WELLS Weed Inspector IMPERIAL QBAHKW Statistics studied in the ab- street are coldly imperSOnal un- less related to something familiar, then they come to life in a vital and intriguing way. This was borne out through a visit with Richmond Hill’s Postmaster E. T. Willis and Assistant Postmaster Douglas Brown. They explained that in 1959 their 24-member staff members handled 248.587 more pieces of mail than in 1958 . . ' and that the 1960 figures would undoubtedly show an even greater increase. “We are in a better than average position to appreciate The Hill's spectacular growth." said Mr. Willis. In 1958 the local post ofiice handled 966,284 items and this does not include metered letters which. said Mr. Brown. would certainly bring the 1958 figure to at least one million. In 1959, still not including metered letters. the figure rose to 1,214,137}. Elaborating on the general growth of the town and its over- all economy. they said that prob‘ ably the best reflection .of prog- ress was the sharp increase in the sales of unemployment insur- ance stamps. In the April 1- March 15 period, this year. some $84.000.00 worth of stamps were sold. During the same approxim- ate period in 1958, similar sales came to just under $46,000.00. Also in this period, cash re- ceipts from second and third class matter and postage meter sittings came to just under $17,000. Sim- Landslide P.O. Business Mirrors The Spectacular Growth Of Richmond Hill Miss E. Henrietta Osler, an ac- tive worker in the Canadian Girl Guides Association for many years, was appointed Chief Com- missioner of the Canadian Girl Guides (whose membership stands at 200,000), at the annual meet- ing of the Canadian Council held last week at Wymilwood House, University of Toronto. Formerly deputy chief commissioner, Miss Osler has represented Canadian Guides at several World Confer- ences. To mark the Golden Anniver- sary of Guiding, one million tul- ips were planted from coast to coast in Canada, and as far north as the Canadian Arctic, last fall Canadian Council G.G.A. Appoints I960 Exective . . . this spring the golden river has spread across the land as the springtime blgomjng took place. Interest in Guiding among pre- teens and teenagers has risen too and membership has increased greatly across the Dominion. In the North-West Territories 42.9% more members have registered in the association. and the East- ern Arctic Division, newly form~ ed, has expanded the work of the Canadian Girl Guides into the tar nogh. Guiding in Canada, which rea- ched its 50th anniversary this spring, has added a new badge â€" for Conservation -â€"- thus keep- ing in trend with the modern trend and current events. Cheryl Moore, three and one half year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Moore of 427 Fern- leigh Crescent is recovering from a car mishap which occurred at 1.05 pm. June 5 at the corner of Sussex Avenue and Fesserton Road. Local p0 ice say the child apparently dared out from be- hind a parked vehicle and was brushed by a car driven by Gar- ry Leach, 17, of Richvale. The child was treated for abrasions and allowed to go home. No charges were laid. Camping has shown a spectac- ular and satisfying upsurge too. WILLOWDALE â€" Contractors will have to submit new tenders for paving of Sheppard Avenue from Yonge St. to west of Ad- dington Avenue. Because of er- rors in the two low tenders, coun- cil has decided to ask all nine contractors who originally made bids to send in new ones. Ap- proximate cost of the project will be in the neighbourhood of $115.-‘ 000. Brushed By Car Girl Recovers llar 1959 figures came to $11.- mus. I Other comparable 1959-60 fig- urea for the April l-March 15 period. with the 1959 totals bracketted. are as follows: mon- ey orders, $33,948. ($21,754.) bank saving deposits 44 (38), sav- ings bank withdrawal. 38 (20). registered articles 21,813 (18,012), insured parcels 1.195 (1,085). C.O.D. articles. 9,246 (1,580), special deliveries. 1,615 (1,347). Few persons realize the scope of the Canadian postal service. -Mr. Willis pointed out that in 1959 the system everywhere in 1310:! uu‘: ayaucxu LVIZ VllwAu ., . Canada did a $183,000,000 busi- ness and handled 3,802,000,000 pieces of mail or the equivalent of 200 pieces of mail for each of the 18,000,000 citizens. In the same year money orders in the grand total amount of $850,000,000 were issued. Incidentally. the average value per money order was $15.85. uuuuuu r..- u.-â€" 1‘ Mr. Brown added that the 1959 figure for pieces of mail handled represented an increase over 1958 of 80 million. This mass of work was carried out by'50,000 full and part-time employees. By the time this report goes to press. the new $200,000 post of- fice on Arnold Street at the south end of Richmond Hill may be in full operation. -_ ..-..-.. .n, -....- yr..-â€" Between them, Mr. Willis with 28 years association with the pos- tal system and Mr. Brown, with 13 years service, appear, more than well qualified for their work. Canadian GuideS, Cadets and Rangers camped abroad, or visit- ed on exchange, groups in Swed- en, Fiji, Australia, Switzerland, Mexico, the United‘States and Finland. v At last week’s convention, am- ong the honorary members of the new executive was listed Mrs. Ernest Redelmeier’s mother, Mrs. John A. Wilson. Mrs. Redelmeier is the Executive Chairman of the Dominion Nominations . Commit- tee, she is a past commissioner for Richmond Hill. Other local residents who are on this .year’s Dominion Executive are: Mrs. W. Thomson; Mrs. H. G. Currie, who is also Divisional Commissioner for York Central, and Mrs. Wright Morrow, member of the Dominion Camping Committee. It is remarkable to note that recently a magistrate commented, “If members or former- members of the Guides or Scouts are called as witnesses in court, there is no need to explain the giving of an oath or ‘promise’.” From the time girls and boys are enrolled as brownies or cubs they learn the Guide or Scout law, which begins, “I promise . . ." We’ve been having some inter- esting spare-moments ' reading from old “Liberal” files, which go back to 1884, since we moved into our larger offices (have YOU been in to see our newly enlarg- ed offices yet?) and from time to time you’ll be favoured with "A Journey into History," through a reprint of what we believe our readers like to see in a weekly newspaper. Dear Friends and Readers: Sofné of the exerpts are pre- cious. Take this one for instance, from “The Liberal" of 1899: “It is estimated that free rural mail delivery ls increasing the value of land in Colorado, where it is in operation â€" to $5. an acre.” the boat, And now his friends must weep. For he’s at present rocking in The cradle of the deep." H901) T day we usually reach for a tea y-‘mix when beating up a cake for tea, but in the year 1899 the following recipe for Almond Cake made a big hit with women readers and their. ‘consumer’ families: » Four eggs. 1 cup butter, 2 teas. pooniuls baking powder, one pint milk, 2. cups of sugar, 2 cu_ps flour, 1 cup corn starch, 2 ounces bitter almonds. Even way back when, people were guilty of not operating plea- sure boats properly, or with re: gard to safety as the following poem dramatically implies: “There was a 1001 who rocked “Cream butter and sugar to- gether, then put in'the 4 egg yokes, then the milk; sift the flour, cornstarch and baking pow- der. Blanch almonds and grate them fine; put these and the whites of the 4 eggs, beaten to a froth. in last. Beat all 10 min- utes. This will make two? loav_es." The housewife was advised to “bake 40 minutes â€"- in a smo- thered oven" â€"â€" Our guess is, that would be at a low heat, per- haps some of our women read- ers who were raised on a farm. or who have cooked with woodstoves could fighter: us on this point. Going to try the recipe? let’s hea: the results. We we’ll halve the recipe for at our house.

High Some Places Residents in the area near the proposed CNR by-pass south of Thornhill have had continuing concern about the height of the tracks, which will cross Markham and Vaughan Townships to the new marshalling yards. A recent letter from J. L. Mc- Cann, CNR projects director to F. H. Brennan, Chairman of Markham Twp. Planning Board gives the details of the track pro- le of the proposed railway grade between fiayyiew and Yonge St. From Bayview Avenue to the East Don River Valley the fill will be approximately 20 feet high. There will be a bridge about 270 feet long across the river, and from thevwest bank of the valley to Sprucewood Ave., the fill will be about 30 feet high. Between Sprucewood and Henderson Ave- nues, the height of the fill varies from 20 feet .to a maximum of 45 feet over the small creek just east of Henderson, and is 30 feet high at Henderson. West of this street. the fill is a maximum of 35 feet' in height, diminishing to zero, and from a point 1100 feet east of Yonge St. the track is in cut, reaching a maximum height of Â¥37 feet at Yonge Street.
