APRIL 25-26-27-28-29-30 28 Yonge St. S. 93 YONGE ST. S. Now that spring is in full bloom. I think it‘s time to talk a little about the bright new prints that many women will be wearing during the warmer sea- son. Occasionally a lady customer will ask if her printed dress will clean well, and we're always pleased to be able to examine the print and give her our con- sidered opinion. However. I often wish that more women would ask our opin- ion BEFORE theyhuy, instead of at the time the dress needs cleaning. Any time anyone cares to take a garment out on approv- al or buy it outright from a store where they know they will be al- lowed to exchange it, we will be only too glad to advise on whe- ther or not it can be successfully dry cleaned. mammmtg‘” =SI'IIRT SER I98 Yong. Strut N., Richmond Hill The reason I suggest this .is that it is impossible to make any sort .of a general statement about the cieanabiiity of printed fabrics. Manufacturers have a great many difierent methods of printing fabrics these days, and fabrics printed by some methods are much harder to clean than those printed by another method. And even fabrics printed by the same method will sometimes vary in their cleanability, so the only way to be sure is to get an expert opinion beforehand. Most women, I'm’ sure, are axmious to get a readily cleanable garment, and to one and all we extend a cordial invitation to drop into our shop and ask our advice at any time. Monday, iMay 213:!

BABTB Richmond Hill RICHMOND HILL ‘lIflHIfiHu‘nMIIIHITIIHI I’Umor 4-44] I Community service at its best and neighbour helping neighbour is the only way one can describe the wonderful way the people in the 16th Avenue, Duncan Road, Carrville Road area of Markham Township flocked around and helped Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Slings- by following their disastrous fire Thursday evening of last week. The Slingsby’s lost most of their belongings when fire originating in a space heater swept through the frame house on Carrville Road East. Senior citizens, the Slingsby family are well known throughout the district. They first took up residence on Carr- ville Road in 1932. Describing the response of the neighbours as “unbelievable” Fred Gerard the first president of the newly organized Richvale East Residents Association told “The Liberal” “everyone has The Board of T.S.A. No. 1 Markham will be requested to meet with Council and discuss whether it is more feas- ible to do away with the portables at Thornlea School and build a two-room addition, or to sell out and build a brand new school instead. The addition, for which the Board sought Council’s approval, would cost approximately $50,- 000 for two schoolrooms plus a playground. Deputy-reeve Dean: I think it would be better to sell out and build elsewhere â€"â€" and not have an addition to it. Reeve Clark: Council never ag- ‘reed to the (former) school board building'there in the first place. They could have had a site, free of charge in the Selkirk subdiv- ision south of Thornlea. Carr- ville Road is served by the pres- ent school â€" and there is another proposed site on Carrville. Cheaper To Scrap School Than Build An Addition Council Invites T.S.A. To Discuss This Problem Dea'm: An addition would mean taking the children down there through industrial development, I question the advisability. Reeve: Perhaps they are not aware of the development in that area, they may change their way of thinking when we have dis- cussed the problem with them. Appointment “There is a prOSpect of a cem- etery in this area in 15 or 20 years. but in the meantime, if We can purchase the land we will lease it for at last 5 years." He then gave a history of the Toron- to General Burial Grounds Cor- poration which began operations in 1826 with a board of trustees who organized the first Ontario burial ground, “Potter‘s Field” at the north-west corner of Yonge and Bloor Streets. Mr. Clark said in 1826 with a who organized Mr. F. D. Clark,‘ supervisor for the trustees, was invited to spieak on the request and said, Council appointed Mr. R. B. Rae as a member of Markham Township Court of Revision, re- placing Frank Robb who retired due to health reasons. Hear Delegations Reeve William Clark said it was a coincidence that there were three ‘Clarks‘ present, but that there was no relationship be- tween himself and the other two ‘Clarks‘. Four delegations met with the Markham Township Council at their weekly session Monday night to discuss: Cemeteries, Road Allowances, Access and House Numbering. Opposing the application were six ratepayers from the area, in- cluding two women. After dis- cussion, the application was held in abeyance for further debate. A Mr. Robinson represented Messrs, Howard F. and F. D. Clark. Trustees of Toronto Gen- eral Burial Grounds, who were present regarding an application to purchase land for a new cem- etery between Concessions 6 and 7 on Part Lots 14 and 15. $3 ._ K. I The neighbours are busy rebuilding following the disastrous fire. and restoring the Slingsby residence -â€" photc Community Service been just wonderful in pitching in and helping in every way possible.” Mr. Walter Doyle was immediately placed in charge of rebuilding the house. All during the week-end from early morning to late at night up to as many as 20 neighbours worked away at restoring the three rooms that were saved by the quick action of the Richmond Hill Fire Bri- gade. Richvale merchants very generously donated cleaning ma- terials, building supplies and household equipment. The ladies auxiliary of the ratepayers which was only a week old immediately began canvassing the district for furniture and clothing. Represen- tatives of the service clubs in Richmond Hill responded to the call for assistance. Howenéi' additional assistance of clothing, househ’old goods and money are still needed. Anyone the trustees had started the com- pany with sixty pounds sterling, and everything the company now has, which includes Pine Hills Cemetery, Scarborough, .Mount Pleasant Cemetery; York Cem- etery, Willowdale and Prospect Cemetery, came from that initial investment on a nonâ€"profit basis. Mr. Clark also said the corpora- tion owns land in Vaughan Town- ship, north of Jane Street and south of Highway No. 7. "This is a public service", Mr. Clark said. “and we are not in this for pro- fit”. All pgofits go towards new land purchases. In answer to a question from Deputy-reeve Wilfred Dean, who asked if they would assume a small abandoned cemetery in the area proposed, Mr. Clark said they would maintain it, as soon as a permit to take over the land was obtained. At this a Mr. Mer- chant who was present from the 7th Concession asked, “What ab- out the people living in the area? The value of my property will become slightly lower than zero. In 10 or 20 years there will be a tax free setup for the cemetery and property will be valueless around it." A woman ratepayer protesting said. “But they are in the city â€" we are in the country.” Anoth- er said, “We will never get facil- ities in then." Mr. Merchant said he will apply to have his taxes reduced if the cemetery goes in. and another ratepayer asked if the land purchased by the trus- tees now might not be resold for subdivision purposes, instead of being developed as a cemetery. Mr. Clark said that was not the way his company did things. How- ever he and Mr. Robinson said it might be advantageous to the trustees to buy any adjoining land at a fair price. and then al- low the occupants of the present homes and farms in the area to pay rent for five years or so until the cemetery was developed. “We certainly want to deal fairly with Mr. Clark assured him that contrary to some public Opinion. land in the vicinity of a cemetery does not lose its value, but on the contrary many fine homes are established in the area of cem- eteries} he said he didn’t know of any property that had de- creased in value because of prox- imity to a cemetery, in fact many homes had been built on the borders of burial grounds. after a cemetery had been established. Golden Lion $110.00 I8 Numbers Called wishing to aid this worthy cause is asked to please call Mr. Fred Gerard, president of the Rich- vaIe East Residents Association at AV. 5-3904 after four o-clock in the afternoon. Mr. Gerard re- sides on 16th Avenue. Mr. Gerard paid special tribute to the Richmond Hill Fire Bri- gade for the very efficient way in which they responded to the call and saved three of the rooms. Spring road conditions and the frame construction made the task of the firemen a dif- ficult one. With the very warm hearted spontaneous way in which the community responded to the plight of its friend and neigh- bour Mr. Gerrard is certain with this spirit the future of the rate- payers organization will be a happy one. the present property owners". Mr. Robinson stated. The second delegation repres- ented by Walter McHoull receiv- ed a letter of maintenance for road allowance north of Clark on Johnson so building in that area can go ahead. TSA N0. 1 Markham Reeve Clark said there will be another meeting with the board of trustees and the ratepayers concerned, before council makes a decision. Letter of Maintenance Council Monday night to ask that arrangements for an access to Woodland Public School from John to Elgin or Henderson be started so that a pathway at least be in use by September. “The Department of Education has said school boards should not get into problems of roads, so we are bringing this to you to deal with,” they told council. They were as- sured by council this problem would be partly cleared up with the extension of Henderson Ave. and Councillor Lawson Mumber- son stated, “This is one of coun- cil's number one projects. Hen- derson will go north to Elgin." And Elgin will eventually be ex- tended from the present end to Johnson St. WTVrurstees J. MacKay and J. Honsberger appeared befprg :Jigurama fill Trustee MacKay said this would leave John St. without acâ€" cess, except by going over to Yonge Street, “What is planned for extending Henderson to John Street?" he asked. Councillor Mumberson: It’s too big a problem to undertake in one year. MacKay: Then let us have a pathway from John to Elgin. Reeve Clark said every considera- tion and study of the problem should be made, and Councillor John MacNeil assured the dele- gates the pathway would be disâ€" Studio Hours Mon.

They then discussed the ‘boil up' on the surface of their road and asked for immediate atten- tion to pot holes and broken road. Councillor Mumberson, Chairman of Roads, told them work would be done on Ida Street. as well as elsewhere in the township as weather and funds in the road budget permitted. “We have to wait for weather conditions, and until half load restrictions are off. If we take in half loads of gravel now it costs us twice as much money.” Councillors Mum- berson and Watson drove over 10 miles of township roads early Monday morning determining spring thaw damage. York University Site Mr. M. Riley of Elgin Street wrote a letter to council regard- ing the Langstaff Farm as a site for York University and ask- ed council to explore it more ful- ly. Deputy-reeve Dean heard the letter read then said, “People don't know the Department of Highways has bought 75 acres on the south side of the Jail Farm and that there will be no access except on Bayview or Yonge. be- cause of the through highway ‘which is to be-built by the De- partment. Add the fact that an expensive overpass from Bay- view will be needed. That prop- erty will not be nearly as desir- able for a university site as it ap~ pears at the present time”, he concluded. Reeve Clark closed the discus- sion by saying the property is still under consideration by Tor- onto and York University. First Movers’ Permit ‘ Markham Township Council ls- sued the first permit to a mover in Unionville following a request received from McMillan & Hin- an. Stoufl‘ville Fire Truck A request by letter from Stoufi‘ville Village, asking Mark- ham Township to contribute a share ($1.500) of the purchase price of a $15,000 fire truck for use outside the village in sur- rounding areas, met with full ap- proval of council who comment. ed on the fine service rendered by co-operative fire departments. The deputy~reeve said he could understand the village has been put in a position to purchase (Stouffville will keep its present fire truck for village use only), he then moved the grant be made. 29 Yonge St. S.
