The pup had wandered through a run-off culvert and fallen into the sewer. It was unable to jump back to safety from the watery depths. Dramatic Rescue 0f Stranded Pup Made By Officer Mr. Ryan was lowered by ropes over 40 feet through the narrow pipe on his sto- mach before reaching the stranded animal. Grabbing the pup by the neck he lifted it up and pushed it ahead of him to safety. Waiting at the top of the culvert was the young own- er, Karen Haessler of 392 Becker Ave, Richmond Hill, sobbing quietly While the dramatic rescue was being carried out. Karen and Trixie, who is part Spaniel and Collie, were happily reunited with no ill effects to either re- ported. When asked to comment on his daring rescue bid Mr. Ryan said: “An animal was in trouble. I gave it a helping hand".

Secret- ary-treasurer of Mills and Hadwin, a Toronto car deal- er, Mr. Tomlin is rumored to be considering seeking the mayor’s chair this year. Council’s representatives on the board are Councillor John M‘acDiarmid of 350 South Tay- lor Mills Dr., and Councillor Alex Campbell of 64 Cartier Cr., an employee of A. E. Ames and Co.

He is married and has three boys and one girl. Active in Scout work for near- ly 10 years he was the founding member of two local Scout groups and is presently chair- man of 8th Richmond Hill Scout Troop. Making his first bid for public office he is a strong advocate of more parkland and increased recreational facilities for our youth and supports the swim- ming pool project now being launched by Councillor John MacDiarmid. “I will work towards keeping taxes down, in- creased industrial develop- ment and strive at all times for honest and constructive government in Richmond Hill,” Mr. Smith stated. Opposing Mr. Smith for the Ward 2 seat is incumbent Alec Campbell now completing his first term of office. Born in Windsor and educat- ed in Toronto he is employed by A. E. Ames & Company in the industrial stocks and bond field. An announcement can be ex- pected within the next few days from one of the contenders, “The Liberal“ was informed Wednesday. Latest to place his name be- fore the electors is Pat Smith of 433 Centre St. East, who an- nounced Tuesday he will make a try for the Ward 2.seat now held by Mr. Campbell. Mr. Smith is past chairman of the now defunct Richmond Ac- res Ratepayers Association. Sev- eral years ago he headed a dele- gation that was successful in getting local bus service in Rich- mond Hill.

Councillors Alec Campbell, John MacDiarmid and A] White have stated they will seek re-election Decem- ber 8, but all will face opposition. As yet. no candi- date has come forward to vie for the Ward 3 seat held by Mrs. Margaret Southwell, who said Wednesday she will seek a fourth term on council.

GRAND OPENING A board chairman who is responsible for a full-time city job finds it difficult to do justice to the commission he is serving on, Mr. Tilt sug- gested. All three boards are ap- pointed by council and in- clude two members of coun- cil. "We are all trying to do the same thing,” he said. Both the arena board and POWELL FURNITURE Members of the board ex- pressed belief the board should try to create larger, more com- pact parks. It was felt that re- venue from the sale of the greenbelt could be used in ac- quiring land for larger parks. The land in question is a narrow strip behind homes fronting on Axminster Dr. and Demai‘ne Crescent. There is room on the parkland for only one row of homes. If the land is sold, closâ€" est park for most children will he Crosby Heights School. Council would have to accept the board’s recommendation before any sale could go ahead and the planning board would have to change the zoning of the strip from greenbelt to re- r‘dential. Since most of Richmond Hill has been developed, any fu- ture parkland would have to be developed on land outside the present town limits. Funds realized from the sale of the land would rev rt to the parks board and woul be used for acquiring parkland else- where. The land presently serves as a buffer between the residential area of Beverley Acres and an industrial area along the CNR.
