Headford United Church and Sun- day School are holding their anâ€" nual Christmas Tree and Concert? Saturday evening, December 15. All are welcome. The evening started with a movie showing how the excess. energy of a boy could be turned into sport channels and showed hockey, 1a- crosse, baseball and other sports played across Canada the outcome being not whether you won the game but how you played it. i The teacher Miss Hardy led in a sing-song and after Mrs. Vizeiy declared the booths open. Refreshments were. served by Mrs. George Barker and helpers and a very happy time was had. On behalf of Headford Home & School many, many thanks to all who .11 any way helped make‘fithe annual Family Fair such a success.

The graders and gravel trucks draw« ing sand and gravel are vey busy. When the job is finished it will be very much appreciated by all the motorists and pedestrians. Mean- while an extra precaution should be taken by all motorists, as the unexpected pile of gravel may be just where it is not expected especially travelling at dark. Two piles were left in the road lastweek and motorists were talking about the hazards of these piles, caused by the carelessness of someone. Mrs. Thomas King Sr. has had a letter from her daughter, Alice, Mrs. Linklater who is in Vancouver.

Wednesday evening twenty mem- bers of Thornlea Ratepayers As- sociation met at the school with Dr. D. Tanner as chairman. The meeting Was busy with discussions on the protest regarding lot 6 as an industrial area. It was pointed out that Thornlea south of the schOol to Steeles Ave. Was a. high- ly residential district With estates while north of that area east and west were the working man’s home sites. Realizing the railway that passes through the district through concession one and two Could be utilized as desirable industrial property, it is the objective of the Ratepayers Association to see that restrictive by-laws will have a rigid control on the types of industry which may comeinto this area.

The pancakes were delicious and the chefs looked smart. in their chef’s hats and white aprons. The church rooms ana the booths were decorated with Christmas boughs, and a prize was given for the most attractiVe booth. The home bak- ing table, trimmed with silver foil won the prize.

The Memorial Library of King City has received a donation of used books for children from Mr. and Mrs. Aubrey Gordon. The books are in very fine condition, 'and are gladly welcomed. A cash donation was received recently from Mr, Frank Fogg. The libra- ry management is grateful to, Douglas Wellesley for moving' the little building and to the King City Motor: for the help they gave in Pancakes and maple syrup were made and served by the men of Teston church, when the Fellowship Group, under Miss Joan Pellettier’s convenorship, held a Christmas Fair on the evening of December New Books ‘ The late Mr. Armstrng was a well known and popular member of this community. He came as a young- man to King City. .with his parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. George Armstrong, when they bought the King City;,Hotel,542‘ years ago. He “(as their young. est child, born at Humber Bay 62 years ago. He enlisted with the 123rd Battalion and went overseas with the 19th Battalion from Tor- onto, during the Great War. He Was wounded at Passchendaele, re- sulting in the loss of an arm: When he returned from overseas he made his home on the 8th line, King, where he lived until his death. He is survived by his widow, the far- mer Jenny Hilliard, and two sons, Edward of Pottageville and George of Toronto. Frank: Armstrong Of King is a. brother. Interment was made at St. Patrick’s Cemetery, Schomberg. Mr. and Mrs. A. Peter and their two sons, Brian, aged 8 years, and Grant aged 20 months, have come to live in King. They have pun chased the Billings' house on the King sideroad west Mr. Peter is a printing pressmanh and is em- ployed in Toronto with Howarth and Smith, Monotypers. The Peter family have' come to King from Toronto. Fellowship Group Requiem Mass was sung on Mon- day morning at St. Patrick’s Church, Schomberg, by Rev. F. Mc- Gooey, for the late Samuel John. Armstrong, who died suddenly at his home, the 8th line, King on] Friday, December 7.. The deceas- ed had recovered from a‘heart at- tack suffered a month previcuxsly, but had not returned to his work with the Department of Public Works, Toronto, where he had been employed since the end of World “731- I. One young ma-n in discussing a commuter’s train, told of the expense involved every day in taking his car from King to Toronto. The gasoline is at least $1.00 each day, then the cheapest parking lot charges at least 50 cents daily, Which‘makes a cost of $45.00 each month, without the cost of .wear and tear on the car, which is not asmall item with so many miles to be covered each month. Toronto has Become a large city,,and the suburban pop- ulation who pour into it every day is great. Oakville and Islin’g-tOn are only two towns serviced by commuters‘ trains. Truly, they are on a main line, but there is a train running through North York that could be used with benefit to many more people THE TRANSPORTATION PROBLEM The greatly increased number of commuters in North York in the past few years, would surely warrant, enquiries being made to the Canadian National Railways as to the feasâ€" ‘ibility of running a special morning and evening train, at more convenient hours than the present schedule calls for, iS the opinion of many business men who beingemployed in Toronto, find increasing difficulty in reaching their offices and places of employment every day. At present there is a morning and evening train, but they run at inconvenient times, especially the morning train which, in the fall and winter, reaches the city about 11 a.m. with only a handful of passengers aboard. Meanwhile there are at least 1,000 per- sons who are potential customers from N ewmarket, Aurora, King, Maple, Concord and Downsview, and the surrounding countryside, who travel to Toronto by car every morning. These people do not use the bus lines on Yonge Street, nor the Danforth Bus line from King City, and the promised bus routes on the new Barrie Highway do not solve their problem in every way. The drive to and from the city is not the most tiring part of the trip. It is the traffic problem when they reach the city, or when they try to get away from it at night that is getting worse each week, and which is be- coming the straw that breaks the camel's, or commuter’s, back. Then, after getting out of the city, to driVe north in a snow storm, or a sleet blizzard, or fog, is something a motorist trembles to think upon. Many suburban people are planning to move to Toronto for \the winter, but only those without young families of school age can'cons-ider this, or else place their children in boarding schools.
