Mrs. John Mortson is- em'oying- a visit from her sisters, Mrs. Middleton and Mrs. Jakes from the west. They are also visiting the other members of the family in this vicinity. Quite a number from here enjoyed the Junior Farmer’s Picnic at Mus- selman’s Lake on Friday. The pro- gram of sports was a full one and caused much fun. Winning against Nobleton and Mt. Albert the Victoria Square team lost out in the finals with Vellore who had won from Union ville. Never mind we won the honey- moon relay anyway and quite enjoyed our day. Everyone was on hand for Satur- day, the big Garden Party day. In the sport program the 5th line school became the possessors of a ball and bat by winning from the 4th line, Victoria Square mixed team won against a. team from Richmond Hill High School and in the evening the Victoria Square baseball boys and the Merryvale football team came off vic- torious. Many a laugh was enjoyed while listening to the comedians m the evening program. We were sorry that Mrs. Peacock got a nasty hit with the ball but were pleased to see her out again on Sunday. ‘ The social which was supposed to take place Monday night came off on Thesday night while on Monday night we all enjoyed the welcome rain and a welcome rest. Mrs. Goodyear has returned to the home of Mrs. Flavelle. We wish her good progress toward recovery.

THEATR E Castlefield “In Essentials, Unity; In Non-essentials. Liberty; In L411 Things, Charity.” RICHMOND HILL. ONTARIO THURSDAY, JUNE let, 1934 Historic North York joined in the Liberal landslide which swept over Ontario on Tuesday and returned Morgan Baker as the representative of this riding with a majority of over 3000 votes. It was a record vote andi a record majority for any candidate in this riding. It was evidence of the desire of the people of this riding for a new deal in administration and1 also was a sincere tribute to the can- didate Morgan Baker who was ac- corded the support of members of all} parties. *In the province, Mitchell F. Hepâ€" burn, the courageous young; leader of Ontario Liberalism, led his forces in; one of the most remarkable and de-‘ cisive victories in the political history of this province. In Elgin County Mr. Hepburn scored a notable personal victory and his candidates won in seventy-one ridings. Premier Henry retained his seat in East York due to the large number of opposition can- didates opposing him but Reeve San- ders of Scarboro, the Liberal candi- date, mradre a splendid run and re- ceived tremendotqs support in this district and from all of the northern end of the riding. While Mr. Henry survived the landslide the majority of his cabinet went down to defeat and he will be supported in the cold shades of opposition by a handful of sixteen supporters. Liberals won in two of the Yorks, W. J. Gardhousle scoring a decisive win in West York and Morgan Baker winning‘ in this riding. In Toronto six Liberals were elected. Particularly popular in this district was the victory of Alderman 1Harold Kirby in Eglinton. Alderman 1Kirby is a native of Vaughan Town- ‘ship and is well known throughout ithis district. Richmond Hill did it’s part by con- trubuting to Mr. Baker’s victory by giving him a majority of 88 votes. As throughout Ontario a record vote was polled in the riding. In Richâ€" mond Hill 700 votes were polled as compared to 522 in the last provincial election. IVIBERAL CANDIDATE HAD RECORD MAJORITY IN THIS RIDINGâ€" BIG MAJORITY IN RICHMOND HILL AND EVERY MUNICIPALITY EXCEPT AURORAâ€"TUMULTUOUS CELEBRATION GREETED VICTORIOUS CANDIDATE Returns from the very first indi-' cated a Baker win in North York, and early in the night his election was conceded. A tremendous celebration was held here and throughout the riding. The victorious candidate made a tour of the riding and was enthus- iastically greeted everywhere. In Richmond Hill the Richmond Hill Trumpet Band paraded the streets and enthusiastic supporters: followed in a torchlight procession. An old plow was drawn through the crowded street supposedly representing the much talked of “straight-furrow.” An enthusiastic crowd waited up until 2 am. when Mr. Baker arrived here to give him a tumultous reception. Never in this history of North York has any candidate for any party scored such a victory as that won by Morgan Baker on Tuesday. From every municipality in the whole ridâ€" ing except Aurora he received a sub- stantial majority, and even in Aurora the home town of the Henry candidate the majority was reduced from 355 to 124. With official figures for a few scatter-ed polls to hear Mr. Baker's majority is about 3000. Invvictory Morgan Baker was char- acteristically modest. “It is your victory," he said. “The credit for this great victory in North York and in Ontario belongs to the people,” he said. After Richmond Hill, Mr. Baker was accompanied by the Richmond Hill Trumpet Band on a triumphal tour of North York Township.
