Music for the occasion was rendered by the church choir assisted by a quartette from Maple, composed of Mrs. Jackson, Mrs. Frank Rumble, Mr. Eldon Wade and Mr. B. Oliver. Accompanist for the quantette was Mrs. Eldon Wade. Ap- proximately three hundred persons enjoyed the fowl supper on Wednes- day evening. The entertainment which followed the supper was pre- sented by a group of artists includ- 'ing' Miss Janey Nattress, vocalist; “Miss Janey Bartholomew, elocution- ‘ist; the Wallace boys, instrumental- ists and singers, and the Coral Is- \lanlders. The Rev. C. Bailey acted 'as chairman for the event. A special church service and a fowl supper and entertainment were staged by the Kleinburg Uniteti Church W.A. during the past week. On Sunday evening the special ser- vice was held in the church with Mrs. Duncan McLeod, who spent 30 years as a missionary in Formosa, as guest speaker.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 15th, 1938. Markham Village ratepayers will vote on a by-law to provide that, the annual assessment of lands and other property for a factory for the lmanufacture of yarns, woollen goods, letc., be placed. at not more than $31,000 per year, for a period of ten { years. ' In Richmond Centre, composed of Vaughan township and the villages of Richmond Hill and Woodbridge, the only men heard of yet are the present ‘members, Messrs. W. H. Pugsley and G. W. High, but others may be brought into the field on the day of nomination. In Markham division, composed of Markham township and Markham village, there is sure to be a con- test. Besides the two present memâ€" bers, Messrs. Hall and Reesor, the Markham Economist says that Jona- than Slater and Wm. Milliken are mentioned as probable candidates as the west part of the division feel they are entitled to one member. At a meeting of the Presbyterian congregations of Richmond Hill and Thornhill Tuesday even'ng a “call” was extended to Rev. E. C. Currie of Sarnia, as successor to the late Rev. J. A. Grant. A meeting was held last Friday evening to organize the Hockey Club for the season 1908 and 1909. A goodly number of supporters was in attendance. It was decided to at- tempt to organize‘a league consistâ€" ing of the following teams: Aurora, Richmond Hill, Thornhill and the Angl‘mAmerican Fire Insurance Company’s team. The following off- icers were elected: Hon. Pres, J. H. Sanderson; President, George Sims; Vice-President, F. W. Hall; 2nd Vice- President, N. J. Glass; Secretary- Treasurer, C. E. Hall; Captain, C. Glover; Managing- Committee, R. Palmer, A. Savage, F. Boyle. In King the present members, Messrs. J. ‘C. Stokes and R; Norman may be opposed by R. Mchutcheon and Archie McCallum. Europe has no monopoly of dic- tators. Give any person power, with nothing to féar and no one to hold him responsible, and he will abuse underlings. From our Issue of Dec. 10th, 1908 In Markham township most of the present council will run again, but it is said that Mr. D. C. Steele de- sires to drop out. In Vaughan all the old members are expected to offer themselves aâ€" gain and several other councillors are spoken of as likely candidates. When Mr. George Metcali' went down into the basement of the Me- thodist church Sunday evening after service he observed sparks dropping1 from the chimney pit. He at once called Mr. J. H. Sanderson and they then learned that a fire had been in progress for some time. In ex- tinguishing the fire Mr. Sanderson had his face considerably scorched. Fortunately the building was saved but for a time it looked dangerous enough. Municipal Elections There has been little stir in Rich- mond Hill so far as to the coming munici-palelections. In all probability all the members of the present coun- cil will stand for another year. The farm of the late Robt. Marsh, offered for sale by public auction at the Palmer House on Saturday by Messrs. Eckardt and Prentice, did not reach the reserve bid, and conse- quently did not change hands. The- highest bid, $10,150, was made by Mr. D. Boyle of this Village. We notice that our post office is furnished with a very pretty new set of scales from the Past Office Department at Ottawa. The old scales which were the Postmaster’s private property and used by him since his appointment to office, 48 years ago, are no longer to be used for post office purposes. Mr. Teefy should place them among his other ancient relics. ' The thermometer registered 13 de- grees below zero Tuesday morning at. the post office. We believe this is a record-breaker for the 13th of December. ‘ The first game of curling was played in the rink on Tuesday. Rink will be open to skaters on Saturday evening of th‘s week. A new roof of tar and other in- gredients has been put on the Palm- er House. Fortunately the men got through previous to the cold snap. WAY BACK IN LIBERAL FILES From our Issue of Dec. 15th, 1898 THIRTY YEARS AGO FORTY YEA RS AGO Svtouffville, Markham, Aurora and East York will play in a Junior O.H.A. group this winter. Newmai; ket has an intermediate O.H.A. team and is grouped with 01-i11ia, Sutton and Gravenhui‘st. Prospects for hockey in Richmond Hill look pretty slim. ' Instead of being the “day of rest and gladness," pictured by the hymn writer, Sunday is becoming more “a day of rush and madness”â€"anld too often, sadness, says The Owen Sound Sum-Times. It quotes an American insurance company as saying: ‘fM-ore automobile accidents, resulting in both dead and injuries, happen on Sunday than any other day, in spite of the fact that upon the Sabbath there is less traffic congestion" in towns and cities and fewer pedes- trians abroad than on any other day of the week.”â€"Listowel Banner.

When plann- iné your own bountiful Christmas think of those to whom the pros- pect of Christmas eve is not so bright. A woman recently attempted t9 evade the Irish customs on her new ermine coat, bought at a bargain price in London, by wearing it past the customs barrier. An official sus- pected the trick and asking the woe man for her coat, went away to have it tested for newness. When he returned, the downcast guilty one, bag open, asked how Ynuch she would have to pay. “Nothing,” said the official cheerfully. “There’s no duty on rabbit.” Imagination is makes a woman a' hat that she ‘ at last year. According to reports from Whit- ehurch Twp. there is a possibility of a municipal election there this year. The name of Dan Hall is mentioned as a possible council candidate, and the Reeve and deputyâ€"reeve may have opposition. Better be careful Mr. Hepburn. You can’t "spot" a fellow of the calibre of George Drc-w too many and hope to win. He lke yourself “has something on the ball”. I. D.

Stouffville Christma' market day is December 20th. ‘ Electors of North York Township voted with a large majority for a dental service in the schools. The vote was 1256 in favor and 365 op- posed. The annual banquet of the King United Farmers Club was held "in McDonald and Wells’ hall, King Wed- nesd‘ay evening. The speaker was A. B. Hodgetts of Pickering College. The vote piled up by Burnell Gra- ham as a candidate for King Town- ship council Was a notable feature of the municipal election in that municipality. A successful Schem- berg business man, operator of a planing mill, Mr. Graham is said to have a thorough knowledge of many of the township’s baffling problems. He enters his public career enjoy- ing the confidence of “me electors to a degree not given to many who first, aspire to municipal life. We wish him well. The final and statutory meetings of all municipal councils throughout Ontario were held toâ€"day. The vote for deputy-reeve in Ward 2, North York was Hurlbut 1281, Iris 553. Geo. H. Mitchell defeated R. Phillips in Ward 3, 1129 to 749. You can no longer sh0p early, but anyway shop as early as possible. What Canada needs is a good old fashioned winter.

Secretary R. E. Ratclfd’ and Trea- surer Win Timbers each reported on the progreSS of the match held 0c- tober 20. The day was the worst and only bad one during the fall season, but despite this handicap, the entry list was larger than the‘ year before. The treasurer present-e ed his report which had been audit- ed showing that cash of nearly $200 and goods of a still larger amount had been paid out for the match. A small but snug balance is left in the bank. Just how interesting and practiâ€" cal the study of science can be, was demonstrated by Professor J. 0. Wilâ€" helm of, the Physics Department of the University of Toronto, at the “open night” gathering of the Wood- bridge Presbyterian Men’s Associa- tion on Tuesday. Prof. Wilhelm kept his audience in rapt attention for fully an hour as he explained in an interesting and often humorous way the properties of liquid air, perform- ing- various experiments as he went along. Many ladies of the congre- gation were present as guests of the association. The musical part of the program was presented by two yOu-ng men from Toronto, Mr. John Kerr sang several 50105, accompanied at the piano by Mr. Russ-ell Collier who also played for the community sing- ing. Mr. John Gillan, the President, presided, while Rev. J. S. Roe intro? duced those taking part on the pro- gram. fiCleaning and a Pressng The match for 1939 may be held in the Aurora district as an invita- tion was received to hold it on the farm of Mr. Walter Wood. Five years ago the second largest match in the history of the association was held on this farm. The Men’s Association have plans almost completed for their January gathering which is to take place near the anniversary date of birth of Robert Burns, and an outstanding speaker will deliver the address on the Scottish poet.
