He states, “In your energetic Canadian society, there is always the pause for breath. the readjust- ment. the need for reappraisal. We are in that time at presentâ€" an era of transitionâ€"but one that need not lead to doubt. If the academicians choose to call this a recession then it is the most gold-plated recession you can have without calling it prosper- Richmond Hill Town Council Monday night declared war on traffic offenders. A letter from the Home and School Association complaining about dangerous driving in the Beverley Acres area and several complaints by coun- cil members inspired a considerable discussion of local traffic conditions. Council decided to purchase a second police cruiser and also radar equipment to check speeding. Additional stop signs will be procured and erected at once. Moreover Mayor Ken. W. Tomlin and members of council made it very clear they wanted the new equipment used to effect- ively check speeding and make town streets safer for motorists and pedestrians. Mayor Tomlin said that in ad- dition to the complaint received about speeding in Beverley Acres he had received complaints from many other parts of tpwn. Councillor Bradstock suggest- ed purchase of Radar equipment to check speeding. In making a motion to purchase such equip- ment at an estimated cost of $1,275., Councillor Paterson em~ phaslzed the importance of keepâ€" ing our streets safe for child- ren. "We have a good record in this regard. so let's try and main- tain it," he said. Speaking of ' so-called “hard times." Groucho Marx is credited with stating. “It isn't so much that hard times are coming as that 59ft times are going.’ Council members gave unan- imous support to the motion and in declaring it carried Mayor Tomlin called for active police action to control local traffic. This is the slogan Windsor automen employed to launch one of the biggest drives in Canadian history _ to offset the cloudy business pictureâ€"and to relieve falling production and unemploy- ment. Town Buys Radar To Check Speed In Safety Drive “Remember,” he said. “this new radar equipment will be of no benefit if it is not used”. and addressing himself to Chief Rob- bins who was present he said. “One of the prime~duties of the police force is traffic control.” He added, “We want speed checks on all streets. a regular program of enforcement and reg- gular reports to the police com- mittee or council of all activities and results." This is the slogan with which Canadian auto dealers recently launched their “Buy Now” drive. Local automobile dealers (left to right) Bob Birrell of Birrell Motors Ltd., Don Little of R. D. Little &. Son Ltd., and Cecil Gunn of Rich-Hill Motors Ltd. dis~ cuss plans for the forthcoming “You Auto Buy Now” Councillor S. F.

Cuncillor Haggart pressed for “It is on the basisof these facts I’m sure,,” Mr. Dakins af- firmed, “that our own C.

Sneddon Road Indeed, there are a number of positive and favorable factors ex- isting right now to prove that the 5.317.000 Canadians gainfully employed will continue to spend because they will resist every effort to cut their standard of living. Retail sales generally are more than holding their own this year and are up 3 percent in the first quarter of this year as compared with the same peri~ od in 1957. Deputy-reeve Plaxton urged action to secure the opening of Sneddon Road from Markham Road to Elgin sideroad. This street through the industrial sec- tion of the town is deemed very essential to the desired indus- trial development of the area. Ar‘ rangements are complete for op- ening the road north from Cen- tre Street. and Deputy-reeve Plaxton moved that steps be tak- en to obtain the right of way south to Markham Road. His mo- tion seconded by councillor Brad- stock instructed the clerk to ity.” write the H. J.

Why? Because statistics prove that the buyer’s market is the normal market in Canada. The fact is, one out of every four workers in Canada depends largely or wholly upon the motor vehicle, and the motor vehicle industry, for the means to earn their living. Citizens of Richmond Hill on June let will vote on the estab- lishment here of a liquor and a beer store. Last week Lakefield, a town of 2,000 pepulation in the heart of the Kawartha Lakes area voted on similar questions and gave a majority in favor of the propos- al. " In a near record turnout at the polls, the liquor store received 578 affirmative votes with 312 in the negative: 571 voted in favour of the Brewers' Retail, with 316 against. Since April of last year, nine Ontario communities have voted on the L.C.B.O. and Brewers‘ Re- tail Store questions. The wets were successful in eight of these including Midland and Newmark- et which had been in the dry column for almost 50 years. In a previous plebiscite in 1950 the affirmative vote was less than 50 per cent in favour of the same qugstions. Despite the heavy traflic over the long weekend Richmond Hill had two minor accidents report local police. Out of 52 calls re- ceived only four major thefts and one minor theft were report- ed.

Five tenders were received and that of Birrell' Motors Ltd. was accepted at a price of $2303.31 after allowance for the trade-in. The Mayor’s deciding vote was needed to carry the motion of Councillors Haggart and Brad- stock for purchase of the new car. Deputyâ€"reeve Donald L. Plaxton and Councillor Tinker favored buying a good used car as an economy measure. Auto Buy Now! Second Car For Poice A two car collision occurred at the Elgin Mills sideroad and Highway No. 11 last Sunday af- ternoon when a car driven by Frederick Rance of Elgin Mills, waited in the middle lane of the three«lane highway to make a turn off Yonge Street. Jack La~ page of Toronto, driver of the car proceeding in the opposite direction, was unable to turn out. of the passing lane owing to the heavy holiday traffic and his car crashed head-on into the Rance vehicle. In casting the deciding vote, Mayor Tomlin said he had re- ceived many complaints about traffic conditions in town and it is necessary to step up efficienâ€" cy. “If’we expect the police to do a good job we must provide them with the facilities,” he said. Mrs. Mary Rance. sitting in the “suicide-seat" of her hus- band‘s car, received facial and knee injuries. Mr. Rance and their two young children were uninjured. Jack Lapage was treated for a separated shoulder and his pas- senger. John Rike, had scalp lacerations.

Councillor Haggart said the towu hoped for extensive indust- rial development in the next few years and he thought there should be a smoke control by law. The petition signed by a number of residents on Crosby and Bedford Park Avenues com- plained about the‘ soot and smoke from the greenhouses and asked that a smoke control by law be passed. It was claimed the smoke stained brick, dirtied washings and motor cars. Councillor Bradstock suggested the greenhouse operators call in some expert advice on reducing the smoke nuisance. Councillor Paterson pointed out changes in equipment might mean very con- siderable expenditure. It was agfeed that the Mayor discuss the complaint with the greenhouse operators.
