Liberty: RICHMOND HILL. ONT THURSDAY. JULY Abundant Crops “There are exoellcnt crops in York County this year” said R. J. Rogers, district representative of the depart- ment of Agriculture when interviewed by the Liberal this week. He pointed out that present indications are that there will be a plenteous yield of prac- tically all farm crops and that the con- dition is general in all parts of the County. A party of Argonamists from the United States Department of Agriâ€" culture recently made a tour of this part of the province and marvelled at the excellence of the crops here. They were especially interested in the alf- alfa crop and were surprised that York County could produce such yields as are common this year. They were of the opinion that from the appearance of the crops commercial fertilizer must be used here in large quantities and were surprised to. learn that such was not the case. They learned the secret however when they were told the num- A meeting of the joint committee of the King and Vaughan, North York and Scarboro Plowmen’s Associations was held in the Council Chamber Richâ€" mond Hill on Friday night when the prize list for the annual fall match was drawn up.

From all sections of the district people gathered in the Headford Churâ€" ch on Sunday aftennoon last to pay tri- bute to the memory of Victor Wellman eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Well- man, who met his untimely death while bathing in the Headford pond, lon Thursday evening, July 14. Headford Pond Scene of Sad Drowning Fatality The entire community was shocked when the news of the tragedy spread around late on Thursday and early Friday morning, and it was learned that Victor Wellman had been drown- ed. ' The deceased attended the regular ‘meeting of the Young People’s League ion Thursday evening as was his cust- om and delight, because he took a keen interest in the work and often took part in the exercises, and when returnâ€" ing to his home along with several companions it was suggested that all go for a swim in the pond on Mr. Clark’s farm. The suggestion was eagerly acted upon and accompanied by his chums, Wesley Clark, Enoch Batty and John King and his younger brother Leonard Wellman, they journâ€" eyed to the pond which although not large or very deep is said to be treachâ€" erous even to experienced swimmers. Shortly after entering the water Vic- tor was seen disappear by his chums but as none were experienced swimm- ers they were helpless to render any aid and although friends and neigh- hours were quickly on the scene it was too late. ‘ The late Victor Wellman was seven- teen years of age and had just com- oleted his first year at the Richmond Hill High School. He was a general favorite with all who knew him and will be greatly’missed by a large cirâ€" cle of friends in the community, in the school and in the church, but most of all in the home as the elder brother of a family of five, and as the son of a loving father and mother. The United Church at Headford of which the deceased was a faithful member would not accommodate the great crowd which congregated to do honor to the memory of the one who had so suddenly been called from the midst of the'community, and to ex- tend sincere and heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved parents in their hour of great sorrow. Rev. J .W. Fox conduct- ed the services, assisted by Rev. Haig and Rev. A. A. Wall. It was a beauti- ful and impressive service. A service of tribute to the fine life of the depart- ed and a service of comfort to those who are left to mourn. It opened with the singing of the well known hymn Field Crops In York foamy Make Arrangements For Big Plowing Match Won at Stouffville Thirty six rinks took part in the bowling tournament at Stouffville on Wednesday including three from Rich- mond Hill.

The other rinks were skipped by Gid Moodie and F. J. Mansbridge. “Oh God Our Help In Ages Past” after which Rev. A. A. Wall led in prayer and Miss Margaret McCague, of Victoria Square sang a solo “The City Four Square.” Rey. Fox pastor of the Headford United Church paid glowing tribute to the life of Victor Wellman, and pointed out that alth- ough at such times as this many were ‘inclined to ask the question “Why?”, we always remember that God is Love, and that although we cannot under- stand the many mysteries of His Div- ine Wisdom we must have that abid- ing Faith ‘which is the greatest com- fort in times of sorrow. The service closed with the singing of “Safe in the Arms of Jesus’ and interment followed gin the church yard cemetery. The Liberal joins with the people of this district in extending to Mr. and IMrs. W. H. Wellman sincere sympathy in fiheir great sorrow. The pall bearers were Wesley Clark, Enoch Batty, ¢harles James, Ralph James, Malcolm Spencely, Donald Spencely. Left to mourn besides a loving father and mother are three brothers, Leonard William, Melvin James and Allan Edwin, and one sis- ter Ruth Elizabeth. The abundance of floral tributes bespoke the esteem in which the deceased was held and the sympathy which is felt for the bereav- ed family and included wreaths from The Epworth League, Sunday School, Teacher and pupils of Public School, ;North York Market, as well as many ‘sprays and wreaths from relatives and friends.
