A Salute To Canada On Her 91$! Birthday, July 15! In a few days Canada will observe another birthday - her ninety-first. Although ninety-one is compara- tively young as nations go, in this age when many countries have lost their id- entities it is quite a feat. In Canada’s case lustre is added to the accomplish- ment by the fact that during these nine- ty-one years she has progressed from a backwoods country to a burgeoning in- dustrial land and world power, whose name has become a byword. Unlike their American neighbors, Canadians have been too prone to mark their country’s birthday as just another holiday. Its real significance is being Once again our national holiday is upon us.

DeMille’s Production “The Ten Commandments," acclaimed by°the nation’s press, advance audiences and ministers of all faiths as an overwhelm- ing motion picture experience and the all-time pinnacle of movie-making, will begin its local engagement June 27th, at the Richmond Theatre. Ten years in the planning, three years in research, three years in the writing and more than a year in the ac- tual shooting, the masterwork of the screen’s master showman is by far the biggest production in film history. Util- izing the talents of a massive cast of top stars and the best technicians the industry has to offer, the Paramount picture backgrounds an eternally dra- matic and meaningful story with spec- tacle that has been called colossal in its scope. The dramatization of the Book of Exodus stars Charlton Heston as Moses, Yul Brynner as his implacable enemy, Rameses II, Anne Baxter, Edward G. Robinson, Yvonne De Carlo, Debra Pag- et and John Derek.

An individual who survives the rigors of this world for ninety-one years is generally the recipient of gifts and good wishes or is feted in some way. Canada is ninety-one years young. Let us give her a fitting birthday party. In more recent years we have exper- ienced considerable unemployment but our economy was geared to take care of this condition in the form of unemploy- ment insurance, and the federal gov- ernment has promised a. huge develop- ment program to take up the slack. There has been a mild recession in some lines of business but, as Mr. Harry L. Guy, president of The Mutual Life As- surance Company of Canada said in an address at the annual meeting of The Dominion Mortgage and Investment Association recently, there is no con- cern over this situation. Fundamental changes are taking place in our econ- omic system. 0 ,“4 v While our economic system func- tions unevenly at times and with cer- tain deviations from what might be termed sound policy, Canada remains one of the greatest of all producing countries and we still enjoy the highest standard of living, second only to the United States. Despite the continuing threat of war we have reason to believe the re- sult would be so awful that no nation will ever cause its start But even if war did come, Canada is well prepared to play its part. We have reason to celebrate our birthday. We can take our place with the other nations of the world and stand solidly on our own feet. Wf‘ can face the future with confidence and'optimism based on the reality of our natural wealth. Let the spirit of our national cons- ciousness breathe Liberty, Equality and Fraternity, and we shall have the ce- ment to build our nation, united free and strong, and we shall complete the noble edifice that we have planned, that we 'afidmddr children méy occupy it with pride “Canada, our Home, our Native Land.” wicke, Nina Foch, Martha Scott, Judith Anderson and Vincent Price, with even the “supporting” roles played by a long list of stars.

On a cloudless night in shimmering white You may see her on the grass And behind her trails like long green snails The hose she’s dragging along. Up from her bed at the stroke of one, the Wal move along, For the parched lawns' sake, grassy roots to slake Her work must be done ere dawn. The dry earth cakes, the brown grass bakes, But the by-law’s very firm: ‘ You can water your sod when other folks nod, Not by the light of day. The wells are deep (she moans from sleep) It’s again to do, the clock strikes two, Nell drags her hose along. The wells are few and storage too new So a law was passed for all: “You can water the flowers if there are no showers, But you may not water the lawn.” The council sat and thought begat As faucets dried and seedlings cried “We must dig another well", _‘ “We must have, say $6,000.00 a year as assured income before embarking on a building cam- paign, as we must be able to assure the Boys’ Club of Canada that our annual operating budget is assured". President D. C. Smith stated when presenting his chairman's report at the first an- nual board dinner meeting of the Richmond Hill Boys’ Club, Tues- day evening, at the Richmond Theatre Grill. The mayor sighed as 1118 pen he plied, “We are ten thousand now. We must all beware, we must all take care, For there’s not enough to do. “Water at night when the stars dance bright, Twice each week for the grass you seek, For the lawns to have their fill. You must all be meek for the water you seek And all must heed our law! Forty dollars and-ten is the fine you ken If you water without discretion.” The beans can sprout and flowerscome out, But lawns must sigh as they wither and dry Until the well is dug. Delphiniums are high and larkspur spry Sprinkled with council sanction; Potatoes sprout and beans pop out, You can hose them with discretion. But only at night whether dark or bright When you’d like to nap, may you turn your tap May the thirst ,of your lawn be slaked! And as no rain fell, now comes ghostly Nell ()n the hours of two and three, The taps are turned for the ground so burned ‘And the spray flies sweet as rain. There are tales they tell of ghostly Nell Who on summer’s night in shimmering white “In order to conduct a building campaign", the chairman contin- ued, “the experience of other clubs tells us that we must obtain 75% of the total required from special names. and have this in hand in the form of pledges be- fore starting a public campaign. The remaining 25% would then come from an all out public drive.” The Richmond Hill Boys’ Club got under way last October in the Lillian McConaghy School and is affiliated with 65 other boys clubs across Canada. This programme was started along the lines re- commended by the Boys' Clubs of Canada to promote the health, social, educational, vocational, and character devolopment of boys. In this programme the boy is allowed a free choice for his participation. This is where the programme differs from other clubs and is the part which really appeals to boys. .1, r Progress of the club has been} handicapped due to lack of ac-‘ commodation, and this winter the local public school board notified the club that they would lose the use of the craft room as it was being converted to an urgently needed classroom. The club fin- ished the spring in the school auditorium and basement corri- dor. This eliminated craft work, stamp collecting and games for smaller groups. Thus, they were unable to carry out a full and proper programme to fulfil the Ipurpose o_f the club. Walks the dry crisp lawns. To partly compensate for this curtailed programme â€"- through the kindness of the local Rotary Clubâ€"some of the boys will have a two-week summer camp on Lake Erie, at the Y.M.C.A. spon- sored and operated camp. Regarding accommodation, the board of directors has surveyed a possible accommodation. and this survey will have to continue if the club is to remain active in the forthcoming season. “The board has unanimously agreed that there is only one overall solution. We must build our own club quarters which can be identified as a club for boys and its use by other groups, in- cluding girls, shall not substan- tially limit the use of rooms, fac- ilities and equipment by the boy members." In his public relations and pub-‘ licity chairman’s report. First Vice-President Cecil R. Williams stated that “The board of Direc- tors is the external outlet for public relations. the president being the key exponent. The fact that the members of the board are well known to community through their professional and service club afiillations, has re- sulted in pr mpt recognition of- the Boys Clubâ€"and certainly good public relations. Internally. the boys have been well behaved and have, therefore, not been subject to unfavorable criticism. This in itself is good public re- lations." Referring to publicity. the chairman thanked the press 'uer JJz/[i Over for their valuable assistance dur- ing the year, Winmfirééen'ting his first annual report, the Secretary-Treasurer Eric L. Brewer drew attention to the fact that although the Boys Club commenced operations on October '2nd last year, a board of directors was formed on June 26th to conduct the business of the club. the members of this board consisting of representa- tives from the local service clubs and other interested organizations and individuals. During the past nine months, some 15 board meetings have been held and quite an amount of business has been dealt with. Turning to the financial side of the club’s operation, the chair- man said “We have received sup- port from the recreation commit- tee, who under their Chairman, Mr. Ed Butlin, are responsible for the creation of this club, and from the Lions, Rotary, and Kins- men. A drive earlier this year directed at selected names in the locality for additional funds for the club's proposed sports activities, resulted- in» a disappointingly poor rgsponse..’"_ During the informal general discussion that folloWed, many' points of interest and value rela-' tive to the operation of‘the club were brought up. by Mr. _ Bob Shaw, Assistant-Regional Direc- tor of the Boys’ Club of Ca'nhdai,‘ Club Director John Turner,-Lea-‘ der Pat Patterson, Junior Leader George Styan, Recreational Com- missioner Ed Butlin, Rotarion ‘Roy Chandler, Rev J.

The Benediction given by Rev. J. F. O'Neil was one of praise. thankfulness, and encouragement for the future. In thanking those present. President D. C. Smith gave a final word of praise to the members of the board. the club director, and the junior leaders who have tackled their jobs with courage and ,enthusiasm, adding. “It has been a genuine pleasure to work with these dedicated men." 12 Year Old Girl From Oak Ridges Saves Man's Life Sheridon Clarke. 12, of Oak Ridges, was credited by police with saving John Rutter, 27, of Grange Ave., Toronto. by instruc- ting his two friends in artificial respiration after he suffered a heart attack while swimming in Lake Wilcox Sunday.

The roller race was provided to show the audience how the riders prac- tice when it is impossible for them to do their practicing on the road. Mr. Witaker has been a racing cyclist for ten years and he felt that this would be a good way to raise some money for the team. He competed in world championships in 1952 in Lux- embourg, Germany, and Paris, France. Among the guests of honour was Mr. Eric Fellows, the man- ager and coach of this year's bi- cycle team.
