TOM MEX Also “In Essentials, Unity; In Non-essent ials, Liberty; In All Things, Charity.” The annual Sabbath School anni- versary and picnic was held on Saturday and Sunday last and from every standpoint was a very successful event. There was a splendid attendance and the program of sports was much enjoyed as was the evening entertainment and the services on Sunday. The picnic is an annual event which is looked forward to with interest and anticipation by a large number of residents of this district. Many old friends renewed acquaintances and a pleasant social time was enjoyed. The spacious and beautiful grounds of Thomas Klinck looked their best although the weat- her was not exactly suitable for the month of noses. In the evening enâ€" tertainers as well as the audience felt some what shivery but despite the inclement weather all features of the day were very successful. The North York Township Council in regular session on Monday fixed the tax rate for the year for county and general township purposes at 16 mills. It is expected that the county rate will be about 6 mills which will leave the township rate about 10 mills. The general school rate was fixed at 2.4 mills with special rates for different sections according to the requirements. The 16 mil] rate is to faise $149,849.56 and the a- mount required for general school burnoses is $22,477.43. The services on Sunday were con- ducted by Rev. Carscadden of Barrie who delivered two eloquent and im- pressive sermons. In the afternoon he spoke especially to the children on the subject of character building and in the evening enlarges on the same subject. Mrs. Simpson of Toronto assisted the choir which was composâ€" ed of the young ladies of the Sabbath School under the leadership of Mrs. McCague. On Saturday the softball games proved popular attractions as did all the other sporting events. Milliken were the winners in a girls game an! Unionville won a league game from Victoria Square with a 14-13 score. In the evening a very splendid proâ€" gramme was given presided over by Rev. Wall. The play “When Jane takes a Hand" given by the White Rose Young People was well pre- sented and well received. All the other entertainers were heartin applauded by the audience. The. proceeds of the day amounted to over two hundred dollars. N. York Township Tax Rate Unchanged Miss Bertha Fox of Barrie was ap- pointed to the public school staff at a salary of 5900. Miss Fox has had several years experience and comes highly recommended. She is a daugh- ter of Rev. Fox who is shortly tak- ing up residence in the village. The Board of Education in special session on Wednesday night refused the request of all the assisting teac- hers at the High School for an in- crease in salary this year of $100. In a carefully, prepared and somewhat lengthy communication which- was signed by all the teachers it was pointed out that the schedule adopt- ed by the Board at the last meeting was not proportionately high with the size of the school and did not provide enough incentive for a good teacher to remain on the staff. The schedule adopted by the board provides for a mimimum of $1700, a maximum of $1900, and a yearly increase of $50. The members were unanimous in de- ciding t9 standby the schedule. A regular fixture in the North York Lawn Bowling League for the Hon. W. L. M. King trophy open to all North York clubs was played on the local green on Friday evening last between Unionville and Richâ€" mond Hill. At the conclusion of keenâ€" ly contested games Unionville were the winners by one shot. The rinks were as follows: Unionville. R. J. Elton, S. M. Hutcheson, W. N. Smith, G. A. M. Davidson, skip, 19.

The War- den assured the deputation that the matter would receive the considera- tion of council. Mr. and Mrs. John McGiHivray of Purpleville, both of whom recently attained the age of 87 years were paid a surprise visit on Saturday last by more than 100 of their friends and neighbors.

Charles Henry Bowman, pastor of St. Paul's Pres- byterian Church, Vaughan, and Mrs. McGillivray received a large bouquet of American beauty roses, while Mr. McGillivray was presented with a beautiful mahogany pipe and a pound of tobacco. Mr. and Mrs. McGillivmy are thought to be the oldest living couple in Vaughan Township. Thornhill The first half of the schedule in the Yonge Street League has been com- pleted and has resulted in a tie in both the men’s and ladies’ sections. In the men’s league Richmond Hill and Newtonbrook have each three wins and one loss to their credit, and in the ladies’ league Thornhill and Aurora are tied for the honors of leadership. That the league has been a success is the unanimous opinion of the fans of the district and the close finish is an indication of the play throughout the season. Even the teams in the cellar positions made a creditable showing and it is worthy of note that in defeat they were many times close to victory having lost‘se- veral games by small margins. The fans are eagerly looking forward to the play-off games and the second half of the schedule. The official standing of the teams at present is: Aurora . . . . . . ‘ Thornhill Lansing . . . . . ‘ Richmond Hill Richmond Hill Newtonbrook . Pioneer Residents Are Honored By Neighbors Close Games A Feature Of First Half Of Schedule AND Mr. W. C. Gohn, Reeve of Mark- ham, expected to see this market a When interviewed by the Liberal; Reeve Hicks, declared the purpose of the market was to provide North York and North Toronto 21 means of direct buying by the consumer by the producer. While he expected North Toronto to be the heaviest buyers, yet he looked forwardjo the day when the purchasers from Lansing. Willowdale and Newtonbrook would be no small factor in the market. And, since the market building is situated in the Township of North York, he expected the County Counâ€" cil of York to request North York to handle the market and pass the by-- laws for its regulation. reams Tied For League Leadership products producers Saturday last, W. C. Gohn, chair- man of the York County Market committee, Reeve R. F. Hicks of North York, Deputy Reeve W. G.

This‘ caused some commo- tion for a time, the market people being fearful of some scheme 1;? spoil the market. However it is not ex- pected that any difficulty will be exâ€" perienced. Although this might be spoken of as a producers market, yet the pric- es that prevailed last Saturday ‘morn- ing indicated it was also a buyer: market.
