Before making off with cigarâ€" ettes and powdered coffee val- ued around $250. they paused for a backroom snack of soft drinks and potato chips. Constable Rob- ert Hart of Vandorf 0.P.P. in- vestigated. Protests BB’s Mrs. Harold Millard of King City is advocating restrictions on the sale and use of air rifles. “Perhaps mothers don't realize battle play with BB guns is going on in King City,’ she said. “I wouldnt have believed it myself if I hadnt seen it with my own eyes.” She said she knew of two boys slightly hurt by BB shots in the past few days. -Constable William Jensen, vii-l lage officer since July I, told The Liberal he had not heard‘ of any “battles”, but confirmed two boys around 10 years had each been hit in a leg. “Not ser- ious, but it could have been", he commented. After the first com- plaint he visited boys using the rifles. “Two of the fathers took the rifles away from their boys", he reported. “A lot of boys have BB’s around town and are get- ‘ting careless with them. It's got to be stopped”. Constable Jen- sen said he understood smaller children had been threatend by older boys with BB’s. but he knew of no specific case. King Township Constable Ha- rold Russell reported he had re- ceived no complaints lately, but thought the township should have a by-law covering such weapons. He said he has always passed on the warning the rifles shouldn't be fired off the owner’s property. Pumphouse Damaged Hoodlums using a heavy wrench damaged over $100 worth of equipment In the pumphouse of the waterworks reserve No. 1 well. New parts had to be or- dered by Village Secretary G. T.

If more than three are nominated for office of trustee, elections will be held ‘on December 7, the same date as township elections. Town- ship nominations for November 27 were noted. Mr. Herbert Ross will again be asked to act as Returning Of. ficer for the village. The need for other quarters for village administration was touched upon when trustees were discussing the possible purchase of a used pick-up truck. Chair- man Donald Findlay suggested the truck might be kept in the fire hall, with the explanation to firemen the arrangement would be “temporary until an addition was put on the building.” “Most people realize we’re keeping taxes down by using this space,” said Trustee Ronald Bolton, indicating the fire hall room used for village meetings and office work. “The greatest need is for washrooms”, said Secretary G. T. Thompson. Mr. Bolton agreed, ‘We’d all like to see a new building, but for the present this is saving money”. Trustees deferred Mr. Findlay's suggestion to purchase an oak Board table for around $50 while the present room is occupied. Mr. Thompson was asked to look into the truck purchase and buying a “steam jenny”, driven by electric motor, for cleaning culverts. Sidewalk work was considered, but none undertaken. Mr.‘ Bol- ton said, ‘It’s getting late in the season for sidewalk work." Low Water Level “The whole water table has sunk”. reported Mr. Thompson after visiting the wells with a representative \of the consultants Proctor and Redfern. “There’s no stoppage preventing the water from returning to its former well level,” he said. The represéh‘taz" tive will be checking the water-. works for the next few weeks be- fore reporting to the consultants. The true depth of the well from pump base has been established at 47.7 feet, he revealed. Water Commissioner Bolton said, “There’s no problem at the moment. Maybe they can recom- mend some solution. The condi- tion is general all over the coun- ,tryside”. Mr. Findlay added, ‘as .1 read it too.” Little Lynn Freeman receives vouchers for prizes upon her selection as Maidâ€"of-Honor to the Beauty Queen, “Miss Richmond Heights”, from the Deputy-reeve S.

Guest speaker was Mrs. Joy Thomassen, a former Public Health nurse, whose parents were Mr. Bolton’s motion carried for the installationby, Mr. Harry Noakes of a hydrant on Park Road opposite the park. The hyâ€" drant would be near the doctors’ new offices and handy for the outdoor rink contemplated as a joint effort of the Lions Club and Lake Marie Association, he ex- plained. Trustees dwelt at length on drainage afiecting Park Road and Keele St. near the Anglican Church and were given enlightâ€" ening details by Mr. B. J. Lang- don about tile inserted 20 to 25 years ago to facilitate drainage between Park'Road and the pres- ent King City garage. Mr. Findlay proposed obtain- ing advice from County Engin- reer A. J. Bettie about crossr drainage through the hollow east of Patton Street near King St., across to the Unterlander garage on Keele St. Mrs. Scott and Mr. Bolton favored deferring the drainage problem until it becomes more pressing as the section is built up. Mr. Findlay pointed out something should be done soon on a long-term basis about cross- drainage, because greater den- sity of building meant more run- off of water. ' Arrangements were made for placing a lighted Christmas Tree downtown, the tree to be provid- ed by Mr. Norman Payne. Mr. Boltomadvised having the tree lit all December, “since Hydro charges by the month.” 0a]: Ridges, Lake Wilcox Social: Current debenture "payment of $1,278 was» authorized.

The final decision as to whether Oak Ridges will get a new seven room annex or alive room annex plus renovation 'of the original two storey building rests with King Township Council. Whit- church and King Councils met recently to discuss the matter, but no decision was reached be- cause only three of five possible council members from King were present. Two of the three were in favour of the seven room annex, one member, Nor- man Taylor dissenting. Whit- church, whose members were out in force favoured the expendi- ture of the $140,000 necessary to erect the seven roamed annex. Whitchurch Council decided at a recent meeting to make a sur- vey regarding a water area for Lake Wilcox and that part of Oak Ridges lying in that township. It has been a long standing request of Lake Wilcox Ratepayers As-‘ sociation. H. A. Babcock Co. Ltd., township engineers will investi- gate and put their findings before council at a later date. The Wat- er Resources Commission is also being asked for a report on ground water in the area. A vote of property owners is necessary to meet the requirements of the Ontario Municipal Board.
