The detachment had been in Thornhili for' some five years prior to their present move and before that they were in New- tonbrook. The area covered ‘by the Bond Lake detachment takes in a considerable radius and in- cludes number 7 highway from highway 50 to Greenriver; highway 27 from highway 400 to Schomttrg: highway 400 from highway 401 to the Simcoe Coun- ty line; highway 401 from Wes- ton to Bayview and highway 11 from Toronto to the Simcoe County Line.
