As their first venture to ralse funds, the Hllltoppers Associaâ€" tion are planning a social even~ ing and dance to be held some time in the near future. It is the hope of the association that the people of Richmond Hill will lend their full support to thls effort. in the near future. be carrying the town's name with them in their travels throughout Ontar- to and into the United States. 1t ls the feeling that an effi- cient and competent corps will bring further recognition to Richmond Hill as the corps will. A new association has been armed in Richmond Hill and vii! be known as the “Hilltop- ers Parents Association". embers of the association are 'parents of the boys and girls *who make up the Richmond Hill Drum Corps. Purpose of the association is to raise funds {or the drum corps which in the past has been financed to a large extent by the Lions club. In recent months however. the Lions club has been preoccu- pied in raising funds for the new hospital so parents of the boys and girls of the drum corps have agreed to combine their efforts and take over the responsibility of raising funds for the corps in order that it may fulfill its many commit- ments in 1963 and the years ahead. Two general meetings have already been held and the as- :ociatidn is confident that. with the help of the citizens and merchants of the town thal their aims and ambitions will loan be realized. aise Funds For )rummer Corps Television Rentals From $10.00 Monthly TU. 4-7456 “#099”? _T° iBayview Students Put Candidates On Griddle J.

We who saw our fathers concerned with the plight of Canadian neighbours during the Saskatchewan drought and the Winnipeg flood, must now set our sights on wid- er horizons â€"- the revolution in Cuba. the hunger in China. the poverty and malnutrition in Af- rica. Now everyone becomes a neighbour,“ he said. “As long as many live in poverty. or are underprivileged because of col- or or race, the world is in dan- ger."

Holstein Association Hears Dr. A. C. Forrest “We must educate ourselves to become a part of the Republic of Learningâ€"learning to under- stand. The wise and educated man knows there are no simple solutions to the problems of under- developed countries today.” This was the essence of an address by the Rev. Dr. A. C. Forrest, editor of The United Church 0b- server, who was guest speaker Friday evening last when members and guests of the York County Holstein Association held their annual banquet at St. Andrew’s United Church, Markham. If Messrs. John Addison, Charles Hopper and Stanley Hall, running candidates in the York North riding for the forthcoming federal elecâ€" tion were under the impres- sion that their meeting with the student body of Bayview Secondary School was going to be a breeze. they now know that they were labouring under a misapprehension. First speaker at the meet- lng was John Addison. Lib- eral standard bearer for the riding who told the students that first and foremost in the Liberal platform was the formation of a government that had the good of the country at heart. Before any government could work for Even less with irade Confronted with rou- ghly 150 placard hear- ing enthusiastic students the candidates were the subject of a barrage of questions from the stu- dent body - some of which were obviously not too easy to answer by the three candidates.

There was no doctor, and the population suf- fered from malnutrition be- cause they live chiefly on a diet of cornmeal mush. “In this beautiful rolling country which is potentially rich (seeds will grow if planted) many are hungry," said Dr. Forrest. “This is the thing which strikes the traveller from the western world.” Chief R. P. Robbins who was in attendance said that lunch time {or'police depended on the work of the day. “Some times when they are busy they have no lunch time, other days they might get up to an hour" said the chief.

Coun- cillor Campbell questioned a clause dealing with the hours of work but his amendment that the clause be reviewed failed to get a seconder. The councillor’s question was whe- ther the agreement called for an eight or a seven hour day. Police now work in three eight hour shifts with up to an hour allowed for lunch. Regarding Councillor Camp- bell‘s request for a clear defi- nition of an eight or seven hour day Councillor White said "I think you’re making a moun- tain out of a molehill". POLICE AGREEMENT Dr. Forrest stressed that for Canada to send help in the obvious way would be disastrous. “One of the worst things we could do for the people of Angola would be to send them our surplus foods free. They are learning to develop their lands. use fertilizers, etc. They are developing trade. Our surpluses would upset their market." the good of the country he said, it must have sufficient strength and that unless a government was returned to Ottawa that had a working majority there could only be regional representation. a si- tuation which, he said, was dangerous and uneconomic- al. In recalling the days pre- ceding the last election he reminded the students that the Prime Minister had told the country that it had never been in better shape in all its history but short- ly after the election Canada had found itself in one of its gravest financial posiâ€" tions of all time. He said that a break-up in the Conservative party had been obvious for some time but that weakness of the Conservatives really came to the fore during the Cuban crisis when. he said, it took the Conservative govern~ ment at Ottawa 72 hours to decide what it was going to do in the crisis. Stanley Hall, N.D.P. Hill Council Briefs BY JEAN B. LEAF Dr. Forrest also pointed out that Western methods of agrl~ culture are not always applic- able. He cited the case of one piece of weed covered land he thought should be plow- ed and fallowed, but an African assured him this would not do. The hot. dry winds would blow away the top soil if the land was plowed. solved many agricultural prob- lems. With better nutrition there are few deaths from childbirth, and the infant mor- tality rate is low. Close watch on dairy herds through inspec- tion has cut the incidence of tuberculosis. Underdeveloped countries are still fighting these ills, and could use our techni- cal knowledge. At present, land is cleared by burning off the brush and af- ter a year or two of this treat- ment crops are poor. Better ways must be found. "In Africa. it you meet someone who has ‘emerged‘ from the tribe to become a teacher. agriculturist. or doctor. it has been made possible because of educa- tion brought by workers of the Church. “We who have had the advant~ age of free education ina free will be effective this year‘ On motion of Councillor Walter Scudds it was recom- mended that the police matron receive an increase of $150. Deputy-reeve Tinker report- ed for the finance committee with a recommendation that the existing policy governing attendance of officials at con- ventions be unchanged. It was explained that the existing pol- icy is that convention trips in Ontario may be authorized by the responsible committee, but trips to conventions outsigLe Ontario must have approval of the whole council. Accounts authorized for pay- ment by the finance committee included a November 1962 ex- pense account of Industrial Commissioner Langford for $113.15; Councillor Scudds ex- penses attending O.M.A. Con- vention $19.00; County of York entry fee for county bonspiel $20; J. E. Buchanan January garbage collection $3335.38; school guards for February Council passed a motion by Councillor Campbell that the planning board chairman be asked to confer with the town personnel committee regarding salaries. CONVENTION POLICY "The best way to help them with their problems," Dr. Forrest said. “is by understanding. and sending to their aid the most dedi- cated people we can find. candidate. told the stu- dents of the three major platforms of his party and how it was proposed to go about achieving them. He recalled to the students that it was the C.C.F. the {orerun- ner of the National Dem- ocratic Party. that had instituted socialized me- dicine in Canada as far back as 1947. In the matter of nuclear arma- ments he said that his Party was “emphatically unequivocally and unal- terably opposed" to no- clear weapons and char- ged that the Liberals were advocating the use of nuclear weapons as a psychological sop to comfort the conscience of Canadians. He said that if Canadians accep- ted the Liberal argu- ment on nuclear weap- ons they would find it to be an expensive tran- quilizer in the long run. Charles Hooper. Progres- sive Conservative, recalled During the evening Mr. WahI introduced, Charles Halnes. who replaces Sam Gough as the new sales agent for the county club; and Trevor Watson, the new secretary. replaces Roy Barker who served for 18 years. Mr. Gough and Mr. Barker were tendered parting gifts. Draw prizes were won by Mrs. Bruce Davidson, Roy Rob- inson, Wesley Clarke, Gordon Miller, Roy Barker, Mrs. Walter Atkinson and Mrs. Jessie Laver.

Among the guests Were Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Mur- chison; Mr. and Mrs. Sam Gough; Mr. and Mrs. Al Wall, Agricultural Representaâ€" tive of York County; Mr. and Mrs. Dan Rose, Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Snider, Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Davidson.

Welfare 01\~er N. Lewis and Police Chief R. P. Robbins. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss with the department heads various prob- lems of municipal administra- tion. “I think the meeting was most helpful" said Councillor White who added that it is planned to hold similar meet- ings monthly. PARK PLANS On motion of Councillor Scudds it was decided to pro- ceed at once with expropria- tion proceedings to acquire an acre of land on Crosby Avenue for park development. It was stated that a park is needed to meet the recreation plans for the area. The acre to be ex- propriated will supplement four acres already owned and ready for development. It is planned to proceed at once with improvements so the park space can be used this coming summer. Co-ordinated Welfare Coun- selling Service a co-operauve group of local agencles inter- ested in public welfare wrote town council some time ago asking rebate of some of the money spent on Christmas bas- to the students that under Prime Minister John Diefen- baker's government in Otta- wa that one of the greatest pieces of Canadian legisla- tion in the country's history had been 'put onto the sta- tute books. He was referring to the Bill Of Rights which he read out in part for the students. The candidates were intro- duced to the students by Principal J. W. Kippen who turned the meeting over to the panel comprised of Duane Pattield. Martin Con- neliy, Miss Pat Baker, and Brad Bellls. Mr. Charles Hooper claimed that if it had not. been for the badg- ering tactics of the oppo- sition parties during the brief tenure of the last. parliament that a great deal more legislation would have been accom~ plished for the good of the country.
