Or about the Frenchman and the Newfie who were in a plane crash 6,000 feet up? Guess who hit the ground first? The Frenchman! The Newfie got lost on the way down. ‘ Seneca King Richard, cook at the Am- bassador Motor Hotel Steak House, is a man of many jokes and among his recent chuckles were two (what else?) Newfie jokes. Did you hear about the Newfie who was kicked out of the submarine service of the navy? He liked to sleep with the windows open! After returning from a rather hum-drum business trip last week, I went through the usual Terminal 2 exer- cise at the Airport, found my car in that monstrous park- ing lot, and approached the check-out cashier. Out popped the one arm of the cashier, belonging to a dark-skinned girl with a smile of bright white teeth. As I gave her my parking stub I said, “Your hand must get awfully cold” to which she replied “No”. Being a male chauvinist, I persisted by remarking, “Gee, I was going to hold your hand to warm it up". She in turn retorted “Thanks”, but its my legs that get cold!" With a returning smile I said “Forget it” and drove away. Remember to keep the date of February 19 open for the Lions' annual oyster supper at All Saints Anglican.

Lions King City Lions under President John Jones had a very successful 1973. friends former Mr. Farquharson sought support for his proposal from the traffic. transportation and fgrking committee December This service is provided under contract by Travelways. Fares collected pay for one- third of the cost. the town pays one-third and the prov- ince pays one-third, as it picks up one-half the deficit on municipal transportation. Regional Councillor Lois Hancey commented that she was voting for the motion not because she favored a monopoly, but because she did not wish to jeopardize the operation of the town- subsidized bus route now serving Oak Ridges and Lake Wilcox. Richmond Hill Council de- cided unanimously at its Jan- uary 8 meeting to opDose the annlication of the Aurora Bus Lines to extend into the Oak Ridges-Lake Wilcox area of this town. A public hearing called by the Ministry of Transportation and Commun- ications was held January 14 at which this opposition would be voiced. The decis. ion came on a motion by Councillor Graeme Bales, chairman of council’s traffic. transportation and parking committee and Councillor David Stephenson. Mr. Bales reported that the application would also be opposed by the Gray Coach (on behalf of the GO Tran- sit). the TTC and Travelways. Ron Farquharson, owner of Aurora Bus Lines also seeks to extend his bus service up Yonge Street to the Upper Canada Mall (to be opened this spring). If the cost of |bhe Labor, which was donated to the Lions, is deducted. the club was still better than its word and its contribution to pro- viding an attractive meeting place for the community cost $18,955.50.

Hope you are all up and about again soon. King Council is rather slow this year in posting the signs listing dates and times of council meetings. Is there that little public interest in these meetings that they think no one cares? For shame! All Saints annual pancake supper will again be held on Shrove Tuesday, February 26.
