Clarkson, Deputy Min- Cz ister of Economics and Devel- 00 opment said that if the calibre th of management was any crit- pc erion on which to base the suc- A1 fess of a company that Can- 51 adian Heat Treaters Limited th could look forward to a long 0 and successful business life. He was referring to J. G. Lorriman, president of the company and J. P. Clair, vice- resident through whose ef- rts the new Canadian plant was brought into existence. Both men are dedicated steel men with many years of ex- perience in the business and. local Plant Is Producing‘ Heat Treated Steel Allow SENIO.

The steels now being pro- duced by Canadian Heat Treat- ers are a comparatively new development. Introduced a few years ago into the United States they are technically known as ‘low carbon weldable alloy steels'. Several varieties of the steels have been devel- oped but there are two main ‘ Lisa Jackson as Eustasla} came through with a good per- formance as the cloying min- istering angel. and Craig Sully fitted easily into the role of . Nicholas. types both of which are now being produced at the Rich- mond Hill plant of Canadian Heat Treaters. Distribution of the new steels is being made by the Dominion Bridge Company. Under the terms of an agree- ment recently signed with Can- adian Heat Triaters, the ware- house division of Dominion Bridge becomes the sole sales representative for the supply of the new steels. The drama group of the Richmond Hill High School, un- der the direction of N. Roy Clifton, presented a very ef- fective production of “The Dover Road" by A. A. Milne, in the school auditorium, on Thursday and Friday evenings last week. The new Richmond Hill plant will be capable of sup- plying the total projected Can- adian market for the special alloy steels being produced. Thursday evening the attend- ance was not as good as the performance warranted. A full house might have overcome the slight self-consciousness of the players evident in the early minutes of the first act. As the play progressed the actors seemed to gain confidence and aplomb, and by the time the curtains closed for the last time were quite in command of the play and their audience. R.H.H.S. Presents ‘D‘over Road' Play George Neal made a com- petent butler and projected his voice well. This member of the audience found it difficult at first to hear Stephen Best who played the role of Leonard. By the second act his voice had im- proved considerably, and he turned in a quite adequate per- formance. Jane Clifton as Anne proved that she could be both vixenish and vivaciously flirtatious, mak- ing the stage character come alive. Lawrence Brice played the part of Latimer with a con- fident manner. He was debon- air and suavely confident. Walk-on parts were handled capably by Douglas James, Da- vid Pollard as the footmen, Sharon Cowan and Louise Monks as maids. Joan Angus and Robert Thomson in f1eet~ ing appearances. Stage settings and lighting were carried out well by the students. but a little more lighting during Act 1 in the south-west comer of the stage{ would have eliminated thei harsh shadows which masked the faces of the players, hiding‘ them from the audience. By moving the table forward more room would have been pro- vided for members of the cast to move about without having to flatten themselves against the scenery. and would have given more smoothness to the performance.

The building covers an area of 15,000 square feet and is situated on a four-acre Vln'preparing for the 114th annual show, we thought our readers would be interested in a re- view of some of the events which have occurred during that period. «Writing in 1949 “Old Timer" told readers of “The Liberal” that in former years a grand- stand stood just south of the bowling green close to the nor- thern fence of the fair grounds. Under it sewing and fancy work and other easily movable ar- ticles were shown. There were repeated criticisms that the same articles came to the fair year after year; but one year the weather man stepped in and it rained a great part of the day; the floor of the grandstand was far from rainproof and much of the ladies‘ exhibits were never shown again at this or any other fair â€"â€" the rain fixed that. $16.50 cash or goods for t seniors, and $5.50 cash or goc for the juniors.

Liquor was sold on the grounds as well as in the three hotels then oper- ating. On fair day all the stalls and all the hotel shed room were occupied, besides horses were‘ ‘tied to the fences in the yards ‘behind the hotels, completely ‘filling them. In addition, al--' ‘most every stall. privately! ‘owned. houSEd horses of fairt‘ ;visitors. } The new fair grounds at one time boasted a race track one- third of a mile in circumfer- ence. and there were some very good trotting heats. A low picket fence at one time ran around the inside of the track. The following interesting items were culled from early issues of “The Liberal". When an 'annual event can boast of one hun- dred and fourteen years of continuous service to a communityâ€"it has become an integral part of that community. Thus the annualKSpring fair of the Richmond Hill Agricultural Society is part and parcel of the life of Richmond Hill and district. J.

That year Green River was winner, and in 1911 the Teston team came out on top. In 1913 baseball made its first appearance on the prog- ram.

Also attracting great interest was a Lloyd Automatic Stock Feeder which was on display for the first time. In 1896 the evening program featured an elocutionist, mind readers, comic vocalists, and Scottish dancers. In 1909 a new bu1lding was announced for the display of exhibits â€"- and a new grand- stand was first used by specta- tors at the sports events. In 1910 stabling was first Provided by the building which was destroyed by fire on Hal- lowe’en night, 1961. The same year a ladies' driv- ing event was introduced and proved popular for many years. Only a few years ago this event drew many entrants on each fair day. In 1911 a Punch and Judy show and Scottish piping and dancing were features of the afternoon show. iii; iélb eVening perform- ance was disturbed by unruly boys with firecrackers. In 1897 the Ancient 0r- der of Foresters of Toron- to ran an excursion to the fair on the Metropolitan Street Railway and special sports were held for these visitors. Changing times have brought changes to the program for the annual spring fair, but the exec- utive and committees in charge of this year‘s show promise every person who attends a really enjoyable day at the fair. JAMES P. CLAIR. Vice President Canadian Heat Treaters Sea Cadet Sailing Ship‘ Docked In City Monday A two-masted brigantine will soon grace the Toronto water- front. when the Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps welcomes its ship the “Pathfinder.” Monday, the hull of the ship was launchâ€" ed at Kingston where it was built. Sometime about June 1.! it will sail into Toronto harbour‘ to be greeted by a parade and1 reception. and begin its service in the training of boys to de- velop self-reliance, character and courage. The day this beautiful ship, which will carry a total sail} area of 2274 square feet, comes into Toronto'Harbour will be a proud and happy one for Mr. J. G. Lorriman, a newcomer to Richmond Hill, although not to the sea cadet movement. Mr. Lorriman can be found at the Canadian Heat Treaters new plant on Newkirk Road, which is the first plant in the British Empire to turn out hardened steel by a new method. Joining Mr. Lorriman in ce1-‘ ebrating will be David Ellison of Maple Avenue. and Leading‘ Cadets Don Reesor, Jamie Ma- canuel. John McCallum and Don DeBaeremaeker. and Able‘ Cadet Larry DeBaeremaeker. who are all members of the crew of the Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps Ontario. which meets weekly in North Toronto. Learning of the “St‘ Law- rence II", a lovely brigantine which sails out of Kingston, Ontario, as a training ship for sea cadets Mr. Lorriman rented the ship for a few days in 1961 so that some Toronto sea cadets could experience a few days on a square rigger. Seeing at first hand what a wonderful training the sea cadets in Kingston were getting, he determined that groups interested in matters of the sea in the Toronto area should not be deprived of the opportunity of getting such a wonderful training. A group of interested people met and formed what is now Toronto ‘Brigantine Incorporated. a leg- ‘ally constituted corporation or- ganized by the government as a tax deductible charitable or- ganization. Its letters patent state that its purpose is to train youths in the essentials of leadership, discipline and good citizenship and objects which are beneficial to the communâ€" ity. Liquor outlets in Vaughan Township are totally unnecessary. The costs attendant to the additional services created by alcohol are at least two and one half times greater than the revenue received from legal sales at all levels of government. The Privy Council of Canada has termed liquor “A dangerous substance." (Dr. Joslyn Rogers, Ontario Provincial Pathologist, says, “Drunkenness has succeeded war as the most wasteful scourge of modern time”) This is our greatest social problem. One hundred thousand alcoholics in Ontario are being followed by five thousand more every year. Each of these adversely affects the lives of four or five other people. ' The Children’s Aid Society care for 15,000 (fifteen thousand) children in Ontario. Eighty per cent of these are attributable to alcohol. Alcohol is involved in approx. 45% of fatal traffic accidents in Ontario. Nine out of ten murders are the result of drunken brawls. About one half of our jail population are there because of liquor. Who will profit if Vaughan gets liquor outlets? Do I want an outlet near my home? Will this contribute to our juvenile crime problem? Will this contribute to the ever increasing number of drinking drivers on our already constitutes a grave hazard? Will a liquor store which also sells beer and wine. and dining room lounges help and make my community a better place to live? Does the liquor seller care for our homes. our needs, our children, their future we This is a moral issue! In the name of all that is good; for the sake of a good conscience; and for the good of all other.
