A letter was read from the High School Hockey Club asking the use of the Rink on Thurs- day afternoons from 3 to 5 o'clock. The clerk was instructed to notify From our Issue of January 14, 1909 Mr. H. J. Winch of the second con- cession of Markham has a Morning Glory in full bloom, something un- usual at this season of the year. The annual curling match of the President vs. Vice-President was played in the Rink last Friday af- ternoon and evening. The ice was in good condition. President Cowie won from Vice-President Savage ‘by 8 points after a keen contest. Jackson Bros. of Maple, a short time ago While sinking a well on the farm of Mr. Henry Heis-e, lot 26, con. 3, Markham, struck a flow which will give the proprietor an anundant supply of excellent water. The new well pasily flows 3‘0 barrels a day. . x.â€" "1 The tall chimney of the Metropoli- tan building at Bond's Lake is rear- ing its. head higher and higher so that already it can be seen at almost any part -of the Ridges. It is now about 100 feet from the ground, and‘ will be run up 25 ft. higher. Al- though there has been 50mg severe weather the work at the Power House progresses, and every week brings it nearer to completion. Mr. John Stephenson of Union- ville, clerk and trcasurer of Mark- ham Township, was in the Village Tuesday. and attended the funeral of the lat-e Mr. J. M. Lawrence. JP. The funeral took place from- his son's residence, Tuesday after- noon, when the remains were laid in the family plot in Richmond Hill Cemetery. Rev. G. MoCulloeh, as- sisted fby Rev. J. A. Grant, had charge of the service. Besides the immediate relatives and‘ old friends. from the Village many were present from a distance, particularly offi- cials from Vaughan Township, with Whom he had worked so long, includ~ ing' A.

Saigeon, audi- tors; Dugald‘ McDonald, collector. Besides his, widow, he leaves a son, Mr. A. G. F. Lawrence, barrister, Toronto. . Until albout two years ago Mr. J. M. Lawrence had for a numlber of years previously enjoyed good' health. Since that time he gradually failed, and the endl came at the residence of his son in Toronto early Sunday morning last. Deceasedl was the eldâ€" est son of the late Lieut-‘Col. A. 0. Lawrence, who was of U. E. Loyalist parentage. He was .born below Richâ€" mond Hill on Yonge Street on- the 26th August, 1827. He lived all his life in or near the Village, and for a time was engaged in keeping a general store at Elgin Mills. On the 19th November, 1857, he was married to a daughter of the late George Arksey, who survives him. He was appointed by the late Judge Boyd‘ in 1864, Clark of No. 3 Divi- sion Court in the County of York, and in March, 1868, was made Clerk and; Treasurer of Vaughan, both of which positions he held until his death. He was a Justice of the Peace but for some years past how- ever, owing to ill health, he avoided as much as possible active work as WAY BACK IN LIBERAL FILES From our Issue of January 19, 1899 The hockey match last Thursday between the Meteors of Toronto and the home team was fast and intcr- esting. After a sharp contest the Hill team won by 4 games to 2. ‘The sporting public of this town may look for something unusually good tonight when the Masseyâ€"Har- ris Company’s team engage in a hockey game with our own boys. The Company’s team which is picked from about 5000 employees, is composed- of some of Toronto’s swiftest play- ers some of Whom are playing memb bers of league teams. No one needI fear being disappointed! with the showing the Massey-Harris Company will make and as to what the home tram can do those who have seen know and those who have not, come and see. THIRTY YEARS AGO FORTY Y EARS AGO At a meeting in Richmond: Hill on January 6th the Toronto and Yonge Street Hockey League was formed! composed of Anglo-American Fire Insurance Company, Richmond Hill and Aurora teams.

It will be a statutory holiday. Since King George’s acces- sion to the throne, his birthday has been celebrated in Canada on June 9, although the actual date of his birth- day is Dec. 14th. However, the date was moved to May 20 this year so that it will be celebrated while the King and Queen are in Ottawa dur- ing their tour of Canada. the club that they could have the use of the rink on the day and at the hours mentioned for a fee of $2.00 with fire, or $1.50 without fire, for each time the Rink is used, the club to notify the caretaker any time the Rink is not required. 0n mo- tion the council adjourned to meet on Monday, January 18th. A. J. Hum-e, clerk. An item has appeared in a num- ber of papers stating that Operat- ors’ 1938 permits for motorists ex- pired- with the calendar year. Like license plates, they are good until March- 31. Toronto is getting a most unenvi- able reputation with its gangsters, racketeers, robbers and various other kinds of criminals operating with in- creasing boldness. General News & Views J. H. Elliott, Markham Township farmer, was plowing Wednesday, Jan. 11th and reported very little frost in the ground". Bernice Cook of 13 Roseview Ave- nue, Richmond Hill celebrated her 13th birthday last Friday, January the 13th. One very good way to show re- spec and consideration for your neig hours and your town is to keep the snow and ice well sh‘ovelledi off the walks ad‘joining your preperty. Attention to this detail even reflects favorably on the tax rate of your town in reducing the premium on liability insurance. At the recent municipal election Bowmanville ratepayers voted 226 t0 201 in favor of engaging a public health nurse. Mrs. V. Wilcox has been app-oint- ed a member of the Aurora High School Board. This is the first time there has been a woman member of the Board in that town. Two women, .Mrs. A. A. Perry and Mrs. O. L. Wright have served on Richmond Hill Board' of Education. “How far can taxation go ?” asks George McCullagh of the Globe & Mail. Well, George'ought to know, his first step after goblbling up the Mail & Empire was to tax the read- ers a higher subscription rate for the “Globe_& Mail.” By a vote of 668 to 214 Bowman- ville ratepayers rejected a by-law to provide pay for mayor and mem- 'be1‘s of council. Dr. S. S. Ball has been appointed M.O.H. for Stouffville at a salary of $75 per year. “Freedom of the press” doesn’t mean We don’t want you to pay for your subscription. George Drew, Ontario ConservatiVe leader, will contest the East Simcoe seat made vacant by the resignation of W. A. Finlayson, Minister of Lands and' Forests in the Henry gov- ernment. The recent thaw has helped ma- terially in replenishing the water supply in many rural sections where a shortage previously existed. Sam C. Taylor, an exâ€"mayor of Aurora, died Tuesday, January 10th at the age of 72 years. Bothered with what he thought to be rats in the cellar of his home in Whitchurch, Norman Still set four groundhog traps to catch the pests who were making away with all his vegetables. During the night he heard a terrific commotion in the basement, and on investigation found a cotton tail with a front foot in one trap and' a hind foot in another. How' the rabbit ever got into the celler is a mystery to the Whit- church farmer. Mr. and Mrs. Jno. Thompson, Sum»- mit Hotel, Oak Ridges, celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary on‘ Wednesday, January 11th, and were tendered a reception by family mem- fbers to the number of 35.
