It is time to have your fruit trees sprayed with dormant spray. It is also ime to spray your Elm trees for control of Dutch Elm diseaSe. It should be pointed out that even he most carefully de- vised program will not give com- plete control of Dutch Elm dis- ease. However experience has :hown that in a given area losses can be limited to 1 to 2 per cent a year. If‘no control measures are adopted the loss of a consid- erable proportion of the Elm pop- ulation may be expected.

Lees on Levendale Road, Richmond Hill, to offer their good wishes for happiness and good health on the occasion of their 50th wed- ding anniversary. The house was beautifully decorated with yellow daffodils, snapdragons and roses and a variety of greeting cards completely covered the mantel of the stone fireplace. Mrs. Lees re- ceived gowned in a blue lace dress with corsage of yellow roses. The tea table was centred with a large bouquet of yellow mums and roses, yellow candles and the anniversary wedding cake up- on which rested a golden cup. Presiding at the table in the af- ternoon were Mrs. Walter Lloyd of Thornton, Mrs. Walter Osborne of Toronto and Mrs. Harold Newns of Bradford; and in the evening by Mrs. Percy Usher of Edgeley and Mrs. Herbert Max- well of Toronto, assisted by Mrs. Fred Bradford, Mrs. Jack Flana- gan and Mrs. Ted Sutherland, all of Richmond Hill. They all wore corsages of pink and white carna- tion petals and green fern. Mr. Lees was born at Wolver- hampton, England, and came to Canada at the age of 11, staying for awhile in Muskoka and then coming to Smithfield near This- tletown where he met Ida Louise Considerable discussion was generated in the Council Cham- ber at the regular meeting of the Richmond Hill Council Monday when the Personnel Committee report was read suggesting ap- pointment of a uniformed By-law Enforcement Officer at a salary between five and six thousand dollars. I’ll Go For It Committee Recommends Appointment Full Time Enforcement Official Councillor Tom Broadhursb raised a laugh when he remarkâ€" ed, “Increase it another five hun- dred and I'll go for it myself". Councillor Howard Whillans, a member of the Personnel Com- mittee responded, “Put that in writing and we’ll take you up on it." The Mayo-r remarked, “You would have to resign from coun- cil."

At their wedding dinner there were two brothers. Percy and Harvey Usher, and they were both present with their wives last Sunday to help in the celebra- tions. Mr. and Mrs. Lees resided for the first 14 years at Thistle- town. later moving to a farm at Teston. After 12 years, they mov- ed to Gorlnley and stayed there about six years before finally set- tling in Richmond Hill. They have one son, Garnet, who is married and living in Willowdale. He and his wife and son Dawson assisted in receiving the host of callers who came from Thornbury. Clarksburg, Bradford, Kleinburg. Newmarket, Maple, Richmond Hill and Toronto. About 35 peop- le enjoyed a buffet supper be- tween the afternoon and evening receptions. The happy couple were the re- ci‘pients of many lovely and use- ful gifts and “The Liberal" joins with the members of the family and friends in wishing them many more years of happiness together. Mrs. Lees was very well known around the St. Lawrence and North York Markets where she served the public for 53 years with farm products and made a host of friends. York. Councillor Whillans said he had talked with the officer in North York who also had quite a large stafi. He said the officer was responsible for saving the town- ship a lot of money. However, he thought that the Building ,Inspec- tor could have those duties in- corporated in his own, because his duties were steadily decreas- ing. The Mayor supported the sug- gestion. The Mayor called on the Clerk for information and was told that there had been little in- spection calls since the beginning of the year. The Mayor said that there was very little land left in The Reeve said that while the By-law Enforcement Officer might haw. a heavy schedule to start off with, his duties also would decrease as time went on. The Mayor went on to say that “‘However much we might desire it, the town simply cannot afford It â€" not this year anyway". Councillor Whillans replied that in effect it would cost the town nothing since the officer's salary would be more than offset by sa- vings achieved by the officer in the course of his duties. He claimed that it she 11d be a full time job. He did not object to appointment of the building in‘ spector for the post but he should be relieved in that event of his original duties. If they were really decreasing at such a rate, someone else in the department could carry them out without hardship. He should be appointed quickly and given full authority. Personality Important t1» town for' building and the calls on the inspector would con- tinue to decrease. Cannot Afiord It Councillor Broadhurst said such an ofiicer.re<mired no ex- tensive qualifications. Councillor Whillans agreed, but said the ofiicer’s personality was the most important thing since simply by his manner of approach he should be able to achieve co-operation from law-breakers. Most offend- ers did not know they were break- ing by-laws and were co-operative if approached properly To get a man of this type the salary had to be attractive. The proposal was referred to the Finance Commit- eed That water courses and water course structures which will be influenced by development in Vaughan Township be improved and replaced as set out in this re- port. These watercourses and structures to be affected by the Spring-Vaughan evelopment should be dealt with immediately and negotiations with the Town- ship of Vaughan for participation in financial cost of the work to be taken immediately. That negotiations with owners of proposed fully serviced subdi- visions be undertaken immediate- ly, concerning the temporary treatment plant. the financing as- pects of the sewer rental charge payments to be made to the Met- tropolitan Corporation. k r . .g____ ...:n n nunscu Av- .-..__ _.,, “I hope to have the budget ready for the first meeting in April".

(“Bill”) Rudd of Richmond Hill - contributed to the success of an amazing test conducted in Toronto General Hospital *â€" one that marks a re- cord advance in the history of medical blood transfusion. For the first time in Canada on Tues- day of last week, doctors admin- istered to Bill the first new con- centrated blood derivative pro- duced by the Connaught Labora- tories in cooperation with the Canadian Red Cross. A letter tram York County Council was read at Richmond Hill and Vaughan Township Coun- cil meetings Monday, requesting list of inducements encouraging establishment of the proposed York University within the Coun- ty. This new substance is known as “concentrated anti-hemophilia globulin,” requiring twelve pints of blood to produce one flask of this new substance. the object- ive of which is to stop hemorrhâ€" ages, but the great value of this new blood derivative is the ele- ment of time in transfusion. as it speeds up the clotting factor. Results achieved by the initial testing of this new blood de- rivative will undoubtedly result in renewed appeal for donatlons of blood. as especially beneficial to the number of Hemophiliacs (of which Bill is one) â€" boys who suffer from the bleeder‘s diâ€" sease. The slightest bump can trigger the internal bleeding, that. .without skilful treatment, may result in permanently crip- Citing this first case: In pres- ent blood transfusions, two to four hours are required to ad- minister one pint of blood with- out dangerous reactionâ€"whereas â€" the 'equivalent of 36 pints were administered to Bill in 30 minutes! A report on County Planning received from the County Plan- ning Board came under fire by members of Richmond Hill Coun- cil at Monday's meeting. The Mayor said it was the Fifth Wheel of Government. Reeve Haggart said it could have good effects. Councillor Bradstock said it could accomplish little on the $500 expenditure proposed. He also stated it represented an un- necessary duplication of effort. Councillor Broadhurst said it was "moribund". Report was .passed to the Town’s Planning Board for its views, on motion of the Reevet Richmond Hill Council received a request from a solicitor acting for the Bott Construction Com- pany requesting return of a de- posit forwarded recently with a tender. The company subsequent- ly added an item to the tender. Council Accepted the original ten- der. (Full report appeared in “The Liberal" last week. The re- quest was referred to the Finance Committee.) Coyndl Briefs WANTS DEPOSIT RETURNED Byâ€"law No. 912 allowing for the expropriation of easements for extension of sewerage works re- ceived its third reading as am- ended by the Municipal Board, at Monday’s regular council meet- ing. Council was informed by Clerk Russell Lynett that a letter had been received confirming that interim approval coverin cost of obtaining easements ha been received. The Mayor re- marked that “this is good news”. WANTS FOAM DETERGENTS ABOLISHED Councillor John Bradstock sug- gested to council Monday that the Clerk be instructed to for- ward a letter from the council requesting the forthcoming Con- ference of Mayors and Reeves to consider legislating against the sale of quick foaming detergents because of the illâ€"effects they had onrdrainage systems. BUILDING PERMITS â€" RATES INCREASED A by-law to increase cost of all types of building permits receiv- ed three readings before Rich- mond Hill Council on Monday. The increases are of a moderate nature. Reduce Buttonville P. S. Rate Cpuncil wthou'glt it a good idea and adopted the suggestion. in- structing 'the Clerk accordingly. BAYVIEW AVE. DRAINAGE When Buttonville Public School board members met at the school last Friday ev- ening it was disclosed by Chairman Mr. S. R. Patter- son,‘ that the financial posi- tion of the local school is such that ratepayers in the area may expect a drop in their public school tax rate again this year. At a time when most school area taxes are skyrocketing this is very good news indeed, especially when this is achieved with- out sacrificing on school prop- erty, equipment or teachers' salaries, as Buttonville school has a top rating at the De- partment of Education. ‘fi/W/Zul‘i Joca/ Kay, 37;”! .70 [Q’ceiue Wew Stripe 13/00:! j'andflwion COUNTY PLANNING YORK UNIVERSITY pled joints â€" to the accompani- ment of the worst! pain imagin- able. or even death. The average victim receives 45 transfusions per year, and it is not unusual for a boy to require two and three transfusions a day for weeks at a time. In some eases. it is the constant recurrence that causes hemophilia to be referred to ‘as “the world’s most expensive disease.” Bill Rudd was born in Vancou- ver, B. C., and is physically able to engage in all normal activities that do not endanger internal conditions. Though ten of his twenty years have been spent in hospitals, it has never retarded his education. Bill commenced his schooling at the age of six, continuing right on, never miss- ing a grade; on graduating from high school. he attended the Uni- versity of St. John's, Newfound- land. and shortly will resume his studies at the University of To- ronto, his goal being the de- gree of Bachelor of Commerce. Bill's cheery outlook on life. physical activities. education and travels â€" from the “Atlantic to the Pacific" several times, and through the United States â€" has all been made possible by parent- al co-operation, plus his own for- titude. The Rudd family com- prise his father, mother and one sister Terry, who is a student at Richmond Hill High School. The family are members of St. Matthew’s United ‘Church, Mrs. Rudd being a very active work- er, and Capt. R. W. Rudd is an Elder of the church. Capt. Rudd is at present Quartermaster of No. 6 Personnel Depot, Toron- to â€" previously being attached to military posts from British Columbia to Newfoundland, also to posts in England and Ger- many. A fall in July, resulting in a broken leg, caused Bill to again be hospitalized, requiring 290 bottles of blood; as a matter of record, during his first eleven years, 5,000 flasks of blood were necessary for his survival. The urgent request -â€" and need -â€" for donations of blood, and more blood, is made more apparent by the fact that those suffering from the blood coagul- ation defects known as Hemo- philia, are entirely dependent on fresh blood â€" the generous gift of one pint of blood'xwill allow some hemophiliac to live and enjoy the same advantages and opportunities which we more fortunate persons are privileged to enjoy in this great country of Canada. 29 Yonge St. S., RICHMOND HILL PEEK FREAN SAVE 10c S.P. â€" “In Cryvac” GRAPE, ORANGE, PARTY PUNCH HI-C JUICE zasoz.ans59 SAVE 4c COTTAGE R O L LS FRESHLY GROUND â€" SAVE 12c â€" 1 lb. pkg.
