We got in the car and drove off, came back to get a wallet, got in the car and drove off. Only two hours from start to start. Bicycling is such a convenient means of transportation These items are all essential for biking These items took one hour to locate. Weleft the car part way downtown, and got on the bikes. We found the chain (which weighs only a few pounds more than both bikes together), and the padlock (whose com- bination I forgot in December), and the yellow card with the combination on it, and the back pack. In this year of celebration of the 25th anniversary of the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, I believe it would be well to recall Richmond Hill‘s associations with royalty and nobility in the past. William Harrison recorded that David Bridgford built a hotel northwest of Yonge and Centre Streets which catered only to officers and persons of high rank. He also wrbte that man)? titled persons stopped off in the Hill on their way to and from northern areas. I am very much inclined to agree with the Hill's early historian and second reeve since the Duke died of rabies in 1819. In the 19205 Edward VIII (the un- crowned king), while Prince of Wales, drove through Richmond Hill on his way to and from entertainment farther north. And of course there is the story of the visit by the Duke of Richmond, which Harrison did not believe since it did not surface until the 1880’s. The populace stood on the curbs of Yonge Street to cheer him as the car in which he_ was riding sweptAquickrly past. Then there was 1939, when the first reigning monarch to visit Canada, George VI accompanied by his consort Queen Elizabeth, arrived in Toronto on May 22. Hundreds of Richmond Hill residents greeted them there, some in veterans‘ The church building, whose construction the duke is reported to have admired, was not erected until 1821. The recommendation at the bottom of the report was read to him. There was more discussion about the shortcomings of Vaughan taxi licences and the recom- mendation for a two week licence suspension was passed unanimously. He may well have deserved to have his licence yanked. In summarizing the report, Robert Douglas. the deputy-clerk, told the committee that when two taxis showed up~ to have their meters sealed, Then Husovic- was handed the report which had condemned him. We found the bike rack and tried to put it on the new old car. However, the rack that is guaranteed to fit virtually every make and model of North American car does not fit our new old car any better than it fit our old old car. We put the bikes in the trunk and laughed off our skinned knuckles. For our first time out we decided to cheat a little, and drive part way there. We would save ourselves for the pleasant ride through meandering city side streets. All winter long, we‘ve talked about the rides we‘ll take. We even bought a copy of Bigycling inhToromo, complete with maps. By Sharon Brain Saturday the bicycle season officially began. Emil Husovic did appear before the Vaughan council in committee last week and tried to explain his predicament. The five councillors had a report on Mr. Husovic‘s business in front of them a report which Mr. Husovic did not have. “Mr. Emil Husovic is on deputation for Monday evening's meeting regarding 1977 taxi owner licences,“ said The Vaughan agenda. “A memo from the town deputy clerk has been included with the council com- mittee members’ agenda package with respect to this matter.” 0n the first long hill, my gears stopped §X Could ’ve been fair FISHER PRICE SPECIAL BASKETBALL BOWLING Reg. 15.99 Beg. 13.99 BIG AND SMALL ST'UFFED ANIMALS SALE 4 DAYS ONLY MAY 18, 19.20.21 Prince visited Z 5 interpreting the news yesterdays 2â€"hour start By Larry Johnston A GOOD SELECTION OF PLAYSCHOOL 8 TONKA $9.98 EA.

Included in the thousands was North York MP Col. William Mulock and the village’s Reeve J.A. Greene â€" and two pipers. Richmond Hill roses graced the state dinner in Ottawa. Provided by H.J. Mills, the local rose-growing firm, the bouquets included Joanna Hill and Talisman varieties. The same firm provided Pink Delight roses, a new variety, for the bouquet presented to Her Majesty by the City of Winnipeg. I will tell you more about that bouquet next week. Scheduled to pass through at 12:03, the train was only 10 minutes late.

Other crowds gathered at Vandorf and Gormley. But in Vaughan. the committee still plays Russian roulette with an applicant‘s planning decisions. The committee members hold the gun and only they know if it is loaded with enough ammunition to shoot a plan full of holes. Unless, of course. the applicant is bright enough to ask for a copy of what is being said about him. On our next excursion, we may go as far as Thornhili Pond.

I am cold. “The knife cuts two ways.“ If the staff recommends against a proposal and they are overruled by the committee. the public generally only finds out about the council decision.
