Dr. Rynard said drinking was responsible in some measure for: About one-quarter of all family and social agencies Work. Many of the auto accidents which Dr. P. B. Rynard, former medical health officer and present Federal Conservative member for Simcoe East, also recommended the return to our schools of the old-time twice-a- week “scare” classes on the evils of alcohol. Doubling liquor taxes was urged recently by a veteran doctor . and Member of Parliament to pay for the "trouble and disruption” caused by drinking. The practice of paying council members for this additional service was approved by last year’s town council and came into effect on Jan- uary 1. 1962. There are a total of five council appointed boards and commissions excluding the planning board. These include the industrial commission, recreation committee, Deputy-reeve Stanley Tinker tab~ led a motion at last week’s meeting of council doing away with any such payments in 1963. In presenting his motion Mr. Tinker said it was not fair to expect citizens to serve with- out remuneration while council mem~ hers are paid for serving on the same boards. Local taxpayers will welcome council’s decision to call a halt to the former practice of paying council members who serve on various town appointed public bodies. As a Member of Parliament Earl Rowe has represented the riding of Duflerin-Simcoe which borders on the riding of York North at Bradford and he is well known throughout the County of York. Part of the famous Holland Marsh is in the riding of Dufferin-Simcoe and part in this rid- ing and in problems concerning this area the Dufferin-Simcoe member has A member of the House of Com- mons since 1925 Mr. Rowe is now the dean of the House, and he was for a short time a member of the Ontario Legislature and leader of his party in the province. Well known and res- pected in the business world he is perhaps best known as a farmer and internationally famous as a breeder of standard bred horses. Wherever harness racing is known in Canada the name of Earl Rowe is a house- hold word and he enjoys to a remark- able degree the good-will, confidence and respect of the sporting fraternity. The appointment of Hon. Earl Rowe as Lieutenant-Governor of On- tario announced recently should prove very popular with the people of this province. Certainly it will be popular in Dufferin-Simcoe riding which he has represented in Parlia- ment for thirty-eight years, and here in York North where he is well and favorably known. Hon. Earl Rowe has been a good neighbour and will make a good Lieutenant-Governor. LIBERAL. Richmond Hill. Ont.. Thursday, January 24, 1963 'An Independent Weekly: Established 1878 “QT/13 I.

The Richmond Hill Liberal is pleased to join with the Hon. Earl Rowe's many friends in York Coun- ty in extending congratulations and best wishes. During his long and successful career Earl Rowe was a keen campaigner but a fair one, and he never hit below the belt. He is held in high regard by people who knew him in all political parties. To have retained the confidence and sup- port of those who know him best in the constituency of Dufl’erin-Simcoe for thirty-eight years is in itself a great tribute and recommendation for the honour of appointment as Lieutenant-Governor. always been most cooperative and helpful. Another link with York North was his close association and long friendship with this riding’s most colorful politician, the late Herb. Lennox.

This was laudable and also laughable when you not- ticed the bottom of the picture. Maureen O’Hara was in the haystack. In a most interesting address reported fully in “The Liberal” Issues early in 1898 Mr. Harri- son reviewed the progress of education In this community. He told of the first log suc‘hool built in 1810 and the first schoolmaster who was paid $50 per an‘n‘ulm.

NORMAN TODD “If it hadn’t been for the money provided by the March of Dimes we might never have had the Salk vaccine and countless mothers would not have the happy confidence from the threat of polio as they have today,” said Helen Todd of 95 Church St. S., Chair~ man of the March of Dimes Campaign for Richmond Hill and district. Mrs. Todd is very enthusiastic about her chosen volunteer work. She has nothing but admiration for the patients who hear their troub- les with courage and fortitude; for the willing people who serve this cause in various capacities and for the doctors and nurses who unselfishly give freely of their time and skill to alleviate the distress brought on by accident or crippling diseases such as polio. Mrs. C. R. Peterkin is Mrs. Todd’s capable assistant and she is in charge of the industrial campaign of the March of Dimes in Richmond Hill. The chief marching mothers are as follows: Mrs. Norman Todd, TU. 4-1863; Mrs. J. Derrick. Richmond Hill, TU. 4- 1012; Mrs. A. Gibeault, Oak Ridges, PR. 3-5179; Mrs. Helen Hook. Elgin Mills, TU. 4-2447; Mrs. Len Shore, Maple, AL. 7-1150; Mrs. Dick Mills, Richvale, AV. 5- 5586; Mrs. T. Harrington, Thornhill. AV. 5-2993. The March of Dimes campaign is scheduled for a blitz on January 28, between 7 pm. and 8 pm. Put your porch light on as :. welcome to the splendid marching mothers of our districts. In summing up, Mrs. Southwell said that she met many fine people throughout the years she served on the school board and council. It was her feeling that she had worked harder last year than she had ever done before. “In going from door to door to visit the people in my ward and as a canvasser for the hospital campaign I was charmed by many of the people I met. And concerning my defeat, it was heartening to realize that more people offered me their condolences and expressed their disappointment than had come to congratulate me when I was elected the first woman member of the Richmond Hill Coun- cil. I am very happy to be living in such a district as Richmond Hill and so is my family.” “If I had been re-elected,” she said. “I would have asked to be reappointed to the planning board. The completion of the twenty year plan is most im- portant to the planned growth of Richmond Hill and I would have worked hard to see it finalized and brought before the people for approval.” According to Mrs. Southwell, there is definitely a place for women in public service. “They have a different outlook than men on many things, and in this day and age every angle should be considered. I would like to see one woman on every council,” she said. Margaret Southwell also stated that the reason many women will not enter public life is because they do not wish to subject themselves and their families to the public criticism that is inevitable when one is in the public eye. There are very capable men as well as women who will not offer their services for this very reason. “Good healthy criticism never hurt anyone,” she said, “but so often, especially at election times, personalities are allowed to enter the matter and I think that this is not desirable in a small town and at the municipal level. I have never conducted and never would allow anyone supporting me to con- duct 21 mud-slinging campaign. I feel if one has to l resort to this method to get elected, the end does not I justify the means!” ‘ Margaret, husband Frank, daughter Barbara, (second year sociology student at McMaster Univer- sity, Hamilton), and son David (grade 10 in Richmond Hill High School) live at 237 Church Street South in Richmond Hill. Her involvement with community life is well known. Besides being a former councillor and s_ 001 board trustee, she is an active member of the R ihmond Hill United Church Women, the hospital allxiliary and the York North Women’s Liberal As- sociation. RICHMOND HILL. A WONDERFUL PLACE TO LIVE - - - MARGARET SOUTHWELL “I think the people in Richmond Hill are tops and I am very happy that my husband and I chose Richmond Hill as our home,” declared Margaret South- well, former member of the Richmond Hill Council. Mrs. Southwell is planning a full programme for 1963. She has resolved to spend more time with her family and friends. After a short rest, she hopes to be active in different community organizations that have al- ways interested her as she had no time for them while she was leading a busy political life. ‘The Music Box... This is the sort of thing that makes the law abiding citizenry angry. They spend money and time to make their premises attractive, and not just for their own enjoyment, but indirectly to give the pass- erby pleasure as well. Evidently some passerby comes along who is definitely out-of-kilter with his environment and commits unsocial acts against per- sons or communities. What motivates them? As for the wronged citizens, I don’t blame them for being angry. Not in the least. WHAT CAN WE DO? Just before Christmas I received a call from an irate resident of Brooke Street in Thornhill. Some- one had wantonly broken her lovely Christmas tree lights. And not only that, some of them had been stolen!
