DWARTMENT OF HEALTH TOWNSHIP OF NORTH YORK HAPPY HOLIDAY GREETINGS ALL Chief James Davidson of the Vaughan Township Po- lice was in receipt of a let- ter from Waterford. New York this week which, he said he will treasure. The let- ter was from an American who on a recent visit to the township reported that his wife's purse and other be- longings had gone astray. The police swung into action, found the purse and other ar- ticles and dispatched everyâ€" thing to the United States. Monday after- came the letter of thanks and appreciation and tucked into the envelope was a crisp five dollar bill which will be spent for a treat the officers can share. Said Chief Dav- idson: “Letters more often knock than praise and when we. get one like this we really prize it." The letter was filed in a folder containing a thick wad of 'thank you' notes that have come to the deoartment every now and avain in the past number of years. The local commission did experience a rate increase in 1960 when the province boost- ed the wholesale price of power to a number of On- tario municipalities. The Richmond Hill Hydro- Electric Commission has re- ceived word that there will be. no increase in the whole- sale price of power in 1981. Ontario Hydro has informed the commission Richmond Hill will receive no increase in the coming year. Coupled with our sincerest thanks to the Citizens.

Sunday School Concert The United Church ~Sunday School held their Christmas par- ty on Saturday, December 17, in the church hall with at least 78 children and friends present. It was a busy night for our min- ister Rev. MacDonald who came to Can-ville party early and then went to Thomhill for their child- ren’s party later on that evening. Mr. Bert Middleton, superinten- dent of the Sunday School, wel- comed all who came and then asked Rev. MacDonald to say a few words. The curtains were then drawn and a tableau was enjoyed, “The Christmas Story," Mrs. L. Kirk was narrator for the story. Miss Beverley Bushell was pian- ist and the Carrville Choir sang the carols. Mostly all the child- ren took part in the tableau, Mark Kirk took the part of Jos- eph, Julie Melnic was Mary. and both took their parts very well in fact they all did.

The shep- herds and wisemen were dress- ed in dressing gowns with scarv- es wrapped on their heads, mak- ing it all very nice, and of course following this Santa Claus, kind- 'ness of Ernie Bone, arrived in all his glory and greeted one and all and then gave the children gifts and treats. Cookies and tea were served with the help of some of the ladies of the W. A. bringing a vegv nice Vparty to a close.

The Bings received the happy news the same evening. after they had en- tertained 50 youngsters from the Loyal True Blue and Orange Home at turkey dinner complete with Santa Claus. gifts and silver dollars. "We had just finished cleaning up the downstairs dining room when the Lions called on the phone." Bing said with an ear-to-ear grin. “You always wonder how you will feel when one of the family, or yourselfI wins a draw." he added. “and it's a pretty fine feeling, better than you expect even." For Manager Don Ross of the Bank of Montreal, the win could not have been more timely. Don has a special interest in the chil- dren from the home. He repre- sented his bank at the turkey dinner. and after it was over the 50 youngsters solemnly placed in his care 50 shining silver dollars. Each of the youngsters has a per- sonal account at the bank. The accounts were opened two years ago. For Don. these accounts pro- bably represent 1 very special in- terest. Anyway.

This week the following let- ter was received, indirectly, from a little girl who is still smiling - despite a great deal of pain and sorrow entering her young life. We thought you, our readers, would like to help Rhona keep on smiling â€" and that is why we print the following: It Couldn't Happen To A Nicer Couple! Dear Friends: This is Rhona Mickelson who was six years old last April 25th and my mother is writing this to ask you 11 you would like to send me a card once in awhile. She is getting me a scrapbook and some paste so that I can keep your cards with your name and address. In this way I shall always remember all my friends who did so much to make me h;.ppy and gave me something to do while I was in my cast. In September 1957 the porch roof of our house fell on me and my dolly Lynda. My back was broken and I have never been able to walk without braces since as I am paralyzed from my hips down and have no feeling in my legs. I was in the hospital for two weeks and then went down to the ,Warm Springs Rehab’lita- tion Centre in Gonzales, Texas for over seven months. I was back in the hospital in November 1958 for surgery on both legs for three weeks. Then last April while learning to fall from my wheelchair without my braces the big bone between my knee and hip was broken and I had to enter the hospital again for five days until they had the cast on. They took me out of the east at the end of June but I guess it was too soon as it broke right away and I went back to the hospital the next day for two Lews Win $1375 By Elizabeth Kelson The Canadian National Ballet tried an Early Curtain last year, and the response was so enthusiastic that the company offers two such programmes for the coming season. The Canadian National Ballet Guild would like readers of “The Liberal” to know that these are their performances which will present the most popular bal- lets in the company’s repertoire, as well as the finest stars of the National Ballet. The Early Curtain perform- ances provide a convenient opportunity for people living outside of Toronto to attend ballet and still arrive home at a reasonable hour. The-aim of the Canadian National Ballet is to sell out these special 7 pm. performances to the people in the outlying districts, for whom they are planned, rather than have them sold at the box office to Torontonians who always fill the theatre when Smith and Adams are dancing Swan Lake and the Nutcracker Suite. The story of Swan Lake is based on one of the oldest and most well-known legends in the world of myth- ology . . . that of the enchanted maidens who change to swans by day but can be seen dancing in the forests at night in human form. Their only hope of release is that some mortal will swear undying devotion to their gentle Queen Odette. Lois Smith is a superbe Odette and David Adams is the incomparable Prince Siegfried. It is a wonderful stor'y interpreted by ballet, full of poetic movement and fire. Nutcracker Suite is the story of a little girl named Clara who has been given a doll in the shape of a nut- cracker. After bedtime, Clara creeps downstairs at mid- night (which everyone knows is a magical hour), to seek her new toy. She is frightened by the sudden appearance of the King of Mice, but the Nutcracker doll comes to life in order to protect her. The story that follows is exciting. There is a fierce battle between Nutcracker's Gingerbread Men and Toy Soldiers of the Mouse King. There are exciting characters like the Snow Queen and the Sugar Plum Fary. This is an unforgettable ballet. These then are the two famous ballets selected for these special 7 pm. performances: Swan Lake on Feb- rary 20 and the Nutcracker on February 27, for its com- ing season at the pral Alexandra :I‘heatre. a i'l‘iircrkets range from $3.50 (Orchestra and Front Bal- cony) to $1.50 (Gallery). Cheques are to be made pay- able to the Royal Alexandra Theatre, Toronto, and must be accompanied by a stamped. self-addressed envelope. Make the Early Curtain Performance YOUR night for the ballet.

[2 But perhaps the one thing that pleased the Lew: more than even winning the money was the wide- spread reaction among the public to the dinner and the win. Said the Lews: “During the last week people have been telephoning from all over to express their de- light at the happiness we were able to provide the youngsters. and to congratulate us on win- ning the money. It's been quite inspiring." Incidentally, in last week’s story about the Lews’ dinner for the youngsters it was stated that Santa Claus said that because of the rush of unfinished business waiting him he would be unable to pay a call on a local citizen who was said to bear a strong resemblance to him. Santa said he heard the man's name was Wil- fred Watson, but later he cor- rected this by special message. The name, he said, is Wilfred Mortson. It is understood that Mr. Mortson, who has often doubled for St. Nick when simultaneous multiple appearances faced the jolly old gent, says that he‘ll probably have the pleasure again. ence there about the youngsters and the Lews. Then came the draws! A coincidence worth mentlon- ing is that Mrs. Wilfred Mortson, helped the Lews put aside silver dollars for the youngsters from the home. weeks. Now I have to have a cast on until the end of Septem- ber at least. As this cast goes from my waist to my toes I can- not sit up and can only lie down all day and night either on my tummy or on _my back. _ ".‘he thing I love most is to get mail, so would you please write me or send me a card once in awhile? I may not be able to let you know I received them right away, as my mother is kept pret- ty busy looking after us three children, keeping house and car- ing for me. However, if you will please be sure to let me have your full name and address, I shall try and send you a card at Christmas. ‘vnu Au u...“ My mother was Winnie Gill- ings who lived in Richmond Hill until the death of her father in 1935.
