A social half hour was speni; at the close of the meeting, during whicn dainty refreshments were served by the hostesses. The excellent rendering by Miss Mortson of Old Time Songs was very appropriate _ar}d greatly enjoyed. A very instructive paper on antiqu- es was read by Mrs. Burnaby, and Mrs. James Stewart’s reading of Sel- iny Morrow’s “To Home” created much merriment. A most irteresting‘ exhibit .of Fam- ily Relies, including rare china, Shef- field Plate, silver, brass, hand woven linen and wearing apparel were dis- played in answer to the Roll Call. Each member in turn gave the his- tory of the article brought. Miss Mortson’s historical sketch of the or- igin of the manufacture of the Pais- ley shawl in Paisley, Scotland, added great interest in the shawl she wore it having belonged to her‘ great- grandmother.

The appeals of Mrs. Hamilton, Richmond Street; Chas. Cooper, Centre Street, and J.C. Gostling, Lucas Street, were disal- lowed, while a reduction of $200.00 was granted to H. A. Nicholls on the shoe factory property on Yonge Str- eet. The original assessment was $3075 which was reduced to $2875 This is made up of $1364 for land and $1511 for the building. Mr. Nic- holls complained that the assessment of the town was a haphazard one and was not at all equalized. He howev- er thanked the Council for the small reduction with the remark that small donations are thankfully received Four appeals against the assessment are the most which have been receiv- ed for several years. In supporting the motion for the reduction of ass- esment of Mr. Nicholls property, Councillor Sloan said he did not think it was actually 'too high, but in pro- portion to other properties it_ was: Passed a resolution fixing rental on corporation cement mixer and forbid- ding that it be taken outside the vi]- The regular meeting of the Rich- mond Hill council was held on Monday night with Reeve Lunau in the chair and all members present.

H North Yon A By-Law was passed forbidding meetings to be held‘ on} the viliage Streets without a permit. The action was taken as a result of the com- plaint of local merchants against an organization holding meetings on Sat- urday night at the corner of Yonge and Arnold Streets. The authorities asked that they hold their meetings on the school grounds as it was felt that the crowd which congregated in- terferred with the traflie on Arnold Street and was a danger to the gen- ‘eral public. The leader of the group {practically defied the Constable, Reeve ‘or all local powers to make them ‘move and the By-Law was the result. It was made quite plain that it is not the intention of the council to in- terfere in any way with any relige- ous body which wishes to hold meet- ings, but they must not interfere with the traffic and must conform with the wishes of the local authorities. There will be no difficulty for the Salvation Army or any such body to secure the necessary permit. ‘ Pedestrians Should Keep to Sidewalks Councillor Green pointed out that he had interviewed several, personally who were considering changing their location, and he was sure that al- though they were not advertising the fact, all the members of the council were working in a quiet way to seâ€" cure indqstries if at all possible. . H. A. Nicholls addressed the council relative to the advisability of making an effort to secure industries in Rich- mond Hill. He pointed out that Woodbridge recently secured 3 Val- uable industry and that Meaforil and other towns were active in the search for industrial concerns but apparently nothing was being done locally. Reeve Lunau stated that he had heard no inquiries recently and that most all who came here wanted the village to start them up in business. Mr. Nichâ€" olls took the ground that We. should make some effort to induce them to lo- cate here. He said the signs on the out- skirts of the village were all right, but they never would be sufficient to induce industrial concerns to come here. He felt that the cpuncil had a responsibility in this matter and that some action should be taken. a revenue?” ,_ Reeve Lunauâ€"“f have suggested a charge of $1.50 penday if it is sat- isfactory to the Council.” On motion of Councillors Baldock and Herrington the Reeve was ap- pointed to make someone responsible for the Cement Mixer, (:0 see that a rental of $1.50 per day be charged, also any repairs. and cartag‘e, and that the village workmen be taken in charge of the machine. Under n6 consideration is the mixer to be taken outside of the limits of the corpora? tion. The bill for repairs to the Cement Mixer caused considerable discussion as to the advisability of letting it be used for other than town work. Coun- cillor Green Wanted to know if people who used it are charged rental and also for repairs necessary. “I would like to know," said councillor Green, “who gives'permission for the mixer to be taken?” Reeve Lunauâ€"“No one. They just go and take it.” Councillor Sloanâ€"“If We are go- ing to let people use it why not have NVH ' serious that it w: headligh W Mr Chevrolet and He ong charged m county pclicr; Iednesday with reckless 'e was driving a truck on ge Street and knocked Thomas Monkman, causing injury.

There has never been any ty- ' phoid fever in these parts because of this uncontaminated water supply and exferywhere we went in our walking tours we found the most sincere hospitality in the homes of the peas- ants, the loveliest of fine handcrafts diligence and cleanliness. On one oc- casion a party of us tramped fifteen miles through the hills, part of the way being on the La Misere Road but steep as was the way there was no misery and nothing but happy ex- periences. At La Misere post office we were made welcome as friends, later inspected the old mill where the people bring their wool to have made ,into yarns for the wonderful Quebec homespuns and in numbers ‘of, the homes we saw the most lovely exam- ples of this ancient and beautiful craft. The more one sees of these ipeople the more one realizes that it is not altogether a drawback to be remote. The Habitante is poor. His farm is rarely more than 20 to 40 acres in extent and is a narrow strip running to the river. The soil is not of the best and one Wonders how these large families exist. Well, there is poverty but also contentment and in spite of the lack of material success their lives are neither low nor squal- id and there is a spirit of reverence and simple kindness which might well be emulated by the people whom pve regard as more fortunate? ‘ Mr. McIntosh also spoke of an inâ€" teresting visit made to the church of St. Francois da Sale some ten. miles from Les Eboulements, one of â€"the finest edifices in Canada. It seats fifteen hundred people and is beautiful in all its details. At St. Anne De Baupre a new church is also being built which is to be as fine as any- thing in the world. The money spent on it has been contributed through many years by the thousands of'pilâ€" grims to the famous shrine and by the devout people of Quebec province. “Their love of beauty,” said Mr. Mc- Intosh, “is another great quality-in our eastern neighbors and though I would like to see them have greater would like to 5 opportunities f be very: sorry The Laurentians tower behind the nestling villages 2700 feet high and are still volcanic. The Baie St. Paul and Les Ebouiements are indeed the centres from which the earthquake felt last year in Richmond Hill and other parts of Ontario radiated and it is recorded that over a century ago some of the inhabitants of these‘re- gions moved away because of fear of the earth tremors and some of the people after this last quake moved further up the hills. ' The houses in these villages are most attractive and one cannot fail to be charmed by the arrangements both within and without although they are for the most part the homes of poo; people. Les Eboulements is a small village nestling under the lovely Laurentians with the St. Lawrence nearby. In front lies the Isle La Coudre where Jacques Cartier first landed in the Bais des Andres. The St. Lawrence at this point is nowhere more wonder- ful. As Canadians we ought all to be proud of this noble stream. The great ocean liners do not pass close to Coudre but all the small pleasure steamers for Chicoutimi, Murray Bay and the Saguenay pass this way. At this point the tides rise fifteen feet, the water is salty, there are the most excellent sea fish and dolphins may be seen spgrting in the river. A summer spent in a little village seventy miles east of the city of Quebec which is reached' by a spur railway line running from Quebec to Muray Bay has left none but the pleasantest impressions of both ‘the beautiful countryside and the content- ed~and happy habitant. - “Though I was born not far from the city of Montreal,” said the Rev. Mr. McIntosh in addressing a large meeting of the Womens' Institute held at the home of Mr. A. Plewman last Thursday afternoon, “I feel that I know far too little of the province‘ of Quebec and that ignorance of our neighbors to the east is inexcusable. Rev.
