The Big Swing again in 1934 to WOODBRIDGE DISTRICT NEWS PAGE EIGHT Mrs. J. Elliott Entertains W.M.S. The Women’s Missionary Society of VVoodbridg'e Presbyterian Church motored to the farm home of Mrs. James Elliott just outs’de the Village for their August meeting which was presided over by Mrs. W.

The hostess served afternoon tea on the Eight Foot Plank Road Built i In 1845 ‘ In a sketch written several decades ago by the late William Porter of Clairville who served on Peel County ‘Council for many years and was 1Warden about fifty years ago, he re- icalls the construction in 1845 of the “plank road from the Peacock hotel located at what is now Dundas Street and Royce Avenue, West Toronto, close to the _West Toronto C.P.R. station and was a point where buyers of poultry, meat, butter and eggs from the city met the farmers from Toronto Gore, Vaughan, Albion and King Townships early in the morning to make their daily purchases of sup- plies. From the Peacock hotel Mr. Porter recalls the laying of an eight foot plank road a distance of 18 miles to Coleraine passing through Weston, Thistletown and Claireville, the plan being carried out by a joint stock company of farmers. Nearly 3,000,â€" 000 feet of pine plank was used in its construction. At that time the supply of pine on the Humber seemed almost inexhaustible and lumber at the mills could be purchased at $4.00 per thous and-feet. The road so constructed served a good purpose for many years‘and there followed the laying of macadam which was regarded as a great improvement, and, within the past eight years the same road has met with another change. The Black Creek Hill on the Weston Road, a short distance from the City which was dreaded by farmers and others drawing heavy loads of grain, etc., by horse and wagon, as it was a long hard pull and several stops were made before the heavy grade was surmount- ed., This grade has been reduced to about 7 per cent and the road widen- ed and paved with asphalt up to and beyond Weston, and from there on to Coleraine the original terminal of the plank road, the road is a high class cement construction over which heav- ily loaded trucks instead of horses and wagon are the carriers of all farm products to Toronto market. These changes are in line with all others that have taken place during the past half century. Miss Mary Mainprize is back at the Red and White Stove following a three weeks vacation. Rev. J. E.

THORNHILL THE LIBERAL. RICHMOND HILL. ONTARIO the United Societies of of Toronto on Wednes- ne of their .rd Simpson, OSPREY FIGHT EAGLE CROWS OUTWIT BOTH In a battle royal which took place in Jasper National Park, Alta., be- tween some ospreys and two eagles, the wily crow outwitted the eagles who in their customary manner en- deavored to steal from the ospreys, or fish hawks, the fish which they had caught. The usual practice of the eagle is to wait until the osprey has caught a fish and risen into the air with it, when the eagle swoops down on the osprey, forces it to release its hold on the fish, when the eagle catches the fish as it falls. Hhe unusual spectacle was related by Fred Brewster, famous Rocky Moun- tain guide, to E. G. Poole, Sports- man’s Representative of the Canadian National Railways. The famous guide stated he was driving along the Pocohontas highway in the park. The ice had apparently melted on one of the small lakes along the highway near the Athabaska River. The two eagles were perched on the higher limbs of a dead tree beside the lake. Below were six osprey and below them again were a number of crows. Every now and then an osprey would dart out from the limb of the tree, hover for a moment above the water, and then swoop down and come up with a fish in its talons. Immediate- ly the two eagles would take after the osprey, which would drop the fish, but before the eagles. could capture the fish the crows flying in a body much closer to the ground would pick it up and devour it. The performance went on for an hour or more while Fred Brewster watched the unusual sight of an osprey and the eagles do- ing all the work.
