S. building was given to Mr. M. Murphy. The council met on Tuesday oven- ing, June 6th. Pre~ent: the Reeve and councillors Inncs and Wright. The newly elected candidates, Messrs. David Hill and Henry F. Hopper, made their respective declarations of qualification and of office, and took their seats at the council table. The treasurer’s half-yearly financial statement was laid before the coun- cil, exhibiting a balance of $20.07 in the treasury on the 30th June. Messrs. W. Storey and A. Newton, representing the Board of Education, addressed the council in reference to the purchase of a bell. Mr. Innes moved, seconded by Mr. Wright, that the reeve and Mr. Hill be a com- mittee to confer with the [managing committee of the Board of Educa- tion in regard to the matter referred to by Messrs. Storey and NeWtOn. Carried. On Wednesday evening, June 23rd, the Maple parsonage was crowded, the occasion of the gathering being to bid farewell to Mr. and Mrs. Bedâ€" ,ford. Mr. J. C. McQuarrie presided, and Mrs. L. Hadwin and Mrs. Amos Shunk presented Mrs. Bedford with a beautiful piano lamp and Mr. Bed- ford with a valuable silver ink stand, and address. East York Conservatives met in c0nvention on Tuesday of last week to nominate a candidate for the local House, but although there were sev- eral nominations none WOuId accept. Another convention will be held. THIRTY YEARS AGO From our Issue of July 4th, 1907 We understand the erection of the elevator at the C.N.O. station for Mr. Ramer is progressing nicely. Thirty-three candidates are this week writing on the Departmental examination papers at the Richmond Hill High School. are writing for Senior Leaving cert. ificates, 17 for Junior Leaving, and 7 for Junior Matriculation. The painting and decorating of the interior of the Methodist Church and Sunday School room is completed and the work certainly reflects great credit on the Thornton-Smith Com- pany. Tile choir gallery has been enlarged, the cushions recovered and the stained glass windows put in or- der. Everything is ready for the church re-opening next Sunday. Mrs. Harry Blanchard of this Vil- lage passed away on Monday even- ing after a few minutes illness. The sudden death cast a gloom over the Village, and the husband and rela- tives have the sympathy of all in their great bereavement. The funâ€" eral takes place this Thursday to the ‘ I Village cemetery. Marriages Nichols-Wellmanâ€"At 128 Victor Avenue, Toronto, on Thursday, June 20, by the Rev. Wesley Dean, Mr. Louis L.

VELLORE Large Crowd Attends Annual I Strawberry Festival * St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church held their strawberry festival at the Vel-‘ lore Towuship Hall on Wednesday evening with a record crowd who came to enjoy the bountiful supper; Mr. Chapman and his assistants pre.‘ sented a very amusing and entertainâ€" ing program, assisted by Gordon Mc- Gillvray's male chorus who sang three splendid numbers. Reunions are the order of the day now. Burton reunion was held at Vellore on Thursday of this week and Saturday saw the McDonald clan gathered once more for this annual event. ‘ We are pleased to report that Mrs. J. Harrison who underwent an operâ€" ation in St. Michael's Hospital, is progressing favourably. l One hundred thousand lake trout are being released in Lake Simcoe near Barrie this week. The Canadian Post Office Depart- ment made a profit of $3,266,080 in the fiscal year of 1936-37. Of the above 9, Earns Promotion Arthur B. Smith, above, will become general superintendent, Sleeping, Dining, Parlor Car and News Service, eastern lines, Cana- dian Pacific Railway, with head- quarters at Toronto on July 1. After joining the Company as office boy at Montreal in 1903, be served in posts of increasing res- ponsibility at Winnipeg, Banff, and Toronto, where he became assistant superintendent in 1913 and superintendent tn: 1928. General News & Views i A drive through York County this week revealed a glorious picture of Ontario farm life at its best. York County farms never looked better than to-day with promise of abun- dant crops. ' During an informal chat with Sir William Mulock, this week Canada’s Grand Old Man on the subject of fishing remarked “anyone who has not acquired the taste for fishing, has missed something really worth- while in life.” And all fishing enâ€" thusiasts shout “aye”. It is useless to try to tell the younger generation they don’t know it all. Let them alone and in a few years they will find! out they did not know any more than we did at their age. One of the most resourceful indi- viduals We have known in a long and checkered career was the chap who lived by the side of the track in an eastern, state and kept himâ€" self in coal by making faces at the railway engineers. It is seldom that imperfection in- creases value, but this appears to be the case with stamps. Collectors have gone crazy to secure the new King George VI issue with a few dots on them that were not meant to be there. “You can’t sell the customer by insulting him,” says a trainer of salesmen. Brother, you should see the man demonstrate a vacuum cleaner. No one speaks more pleasantly to a newspaper editor than a man who has been in trouble and expects to be in some more. You have all heard the expression , “there is no fool like an old fool.” Of course there are young ones who drink alcohol and drive a motor car. i In a recent canvass of funds for the International Plowing Match, to be held at Fergus next fall, Fergus businessmen contributed $800, Fer- gus Council $200 and B'eatty Bros. $500, and still they kid Fergus of- being Scotch. _‘ Are you armbitiliu's or just satisâ€" fied to go along the free, easy and. less strenuous way. It is good to contemplate at times what we have accomplished. But we must not ex- pect our yesterdays to carry us to the end of our days. Life means eternal striving, Raise your hat to the past if you wish, but take off your coat to the future, is the ad- vice of the Smiths Falls Reconl- News. In the course of his reading re- cently the editor of the Smiths Falls Record-News came across an inter- esting article relating to railway ties, and learned that the wooden crosstie, under railroad tracks. is be- lieved to be one kind of industrial equipment for which a satisfactory substitutgonever has been developed. During the past 50 years more than 2,500 patents on other kinds of ties have been issued but none of them has been adopted. Last year the Dominion govern- ment spent SSIEUJJISJ‘DH, which was 7,000,000 li‘.(l'L’ tllilll it earned. Of ev ery dollar expended 17.8 cents went in payment of relief charges; 4.9l cents for old age pensions; 12.1 cents , for returned soldiers and their fam- ‘ ilies; 31.3 cents interest on national debt; 9.8 cents to provide C.N.R. de- ficits, and 3.7 subsidies to provinces. The country actually spent $1.19 for each dollar it took in. In England further attention is be- ing paid to the eternal question of homework for school children. A reâ€" port, prepared by teachers and in- spectors, has been forwarded to the board of education in London, re- commending there should be no homework for elementary school children under 12 years of age, not more than one hour a day for those between 12 and 14, and 11/2 hours for those between 14 and 16. This might be suitable to the majority of children. but some pupils are slower to learn than others and so it is doubtful if the setting of a fixed rule such as this with respect to homework would be advisable. hâ€"‘ SINGLE COPIES 5‘. $1.50 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE No. ‘2.
