CARL SHAW PLANNING for EXPANSION OF RURAL TELEPHONE SERVICE Plans are already under way for resuming the rural telephone expan- sion program suspended in 1940, when equipment and material became ur- gently needed for the armed forces. Surveys are being made to determine the needs and to provide the facts for carrying out plans to expand farm telephone service. The goal is to bring the telephone to the greatest possible number of farm families. To keep step with farm progress and to extend service to more farm families, the telephone industry is working on important new devices and methods. Kleinburg ability. St. Mary’s Anglican 73rd Anniversary The Richmond Hm Congregation June 1862". This book will be on display at the Anniversary Services on Sunday. (Continued from Page 1) Society of the Diorc're‘zge of Toronto_to Donated The Site The land upon which the present church was erected was given by the late John R. Arnold of “The Hermi- tage". site of the home of Mr. R. D. Little, and is dated January 20th, 1871. Other small lots of land were added by Mr. Arnold in 1879, and by his executors in 1926. It is said that the wife of the late John R. Arnold was asked to name the new church, and she called it ‘St. Mary’s’. The present church was built in 15:79 nnpnpd and dedicated on Sun- The present church was built in 1872, opened and dedicated on Sun- day, December 8th, second Sunday in Advent, 1872, and consecrated free of debt on Sunday, October 3rd, 19th Sunday after Trinity, 1880. St. Mary's Church became a separate parish on July 1st, 1921. The beautiful building is a good example of the early decorative Eng- lish style of architecture. The church built on high ground at the southern approach of the village was ideally situated, and its tall taper- ing spire pointing life’s travellers heavenward, may be seen for miles around. There are few church buildings built on this typically Eng- lish style to be found in this coun- try. In Toronto, the most outstand- ing example of this type is St. James Cathedral. It is probable that the architect of the Cathedral sug- gested the plan for St. Mary’s Church. We do know that it was the architect of the Cathedral who drew the final plans for the enlarge- ment of the vestry which was com- pleted during the early part of this year. ' J..v... Congregation Links During the eighty 01- more years of its existance, the congregation has 'been linked first with Thornhill and later with Maple and King. It be- came a separate parish in 1921. The following clergy have served the par- ish, Rev. R. Shanklin who was in charge when the church was built, and who refused to accept any stip- end while the church was in debt; Rev. W. W. Bates, Rev. J. Gibson, Rev. T. R. Haughton,'Rev. T. W. Buckley. Rev. H. F. Battersby (later Canon),wRev. L. Secrett, and Rev, .._.,._.A Alt\\'vvl . The beautiful memorial and other gifts to be seen in the church, are a link with the past history of the church, and a reminder of the loy- alty of leading members. These in- clude windows, altar and reredos, lectern, vases, communion vessels, choir pews, font, bell and other gifts.

These improvements includel new windows, new roof, new heating system, vestry and parish hall en- larged with the addition of a new kitchen, and two additional lots givâ€" en by friends of the church, one to be reserved for a rectory and the other for a parish hall. Anniversary Services ‘ On Sunday next, December 2, the congregation Will return thanks to Almighty God for over 80 years of worship and witness, 73 of which have been in connection with the present St. Mary’s Church. All for- mer friends and members as well as the public are invited to join with the congregation in these celebra‘ tions. There will be two services, 11 am. and 7.30 pm. and the guest preachers will be the Right Rev. A. L. Fleming, D.D., Bishop of The Arctic, sometimes known as “The Flying Bishop”, and the Most Rev. ‘D. T. Owen, D.D., D.O.L.. Arch- bishop of Toronto and Primate of Canada. The church officers are appealing for a special Thank Offering to- wards the complete renovation of the steeple of the church the cost of which will be about $300. It is ne- cessary that this work be started as soon as possible. St. Mary’s has had a great past, made possible by the loyalty of those who earried on, devoted men and women, sometimes few in number. but with vision enough to see a fu- ture for the parish. Their vision is about to be realized, for Richmond 'Hill is about to experience a boom in building and development, which must mean a boom for St. Mary’s Anglican Church. We owe a debt to the early members of this and other churches. The chief value of the past should be to spur us on to a meater witness for GOd in thi§ bishop ‘Wf‘féfiwéuiday is the day, 11 am and 7130 pm.

FEEDS FOR FARM AND POULTRYMAN. RICHMOND HILL, ONT. THE MILL In Stock: DDT BARN SPRAY we LIEERALLMEEEMML- fimwéfilfi Phones: hiéhé’st’ and 139 Reeve and Deputy.- Election in Vaughan (Continued from Page 1) ing for support in this election said‘ he was no “sore head” and “if I lose 1 will not leave the township.” The county grant of $150,U00 for hospitalization may continue for some time, said Deputyâ€"Reeve John Hostrawser and 0t 26 municipalities represented at County Council all were in favour of the grant. “Weeds are very bad in the town- ship and should be taken care of, but we couldn’t get. the labor,” said Mr. Hostrawser. He declared'that no matter who is in council next year taxes must be raised. Early Election Jas. Robson, candidate for reeve, said he was pleased with the idea of an early election this year, which means that everyone will have a chance to get out to vote as no road should be clocked with snow. “Sidewalks on Yonge Street havei been before council for the past, 151 years and it is too bad that one tax-payer should be able to hold this work up," he declared, “but the work should be accomplished next year. Strong pressure was brought, before the council to have the 3rd conces- sion graded this year but nothing was done as this is a bad stretch of road both in winter and summer and more consideration will have to be given to the work. The governâ€" ment, he said, has bought considerâ€" able land in this section and will want the road in first class shape. The residents of Pine Grove have petitioned Councxl for water supply, which will be supplied from Wood- bridge. He explained adding that no small hamlet should be without water. “The public purse is just what the taxpayers put in it, and if the coun- cil is going to spend more they must give more,” said J. Albert Dick. candidate for the deputy-reeveship. “Our grader is in for repairs which will cost in the neighborhood of $2,- 000 and. if these strikes continue dear knOWS when we will get it. Last year’s council accomplished less than ever and I for one was not satis- fied with the past year’s work. Children Killed Stewart A. Rumble, a member of last year’s council, but who will be leaving the township and was not nominated, spoke briefly of the year’s work. Herbert A. Phelps, who received an acclamation, said: “Too many children are being killed on Yonge St. and there is only one remedy, that is, to have sidewalks not only for short stretches but the full length of the township. The walk below Richmond Hih will most like- 1y be done this year as Markham is in favor of it. Also the Provincial government, but one taxpayer is the holdâ€"up. An offer was made this man but he refused it, and when we came back with a further offer to buy ten feet of his property and give him a new hedge his price had Jumped and he was asking an out- rageous figure. The matter is n0w gomg before an arbitration board. Taxes will have to be raised. We piomised the boys jobs when they Came back and they are not getting them. Something must be done“ w ....... -.,..-V.._._° 7"", 7. Carl Shaw, another new member, said he had no criticism of last year’s council as the members were all serious minded men, but he felt that more money could be spent on the Kleinburg hill as there is room for onlyione qer at a time. _- -. ..
