BUTT by Bill Barnes your telephone manager Each year at this time mast of us fall victims to a strange malady known as spring fever. The symptoms are easy to detect. Memb rs of the fair sex usually develop a keen ' ‘ ‘~ ‘ ‘ “ ~ interest in col- ourful new clothing and can generally be seen sport« ing lovely new creations calla ed Easter bonc nets. The men- tolk, on the o t h e 1- hand, lust sit around and dream of distant trout streams. An- other strange effect of this disease might be termed: “A 'eawalrening of the nest-build- ing urge" - and intense desire to improve and \ »» v , ‘ aeautify the ,9; e . ,, e . , “ nom e. And that‘s exac 1y what a ct of folks in Ric mond Hill are concerned with these days. How do we know? Well we've noticed a greater interest in our coloured extension phones. As a matter of fact. there's a decided increase in the num- ber of orders we've received in recent weeks. I guess that's proof enough. So, if you're suffering from spring fever, just relax and enjoy it. Remember, you're in good company. Those tents you occasionally see on telephone lines may have set you wondering what sort of mysterious operation was going on inside. Actually, it's no mystery. The tents are simply protection against rain, wind, or hot sun for phone men engaged in splicing cables together. It's one “undercover job" that helps assure the depend- ability oi telephone service, since tents like this allow us to make cable repairs in just about any kind of Weather. Here's I new sound for your home â€"_ Beu Chime. it's e delightful musical chime to announce your telephone calls . . . and it’s available for individual and two-party line customers in Richmond Hill. Installed in the hallway, living room or anywhere else you like, it summons you gently to the near- est phone. Bell Chime comes in two beautiful colours â€" velvety gold or soft ivory.

Religion and Creeds" â€"- Lady Baden POWell This inspiring thought is from ian address given by Lady Baden- POWel-l to a large gathering in Toronto, of Guide leaders and members of the Canadian Coun- cil. The meeting began trium- phantly as this wonderful wo- lman with a queenlly air walked briskly up the aisle flanked with the navy blue uniforms of the Guiders. bowing to the right and left and saying audiny ‘such old friends, many many old friends’. 'Mrs.Anne FraserMcVey iPassed Away Suddenly Lady Baden-Powell spoke of the importance of public rel- ations in the organization and said how once it was a 'small band of do-gooders’ but since Girl Guides is a world wide or- ganization financial assistance is loften needed. To ask the gener- al public for funds creates in- terest and herein is an opport- unity. 7 The sudden death of Mrs. Anne Fraser McVey at her home, 25 Lorne Avenue. Richmond H111, Monday.

They are taught .simple hygiene, domestic skills and how to care for their families. even how to garden to help alleviate the ever-present Hunger. It gives these young girls a new hope that sqmeone cares. M the risk of "stepping on some toes" she spoke of more "collaboration" in this country. between the Boy Scouts and the Girl Guides, “at a higher level". Then with a twinkle in her eye she told of a jamboree of thou-sands somewhere in India where thousands of Scouts and Guides were in the tame en- campment. 7 Mén and women from all walls of life in important pos- BILL DING says: a fun spot fatal!

Fol- lowing her marriage to Edward McVey, they made their home in Girvan, Ayrshire, for some years. Twelve years ago Mr. and Mrs. McVey came to Canada and spent a year in Toronto be- fore moving to Richmond Hill and establishing the Roylan Hairdressing Salon. Here. Mrs. McVey's happy disposition and genuine interest in her clientele soon built up a wide circle of friends who extend isincere sympathy to the bereav- ed family.

Jim Ryan. who isn't really such a bad sort. has almost become resigned to the fact that a ma- jor occupational hazard is the blast that he comes in for everv time he rescues a dog from the dangers of the open road. How- ever, when a dog. especially me who is being rescued, bites the hard that feeds it, so to speak, that's going a little too far. Such'were the actions of a large Labrador recently in pro- tecting the welfare of a friend â€" a small hound â€"- when Mr. Ryan attempted to extricate saidl friend who had neen entangled' in a clump of brush and under- growth for about four days. Some time ago Mr. Rvan was using this for protection, forced‘ his way past the large dog. The animal followed the con- troller right to his jeep and even after he had deposited the smaller dog in the vehicle, kept snarling and barking. Although the smaller animal, which had no identification. was taken to the canine control ken- nels because the rightful owner could not be found. all ended happily. The owner, hearing of Mr. Ryan's experience, checked the animal thinking it was his. Sure enough the animal it was and was returned to him im- mediately.

The town's public library â€" particularly its reference lib: rary â€" could be of considerable‘ value to both industrial and‘ commercial activities. Chief Librarian Fred Israel told mem- bers of the executive council of the Richmond Hill Chamber of Commerce at their last meeting. With Library Week under way, he was a special guest of the Chamber. The hours at which library service was available were stressed by Mr. Israel. who invited business men to make full use of its facilities. The council, which has been meeting on Tuesdays at noon, will switch its meetings to the evening of the fourth Tuesday of each month.

Some people. said Mr. Ry- an, claimed to have heard these noises off and on for about four days. He had entered the woods and by going in the direction of the howls. was able to locate a small hound. tangled up in some underbrush by a chain which had apparently been used to tether it somewhere. After a short walk the attack- er disappeared‘lnto the trees. Just before leaving the bush Ryan came to a deep ravine which could be crossed only by a tree which had fallen across it. The officer mounted the tree and proceeded to inch his way across. However, as he was ah- ‘ont to step otf the other slde, the Labrador appeared at the end of the tree and placed his body across the brldge blocking Mr. Ryan's path. The officer broke a branch of! the tree and, As the officer bent over the dog and began to free it, a large animal pounced on his back and knocked him off bal- ance. When he regained his bal- ance, the second animal turned out to be a large Labrador. Al- though the dog didn't resume its attack, it backed off a few feet, bated its fangs and snarled vle- lously. . _ When the Labrador appeared to have declded not to attack again, Mr. Ryan cautiously freed the smaller animal, picked it up and started to retrace his steps out of the bush. However, as soon as the officer began to walk away, the Labrador boun« ded after him snarling and barking. to meet the works committee of town council, on a basis of co- operation, to help enhance the appearance of the town. Doug- las Boyd, chairman of the civic and public affairs committee, said. He referred to co-opera~ tion which had been given in cleaning Yonge Street. ‘Check Phone Service A representative of the Bell Telephone Company would be invited to visit the council at its next meeting, members decided, to discuss telephone service in the area. It was pointed out that Avenue numbers were available within a short distance at far less than Richmond Hill sub- scribers were called on to pay.

When the" wigs were finally removed, the ladies who had crowded into the salon for the fashion showing let out gasps of disbelief. For they had not been able to tell the natural hair of model Beverley Higgins. Harding Blvd.. or the stylized hairset of Marilyn Curtis, from that of the artificial hairdos. Audrey, of Lu Bette of Paris, applied makeup with the profes- sional touch to complete the picture of glamour. She dem- onstrated the states of applica- tion from astringent for cleans- ing, to the final touches of eye shadow and lipstick.

However, its at- tempt at protection backfired. The canine controller later fol- lowed it to its home. presenting the owner with a summons for letting his dog run at large. Nine schools in the area par- ticipated in the contest and the principal of each school picked two posters which he consider- ed best. Vaughan Township Fire Chief Jim Davidson made the final selection. Those select- ed by the chief were submitted by Connie Connolly of Concord, Brian Freeland of Richvale and Clark Hazelzhurst of Jefferson.
