Spot flying is one way in which a pilot’s ability is tested. other competitions include bombing'contests, where bags of flour are dropped from an air craft to a designated point on the ground. Local aircraft pilots tested their ability in a precision fly- lng contest at Buttonville air- port iast Sunday. The contest was promoted by the airport to give local fb'ers some practice, in preparation for an all-On- tario competition to be held early in 1962. The contest was a spot-flying competition in which the pilot cuts his engine at 1000 feet and attempts to land on the runway. Each competitor lands three times and tries to land within the same distance on each attempt. Etages. 7the exterior of your -‘7~home.

One of the latest develop- ments took place recentw when Russell Tilt, chairman of the Parks Board, with Secretary Norm. Brown. visited the plan- ning board during its regular weekly session.

Miss Sharon Manuel was her sister's only attendant. She wore a peacock blue jersey dress with matching whimsy veil hat. Her flowers were pink and white carnations. Given in marriage by her father. the bride wore a ball- erina length dress of silk organ- Ia and lace. Her fingertip veil was held in place by a coronet of sequins and seed pearls. She carried a cascade of talisman roses and white carnatinns.

In this case it is easy to place ever- green boughs under the cornice on the porch roof, and entwine‘ them with strings of outdoor sparkle lights. to give a bright, gay appearance. or the softer glow lights, for a quieter effect. And if you are lucky enough to have two evergreen trees flank- ing the porch steps, or your front door, they can conceal two floodlights. one on either side, that throw their beams upward to bathe the entire entrance area in an interesting pattern of light and shadow. The trees could also be decorated with strings of outdoor sparkle (which have. a clear glass) or glow lights (which have an opasue glass) to add to the beauty of the door- iynda C. Manuel Bride D.

Use floodlight kits thah include a weatherproof 100- or 150-watt lamp, a holder designed to permit either ground or rais- ed mounting, and weatherproof cord and connectors. You can choose lamps in clear glass, or in blue, green, red, yellow or pink. depending on the effect you wish to create. The traditional Christmas wreath hung on the front door will always be in style, for it is one of the most widely used sy- mbols of Christmas hospitality.

If a fuse blows, replace it with a new one of the same amperage, usually ‘15 amperes. and reduce the load by disconnecting some of the appliances and lights in the house that are on the same cir- cuit. Never use substitute ma- terials for fuses. Basement or attic circuits are the best sources for outdoor lighting circuits, since they are not normally in use as much as the living areas of your home. Many new homes have a special exterior circuit installed which brings conven- ient power to an outdoor Christ- mas display, summer lawn par- ty decorations. and to operate power garden tools. Above all. have lots of fun in decorating this year. Remember that it's best to start early to plan your Christmas decorations. Christmas time is also a time for common sense in using elec- tricity outdoors. It is perfectly safe, but some simple precau- tions will not detract one bit from the pleasure of creating a beautiful decorative effect for your home. Be sure that your strings and sockets are made in Canada. to the safety standards of the Canadian Standards As- sociation, expressly for outdoor use. Sockets should be all plas- tic. with plastic clips to ensure‘ a firm attachment to evergreen bughts and other material. If exposed to precipitation. sockets should be positioned so that the ‘lights will hang downwards so that water or snow won’t collect in them. Connections between strings should either be taped with waterproof tape, or hung in such a way that water cannot seep in.

Candles Easy To Make After allowing an estimated grant of $75,000 from the Department of Highways, the es- timated annual cost of the storm sewer project is $26,087, which includes interest, debt retirement, operating cost and reserve for renewals, replacements and contingencies. It is proposed to raise the sum of $15,180 by a frontage rate of 60c per ft.; $3,020 by a connection charge of $7.55, and $7,887 by a special levy of approximately 7 mills on the storm sewer area. On the basis of these levies a house on a 60’ lot assessed for a total of $2,500 would pay annually the following amounts: STORM SEWERS Yonge Street Yonge Street Yonge Street Yonge Street Easement 320' N. of N.S.L. of Clark Avenue Steeles Avenue Highland Park Blvd. Woodward Avenue Woodward Avenue Woodward Avenue Grandview Avenue Meadowview Avenue N.

Street Street Street Street The rehearsal brought the 1961 season to a close, ten week- ly rehearsals having been held. Sunday's presentation saw thir- ty musicians turn out â€"â€" a num- ber which enables presentation of major works. At its Sunday performance the orchestra played five com- positions under the leadership of Conductor Arthur Burgin. Considering the fact that the group had never played these through previously without a stop the rendition was extremely satisfactory, said Mr. W. R. Stephens, one of the founders of the orchestra. On Monday, December 18th, an interesting experiment in city commuting started operation. A 14-passenger Mercedes-Benz vehicle started from Newmar- ket at 6.55 am. on its way to Toronto via Aurora and Rich- mond Hill. Passengers were members of a private club, the Aurora-Newmarket Commuters' Club, and instead of having to face “the battle of Yonge St.” in their own vehicle, they step- ped into a comfortable reserved seat, listen to FM radio, read magazines provided by the club. The idea originated from Richard Gibb of Aurora and the operation is being carried out by George Butterfield and Anne Hicks. Membership in this club is available to Richmond Hill citizens who will be able to board the Mercedes-Benz at 7.20 am. and be in downtown Tor- onto at 8.10 am. with no chang- es and no stops. "Maybe thigh a new era in commuting! “Absoluter free membership â€"- from December 18th to Jan- uary 15th â€" with no strings at- tached" is the offer made by the Aurora-Newmarket Commuters Cl b. in order to show residents of 1these areas just how comfort- able commuting can be. Richmond Hill's recently- formed symphony orchestra held v its first public rehearsal last . Sunday in the auditorium of the ‘ public library. with a moderate- ‘ ly good attendance of citizens present. The performance was the initial one of what is hoped ‘to be a succession. designed to give local musicians an oppor- tunity to play before an audi- ence and to generate interest among young people in “live” orchestral performances. _ Commuters Club 60’ Frontage @ 60c Service Connection @ $7.55 Sewer Area Levy 7 Mills Symphony Group'W Seen In Public?

At the begin- ning of 1962. when our new branch of the Red Cross opens, we will have one more. Some of these annual appeals overlap.
