One of the first questions to be considered by lthe 1939 council should be the mat- ter of acquiring sites for two town- ship dumps, it was unanimously agreed among the members. How- ever the securing of a suitable loca- tion presents something of a prob- lem. fidod I Treasurer Charles Hoover repart- ed. finances for lohe municipality to be in excellent shape. “If tax pay- ments this month come up to ex- pectations we will close the year in the best financial Condition for some.

Galod Value For Mdnéy Om Roads } Members of counc'] ex'jil‘éssjcd théiffeelves as well pleased with the road done during the season: Good value for money expended had been secured in the gravel contr’éfi, and the new r6335 equipment was? a valuable assistanb'é‘ if? bringing abtfufi a marked improvem‘érllf; in the town- ship roads. “Our roads" certainly are in good shape,” said councfllor Harry Barb-er. "In Essentials, Unity; In yon-essentials. Libertyi In All Things, Charity” Says Councillors W‘obdlen-heads “Wooden-heads” was the epitaph hurled at members of council by Mrs. T. Vernard who was supporting her husband’s plea for some rrlief cloth- ing. Mr. Vern‘ard thought he was being unfairly used by the relief officer and1 appealed to the council. His wife attempted to support her husband’s plea and was told to be quiet by Reeve Rennie. “We won’t listen to you at all,” said the Reeve. After several verbal clashes Mrs. Vernard retired and as she Went said‘ the councillors were a lot of wood- en-heads anyway. Refused any con- cessions by council Mr. Vernard said he would take it higher up. “That’s the thing to do,” said Deputy-Reeve Hooper. “Sure, go right ahead,” said the Reeve. Reeve Rennie suggested that Mr Mathews take his petition to Queen’s Park. “As far as the radials are con- cerned,” said Councillor Clark, “I think it is a matter entirely up to the people in the transportation area." “The neople by their votes acquir- ed the radial li'ne, and if there is to be any change it would have to be by the votes of the people,” said Reeve James Rennie. “We want some action on Yonge Street widening, and we want it now," declarcd E. E. Mathews of Langstaff when he appeared before Markham Township council last Mon- day afternoon. Urging that the m'unicipal council take immediate ac- tion to press for the widening Mr. Mathews said that the uncertainty surrounding the radials should be ‘cleared up. “I’m given to under- stand that once the transportation question is definitely settled the On- tario Department will take some definite action to improve Yonge Street. I am satisfied that the peo- ple will vote to retain the radialrs, but they should be given an oppor- tunity to express themselves on the question and once that is definitely settled we will get somewhere with Yonge Street. Under present condi- tions Yonge Street presents a grave hazard for all who use the highway. Everyone is clamoring for some acâ€" tion and I’m going out now to get a petition a mile long,” said Mr, Mathews. ‘ V ASKS COUNSEL’S TQM MCMURCHY HELP IN URGiNG i3 NEW REEVE YONGE WIDENINGE 0F KING TWP.

Members of Richmond Hill coun- cil will meet next Monday evening in the eounoil chambers with repre- lséntatives of the churches and varia ous organizations of the town to make arrangements for the annual Christmas Basket distribution.

Already the Richmond Hill Lions’ Club has donated $10 00. Any indi- ‘ 'vidna‘ls or organizations wishing to help in this very worthy undertak- ing- "may send their donation to clerk A. J.

There are several stained glass windows, and no Ang- lican Church is complete without their beautifying effect. Thrse are dedicated to the memory of John and Mary Brown, William Frederick Carter, and George Thomas Carter. Other windows of a recent date are dedicated to the memory of Robert Dilworth Campbell, and William Robert Patton. The vestry windows are in appreciation of the services of Rev. B. S. Greene of Fort George. During the early years of its his- tory St. Mary’s was served from Thornhill, and the services were held at 3 p.m. except once a month when Holy Communion was held at 11 a.m. In 1916 it was decided to make St. Mary’s a separate parish, this being ‘made possible with the help of a grant from the Mission Board. In recent years St. Mary’s has been entirely self supporting, carrying on without the assistance of outside funds or endowments. At times the going was uphill, at times matters were almost at a stand-still, but of late the going has been easier. and St. Mary’s is taking her place and making her contribution in the Dean- FIT!” cry, and in the Diocese. . l mrrvmrn/HAAHr. The church is a beautiful example of the early decorative English ’stylé of architecture, and standing on high ground at the southern approach of the village is admired by many. The land for the new church was given by the late John Arnold of the Hermitage, and his wife was asked to name the new church. She chose “St. Mary’s”. The congrega- tion could' not have been given a better location for their church, On Sunday next, December 11th, the members and friends of St. Mary’s Anglican Church, will as- semble to return thanks for sixty- six years of the ministrations of the church in the present building. Be- fore St. Mary’s Church was built in 1872 the congregation worshipped in Dr. Duncomb’s Church across the road from the present church. Doc- tor Duncornb had built a. brick church himself, evidently the first Church of England in Richmond Hill. This church was destroyed by fire.
