At long last the construction and paving of Yonge Street north of Elgin Mills has been completed except for the erâ€" ection of signs. Sod has been laid at all private residences and grass seed sown on the other banks. All entrances pre- viously paved have been resur- faced and the final effect is of a vastly improved road in just a little less than two years ago. Unfortunately, in spite of all‘ the improved corners. lights and islands at Elgin Mills Road, there have been two or three minor accidents at that point. Been away on a summer vac- ation?

Fred Jackson returned to St. John‘s Anglican to celebrate Holy Communion and preach at the morning service. Next Suriday the service of morning prayer will have Leon~ ard Lomas officiating. The new font has been de- livered by the Exeter Furniture Company. Constructed of the same red oak and stain as the pews, it replaces the large stone font removed when the new carpet was laid prior to the in- stallation of the new pews.

But home owners in the com- pletely residential and school area have been asking in vain that a 30-mile-an-hour limit be strictly enforced. They said they have been told the 40 limit is to make the speed on Steeles uniform, but point out that the limit is 35 west of Yonge where there are fewer homes and many open spaces. The Brookman boy‘s constant companion Darrel Sturrock, also eight, of 14 Rayneswood in Thornhill, witnessed the acci- dent. He was a few feet behind Mathew and escaped uninjured. His parents. Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Sturrock and other neighbors of the Brookman's charge that the six-lane Steeles Avenue has been turned into a speedway by motorists who come down a steep grade east- bound between Yonge and Bay- view "at 60 miles an hour.“ Speed on that stretch was boosted to 40 miles an hour two Weeks ago after Metro took over jurisdiction. Parents of both boys said they had been warned many times not to cross Steeles. but> had taken a sudden notion to play in the Brebeuf College grounds opposite the Brookman home. When they got there they; saw a sign reading “privateL road“ and turned back. It was while 'they were trying to re-’ turn to the north side the ac- cident occurred. Mathew was thrown 60 feet by the initial impact, police said. into the path of a west- bound car on the other side of the centre line. The crossing is not at an in- tersection, but is mainly for the use of students attending Bre~ beuf. The S‘turrocks said the boys had been planning to spend the night together at the Brook~ mans and had made several trips back and forth between the two homes. Driver of the second car was Sernard Klieb. 56, of 225 Van Home Avenue. Police said the accident vic- lim was struck by an eastbound car in the passing lane near Lhe crosswalk on Steeles East. I Another vehicle had stopped in the curb lane as the boy and a companion were crossing Steeles just a few doors from the Brookman home. police said. Mathew was a grade 3 stu- dent at St. Luke’s Separate School in Thornhill and a star player on its tyke hockey team in the municipal league.

Many tent trailers Were in evidence, and some campers even slept in ordinary tents. The group from the United Kingdom, and there were 20 families of them, were in tents without floors. Beside the UK group there was one family from Japan, giving the big campout an international flavor. The “Instant City” included a large super- market, bank, police station. firehall and hos- pital. A large swimming pool that could accom- modate over 700 swimmers, complete with ten lifeguards, helped to cool the group off on hot days. The weatherman was very co-operative, and we had only about one minute's rain on two occasions in a week. 55 Denham Drive, Richmond Hill Camping isn’t what it used to be. This was clearly demonstrated at the National Campers and Hikers Convention in Brantford July 9 to 15. The campers rolled into Brant Park with trailers of considerable variety. Some of the units are compIete with gas stoves, refrigerators, bath tubs, flush toilets and television sets. The Richmond Hill Busy Bees, a recently formed chapter of NCHA, was represented at the convention by Mr. and Mrs. James Milne and family in their VW camper van, Mr. and Mrs. Alan Whaley in their tent trailer, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Houghton and family in their VW camper van, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Henty in their four wheel fully equipped trailer home, and Mr. and Mrs. Warren Bailie and family in their cabin trailer. Godson Michael Brown of Richmond Hill accompanied the Bailies. HAVE A BALL 16" Beach Ball. only at A&W! WARREN BAILIE The Busy Bees Chapter has about 12 fam- ilies as members, and hopes to double that number in time for the 1972 convention, which will be at Camp Atterbury, about 40 miles south of Indianâ€" apolis, Indiana. The campers from nearly all the 51 states and most of the Canadian provinces seemed to enjoy themselves. They competed in all kinds of games and contests during the week. The most popular contest was the “Miss NCHA Teen Queen” contest, and this year for the first time a Canadian girl was first runnerup. Miss Carol Weber of Texas was crowned queen. and a Nova Scotia girl, Nadean O’Hara, 17, was first runnerup. Third spot went to Rebecca Worth of Florida. The password for this year’s convention, the first ever held in Canada, was “Chime”, which is an Eskimo greeting meaning, “Welcome, friend". The Wandering Canadian Chapter from Gait won the award for the chapter with the best public service program over all other chapters from the US and Canada. The campers all try to live up to the motto of the association, “Campers are the friendliest people in the world”. The American visitors seemed unanimous in their praise of the way they had been welcomed by the Canadians. They had a good time and enjoyed themselves. Many of the trailers seen leaving the park for distant states had attached signs saying, “Thank you, Ontario, we sure had fun in ’71”.
