PUBLIC MEETING Film Brings Surprises When it was realized that the schoolyard was too small. the school board wanted to buy land from The Purpleville school still in use in this, its centennial year of 1953. is the original one that was built in 1853, only then it was sit- uated on the sideroad south of the present school about a quarter of a mile west of the 7th concession on land owned by Mr. John Mor- row. Then as now, it was a one room school, 34 ft. long by 22 ft. wide. Later a piece at the back wastaken for a lobby. A post office then operating at the corner about a half mile south of the site chosen for the new school was named Purpleville by John Morrow. He owned the farm on the north-west side'of this cor- ner, and he was an ardent Orangeâ€" men. he chose this name to show the connection of the local people with this order. As a matter of course, when the school was built it was named Purpleville School. After much thought and study, another step was taken in the young educational system of Can- ada. and a new school section was formed in Vaughan Township and numbered 11. School Section No. 11 is located on the 6th. 7th and 8th Concessions of Vaughan and extends from lot 23 to‘29 on the rear of the 6th concession, lots 20 to 35 on the front portion of the 7th, lots 22 to 35 on the rear of the 7th and lots 27 and 28 and 31 to 35 on the front of the 8th. of Dutch descent were Edward Miller, Andrew Jamieson, Robert Kerr, Peter Witherspoon, Archie Morrow.

Mr. Jamieson offered them one quar- ter of an acre of land free if they would move the school to its presâ€" ent site on the 7th concession north of the Purpleville Sideroad. This land formed the north half of the schoolyard and the other half of the yard was purchased from Mr. Livingstone. The original trustees were Samuel Irvin, Thos. Ginn and Alexander Mounsey. Wooden benches were first used by the pupils but double seats were installed in 1856. These were replaced‘with single desks in 1948 at which time the inside of the school was painted and four new doors were put on.

Council has temporarily deferred action on the selection of a Townâ€" ship Engineer from among the three applicants for the job until such time as Reeve W. Timbers and Deputy-Reeve A. LeMasurier have informed the engineering firm of Margison and Babcock of council's intention. Margison and Babcock, a Toronto firm of Consulting En- gineers has handled Markham’s engineering problems during the past 30 years.

The Rector made a strong appeal for funds at the close of both Services and con. cluded his remarks by saying that “If we all do the best we can, then I feel certain we will meet our ob~ jective within the next two weeks.” The entire community wishes them success in this appeal as they have‘ been experiencing difficulty with their present organ for some time now. Mrs. Holdsworth Pres. Patterson Comm.Club The little Anglican Church in Richmond Hill was crowded at both the morning and evening ser- vices last Sunday when special Coronation Services were held. A replica of St. Edward’s Crown was made by Mr. Douglas Boyd, well- known Silversmith, rested on the Holy Table throughout the day. This added a great deal to the em- phasis for these Coronation Ser- vices and was admired by the par- ishioners and many visitors to the Church throughout the day. “Investment in Christ and His Church never impoverishes anyone. God is debtor to no man, and what we ddfor Him will last for eternity’ These were part of the remarks spoken by the Rev.

It was proposed by Douglas Wellesley, and seconded by W. F. Aitchison that the 4th concession road be viewed with this recommendation. as it is one of the heavily travelled north to south roads in our mun- icipality, and is used extensively by the travelling public going to and from the monastery and chapel at the Augustinian Fathers Incor- porated property, as well as being a connecting link between the Schomberg-Aurora and the King Nobleton Roads.

But here in England in Coronation year, time seems to take on a new meaning King Twp. Council _ For nine hundred years this his- toric Abbey has been the scene of the coronations of British Kings and Queens, first in the great church built by Edward the Conâ€" fessor, and then in the present Ab- bey Church which Henry VIII built on the same site in the 13th century. It was an awe inspiring setting, and as we witnessed the ceremony it seemed that history was all about us. Yes history was all about us and we were in the midst of history making events. The wealth of history and tradi- tion behind the Throne was par- aded for the world in the Goren?- tion ceremonies. Queen Elizabeh was crowned where all Monarchs but two have been crowned since 1066. The Coronation Chair was made 750 years ago. In a shifting, uneasy world. in a world in which we sometimes are inclined to lose sight of the fundamentals, there is something reassuring in the time- less and traditional forms of the Coronation. The fanfare of trumpets which echoed across the courtyard at St. James Palace on February 6, 1952, following the Proclamation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. sound- ed again today on Coronation Day, June 2, 1953, in Westminster Ab- bey.

' The long wait until the start of the ceremony didn’t seem long. There was a tense feeling of excitement and ant' cipation. It was a very formal show yet there were plenty 0 signs of informality. Ushers and guests were everywhere throughout the sanctuary and over it all the Earl Marshall kept an anxious and watchful eye. Elderly peers seemed fidgety, going in and out of‘ seats, and nearly everyone had a box lunch of some kind. In the midst of all the rich splendor of the Abbey great peers of the realm sat munching sand. wiches as we waited for the big moment. , Before the Queen entered two maids with brooms and carpet sweeper swept the carpets in the Sanctuary. At the conclusion of the ceremony the orderly good organization con‘ tinued. We had been ushered to our seats, and at the con- clusion we were ushered out. While Her Majesty waited for the commencement of the return procession we enjoyed a. buffet lunch in Westminster Hall (By Alverna Smith, Associate Editor, The Liberal) LONDON,June 2, 1953 â€"â€" Today I witnessed the crowning of our Queen. From an excellent seat in the west gallery‘of the North transept I saw and heard the whole memorable and impressive ceremony. Notables occupying seats in our secâ€" tion included Rt. Hon. C. D. Howe, Canada’s Minister of Trade and Commerce, Hon. George Drew, Opposition leader and Douglas Fairbanks. Directly below us sat Rt. Hon. Louis St. Laurent, Cana- da’s Prime Minister who with his R.C.M.P. escort has rec'eiva ed a warm and enthusiastic welcome here. Sitting with Mr. St. Laurent were other Commonwealth Prime Ministers and in the same section sat the Crown Prince of Japan, and rep- resentatives of foreign states. Costumes 0f distinguished visitor ranged from the feathers of North American Indians to the flowing colorful silks of the Sultan of Jahore and the Tonga Queen. London has been the mecca for many thousands of visit- ors and excitement and enthusiasm has been at high pitch. Everything has been well organized and orderly and British organization and efficiency was at its best. To be in the Ab- bey at 6.30 am. I had to leave the Hotel at six.

' Has Thrill Of Lifetime To Witness Pomp Pageantry AsYoung Queen Crowned HOME PAPER OF THE DISTRICT SINCE 1878 “Hans Christian Andersen” Coming To The Richmond June 10 to 13 Township clerk Harold Rose and his assistant, Miss Betty Westbrook, Township assessor Ed Reddick and everyone they could commandeer, have folded copies of Township of King By-Law 986, and an accom- panying letter ,which they placed in envelopes with the 3,800 tax bills that were mailed on Monday evening. The bylaws and letters were delivered to the Township .of- fices at Nobleton on Saturday morning. It took thousands of motions to fold the papers and fasten them in the envelopes. This accounts for the lateness in the delivery of the tax bills for 1953. To compensate for the late deliv- ery, it was decided on Monday at the Council meeting. that the dis count of 2% be extended until June 15, for payment of taxes this year. ly from the junction of Highways No. 9 and 27 to Yonge St.. which is one of the important roads as it is travelled extensively and is used as an important link in a direct route from Sarnia to Ottawa.

All the symbolic rites included in the ceremony have a deeply spiritual signific- ance and the Coronation Service throughout implies that the life of our beloved Queen is to be a life dedicated to the service of God and a service of confirmation of the people’s choice, and of consecra‘ tion and dedication of the Sover- eign to the service of God and to her people throughout the British Isles and all the Commonwealth. Not only is the Coronation a 301‘ emn covenant between the Queen and her people, but it is also on our part, a sign of loyalty in return. u vu-a. As we said the Coronation cere- mony has changed little in nearly twelve centuries, except that Eng¢ lish has replaced Latin. In essent tials it has remained the same. It is a most impressive service. It is and a new value. The time-honor- ed traditions dating back for cen- turies seem to give to our great Commonwealth a new richness, a place apart. an honored place among the nations of the world. As citizens of the Commonwealth we feel pride in the possession of these century-old traditions. We feel rich and blessed beyond mat< erial value in this heritage which we possess _a_nd which is ours (Continued on page 3)
