ON’I‘ARIOTTHURSDAY, DECEMBER 21st, 1939. the salary pointee has teacher, she fessional cer testimonials From our Issue of Dec. 16th, 1909 The Rewe and members of the Village Council have been given an option by Mr. Isaac Crosloy on a piece of land near the C‘.N.O. sta- tion in \which are a number of fine springs, which it is hoped will give an ample supply of water for all Village purposes. The council will get the water analyzed, and hope 'to have a waterworks engineer here ‘in a few days and get his advice as to the best means of collecting ‘the water and pumping it into a reservoir. If the water proves to ‘be first-class this will be 9 safer process than boring. For some time past, the need of an organization of some kind where the young people of the Presbyter- ian congregation might profitably spend their time and lend their tal- ent has been- felt, and! on Thursday, December 2nd, the pastor, Rev. Mr. Currie, called a meeting of the young people interested in onganiza- ticn. It was unanimously decided that a young people’s society, guild’ 'or debating clulb should be organ- ‘ized, and on Thursday evening lasrt another meeting was held, at which .‘a good representation of the young .people of the church was present. ‘A few explanations were made by Rev. Mr. Currie, and) brief discus- sions on the subject followed, after \which an organization, to be called the Presbyterian Guild, was formed, 'and officers were elected. It was decided that Friday night he the meeting night of the Guild, and‘ the first meeting will be held shOrtly after the New Year. I At the Good Roads 'ConventiOn held in Toronto last week profit- alble discussions took place which will likely bring- albout changes in the manner of mall-making within the Province in the near future. It seemed to 'be the unanimous opinion of all present that the leading,r roads of a county such as York must be under the management Olf county officers, and not controlled by the various townships; as 'at present. The Ontario Legislature will no doubt the asked to give a grant for the maintenance of leading county roads. The Masonic Hall was packed' to the doors Wednesday evening- when lthe High School gave their annual entertainment. The program was harried out to the letter, and prov- ‘ed very interesting to the large “audience. MT. D. Hill made an ex- cellent chairman, and the order was 'all that could be desired. Mr. With- eril, Principal, explained the class of work that was being taken at the High School, and referred to the numbers receiving certificates, and those promoted' from one form to another. Short and appropriate addresses were given by Rev. A. P. Brace and Rev. E. C. Currie, each speaking of the good work done in the school and a splendid musical programme was enjoyed by the large crowd. FIFTEEN YEARS AGO From our Issue of Dec. 18th, 1924 The barn and oufibuildings on the Cook farm, near ‘Carrville, occupied by James Woods, were burned to the ground Saturday evening. with their contents. The cattle and other animals were saved. A lantern ex- plosion is said to be the cause. A barn on the rear of Mr. Garnet Duncan’s farm, lot 40, was burned Tuesday night between nine and ten o’clock. In the barn Were about twenty tons of hay, and ten loads THIRTY YEARS AGO y named.

There go bwo ‘bom' _ ers." Commenting- on the problem as to whether Naziism should be spelt with one “i” or two the Alliston‘ Herald suggests that both eyes should be knocked out. British taxpayers declare that they would not mind the heavy war time imposts so much if the gov- ernment would take the income and IeaVe them the tax. ‘fWe havte war," said Mrs. Gould, chairman of fine British Women’s Lan‘or party, “but we hate injustice, persecution and tyranny more. That’s why we are fighting.” The will was opened and read: by the lawyer, as the widow listened in rapt attention. “To my beloved wife I bequeath all my property, both real and per- sonal,” read the lawyer, “including my pants, which she has wanted: to wear fOr thirty-five years." Judging from the utterances or some extreme isolationists the pro- per thing for Uncle Sam to do when trouble threatens anywhere in the world is to dig himself a good sized' hole, crawl in, and pull the hole in after him.

It is thought that some person went into the ‘barn to sleep, and carelessly dropped a match. Santa’s First Visit With so many fine stores in the Village, beautifully decorated,l in their holiday attire, Santa Claus, who arrived from the north Satur- day afternoon, was, for a time puzzled to find his headquarters in Davies’ stone. He turned: his car, however, a little south of The Lib- eral Office, and had- no difficulty in finding the place as a large crowd had collected outside the store. Santa soon got busy, and in the next ‘couple of hours, he talked and visit- ‘ed with hundreds of his young Vfriendvs, giving each ‘boy and girl 'a little Christmas gift. There was naturally great excitement, parents 'bringing their children many miles from Markham and Vaughan to see 'a real Santa Claus in toyland. ' At a meeting of the Richmond Hill Women’s Institute, the organ- ization went on record! as being in *favor of having women electedI to School Boards and on other public bodies. A special committee was appointed under the convenorship of Mrs. A. L. Phipps, to report on the advisability of selecting a candidate 'to put up as School Trustee to fill ‘one of the vacancies on the Board bf Education this year. It is un- derstood that this committee Is now ready to report, and that a woman lcandidate will be brought forward Ion nomination day who, it is hoped will also be endorsed by the W.C. YI‘.U., Home and School, Council, and other bodies of citizens interested in educational matters.
