MAN WANTED W. R. DEAN 4211 At 5 o’clock Thursday, 6-year- old Shielah Ratchford, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Ratch- ford, Brookside Road, was mind- ing her year old baby sister, whom the family lovingly call “the Prin- cess." r _. . . . L; Lcao. Earlier that day Shielah had attended Jeffgrson School, a- long with her five older brothers and sisters (there are 10 children “Child missing” . . . this was the cry along Brook- side Road, Elgin Mills from 5:30 to 11:30 o’clock last Thursday night, when more than fifty volunteers assisted Vaughan, Markham and Richmond Hill police in organiz- ing the biggest manhunt ever put forth in this area, to search for a tiny little- girl reported as lost. After a six- hour search, the little child was found, safe and well. 0f Man's Humanity â€"To A Little Child Thornhill 'AV. 5-1344 Now the moral of this little story is not to point out that the child was never really lost. It is. instead to show what man’s hum- anity to man really means. It is written to let others know how quickly complete strangers can join together as one in the pur- pose of civil defense. It is writ- ten, because we were one of the watchers, as that party of men carried their bright little torches into the darkness to find a little girl whom they had never even met, but who was missing from her own family circle. ' An officer opened the door to a deep walk-in cupboard -- poked around in the very back corners, and cried, “Here she is. She’s fast asleep.” WOODBRIDGE â€"- Commencing this year the assessor for Wood- bridge has been advised to use the actual assessment on each property. Previously the taxation method was based on 50 per cent of the actual assessment because of the effect it had on various government grants. As outdoor floodlights blazed up and ddwn Brookside Road and Naughton Drive, the searchers formed a beating-parting and pro- ceeded fifty-strong to cross the "mile and a quarter of fields from Yonge St. to Bathurst St., flashing their lights on every bush and clump of grass. Searchlights from police cars swung across the fields from the roads and the search party slowly but carefully looked for a little girls who was said to have left her home clad only in .a light sweater and a pair of slacks. As the northern party drew a- breast of the Ratchford home, half a mile in from Yonge St.. three police officers broke away from the group and went in the house to search it for the fourth time. At 10 o‘clock Richmond Hill and Markham police joined the search party and called for more volunteers. Men were asked to take part as they left the theatre in Richmond Hill; motorists who stopped to see what was going on stayed as volunteers. Harry Hill of‘ Canadian Tire in Richmond Hill arrived at the scene of the search with two dozen flashlights, which were quickly handed out._ At 5.30 her mother missed her from the house and sent her old- est brother, Michael aged 12 to look for her. Mrs. Ratchford be- lieved Sheilah had walked‘half a mile to Yonge St. to meet her Daddy at the bus stop. Michael and another boy who lived on the same road began searching; then Mr. Ratchford joined the search on his return home from work. By 8 o’clock, most of the men on Brookside and Naughton Drive to the south were joining in the search when the Vaughan Police were called in. The house itself was searched, three times, and every ditch, shed, garage and back garden in the area was in- vestigated. in the famil ), and-after school they had a received a gift of a pumpkin each, for Hallowe'en. Sheilah was so excited she de- clared to her mother she wanted to be the first to tell Daddy the good news.

Drop In and See Inn-Inn“ SKA" uni Vaughan Township police re- ported ‘hooliganism with “the us- ual Hallowe'en nonsense" prior to midnight last Saturday â€" but at approximately 1 am. Sunday, Vandalism in all its nastiest as- pects took over and the one-room Patterson Public School on the first Concession , of Vaughan Township was entered. Vandals broke 40 windows; lifted desks from the. floor and threw them out the windows; tore a door from its hinges; damaged child- rens' books, and generally messed things up so badly attendance at the school was cancelled for Mon- day. One ‘ratepayer whom The L1â€" beral contacted, and who has two children attended the school said. “If the parents of those concerned had to .pay for the damage involved, they would real- ize, through their pocket-books, just how stupidly they have act- ed." Mr. ErnestyRedelmeier, Chair- man of the Patterson Public School Board told The Liberal, “It took two men the better part of a day to clean up the broken glass alone, it was an awful mess." Damage is estimated at approximately $150. Deputy-chief E. Bone of the Vaughan Townâ€" ship Police is investigating. \ Mr. Nicol, the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Nicol, was born on September 9th, 1892, at Newtonbrook, When he was only a few months old his family mov- ed to the farm on the Elgin Mills sideroad and he lived in the dis- trict .ever since. For some years Mr. Nicol worked at Endean Nur- series. In recent years he has run his own woodworking business, many homes in the district attest- ing to his skill. He is survived by his widow the former Alice Harding, two sons, William and James, a daugh- ter Elsie, (Mrs. Stanley Burns) and his sister, Mrs. R. Hill. Ratepayers in the area of Pat- terson School are asking, “Why,” and they are also wondering why more parental jurisdiction was' not enforced so that young people would not be roaming around getting into trouble at such an hour of the night. Hallowe'en Over Vandals Wreck Patterson School The Junior Choir under the direction of Mr. James Westlake is practicing songs of Stephen Foster. This is an extra curriculâ€" ar effort on the part of Mr. West- lake and some volunteer pupils of Grades 4 to 6. Contemporary composers are represented by a few of the bright sparkling mel- odies of Rogers and Hammerstein. Attention will soon be given to sacred and secular Christmas music. The annual public speaking contest for senior pupils of Hen- derson took place at 11:30 a.m. November 2nd in the school au- ditorium. The judges were Rev. P. Buck. Dr. E. Meuser, and Mrs. Clare. Pupils who participated were; Paul Russell, Veronica Ai- more, Rosslyn Ritchie, Suzanne Morse, Anne Russell, Teddy An- drae, Jamie Dillane and Carolyn Winter. The speeches were all on Education and proved to be of an excellent calibre. Rev. Buck declared the winners, respective- ly â€" Suzanne Morse, Carolyn Winter, and Veronica Aimone. On Thursday evening at the Charles Howitt School, Suzanne will-com- pete against winners in the other Ar~a Schools. The best wishes of the staff 'and pupils will 'go with her. The community was saddened tc hear of the death of Mr. Au- Vbrey Munroe Sutherland Nicol who died of a heart attack last Thursday morning at his home on the Elgin Mills sideroad directly across the street from the fam- ily homestead. He was 67 years of age and had been suffering from heart trouble for the past three and a half years. He was found in his workshop by his son Jim who, when raking leaves heard the ma- chinery running in his father’s workshop but could not hear any wood being cut and went to in- vestigate. The funeral was held on Satur- day afternoon, October 3lst from the Wright and Taylor Funeral Home with the, Rev. J. M. Hep- burn conducting the service. The pallbearers were Mr. W. Hutchi- son, Mr. Clarence Jones, Mr. Frank Evison, Mr. E. Harding, Mr. J. Bacon and Mr. Fred Lep- pard. ' Bereavement The volleyball house league for the girls is well underway. The boys have formed teams for touch rugby and excitement runs high. School crests will be given to the winning teams. Captains of the girls' volleyball teams are Trudy Johnson, Pat Wren and Jo-Anne Bragan. ‘ Sincere sympathy is extended to Mrs. H.

School News DONCASTER “THE LIBERAL” FOR CHRISTMAS $3.50 PER YEAR @hituatp Correspondent: David Barbour Henderson Ave. Phone AV. 5-5205 AUBREY NICOL He did not think Council need anticipate any difficulty over the small abandoned cemeteries since they are almost all private fam- ily cemeteries, and their report- ed neglect‘signifies the families have either petered out or are no longer living in this part of the country. Should a claimant arise, regarding these small areas the township could then charge for the renovating and mainten- ance put into restoring them, if any claimant wanted to repossess them. / In one case alone there have been no records kept for the past 50 years and no one, not even the present owners of the land in question seem to have any in- terest in what was once a pioneer burial ground in Markham Town- ship, close to Yonge Street. Mr. McAlister said the United Church has decided they are quite willing to assume responsi- bility of any property under their jurisdiction. “I would like Mr. Ron Herd, (the municipal dog catcher) to appear before council himself when he makes his next report,” Councillor J. MacNeil said as Council reviewed the full report on the dog situation from the time Mr. Herd took over as Muni- cipal dog catcher, May 19, until October list of this year. He also advised Council to in- vestigate (1) the possibility of fu- ture cemetery land in the town- ship, “It is expected one of Met- ro’s cemeteries will be just about bought up by'19'75. He also in- dicated it is also possible to make use of some of these ab- andoned cemeteries for burial grounds, if they are restored to orderliness and on a question of Deputy-reeve Dean’s, regarding how the township could take them under its control Mr. Mc- Alister said any cemetery having more than one acre of land would have to ,be expropriated by the township. In conclusion Mr. McAlister ad- vised that the township should set up a cemetery committee and draw up a working budget and set up a cemetery fund which could be contributed to by fam- ilies connected with these ceme- teries. He said it would take at least a year or two to get things into'working order, and that the committee should begin its work with only one or two cemeteries. DOG REPORT Mr. Herd’s report showed that out of a total of 499 dogs im- pounded up to the let of October, 135 dogs were from Markham Township. Of this number 70 dogs were claimed and 65 dogs de- Mr. McAlister said it was the duty of the municipality to as- sume responsibility for abandon- ed cemeteries. Su'bh parcels of land should be fenced, the grass kept cut and a cairn raised by using the old headstones and markers, which are. now scattered and broken in nearly all of the cemeteries in question. PICKERING â€" With the popula- tion up 775 from October 1958 to October 1959, the Township of Pickering has increased its assess- ment over $1 million. Part of it was due to the installation of a permanent water system. “You can do this work through a council committee, or, what is considered a better plan, through a committee of interested citiz- ens," he said. Mr. McAlister pointed out that if the commit- tee was comprised of council members it might not be perma- nent and continue from year to year. He also advised committee members be appointed in rota- tion, for a certain period of years, so that there would always be a number of persons on the com- mittee who had experience. Councillor S. B. Watson said, “We should go over to the Im- pounding Kennel after one of our council meetings, and see how the pound is operated.” Councillor Mumberson, “The dog situation is in better hands then ever before in my time on council." Reeve W. Clark “It’s being handled humanely and that's one of the main good things about it.” Councillor McNeil remarked that the kennels were kept sput- less and that everything is very well run in connection with the impounding kennels. ‘ A... “We have been anticipating this visit for some time”, Reeve W. Clark remarked as Mr. J. R. McAlister, Inspector of Cemeteries for the Province of Ontario visited Mark- ham Township Council at its regular weekly session last Monday afternoon. Reeve Clark explained that council could not do much about the ‘fabandoned cemeteries” prob- lem confronting the township until next year, but stated. , 7 . , ___ v..- vvvaluAlAy uuuAn snunv Jc‘u.’ uuu DI/GLCLU awe Wéhâ€"lgluliléz to lay plans, with your assistance and guidance, Mr. McAlister”. Deputy-reeve Wilfred Dean, Chairman of the Cemetery Board set up to deal with abandoned or neglected cemet- eries in the township, reviewed the program already car- ried out, stating that a tour around the township was made by the committee when it was determined there were a number of small cemeteries that were not in too good shape. “We would like to hear £rom you What you think could be done about this situation”. Briefs Council On Cemetery Policy Charles C. Graham Dies Suddenly This community was shock- ed to hear of the sudden pas- sing of Charles Cecil (Char- ley) Graham of Church St. North, Richmond Hill early yesterday morning, November 4, 1959. Mr. Graham had arisen early to go hunting with Mr. A. A. Eden and apparently was preparing his breakfast when \he suffered a fatal heart attack. Mrs. Graham found him on the kitchen floor when she came down the stairs at 8 o'clock. Sincere sympathy is ex- tended to Mrs. Graham and family in their sudden loss. Markham Council stroyed. 13,000 miles of patrol work has been carried out in the three municipalities in the past four and a half months. Emergency Telephone Lines Reeve .Clark asked Clerk Harry Crisp to have an agreement re- garding emergency telephone lines drawn up for next week‘s meeting of council after Mr. Crisp had reported that “Two Consecutive Avenue li‘nes: One Unionville line and the possibility of one line from Markham ex- change would cost approximately $150 monthly.” A fifth line, from Gormley and Stouft‘ville, contin- gent upon the Bethesda and Stouffville Telephone Company being able to lease cable space from the Bell from “our border to your office" is also proposed to take care of Police and Fire Em- ergency calls only. There will be a push button/telephone system on the police despatcher's desk for emergency lines only. 88 Baker Ave., Richmond Hill SALES - SERVICE - RENTALS 'Your local typewriter specialist’ Typewriters .
