Heu- Charles Hooper When Buttonville W.I. mem- bers entertained their families and'friends at their annual Famâ€" ily Night. Councillor Charles Hooper was the guest speaker. showing pictures of his recent trip to Russia and giving an in- teresting commentary. Last September Mr. Hooper was one of a party of nine inde- pendent Canadian farmers to visit Russia and some Scandina- vian countries during a brief tour. conducted by Mr. Vaughan Doug- las of the Wingham .TV station and under that station's sponsor~ ship. The pictures shown were of pleasant looking healthy children, rich grain fields; oversized farm equipment and groups of work- ers (mostly women). In comment~ in: on the fact of so many women workers, Mr. Hooper said their explanation was that so many millions of men were lost in the defence of Russia in the second world war. The party was surprised to learn that no one must walk in Red Square. and the'lack of grass anywhere was noted. Buildings were surrounded by concrete or flowers and some very beautiful flower gardens were shown. Mr. Hooper was struck by the marked similarity between Russian and western Canadian country. stat- ing that the trees and weeds were almost identical. A tender for the removal of 100 trees has 'been awarded to the Richmond Tree Service and Forestry Company for the sum of $3,240.00 by Scarboro Township. The local company’s tender was the lowest of 16 quotations re- ceived. ,The high price was for $22,000.00. Forestry Firm Receives Tender Board To Engage New Teacher For Voice Correction Three peracent of the child- ren attending Richmond Hill Pu- blic School had some degree of speech imperfection, it was re- vealed at the last meeting of the public school board. It was decid- ed to advertise for an itinerant auxiliary teacher to help individ- ual children or small groups in speech-correction. The problem in the past had been effectively handled. Super- vising Principal Gordon McIntyre told trustees. as a member of the present teaching staff had been able to give the special training needed. With the departure of that teacher, he recommended the engagement of a qualified person. The importance of early re- medial attention to speech defects was emphasized. with board mem- bers agreeing that the problem. which affects over 100 local pup- ils. should be tackled LIBERAL CLASSIFIEDS GET RESULTS l'. H. LEAF tall“ A few weeks ago some of the executive and members of‘ the Richmond Hill Horticultural Soc- iety sat mulling over a theme for the Annual Spring Fair. After several hit and miss suggestions the idea for an "Early Richmond Hill" theme was born. ’ This small amateur-run [air will be casual and should be a pleasure to attend. Since space is limited and time of the essence (everything must be collected, set up and torn down. by the committee» within twenty-four hours) it can only be presented as a friendly\ homey. scene showing off the kind of household uten- sils and bric a brac used in the early days. Two antique dealers and the curator of pioneer vil- lage have been wonderful ‘in al- lowing their wares to be display- ed.

When the frost “comes out”, as milder temperatures prevail, ground movement will be greater than in other years. The Works Departments of many municipalities have warned of the damage that has already occurred to streets and paving, and that more damage will take place. Repairs to broken roads, water mains, etc., cost thousands of dollars each year and the estimates this year are greater than ever. The many miles of gas mains buried in the ground, as well as sewer networks, hydro conduits and telephone cables have been installed and maintained for years in accordance with the best known engineering and operating practices. All of these facilities will be subjected to pressures and movement as the ground begins to thaw. Where our new gas mains and services have been installed, refilled trenches will likely settle. Any resulting damage to lawns, walks, roads and driveways will be adjusted as quickly as weather permits. Under these abnormal conditions the possibility of natural gas leakage is increased. The Gas Company therefore requests the assistance of all the citizens in the community in guarding against gas leaks that might otherwise go unnoticed. Gas leak detecting crew’s constantly patrol the area, checking streets, utility manholes, sewers and buildings. In addition to this safeguard we ask your co-operation by reporting ANY UNFAMILIAR ODOUR to us promptly. In addition any of the following circumstances should be reported without delay: 1. Any noticeable bubbling in pools of water on the ground and streets. 2. Any odour which has no readily apparent cause, either in buildingsor out of doors. -» Basement floor drains should be cheeked to ensure that they contain water. Sewer gases, natural gas and other combustible fumes can enter homes through basement drains if they are dry. Pour a pail of water' into dry cellar floor drains to fill the water traps and prevent the entry of gases. Your participation in this safety program is appreciated. Please assist us render the best possible service by reporting ANY STRANGE ODOUR us quickly at any time of the day or night. .0.th - ‘0'"--- An effort ’is being made to be a few hours of one day. this sub- as authentic as is possible with ject. can Wily have the surface old store names on placards over the various boothsi Names that so many local people have links with or remember with nostalgia.
