As we look back over the past six years I think we must congratuâ€" late ourselves as a nation that we are in as happy a position as we are today. If we are at all inclined to feel pessimistic about the future or if we are unduly concerned With conditions today, I suggest a quick glance over the countries of the world will convince us that we have much to be thankful for. That here in Canada we well may thank God that our lot has been cast in a plea- sant place, that the future holds for us a prospect and a promise not en- (Continued on Page 6) return of their loved ones. The deep sympathy of Canada is with all who have been bereaved, and with those who have suffered impair- ment of body or mind, imprison- ment, privation or want.” These are the people who have paid the real cost of war. Let us never be unmindful of this fact. In the light of their sacrifice any of the burdens of war or peace pale in significance. I hope, we, as Canadâ€" ians irrespective of party, race or creed, may approach our postwar problems with a full appreciation of the terrible cost at which our libertv was bought. Undoubtedly this will be known as the transition parlia- ment, and the problems we must face include demobilization and rehabili- tation of our armed service person- nel, r'econversion of wartime to peaceâ€"time industry with its accom- panying dislocation of employment for thousands of our people, the de- velopment of international trade to provide markets for agriculture and other industries and to lending a helping hand in restoring peace and order to a world economy stagger- ing after six long years of devastat- ing war.

As soon as the necessary funds are raised work will be commenced and it is hoped that the rink will be ready for this year. The rink will be cushioned, lighted and suitable room erected for dressing purposes. It is the intention of the committee to have this stand all year so that box lacrosse could be played there. If they see fit a closed rink will be built in the future. The organization of Maple Young Men's Club are anxious to commence work on an open air skating rink for the Village of Maple to be erect- ed in Maple Village Park.

The driver claimed he could get 12 miles to the gallon of gas and that the car rides nicely at forty miles per hour. He also said the car be- longed to relatives who purchased it new for $218,000. The motor ran perfectly and sounded better than many cars on the road today. Seven tenders for a new sn0w plow and road maintainer were tabled at the regular meeting of Markham Township Council Monday. After several hours of discussing prices, council decided that nothing could he done until they viewed the graders in action. Companies in making their tender offered delivery from thirty days to the end of April. It is the intention of the council to have a new grader in operation before the first snow fall if possible. Sheep claims in the Township were paid to Wm. Young, 9th com; R. Mcâ€" Donald, 8th con.. and Fred Cole on the 9th con. to the amount of $250. Reeve Charles Hooper stated that this had been one of the worst years for sheep claims and that Markham township has suffered considerably this year. 1909 Rolls‘Royce Seen On Yonge St. Markham Considers Purchase 0f Grader Ml'.

Constable Howard Jackman, a member of the provincial police force for the past 15 years, resigned from the force this week. He joined the provincial police at London, Ont., and after serving there for six years, moved to Richmond Hill nine years ago.

A report is expected for the next meeting. The village barbers appeared be- fore council and asked that a byâ€"law be passed regulating hours that they may stay open. At a previous meetâ€" ing the council felt that this could be arranged a gentleman’s agreement and should be kept as such. Coun- ciilor Middleton in proposing the by- law stated that “I have no objec- tion to passing this, but I still main- tain that our by-laws are a farce. We have too many not being en- forced and why should we have more.” Reeve Neal: “Some day We may have sufficient police to enforce our by-laws but at present we have to carry on the best we can.” The Clerk was instructed to have the by- law preparedAfgr the next meeting. J. ‘Cas-sel of Stouffville was given the contract for laying a water main on Hall St., and extending the main on Baker Ave. to Markham Rd. This work will be done in a few weeks. The question of sewers, is still a problem for the Village council. It was learned at the Council meeting on Monday night that vitrified tile is now available but the hold-up would be on the building of the dis- posal plant, for which material is still lacking. Members of council were unanimous in favor of start- ing the work this year, if at all possible. The town engineer will be consulted and some action might be had before the next council meeting.
