He pointed out that_ throughout all history markets had played an important part in the lives of peo- ple in all lands.

Formerly located at the City limits the market moved this year to the Thornhill site, and results have proven the wisdom of the move. Old patrons find the new location convenient and every week sees many new customers who delight in the practice of go- ing to market. Opening day was concluded with the Thornhill Lions taking over the evening program of bingo and dancing. There were many draws during _the morning for many attractive prizes including a $10. voucher, beautiful flower bouquets, heap- ing baskets of produce, dressed chickens, and vegetables‘of all kinds.

A In declaring the Market open the North York member expressed the hope that it would continue to grow and that in the years to come it would more than justify the faith of those whose work and planning made it possible. “I trust," he said, “that in the years ahead it may make a worthwhile contribution to the welfare and prosperity of the ‘iistrict and coun- ty. Congratulations and good wish- es were extended by Frank-Enfield MP. for York-Scarboro, and by Reeve Marshall McMurchy of Vaughan Township. Reeve Tim- bers of Markham Twp. was unable to attenfl due 10 illness. In the growth and development of York County the farmers‘ mar- ket had played its part, said Mr. Smith. Since early pioneer days the farmer's wagon wending its way to market with the products of his soil and his toil had ever been a familiar sight. The difficult trails of the pioneer days, the mud roads, the plank roads, the toll gates had given way to fine hard top roads and super highways and the motor car had replaced the horse drawn wagon, but the trek of farmers to market has contin- ued. There always has been and always will be a place in our way of living for the farmers’ market.

A survey of the whole township taken recently shows that 41 teachers are instructing 1399 pu- pils, an average of 34 pupils per teacher. S. S.

Whitchurch TownshipClassrooms Average 34 Pupils Per Teacher Councillor McCarron, speaking of the school problem at Thurs- day’s council meeting,‘ said “What we accomplished in S. S. 13 shows what canabe done by using a little brain work. Instead of spending thousands of dollars, Oak Ridges should also take three rooms and Armitage should take one, in the old Aurora public school. School boards should knuckle down and take advantage of rooms that are available instead of building new schools. I have made a survey of S. S. 13 and the ratepayers are very happy with the arrangement. A little closer co-operation be- tween school boards and council would be in the interests of the ratepayers. The old Aurora pub- lic school is a good building and could be used for another 15 years. I want this council to write a let- ter to A. E. Patchell and the school board, thanking them for their co- operation in solving their prob- lems so economically.” Inspectors Hallman and Noble should be in- cluded.

Correspondence included a let- ter from A. S. Winchester, J.P., re- questing that the selection of jur- ors be/ sent to him during October. Attention of the selectors was call- ed to the fact that women as well as men are eligible for jury duty. he selectors are the Reeve and ssessor and the Clerk of the township, who acts as clerk for the selectors. A letter was received from the Dept. of Highways approving By- Law 1408 which establishes Cher- ry St. near Vivian as a highway. Clerk Jack Crawford pointed out that the school act says when a school board requests council to issue debentures for a new school, council has no choice but to do so. However a municipal council can approach the Ontario Municipal Board asking the Board not to ap- prove the issue of the debentures and stating their reasons. S. S. No. 7 secretary Harry Smith requested council to advance him enough money to pay the teachers and caretaker for September if the provincial grant was not re- ceived in time. His request was granted. No decision was reached on the request of Aurora Council for a retainer of $250. and a fee of $60.. for the first two hours and $10 for each additional hour for the use of their fire fighting equipment in Whitchurch Township. this raises the fee from a straight $50.00 per fire. The culvert at the Yonge Street end of the Lake Wilcox drainage ditch was discussed again by coun- cil.
