Norman Porter, President of the Association, pre- sided and the guest speaker was Hon. T. L. Kennedy, Ontario Minister of Agriculture who expressed surprise and delight at the phenomenal growth of this Artificial Breeding‘Ufi'it Which started to serve one township and alreai’y serves seven counties and parts of Wm others. Recently Prof. G. E. Remnan, of the Ontario Agricultural College, ac- companied by Mr. Thomas Reesor, of Scarboro TomiShip, called upon the writer, for the purpose of discussing the history of the settlement of “the Pennsylvania Duto ” in Markham and adjacent townships. It was open house all day with the modern buildings, as well as the bulls on displayand the fine quality Dr. Reaman is a native of Vaughan Township; is himself of Pennsylvania Dutch lineage, and is making a spec- ial study of settlements made by his people in various parts of what is now the Province of Ontario. The University of Pennsylvania has established a department charged with studying the history of the Pen- nsylvania Dutch, their migrations from various countries in Europe; their histoly prior to their migration; their settlement in Pennsylvania; their various migrations to other parts of the United States and Onâ€" tario; the contribution which they and their descendants hava made to the development of the North American continent, etc., etc. A member of the staff of the University of Penn- sylvania is coming into Ontario this fall, and Dr. Reaman would like to have him lecture in this district in which so many descendants of the Dutch pioneers reside. Fine New Quarters Fer Maple Cattle Breeders Assoc. Opened Thursday ‘Reeve Hill intimated that this ex- penditure of $7,500 would put the line in shape for operation for a period of from three to six years. The op- inion was expressed that the present plans are to continue operation of the radial line until the completion of Toronto’s rapid transit plan. Radials Likely To Run Until Rapid Transit Plan Complete VOL LXX Reeve P. C. Hill reported to the municipal council this week that the T. T. C. had approved the request of the North Yonge municipalities to continue operation of the line anoth- cr year. He reported further that to waintain the line in operation an ex- penditure of $7,500 'would be requir- ed. This amount is made up of $1400 for replacing 700 ties, $1000 for maintenance of trolley wires and fittings, $1000 for restubbing po"es north of Steele's Ave. and $4100 for maintenance work on cars. COMMISSION AUTHORIZES $7500 EXPENDITURE FOR REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE â€" LINE SHOWS INCREASED PROFIT FOR JULY Outstanding Quality - Delicious Flavour THE HOME PAPER OF THE DISTRICT SINCE 1878 ing the desired information is by a direct appeal to the public through our local newspapers. While I am mur'h interested â€" and hope that action will be taken â€" I am only an outsider: it is obvious that unless the “Dutch” portion of our population [give wholehearted support to the proposal, it will ue useless to bring the lecturer into the district. 0f the livestock, and splendid ap- pointments of the new buildings were much admired by the many visitors. The new barn which replaces the remodelled pig pen is 126 ft. long and 38 ft. wide with sixteen box stalls, a hospital or isolation stall, feed room and brfeeding room. Located in front of this is the administration building, 30’ x 40’ where the management handles the affairs of the unit and processing, checking- and'shippiiiz of semen is done. The membership has increased from 87 in June of 1945 to Waximately-a'JZfiO at the present time including oWners of Holstein. Jersey and Ayrshire herds, about half of which are grades. Norman H. Porter is president of the Association, and G. W. Kefl'er, the first president, is now the secret- ary-manager. I am appealing to any who may be interested to take the trouble to write to me, by post card 01' letter, giving name, address, telephone, also stating whether of Dutch descent' or a mere outsider like myself; alxso please state church affiliations. The result of this appeal will be forwarded to Prof. Reaman. In my long acquaintance with my Dutch friends, I haVe noticed that one of their strongest characteristics is their observance of the Fifth Com- mandment: “Honor thy father and thy mother”: surely the preservation of the history of the achievements of our fathers is one way of ohserving the commandment; let us have such a response to this appeal that there will be no doubt that the children of today honor their forefathers. Every reply that is received to this appeal will he accepted as a voice in approval of Prof. Reaman’s sugges- tio:.. Please act promptly as time short. The T. T. C. report on the opera- tion of the Radials for the month of July showed a profit of $2,016.03. compared with an operating profit of $1,253.29 for July 1947. Passenger revenue for July 1948 was $219,595.51. This‘compares with $17,976.39 for July 1947. an increase of $1,619.12 01' more than 9 per cent. Passenger re- venue for the first seven months of 1948 shows an increase of $5942.85 or 4.85 per cent when compared with the same period last year. Operatâ€" ing expenses were about $800 more than of J..ly last year due to in- creased mileage operated and to in~ creased costs. Reeve Hill reported that the Comâ€" mission had- decided against rainw- ment of switch at Stop 8, due to the cost which was estimated at $5000. Alex D. Bruce. R. R. Unionville. Ont Ontario Farmers Hit Jackpot With Record Crop Fall Wheat For once, Ontario farmers hit the. fall wheat jackpot with a large acre-' age, a record yield and a good price, says A. H. Martin, Director of the Crops, Seeds and Weeds Branch, On- tario Department of Agriculture. ' Usually one or two of these re- quirements t0 profitable farming turn up in the agricultural slot maâ€" chine, heâ€" adds, but very seldom do all three show in a row in the same season. Eight hundred and fifty thousand acres produced an estimated 27,500,000 bushels valued at $56,000- 000. That is not chicken feed liter- ally 01' figuratively, because there is demand for this type of wheat, both for pastry flour for domestic comum-- ption and for export. Never before has the Ontario winter wheat crop at- tracted so much attention as this year, and there is little doubt that, weather permitting, a large acreage of wheat will be seeded this fall. ‘ Brigadier Colin Campbell 0.

TO INSPECT ARENA ROOF Representatives of an Oil Firm in- inrviewed Richmond Hill council Monday evenirg and estimated it would cost about $2000. to treat the arena roof with a highly recommend- ed product. “I'm not sure it needs doing, we’ll have a look at it first," said counci'Lor Middleton. Members agreed to meet at the park soon for an inspection. Amber ‘Canaddan fashion E. last week, Mrs. the Unionville Woâ€" bushels Full Time Police For The Village Debated By Council Councillor Tom Taylor introduced the police question at Monday night’s meeting:r and moved a resolution that the village enter into an agreement fvl‘ the appointment of an officer by the provincial police. This was secâ€" onded by councillor Ken Tomlin. An amendment was moved by councillor Middleton that council insert an ad- vertisement for a constalble, and this was seconded by councillor Cecil Mabley. Councillor Taylor said he favored getting the provincial police because we would get a trained officer who knew the law and 'police procedure. “Traffic conditions here are a dis- grace,” he said, “and when we start counting the expense of a full time police officer we should ask our- selves whether or not we can place a value on human life. The way traffic travels through Richmond Hill is certainly endangering the lives of our people". “'And the worst offen- ders are the Star and Telegram trucks, and Ibusses,” said councillor Middleton. Councillor Tomlin strongly sup- ported the motion for a‘provincial Although competition was not as keen as in other years, it was very refreshing to note the enthusiasm of several new exhibitors as they dis- played their garden produce worthy of the numerous prizes available. Despite the long season of dryness that all gardens have endured, some very fine blooms and vegetables were Many flower lovers were attracted to the beautiful double begonia from Mrs. B. L. Anderson’s garden, and the giant Zinnia so artistically arâ€" ranged by the deft fingers of Mrs. C. H. Sanderson, as well as the love- ly color scheme that Mrs. J. P. Wilâ€" son chose for the plant arrangement and the exquisite daintiness of de- sign in the miniature arrangement by Mrs. J. Dedllow, and as usual, the gorgeous gladioli exhibited by Miss Gwen Smith were very much admir- ed. on display at the Richmond Hill Hor- ticultural Society Fall Show in the Arena on Saturday last. In the garden produce section, Mrs. W. T. Cook’s exhibit was worthy of winning the Robert Simpson prize and the wonderful variety of toma- toes that Bobby Risebrough exhib- ited had everyone keenly interested.

Councillor Tomlin said the money come from only one source, the pock- ets of the people, but he thought the ratepayers of Richmond Hill were willing to pay for adequate police protection. Councill Mabley thought that if the village had a man engaged inde- pendent of the provincials the mun- icipality would have more control over him. Reeve Hill said that the non-ob- servance of parking regulations con- stituted a menace to safety on Yonge Street. After a lengthy discussion of the whole police question including the complaints about non-enforcement of local byâ€"laws it was decided to leave final decision in the matter over for another month. Addressing council- lor Taylor, Mr. Middleon said, “You withdraw your motion for a month and I’ll withdraw my amendment. [’d like some time to consider the whole matter and there’s no hurry for another month.” Councillor Tay- lor agreed and the motion and am- endment were withdrawn.
