.To save his life N Don't fail to cast your vote! RICHMOND HILL LEGAL CONTROL COMMITTEE A boy's life hung in the balanceâ€"four-year-old Ron Tisdale of Montreal. Ron had swallowed a quantity of sleeping pills. Now he was in dogma. His breathing had stopped. At St. Iustine's Hospital. Ben was put into a resuscitator. His stomach was pumped out. He was given every anti- poison available. Still alive. he remained in a deep coma. It was feared that at any moment his life might flicker out. At the Hospital, the doctor remembered reading about a powerful new anti-poisonâ€"Megimide. But where could it be obtained? Sister Catherine of St. Justine’s, after trying sev. eral local calls, finally telephoned the Poison Control Centre of New York City. Did they have any? Yes-one half ounceI recently received from Britain. At that very moment, an Eastern Air Lines plane was ready for its 11:45 takeoff for Montreal from New York. Another phone call, and considerate airline officials agreed to hold it; its passengers voted unanimously to wait. A car raced to the field. and a Health Department worker handed the precious vial to the stewardess. In a short while, a wait- ing car rushed the Megimide to St. Justine's and little Ron Tisdale was soon out of danger. The world-renmmed New York Times chose to tell in detail on its editorial pages this dramatic story. For what a story of human helpfulness this isâ€"of people using tele- phones, airplanes and automobiles-placing before all else their determination to help save that most precious thing . . . a human life. ‘ We also like to think that this incident demonstrates how people turn to their telephone in times of urgent need. Fast and dependable, it stands ready to serve you tooâ€"at any hour of‘the day or night. . ‘/-\r, TOWNSHIP OF VAUGHAN Notice To Owners and Occupants of Land In accordance with the provisions of Section 12 of the Weed Control Act, notice is hereby given to all owners and occupants of subdivided lands in the Township of Vaughan that unless the nox- ious weeds on any such lands are cut down and destroyed by Tuesday, July 1st, 1958, the Township weed inspector has been authorized to enter upon such lands and have the weeds destroyed in such a manner as he may deem proper, charging the cost against the owners concerned, in the same manner as taxes.
