A promotion that has come to a. former Richmond Hill man, Ralph Tyndall. son of Mr. and Mrs. Will- iam Tyndall of Rescview Avenue, sounds almost like an Hox‘at’c Alger talc. John Madsen, owner of the new, Sports equipment factory on No. 7 highway east of Unionville, appeal- ed his assessment stating that he does not think it fair that he should be taxed so high on his buildings. His reasons were that the township offered no fire protection, water faâ€" cilities or police protection, which he could secure elsewhere for the same taxation. This concern now employs 14 steadily. Council will view this appeal before making any decision. Assessor L. Nichols asked council if they intended to collect the dog tax in full this year. “At the present time stated Mr. Nichols I have collected over $2,000 in dog Friends Of Father Duffy Will Bid Him Farewell Rev.

It then' went before the village coun- cil. was accepted and on April 17 the village solicitor was instructed to apply to the municipal board for permission to proceed with the work. That permission was not received until May 30th. Now the contractor points out that one of the conditions of undertaking the work was that it should be on- ered immediately, and that in as much as there has been so long a delay he cannot. because of the. price of materials and labor conditions, go ahead (with it at less than a figure exceeding $100,000. _ j DELAY MAY HOLD UP START ON NEW ANNEX TO SCHOOL PUZZLING SITUATION ARISES Richmond Hill’s chances of having: a four room annex to the public School ready for pupils at the Open- ing of the Autumn term are dimin- ishjpg.

He has been with the company 27 years, starting at his trade of router and blocker when he was 16 years of age at the rather unprincely salary of $6 per week. The Trustees of the Crosby Me- morial Park and Arena appeared be- fore council asking for a grant for the upkeep of the grounds. It is their ambition to make this one of the most beautiful spots in the town. ship and a real playground for the children. Mr. A. Fleming, the assessor for the eastern section stated that ho had collected from 340 dog: owners with about 50 to hear from. Reeve Hooper instructed the as- sessors that the bylaw stated‘that all dogs must have a license and he said “If people won’t pay for the license take the constable along with a summons and there is no other al- ternative but to destroy the dog.” “Father Duffy is a man of singu- larly likeable personality,” said a member of his church this week. “He finds his greatest joy in helping oth- ers, and he is ever ready to turn an attentive ear to those who need counâ€" sel or assistance of any kind.

The six local Junior Far- mer clubs were represented by a total entry of 45 boys and 45 girls. There were a number of new boy; in the Junior Competition and the credit for their attendance is hrg'zlv due to the splendid leadership and training given by the local Junior Farmer coaches. The farms visited for the livestock classes this year were: Pickering College Farm, Newmarket, Yorkshire gilts and market hogs; Inniscam Farm. Newmarket, Suffolk horses and Jerseys; Stanley Barradell. Ket- tlehy, Shorthorn cows; Charles Wal- ton. Kettleby, Oxford and Leicester Ewes; Eaton Hall Farm, King.

Then said I, here am I; send marâ€"Isaiah 6:8.” Rev. Mr. Wood’s Sermon “The experience of seeing the Lord’s glory as clearly as Isaiah saw it on the occasion referred to in our text, which comes from the Lesson appointed for Trinity Sunday, is not granted to all men,” said Mr. Wood. “Yet it is the hope and the goal of all tlmsc who are spiritually minded. As we take part in the life and wor- ship of the church, as we pray and praise, and with devotion study God’s Word, all these exercises are part of our effort to see God. Nor is there one of us who does not realise the tremendous change that would take place within us_if we could see God On Trinity Sunday, June 16, the congregation of Trinity Anglican Church, Thornhill, observed the 116 h anniversary of their little frame church. Built on land given by Squire Benjamin Thorne, and dedi- cated by Bishop Strarhan, first Bishop of Toronto, in 1830. it is now the oldest original church building; in use in the diocese of Toronto. A moving feature of the morning: service was the dedication of two brass altar vases, the gift of Col. G. H. McLaren and Mrs. McLaren, in memorv of their son Frederick as Isaiah saw him. Sometimes I am sure that much of our religion is ineffective because, perhaps subcon- soiously, we are not, willing to have Anglicans Of Thornhill Mark 116th Anniversary brass alia‘: vases, the gift of C01.

RCAMC, both of whom gave their lives during the recent war. The beautiful flowers in the chancel had alrllso been placed there in memory of t em. Rev. S. A. R. Wood (the eleventh rector of Trinity Church), preached and also conducted the dedication service. Special music by the choir included Bach's chm-ale “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring” and a double trlu “O, Holy Blessed Trinity”, (compos- er unknown). The Canadian Federation of Agriculture has accepted the proposal of the Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association to join with them in a nation-wide “Salute to Agriculture” during the week of June 17. Many farm organizations: across Canada are planning to hold their annual picnics during": that week. and it is to be hoped that eventually this week in the year may be- come established by the method of practice and custom, to be national farmers‘ week, with possibly one day in the week select- ed as National Farmers’ Day, just as there is a jnational Labour Day. The Canadian Weekly Newspapers Association has always shown a keen interest in farmer organizations, and in farm~ ing in general, and for a very good reason. The average com- munity weekly newspaper editor is very close to; the people who make their living from the soil, and generally speaking he has an understanding and appreciation of their problems and their way of life. A .. .. . up. u . .1 A - n n The inauguration of the national “Salute'to Agriculture” this year is taking the form of an appreciation of the wartime job done by the farmers of Canada. In 1940, with many thous- ands of young men and women leaving farms to join the armed forces (a total of 450,000 left the farms during the war to enter the services or to go to war industry), the farmers were faced with the stupendous task of producing a large volume of the food required by the allied nations for their armies and navies and air forces. That the farmers of this Dominion accepted the chall- enge and met it nony is amply evidenced by the records. (Continued on Page 10) Mm? mm SALUTE T0 AGRICULTURE :‘In Essentials.

Fol- lowing their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. DeFerrari took up their residence in St. Monica’s parish, North Toronto, and 30 years ago they moved to the present family home at Maple. “Charlie” DeFerrari quickly made for himself a reputation for genuâ€" ine neighborliness and a willingness to help in community projects.
