NEWMARKET : Dairy farmers in the area sufiered 35% and over loss of income during the recent milk strike. Major H. C. H. Miller suggested that if the airport were allowed to establish, it might afiect the gener- al usage of land in the immediate area of Maple and added that West was the logical direction for expan- sion for the village. “We\object to the establishment of an airport near the village of Maple on the grounds of a public nuisance, a general hazard and a devaluation of property in the area", was the wording of a petition presented to Vaughan township council last Thursday by a delegation of seven ratepayers. The peti- tion was signed by nearly the entire village and spokesman for the group, A. M. Grierson, said that out of 140 people con- tacted, only eight declined to sign. The delegation members commented that the majority of people contacted felt that it was an outrageous proposal.

Several members of Cou- ncil expressed the thought that some difficulty might be encoun- tered now that work has commen- ced and Government approval has been obtained. The two considerations facing Council now are these: Council, as the people's representative, has a duty to the ratepayers; their wish- es as property owners and resi- dents cannot be ignored: Aero Ac- tivities obtained the necessary perâ€" mission from the Department of Transport and on investigation found that the township has no by- laws regulating airfields. Interviewed by the Liberal he outlined system changes with the Railway over his period of service. In 1910 the Canadian Northern Ontario Ry was confined to a line from Toronto northward to Gow- ganda Junction in the Sudbury area. The following year an ex- tension Toronto to Ottawa was completed to link up with the Canadian Northern Quebec por- tion. Soon after a western extenâ€" sion was completed to Port Ar- thu’r to join with the parent sys- tem which had served the prair- ie Provinces for several years pre- viously. An extension from Ed- monton to the Pacific Coast was also put into operation about that time, thus completing a transcon- tiental line. In 1923 this line, to- gether with the Grand Trunk Rail- way and the National 'h‘ansconti- ental Ry. was amalgamated to form the present Canadian National Sys- tem. With reference to local his- tory he states that on the opening of the line in 1916 the event was Mr. Y. B. Tracy, until last year station agent for the Canadian National Railways here for thirty three consecutive years has finish- ed duty at the local office subject to the Company's superannuation plan. Mr. Tracy entered service with the Railway in June 1910, and after being employed in station service at several points was ap- pointed agent here in March 1914. Enlisting for military service in 1915 he. served Overseas with the Canadian Garrison Artillery, and on discharge in 1919 resumed duties here. Has Seen Many Changes Mr. Y. B. Tracy Retires From. Railway Service Began Career In 1910 The cheerful group pictured above marks the opening of a campaign for funds to provide the residents of Maple and sur- rounding community with a Community Centre.

NUMBER |3 Maple Community Centre Fund Campaign Opens with Council to discuss a possible contract for dumping 5-8 loads of obsolete paints and varnishes daily in the township dump. Their offer is this: they will dispose of all the waste. which when burned leaves only a fine ash, and will also maintain the dump and look after the township waste brought to the dump. Periodically the dump will be covered with sand for appear- ance and cleanliness. All salvage- able metals will be retained by the contractors and they would give Council $500 annually. A bull- dozer and magnetic crane would be used in the operations. In reply to Councillor Robson‘s question about the burning. Mr. LaVack said that the fire lasts only 3-4 hours because the paints cause alllthe matter to burn rapidly whereas pure garbage burns for days. The contractors informed Council that they would be willing to sign an agreement restricting amounts dumped and leaving the way open to pay larger revenue if they obtained more contracts. “This sounds like the best ofi'er we’ve had yet," said Councillor Robson. Council decided to inves- tigate their present contract with a view to discussing the offer furâ€" ther. . hailed with much satisfaction by the Community, as previously the nearest steam railway station was Maple. Soon after, a track connec- tion was established with the elec- tric line, the Toronto and York Radial operating from Toronto to Sutton. The interchange of car- load traffic to and from this line was considerable and steadily car- ried on until the discontinuance of the T. & Y.R. north of Richmond Hill in the late Twenties. With the location of three greenhouse plants 1911 to 1913 and an addit- ional in 1920 business in the way of express, freight and telegraph was increased. During the past five years with the entrance of additional industries in this vicinâ€" ity increased demands for service presented itself with the result that enlarged office facilities and ad- ditional space for express traffic has been made necessary. ' Presentation Before a gathering of close friends Councillor W. Middleton made the presentation speech while 0. P. R. agent Mr. v. D. Gambrill made the actual present- ation. In echoing the sentiments of those present Coucillior Middle- ton who has known Mr. Tracy since 1919 wished him many years of continuing good health and a hap- py retirement. In a few well chosen words Mr. Tracy thanked everyone for their kind gesture. In recognition of Mr. Tracy's many years of faithful service to the railway and this community his fellow employees and friends on Monday presented him with a lovely easy chair. 3;, "In Essentials, Unity,- the Fund finance committee follows the ex- change with interest. Within the next few days teams of campaign assistants will be calling on res- idents throughout the Maple district. With such a worthy cause to support it is felt that the contributions noted above are but the beginning of the many which will be received towards the fund objective of $50,000.00. In a session of Aurora council, Monday night, the school board of S. S. No. 13 Whitchurch procured permission for the use of three rooms in the old Aurora public school at a rental of $30.00 per month for each room. With an enrolment of over 290 and stag- gered hours the board realized that something had to be done to re- lieve the situation, and approach- ed Aurora council about the old school. The Lake Wilcox Board will sup- ply the heat and janitor service and pay half the electric light bill. Aurora will see that the furnaces are kept in good repair. The rooms are furnished with desks and blackboards. Teachers' desks will have to be purchased by the ren- ter. Although the school has been procured for October 1, due to certain obstacles the board will not be able to make the move at this date but will do so as quickly as possible. Only the older classes will be going to Aurora. More teachers will be hired to take care of the increase in classraoms. This should relieve the overcrowding of the school at the Lake and do away with the staggered hours. Lake Wilcox Bd. Rents 3 Rooms Aurora School Markham Fails To Sell Twp. Offices At Public Auction The township has now con- tacted Wignall and Sheppard. Markham village real estate agents to attempt sale of the property. Markham township was un- successful in its efforts to sell by public auction last Satur- day its old Municipal offices and metal garage located at Unionville. Although there were several bidders the prices offered failed to reach the figure set by the township as a reserve bid. The only sale made during the proceedings was to a lady from Lindsay who purchased a small building :at the rear of the property. Sale price was $400.00. With wiring and insulation completed the Lions will soon have the project completed. The community spirit ran high in this project and the workers would‘ like to thank the Wind- mill Garage for the cofiee and sandwiches.

Now Located At Thornhill Edgeley W. I. To Sponsor Safety Clinic On Oct.14 It is a sad fact, indeed, that too many accidents occur in homes. Accidents do not just happen â€" they are caused and they can be prevented in part by searching out and removing the common causes. To make us aware of some of the hazards and careless acts in our daily life, wih special considera- tion for the safety of children is the purpose of this short course. W. Timbers stated he had heard nothing of the matter until, “after the police had closed him down.” “I think”, remarked the Reeve, “the real trouble centred around the public address system”. Coun- cillar 'C. Hooper “What did the police say? Rev. Barrett â€" “They just told us to leave”. Deputy-Reeve LeMasurier -â€"- “On what grounds.” Letter Questioned With the revised system each grade would work on three levels and 5 child could pass from one level to the next when the teacher knew he was ready instead of wait- ing until June. Thus the child who learns quickly need not wait for the slow student and the slow student need not be rushed to keep up with the one who is able to learn faster. Under the present system the slower student often acquires a feeling of failure when in reality he is just a slower think- er who will achieve his goal at his own speed. Mr. Grill accompanied at the pi- ano for a sing song and Mrs. Ap- pleton's class won the banner and The conference will be held at Edgeley Community Hall from 10 am. to 4 p.m. and will include de- monstrations as well as d' cussion. Miss Grace Hamilton, R. ., of the Women’s Institute Branch and Home Economics Service of the Department of Agriculture will be the instructress. The point of contention was whether a letter mailed to Clerk C. Hoover following the police ac- tion should have been brought be- fore Council. Clerk Hoover also answered the letter and the Rev. Barrett presented this letter to the members. ‘ Deputy-Reeve LeMas- urier immediaely wanted to know The Oak Ridges Home & School met for the first time this season on Tuesday night. A well filled room greeted the new executive and members of the staff who were introduced by Robert Woolley chairman of the school board.

Although Clerk Hoover didn’t have the orig- inal letter with him he promised to bring it to Cauncil.

At various times it has been known as the North Toronto Market and the North York Market. Dating back to the year 1916 and from then until 1923 the market was located on the west side of Yonge street close to the old North Toronto C.P.R. station. Farmers sold their produce from the back of their horse drawn wagons and later from trucks, and the farmers’ wives sold their butter, eggs, cream and home baking inside the old stationâ€"house. At that time it was under, the supervision of a superintendent from the St. Law- rence Market. Next came the so-called Tin Mar- ket which after an impressive cer- emony officially opened its doors on June 19, 1926.
