Coupled with Thanksgiving Day is the celebration of Vrmistice Day. On this day as on every other throughout the year we should not be unmindful of the sacrifice of those who gave their lives in the Great War. And may the self same principles of faith, courage and sacrifice that we will hear acclaimed at the cenotpahs which dot our land, be exâ€" emplified by those who are struggling with the problems of peace and the post war problems. Those who gave their lives in the Great War did so not only to defend our civiliz- ation, but also to start anew the energies of a civilization worth defending. That is why “their names live for ever- r VLet us commemorate this holiday in a proper spirit that will illustrate our thankfulness and honor those who fell in defense of right. In a business way, both locally and nationally, the past year may not have been all that could be desired, but in View of the world Wide unrest, Canada seems to be emerging from the melee more rapidly than some and better than most. The past year has not been, perhaps, one of great maâ€" terial progress for citizens of this and neighboring counties. but surely we have many things to be thankful for and the spirit of good faith and optimism should inspire us to a genâ€" uine celebration of National Thanksgiving Day. more.” May your Thanksgiving Day be hardly long enough for all the giving of thanks that the good- ness of the year requires.

N0. 16 in- terviewed the council relative to the levying and payment of grants to that section for this and previous years. It was decided to have the auditor go into the matter and determine the a- mount owing by the township to the school section. Mr. Maynard, of the Canadian Bankl of Commerce advised the council of1 the new regulation adopted by all banks following approval of the Can-i adian Bankers Association that all banks will in future charge the mun- icipalities at the rate of 5 cents on all cheques under $15. and 10 cents on all cheques of $15 and over for the collec-‘ ‘tion of taxes. Last year the regu-‘ lation was first introduced making a charge for collection of taxes when paid to the bank. Markham like the majority of other municipalities took the stand that if ratepayers found it more convenient to pay their taxes at the bank than to make payment to the tax collector the ratepayer should be Willing to pay the charge. Last yEar every ratepayer who paid at the bank was asked for an additional 5 or 10 cents to cover the bank charges. It appearshowevel' that the rate- Ipayers did not take kindly to the idea ‘and that there was a good deal of crit- icism with the result that the banks have taken the stand that they must he paid for collection of taxes and that it must come frOm the municipal treasury and not from the individual fratepayer as in the past. It was moved by deputy-reeve G. B. ‘ Padget seconded by councillor Clark that the following grants be made: Thornhill Public Library $15., East York Plowmen’s Association $25, Mar- kham Township School Fair $10., Jun- ior Farmers Plowing Competition $10., Victoria Square Community Hall $50. The motion carried. REGULAR MEETING OF MARK- HAM TOWNSHIP COUNCIL Reeve W. C. Gohn said that he felt that the township.ac€ount was sufficiâ€" ently profitable to the bank that they could well afford to accept the tax pay- ments Without any further remunerâ€" ation, but if the banks had taken that stand the township would have to abide by it. A By-law was passed for the Vicâ€" toria Square (Community Hall, which has been deeded to the township in ac- cordance with the provincial require- ments regarding Community Halls. Reeve Gohn and all members of the council spoke highly of the new hall which they characterized as a credit to the community. Reeve W. C. Gohn Deputy-Reeve R. L. Stiver, Robert Agar, Harvey Collard, H. Mortson, A. Valliere, Ross Nichols were named as the committee of management. Engineer Babcock was present and regarding the sidewalk construction on Yonge Street it was decided owing to weather conditions and the danger of frost to only construct forty rods of walk this fall. Road superintendent Maxwell reâ€" ported road Work in the township nearly completed. Soine gravelling was still to be done on the second and it was thought advisable to have the grader run over some of the roads to do some levelling and gathering in of material. Mr. Maxwell will also en- deavour to have the stone crusher work for a time this fall if it is in Shape to run without too expensive reâ€" pairs. Clarke Young appeared on behalf] of the East York Plowmen’s. Associ-l ation. He said Scarbor'o was very! generous to the organization, and Nor- - th York gave a grant of $100. last. year and 350. this year. . g Reeve Gohn reported re the appeal against the County equalized assess- ment now in progress and the memb- ers conferred for some time w1th township solicitor J.
