His proposal won the unanimous support of the association. 1960 Executive Elected Chairman Harry Goldberg then called for nominations for the new 1960 Executive. Fred Gar- diner and Colonel Picking were nominated for the presidency. Mr. Gardiner declined the hon- our and Colonel Picking was el- ected. Fred Gardiner and George Hill (of the Richmond Hai‘dware) as well as Mrs. Banks (of the Village Gift Shop) and Chuck Taylor were all nominated for the vice-presidency. AFred Gar- diner, Ml'S. Banks and Chuck Taylor all declined the honour and Mr. Hill was elected. On a proposal by Mr. Taylor, a new committee to be known as the flower committee was appoint- ed comprising Mrs. Pa: Ander- son of the Patti-Lu Shop and Mrs. Hewitt of The Wool Shop. New President Takes Over Mr. William Neal of Neal} Mo- tors and Mr. McLatchy of Fabric Fair. were elected as the mem- bership committee and Mr. John Graham of Radio Statin CJRH with Mr. Paul Delmer represent- ing The Liberal Printing Co. were elected as the association's pub- licity commitiee. Miss Gladys McLatchy (of Fab- ric Fair) was secretary last year and was re-elected with no other nominations as was also the treas- u'rer, Mr. Joe Parisi (of Paris El- ectric). Last year’s parking committee, consisting of Mr. Fisher. Mr. Hill and Joe Parisi were unanimous- ly re-elected. New Committee V Mr. Chuck Taylor and Mr. Sleeman (Manager of the Royal Bank) were appointed to audit the accounts. On completion of the election chairman of the meeting and re- tiring president of the associa- tion Harry Goldberg called upon the new president, Colonel Pick~ ing, to take the chair. Addi'essing the associétion for the first time in‘ his new capacity. Colonel Picking said he would make it short, sharp and to the point. He added that he was prob- ably the biggest fool in Richmond Hill to accept this honour at a time when his hands were al- mum-0.6.... ready so full but promised, “not miracles but a jolly good try". He would carry on the good work of the past. He asked the assoc- iation to join with him in a vote of thanks and to record a resolu- tion of appreciation to Harry Goldberg and the members of the retiring executive for the good work of the past year. Such a resolution was put on record proposed by Mr. Neal seconded by Don Thurston of Tnurston’s Men‘s Wear. The new president went on to recollect that years ago he had been avfounder mem- ber of the association and it came as something of a surprise after all the events and intervening years to find himself in 1960 head- mg the association as president. He had a deep affection for Rich- mond Hill. He declared that mem- bers would either sink or swim ltogether and all must get togeth- The president rose again to sug- gest a vote of thanks to “The Liberal” and to Radio Station CJRH, both of Richmond Hill, in appreciation of their co~opera- tion. He thought they had done a particularly good job with re- gard to publicizing the assoeia- tion's Christmas efl‘orts. These thoughts had already been ex- pressed earlier hut he felt that with both organizations repres- ented ‘at the meeting it was a more personal thing to let the organizations know of this ap- preciation through these repres- entatives. (Applause). Seek Best Brains Mr. John Graham suggested that expert speakers on problems connected with retail selling should be invited to. address the association at its regular meet- ings. Colonel Picking agreed that "We should seek the best brains and talents to help in our prob- lems.” He added that “there should be a focal point around which ‘each meeting should er and work together. He con- cluded by thanking the associa- tion for the honour conferred up- on him and repeated his promise to “do his best". Vote of Thanks The meeting of the association was adjourned on this note. The whole meeting had been ably managed by both the retiring and the new president and the accent was in accordance with the new decade of the Sixties. A power- ful spirit pervaded the meeting and it was obvious that ambitions were stirring to put the associa- tion on top of things with new energy and urgency. The Colonel said that Yonge Street could be made into Ontario’s “Main Street” and his statement was loudly applauded. If the associa- tion retains this mood it is ob- vious that much will be heard of it throughout 1960. "We should seek the best brains and talents to help in our prob- lems.” He added that “there’ should be a focal point around which each meeting should be built”. He called on the assoc- iation to leave behind any thoughts of a negative attitude and to adopt a powerful and pos- itive attitude. They must sell all merchants the idea they were competing in a struggle for sur- vival and must in winning large attendance at the meetings of the association do something to com- bat ’the attractions of other in- terests. That the urgency it felt was genuine was demonstrated by the fact that when the general meet- ing adjourned, at 10 pm. the ex- ecutive was called by Colonel Picking into immediate session to study the problem of park- ing. The meeting continued for another hour during which a plan of action was decided upon. Readers will‘hear more of this in due course. Those present were Colonel Picking, Miss McLatchy, Mr. Joe Parisi, Mr. Wm. Neal, Mr. George Hill, Mr. Harry Goldberg, Mrs. Hewitt, Mr. John Graham and Mr. Paul Delmer. A suggestion that an occasion- al social night might be organized giving wives a chance to join the merchants in an evening out was well received. The presulent sug- gested this should be consid- ered by the executive who would draw up some definite proposals to be laid before the next assoc- iation meeting “at an early date.” The meeting‘of the association wgsAadjourned on this note. The Coffee was served to this meet~ ing which arrived with a note from Mr. Fred Gardiner read out by the president, “Best of luck to the nEW executive. Have coffee on me”. Which is a happy note on which to end this report. Third polio shots Will be ad- ministered publicity at the Thomhill United Church on Monday, Feb. 8, 7.30 to 9 pm.
