8 THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday, January 26, 1961 Plans are also in the making [or a Father and Son banquet, which will take place early in February. The Mothers Auxiliary are looking after all the details and as soon as plans are com- pleted. I will pass on the infor-. mation. At present all I can say for sure is that the “toastmaster” for the evening is to be Mr. George Crittenden who has a son 1n the movement and is himself a member of the Group Committee and is incidently our local police constable. Each year the Summit District of the Boy Scout Association puts on a display of talent and hobbies at which each group in the district is asked to send a rep- resentative. To this “Gang Show" as it is called Oak Ridges Scout Troup will send eight boys to represent us. This year it is be- ing held in Thornhill at the High School. Dates are April 6, 7 and 8th and admission has been set at $1.00. Hockey In Town Well. its official, 'The first Oak Ridges Cub Pack, by the time you read this will have been split in two. Until the new gymnasium at the Oak Ridges Public School is ready for use Mrs. Ellen Davis and the A Pack will meet for a few weeks at the Legion store. while I will take over the B Pack on a tem- porary basis until the new Akela (Mrs. Barbara Wilson, we hope) gets her footing and can handle things at Lake Wilcox School. At the time of this printing the first meeting after the split is due to take place on Tuesday, Feb- ruary the 7th. The A Pack meet- ing at the store at 7.15 and the B Pack meeting after school from 3.45 till 5 o'clock. More details next week as plans are completed. Arrangements for the above have been handled in a very capable and efficient man- her by the newly formed group committee, who by the way could use the support of all the fathers. This is the season for hockey and there are several teams in this area in different competi- tions. Oak Ridges Public School has a. newly formed team, coa- ched by the Grade Seven tea- cher. Mr. Jack Williams. In one of their first, (if not the first) games last week they trounced a team from Newmarket to the tune of 4-2. Harry Crittenden, Paul Fuller, Herbie Van Dyke and Ross Irvin chalked up the markers for Oak Ridges there- fore receiving the credit for the victory although the team as a whole is to be congratulated for their efforts. The team had just been together approximately one week before the game. “The Liberal" just may not be the same any more after thir- ty “Brownies” descended upon them from the First Lake Wilcox Brownie Pack last Thursday. Full of excitement and natural in- quisitiveness they fired question after question at our kind and pa- tient guide Mr. Ross Breuls, who courteously answered each one and explained the “workings of the newpaper" in detail. It was certainly a most interesting and educational meeting for the girls as well as their leaders Mrs. Jean Ash. Mrs. Jean Osborne. Mrs. Bob Wilson and myself and well worth the trip, despite the fact that thirty Brownies and four leaders squashed into a‘60 Ford Station wagon and a ‘55 Chev. car and certainly a large vote of thanks is extended to the staff of the Liberal for allowing us to visit them. Cub Capers Brownie News St. Pauls United Church Sigma C Boys club have also formed a team for floor hockey and un- der the direction of their coach, Reverend Gord Winch unfortun- ately came out second best in their bout with an out of town team. Second best, maybe, but in the eyes of the true sports- man, they had it all over the other team in regards to sports- manship and fair play.

In response to many requests from local mothers and fathers who are anxious to see their aspiring “hockey greats” get their just and due recogni- tion I have finally managed to corner an official for the re- sults, but before We get down to business let me unfold the tale of the personal endUrances I have suffered to get this news. Last Sunday afternoon the Charuk family “en masse” de- scended upon the Aurora Arena, Sandra, 8, John 9, with skates in hand and even young Mark 3 bob skates and all even father (and I won‘t mention ages in the next two cases) borrowed a pair of skates and all aimed at an afternoon of recreation and family fun. Mother armed with notebook and pencils went with another purpose in mind. After speaking to many people. I was able to find the man “in the know” and the information I sought. Then came nearly an hour and a half of sitting on the benches forming a one man cheering section as the rest of the family whizzed, stumbled, zoomed or staggered by but each time noticeably enjoying the whole thing. After a pair of frozen feet, a hoarse voice from shouting encouragement to the beginners I decided that next week we will present a united front. Thanks to the timely che- que from the Liberal, father now does not need to borrow skates and Mom has a pair too. Next week this column might be writ- ten from a bed in Newmarket Hospital but I guarantee I will have those hockey recaps or come apart at the seams trying. Now down to facts. Aurora Minor Hockey Association }:ouse League Peewee Competi- ton The Leafs trounced the Ran- gers in a 5-2 match with Robert Gibbons and Ron Lahey each beating the neb-miuder twice. Doug Johnston capped the other marker. In the Ranger team. Ron Laing and Larry Warner received the goals. and younger in most cases than players on the opposing team, they refused to give in and game- ly took all the bumps and hard knocks that were dished out. One boy received a bleeding nose before the game was thirty 3e~ conds old for example. Sixteen penalties were levied by referees and only two went to the Oak Ridges team as further proof. Reverend Winch was most an- noyed and stated that “there was no need for that rough stuff." The starting line of Barry Bing- ham, Norman Wardrop and Terâ€" ry Crittenden with Norman and Terry both scoring in the 6-2 de- feat, Abbie Barnsdale. co-cap- tain Larry Crittenden and Peter Howard formed another line while Ross Irvine tended the nets. Ricky Surray was captain. Ross played a standout game in goal and was credited with keeping the score as low as it was under such unscrupulous odds. The Canadians edged Davis and Days 3-2 with Carl Fleet’s two goals and Peter Alcorn's on leading their team to glory. Spencer Natalie and Dave Johns each scored for Davis and Day. U.P.W.A. defeated Thompson's 7-3 when John Jansen scored the “hat-trick.” Paul Graham chalked up two and Larry Crit- tenden and Mike Tilson each got one. Terry Hadfield led Sy’s Res- taurant to victory after some brilliant net work when Sy’s whipped the Bruins 2-0. Doug Daken and Loring Doolittle ob- tained the markers.

On hand to wel- come those who turned out was President Mr. Joe Gibbs who an- nounced Monday, February 6th will mark their annual meeting at Lake Wilcox School at 8 pm. when election of officers will take place. Meanwhile a group of Home owners from the south area of Lake Wilcox-Oak Ridges have formed an association which is meant not to undermine in any way or object to existing ratepay- er organizations but was founded to deal with problems peculiar to that area and to join other as- sociations in presenting a united front when dealing before coun- cil on all local problems. Mr. Mason announced a contest which will be open to every child in the whole district of North York up to the age of 16 to put forth their ideas on what an animal shelter should be like. They should also submit along with these ideas a floor plan. Mr. Mason hoped that all the news- papers in this district would get behind this project and make sure each school age boy and girl knows of its existence. Prizes will be awarded and the winners entry will be taken into consid- eration by the architect when plans are made. Contest closes April 30th.

Peoples Church I Ab’out People Friends and neighbours were all happy to see Mr. Frank War- den of Aubrey Ave., Oak Ridges feeling some better and his e1- der son Teddy return home re- cently after the accident recently that claimed the life of his wife, Edna, and hospitalized him for some time. Mr. Warden’s mo- ther will keep house for them and the younger boys will be brought home soon. We were all sorry to hear that Cragg’s Store was recently robbed of $40.00. Happening just before closing time last Monday unfortunately the thief wasn’t. caught. Mr. and Mrs. Don Barraclough of Maple Grove, Oak Ridges re- cently spent a short vacation in Ottawa. Lots of Birthdays Rodger, 14 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. William Orton, Aubrey Ave., Oak Ridges played host to several pals last week when he celebrated his birthday with a skating party on the pond at the rear of his home. Besides broth- ers Richard and Bobby his guests were. Barry Bingham. Phil Lac- ey, Gord Rowe J11, Gord Muir. Jimmy Moore and Lawrence Bremner. After skating until quite late the group went indoors for refreshments. Larry, 8 year old son of Mr. & Mrs. B.

Treated by Dr. Rose of Aurora she now sports a tiny cast for a few weeks to aid her recovery. Weekend guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Killick, Bayview Ave. Lake Wilcox were Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Kornetz and daughter Laurie Ann of George- town. Peace and quiet reigned su- preme at the Charuk home last weekend as Sandra, Johnny and Mark went off to spend a week- end with Nanna, Mrs. Lillian Robertson and Uncles Alex and Ray in Willowdale. From Fri- day night till Sunday morning the quietness was almost un- bearable but it sure gave mom and pop a welcome rest and a pleasant change. One of King City’s older or- ganizations, 40-year-old Lake Marie and King Athletic Assoc- iation, has elected Harry Ballard as its 1961 President. Others on the executive are former President Mr. Ronald Robson, as first vice-president; Ray Rumney. second vice-presi- dent; Warren McKendry, treasur- er; and Bill Long, secretary. H. Ballard Pres.

Eighteen representatives of King City groups looked into the formation of a Safety Council. by accepting the invitation of Village Trustees to hear an On- tario Safety officer explain its film‘pose and advantages. In Eva L. Dennis School sen- ior classroom, village secretary Mr. G. T. Thompson opened the meeting he had arranged and called upon those present to ap- point their own chairman. Reeve Wm. Hodgson Recommends'JNatAfi School Patrols At Safety Mnet‘igiegye; uddn ( Incoming trustee. Donald M. Findlay accepted then introduced Louis ‘Hodgson, a safety promo- tion officer for the Department of Transport. “A great job can be done by groups already organized. We hope each organization will elect a safety committee as part of its group, then undertake and de- velop some program that affects a certain segment of the com- munity.” said Mr. Hodgson. He gave as an example local water dangers in Spring and suggested the Home ‘and School Association could publicize and possibly avoid accidents. Noting many vehicles on the highway were found to be in un~ safe condition, the speaker said a garagemen’s or local associa- tion could promote the voluntary check-up of vehicles by drivers. A voluntary check on Highway 401 showed more than 50 per cent vehicles were unsafe, with defects that could be the direct cause of accidents or could in- crease the severity of damage if involved in an accident. Mr. Hodgson explained traffic safety is part of the health pro- gram taught in schools and po- lice officers usually visit the schools. He said, “Some-times the parents are not setting examples of safety. Some group, such as a women’s club, might undertake teaching parents public safety." Relief costs for the year 1959 totalled $26,948.21 gross, before 80 per cent government subsidy, Mr. Russell told The Liberal. “In essence, we Eire not setting up a new organization. Primarily the job" for the Safety Council King Township‘s relief picture now is almost the same as it was a year ago, according to Welfare Officer, Constable Harold Rus- sell. Welfare costs for January this year, without any winter works projects, about equal relief ex- penses of January, 1959. when some winter work was included. Mr. Russell thinks it likely the township is now meeting the peak demand, with 46 'relief cases. Of that number, 18 are unemployable, men who can’t work, single women not old enough for pension, and two wo- men deserted by their husbands. The remaining 28 family heads receiving aid are employable and 15 .of them are eligible for un- employment, insurance. Depend- ing upon circumstances, when in- surance benefits start, the fami- lies may need supplementary as- sistance fron} township. “We would like to'find work for the 13 unemployed bread- winners not eligible' for unem- ployment benefits,” said Mr. Russell. King TWp's Reliei Steady $27,000 Last year March was the peak month for relief demands. "Not much improvement before April” is the outlook. 'The Athletic Club holds a deed for the_park grounds, which are well used for community activi- ties. Last summer saw the forma- tion of the young married wo- men’s volleyball club, which prac- tised in the barn. Currently the public enjoys skating and hockey periods at the’ central park. Mr. Frank Killick of Bay- view Ave., Lake Wilcox, a truck driver for Canada Packers Ltd., had an invis- ible “Co-pilot" on his rounds last Thursday in the per- son ofi“Lady Luck.” Loaded to the limit with fowl for delivery to the stores, Mr. Killick had just pulled back into the right lane after passing on the 401 around 9 a.m. in the mor- ning when his right front wheel and truck parted com- pany, in the general vicinity of Leslie Street. Travelling at approximate speed of 45 m.p.h. the heavy load caused the truck to skid, it is figured about 400 yard; after the brakes failed. Mr. Killick said, “I just held on to that wheel for dear life 8: braced my feet on the floor until I was almost standing straight up. Suddenly the truck went up on the em- bankment and then started to roll. That’s when I went to sleep and I awoke in the afternoon in North Western General Hospital with no apparent injuries other than my wrists." These were light- ly bandaged and had ap- parently been scraped during his fight with the wheel for control of the vehicle Mr. Killick considers him- self extremely lucky for an accident of this nature couid have resulted in serious in- jury to himself and others Needless to say the truck did not fare as well and the stores had to wait for their chickens. Mr. Killjck was released later that afternoon from the hospital and allowâ€" ed to return home. Driver’s ‘Co-Pilot’ Saves Him From Injury will be done for the individual club." Mr. Hodgson reminded where one person was a member of several clubs. there was a tendancy to have him as the single representative to the Safety Council. “The idea is broader participation. with as many people as possible meeting once a month or as often as it suits the community, to discuss problems that should be at- tacked.” Share for 20 Groups of what followed. the Depart- ment of Transport safety kit could be seen at the Village Office. Others attending the prelimin- ary meeting were: Mr. Robert Walker. Mr. John Jenkins, Mr. Raymond Burt. Constable John Hughes. Mr. George Cruickshank, Mr. Ralph Loney, Mr. Harry Lacey, Mr. William Willoughby. Mr. Donald McCallum. Mrs. Eric Johnston. Mrs. Laura Rolling and .Mrs. William Houston. Fire Chief Mr. David Glas showed the safety film, “Th Broken Doll.” explaining how a council was formed in the mythi- lcal village of Springvale. Actual photography had been done in Markham village. Thanking the speaker, Chair- man Mr. Findlay said regardless He estimated there were 20 village organizations which could divide a large program into small parts, each group undertaking a part. That plan was "basic". he considered. “There is a definite need for a Safety Council," Mr. Hodgson advised. “I hope a Safety Council can have a well-rounded program, possibly including water safety, fire prevention, control of acci- dents in industry and in homes," he said. mentioning the Farm Safety Council of York County. which has headquarters in New- market. He explained the Department of Transport published consider- able material, such as a program for winter driving; for the clergy, suggesting teaching people to drive by the Golden Rule; check- ing of cars, and vacation driving. “All our services are available to any one in the community, especially a “ Safety Council. There is a program for teachers: For 80 cents a month schools can be provided with posters and information. There is guidance in safety patrol child crossings. Perhaps the new high school will develop a program of young people driving under good in- struction. Sixty per cent of high schools in Ontario are offering safe driving programs,” he re- vealed. Mr. Findlay asked what level of population in towns and villages had Safety Councils. Mr. Hodgson answered, “It varies. There’s a Metro Safety Council. Most are around 10,000.” The speaker went on to com- ment on the local railway cross- ing. “The CNR has police and they will spend a good deal of time with any who invite them in." Mr. Wilfred Angliss was inter- ested in the safety inspection of vehicles. Mr. Hodgson explained this could be done on a voluntary basis. “It requires a few people used to working with vehicles. Then if the driver is in doubt he can go to a garage.” Organizing in York The speaker estimated there were 82 such councils in Ontario and noted many were under for mation in York County. Asked about a membership fee, he said there wasn’t any, but that could be left to the clubs to decide. Mr. Ron Keller of Valentine Acres’ Ratepayers’ Association considered, “It’s a good idea to have Trustees guide this, rather than let it die out.” Asked if he knew of any vil- lage of similar size with as many traffic hazards, Mr. Hodgson said Goldwater was comparable. Mr. Findlay pointed out, “Goldwater with slightly over half this popu- lation has a Safety Council.” Asked the pros and cons of school patrols, Mr. Hodgson ad- mitted opinion was more against than for. Then he stressed all the advantages. Pupils from Grades 7 and 8 worked in pairs as a patrol and did not leave the curb when signalling from each side of the road when it was safe for school children to cross. Mr. Thompson noted the school population had doubled recently and said the crossing guard was part of the village police depart- ment. “School patrols were organized in 1929 and have a wonderful record. There has never been an accident in 30 years with child safety officers,” Mr. Hodgson said. He praised the way young- sters responded to the responsi- bility and recommended patrols as an excellent practical way of carrying out safety measures learned in the classroom. ardous', yet will continue to send children across unprotected," he reported. “If the crossing is that dangerous p e r h a p 5 children should be reâ€"routed to cross else- where, or there should be traffic lights or an adult guard." Patrols Insured Mr. Findlay commented, “We don‘t want to dominate it.” The Safety Officer explained present school insurance could be extended, at no extra cost, to include child patrols but not adults. He said patrols could not operate on all roads because chil- dren have no authority to stop traffic and must wait for safe gaps in traffic. Children crossing are still responsible for their own safety. Mr. Hodgson strongly recom- mended school patrols and offer- ed, “I’ll come up and help you set them up.” He said they had. been functioning in the U. S. since 1915. Mr. Angliss agreed, “I would like to see them in- stituted here after seeing them in Pennsylvania." When the next session was set for Monday, February 20, at 8 pm. in Eva L. Dennis School, School Board Chairman Mr. Gor- don Tetley asked Trustees to re- mind all organizations. “Groups missing tonight are not necessar- ily not interested.” The speaker said usually there was no attempt to organize a Council at the preliminary meetâ€" ing, but if clubs wished to par- ticipate they could form a Coun- cil at a further meeting. Others attending the prelimin- ary meeting were: Mr. Robert Walker. Mr. John Jenkins, Mr. Raymond Burt. Constable John Hughes. Mr. George Cruickshank, Mr. Ralph Loney, Mr. Harry Lacey, Mr. William Willoughby. Mr. Donald McCallum. Mrs. Eric Johnston. Mrs. Laura Rolling and lMrs. William Houston. Name Commissioners Mr. Ronald Bolton was re- named Chairman of King City Village Trustees at 1961's open- ing meeting in the Fire Hall. Commissioner of Fire and Water for the past four years, Mr. Bolton was appointed Com- missioner of Public Utilities. Mr. Donald M. Findlay under- took a new post in the village administration, Public Protection Commissioner. Beginning his first term, Mr. Robert O'Reilly was given the job of Roads Commis- sioner. Trustees decided to write the ONE. to obtain information about the railway's immediate and future plans for the track running through King City. They were interested in future plans involving the double level cross- mg. Among those attending open- ing formalities were Reeve Ken- neth Wagg from S‘oufl‘ville, King Township Deputy Reeve Mr. Nor- man MacMurchy, Township Coun- cillors Mr. Gordon Cook, Mr. Blyth Langdon and Mr. Jack Rouble, and King City's retiring Trustee, Mrs. Mary Scott. Following business, refresh- ments were served by members of King City Fireman’s Women’s Association, Mrs. George Mc- Donald, Mrs. John Monkman, Mrs. Donald McCallum and Mrs. Len Robb.
