Mquck Residence 148 to' RTCEHMOND HILL, ONTARIO THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2nd, 1939 i A case of considerable importance, linvolving a point in law, came be- ‘fore the Dominion Board of Railway |Commissioners this week. In May last Vaughan Council passed a reso- lution authorizing their Reeve and 'Clerk to sign Plans and Profiles of the diversion of a road at Nashville, 9th Con., Vaughan, near Kleinburg station, provided that said plans and profiles are first approved by the solicitor for the 'Township. The diâ€" version of the road had been asked [by the Civil Engineer for the C.P.R. The plans and profiles had not been presented to Mr. W. H. Grant, Vaughan’s solicitor, but the C. P. R. closed the road. At the November meeting Vaughan Council rescinded the former resolution, and instructed the CPR. Co. to have the fences re- moved, and the roadway put into pro- per condition for public travel. As the Company did not move in the matter the fence was taken down by order of Reeve Devins. The 'C.P.R. then took the case before the Rail- way Board. The case was dismissed after a §hort argument by the so- licitors on either side. Judge Mabee charged strongly against the C.P.R. for their endeavors to close a public highway in an illegal manner. cial time together. Rev. Mr. McCul- lough made an admirable chairman. A musical program was presented and at the proper time Mr. Harrison was called to the platform where a splendid address was read and he was presented with a purse of $50 and a beautiful gold watch suitably en- graved. Mr. Harrison, although deeply affected, made an able and feeling reply and thanked all for the wonderful gift and address. Several speeches by others were given dur- ing the evening and'coffee and re- freshments served. THIRTY YEARS AGO ! From our Issue of January 28. 1909‘ When it :became known a short time ago that Mr. Wm. Harrison, who had been superintendent of the Methodist Sabbath School for the past 40‘ years, had definitely decided to resign his position, a number of the friends resolved on showing their appreciation to a certain extent for his faithful and valuable services. It soon became known that many who had removed from the Village were anxious to join in the testimonial, therefore a large number assembled in the school room of the church on Wednesday evening and spent a so- Dr. Shaw has purchased the medi- cal practice of Dr. Hutchison and will in course of a few days move his family to the Village to reside. Dr. Shaw lately practiced: his profes- sion in Markham where he was very successful and popular with all classes. Since then he has been pur- suing courses of study in the great hospitals of New York and Chicago and has just finished .a holiday in California.

On behalf of the congregation Mr. A. L. Phipps read the address and Mr. James McLean and- Mr. R. S. Cooper made the pre- Sentation. Mr. Sims made a suitable reply.

Keenan & Walker, chartered accountants was accepted to audit the books in connection with the Vil- lage, including school books for the sum of "$100. The Board» of Educa- tion handed in a requisition for $12,- 000 for P. S. purposes and $6,000 for the H. S.

Last year the provincial leg- islature amended the High School Act reducing the number from three to one. The move was introduced by Reeve Knowles of Aurora, who ask- ed the county to petition the depart- ment of education to revert to the former system. Reeve Clark of Leaâ€" side oppose& the motion. “One! re- presentative is plenty,” he stated. “We are continually complaining of too much government and now it is cut down we want to change it in’i- mediately.” Reeve Greene of Rich‘ mond Hill urged that the new .sy5< tem be given a year’s trial. A clergyman named Jordan had a son at college. The son was about to take his final examination and naâ€" turally the father asked the boy to let him know as soon as possible how he got on. One day the father re- ceived a telegram which read: “Hymn 254, verse five, last two lines.” Look- ing up the reference in the hymnâ€" book he read: “Sorrow vanquished», la‘bor ended, Jordan passed.” At a recent meeting Elton Arm- strong was re-elected president of the Aurora Horse Show for the coming A Scottish teacher set his class writing an essay on Armistice, and one little girl produced this sent- ence: “The Armistice was signed on on November 11, 1918, and' since then we have had two mlinutes’ pleace every year.” year York County Council has named Thomas H.

GENERAL NEWS AND VIEWS FIFTEEN YEARS AGO James Steacy of Portland has been charged with cruelty to animals. He is alleged to have lit a fire under a team of horses When they were un- able to move a heavy load on slip- pery ice. Provincial Constable Mor- ley Durnford said the animals were so .badly burned they had to be de- stroyed. 'A knotty problem for the Hud- son’s Bay Companyy Whose charter, granted in 1670, calls for them to produce a couple of live elk and a pair of black beavers as tribute to a visiting monarch, has been solved. The king has agreed to accept in- stead two mounted elk heads and two beaver skins. The presentation will “be made by Ashley Cooper, gov- ernor of the company, probably at Winnipeg on May 24.

THE LIBERAL .-----.. ‘ . u . . n o Banff Carnival Queen CUT THIS OUT this continent- A move to abolish the office of deputy warden, created two years ago, was made in ‘York county coun- cil last week. Council adopted a resolution moved :by Deputy Reeve A. A. Johnston of Leasid‘e author- izing the by-law for the abolition of the office. “By some unwritten rule it seems the deputy wardenship has become a stepping‘ stone to the warden’s chair,” Deputy Reeve Johnston de- clared. “I have nothing against the present men in those two officesY but I don’t think the warden should ‘be elected two years in advance.” famous Rocky Mountain Carnival. Clear, crisp, mountain air, tower- ing peaks, and amazing hos ital- ity contribute toward making the Banff Carnival one of the Conâ€" tinent’s outstanding winter sport fests. Skiers find it the gateway to the internationally known areas at Skoki, Sunshine and Lake Louise. A strange disease among the cattle in the district is causing farmers in the surrounding; townships great con- cern. Although they appear healthy the cattle will die instantly and a thorough examination of the carcass fails to reveal anything out of the ordinary. “After I was finished milking I drove my cattle to a creek for wat- er,” stated Clifford Ford, St. Vinâ€" cent farmer. “When the cattle re- turned I noticed my best cow was missing. I walked to the creek and found her lying dead. Last week I fed a yearling steer at noon and when I returned to the stable at three o’clock the animal was stiff, |having apparently died suddenly. Similar losses have been reported- by Loftus McConnel and Howard Adams. It is definitely not “black leg” or “neuritus pneumonia” which killed dozens of cattle in. the disâ€" trict last winter. The intestines of one of the stricken animals is to be sent to Toronto in an effort to solve the trouble. Liberal advertisements pay SINGLE COPIES 5c. $1.50 PER YEAR IN ADVANCE N0. 31.
