The object is to establish a factory for the manufacture of ladies’ fine foot- wear, as there is not such an estabâ€" lishment in Canada. The company would guarantee to employ between 60 and 60 skilled workmen, and the annual pay roll would be about $20,- |000. The promoters, ask a bonus of $15,000. It is safe to say that no body of Freemasons in the Province have a prettier lodge room in which to hold their meetings than the Masonic brethren of Richmond Lodge. The stairway, the ante-room, the prepar- ation room and the lodge room pro- per have all been re-p‘ainted and papered, and present a very hand- some appearance.

ON'l 81 The young men of the town held la Skating Party in the rink on Mon- lday evening. The Band gave 3. L7 splendid program of music, and the _ two hours spent on the ice were thoroughly enjoyed. After leaving the rink the guests all proceeded to ‘ the Masonic Hall where refresh- L |ments were provided by the young ladies. I One of the prettiest carnivals ever given in the Village was held in the rink last evening under the auspices iof the Fire Brigade. There was a 'large number of masquerades, and Imany of the costumes were ex- tremely pretty. The military parade and drill under the supervision of drill selgeant Johnston and Capt. Sanderson, was very good and the irepresentation of the engagement are being upholstered, and every- thing in the interior is male to correspond. The rooms are certainly very fine, and the worl: reflects much credit on Mr. W. Hewison who did the job. The audited accounts of the Vill- age Treasurer have been printed, and are being distributed among the rate-payers. The balance of Assets over Liabilities is given as $7,730.57, the only liability against the Vill- age being $5,156.76 for High School Debentures. The cash balance in the hands of the treasurer is between the First Canadian Con- tingent and the Transvaal Boers at Sunnyside was quite realistic. Memâ€" bers of the Village band gave a good programme of music, which added to the enjoyment of skating. The proceeds amounted to about $30. The ice was in good condition, and every skater seemed to enjoy the pleasurable exercise. the h: $3 70.34 THIRTY YEARS AGO From our Issue of Feb. 10th, 1910 The Equalization Committee of the York County Council reported an increase of $80,000 in Vaughan assessment, $80,000 in King, 3100,- 000 in Markham, and a decrease of $50,000 in North Gwillimbury. Af- ter adopting the committee’s report, York County Council adjourned on Saturday afternoon to meet again on June 6th. Our hockey team is still keeping up its reputation by winning some more matches. Last Saturday they went to Wloodbridge and defeated the home team by 5 goals to 0, and also defeated Kleinburg the same day by 5 to 2. At a meeting of the Board of Trade Monday evening acting on the suggestion of Fire Chief H. Mills, a resolution was passed requesting the Village c0uncil to appoint a com- mittee to visit Bradford and other towns with a view of improving our waterworks and fire appliances. The following officers were ap- pointed at the annual meeting of the Board of Education: Chairman, G. A. Duncan; Vice-Chairman, Rev. E. Kelly; ,Sec.-Treas., R. S. Cooper; Committee of Management, Kelly, Gee, F. Atkinson; Finance, Wright, Glass, J. Atkinson; Property, Mrs. Perry, Cowie; Attendance Officer, G. Smith; Public Library, H. B. Stirling. The report of High School Inspector Rogers was read, which was very satisfactory. The Board requested the Village Council to make From our Issue of Feb. 12th, 1925 a levy for school purposes as fol- lows: Public School, $11,000; High School, $6,500. The Board decided to hold the monthly meetings durâ€" ing the year in the Public School. At a meeting of the Official Board of the Methodist circuit Tuesday ev- ening, an invitation was extended to the Pastor, Rev. H. S. Warren, to remain another year as Superin- tendent of the circuit. Mr. Warren thanked the members for their mark of appreciation, but asked time to consider before giving a definite answer. 11 The annual vestry meeting of St. John’s Church, Oak Ridges, was held on Monday afternoon, Jan. 26, with a good attendance. The reports of all the work of the church were most enthusiastic, showing it was one of the best years in the history of the church. The wardens report- ed a balance of $145.00 after all was paid, including the increase in the Rector’s salary, and the stud- ent’s salary for the summer months. red with vith gilt FIFTEEN YEARS AGO )1 the offi ue paper, do The chandel THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 15th, 1940 The Rev. G. Dix, Presbyterian Min- ister of Trrro. Nova Scotia, was named as a candidate to contest the riding of North York at the con- vention called by the North York Conservative Association and held at Newmarket last Saturday after- noon. Rev. Dix will oppose the re- election of Col. W. P. Mulock, the member of the last Parliament. The Rev. Dix was chosen after several well known figures in the riding de- clined to stand. Those nominated in addition to Rev. Dix but who de- clined included Capt. Harold Breuls, the Conservative candidate in the last election, Clifford Case, K.C., former Conservative member of the Legislature, Dr. Boulding of Aurora and Dr. Boyd of Newmarket. The Rev. Dix was the Reconstructionist party candidate in the last election when he lost his deposit, polling less than half the number of votes polled by the successful candidate. Officers of the North York Con- servative Association elected were as follows: President, Jack Nesbitt; vice-presidents, Frank Reeves, Paul Angle and Mrs. W. A. Duncan; sec- retary, Arleigh Armstrong; assistâ€" ant secretary, Nelson Boylen; treas- urer, Dr. S. J. Boyd. Rev. G. Dix is Conservative Choice in N. York There was a good attendance at Y.P.U. last Sunday evening. Elinor Oliver, missionary convenor, was in charge of the meeting. An article, “‘He rules the world with Truth and Grace”, explaining the revival of World Truth was read. There was also a reading and discussion on the “Revolt against Hinduism in India”. George Carley gave guitar selec- tions. Minister The Teston Y.P.U. held a tobog- arming party Friday evening, Feb. 9th on the hills near Lewis Dice- man’s. After many thrills and spills the group had lunch at Frank Piercey’s with Miss Jean Robson as hostess. A pleasing feature of this festive gathering was the introducâ€" tion of “The Teston Tatleif”, a new feature of the society. This paper will no doubt be very popular. There was a good representation from Teston at the King- Training School last Sunday evening. Miss Dorothy Castator, Toronto, spent the week-end with Miss Hazel Carson. Miss Charlotte Douglas, Weston, was a visitor over the week-end with her friend, ETinor Oliver. Miss Mildred Mond and Mr. Har- vey McIntyre were visitors with Alex and Mrs. MacDonald Sunday, Miss Lorna Henderson spent the week-end with Miss Jean Robson.
