3 on MONDAY and TUESDAY â€" 8 AM. to 9 PM. There has been a vast change in shopping facilities on Yonge Street during the past seven years. Com- petition for the retailing dollar has become extremely keen. At a time when almost everyone owns a car, people don’t have to shop in an area where they are required to pay for parking space. And what is worse, they run the risk of having to pay a police fine if they over-park. During the past few years dif- ferent councils have promised action on Yonge Street. We have had re- ports like the Potvin report, rede- velopment committees, parking au- thorities, and the latest suggestion by our planning director for a tunnel under Yonge Street. Yet no council Thousands of Canadians spend all or part of the summer at a sum- mer home. It can be a palatial affair with running water, electric- ity and room for the family and mobs of weekend friends. Or it can be a shack or a tent and sleeping bags. Whatever it is, it’s “The Cot- tage”. “The Camp”, or “Up at the Lake.” Whatever its name it is a beloved spot even with all the inconveniences imaginable. Many drownings take place when people cease to use common-sense in boats. ApprOvéd life preservers should be wOrn whenever small boats are used. Unskilled operators should not be permitted, and horse- play in a small boat should be prohibited. Poison ivy is another, perhaps lesser but very uncomfortable, By a vote of four to three Rich- mond Hill Town Council has decided to retain the parking meters on Yonge Street until at least the $1,500 still owing against them has been paid. Only Mayor William Neal, Reeve Floyd Perkins and Councillor Alex Campbell supported their re- moval. The meters were installed on Yonge Street in 1956 at a time when business conditions for merchants in that area were altogether different to those of today. Mr. Taylor‘is a county appoint- ment as was Mr. Lundy. Messrs. Leslie and Bales are appointed by Metro and Mr. Miller was named by the province. The county and Metro Cottage living has its hazards. Always there’s water. If stream or lake is used for drinking purposes, it should be tested by health authori- ties every year. If this is not feas- ible, water for the table or cooking should be boiled for about five minutes. If it then has a flat taste, it can be aerated by pouring from one vessel to another. Another water hazard is the danger of drowning. Where water is the chief attraction, the ability to swim i essential. Knowledge of artificial respiration is also neces- sary. Life has been brought back to apparently drowned victims who have been in the water for as much as half an hour. York County has announced it will fill the vacancy on the Toronto and York Roads Commission at a special meeting of county council to be held this Friday. Mr. Fred Lundy of Newmarket a senior member of the commission recently passed on necessitating a new appointment. The other members of the commission are, former provin- cial member, J. A. Leslie of East York, former warden and Richmond Hill reeve, 1W. J.- Taylor, Earl Bales of North York, and E. M. Miller of Toronto.

Parking Meters 'I'Il. 4-1105 or AV. 5-3316 THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday, June 27, 196_3 Canadians Are Cottagers Commission Appointment "Authnri7pd as sec-0nd ciass mail. Post Office Department. Ottawa" EXTENDED WANT AD SERVICE We liberal The deciding factor in council’s decision was the $1,500 still owing on the meters. This $1,500 is a very small sum in relationship to the steady loss in Yonge Street com- mercial assessment the town is suf- fering every day. The latest assess. ment figures show Richmond Hill has a residential as3essment of 79 per cent and only 16 per cent com- mercial and 5 per cent industrial. Council would be well advised to protect and encourage what little commerical assessment the town has, rather than preserve such nuisances as parking meters which only serve to diseourage business in one of its highest commercial assessment areas. representatives can select the pro- vincial appointment provided they can agree on a name. If they are unable to agree then the province will make the appointment. If county council selects a pres- ent member of a municipal council then that person must resign from council. A person cannot serve on both council and a roads commission. Among those mentioned as pos- sible successors are Deputy-reevo Charles Hooper of Markham Town- ship, former Reeve Fred Armstrong of Woodbridge, former Warden and Reeve Joseph Fry of Markham Vil- lage, and former Warden and Reeve William Hodgson of King Township, and former Warden and the present Reeve of Sutton, William Sellers. hazard at a summer cottage. A use- ful little jingle to help you recognize this plant is “Leaflets three, let it be.” If there is any suspicion that a member of the family has walked through or touched leaves or stem of poison ivy, quick washing with strong household soap or detergent will help to remove the poisonous oil that causes the trouble. Rabies is another danger. Dogs are particularly susceptible and if the family dog and cat are sharing the country vacation, they should be inoculated against rabies. The dog whose tendency is to chase everything should be kept under control. Children should be caution- ed about touching strange animals, dead or alive. The Yonge Street business section is an extremely high assessment area and a large source of taxation to our municipality. Council had an opportunity to further protect that investment by removing the parking meters which are a detriment to the merchants. Unfortunately, a ma- jority of council acted in a negative way. In doing so, council saw fit to ignore the petition of 32 Yonge St. merchants asking for their removal. has ever presented a workable solu- tion to the problems affecting this important area. Prepare for anything in the way of accidents: have a well-stocked first-aid kit, with additional items such as sharp small wirecutters with which the barbs of fish hooks can be snipped off if they have entered the flesh; suntan lotion and sun- glasses. The cottage garbage should not be left where it can attract raccoons or skunks, both animals being par- ticularly susceptible to rabies. Milk could be the cause of undul- ant fever, bone tuberculmis, and other ills if it is not pasteurized. Unpasteurized milk can be made safe by heating the milk to simmer- ing point â€" not boiling - and then cooling quickly. Powdered milk is a. boon since it does not require refrigeration and is easily made up as needed. grand, jAoquld o Relatively By Junior A CORNER OF CHICAGO. by Robert Andrews (Little- Brown).

In his new book, George Turner applies his tal- ents to the difficult field of mental illness. The story he- gins in an Australian mental home: Harry White. has been a voluntary patient for six years and is on the point of return- ing to normal life. Gradually. through a developing series of incidents and conversations, the reader is led to an understand- ing of the stresses in Harry's past life which led to his break- down, notably his complex re- lationship with his wife and her sister. One also begins to understand how the devoted work of the director of the in- stitution had been able to bring Harry back to a normality which is immediately threaten- ed by the lack of understand- ing on the part of the people he meets in the outside world.

This is the personal re- cord of a Canadian naval com- mander through the worst years of the struggle against the U-boats in the Atlantic dur- ing the second World War. From small pre-war beginnings, the Royal Canadian Navy grew to a major force during the conflict, and this first-hand ac- count is a tribute to the great part Canadians played in guarding Atlantic convoys and meeting the submarine menace.
