Come and enjoy yourselves. village of yours, waiter. I suppose I can get plenty of oxygen here?" “Sorry, sir, but prohibition agents are very active around here.” Mr. and Mrs. E. Smith, of Toronvto, spent Sunday with their daughter Mrs. Fred Leuschner. (, Mr. Freeman Barker, Miss Rhoda Barker attended the oyster supper held at Brown’s Corners United Chur- ch last Wednesday night. Mrs. Jack Leek was the guest of Miss Mary Henn'cks last Wednesday. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Clark, M12? Harold Clark were guests of Mr. and ' Mrs. Norman Brodie on Tuesday night. ' Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Mumford and children, of Toronto, visited with Mr. and Mrs. W. Leuschner on Sunday. Does a pig think? asks the Stayner Sun. Last week a firm of butchers in the town purchased a pig from the local stock yards and took it to their slaughter house. The following morning the porker could not be found. It was learned the pig had been purchased from James Graham iliving‘ on the townline. A call was ;put in and the proposed bacon supply found among his old-time friends afâ€" ‘ter travelling a distance of nearly two miles under fences and across fields to get home. Thus endeth the first chapter of a lively piece of pork. Whether he has brains or not he must be given credit for getting home. Mr. and Mrs. Finch, of Toronto, visited with Miss Rhoda. Barker over the week-end. The village of Tara was agog re- cently when it was learned there might be an oil strike Within the vill- age limits. The Tara creamery suf- fered a loss of nearly $500 when oil got into its hard water well and taint- ed about 2,000 pounds of butter. The well was pumped out and about twen- ty feet down the shaft workmen noticâ€" ed oily matter trickling through the rock, and the mystery of the tainted ibutter Was solved. But the loss may ‘be a blessing in disguise for the cream ery company has sent a sample to To- ronto for analysis. Aurora erected a new skating arena this year and at the last meeting of council the booth privileges were rent- ed for the season to S. G. Patrick for ,$135. In Richmond Hill the council advertised for tenders for the booth for the coming season and did not reâ€"‘ ceive any replies. The council has‘ canvassed several prospective caterersl without success. It seems strange that a privilege which is sold for $135 at Aurora must go begging at the loc- al arena. The barns and contents of James Shortell, Albion township, Henry Mc- Cauley, 7th line Albion and of Gar- ,net Topper, lot 24, con. 8, Vaughan, were all destroyed within a week. In two cases threshing was in progress when the fire broke out. Christmas is approaching at répid speed. It is now too late to do your shopping early but it is not yet too late to get it done in time. Even yet do it as early as you can. R R.

Of this amount Markham spent $327.20 and Pickering $886.05. The total expenditure is shared equally by the two municipalities. The question of municipal relief was discussed at some length and al- though no work is in progress in the township the municipality is takmg care of certain cases where there is actual distress and where conditions have been investigated by the council. Accounts were passed as follows: Village of Markham, re township‘s share of expense Division Court, C. Whitaker, goods for charity $11.95; I. Warden E. G. Farr wrote the coun- cil thanking the County represent- ‘atives for their co-operation in the conduct of the County’s business dur- ing the year now closing, and stating that their work had been very bene- ficia]. G. Maynard, manager of the Bank of Commerce at Unionville, wrote the council commending Constable James iWalker for his very efficient semces at the time of the hold-up of the branch some time ago. He stated that the conduct of the case by Con- stable Walker was very satisfactory.l The clean bill of health was quite satisfactory to the council as was the accounts for the Board of Health whi- ch were considerably lower than on ‘some previous years. The expenses were, Dr. C. R. Mackay $338.45; W. ‘C. Gohn 3 days and mileage $16.00, J. A. Gibson 3 days $15.00, G. A. M. Davison, 3 days $15.00; W. G. Max- well, sanitary inspector $13.60. The report of the Board of Health presented by Dr. C. R. MacKay gave the municipality a good bill of health. It showed the population of the muni- cipality as 5,479 an increase of 400 over 1929. There were eighty-seven births and forty-five deaths, with only one death under one year old. Chick- en Pox, Scarlet Fever, German Measâ€" les and Whoopingâ€"Cough in the order named accounted for the greatest number of cases of communicable dis- eases. In the year there was one death from tuberculosis and one from diphtheria. The report stated that samples from 22 wells were taken and analyzed and in all except three cases ‘favorable reports were received. The schools had been inspected and sani- tary conditions were found to be sat- isfactory. 3 The statutory meeting of the Mark- ham township council was held on Monday afternoon at the township hall, Unionville when the business of the year was wound up. Reeve W. C. Gohn presided and all the members Were present. Reports of truant officers and the Board of Health were received and the final accounts for the year 1930 were passed. Fina!
