M. McDONALD, Clerk of Vaughan Township COUNTY OF YORK One late afternoon as the wid- ow sat at her knitting, a miser'. able, dirty old beggar came to the door begging for food. “0 good woman.” he pleaded, “could you spare me a few grains of rice? I haven’t eaten for two days.” The woman stopped her work and looked up. Calmly she re- plied. “I am sorry, my man, we are poor folk and have nothing for you.” They say the most gorgeous come from the city of Chang- Chow in the province of Fuklen. Each year the bulbs are sent from there to many parts of the world. Turning away with despair writ- ten in every wrinkle in the old shrivelled face. he silently made to depart. But pity got the bet- ter of the old woman, and she jumped up and said “Please don't go away! I’ll give you the bowl of rice-porridge I’ve been keep- ing for that good-for-nothlng boy of mine?’. The news that the Thornhill Post Office is presently negotiat- ing for a site for a new post ofl‘i- ce building typifies the increased growth of population in the Thornhill area and the resultant effect on the post office depart- ment. The present post office, situ- ated opposite Centre street on Yonge Street in Thornhill has ben In use since 1947 when it was transferred from its loca- tion in the Vern Griffin building. At that time. Clayton Scott was postmaster and Jack Warrick of Richmond Hill was acting post- master.

Very proud are the people of Chang-Chow of their virgin- white narcissus, and of it they tell this charming tale. Many, many years ago, there lived a widow with her only son, a boy of ten years. The widow was very poor, and earned her living by endless knitting. But the one sorrow in her heart was that this little boy of hers never did anything to help her. The whole day long he played with other boys in the neighbourhood, forgetting even to come home at meal time. In no time the old beggar was enjoying his meal, a warm bowl of porridge and with it a little salted cucumber. Even as he was eating, the woman labored at her knitting. She wept bitterly as her tired fingers continued back and forth. ‘ New Post Office Planned To Meet Growth OfArea Tears filled her eyes as she spoke but she hastily wiped them away on her sleeve.

The area has been cut down with Doncaster and part of Highland Park being dropped out. The present area includes as far south as part of Highland Park, North to Langstaff School, east to Bay- view and west to Bathurst.

The old beggar did not go at once, but lingered on the grassy plot in front of the widow’s home, and there,‘to her dismay. he spat out the rice he 'had just eaten. .‘ At dawn when she'arose to begin her day's work, she looked out her tiny window, and there to her astonished eyes were, 10 and behold, fragrant narcissus covering the very plot where the old__man had spat out the rice. As she turned away, there was a loud splash in the nearâ€" by pond. What was that? Why the old beggar must have jump- ed into. the water! In vain the villagers tried to find the body of the old man. but it seemed to have disappeared completely. That night the kind widow wept for the 01d beggar whom she had tried to befriend. “Alas, alas for the' pitiful man!” she wailed to herself.
