The Richmond Hill local group met earlier this month and heard at that time that the cost of raising funds was “bare: 1y five per cent." Mrs. G. V. Purves, branch chairman, told those attending there had been recent criticism by a radio personality that an insufficient portion of the collected funds found its way into research. The unit‘s executive pointed out there was a booklet pre- pared by the society outlining just how the cancer dollars were spent. She said the grea- test portion was spent on re- search, with education and welfare following as the next two major expenditures. Mfrs.

Moore, chairman of York Branch, and Miss Kristine Sid- lauskite, social worker at On- tario Hospital, New Toronto will discuss the work of 3 vol- unteer. The above program has been designed to interest more persons in the understanding of the problems of mental ill- ness. While there are few per- sons in the county today who have not heard of mental heal- th, there are untold numbers who still talk of mental illness in hushed tones, observed a member of York County Bra- nch of the Canadian vMental Health Association. Much has been accom- plished in York County since a branch was opened five years ago. Some of these were: establishment of a mental health clinic; development of a program in which White Cross vol- unteers provide recreati- on, and fellowship for men- tal patients and ex-patients in the county: an educa- tional program; transpor- tation of patients to the clinic.

People need to be educated as to what aging really means and for todays so- ciety to realize that the senior citizens of today were pioneers and lived through two wars, depressions, without the aid of baby bonuses, pensions or hospitalization, and that aging is inevitable and the genera-‘ tions of today will reap to-l morrow what we are working for today, but we must have tolerance and humility to ad-‘ just ourselves to the changing life. Dr. Dutton's talk was very informative and he closed by saying if everybody tried to do ‘ten kind things, ten times a day, it would be a great con- ‘tribution to us all.

The exhibition, which com- prised pictures now perman. ently hung in Hamilton Art Gallery, had been termed “The Watson to Winter Show."

Alterations to be requested call for the ad- dition of one typewriting class and one bookkeeping room and that the provision for a langu- age laboratory be deleted from the plans. The board was also told that the architect’s second - stage plans for the new Langstaff School, with the prior approval of provincial authorities, have now been submitted to Ottawa for approval by federal author- ities in compliance with the regulations laid down to quali- fy for the federal grant of 75 percent of the cost of vocation- a1 secondary schools.

Leamington Peewees and Rich- mond Hill Hornets battled through three action- packed periods last Saturday afternoon.

Richmond Hill shots were smothered or hurried as Hornet players seemed to be anxious to fire from close quar- ters. Mike Declantis opened the scoring for the Hornets halfway through the first period. He came roaring in on the right side, deked a Leamington defenceman out of position and thread- ed the needle with a blaz- scramble and an alert Leam- ington marksman found the net wide open. This goal put Leam- ington ahead 4-2 in the series. The disappointingly small crowd of fans found plenty to yell about in the second period. A determined Hornet attack was repulsed repeatedly by a stout Leamington defence. There was a wild scramble in but the puck remained in play. the final minute of the game beatable.

During the past 59 years it has been represented at Ot- tawa by Liberals for 35 years of that time and by the Conservatives during 24 years. During the past nearly six decades York North has been represented by three cabinet ministers and a next ional party leader. Sir Allan Aylesworth and both Mu- locks. grandfather and grandson served in Liberal cabinets. Former Prime Mi- nister MacKenzie King con- tested the 1917. 1921 and 1925 federal elections as the Liberal candidate for York North. Although the federal rid- ing of York North has only been represented by Liber- als and Conservatives the provincial riding was repre- sented on one occasion by the old C.C.F. It was C.C.F. from 1943 to 1945 when for- mer North York Township Reeve George Mitchell won the riding for that party. In the 1945 provincial election the riding swung back to the Senior winners in the Richmond Hill Public School speaking contest are shown flanking the chairman of the event held recently at McConaghy Public School.

The first two members of the riding were both Liber- als and both were knighted. Sir William Mulock won the riding in 1904 with a majorâ€" ity of 962.

A pass from just inside; the Hornet blueline slid harm- lessly along the ice. It eluded everyone including Goalie Doug Meyers to lodge coyly in the Hornet goal. Now Leam- ington had a 5-3 lead and the pressure was mounting on the Hornet squad. With less than five min- utes to go the stout Learn- ington defence seemed un- beatable.

Mr. Armstrong was reâ€"elected with a greatly in- creased majority of 1,068 in the wartime election of 1917. It was in this election that he defeated MacKenzie King. Following his selec~ tion as federal party leader in 1919, succeeding Sir Wil- fred Laurier, Mr. King was invited to stand again for York North in the election of 1921. He was victorious this time winning the riding with a majority of 1,055. In the 1925 election the riding was the scene of a bitter struggle when former provincial member T. Her- bert Lennox accepted the federal Conservative nom- ination and then went on to defeat Mr. King by 494 votes. A colourful campaigner the redoubtable Herb. Lennox managed to hold the riding for the Tories until his death in 1934. In the 1926 election in an- other close struggle Mr. Lennox defeated Liberal Harry Sifton of the famous newspaper publishing family by 300 votes.

They were so exub-‘ erant that in their excitement they managed to smack his young sconce hard against a goal post. Despite the obvious pain he seemed to be enjoying the whole thing. Hornet play- ers, understandably glum at first were quick to offer their congratulations to the entire Leamlngton squad. Coach Methe opined that: they were the unfortunates who won the battle but lost the war. Throughout the game the Hor- nets enjoyed a marked territor- ial edge in the play but were unable to finish off plays in the goal area. Every member “HOME PAPER OF THE DISTRICT SINCE 1878” member of the Mulock fam- ily entered the fray. In this election Mr. Lennox was ag- ain victorious defeating Bill Mulock by 298 votes. In the by-election of 1934 following Mr. Lennox‘s pass- ing York North went Liber- al and was to remain that way until the Diefenbaker sweep of 1957. Mr. Mulock JACK SMITH MP 1945 - 1957 The mill rates on public. high‘ schools and county council for 1963 are as follows with last year's rates in brackets. resi- dential 60.32 (56.99) and com- mercial and industrial 66.88 (61.57). In effect this means that about 58 per cent of Rich- mond Hill taxes will be allo- cated to pay for high school and public school costs and a- bout 1699 per cent will be lused to defray the cost of coun- ty council. Roughly 25 per cent of collected taxes will remain for general operating purposes. Total estimated expenses for 1963 were in the amount of $1,398,432.02 but this total was pared by some $36,000 during a review of the estimates. Among submitted estimates tabled at the meeting and which were reduced by coun- cil were maintenance of muni- cipal buildings, repairs and maintenance, reduced by $500; fire department reduced from $19,890 to $19,790; public works reduced from $219,174 to $217,- 299; recreation and community services decreased from $75,- 745 to $55,576; and social wel- fare services from $20,900 to $20,700. Two of the most strongly de- bated issues at the council meeting were the estimates for the library and park mainten- ance both coming within recre- ation and community services. 'An all day special session of Richmond Hill’s Council brought in a budget for 1963 that will set a residential mill rate of 19.09 mills and a com- mercial and industrial mill rate of 21.83 mills for the current year. In the residential category this means a reduction of .19 mills from last year’s 19.28 mills and in the commercial and industrial category it means a reduction of .13 mills from last year’s mill rate of 21.96. The foregoing rates will be applied in use to general municipal purposes. Submitted estimate for the library in the amount of $33,890 was strongly op- posed by Councillor Al White who was of the op- inion that the salary port- ion of this figure which, he pointed out, approximated nearly 50 per cent of the total budget was away out of line. Councillor White queried the justification of salary increments of $300 to the librarian and assistant librarian. Also coming under some criti- cism was the recently es- tablished $1,000 record col- lection at the library. redeemed the riding for the Liberals in 1934 with a ma- jority of 3,687. He was again re-elected in 1935, and in 1940 with comfortable ma- jorities of 4,342 and 1,824 respectively. In 1945 Col. Mulock retir- ed for health reasons and former party secretary and president Jack Smith, pub- lisher of this newspaper, ac- cepted the Liberal nomina- tion. In the 1945 election he won the riding with a maj- ority of 1.223. In that elec- tion Mr. Smith and present Senator David Croll in Spa- dina were the only two Lib- erals elected in the Toronto and Yorks. In 1948 Prime Minister King retired and Louis St. Laurent was elect- ed national leader. In the 1949 general election Mr. Smith was re-elected with a record majority of 4,504. Redistribution in 1952 and the creation of the new rid- ings of York-Scarboro and York Centre saw York North cut in half in size. Mr. Smith was re-elected in 1953 with a majority of 1,633.
