“Road work is progressing very favorably in Vaughan”! Township 31. though the continued wet weather has been somewhat of a drawback" said Road Superintendent William Mcâ€" Donald to The Liberal this week, A new type of gravel loader has been purchased to replace the one bought some months ago and, which was found not to be satisfactory for the township. The new equipment has arrived and was set to work in the gravel pit on Wednesday and it is hoped and confidently expected that it will greatly expedite township work. It is most modern in every respect and will cost in the neighborhood of fifteen hundred dollars whereas the first loader considered cost about seven hundred and fifty dollars. Weed cutting throughout the town- ship has 'been practically completed and it has been very gratifying to the officials that the farmers and land- owners of the municipality have dis- played such a splendid spirit of co- operation and by their co-operation have done much towards making the carrying out of the weed act a success. It is quite evident that there is a general appreciation of the efforts of the authorities to stamp out the weed menace and everywhere this year there has been evidence of an anxiety on the part of the general pub- lic to see that the regulations are car- ried out. 6H0 Wet Weather Hampers Road Work Operations °=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=0=9 Weed Cutting Nearly Completed in VOL.

Charity.” GOOD PLACE TO BUY A USED CAR “How long shall the highways be stained by the blood of innocents?” asked Rev. N.H. Noble of Trinity church, Thornhill in preaching the funeral service of the late Harry Banks, of Langstaff, who met his death when he was struck by a motor car on Sunday evening last, and who- se funeral was held on Wednesday af- ternoon. Rev. Noble made an e10quent and forceful plea for immediate acti- on to safeguard the lives of pedesâ€" trains who used the highways and stressed the fact that the time had come when the people must demand sidewalks along the principal high- ways. He appealed for the co-oper- ‘ation of the press to the extent of mublishing full details of the accidents that the force of the appaling danger might provoke action from the auth-orities. He eloquently pointed out 1 that the life of this young man snuffâ€" ed out in his early years, hard and ; sad as it was to bear would not have ; been sacrificed in vain if it would reâ€"] sult the institution of safety measures in the interests of the people of this district. Charles Henry Banks who was in his twentieth year was walking north on Yonge Street, Sunday evening ac- c0mpanied by his brother Edward when the accident occurred. Both were walking on the radial tracks, as they thought well out of the way of the continuous stream of traffic. It is said that three cars trying to pass abreast forced the left hand car on the tracks, striking the unfortunate {young man and inflicting fatal in- 'juries and painfully injuring his brot- her Edward. The deceased was well and favorably known throughout this district and his sudden death is sadly Yonge Street Traffic Exacts Toll 0f Sacrifice In Fatal Tragedy SUDDEN DEATH OF MARKHAM RESIDENT Joseph Horner an old and highly re- spected resident of Markham Town- ship died suddenly while working in the harvest field on Thursday last. Engaged in wheat cutting operations with his brother Joshua Homer the l‘deceased had been leading the horses lwhich were hitched to the binder when the animals suddenly became excited and unruly and finally he had to let go the bridle. The brother Josh who .was on the seat of the binder and holâ€" ding the reins after a run through a summer fallow succeeded in stopping the team. The late Mr. Homer aâ€" gain took them by the bridle, but alâ€" most immediately was seized by a vio- lent pain about the heart. His broth- er and Mr. F. Helmkay immediately went to his assistance but he had lap~ sed into unconsciousness, and he pass~ ed away before medical aid could be rendered. The funeral which was held on Sat. ilurday last was largely attended. Ser- vices were held at the house and at church and were conducted by Rev. D, N. Heise assisted by BishOp A. Wing_ er. The text was taken from the thirtieth chapter of Job and the twen- ty third verse, “For I know that Thou wilt bring me to death and to the house appointed for all living.” The pall-bearers were, William Lcece, David Patton, Charles Clark, Freder- ick Clark, Henry Kane and Charles Comisky, Left to mourn his paSSing is one brother Joshua, one niece Clara Tee], one grandâ€"niece Mrs. Samuel Winger and two nephews Floyd and David Winger. To the bereaved family The Liberal extends sincere sympathy and joins with the people of this commun- ity in expressing regret at the pass- ing of one whose life was such as to command the respect and confidence of his fellow~men. The deceased was in his sixty-four~ th year and his sudden death was a great shoek to the community. He was living on the Homer homestead on which he was born and were he spent his life.

A private service was held at his late residence which was followed by a service in Trinity church, Thornhill, which was very largely attended. A great mass of floral tributes was evi- dence of the high esteem in which he was held and the genuine sorrow oc- casioned by his passing and of the sympathy which is felt for the berea~ ved family. During the service at the church two favorite hymns of the deceased, “Breath on Me Breath of God" and Peace Perfect Peace” were sung. Rev. Noble of Trinity church of which the late Mr. Banks was a devoted member spoke at some length referring to the loss sustained not on- ily by the family but by the church and community as a whole through the death of Harry Banks. He em- phasized that the sacrifice of his life should inspire immediate action to re-‘ move the causes which had brought a- ‘bout this tragedy, and the provision 10f proper accommodation for pedes- trians on Yonge Street. Even in tragedies Rev. Noble pointed out that the Divine Providence of God was ever present and mysterious as the ways often seem they are all means “of working out His Divine will. The late Mr. Banks is survived by his father Mr. Charles Banks, two brothers, William and Edward and two sisters, Ethel and Dorothy. His mother died three years ago.

" M‘ARKHAM COUNCIL The regular August meeting of the Markham Township council will be held in the township hall, Unionville on Tuesday next, Augmt 7. Among the items of business will be the fixing of township rate for 'the year. Unionville School Board Asks Council To Provide Protection F or The Public School Children Who Cross Yonge St, Chairman G.H. Duncan stated that this matter had been considered some ‘time ago and that inas much as the ‘School Board had no jurisdiction over the streets he had gone to the council ‘to see what could be done. The only isatisfaction received was a suggest- \ion from Reeve Lunau that the teach- lers of the school take turns in pilot- ing the scholars across the street. it'l‘he members were unanimous in the opinion that such a scheme was out of the question as the board did not hire teachers to be. traffic “cops,” and moreover it needed someone there who had some authority over traffic. Miss Corner Engaged as New Public School Teacher At a special meeting of the Rich- mond Hill Board of Education held on Tuesday evening, Miss Alice Corner, of Pefferlaw, was engaged as a Pubâ€" lic School teacher to replace Miss Mortley on the local staff. Miss Cor- ner has had four years teaching exâ€" perience and comes very highly reco- mrhended by the Inspectors in whose districts she was engaged. Her sal- ary will be one thousand dollars per annum. Trustee Herb Sanderson introduced the question of protection for Public School children crossing Yonge street. He felt that in the facei‘of traffic con- ditions as they exist toâ€"day on Yonge Street that some precautions should be taken to protect the children. He suggested that lines he painted on the pavement where the children should cross and that the constable be on duty there at noon and after four to direct the children. - “The town spends lots of money a lot more foolishly than having a. conâ€" stable on duty at that crossing for a few hours a day” said trustee Sanderâ€" son On motion of trustee Sanderson and trustee Murphy the Board will ask that the village council take immedi- ate steps to have a definite creasing place established on Yonge Street for the pupils at the Public School and that a constable be placed on duty at 4’ THE HOME OF HIGH CLASS ENTERTAINMENT L- YONGE AND GLEN FOREST SATURDAY MATINEE AT 2.30 PM.
