Lynda Leaf, Marjorie Barber and escorts attended the High Holiday Hop at the Royal York Hotel during the holidays. October brought Hurricane Hazel, and devastation to many areas but here most of us es- caped with a ,good scare and some inconvenience. Possibly the greatest amount of damage was_ done at the service station. owned by Brigger and Moss and Jack Stephenson, at the corner of No. 7 Highway and Don Mills Road. where water invaded their property. part of Stephenson‘s Mill also was flooded. But “it's an ill wind . . .55. and the roads and bridges Markham Township has had to repair in the wake of Hazel are being bolstered by sand and gravel from local pits. Gravel trucks are crowding each other on the highways. and the gash in the earth's surface made by the Markham Sand and Gravel now extends to within yards of Don Mills Road at the corner of John St. May 1955 hold greater oppor- tunity for happiness, growth and understanding for us all. On Monday night of last week Mrs. John Black entertained 34 CGIT and Explorer members at her home. It was an evening of song and games they will long remember. Previous to the party the girls had visited shut-in members of the community, tak- ing them gifts of fruit and flow- ers. On Christmas day the three Reid brothers, Norman. Wallace and Pat with their wives and embers of their families spent agi‘istmas together for the first t e in 30 years.

Mr. and Mrs. John Black were Christmas guests at Fergus; on New Year‘s Day they entertain- ed Mr .and Mrs. Brice Waugh and family of Toronto. Mr. and Mrs. E. Crisp held a family party Christmas day. Their guests were Mr. and Mrs. Jack Crisp, Janet and David. Mr. and Mrs. Hartley Rowlands were unable to attend â€" their new baby is still quite small. George Felgate returned to Queen’s University.

The new Markham Township offices (the first building to be built espec- ially for this purpose) were oc- cupied early this year. at But- tonville, and in May an official opening was held, at which But- tonville W.I. members catered. School Growth For the first time in Button- ville school history, a second tea- cher was hired, in the person of Miss Jean Howard. A sign of the times has been the general over- crowding in schools and the con- sequent shift system operating both in the public school here, and in Richmond Hill District High School. Late in November the ratepayers in this area voted in favour of a two-room addition to Buttonville school and before much longer the present situa- tion should be corrected. Discover Gas Last summer there was a slight flurry caused by the flare up of natural gas at Arnleigh Heights when crews were drilling for water, and for a time it seemed likely that the housing develop- ment there would have to be halted. This incident blighted the hopes of those who had money invested in the subdivis- ion. Markham Township inter- vened, insisting that each house must have its own water supply.
