The story goes that the little ’cub made a mistake in the date of entry, when he first heard about the hobby show from his Akela, and whipped up the first batch of cookies 5 month too early. His mother explained that "you can't ‘keep the cookies around for a month." so he pass- ed them around for his family to eat. And speaking of cooking â€" one eight year old cub, who won first prize for his home baked cookies, really put forth quite an ‘effort’ before the seven judges â€" who included the women's editor of the Toronto Star Weekly â€" “tas- ted of his wares." Another prize-winning entry in the cooking class was a cake shap- ed and iced and decorated to repâ€" resent a cub's hat. Many other delicious looking cakes featured the fleur-de-lis. the arrowhead and scouting insignia.

This was the opinion of all Scout and Cub leaders (and the jubilant boys themselves) regarding the first Handicraft and Hobby Show of the York Summit District Boy Scouts Association, held in the Richmond Hill Lions' Hall last Saturday afternoon. ’ The winning troop with most awards won was the lst Oak Ridg- es Scout Troop with a total of 31 points. Winning Pack was the lst King “A” Cub Pack with 34 points. 480 entries were received and everyone of them represented some boy’s “Do your best” con- tribution to an amazing display of talent and productiveness. Two sections were arranged: one for cubs. the other for scouts, with the cub section divided into two age-groups. Each section had 10 classes, touching on every hob- by a boy's busy mind and fingers enjoys making â€" from arts and crafts to cooking. An anonymous telephone call had been received from an angry woman complaining about tardy snow removal on Yonge St. The trustees felt that any one with a justifiable grievance should be willing to give their name. Keepâ€" ing up with the snow has been a big job this year. and Paul Saw- yer had been laid up on one of the worst days. Mr. Sumner re- ported that the temporary em- ployee is working out well. and the snow blower, loaned by the Department of Highways, has been a big help, especially on the Yonge St. hill. Another loan, a tank and trailer, solved the prob- lem of transporting water from the swimming pool to flood the rink. Nobody From Recreation Comm. Members of Thornhill Area Re- creation Committee had been in- vited to attend this meeting and the trustees expressed disappoint- ment when none showed up. The village has been paying for win- ter maintenance of the swimming pool, said Chairman Sumner, so that it would be available as a source of water and fire protec- tion. With a good hydrant now, at the corner of Yonge andd Centre, and others soon to be installed in York Summit Scouts' Handicraft-Hobby Show A Pronounced Success The hourly rate of pay for Paul Sawyer, village maintenance man was increased from $1.20 to $1.35. Another motion named Frank Tucker as trustees' appoin- tee on the library board for 1959- 60. After studying and discussing a statement presented by the Thornhill Library Board the trustees approved the levy of $2,500 for the Thornhill Library for 1959. “For it's size our library has one of the largest circulations in Ontario,” Mr. Sumner remark- ed. Snow Removal One letter read was from Markham Township asking the trustees to meet with township ofl’icials on Monday af- ternoon, March 2, to discuss the road paving program. An- other wa-s a notification that Markham Township bylaw 1737 had been approved by the Department of Highways. This bylaw prohibits parking on either side of Elgin St. and on the east side of Dudley Ave. The present “No Park- ing” signs on the west side of Dudley would be shifted, said Mr. Sumner. Estimating the levy for 1959 was the main business on the agenda at the monthly meeting of the Thornhill Village Trustees. held in the Thornhill Library on Thurs- day evening last. However. Trustees Alan Sumner, P. D. McTaggart-Cowan, and James Timmins first approved pay- ment of some bills for maintenance and repairs to village equipment, reviewed the correspondence and passed three motions. - Thornhill Trustees I959 Budget $18,504 February Meeting NEWMARKET â€" Local arena manager Stanley Smith is a pa- tient in York County Hospital following a heart seizure.

STOUFFVILLE : Town council has changed the date of the two annual tax payments. Taxes will now fall due on June lst and on November lst. Previously they fell due in September and Dec- ember. The joint effort of York Sum- mit Scouts. Cubs and executive was one of the most noteable events held in town for some time and, as promised â€" “if justified by attendance" -â€" it will become a yearly event. Mounted collections, included a 1781 coin and a Colonial Bank of Canada three dollar bill dated July 6, 1839, A Jamboree blanket, composed of squares from every country, collected by a Scout at the World Scout Jamboree held in England last summer, was a work of art. as was a ranger sta- tion (complete to the last detail with a compass in the ranger's tower hutt. thing from Indians and knights to boats, trains and ’planes being displayed on the long trestle tables all up and down the hall. Basing their estimates on last year's expenditures and the known needs for this year, the trustees drew up the following budget for 1959: grants $100., pool and park $2,400, legal $500, Administration $500., Insurance $200, miscellaneous $375, gar- bage $4,000, new equipment and maintenance $1,000, roads and sidewalks $1,100, road oil $1,600., gravel $500, grading $250, h’way snow removal $100, sanding $150, repairs to John St. $600., road In- bour $11500, lighting $1,129, Thornhill library $2,500; for a total of $18.504.

Trustee McTaggart-Cowan sug- gested that if funds permitted, an asphalt sidewalk or footpath should be laid on Arnold Avenue between Brook St. (the village limit) and Yonge, because he felt that when Arnold Ave. was paved there would be a great deal more traffic near the school, Mrs. Lam- bert. the secretary. was instruct- ed to write to Supervising Prin- cipal E. J. Sand, Chairman of the Child Safety Committee to ask on which side of the street it should be placed. Mr. Sumner said he hoped it would be poss- ible to spend a couple of hundred dollars to put the small park in the Ball Subdivision in better condition. Apart from cutting the weeks once-a year, it has had no attention, and though nicely lo- cated on the brow of the hill ab- ove the Thornhill Golf Club, is little better than an eyesore at present. ’59 Budget been set‘ Date of the March meeting of the villgge trustees has nomyet essary. and some adjixstmreiht should be made between the vill- age and the T.A.R.C. the vicinity. this is no longer nec‘ STOUFFVILLE : Mr. Joseph Martens. a life-long resident of the town. passed away in his 915t year. following a stroke. 0f fine stature and excellent health.

Scott, council has turned down a sug- gested increase in dog pound fees from $1.00 to $5.00. Reeve Scott maintained it was the duty of the dog catcher to restrict the number of dogs running at large. Such an increase would be hit- ting at the boy and his dog claim- ed the reeve. _ The warden drew attention to the fact that the deficit was an Reeve Armstrong spoke on the amount and said he was not pre- pared to vote for the larger am- ount until he had seen a state- ment from the hospital. He thought that some $14,000 would be recovered from the munici- palities. Council reduced the amount to be paid for the Newmarket Hos- pital deficit, from $28,000 to $14,000.

An amount of $22,000 had been submitted by the Commit- tee, but only $16,000 was allowed by the finance committee. Reeve Luck of Newmarket supported the larger figure but council ad- opted the report without a change in this item. Richmond Hill’s share of the York County 1959 budget will be $103,547.30, it was reported at the final meeting of the January session held on Thursday of last > week. The minister preached to a capâ€" acity congregation on the subject, The King and His Church, basing his remarks on the words of Je- sus to Peter. “Thou art Peter. and upon this rock I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."

It took a bit of enquir- ing to discover that Trustee Allan Sumner has been mainly respons- ible for supervising the operation of the rink. that we are indebted to Mr. and Mrs. T. Stothers for the music. and to Vaughan Town- ship police for turning out the lights at night. The Beamish Con- struction Co. also gave a helping hand by loaning a tank and trail- er to transport water to flood the rink. » Scouts On the three rinks there has been plenty of room for snow- suited tots making their first wobbling glides, for energetic young hockey players. and for plain and fancy skaters. On Sat- urdays and Sundays whole fam- ilies arrive by car and there are often three or four hundred people on the ice, a gay and col- orful scene. By Doris M.

Mr. Sumner mention- ed that he had seen a homemade apparatus used very effectively on a similar rink in a Kitchener park. and thought it might be possible to try something the same here next year.
