The Town of Newmarket will save $2,942.00 annually as a result of the Hepburn government legislation by which the province assumes the munâ€" icipalities share of Old Age Pensions and‘ Mothers’ Allowances. Thirtyâ€"one Newmarket citizens took part in a drive on Jack Rabbits on New Year's Day and as a result of their efforts eighteen “speedy jacks" bit the dust. Stanley Osborne was elected Reeve of East Gwillimlbury this year With a majority of one vote. There will be a recount. 1936 was the biggest building year in the history of North York townâ€" ship. York County farmers welcomed the heavy rainfall of last week-end as it replenished the water supply in the wells. David Church, a member of Orill‘ia Board of Education unsuccessfully. sponsored a resolution to abolish homework in Orillia schools just beâ€" fore the close of the old! year. In the New Year election he polled the largest number of votes accorded any municipal candidate in that town. He stated that he accepted the large vote as an end'orsation of his stand a- gainst homework. VEI .LORE The Vellore Euchre Club met last Monday evening when nine tables were played.

After a spirited con.- ‘test the match resulted in favor of the President’s side by 3 shots. The following are the players who took part: Pres, J. Morgan, Dr. Nelles, Rev. Pearson. Joseph Cox, Thomas Hugh-es, R. Thompson, S. Dunn; Vice- Pres, R. Clark, Dr. Gallanough, Rev. Morgan, Robt. Cox, H. Harper, H. Smith, James Ward. A Trip to Richmond Hill tory will no doubt. be opened up by means of the new extension of the Metropolitan Street Railway during the coming summer. The trip, under existing circumstances, may not be all that might be desired, but the grand weather of Saturday went for to create a very favorable impres- sion of what might be expected when the entire journey can be covered by the trolley. Leaving the C. P. R. crossing, Yonge Street, at 0.45, a 'rapid passage through Deer Park and 'the town of North Toronto lands one at the summit of York Mills hill. ‘Here an excellent view of a gorge of peculiar grandeur is spread out to View, the creek below made solid ‘ by winter’s chilly grasp, dwellings of dotted here and the valley and many descriptions there throughout | . . nestled costly on a prominence at the other side of the ravine the pretty little English Church of St. John’s. A transfer hcre made to Thompâ€" son’s bus, which has for so many years plied between the city and Richmoan Hill, but the end of whose days is now in sight. Seated on the front, with the driver, behind a good ‘span of horses, little time is lost in reaching the other side of the hollow. We are now rustling througn a coun- try for some miles as level as a plateau, with fine farm houses and well tilledlands on either side. The many styles and forms of architecâ€" ture for some distance are probably the most attractive picturesâ€"here a neat, small frame‘dtwelling and on .the other side a fine facsimile of an English castle, allowed to become 1dilapidated perhaps the more to imi- tate its original. Engaged in thus contrasting, we pass through the Villages of Lansing, Willowdale and Newtonbrook, and having but faint impression where one ends and the other commences, and reach the brow of the ascent into Thornhill. The view from here is probabl‘y bolder and of larger expanse than that at York Mills, and the impression cre- ated by the pretty dwellings and‘ surroundings in passing through the Village is that of a successful and happy community. A stiff climb is necessary for the horses to get out of the Village, and from this out to Richmond Hill the grade is gradually 'north. Between the last two villâ€" ages one cannot help noting the many handsome farm residences, equalling, if not excelling, many of moment in the city. As the stage is drawn up to the Palmer House, in the centre of this busy little community, one cannot help thinking that with elec- tric cars running Richmond Hill will assume more the character of a sub- urb of Toronto than an outlying country Villageâ€"World. THIRTY YEARS AGO From our Issue of January 10, 1907 The barn and contents of Mr. Rob- ert Monkman, 5th con. Markham, near Buttonville, were destroyed by fire Monday. The origin of the fire seems to be a mystery. Mr. George H. Pingle died at his home near Unionvill-e on Sunday last in his 7lst year. Deceased leaves a widow, a son and five daughters. He was a brother of Mr. Alex Pingle, ex-County Councillor. Mr. Jonathan Brillinger, lot 46, lst con. Markham, near this Village has shown us a sample of Northern Spy apples grown in his orchard in 1905. The proprietor evidently understands not only how to grow good apples, but also how to preserve them. Last Friday evening a. surprise party was held at the home of Mr. and Albert Jones of Elgin Mills, where about fifty of their friends gathered from Toronto, Grand Valley, .Ieffirson, Teston and Richmond Hill, and spent a pleasant time.
