Reveal Drawings For New Church To Seat 526 ‘oming Events Plans for a new church were revealed Monday at the annual vestry meeting of St. Mary’s Anglican Church, Richmond Hill. A model and architect’s drawing show the proposed building will combine mo- dern architecture with tra- ditional concepts. Seating capacity will be 526.

Claiming that overseas firms based in the United States have decreased exports into this country since devaluation of the Canadian dollar, Mr. Campbell said exporters are now taking a serious look at building plants \in Canada. “It is not profitable for them to ship to Canada on account of the dollar situation and tar- rifl’ barriers and consequently quite a number of foreign firms Local Conservative Ladies Hold Gay Dance & Bullet At Lions Hall The Richmond Hill Women’s Progressive Conservative Asso- ciation held a most successful dance and buffet in the Lion’s hall on Friday night last. ...” v“ ___..__ Annually the association held a “January Dinner", but this year it was decided to hold a‘ dance and buffet. ’Dhe Lion’s hall, on Centre Street East ‘proved the most suitable place. ‘Major McKenzie, M.L.A., as- (Continued From Page 1) Although speaking strong- ly in favor of industrial an- nexation he turned thumbs down on further residential expansion. Predicts Boost Of 2-7 Per Cent $1095 $1095 $2095 $2495 $1695 $695 are locating here to protect their market,” Mr. Campbell stated. “But Richmond Hill is out of bounds because we can't supply them with land to build their plants." He predicted that if Great Britain does not enter the Com- mon Market it will be an in- centive for overseas firms to lo- cate in this country. However, if council takes a strong stand against an- nexation it means Richmond Hill must settle for small companies employing five to ten men, Mr. Campbell said. Financing industrial expan- sion will be no problem if the project is sound. Mr. Campbell Elaimed ‘sisted the president, Mrs. Mar- garet Harrison, greeting the guests, Mr. Norman Burling, or-l chestra leader, and his Kings-l men. with their talented master of ceremonies, Mr. C Van Zant, presented a variety programme which also included square dancing, the Twist and in observance of Robbie Burns Day, A Rye Waltz. Major Lex McKenzie led off “The Gay Gordons". Noticeable on the floor was Mr. and Mrs. Lou Reid resplendaLn-t in the Bob- ertson Clan Tartan. The hall with its huge clust- ers of evergreens hung around the wall, decorated with minia- ture blue and white lights and large silver chandelier, comnli- mented the cabaret style. Mr. Larry Lucas and his YPC help- ers are to be congratulated on their special decorations which were greatly admired. Winners of the spot dances were: Mr. and Mrs. Rudy Dou- cette; Mr. and Mrs. Chuck Hor- ne; Mrs. Sadie Lucas and Mr. J. Rimmer; Mr. John Graves and Miss Beverly Boland. A door prize and roses were also presented.

Alters Bylaw Procedure But Reeve Has Last Say Each municipal bylaw must receive three readings to be- come larw. First major change came when Mr. Hooper instructed the mover of the first reading of each bylaw to read the pre- ‘amble before moving its first reading. Afler passage of the first reading, council went into com- mittee of the whole to discuss ‘the byla-w, clause by clause. In- Last week’s Red Cross Blood Clinic held at Richmond Hill Public Library collected 224 pints of blood. Mrs. Warren Hall, 98 Ruggles \vo.. Richmond Hill, chose last week to make her third blood donation. Looking on is Red Cross Nurses Aid Viola Bank. Chairman William Hamilton of the blood clinic committee of Richmond Hill Red Cross was pleased with the small number of rejects â€" only eight. At last summer's clinic there were 37 rejects and 263 pints donated. Assisting at the clinic were the Women's Insti- tute, ladies of St. Mary‘s Anglican Church and the Catholic Women’s League of St. Mary Immaculate and Our Lady Queen of the World Churches. “People will knock on our door to lend us money." Mayor William Neal said he was not against progressive de- velopment and would favor in- dustrial annexation if the fight deal could be secured for the town. He reminded council it must spend $180,000 to repair sewers in Beverley Acres to avoid it becoming a slum area as well as installing storm sewers on Yonge Street before orderly re- development of the downtown district can begin. Merchants on Yonge Street are losing business to the shopping centres because of inadequate facilities, Mr. Neal claimed. The mayor said he based his campaign on no more annexation and a policy of consolidation, not expan- sion. Although industry does not} require schools it must have other services and I don’t know where the money will come from to provide them, Mr. Neal said. “‘Four or five'of us ‘were el- ected to put the brakes on ris- ing taxes,” the may-or told Mr. Campbell. ”B~ut if a good industry comes along we will go forward with annexation." Mr. Neal said there is not enough water available at pres- ent to supply some industries that were interested in locating here. One Dead, One Injured‘ In Head-0n Collision Harold Cain, 25 Abitib'i Ave., Willowdale. died in Branson Hospital Monday following a head-on crash on Highway 11 a mile north of Lan-gstaff. Police said Mr. Cain was southbound and collided with a northbound car driven by Eric Nisbet, 21 of Webster Dr., ‘Aurora. Mr. Nisbet is in fair condition at Branson Hospital with mult- iple fractures. A Police have been unable to determine in which lane the crash occurred Council formerly went into committee out the whole to dis- cuss a bylaw, but Reeve Dean remained in the chair. Clerk H. C. T.

GTAFF PHo-rm 325 yrs. offCommunity Service’ EHELCAEBHLBQEBM TACKPOT 1 Bryson Battles In Vain To Stop Sunday Movies Only Dissenterf Opposition from Deputy-reeve Jesse Bryson failed to prevent first and second reading of a bylaw authorizing the showing of Sunday movies at Monday night’s meeting of Vaughan Township Council. All four other members of council supported passage of the legislation. Presentation of the bylaw follows a plebiscite last month in which voters in Vaughan Township favored Sunday mo- vies 1,397 to 1,276. Mr. Bryson voiced his oppo- sition during reading of a re- port from the finance and gen- eral purpose committee recom- mending passage of the bylaw. He contended it was still the responsibility of members of council to take a stand on the matter. A check of the Ontario Municipal Act by. Clerk James McDonald showed that council “may” pass such a bylaw, not that it “should” pass the bylaw. $50.00 “Sunday is a pretty impor- tant day," Mr. Bryson said. "We should recognize the sacri- fices that have been made to obtain this day for us." “We mustn’t move so flip- pantly to open the door that will let part of Sunday go," Mr. Bryson warned. “Soon it could be the whole Sunday." Ask Salary Rate Be Reconsidered‘ 'O'n Yearly Basis Richmond Hill’s finance com- mittee was asked Monday night to review method of payment to council members ' and bring back a recommendation to ‘council. ' The request was made by Councillor A1 White who sug- gested a set yearly sum be con- sidered instead of on a per meeting basis. At their January 14 meetingcouncil voted to stop paying themselves for meetings of mu- nicipal boards or commissions _but to continue drawing $16 for regular q u‘ncil sessions or meeting of a committee of ‘council. Under the Ontario Municipal Act $1,000 is the maximum a member can receive in one year. Mr. White said members are out several nights a week on town business and some remun- eration should be paid. By paying a set amount year- ly council would know its ad- ministrative costs at the start of each term, he told council. Reeve Floyd Perkins said? members should not be paid for missing meetings and urged a clause be put into any agree- ment stipulating members would be deducted for not at- tending. Claiming taxpayers should know exactly what wages coun- cillors will receive before bhey are elected, Councillor Walter Scudds said he wasn’t in favor of members adjusting their own salary. “Sunday is the comer- stone of our democracy.” Mr. Bryson continued. “It is part of our great Christ- ian heritage." Cohncil membens sit on eight boards and commissions as well as six committees of council. Equipment Cost Hits $25,263 E For Pumph‘ovuse Purchase of all equipment for the new Edgeley Pump- house was authorized by Vau- glhan Township Council Monday night at a tot-31 cost of $25,263.- 70. Council accepted the lowest} tender in all cases but onp. Al-‘ thwgh a bid of $590.19 for an electric hypochlorinator from Wallace and Tiernan was not low, council accepted it to-as- ‘sure uniform equipment for all 1pum-phouses in the township. Council will buy an irqn re- moval unit from Degremont Canada Ltd.. for $6,490 and control equipment from Fox- boro Ltd., for $3,819.24. ‘ Biggest item was pumping equipment from Flometric, which will cost $11,946.87. on this mitten" Mr- BWS‘?“ voté in} it last month": Council- COHCIUded- some‘iay You “’111 lor Wilfred Kefier explained. have to mget your Master.

"But I’m not willing to force my opinion on anybody," he added. “I’m not saying which way I voted,” Mr. Rutherford said. “People in this municipality have indicated they are in fa- vor of a Sunday movie bylaw. The majority, in most cases, must rule.” Developers of Colmur subdi- vision in Markham Township were given the go-ahead to dump storm sewage into their sanitary sewers. Permission from township council came Monday afternoon, almost two months after their first application stirred a storm of controversy just before elec- tion time. When Colmur first applied November 26, Deputy-reeve Lawson Mum‘berson charged Reeve Wilfred Dean with un- ethical practices in dealing \with the subdivid-er.
