THURSD’AY, JANUARY my, 1939. meeting of the Vaughan Sabfbath School Institute was held in the Lutheran Church, Sherwood, on ‘Thurs-day and Friday of last week. :The programme as advertised was :carried out almost to the letter.

From our Issue of January 21, 1909 There was a good crowd and a good‘ time at the Hockey and Ska-t- ing Carnival in the rink last even- ing. Hai‘bord Collegiate Institute won the match from the home team by a score of 3 to 2. A quintette from the Newmarket Band furnished good music and lots of it. Two rinks of the Curling Club went ‘to the city on Wednesday and took part in the competition for the Ontario Tankard. They were defeat- ed by the Torontos in their first game .by 25 shots. Our players could scarcely have expected to win the trophy as" the players had only been selected a day or two before the matches and consequently had prac- tically no time to practice together. Baker-Reaman A very pretty home wedding was solemnized at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. D. S. Reaman, ‘Carrville, on Thursday, January 14, when their daughter, Lucy Ethel, was united' in marriage to Mr. Ernest A. Baker of St. Claude, Mam, formerly of Carrâ€" ville, son of James Baker of Moor- wood Farm. The bride entered the parlor on the arm. of her father, wearing a princess gown of white embroidered mull and carrying a bouquet of pink American Beauty roses and maiden hair fern. She was attended by her sister, Miss Pearl Reaman. The groom was supported ‘by his brother, Mr. Will Baker. Af- ter the ceremony was performed by Rev. Philip Jones of Maple the guests partook of the wedding breakfast, after which Mr. and Mrs. Baker left on the 7.40 car for Toronto. amid showers of rice and‘ good wishes of their many friends. They left for their future home at St. Claude on Saturday the‘16th. The guests in- cluded Rev. and Mrs. Jones, Mr. and Mrs. James Baker, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Tyndall of Richmond Hill, Mr. and Mrs. John Prentice of Unionxvill‘e, Mr. and Mrs. Coombs of Maple, Miss Nita andI Mr. Sidney Baker of Cari-ville, Miss Ethel Patterson of ‘Carrville, Mr. Edgar Bowes‘ of Concord, Ken- neth Campbell and Misses Nellie and Estelle Campbell of Carrville.

The burying ground will be enlarged considm'nhlv. Mrs. Wm. Knight has disposed of her dwelling house and shop at Maple to Mr. W. O. McDonald of Purple- ville. The funeral of the late Mrs. John Kinnee took place at Maple on Mon- day afternoon and was largely at- tended. After the interment a ser- vice was held in the church conduct- ed by Rev. J. W. Stewart. Rev. A. J. Toye, a former pastor, took part in the services. FIFTEEN YEARS AGO From our Issue of January 24, 1924 Mr. Robert Johnston, sporting edi- tor of The Liberal Staff, returned Saturday evening after a very plea- sant week spent with rcla‘ives in Huron County after an absence of thirty years. Mrs. P. C. Hill, life member of the Canadian Red Cross, attended the am nual' meeting of the Ontario branch, which was held at Government House on Monday, January 2.15t, at the in- vitation of the Lieut.-Governor and Mrs. Cockshutt.

I i Ratepayers’ Meeting | The monthly meeting of the Rate- ;payers’ Association was: held in the Public School Monday evening. Mr. :J. McLean: reported that the proposal {to giiant a sum of money for the lerection of a tannery was not con- sidered. Mr. Pugsley had no report regarding a chartered accountant to audit the Village and school accounts nor had Messrs. Cowie and Wright a report from the Board of Educa- tion re sanitary conditions at the {Masonic Hall rooms. Regarding im- lprovement of electric light, President Greene hoped to give a report at 1 next meeting. The question of a new High School was again discussed. The great majority of those who spoke were in favor of commencing opera- tions as speedin as possible, but that the Board should endeavor to keep down the expense as low as in con- sistent with a good building. Befrre closing, a resolution moved by R. En- dean, seconded by W. Wel'lmam, was carried, asking the Board to discuss the question with the ratepayers at a pdlblic meeting. The question of purchasing a snow plow for the Vil- lage was also discussed. A pleasant feature of the evening was the pres- entation of fountain pens to Mr. L. Teetzel and Miss F. M. Brown, Sec- retary and Assistant Secretary re- spectively, for the excellent work they did last summer in connection with the Old Boys and Girls Reun- ion. Both recipients made appropri- ate replies in thanking the donors. Officers for the current year were appointed as follows: President, L. Teetzel; First ViceaPresid'ent, H. Dav- is; 2nd Vice-President, T. F. Mc- iMahon; Treasurer, H. Morden; Sec- retary, not appointed.

Graham who died Wednesday of last week in his 43rd year, took place from his home on Church Street, Sat- urday afternoon. The service was taken by Rev. J. W. McIntosh, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, followed by the Masonic service in which sev- eral Grand Lodge officers took part. More than 70 members of the Order from Toronto, Thornhill, Maple and other lodges marched to the grave, and paid their trihute of esteem to lthe late brotherwho at the time of his death filled the position of Junâ€" ior Warden in RichmOnvd‘ Lodge. In the Lodge Room after the funeral several of the brethren spoke feel- ingly of the sterling character of deceased who was an enterprising Lcitizen, a true friend and. a faithful 'Mason. The deepéStSEympathy is felt for his widow and four children, Ihis mother, brothers and sisters, his father having passed away only a week previous. paying a surprise visit to Miss Smart. After a social evening of games Mr. Allen Armstrong read the address, and Miss Patton presented Miss Smart with a silk um'brella on behalf of the mem’bers of the choir.

General News & Views We experienced the first real bliz- zard of the winter last Sunday. A terrific gale, lots of loose snow and a temperature of nearly zero com- bined to make it one of the old time winter days. Legislation aimed at legalizing sweepstakes in Canada will again be sought in the House of Commons this session, a bill to that effect be- ing contemplated by Vital Mallette (Li"b.Y Jacques Cartier). J. B. McGroarty, 54, a native of WoodIbl-idg'e, but a resident of Winni- peg for the past 24 years died Jan- uary 18th. He is survived by two sisters Mrs. J. Rhyndvress and Mrs. J. Duggan and a brother T. McGro- arty, all of Toronto. Citizens of this district will be in- terested to know that Rev. E. C. Currie, of Creemore, in the Presby- tery of Barrie, and a former minis- ter of Richmond Hill Presbyterian Church, was nominated for moder- ator of the Synod of Toronto and Kingston at a recent meeting of the Guelph Presbytery of the Presbyterâ€" ian Church, held in St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, Guelph, recent- ly. James Graham, Sutton, died at the Sutton private hospital on Sunday in his 86th year. He suffered a stroke about six weeks ago. He was for many years proprietor of the Mansion House. He was born at Pefferlaw and. grew up there. His wife died about six months ago.

Kennedy, treasurer, report- ed a cash balance on hand and an increase in missionary givings for 1938 at the annual meeting of Knox Presbyterian church, Agimcourt, last week. A final payment during the year cleared the church of debt, he reported. The church was built at a cost of approximately $25,000 one year after church union. Dr. Alex. Doherty and William Nicol were re- elected to the board of managers. James Muirhead was in charge of the meeting, assisted by the minis- ter, Rev. A. C. Jamieson. North Gwillimbury Township sur- prised many residents with their de- cision to appoint Fred Peel, of Kes- wick, to be the new clerk of the Township, succeeding the late Fred 'VanNorman. who died- between the election and the first meeting of the new council. Many of those in attendance had expected that one of the former clerks would be appointed. Mr. Peel, who has lived in the Township for about five years, operates Kesrwick mill, and has become very highly re‘ garded during his residence in Kes- wick. All the other township officials and appointees, who were rumored to have been due for a “housecleaning‘,” were re-appointed.â€"Newmarket Ex- press-Herald.
