Eighty youngsters from the Loyal True Blue and Orange Home had themselves a ball at the carnival held in Richmond Heights Shopping Centre last week, when John Griffin, Bert Grant and one of the Merchants’ Association representatives, Dir- ector Vern Dynes, teamed up with Don Pitcher, owner of the “King’s Show", to give these nursery-age-to-teens children an afternoon of fun they will not noon forget. Transported by car from the Orange Home on Highway No. 11. just north of Richmond Hill, to the fair grounds â€" one nurs- ery tad was heard to exclaim, "Boy, that’s the first time I’ve ridden in a Cadillac”, as Mrs. Pitcher carried carload after carload down to the fun-filled Fair centre. Accompanying the children were Mrs. S. Freethy and staff ‘mothers’, and three board members of the Home, Miss Lillian Connor, Mrs. M. Bunting and Mrs. E. Dix. These ladies are always ‘ready to go’, when such invitations come into the Home for the children -â€" and they, and their hosts always get a real thrill out of such out- ings, not only for the pleasure it gives their young charges but because a nicer. more courteous and interested bunch of kids is difficult to find.

Just as soon as the first car- load of children arrived at the fair grounds last Wednesday af- ternoon, Reeve James Haggart was there~ to greet them, along with Mr. Pitcher; Carl Herman, public relations man for King's Show. and Howard Jones. the show’s manager . . . and the first port of call was at the candy floss booth where each child received a whopping big ‘cone’ of floss. Next came the ferris~wheel, where the children swung off and up into the bright sunshine un- der a sky of blue â€"â€" and were literally perched atop The Hill. We noticed that the rides were longer â€" and more enjoyable â€"â€" than any such rides we'd viewed before. And thought. that’s the way to treat one‘s guests â€" es- pecially special little guests like these. EVERY SATURDAY NIGHT _' 9.00 pm. 12%.

While the older children (6 to 14 yearsl were enjoying the fer- ris wheel, the nusery tots were whirling away on the ‘junior’ rides. Mrs. Freethy infprmed us that this was the first time the nursery had ever been taken on such an excursion. “But these kind people wanted so much for ALL our kiddies to join in the fun â€" they just scooped them up as they were, from their play- ground at the Home, and here VOLUME LXXXII, NUMBER 4 Orange Home Youngsters Have Fun Authorized Ford, Falcon, Monarch Dealer Willowdale - BA. 5-1151 PARTS and SERVICE 8a.m. till 10 p.m. -FINCH MOTORS LTD.- Coming Events by Mona Robertson they are, having the time of their young lives." However, in order not to break their routine or get them too excited, the lit- tle ones finished off the tour of the Fair early, were each given a big fat bag of caramel popcorn and bundled back to home for their afteynoon Pep. The older' children continued on their rounds, enjoying the calypso-like tunes‘ of the merry- go-round as they dipped and dived on horses, tigers and chick- ens. all shining and brightly painted to create joy. _ They flew on planes, took a go at the tilt-a-whirl, tried out the flying scooter and all the rides â€" while those awaiting their turns enjoyed with the riders the happy excitement. Finally, the show just about over, the kiddies were treated to cold soft drinks and a bag of popcorn, before going back to their pleasant play- ground at the Orange Home to “talk it all over". We were interested to hear that King’s Show goes all over York County during the summer months, performing just such deeds of kindness to youngsters like these. Chatting with Mr. Pit- cher we learned that the proc- eeds of the week-long show is given freely to our local Hos- pital Association Building Fund. And so" it goes in other areas too. For although the Richmond Heights Merchants’ Association sponsored the Richmond Hill Car- nival; in other areas service clubs such as the Lions, the Rotary, the Jaycees, children’s associa- tions, or clubs for the welfare of the crippled or incurable child- ren of the County, work with Mr. Herman in advance of the show’s appearance in town or village to lay out a program for a “bene- fit performance”. All proceeds. above and beyond expenses of every carnival put on by King’s Show, go right into a chari- table fund such as the local hos- pital fund.

Mr. Pitcher said a special word of thanks should be given to John Griffin and Bert Grant and the Merchants’ Association of Richmond Heights . . . and to the people of this district who helped make the Richmond Hill carnival such a rousing success.

For Best Results _In_ Advertising Ford Dealers’ New Car Lot The Ontario Municipal Board public hearing of the Town of Richmond Hill’s application for approval of a capital expenditure of $248,000. for Beverley Acres’ drain- age project will be held Wednesday, August 10th. The hearing will be at the Council Chambers in the Municipal Building, Yonge Street, and all parties interested in sup- porting or opposing the application are invited to attend. The hearing will be open to the public. Designed to eliminate flood conditions in the north east sec- tion of the town, the Beverley Acres drain plan has been for nearly three years a contentious municipal problem. First an- nounced in September 1957 the plan has been long delayed by legal government “red tape" but it is anticipated work on the project will start soon if Ontario Municipal Board approval is giv- en after the August 10th public hearing. ’ Quarter Million Estimate The Richmond Hill application asks approval of a by-law impos- ing sewer rates for payment 01 a portion of the quarter million dollar project. There is a differ- ence of opinion as to how the project shall be paid for, al- though there is quite general a- greement that the construction of some storm sewer system to serve the area is necessary and d sirable. Ontario Municipal Board's Hearing Qf Beverley Acres Drain Prolect August 10th Plan Of Payment May Be Opposed It has been idvocated that the total cost of the drainage plan should be leviedxon the area serv- ed. Others contend that the whole cost should be paid by the town as a whole, and that no partof the expense should be a direct levy on the prppertyrin the area. Town Council proposal which will be submitted to the Ontario Municipal Board on August 10th is that $123,308.69 be paid by a direct levy on the area, and $114, 691.31 paid by a general levy.

In answer to a question put by Councillor Stanley Watson re- garding the building of bleach- ers for the public he said, “not at first". He also told council the Go-Karts were no noisier than motorcycles. The maximum (gov- erned) speed of the Go-Karts is 40 m.p.h. and very safe. Mr. Heather told council he has been operating a Go-Kart track in Whitchurch under a li- cense for some time and no objec- tions or accidents have resulted. Mr. Patterson came forward to say, “They look like a lot of fun. Clean, wholesome fun. I think it is better to have people running an and down fields (Go.

Before the hearing, Clerk Harry Crisp read a by-law approved September, 1953, which prohibited racing cars in Markham Township, after which Reeve William Clark stat- ed, “This is the first application we have had for Go-Karts. It is something new and I think council should take time to investigate it and, if they are favourably inclined to- wards it, the lay-law could be reviewed.” Arrangements will be made for council to see a Go-Kart demon- stration.

Councillor Tom Broad- hurst has voted in council against the by-law levying a portion of the expenditure as a direct levy on the area served.

The town’s proposal is that the sum of $16,706.85 will be im- posed as a sewer rate of $5.00 per foot frontage on properties directly served by the drainage plan, and the sum of $106,601.84 by a sewer rate of $2.00 per foot frontage on property indirectly benefitting from the project.

However, fail- ing that approval. he said the township would undertake to lay in the culvert. Mr. Davis said he paid his Share of the costs last September, and was anxious to see the work finished before winter set in.

He said that different citizens have been complaining that gangs of young boys act in a rowdy manner on the main streets and side streets late in the evening. “The youths apparently hoot and holler and are not beyond handy- ing impolite and insulting te- marks to elders who seek to re- monstrate with them,” Chief Bobbins explained. “Quite often the youths engage in boister- ous wrestling matches and genâ€" erally make themselvel a nuis- Seek Co-operation Public Record Number Calls Rowdylsm August 11 and 12 will feature the Canadian International Glad- iolus Show at the Richmond Hill Arena, sponsored by the Toron- to District Gladiolus Society.
