Due to circumstances beyond our control, the column last week went missing. We hope you will forgive us. 7A e t..ll “no. . __. Time has again come full circle and we have celebrated another Vets Night and Remembrance Day. Annually members of the Royal Canadian Legion join in saluting veterans of all wars and honoring the memories of those who fell, never to rise. We of Branch 375 set a date each year during which time we toast the valor of the “old sweats” of WW1 and remember with reverence the illustrious ones who form the ever swelling ranks of the passing parade. This year Branch 375 doubly felt the meaning of remembrance. When we were toasting the “old sweats", many silent glasses were raised in memory of Comrade Ken Barrott who had passed away that morning, November 9. After a quiet social hour dinner was served. Comrade Bill MacPherson gave the blessing and the meal began. Following dinner, the head table was introduced. Among the honored guests were members of the Town Council (including Mayor and Mrs. William Lazenby), guest speaker Flt-.*Lt. (retired) E. Glover DFC, Major (ret.) Robt. McMeekin, president and members of the executive and their ladies plus other dignitaries too numerous to mention. The first highpoint of the evening has been reached â€" the introduction of all the “old sweats". During this period we fOund out that our oldest special guest is 92 years young while the baby of the crew is only 76. Not bad for a fine bunch of youngsters. May they ever heart. Major McMeekin was then called upon to in- troduce the guest speaker Flt-Lt. Ernie Glover, DFC. Mr. Glover lived up to his advance introduction. His speech was interesting, brief and to the point. At the close of Ernie's speech, he received a standing ovation. Well deserved too. Chris Ratchford 884-7030 By the by, did we tell you Mayor Lazenby turned over his chain of office for the evening to the first Town of Richmond Hill mayor William Neal. By now “The New Revue” have tuned up for their own version of a salute to the veterans and we are on our way. Time has passed and we are now having our pipe band favoring us with a parade. There is special interest in this band at the present time for we un- derstand that this is the first time that three generations of the same family have played together. Bass drum handled by Drum Major (ret.) Len Davidson, then Citizen planning survey old Richmond Hill village A survey of the old “village of Richmond Hill” in the area bounded by Mill. and Arnold Crescent, Yonge Street and the Mill Pond is being carried out at present by Douglas and Dorothy Pimlott, 65 Centre Street West, to determine the feeling of residents about the future of that area. In the memorandum to the residents of the south- west corner of the Old Village of Richmond Hill- (which accompanies a questionnaire), the Pimlotts state they have lived on Centre West since 1959 and bought their house because they were attracted by the village characteristics. “After 15 years, we continue to enjoy living in the area. We hope that ways can be found to meet traffic and drainage problems without making big changes in such things as the width and the look of streets.” THE LIBERAL, Wednesday, Nov. 20. 1974 They recall that just 10 years ago residents of this area strongly opposed and defeated a plan advanced by council for “improvement of streets and storm sewers". The proposal was to widen the streets to 28 feet (curb to curb) with a minimum road allowance of 48 feet. The entire width was to be “basically cleared of ob- structions". Studies by concerned residents showed that streets and allowances of this width would have had a devastating effect on the area and that 165 trees would have to be cut down. The 0MB agreed with them and. because of the“ great ‘ amount of opposition‘by the WW circumstances stay young in his son James as a drummer while his'son Lorne sides his father on the drums. We cannot do justice to the pride that these members instilled in all those present. The roof nearly took off with the cheers received by the band and these very special members. After going town‘s application The Pimlotts report that the intervening years have been filled with pleasant living for them. However, they realize that the town is changing dramatically around the old village, but not much has happened within it. “The streets and sidewalks have deteriorated and must soon be given more than token attention. The trees which border the streets are gradually dying and are being removed. A replacement program is needed." The Pimlotts believe that solving present and future problems will require both professional skills and active interest of residents. Therefore. besides asking for an expression of opinion from the residents on the future of this area of Rich- mond Hill, they are also asking for volunteers to serve on a citizens‘ advisory group. Les Girls of the Ladies Auxiliary of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 375 presented their annual entertainment for senior citizens the other day. _. - .. .-.. m- When the questionnaires are returned they will present the results to candidates for council and will ask them to make their viewpoints known before the election. As on past occasions it was a total success. Under the title The Happy Wanderers the evening’s entertainment took cast and audience around the world from Malton Airport visiting the USA, Arabia. Italy, Sicily, Holland, Flanders. Paris, England, Spain, Denmark, Berlin. MoscownJapan, Hawaii and back home. There were moments of nostalgia and moments of seriousness, but the Dr. E. C.

Sunday dawned cloudy and very cold. This is not ideal marching weather but we all will give it the college try. Forming up at Rich- mond Heights Centre we marched up Yonge Street to the Cenotaph. With Drum Major Len Davidson at its head, the bank kept up a brisk pace, which all marchers appreciated. The service at the Cenotaph was lengthy and very difficult to hear because of traffic movement behind the lines. has moved temporarily to ‘r soth of present location) After the service the marchers were paraded past St. Mary’s Church where Major Robert McMeekin took the salute.
