Special prizes were donated by our citizens, amounted to $73.50. Ap- peals for these made by Finance di- rector and Secretary, Government grant for 1929, $46.00. Park improvements advanced â€"-the rose trellis having been built and climbing roses planted, shrub hedge planted to West. Caretaking of the plot in the hands of W. T. Graham, well kept all season. In October, ground was prepared for a bed of per- ennials to be planted in the spring with plants donated by members of the Society. 73 members obtained premiums from Endean Nurseries, given by the Society at a cost of $25.55. Refreshments served at Fall Flower Show netted $6.00 to the So- ciety. The activities of Richmond Hill Horticultural Society during 1929 cost approximately $330. In presenting the above report the .uecretary feels sure that money has not been misspent, time has not been idly wasted and hence the Society is worthy of the support it receives from the citizens who generally speaking, look favourably upon efforts made while demanding more and more vis- ible proofs commending its existence. Only increased effort is needed to ad- vance the membership to 200. Let this be the aim for 1930. The growing beauty spot in the park deserves more appreciation from the citizens than it receives. Perhaps the members do not visit it and talk of it frequently. The directorate of the society will welcome friendly crit- icism and suggestion.

MANY ARE VICTIMS 0F “MORBUS SABBATICUS” A churchman has discovered a new disease called “Morbus Sabbaticus” which is fatal to the soul. This dis. ease is peculiar to churchgoers, says the Rev. A. V. Astin, vicar of Christ Church, Chadderton. The popular name for the disease is “Sunday sick- ness.’ “The attack,” writes the vicar “comes on suddenly every Sunday; no Symptoms are felt Saturday night; the patient sleeps well, eats a hearty breakfast but about church time the attack comes on and continues until the services are over for the morning. On Monday he wakes up refreshed and does not have the symptoms until the next Sunday.” WOMEN’S INSTITUTE MEETING The Women’s Institute held its reg- ular monthly meeting at the home of Dr. L. Langstaff on Thursday, Januâ€" ary 9th, with a goodly number of members and friends present to hear Mr. Clarke’s interesting talk on “Ar- cheolog'y”. Mr. Clarke has made ex- tensive study of the subject and sev- eral sketches were shown, illustrating the features of his address and many articles made by the Indians such as beads from bone, forks from deer horns, pipes wonderfully carved were exhibited, also beautifully decorated pottery which Mr. Clarke said had been found in ash deposit presumably used for cooking by the early Indians. A number of articles in Mr. Clarke’s collection were found on the old Boyle Farm south of Richmond Hill, others on the banks of the Humber; also some in King and the surrounding country. It was voted at this meetâ€" ing to send aresolution to the council asking for an appointment of Women on the Board of Education. The In- stitute voted $10.00 to be sent to the Department for relief work in the North. BOARD OF TRADE ANNUAL ‘soon coming.

The neighbouring village of Mark- ham is going ahead. During the past few years much has been done in that village with the aid of Markham mon- ey and brains. Five years ago, we remember there being a defunct flour mill in Markham, where in its place today stands a new splendidly equippâ€" ed feed plant, towering high above the little station in Markham village. It bears testimony to the foresight of Markham men, the Reesors, and stands testimony to the enterprises of these men, who have always worked for and believed in a greater Mark- ham, and from all signs their day is ‘soon coming. The inhabitants have realized the adwmtages of buying home produce such as grains, flour, animal and poultry feeds, slippers, thereby keeping money within Mark- ham and increasing the prosperity of A grant of $10.00 was made to the Sick Children’s Hospital.
