St. Matthews United Held Annual Meeting The First Beverley Acres Boy Scout group takes pleasure in announcing that the coveted ‘Re- ligion and Life badge has been awarded to Queen’s Scout David Sale. This is one, of only three, b..dges that a Scout may wear on his chest rather than on the arm. The candidate is tested by his minister, priest or rabbi; Rev. J. W. Newton-Smith of St. Gabriel’ Anglican Church was David’s examiner and he found him to be well qualified for this honour. David lives at 223 Beechy in Beverley Acres. with his parents Mr. and Mrs. Peter Sale. He re- cently attended a River Moot and proved that he was fully quali- fied to wear the Winter Sports- man badge, a symbol of allround ability in winter activities.

Despite an overnight snowfall and a keen north wind, 13 enthus- iastic boys met at the Legion Hall on Carrville at 9 am. on February 7 for a Sunday hike. One A.S.M. led Patrol Leaders and Seconds 05 to mark the trail, the remainder of the troop fol- lowed after a 15 minute interval. a wooded lot near Dufierin. After eventually joining the leaders in much searching for dry wood, fires were started and meals cook- ed, the S-.M. demonstrating the preparation and cooking of a shishkabob, which he ate with ap- parent enjoyment. The boys still had energy to spare and this was partly ex- pended on a game of “Relieve-O" which provided enough thrills and chills in the snow to tire even the most hardy amongst them. By 2 pm. everyone was begin- ning to feel a little tired, so fires were doused and with the keen wind, this time blowing into left ears, came the steady walk home. The next outdoor event will be a week-end trip to a cottage for senior scouts, news of which will be published later. Canvassers for the Boy Scout Campaign are pleased to report they have met with an enthusias- tic response to their drive, and hope it will go over the top. “Talks” To Sister Across The Miles 25 Roosevelt Dr. AV. 5-3116 Richvale News Correspondents: MRS. E. E. SPEARS GoldenLion $100.00 - 8 ‘7 Numbers Called JACKPOT NUMBERS CALLED One of our best-known birds, the Eastern Bluebird, was drastically reduced in numbers in the northern part of its range two years ago. The situation was so serious that the Bluebird was termed a ‘disaster species’ by a well- known Ontario Ornithologist. Now, if the hundreds of letters received by the Federation of Ontario Naturalists from all across Canada are an indication, the Bluebird seems to be making a comeback, particularly in the rural and northern areas. One observer saw nineteen adult Blue- birds along a concession road in the Bruce Peninsula last gune. He also found a nest containing four young Blue- irds. (Continued from page 1) The Reeve moved that traps be installed at homes in Beverley Acres where flooding occurred, and that the town engage an en- gineer to examine the whole sys- tem and recommend any changes or additions in the sanitary sew- er system. The motion was se- conded by Councillor Bradstock and carried. J . Councillor Broadhur'st suggest- ed ‘the whole matter should be considered by the Special Com- mittee investigating the engin- eering for Beverley Acres sub- division. He suggested special at- tention in investigating the en- gineering when phase two of the Beverley Acres development was proceeded with. . Ambulance Service Roy McBrien who commenced operation of an ambulance ser- vice here last October asked a town subsidy if the service is to continue. He suggested a town subsidy of $100. per month. The operation has been unpro- fitable to date. From October to the end of the year he received 47 calls, and of these 27 have been paid and 20 remain_un- paid. He told council he had picked up a case where the man had suffered a broken neck and had to be taken to the hospital. He answered the call in good faith but is still waiting payment However the situation is still serious and every effort should be made to provide nest-boxes, placed in suitable locations, during February and March when the Bluebird returns from its wintering grounds in the South. 7 _P1a'né of nesting-Boxes for the Bluebird are available free of charge from the Federation office, Edward Gar- dens, Don Mills, Ont. of the account. About half his calls are in Vaughan and he is approaching that municipality for assistance. Last year a number of fiest-boxes were put up by the public in response to a call from the “Save the Bluebirds” campaign, sponsored by the F.O.N. The Ontavio Naturalists are meeting in annual con- vention at Richmond Hill this week-end. Mayor Tomlin said the Munici- pal Act does not authorize pay- ment of a subsidy by the town. “We're thinking of building a hospital, so should have an am- bulance” said Councillor Broad- hurst. Reeve Haggart said he didn’t think there would be any legal difficulties it the town hired s uieone to operate an ambul- ance. On motion of Councillor Broadhurst it was agreed to in- vestigate ways and means of con- tinuing the requlred service up to a maximum outlay of $1200. per year. Debentures Reeve Haggart reported that York County Council has estab- lished a policy of guaranteeing debentures for High School Buildings in the County and will issue debentures for $800,000. for the new Bayview High School in Richmond Hill. . Pleasantville School Delegation Night â€"- The new post office was required with the retirement of Mr. and Mrs. William Es- pey, who have been postmas- ters for the district since 1928. “The Liberal" has just re- ceived official word that the new Elgin Mills Post Office will be located in Rogers 1.
