Hill Fire Brigade were called out last Saturday evening to fight a fire which totally dec stroyed a vacant house on Bath- urst Street just above Elgin Mills Sideroad. Known as the old Angus place the house has not been occupied for several years. Origin of the fire is unknown. Chief J. Davidson. of the Vaug- ‘ han Police and Fire Department reported that numerous cars had to be tagged as motorists con- verged on the scene and parked their cars in a manner that could have impeded the approach of other fire fighting, or rescue equipment, had they been needed. Vacant House Destroyed by Fire Ask For Fence Town Ditches Are Death Traps Say Irate Ratepayers Richmond Hill Town Council decided in session Mon- day night to visit the Beverley Acres subdivision as a body this week to view again the distressing drainage problem and decide what is the best means of giving tem- porary relief and protection for children in the district. John McDiarmid who lives at the corner of South Tay- lor Mills and Neal Drive attended the meeting and told council that the situation is deteriorating. He said the hazard for children was increasing and that the removal of silt as recommended by engineers has not reduced flood- ing. He suggested the construction of a chain link fence around the ditch from Taylor Mills to Crosby, as a protec- tion for children. Council discussed the subject at some length. It has been the. matter of concern to council andi residents of the district for some I months and while the comple- tion of the proposed drainage scheme will provide the ultimate solution some temporary relief was very urgently requested. It “as. stated that it was unlikely the box drain project could bel finished before next June lst. Mr. McDiarmid and other ratepayers present emphasized the danger of the existing situ- ation. It was stated that a peti- tion for a fence is already large- ly signed, “Of 146 homes con- tacted we got 145 signatures,” said Mr. MacDiarmid. It was pointed out that a link wire fence such as erected around the waterworks tower would be required and that the cost of such a fence would be about $5,000. Councillor Haggart pressed hard for the erection of the fence. He argued that the money would not be wasted as the fence could be utilized in other places. He said one child had already been rescued when found face down in the ditch, and that the existing conditions cer- tainly constitute a safety hazard. Deputy-reeve Perkins agreed it would he terrible if any hap- pened. “We certainly don’t want any child to be drowned,” he saidl Mr. MacDiarmid said many children walk along the ditch in going to school. and others play in the water. “They think they‘re at the seaside,” he said. Girl Guide and Brownie lead- us of Richmond Hill District met Monday night at the home of! District Commissioner Mrs. Ern- est Redelmeier to lay plans for the 1957-58 season. As well as assigning places and personnel for companies and packs, cap- tains and lieutenants discussed plans for a Day Camp for Guides, to be held on a Saturday in Ocâ€"Y tuber at Don Head Farms, while Brown Owls and Tawnies ar-I ranged for Golden Hand Test. Days in November, March and May. Traininrf~ for new and e"-| perience Guiders will begin as soon as dates'and trainers are set. . i Organize Girl Guide & Brdwnée Activities For This Coming Year The district desperately needs new workers in both Brownie and Guide sections. Several packs have only one Guider or Owl apiece. ‘and two Guide compan- ies will be unable to begin ac- tivities this fall until leaders are found to work with them. Rich- mond Hill district appeals to all former Brownies, Guides, Guid- el‘s, or “just interested” women to train as Guiders to assist in the many packs and companies in town. Training and assistance toward the purchase of uniforms are provided by the Guide move- ment, the local association, and the active group committees lformed by the Guide and Brown- ‘ie mothers. Companies and packs are formed from girls attending school together and in most cases meet in‘their own school imme- (liately after classes close in the alternoon.

Mayor Neal said the whole trouble is that the particular area concerned is lower than the outlet for the present drainage system and that you just can’t make water run uphill. At pres- ent ditches are acting as reser- voirs for the water which can’t get away. Engineer Phillips suggested some alterations to culverts which might help the situation. On motion of Councillors Tinker and ‘Haggart the engineer was instructed to see about getting this work done at once and that the sub-divider be asked to bear the expense. 1 A motion by Councillor Hag- gart provided that the town write the subâ€"divider and ask him to raise the driveway of T. W. Bar- nett on Neal Drive so he can have access to his property. “I’ve had on knee rubber boots and got wet getting to the road," said Mr. Barnett. Councillor Tinker moved that council close Neal Drive between Taylor Mills and Crosby Ave. and that “no thoroughfare" signs be posted. He later supported a motion by Reeve W. J. Taylor which carried that council visit the area in a body and decide on what action to take to best meet tie needs of the present situa- tion. begin activities on the week of September 23.
