George Walwin of Richmond Hill shot his third fox of the season last Saturday. When it comes to shoot- ing foxes, the slogan is “let George do it". The thermometer hit 11 below Monday night for the record low of the present winter. Two ladies were in Richmond Hill last week making a sidewalk survey of public opinion on Ontario Liquor laws. For what organization they worked is not known. ‘The Canadian Jewish Chronicle in a recent issue quotes Jimmy Dor- sey’s comtment:â€"â€"“The only thing that I] Duce can lick is Hitler’s boots.” In recent times it seems as if ev- ery time that; President Roosevelt makes a public Slpeech Hitler and Mussolini'make a run for the dug- outs, fearing the ‘bomtbsh-ell‘s. This is a true story of an incident in the life of a Richmond Hill stu- dent attending University. Going to the gym for a game of “squash”, (nothing whatsoever to do with vegetables), he placed his street clothes in his locker and enjoyed a periodI of exercise. Returning he was startled by the realization that he must have locked his key in the locker along with his trouser peck- ets. After all efforts at lock-picking failed, he finally called! an attendant who with a sharp file laboriously ruined the lock and allowed the door to fling open. Imagine his surprise on finding the locker empty. Conâ€" s'ternation reigned for a few min- utes, when by chance he opened the door of the next locker which was unlocked, and there safe and un- harmed were his clothes and belong- ings. Was his face red? The Village of Bolton has gone into the hotel business, for the rea- son that the owners of the property defaulted in their taxes and the council had nothing else to do but to take it over. Being the only hotel in the village, the council lchought it better to keep it running than to close it up. . The annual meeting of the Union-‘ ville Horticultural Society was held last week at the home of Mr. and ers. Edwin Dixon. A review of the 1940 business revealed the Society had a successful year. The treasur; er reportedI a balance of $50.00 on hand. It was decided to give a dona- tion of $10 to the British War Vic- tims Fund. Among the duties carâ€" ried out by the members last year were caring for the ‘C.N.R. Station yard, helping to plant trees in the village, and looking after the grounds of» the {following rural jschools: Milliken, Hagerman, Union- }ville, Buttonville and German Mills. The following officers were elected‘: President, Mrs. R. L. Stiver; Vice- Presidents, Miss M. Sommerville, Ml‘. Ed'win Dixon; Directors, Mrs. Edein Dixon, Mrs. N. Ogden, Mr. L. Mill- er, Mrs. S. Weatherill, Mrs. W. H- Thomson; Auditors, G. G. Maynard, R. L. Stiver. Some excitement has been caused in Whit/church township during the past few days when an agent for a private concern approached farmers on the second concession seeking perâ€" .mission to drill for oil on their farms. The area is said to extend along the second concession about three and three quarter mile-s extending east to Vandorf and north of Aurora sideroad, taking- in about 2,000 acres. Ground tests and the general geol- ogy of the land lead experts to be- lieve there may be oil in this neigh- hour-hood. , The farmers will be guaranteed against loss to their crops! through men drilling on their property and if oil is located they will receive an eighth of the revenue. It is expect- ed that a second meeting will be held in the near future. A representative of the company states that they are not selling shares, ask no bonus and' are pre- paretl to pay their way through their own resources. â€"â€"J.

FORTY YEARS AGO From our Issue of Jan. 18th, 1900 The hockey outlook in Richmond Hill this seas-on is unusually bright. Since organization the boys have been turning out well to practice :and have had already several good try outs. They are full of enthusi- asm and are trying to play clean hockey, not “rough house”â€"-a very difficult matter in such a rink as ours owing to the narrowneSs of the ice sheetâ€"some forty feet wideâ€"â€" anything like team play is almost impossible. To t'his is added the fact that the sides of the rink are not boarded which makes it more or less dangerous to the player-s. In spite of these drawbacks the local team will give a good account of them- selves in the home matches with out- side teams. The boys are a husky lot and with three practices a week they will improve greatly in the mat- ter of speed, shooting, playing their proper positions and a measure of eomfbination so far as possible in such close quarters. The personnel of the players is as foll0ws: The following officers have been elected for the Markham Township.l Agricultural Society: President, Rob-‘ ert Ash; First Vice-President, Wm.: Noble; Second Vice-President, Moses Hemmingiway; Sec.â€"Treas., John Davison; Directors, Alexander Rusâ€" sell, Alexander Pringle, E. A. Pen- nelll, William Grant, George Gorm- ley, Isaac Elliott, Edward Kirk, John F. Davison and J. B. Gould. Two Rinks from Th‘orn‘hill Curling Club came up Friday afternoon and played a friendly game with the curlers here. The visitors were de- f-eated by 1-0 points, but at another match in the evening they won from their opponents by 10 shots, thus making a‘ draw for the two matches. WAY BACK IN THE LIBERAL FILES At the Farmers" Institute held at Maple on Monday several) subjects of interest to farmers were discuss~ ed by several speakers. At the ev- ening meeting the hall Was crowdv- ed. The Hope Male Chorus Club was present in the evening and» sang a number of patriotic and other selec- tions. Mr. Wm. Meek, Well known in Markham Towns-hip, died) at his home at Victoria Square Friday afternoon after a lingering illness. Deceased was 72 years of age. He is sur- vived by a widow, four sons, Will- iam, Alonzo, Fred and Albert, and a daughter, Mrs. Thomas Read. Inter- ment: took place in Victoria Square cemetery Monday afternoon. Both skaters and spectators were delighted with the Skating Evening under t'he auspices of the Willing Workers? Mission Band Mond‘ay ev- ening. The receipts amounted to more than $40.00. From our Issue of Jan. 12th, 1911 H. CarrollLâ€"A good stick handler with considerable experience Who 'knows some of the fine points of rthe game. He will likely captain ‘the team in. the matches. . Stanley Tyndv‘allâ€"iA speedy, strong player with a good deal“ of dash who with more practice in shooting ought to make it interesting to a goal- keeper. J. G. Abreyâ€"Of, the Standard Bank a former member of the New Hamâ€" xblurgh team, a good. [bunch â€" is a stallwart striking figure on the ice and appears to understandi combina- tion work. He will make good. Vieth Brown,~ Jack and Willie Naiig'hfcon and: H. Palmerâ€"All prom- ‘is‘lel'well, Brown and Willie Naugh- ton are both fast, handle the puck well and after they leave to play in their positions will develop into firstaclass players. In addition to the above are the following: Earl Fairey, Wes Pal-met, Norman Boyle, Stanley McCpnaghy, Karl and Percy Hill, N. Tyndall and D. Atkinson in Goal. Some of whom with practice may findl a position on the team. Taking the bunch as a whole there is splendid material for a septette. It is hoped that the citizens will show their interest in this manly sport which from a spec- tator’s point of view when played clean is the best of all games.
