Somet' es. the customer becomes commced the hard way. l was reminded of this recently by an . Incident concerning ;' another dealer in a ' similar town to ours. He was unable to Ilzn I young used . car buyer who was very enthused nbout‘ ~ I plrtlcular car. The M. 3_ Bear car was a popular 1956 model in unbelievably good condition. The price was slightly above market average. but the car‘s condition made it a real buy. The young man was the son of one of the dealer's customers. had started his first job. and was buying his first car. He confided to his dad he wanted to shop in 1 large city. 45 miles away. be~ cause “I think I'll save myself some money." Well, he shopped and bought an “identical' car for $130.00 less money. “Even the mileage is less.” he boasted. (it had been turned back to a fraction of the true figure). He drove it for 27 days before a breakdown reveal- ed a hole in a cylinder wall (tem- porarily plugged). Labor. plus a new engine block. plus what he still owed on finance totalled ab- out DOUBLE the actual value of the cur. When the used car dealer re- fused to pay, he decided to aban- don the car on which he'd paid $375 of an $800 total. An expen- sive lesson may become more ex- pensive still if the deaier's fin- ance company sues him for the balance of his contract. Let's all support the 51h Rich- mond Hill Cub and Scout.

Each year. in co- operation with the Ontario So- ciety for Crippled Children, the Maple Club has launched this campaign. One half of every- thing you give is forwarded to the society, for general work such as more summer camp sites like the now famous Blue Mountain Camp. To visit one of these camps and witness the pleasure the crippled child receives from at- tending is a memorable event. ‘ The nther half remains with Maple Lions Club to administer on behalf of crippled children in our area. Across the years the Vaughan Township Council, at its regular meeting Monday, auth- orized the spending of just under $75,000.00. Biggest item involved $40,359.22 for the construction of the 7th Concession from Number 7 Highway to Hayhoe Avenue. The contract has been awarded to J. K. Beamish Construction Company. Second biggest item. general accounts, took care of $17,725.28 and the next heaviest outlay, to pay road accounts, took up an- other $9,485.98.

Four or five years ago the peop- le of Maple and community were most generous in that out of 209 service clubs participating in On- tario. Maple Lions Club was third in the return per mailing of Eas- ter Seals. ‘The need is as great as ever, in fact even greater to- day. Our local “Timmy” Lisa Boron. asks on behalf of all crip- pled children that you place your contribution in your envelope to- day and return it to Maple Lions Club. Let‘s show these children our generosity is as grand as our community. to pay the police and fire account in the amount of $497.99 while a donation of $10 was made to the Bolton Agricultural Society.

Monday. April 24th. Musical Treat For “Variety Night" Headlining the show will be] the Scarboro Glee Club which each year is growing in popular- ity. having filled 40 singing en~ gagements during the past year; including programs at the Toron- to City Hall for New Citizenship Ceremonies; hospitals. and the Fred Victor Mission.

Admission for Variety Night wll be: Adults $1.00, Children 50c. All proceeds to aid Boys’ Club Work at Richmond Hill United Church. A considerable amount of work has been going on behind the scenes since York County Coun- cil gave its approval last month to financing which will result in extension of the York County Memorial Hospital at Newmarket and‘ the building of a new one- hundred-bed hospital in the sou- thern part of the county. Preliminary Work For New Hospital Progressing Fast Documents in connection with the $2.360,000 debenture issue of York County which will finance the work have been sent to the Ontario Municipal Board. Exploratory work in connection with the site of the southern hospital is going on. Approximat- ely 25 acres will be needed. The architects are well on the way with the drawing of preliminary plans. Medical and surgical ad- visers are busy considering fac- ilities for the new hospital. An important step was taken this week when the Ontario Hos- pital Commission gave the new hospital its backing and blessing. Officially termed “project clear- ance,” this is a prerequisite to approval of the debenture issue by the Ontario Municipal Board. Said Councillor Howard Whil- ilans as planning board members agreed to lthe compromise â€"â€" “We have no alternative under pres~ ent conditions.” Chairman Ross Scrimger agreed. “We could drag our feet but that wouldn't be fair," he declared. Forty feet, it uvas pointed out by the board’s 'consultant, M. Farrow, allowed adequate parking and turning. MARKHAM -â€" On May 7. the Don Valley Conservation Auth- ority will sponsor a train-tour to Lindsay via a ‘northern’ type steam locomotive with four wheel driVes on each side. Prospects for the establishment of a Dairy Queen outlet at the northern end of Richmond Hill brightened this week when the town planning board at its reg- ular meeting decided that if the owner would consent to a 40 foot setback, bringing his establish- ment more nearly into line with other commercial properties, they would agree to the necessary re- adjustment of the land. Dairy Queen Project Setback Now Changed 40 Feet Is Favoured This piece of property. on which a 70 foot setback had or- iginally been demanded by the planning board. sparked the re- cent controversy over setbacks, with proposed amendments being thrown back to the board by town council for further study. February‘s welfare com- mittment by Vaughan Town- ship -- $4,545.37 for 182 per- sons â€" was in sharp con- trast to the outlay of $2,575.- 85 in February. 1960 and its upward spiral pointed up the bleak unemployment picture. These figures, released at Monday’s regular meeting of council. also pointed out that last year in February the winter works program ac- counted for almost half of the $2,575.85, or $1,182.41. Council on Monday author- ized the reeve and treasurer to petition the Provincial De- partment of Welfare for the statutory grant of 80 per cent. Vaughan's February we]- fare expenditure, combined with the upcoming three per cent sales tax to be imposed by the Provincial Govern- ment, rising municipal taxa- tion and the continuing short- age of work indicates that the district’s belt tightening is to continue for some time to come.

Fuucmmeo JACKPOT 55 NUMBERS CALng “Never in our lives will be wit- ness a better example of Indian giving," declared Mayor James Haggart of Richmond Hill this week in a radio address in which he criticized the Ontario Govern- ment for its failure to eliminate the new three per cent sales tax on municipal purchasing. Saying that he was glad to see some relief given to “the poor old property owner" who had borne the brunt of munic- ipal taxation, Richmond Hill’s Mayor at the same time deplor- ed taking 'money from one over- taxed source to be paid to anoth- er level of government in anoth- er form of taxation. Freedom From Sales Taxi Municipal Needâ€"Mayor: At the Ontario Mayors and Reeves Association convention held in Cornwall last year a res- olution sent in by Richmond Hill had been turned down. said Ma- yor Haggart.

Money returned to the municipality in the form of grants was being taken from the municipality first in the form of sales tax, he pointed out. The action taken last week. said the Mayor. “is nothing but a hoax - a deliberate attempt, it would appear. to fool the mun- icipal taxpayer." If the matter comes again be- fore the Mayors and Reeves As- sociation at its London meeting this year. he added. “it is to be hoped that the opinion of the majority will have changed - and if it does I suppose there will be a few red faces." (Provincial Treasurer James Al- lan announced at press time that the sales tax to be paid by the municipalities will be rebated on a wide range of articles. He said the Frost Government will re- fund the tax on capital costs of municipalities and tangible per- sonal property required for such projects.
