Well, the big 275 horsepower, 12 cylinder LaFrance aerial truck. ladder will pull its tre- mendous load at 92 miles per hour. Most newer models, how- ever, have a governor on them limiting speed to 65. Red is the most popular color for - fire engines. of course, but a lot -- of other shades are used. too, for cities that want some- thing different. White is the sem‘ ond most popular color. then green. M-R-Be“ LaFrance has also made fire trucks in black, blue, chocolate and elegant gold. And there was one famous truck that was or- dered in a shade of lilac (must have been a female majority on THAT town council). The world’s largest fire en- gine factory. as you might imagine. uses a lot of red paint. About 6,000 gallons of it are delivered every year to the American LaFrance Co. at El- mira, N.Y., which must be a wonderful place for goggle- eyed boys. It's the factory that turns out almost half of the 1,200 lire engines made annually in the United States. Fire engines are durable piec- es of machinery that are main- tained in top condition. La- France estimates that at least 15,000 of its 20,003 motor-driven fire trucks are still in use. It made its first gasoline fire truck in 1910 and it’s still in service. Used car buyers are always prepared to pay premium prices for cars in “fire engine" shape. That's why care and conscien- tious servicing of your car will pay you back in superior re-sale value as well as “fire engine" performance. FEBRUARY 1 FEBRUARY 3 â€" Saturday 2-4 pm.

He would certainly not attend a school board meeting until the police committee had met and considered the complaint.

Said Deputy Reeve Tom Broadhurst - “In sending §uch a letter to council the school board has set relations back two years. This is a command thinly disguised__as a 1_‘equest." The other ‘ education matter was sparked by a letter from the County and Municipal Councils’ Section of the Ontario School Trustees and Ratepayers‘ As- sociation. It pointed out that, because of the large proportion of the taxpayer dollar spent on education, much more attentiun should be given by municipal councils to the complex proh- lem. Theme for the annual Eas- ter convention in Toronto. it was said, would be “The place of municipal administration in ed- ucation.” “Education takes sixty per cent of our tax dollar," said Mayor James Haggart. He felt that council should send a dele- gate to the convention. Coun~ cillors agreed, naming Reeve ‘Floyd Perkins. FEBRUARY 14 â€" Wednesday.

(Continued from page 1) Regan said that the Royal York, with an ability to accommodate up to nearly ten thousand people at conventions, only had 1,200 rooms. He thought the same comparable situation would ap- ply in Richmond Hill, where people would come from a con- ;siderable area, including Toron- :to. Council Annoyed At School Board Letter On Police Mrs. Southwell was also crit- ical of the licence proposal. “We were told years ago we would not be asked for any-thing else," she said, referring to a previous vote which saw a brewers retail store and liquor store establish- ed. “They got the wedge in. It’s too bad we have to depend on assessment,” she declared. Others In Favour Vote On licences For Hotel 6 Tel LIMITED :lhluhu c3w30 ‘ “Because so many women have volunteered their services for the one-hour Mothers‘ March on Monday night. I am certain that this year’s drive will be a tremendous success," said Mrs. Norman Todd, general chairman for Richmond Hill in a state- ment issued this week. It’s a question whether some- body isn‘t “salting” an oil-well on No. 11 Highway south of Richmond Hill at 16th Avenue. If so. they have a winner, for the “well” is producing already refined gasoline. But, jokes to one side, it’s a well which is producing headaches for Dusan M‘ikelas. Markham Township’s engineer. for there are danger- ous implications. “The response of the women of Richmond Hill and surround- ing districts has been truly gratifying," Mrs. Todd contin- ued. “If the rest of the com- munity shows a similar gener- ous response when the mothers call at their doors, the 1962 cam- paign of the March of Dimes will surely achieve its objective: I wish to offer my personal thanks to all who have agreed to help in this most worthy cause." She added that the target sum for the March of Dimes cam- paign in Ontario is $650,000. Explaining the importance of this annual campaign of the March of Dimes, Mrs. Todd commented that helping the dis- abled to a new life of usefulness and achievement is not “a one shot affair.” Mr. Mikelas has written to the Ontario Fire Marshal’s ofâ€" fice asking aid in solving a mys- tery which could be harmful to area residents. As a matter of fact. it has already been a threat to a construction worker. Gasoline ,In Ground Bad Problem At No. II Highway Intersection Money collected through the Mothers’ March of the March of Dimes is used to provide re- habilitation services for handi- capped adults throughout 0n- tario. It is administered by the Rehabilitation Foundation for “Rather,” she said, “it is a continuing process which vitally needs continuing public support. This year we are one of nearly 300 Ontario communities taking part in March of Dimes Month. That is why I am asking the full co-operation of everyone in our community.” Mayor Haggai-t said that the town was badly in need of the facilities which the proposed hotel would provide. One indus- trialist had told him. he said, that, “we had better smarten up." This industrialist said that he was tired of having to take people down town in order to look after them properly. Procedure Explained Support March Of Dimes Drive Planned For Next Monday Night Other members of town coun- cil were strongly in favour of the hotel and the granting of li- cences. Declaring himself in fa- vour, Reeve Floyd Perkins felt that the projectors should pay for the vote. “I would not want to see taxpayers paying for it." he declared. It was good for the town, said Deputy-reeve Tom Broadhurst. “I don't see how anyone can deny the right of the people to give an opinion.” he asserted. “People would think these were fine and reasonable facilities it they were in Toron- to,” he declared. Councillor A1. White said that he “was glad of the opportunity to help the town along". Flowing Four Years In response to questions, Mr. Regan and Mr. Portway said that they were definitely not in- terested in beverage rooms. He pointed out that the municipal- ity receives 20 per cent of the gallonage and other taxes. In gold-mining’s early and less inhibited days there used to be a practice known as “salting”. Individ- uals with a claim which hadn’t paid off as far as they were personally concerned used to obtain a quantity of high-grade ore, “salting” it in the ground and leading unsuspecting tenderfeet to believe that they had stum- bled on a paying mine which, of course could be had for a price from the title-holders. The request for a vote would1 go to the Liquor Control Board of Ontario, he said. The necess- ary by-law would then be drawn up by that body. Sixty days had to elapse after final passing of the by-law before the vote was taken. He estimated that it would take three months to complete the necessary arrange- ments with the L.C.B.O. Asked how long it would take‘ before the hotel became an ac- tuality, if voters approved of the necessary licences, he said, “Roughly about a year." The questions which would be submitted to Richmond Hill vot- ers would he: “Are you in favour of the sale of beer and wine only un- der 3 dining room license for consumption with meals on li- censed premises?" censed premises?" “Are you in favour of the sale of liquor under a dining lounge licence for consumption with meals on licensed premises?” “Are you in favour of the sale of liquor under a lounge licence for consumption on licensed premises?” The “well” was first discov- ered in 1958. At that time gas- oline was found in a well on the property of Lloyd McIntee, lot 6 on 16th Avenue. It floated on top of the water, with the intake pipe drawing "easonably pure water from lower in the well. Tests were taken then but the source of supply could not be traced. Lately constructon workers have been driving a water main under Yonge Street at the Yonge-16th Avenue intersection, connecting Vaughan and Mark- ham Townships. This time, gas- oline has been evident in much greater quantities. At some the Disabled - one of Canada's outstanding voluntary organiza- tions in the health field. Accident, disease and illness know no favourites, and thous- ands of young adults in Ontario are gravely handicapped. Their numbers are increasing daily despite the wonderful advances of medicine and surgery, W Yet the problem of disability concerns not only our doctors and nurses. It is a matter of deep concern to all of us, for it involves the whole community. Furthermore many can be help- ed to regain independence, and, in fact, many are being helped by the rehabilitation foundation for the disabled. Broadly speaking, the foun- dation‘s work maybe divided in- to four areas: prevention, treat- ment, training and placement. Through the foundation, dis- abled persons are provided with prosthetic devices ranging from orthopedic shoes to artificial arms and legs, respirators, wheelchairs and other applian-1 ces. The foundation provides highly specialized training in using the appliances with which patients have been fitted. Pa- tients also are trained in acquir- In the scenic setting of Mrs. F. C. Jackson’s Hillsview Drive home, a group of Richmond Hill's Y.W.C.A. founders and chairmen of local “Y Neigh- bour" groups entertained and held discussions with some very interesting international Y.W. C.A. guests. Mrs. Fraser-Leigh is the in- coming general secretary for the Y.W.C.A. of Sierra Leone. A Swedish scholarship which en- abled Edith Fraser- Leigh to go to Jamaica, for a three-month training period before coming to Canada, allows her to re- main here for six weeks thence to join other overseas staff in Switzerland in leadership work. These visitors for the remain- der of January will be working with Richmond Hill groups stud- ying the exciting development of small groups of interested women to a full-fledged exten- sion program. They were Miss Myra Holder, program secretary for Y.W.C‘A., San Fernando, Trinidad. She arrived in Canada in July and since that time has worked with Kitchener day and residential camps and with leaders’ camp at Owaissa. Miss Henrietta Vanderpuye is a 27-year-old teacher in Ghana, actively engaged as a Y.W.C.A. volunteer, giving leadership to Y-Teen ciubs and sewing as a member of national executive. Henrietta is about to become national program secretary for the Y.W.C.A. of Ghana, and be- fore leaving Canada hopes to visit a number of Y.W.C.A.’s. A wealth of information re- lating to the individual’s entry into Y.W.C.A. as well as the history of the inception of local ‘groups in Richmond Hill area was exchanged.

Recently, it was reported, one man had to go through the pipes which are being forced under the highway and was overcome by gasoline fumes. Fortunately he was equipped with a safety rope and was pulled out. The gasoline is in the ground in such quanti- ties, said Markham's engineer, that actually field pipe is satur- ated. Cannot Trace Origin Worst part of the situation is‘ that the source of the gasoline cannot be traced, any more than it could in 1958. Local gasoline outlets have been checked but report everything in order, with no loss of gallonage. Mr. Mikelas has again asked the Ontario Fire Marshal's of- fice for assistance and has also warned the Ontario Department of Highways and the Consum- ers Gas Company, whose line runs nearby. Accidental igniting of the gasoline-soaked land could provide a dangerous sit- uation, it is reported. ing new skills or redeveloping old ones appropriate to their new potentialities and limita- tions. After treatment, the rehabili- tation foundation for the dis- abled endeavours to help handi- capped individuals to take what is often the final step of rehabil- itation - that of finding wage- paying positions in the right kind of jobs, Some of them will be able to find jobs for themselves; still others will gain economic independence through the ex- pert assistance of the National Employment Service. “I want to emphasize that the help given our handicapped is not a privilege accorded to them," said Mrs. Todd, “but a great need which must be met. But the demand for this kind of help still exceeds the funds available. It is for this reason that I again urge all residents of our community to give gener- ously when they are approached on Monday night. “Our m’arch’ing mothers are ready to act in behalf of the handicapped. I know the resi- dents of bur fail them.” women come to the Y.W.C.A. on their individual level of in- terest, so the varied type of programme has been proven to be of most value. It is hoped that from observing the groups in action and from learning of the association's growth, con- crete ideas will develop and en- courage a stronger world-wide fellowship. A round-robin let- ;ter was moved and seconded un- ganimously to keep in contact and aware of further progress in these far-reaching areas. Since the Walter Scott Y.W. C.A. meeting January 25th, would be held while the guests still would be in Canada, at- rangements were made for a return visit on that date. Rec- ords of representative music and demonstration of tradition- al dances will be a part of the programme, and all Richmond Hill Y.W.C.A. members are cor- dially invited to attend this special event at Walter Scott School, 8 pm.

A letter was received from Mr. W.

Reeve Albert Ruther-l ford of Vaughan Township was elected on the first ballot while Reeve Floyd Perkins of Richmond Hill was named commissioner on the second ballot by ac- clamation. The two commissioners serve with the warden of the county as the executive committee, conducting business regularly. Commissioner Ruther- ford was first elected to Vaughan Township Council in 1949 and served as councillor in that year and in 1950 and 1951. In 1952 he was elected deputy-reeve, serving in that office for five years. Out of office for four years, he captured the reeve’s seat in the turbu- lent election for a two-year term for 1961 and 1962, capturing 2340 votes to 1320 and 412 scored respec- tively by his two opponents in a contest which was based on accusations of conflict of interest on the part of certain members of the preceding Vaughan Council. Commissioner Perkins was first elected to Richmond Hill Council in 1950, serving until. 1957 when he be- came deputy-reeve. He was reeve in 1959, was out for a year and was then re-elected for 1961 and 1962. 29 YONGE‘ST. ‘3 pirhmnnrl H AYLMER TOMATO AYLMER Tomato SOUp 21002.tin523c ‘swmsou's FROZEN PIES TURKEY, CHICKEN & BEEF Ponxkawzf CHRISTIE’S SALTED OR PLAIN STEWING BEEF Premium Sodas I lb. box CATSUP 3 lb. poly bag 35c lb. 45c SHOULDER with January 28th.
