The tour, made for the purpose of extending the in- terest of the Africa Inland Mission and also the Mission to Lepers, included North and South Islands of New Zealand, and Australia and Tasmania. Miss George ful- filled some 200 speaking en- gagements in many of the denominational churches of these countries, discussing the work of the “Mission to Lepers" and the work that she herself has been engag- ed in at Kola Ndoto Lepros- Irium in Tanganyika, East Africa. Miss George reports that in all the churches, re- gardless of denomination. the interest was very good and the people themselves are very warm-hearted and 3319 YONGE ST. made/ewe? son of Mrs. Len Shore, Liberal correspondent, 24 Richmond St., Maple. was involved in an ac- cident with A.

Preston, co- ordinator of York County Emergency Measures Organiza- tion. has criticized reports in county weeklles and Toronto dailies that the county has no emergency plan ready to put into operation. EMO Chief Lashes Out At Critics Of “No Plan" "Such reports are somewhat misleading to the public," he charged. “They are not strictly true." Major Preston explained that, although “a comprehen- sive survival plan is still in draft", an “interim operational plan" was approved and issued Question to be submitted to a vote of the electors of the Town of Richmond Hill: I Russell Lynett, Clerk of‘ the Town of Richmond Hill do hereby certify that the above is a true copy of the question to be submitted to the electors at the Munici- pal elections to be held on Saturday, December 8th, 1962 from 9:00 AM. until 6:00 PM. MAJOR W. F. A. PRESTON “Are you in favour of public games and sports for gain after 1:30 0’- clock in the afternoon on the Lord’s day to be reg- ulated by Municipal by- law under the authority of The Lord’s Day (Ont- ario) Act 1960-61?” friendly. “The country (New Zealand) is the most beauti- ful I have ever seen, and I do look forward to a return visit, perhaps at next fur- lough time", added Miss George. Gifts were given in New Zealand which enabled Miss George to visit "Hay Ling Chau" (Island of Happy Healing) Lepros‘arium at Hong Kong. She gives the following account of her so- journ there. “I had almost a week there and was able to observe all that is being done both medically and surgically. and also to see in operation their physio and occupational therapy depart- ments. It was my privilege to watch the young woman surgeon doctor do a recon- struction operation on a band and foot during one very humid afternoon. The shining faced Chinese Pastor of the Leprosarium is a Lu- theran minister and it was a great thrill to sit in the church service and also to bring greetings to the pa- tients from my leprosarium patients at Kola Ndoto in Tanganyika." Gifts from interested friends made it possible to spend a week in Israel and another in London after leaving Honk Kong. “The greatest experience of all was that of ‘walking where Jesus walked' in Israel,” re- calls Miss George. “Mount Carmel. Nazareth and Galli- lee, Jerusalem and Mount Zion spoke deeply to my heart. This was an experi- TOWN OF RICHMOND HILL R. Lynett, Clerk He emphasized the plan has been in operation since then, including the time of the Ber- lin Crisis. in June 1961 “Arrangements are being made to have this plan issued within the next few days,‘ he claimeci. Y._,. Police said about $400 damage resulted later that afternoon when a car travelling south on Bathurst St. hit a bump on the road and went out of control. Driver of the car was Wolfgang Kaufiman, 101 Reiner Rd., Downsvlew. The accident took place about three-quarters of a mile south of Can-ville Road. “It is quite wrong, therefore, to state that no plan is in ex- istence." A report in the November edition of "The Liberal" out- lined the present EMO setup in the county. The report stated "the EMO plan was still in draft form.” No mention was made of an interim plan. At last week’s meeting of Richmond Hill Council, Mayor James Haggart charged the county had no plan completed to deal with a national crisis. Mr. Haggart told members of 1council he was appalled at the llack of plans to deal with an ‘emergency revealed at a spe- cial meeting of county officials held in Newmarket during the Cuban crisis. Damage was estimated at $700.77 .- . .-.on. J,AAA_‘ “The EMO has no plan final- ized for this area and we were told to come up with our own," the mayor said. Council approved the mayor's plan to set up a local EMO ex- ecutive composed of council and a planning committee of senior town officials and mem- bers of other public bodies, by a vote of three to two.

The week in London was Miss George's third vis- it there and was an oppor- tunity to renew old acquain- tances and to make new friends. On her return to Canada, Miss George spent three days visiting her stepsister in Halifax before coming on to Toronto and Richmond Hill. Miss George receives her personal support from three Baptist Churches, of whlch Richmond Hill Baptist is one, also the People’s Church in Toronto and an Associated Gospel Church in Kingston.

USED TOYS WANTED Adequate provision of essen- tial services for the York Cen- tral Hospital now under con- struction on the Maple Side- road is also advocated by Mr. Campbell. Contesting the Ward 1 seat is Walter Scudds, 34 ,of 295 Blue Grass Blvd., who is fighting to unseat incumbent member John McDiarmid. Married with three boys, he has resided at 64 Cartier Cres since moving to Richmond Hill eight years ago. Terming it an “urgent need" the Ward 2 member said Rich- mond Hill must bring into bal- ance the industrial-residential assessment in order to relieve some of the burden now being carried by taxpayers. The most important thing facin council at present ac- cording to Mr. Campbell is ef- ficient industrial development of the areas adjacent to the town as well as completing what is underway in the town proper. 7 A resident of Richmond Hill for five years, Mr. Scudds is married with four children. Born and educated in Toronto he is associated with General Foods Ltd., as a salesman. Interested in local govern- ment and the future of Rich- mond Hill Mr. Scudds has been active in church and community affairs since moving here. Mr. MacDiarmid, who also got in by acclamation last year and is completing his first year on council. has been chairman of the transportation and parking committee as well as serving on the police, industrial and recre- ation committees. Married with one boy, 8, the 39-year-old sitting member lives at 350 South Taylor Mills Drive. He is employed in the electronic sales field. He is a former president of the Beverley Acres Ratepayers Association and has served on the ‘Richmond Hill Planning Board. Claiming the present situation is detrimental to the town he said some solution must be found to solve the dilemma for the Yonge Street businessman. “As yet we have not got off the ground in an attempt to tackle this problem and it is imperative a start he Redevelopment of the dawnâ€" town area is one of the big jobs still facing council, Mr. Mac- Diarmid said this week when asked to comment on his future plans.

Mr. MacDiarmid has devoted considerable time during his term in getting an efficient lo- cal bus service operating through the residential areas.

Councillor Margare‘ South- well has the field all to herself in Ward 3, the smallest of the four wards. “We must progress sanely, not in a hodge-podge manner," Mr. White stated.

Mrs. Southwell is seeking her fourth term on council having previously served for six years on the Richmond Hill Public School Board. She feels the coming year could be an important one in the development of Richmond Hill and is asking a further mandate from the electors to help complete the many pro- jects started during 1962.
