LATERAL CONNECTIONS Should be completed by June 6th, 1959 TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 12 PROPOSED ROAD GRADING SCHEDULE - HARDING PARK AND EAST ELMWOOD AREAS Road ditching could possibly start on Lennox and Harding Park by June 30th. Also all other streets in the Elmwood area could be started around same time subject to a plan of having all vacant lots serviced prior to paving in both areas. In general, all sewers and contract laterals should be completed by June 6th, 1959, and road operations could be commenced by June 30th and carried on sub- ject to street priorities as to consolidation so that all streets would be surfaced treated by October 31st. This would require all streets to be ditched, gravelled, and possibly two applications of dust layer by Sep- tember 15th to allow a suitable period of consolidation and time for reshaping any bad conditions prior to surface treatment. No surface treatment should be considered after October 31st, 1959, as ground surface is generally too cold to ensure a. proper bond.

Although it was raining light- ly before we met it soon stopped. The humidity and the walking soon made us hot and off came our jackets which we then put around our waists. As soon as we had gone far enough from town Charleen let her dog (who was an unofficial member of the hike) loose. and we also let loose with guide songs of all types. As the "polka-dot” house appeared at the top of the hill it began to sprinkle again, and as we walked on it came down hard- er and we had to take to our rain- coats. We crossed a farmer’s field and were approaching some trees when the rain came down in buc- kets, and despite the raincoats we all got wet. However, a breeze soon came up and by the time we reached Dufferin Street everyone was dry. At 9.30 am. six Guides from the 2nd Richmond Hill Company, Charleen Smith, Francine Watâ€" kins, Louis Schell. Lyn Metcalfe, Rosemary Mowat and I were ready to go. each laden with krapsacks and bags, whatever was available. After calling for the two youngâ€" er Guides I was taking. we met Charleen with her two young guides. Charleen and I were hop- ing to get our hlker’s badge and also pass the “half-day hike" for our First Class. By Janet Thomlon On Saturday, April 25th, a group of Girl Guides ventured on a hike beginning here in Rich- mond Hill and ending in Cramp- ton's woods. By one side of the road was a pond, where to our delight were two white ducks. Of course the dog started in after them and Charleen only managed to re- trieve him covered with mud, af- ter wading through soft sand. As a means of saving on prov- incial power costs the commis- sion authorized the calling of tenders for the start of a flat wa- ter heater control system. It is hoped to complete the first of three annual stages this year. The total cost of the project has been set at $58,000.00, with this year’s outlay amounting to $20,- 000.00. The introduction of such a control system will help save on the power charges by cutting down on the daily peak load. The Richmond Hill Hydro-Elec- tric Commission in session Thurs~ day of last week set their 1959 budget at $154,200.00. this is a $9,650.00 increase over the 1958 figure of $144,550.00. The bud- get will now be submitted to the town council for ratification. The sum of $120,000. will be deben- tured. Last year the town issued $65,000.00 in hydro debentures. The largest project in dollars and cents last year was the construc- tion of the Beverley Acres Sub- station at a cost of $43,895.00. The commission budgeted for an estimated 350 new customers in 1958 while the actual number turned out to be 700 or double the estimate. They will budget for 600 customers in 1959.

Then our tester, Angela Robinson, arrived and we showed her how to build three types of fires and on the last type we cooked our meal. Charleen and her two Guides had welners and beans, peaches. pop and toast. Lyn. Rosemary and I had spaghetti and meatballs. ap- plesauce, pop and toast. Angela had a lunch consisting of a bit of everything, and the dog man~ aged to get two meatballs while we yore. loolging the other way. After toasting some marshmal- lows, we washed the utensils in the stream and put out the tires with cans and pop bottles of water. After the sod had been put back, Angela inspected our first aid kits which we were re- quired to bring. and then she sat on a rock while Charleen and I proceeded to try to crawl through the bush without alerting her. This was part of the "stalkers" badge. We all put on our knapsacks after a rest and started the four mile hike home. The breeze had turned into a cooling wind and it seemed no time until We were crossing the farmer’s field. When we came to a swamp we parted as the other group had rubbers and went through it, while we went around. We met at the Polka-Dot house, and soon after that a bunch of tired and bearing- gled girls arrived home. As a means of strengthening its campetitive position the commis- sion on recommendation of the province will begin a water heat- er rental system this year at an estimated cost of $37,500.00. The local utility will now in addition to maintaining flat water heaters free of charge, also have them available on a rental bsia. The commission is also con- sidering the purchase of land in Richmond Hill for the future er- ection of a service building and a garage. They expect to shortly make an inspection of service buildings in surrounding centres. The commission will continue its rebuilding program started in 1958 on several streets in the central part of town. The total value of the plant as of December 3lst was set at $787,252.44, while the debenture debt stood at $455,443.80. Messrs. Don Ireland and Jack Shand of Ontario Hydro attended the bud- get session. There are 1.500 flat water heat- ers in Richmond Hill. The 1959 members of the com- mission are Chairman Sam Cook, Commissioner William Wagner and Mayor Ken Tomlin. By Richmond Hill Naturalists Naturalists are always obser- vant but. during the spring mi- gration, every moment which can be spared is used. On Saturday, May 2, it was hard to remember that such an ordinary thing as work needed to be done. A ‘wave’ of warblers had arrived the pre- vious night. Fifty-one species. under the capable leadership of Mr. Lyn Jackman, were identi- fied. Birds were flitting every- where of which there seemed to be dozens of Nashville, black and white and myrtle warblers and ruby-crowned kinglets. Other first arrivals were: northern wat- er-thrush, Maryland yellow-throat palm, yellow and black-throated green warblers, blue-headed vir- eo, olive-backed thrush, chimney swift, rough winged, tree and bank swallows, spotted sandpipâ€" er. Also, numerous ones that have been with us for some time. Other observers, within our prescribed 15 mile radius, re- ported: bittern, loons, blue-wing- ed teal, field sparrow, brown thrasher. bobh‘nk, jenny wren, red-headed woodpecker, rusty blackbtrds and more than one re- port of flocks 'nf Canada geese flying north. 0n the 5th. the crested flycatcher and the black- burnian warbler arrived. The recent rains have made such a difference to the growth of the wild flowers. The hepatch The world of sound was explor- ed by members of the Civitan Club of Richmond Hill, at a din- ner meeting Tuesday evening, when J. E. Millyard, of the Bell Telephone Company, spoke on “Sounds of our Times.” Mr. Mill- yard illustrated his address from a gallery of unusual recordings. The meeting was held at the Yangtze Pagoda Restaurant, on Yonge Street. The underwater “conversa- tions” of a school of porpoises, the beat of a human heart (male), as a pretty girl walks by, the scrape of a safety razor over a man’s face, the roar of a jet tak- ing off -â€" were all reproduced stereophonically on special tape recordings. Mr. Millyard pointed out that a continuous program of sound research at Bell Tele- phone laboratories results in con» tinuous improvements in the tele- phone service. Bell scientists were among the pioneers of ster- eogihonic sound reproduction, he sa1 . Smile In Voice Can Travel Far Bell Speaker Tells Civitan Club Nature Notes Reeve W. L. Clark of Mark-. ham Township announced Mon- day that Metro Planning Director Murary Jones will meet with council next Monday afternoon regarding the drainage and plan- ning for the southâ€"west corner of the township. The important south-west corner has lain dor- mant for the gast five years. Re- cent efforts y Reeve Clark to secure Metro Planning Board per- mission to allow development of four residential subdivisions in the area was turned down by a narrow vote. The whole area will be subject to review by the Municipal Board this summer. Reeve Clark suggested the sur- vey in Markham. Vaughan and the northern part of Metro be done by the same engineering firm rather than by three differ- ent firms. Dumping Council expressed concern with the usual rash of spring dumping on township road allowances. Un- scrupulous individuals who use the roads for dumping garbage and old household items came in for strong criticism from coun- cil. "We’ve been Loo lenient in the past," stated Reeve Clark. “We just made them clean up the mess, but from now on I suggest we take legal action against those responsible,” remarked Reeve Clark. Roads Committee Chair- man reported that two truckloads of rubbish has been removed from the mile and a quarter be- tween the fourth and fifth con- cessions. Council instructed Coun- 'cillor Mumberson to have the road department put on an im- mediate drive to clean up the road allowances before the grass gets too high. . If necessary, Mr. Mumvberson was granted permis- sion to hire extra road staff. Dep- uty-reeve W. Dean suggested the police he warned to vatch out for dumping in an effort to appre- hend those responsible. Once the roads are cleaned up the road department will erect "No Dump- ing" signsflin yarious locations.

The blood-root is in full bloom, the leaves are slowly uncurling from around the stem and soon will look like wide-spread um- brellas. The dainty spring beauty, the trout lily or dog-toothed vi- olet and the white trilliums are beginning to do their share in making the woods a spring par- adise. Even if you aren’t able to visit the woods, take a second look, as you walk along the street or go for a drive, at the tamarac and birch trees. They are both beginning to show the faintest green haze and soon will develop into an even more fairy-like dain- tiness which is a prelude to their fullisummer green.

The rest of the time it's travelling as electrical energy which goes at the speed of light â€"â€" 186,000 miles per second.” A Demonstrating various sounds robbed of their overtones, Mr. Millyard commented, “Reproduc- ing these overtones accurately is an important part of the teleâ€" phone business today. Everyone’s voice is different. and it“s the overtones that make it so. They are what give your voice person- ality. So if you put a smile in your voice, we'll guarantee the smile will still be there when we deliver it at the other end." “LIBERAL” CLASSIFIEDS GET RESULTS PHONE TU. 4-1105 .ion of the Metro Works Depart- ment to sell their two wells lo- cated at German Mills by public tender.

Mrs. T. Hutchlson gave a word of welcome followed by prayers by Mrs. M. Fry and the introduc- tlon of Miss Lea by Mrs. A. qughrlfige. Hear Talk On South-East Asia Miss Lee, a social worker all her life, based her address, “Through Asian Windows," on her recent trip abroad where she attended an international confer- ence on social work in Tokyo be- fore going on an extensive study tour of South East Asia. Since this international confer- ence is made up of two represen- tatives from every nation. Miss Lea emphasized the amazing in- terest and co-operation shown by all people for the welfare of their brothers. regardleSS of p01- -itical differences. She asked that we look through the eyes of a social worker into the different aspects of the problems presented by these countries. In Hong Kong, the British col- ony, in spite of miracle planning, they cannot absorb all the masSes of people who have flowed back in. Here whole networks of wel- fare and health agencienre doing emergency work. In Japan itself there is a vac- uum in the lives of the young people today. left by the loss of old traditions and culture after a war and occupation by a foreign country. These people are search- ing for a religion to fill this va- cuum. In Manila although there are nine universities, rehabilitation h i been held back since the war but in Thailand there is good lea- dership in their rapidly developâ€" ing services. Burma and India Miss Lea de- scribed as the most depressing. Here, they are ill-equipped and undernourished and must concern themselves mainly with food and health, although there are a num- ber of young people being train- ed in different schools of social service. Miss Lea’s one last picture was one in which she tried to give us a picture of the tremendous sense of . Vunlty felt in the ~Angllcan Church all over the world.
