The Saturday morning pro- gram at the library on January 15 was called "Very, Very Small â€" Strange Adventures." Mrs. Gillian Ball. well known for her activities with the Aur- ora Drama Group, told the chil- dren about the book called the “Borrowers,” written by Mary Norton, published by Harcourt, Brace and World Inc. Mrs. Ball told the story with great expression and with a clear, English voice. She had everyone listening intently when she exclaimed “there's mice all dressed up under the floor," referring to the dis- covery of the little people. Chief Librarian Mrs. Bernice Ellis, told about Gulliver‘s Travels and the little town of Lilliput. In describing Gulli- ver’s assistance in defending Lilliput from a naval attack, Mrs. Ellis used a small model of a boat for the children to 560.

His comments came Mon- day night of last week as council worked its way through the proposed new bylaw which has still to be given third reading. The bylaw covers every- thing from whistling Dixie to the sounding of bells. Also covered are roaring cars or ski-docs, and play- ing music too loudly. Community Life In King City Area The rather touchy portion of the bylaw lies with the qualifying phrases.

Church News ratt giving the youngsters dir- ection. In true ecumenical fashion, the clergy, choir and congrega- tion of All Saints Anglican joined that of King City United on Sunday, for a joint service of worship. with Miss Mary Mc- Whir at the organ. Officiating were the clergy of both chur- ches. Rev. Neville Bishop and Rev. Norman Gibson. Special guest was Dr. Stanley Osbone. who headed the committee to produce a new joint hymn book for the Anglican and United Churches in Canada. A musical workshop was held in the afternoon at King‘ City United, with about 50 people turning out to learn about the new hymn book, The meeting‘ began at 2 pm with Rev. Gibson welcoming Dr. Osborne and in- troducing Mary McWhir who. accompanied the singing on the piano. Dr. Osborne said the new book is divided into three main sections, totalling 309 hymns. In comparing the Un- ited Hymnary and the Angli- can Hymn Book, the music com- mittee found 378 hymns were common to both churches. with ‘204 of them retained in this inew book. Anglicans should know 280 to 290 of the hymns and the Un- ited members should know 260‘ of them. There are apparently‘ 157 hymns not to be found in either of the old books and therefore new to both the Un- ited and Anglican members. The committee also found many tunes common to both churches had slightly different texts. This entailed a lot of research to locate the ‘original words as written by the composer or churchman. Dr. Osborne went on to say they would have liked to have 750 hymns in the new red-covered book, but the cost was prohibitive. With a message that hit “close to home,” Dr. Osborne pointed out the late Rev. David McGuire, rector of St. Mary’s Anglican in Richmond Hill, had done much towards the publica- tion of the new hymnal. Rev. McGuire was quite active in the church at a deanery level as well, and ‘had preached at All Saints in King just before his death in the fall of 1971. Among the many hymns Rev. David McGuire contributed to â€"- in adaptation or modification â€" was Number 123, the well known “Jesus Loves Me," in changing "for the Bible tells me so” to “and the Bible tells After speaking about each hymn of interest, Dr. Osborne had everyone in attendance sing a few verses. It sounded rather well, what with the choir mem- bers from a few of the local churches in the audience. The clear voice of Chris Ballard, who was sitting in the front row, delighted Dr. Osborne. Chris was consequently asked to stand and sing 3 Verse of Hymn 106 called “Lord Of The Dance,” with everyone else joining in with the refrain. Chris, 12 years old and winner of local festival awards for singing, also sang Hymn 4L2, “Twas In The Moon 0f Winter- time" written by the Jesuit missionary Jean de Brebeuf. dons with other harmonizations will shortly be available. Also to be published is a supplement soft cover book of 40 hymns with guitar chords, although Dr. You can do some of the above things as long as they don’t create an "unusual" noise, or disturb the peace, quiet and customary re- pose of any person." Such things as that. Mayor Mactaggart pon- dered as to how you would decide what constituted an unusual noise. “You take it to court.” commented one councillor. Mayor Mactaggart won< dared again how “you would prove the whole thing. How can you prove a noise is too loud? You might have to tape record it.” Council will discuss the bylaw further. SO. A meeting to organize an ev- ening unit of the UCW was held on Wednesday of last week at the home of Mrs. Thelma Hadwen on Banner Lane. Osborne does not feel that this book will be in use very long as some tunes go through fashions and are dated in their use. Its time once again for the annual vestry meetings of the churches. All Saints hold theirs this Sunday at 2pm beginning with coffee and dessert.

The Good Morning Group met at All Saints Anglican on Wednesday of last week and members were pleased to have Mary Elderkin show her slides taken in 1963. A tour she took included Warsaw, Moscow, Leningrad, Budapest and back to Frankfurt. Mary read ex- cerpts from her diary at that time which provided even fur- ther insight into the past. Although many years have passed since World War II, evi- dence of bombings was still to be seen. Drab colored clothing in Russia was very noticeable although everyone tried to have at least one bright spot of col- or, however small, on their person. At the meeting it was confirmed that King City UCW will join the GMG for a friend- ly meeting. Cub News The lst King Pack of the Wolf Cubs of Canada on Wed- nesday of last week held their kubkar rally. There were 31 Cubs racing their homemade wooden boxes (approximately 6” long) in the auditorium of King City United.

By FRED SIMPSON An Ontario Hydro official got a polite but firm brush- off Monday night of last week when he appeared be- fore King Township Council to clear up what he consider- ed to be some confusion over the proposed high voltage power installation through King‘s portion of the Region of York. The next cfibbage and euchre will be February 15 at 8 pm.

The newlyweds, Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Cramp, have returned back to Manitoba where they will set up housekeeping and resume their studies at the uni- versity. They don’t want any power line through the municipa- lity. Simple as that. They aon’t even want to talk about it anymore. “Why doesn’t Ontario Hy- dro just get on with the job. There's been enough talk.” muttered one councillor. Object of the council's cold shoulder was Ronald Miller, Ontario Hydro Property Ana- lysis Manager. who said he was "confused" about coun- cil’s feelings on the power line question. It was at a previous meet- ing that council voted 5-2 against the installation. It in- volves running a 500,000 volt line from Nanticoke on Lake and her daughters, Kim, Karey‘ and Linda; Mrs. Brenda Neil‘ and her children, Kevin and Debbie; Gerald Leger with his sons, Jerry and Harvey; Mrs. Dawn Willis with Richy and Lori; and Mr. and Mrs. Michael Munro with their son, Allen.

Miller said his interpre- tation of the resolution was that council favored a nor- thern route as a possible al- ternative to a southern route through the municipality. Councillor Murray Shear- down observed that “at no time did anyone suggest we favored the northerly route. This is what got us in trou- ble with Newmarket Council when it was mentioned we did favor such a route."

But if more people participate an exercise {TY leader will be present to in- struct in this form of healthful recreation. Anyone wishing further in- formation should contact Shir- ley Smith at 773-5754 or meet at the school any Thursday night at approximately 7:45. Mrs. Josie Fleming, senior clerk in charge of Wild Wood Branch of the Richmond Hill Public Library, and assistant, decided we don’t want the power line at all." Councillor Sheardown add- ed. “We're aware we have no choice on the site picked by Ontario Hydro.” Miller also ran into a blank wall on another question as to whether any of Hydro’s proposed routes would inter- fere \n‘th any planned de- velopment in the township. This brought Councillor Roy Wilson to the fore. He pointed out that any “state- ment from this council that the proposed route would in- terfere with planned develop- ment might be taken by Hy- dro, as a blessing to carry on.’ Councillor S h e a r d o w n wondered how “you define planned development? It doesn’t necessarily mean just what the municipality plans to do with the land. It could involve planned develop- ment by individual land owners.” Miller said the hydro studied the township’s Offi- cial Plan which showed no specific interference. He then asked that council draft RICHMOND HEIGHTS CENTRE, RICHMOND HILL Firestone STORES Three cycles. (1) Permanent press tumbles out wrinkles. (2) Select any time up to 140 minutes.

Miller said this was “to get something we can take back on paper." Mrs. Fleming spoke on the many library services available to local residents and noted that Wednesday opening hours would be changed to 10:00 am. to 11:30 am. and 12:30 pm. to 6:00 pm. effective immediately. Council didn’t want any- thing to do with this either. Mayor Mactaggart reitera- ted that the council had washed its hands of the mat- ter when it passed a resolu- tion opposing any hydro line. It was up to Mr. Miller to draw his own inferences and and conclusions. The hydro line has been a source of pro and con con- troversy between residents of the township. Opposition has been forth- coming from those fearing the aesthetic damage the line would do. Another fear is that it may lower property values for area properties. Those favoring the line have included the persons who stand to benefit from Hydro’s purchase of their land. They will still be able to use it after the line is up. The word for it all is “con- troversy.". STORES A Chance To Discuss 1Ward Five Problems The forthcoming meetings on the redevelopment study of the Lake Wilcox area was the main issue discussed at an executive council meeting of the Ward 5 Citizens’ Association on the morning of January 15. Bob Roth and Bob McElhin- hey are on the recently appoint- ed committee which will set the guidelines for the redevelop- ment study. It is hoped they will be able to relate to the Ward 5 citizens some of the ideas the committee will be dis- cussing. Other issues raised at the meeting were: the post office parking problem, the smell of the municipal water. house numbering, and a day care cen- tre in the new Town of Rich- mond Hill. Chairman Ron Johnson of the Ward 5 Citizens’ Association reported that “federal and pro- vincial representatives have ex- pressed interest in attending our meetings." Ken Acton, a student at Sen- eca College, was introduced to the executive. Ken is at present in a two-year social service course which requires that he do practical work in a comâ€" munity. He will be working in the Ward 5 area and is an as- set aVailable to some of the citizens' projects. A public meeting was tenta~ tively set for the first Thursday of February. If you have op- inions on any or all of the above issues, please attend this meet- ing and you will have the op- portunity to express them. If people get together and com- bine their Opinions and in- fluence there is more chance of these problems being resol- ved.
