They pur- chosed Lot 1, Concession 5 Vaugh- an township in the County of York, Upper Canada. The farm was bought from Johann Schmidt, who had taken up the land in the year 1808. A field of wheat was al- ready sown. The following year the field was reaped with sickles, drawn to the barn on sleds, thrashed with flalls and cleaned by tossing up while a Although nearly a century and a quarter has now elapsed, Mr. Dalziel still holds a tangible link between the two harvests in the form of a sample of wheat, grown by his ancestors when they first settled on the land in 1828.

Mr. Dalziel's father, James Dal- ziel, had charge of the wheat until his death in 1887. About the year 1896, the linen bag, being very much decayed and some of the kernels eaten by midge, Mr. Dal- ziel discarded the bag and injured seed and placed the balance in a bottle after first testing a few seeds for germination, without success. The wheat is still in the bottle. and is one of the Dalziel family’s most prized possessions. strong wind was blowing through the barn. The said Ann Bell Dalziel took a small portion of the thrashed grain and placed it in a small linen bag (a sample of the first wheat tho): threshed in Canada.)

The resolu- tion called for a survey regarding the need for another High School in the area and what type of school would be required. In ad- dition, the motion called for a public meeting to be held at which time the ratepayers might have questions answered. In the cases of both Langstaff and Thornhill Public Schools, the construction work has been carried to a considerable point. High School Debentures The Council expressed surprise that the /School Board would com- mence construction on both build- ings when the final word has not yet been received. However, the Reeve, Marshall McMurchy, com- mented that they had the assur- ance of the Department of Educa- tion and the Municipal Board that the approval would be forthcom- ing. Councillor John Perry said, “We can’t advance any money on the is- sue until it is confirmed.” His stand was backed by the entire Council and a decision was made to ad- vance no monies on the $250,000 debenture issue until the final ap- proval is received. A request for an advance on the debenture issue for the School Area No. 1, Markham and Vaughan was received by the Vaughan Township Council at their meeting last Tuesday afternoon. The request for an advance sum of $40,000. was made by the School Board to carry on operations until the permission for the debenture issue is received from the Mun- icipal Board.

Approves Million Dollar Subdivision Subject To Certain Conditions The Research Committee, dur- ing the past year has collected con- siderable community historical data and we shall now and then attempt to briefly outline a few facts that have had a direct hear- ing in making the community what it is today. The History Committee still re- quires more farm histories of Edgeley and would greatly appre- ciate a written story of these farms by the present occupants. Kindly forward to any Women’s Instiute member of Edgeley, who Main roads were surveyed and lots of 200 acres were marked into farms. Family settlement took place and the names Cober, Jacob Fisher Sr., Seward Stong, Crosson, Shunk, Snyder, Kaiser, Burkhold- er, Smith and Brown dated from 1799 to 1803. The Townline Church, the school, the Edgeley Post Office were established to mark the growth of the vicinity. Not only have these early setllers made an outstanding contribution to agri- culture, but they have also con- tributed greatly to the cultural life in our immediate vicinity.

Mr. Craig, a representative of the York County Health Unit was present at the meeting to discuss the complaint last month by a eit- izen regarding_ the efficiency of the Unit. Mr. Craig stated that the Unit did not like any publicity, whatsoever, when complaints con- cerned businesses or individuals and assured the Council that rec- ords and information of all phases of the Unit's activities were avail- able to recognized authorities. He added that the Unit was ready to confer, in private, with Council on any matter. “At present, be con- 1 Council signed a five-year agree. ‘ment with Messrs.

Reeve McMurchy said that the two men had proven in recent months, when they were on trial at the dump, that they did a good job and Coun- cil expressed general satisfaction of the conditions now existing at the dump. The problem of people dumping garbage on the road or refusing to comply with the re- quests of the operators at the dump and that of outsiders was discuss- ed and Council decided that if the license numbers of violators were} presented to the township police,i the offenders would be investi- gated.

Kefler of Maple said, “Starting with a closeâ€" ly line-bred stud of Holstein bulls, time has proven them highly po- tent in siring a group of highly producing uniform daughters.” He added that the same pattern is now being followed with the re- cently added breeds. The present stud stands at 35. Add Other Breeds In 1948, the unit was able to move to new premises just north of Maple where a modern barn was built to accommodate 18 stud. In addition, there were offices and a laboratory. From here on, the association made steady advances. A year later, progress indicated the need for another barn and so the accommodation was increased to Started in the interests of the commercial cattle raisers, the first centre was located in Maple prop- er on an acre of ground with three Holstein stud bulls, and before the year was out, two more had been added. In this initial year, 1300 cows were serviced. At that time, the Maple unit was one of the pl- oneer centres of its type and re- mained so for over a year . Expansion Begins Pioneer Centre In eight years, the Maple Cattle Breeders’ Association has made such rapid expansion that the village of Maple has become known as one of Ontario’s most important cattle breeding centres. On June 5, 1945, a group of local farmers interested in cattle raising began a co-operative movement for the improvement of cattle breeds in the area with little ideathat within a few years the project would mushroom to cover a large portion of southern Ontario.

These points referred to such items as schools. roads, and the amount of commercial devel- opment.

The houses will have a minimum floor space of 1,200 square feet and cost an average of $20,000 each. No lots will be smaller than 100 feet by 150 feet. Mr. Arnold's proposed plans _which were drawn up by the well- known planning authority Dr. Fal- udi have already been presented to the township Planning Board and Council several times. The members gave final sanction to the plans Monday subject to certain conditions. “inning Board approves Among the new stores to be built is Mr. Arnold's own new ul- tra modem $100,000 Supermarket.
