To it the farmers brought their old plowshares which were melt- ed down and reforged into new plowshares. The ex- change rate was one new share for three old ones. The photographer climbed to some height to get a pic- ture of fair day on the Rich- mond Hill Park. Prominent in the picture is a half mile track for horse races which In early days, Mr. Barker said he had been told a large sawmill was located on the south side of Vaughan Road, powered by water from the pond, and at later dates farmers brought their grain for grinding to a mill located there, In the autumn wagonloads of apples were brought 'to a mill on the pond to be pressed into ap-‘ ple cider. wooden two storey verandah and across the road the Trench Carriage Works and the Dominion House, the old hotel which was recently de- molished to provide parking space for the new Richmond Inn.

Since feature productions in Canada have to be done with public funds, either through the National Film Board or by sub- sidy of private enterprise, the film presents an opportunity for the taxpayers to see just what we are able to produce. On the same program are “The Sound of a City" dealing with other groups similar to the‘ Beatles in England, but less? famous. and “Man of Music". a sketch in film of Dr. Healeyj Willan. I The picture tells the story of a teen-age boy who quarrels with his parents (not entirely his fault), fails his grade 13 examinations and leaves home. The teen-age dialogue is be- lievable and the two teen-agers, acted by Peter Kastner and Julie Biggs are convincing Can- adian young people. The boy gets himself into serious trouble, however and there is much material for discussion in the film as to whether this could have been avoided by something on the part of the boy himself or by his parents. ‘ “Nobody Waved Good-bye", made by the National Film Board and set in Toronto will be the 20th in the “Films of Note" series presented by the‘ Library Club of Richmond Hill High School and to be Show Thursday, January 14 at the Richmond Theatre.
