As your readers will un- derstand, trying to cover every house and apartment in Richmond Hill is no easy task. and although we may not have achieved a 100 percent coverage, we came close to it. We enjoy our outhouses‘. here is no waiting in line. This cartoon showed a ‘great deal of discrimination itowards the people of this area and their homes. iObviously you don‘t ap- ‘preciate us. However, may I remind ‘you this matter wasn’t in- troduced to the people of this area by vote. Before the Town of Rich- mond Hill “adopted” us, I had received the idea many people liked it very much the way it was! “Dear” Editor: Concerning your so-called cartoon in the May 14 edition, about the Lake Wilcox area, I think it was downgrading the com- munity.

Of course. this may be due to the fact we have not covered them as well as we should have, and if this is so. and if they would still care enough to make a donation, large or small, we would be very glad to receive it at 10212A Yonge Street, Rich- mond Hill, Ontario, L4C 336. This year‘s cancer campaign has gone well in spite of “competition” from the hospital fund raising efforts (another very worthy cause) and the generosity of the residents of the Hill has been quite heartwarming. GERRY CRACK, President. 10212A Yonge Street, Richmond Hill, Ont. I wish 1 could say the same for the local business, in- dustry and professional fraternity, who, in spite of an increase in numbers, have donated a good deal less than last year. You’ll have an identification card which allows you to cash a personal cheque, up to 3100, at any of our 1600 Commerce branches in Canada. If you write ten or more cheques a month, consider a Commerce Key Account. Because at 16¢ each, ten cheques already cost you $1.60. That’s for the cheques you write, period. But an extra 90é makes it a whole different story. With a Commerce Key Account you can get a preferred rate on most consumer loans, (and that’s a nice thing to remember). You can get this summer’s travellers’ cheques for no extra service charge. The May meeting of the UCW was held in the Sunday school room Wednesday evening of last week, with Mrs. Earl Empringham in charge. The worship service was conducted by Mrs. Empringham assisted by Mrs. Richard Frisby. Mrs. Norman Bell and Mrs. The annual memorial service will be held at Victoria Square United Church June 1, at 11:30 am, with the Rev. Victor Shepherd in charge. There will also be special music. Following the service a pot luck luncheon will be held in the Sunday school room. Beverages will be supplied. Everyone welcome. Rehearsal The next rehearsal for the choir that will be singing at the united service June 8 will be held June 3 at the church. UCW Fair princess (YESTERDAYS -§ James Stewart and John Wesley had been driven from Etobicoke by one James Watson and had checked into Simmons‘ Hotel Tuesday, indicating they intended to stay overnight. The quarrel which led to the fatal shooting started at Collins’ Hotel, where the three strangers and Arnold met. Arnold fell, seriously wounded. and despite the efforts of Drs. George and Lewis Langstaff of Richmond Hill and Dr. Aikins of Toronto, passed away at 5 o'clock Wednesday. We regret that the name of the first runner-up in the Fair Queen contest was given incorrectly last week as Judy Godson, 18. It should have been Judy Godsman. Wesley commenced the row, according to a witness, by striking Arnold on the nose and a scuffle ensued. Stewart took his revolver in his hand and threatened to shoot Arnold and Frank Huff who was also present. Hotly pursued Arnold got away and ran up the road to Simmons’ Hotel, followed by Huff and hotly pursued by the three men from out of town. The Village of Thornhill was thrown into a state of shock February 3. 1885, when the news circulated that young John Arnold had been murdered. Wesley asked Arnold to go into Simmons and have a drink with them. Once inside Wesley took off his overcoat and as Arnold was ridding himself of his outer garment struck him, while Stewart, pistol in hand. stood about four yards away, Huff told the magistrate the next morning. Fired gun Huff picked up a piece of wood and hit Stewart over the head and Stewart fired. BANK OF COMMERCE Special memorial service music 1885 murder shocked Thorn/till Village CANADIAN IMPERIAL Did you know that the Victoria Square District Lions Club has donated $500 to Mrs. and Mrs. Turner and family of Gormley, who were burned out in April. The Lions have also pledged $500 each year for the next three years to York Central Hospital, Richmond Hill Neighborhood notes A speedy recovery is wished for Mrs. Frank Brumwell who underwent surgery in York Central Hospital last week. Harold Hill. The film, “Heritage 75" was shown, relating the past 50 years of the United Church, which was very much enjoyed. Clean-up bee A clean-up bee will be held at the cemetery May 30 after supper, in preparation for the annual memorial service June 1. Lions And that’s not all. There is no service charge when you use 24-Hour Cash Dispensers, you’ll get special cheques, money orders, domestic drafts, and a whole raft of other services. All for a flat $2.50 a month. Or, in your case, maybe 900 more than you are paying now for cheques alone. But hold on. We don’t think everybody should get a Commerce Key Account. If you’re not writing ten or more cheques you could be wasting your money. Aid- that’s exa'ctly what a Commerce Key Account doesn’t want you to do. Victoria Square Correspondent: Mrs. W. Sandie RR 2, Gomley 887-5421 Armed villagers The two ran down the sideroad to Bathurst Street where they were overtaken by an armed party of villagers, in a sleigh. Young John Arnold was on a visit to his mother and sisters from the Canadian North West, at the time of the murder. To accomplish his purpose Wesley fired three shots without effect and then threw his gun away. They then started up Yonge Street and Wesley, revolver in hand, attempted to force a teamster to provide them with transportation. At the sight of the frowning muzzles of two guns, the fugitives surrendered, and were brought back, ironed together, to the village. The Liberal described Stewart as about 40 to 45 years of age, with the appearance of a cold-blooded, hardened rascal. "His features are repulsive, the mouth and teeth brutal in the extreme, forehead low, eyes light blue, and almost ex- pressionless”. The prisoners were committed for trial and were taken to Toronto Wednesday morning. Investigation was carried on before Magistrate Chapman, Toronto. In May, a brief news item in The Liberal stated the trial would take place the next week â€" and after that nothing. Immediately after the shot was fired, Wesley and Stewart ran to the hotel stables and demanded their rig. Burglar tools When searched. a kit of burglar‘s tools was found in his possession. But they were refused by Mr. Simmons Sympathy is extended to Mr. and Mrs. David Houck and boys in the passing of Mrs. Houck‘s mother, Mrs. Tasker.
