Pick- ing of the Yonge Street Busin- ess and Professional Association told “The Liberal” this week. In 1959. he said, the association had purchased permanent strings of lights and had paid for the spec- ial Christmas lighting installa- tion on the United Church spire. In 1960 fourteen spiral light- ing fixtures had peen bought. Over $700.00 had been expended on permanent fixtures in the two years. While this was not a large amount, he said, continuance of a similar policy for a few years would result in a large volume of high-grade decorations being available. So far. said the busin- ess-men’s president, these fix- tures had been paid for by vol- untary contributions made by Yonge Street business men and women. Within a very few years Yonge Street in Richmond Hill will present a Christmas appearance which should make it among the leaders in seasonal decoration in the province. Purchase of the spiral lights this year was the beginning of a unified scheme of decoration, said Col. Picking. New purchas- es every year would, if the pres- ent policy is continued, result in a balanced presentation which could be subject to annual chan- ges ‘but which would, in the long run. eliminate wastage. It was likely, 'he declared, that as plans developed a rose theme, symbolic of Richmond Hill's position in the rose-growing and distributing world, would be in- corporated. Material of a type which would fit into any changes made by the town or by Hydro was being bought, it was said.

Past boards had six mem- bers. The benediction will be given by the Rev. W. W. Patterson of St. Matthew‘s United Church and the inaugural ceremony will be followed by a short business Stars On The Hilltop- Unified Decoration Plan Goal Of Business PeOpIe Richmond Hill was'in an ex- cellent geographical position to stage a fine display of lighting, said Col.

The accident occurred at a- bout 5,45 pm. December 26 at the intersection of Maple Side- road and Dufferin Street. Mr. and Mrs. Lang. son Danny and daughter Marilyn were driving east on the Maple Sideroad when another car, driven by Mr. W. S. Warden of Oak Ridges travelling south on Dufferin Street went out of control on the slippery roadway and slid into the Lang vehicle Mrs. Warden was killed. Most seriously injured of the? Langs was Danny, who suffered; a broken leg and internal injur- ies and will be hospitalized for; another four weeks. Mrs. Lang, (Bertha) spent a week in hospiâ€"| tal recovering from shock. cuts and abrasions. Mr. Lang also re-‘ ceived cuts and bruises and‘ while he was reasonably recov-; ered by New Year's. he lost two weeks work.
