Trustee Jack Yorke was absent from the meeting due to a busi- ness call to Toronto. Chairman Miller reported re- ceiving complaints on the roads in the new subdivisions. Trus- tee Langille stated the roads were not in good condition but could be worse. After some dis- cussion, the secretary, Jim Mc- Donald reported that the con- tractor would put sand and grav- el on the roads immediately beâ€" fore winter sets in should the trustees give their approval. Af- ter further discussion. the trus- tees approved the project. The trustees received a copy of a report from the Bell Telephone Company to the Board of Trans- port Commissioners in regard to a change of telephone classifica- tion that would effect Richmond Hill, Thornhill and Maple. Chair- man Miller stated he would get in personal touch with the tele- phone company‘officials the next time he was in Toronto for a clarification of the report. Maple Trustees Consider Several Road Complaints Next on the agenda, the Trus- tees discussed the project of dig- ging a ditch on the north side of Railway street. Trustee Lan- gille reported that trustee Jack Yorke had as yet not contacted Acreage Changes Hands Concord, Edgeley District Quite a few acres of land have changed hands in the Conâ€" cord and Edgeley district during the past few weeks. Oster's two farms at Concord were sold recently by real estate broker Ion Hardcastle, Mr. Oster having the option to remain on his property for five years. Farms To Be Subdivided George and Frank Bagg at Edgeley sold their farm recently and are expected to vacate the- premlses by April 1. A sale reported recently was Mrs. Ed Prentice's house on the 5th Con. at Edgeley. Edgeley Farm Forum was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Per- cy Usher last Monday evening for a discussion of the greatest accident hazard on Canadian farms â€"- fire. Forum Discusses Fire Hazard Most Farm Fire Losses Traced To Carelessness, Poor Planning Other proj'ects forfliHé-‘benefit of the girls and boys may be uu- dgrtaken from time to time, but To better assist them to rec- ognize the underlying causes of farm fires and to control them effectively. the Forum members for a week prior to the meeting studied the Guide report on sur- veys as to the chief causes of fires and were prepared to make recommendations as to Ways of preventing them when the For- um met Monday night. at present the full supporr‘tfib‘f‘ It is generally conceded that most farm losses can be traced to carelessness, poor building construction, and poor planning of farm layout. The responsibil- ity for cutting down fires, there- fore, rests with the individual farmer and his family. The most frequent causes of fires in barns‘ are lightning, el- ectrical short circuits from worn equipment. over-fusing and mois- ture affecting wiring and spon- taneous ignition, inflammable liquids and accumulation of oily rags and rubbish. In calling the meeting, it was the group's intention to have a committee appointed which would assist, first. with the mak- ing of a skating rink and then later on perhaps direct some work on the Community Park. Money will be required for the work and it will be the prime duty of the committee to plan social events this winter in aid of community betterment. Due to the poor response from the people of the community to attend a meeting last Thursday night in Concord Public School for the purpose of organizing a Community Association. the meeting has been postponed until later in November. For some time a group, inter- ested in the welfare of local girls and boys has foreseen the need of an organization to provide for the recreational needs of the young people of Concord.

Trustee Langille reported that at pres- ent a ditch digging machine was not available, but he would check again the following Monday to see if it could be procurred. Trustee Langille brought up the ,question of street signs for the new subdivision, stating that many delivery trucks were hav- ing difi‘iculty in finding their way around in the area. Jim McDon- ald reported that the Maple Lions Club had put street signs in the rest of the village. Trustee Mill- er stated that it wouldn‘t be fair to ask the Lions club to erect street signs in the new subdiv- ision. He added that the best signs would be metal, black em- bossed on white. Jim McDonald stated he would ask for a price on such signs and report back to the trustees on the cost. Chairman Miller also stated that he felt any future subdivid- ers building in the village should be required to erect street signs in their subdivision. In closing, the trustees decid- ed to view the pavilion in the town park to ascertain whether it would stand up during the win- ter. If it was found the struc- ture needed protection for the winter, such steps would be tak- The Raymond Stuart farm at R. R. 1 Maple was sold last week by broker Ion Hardcastle. The Stuarts have possession of the farm until September 1956 and have reserved a corner lot on their property. Last week Nels Peelar at Edgeley sold his farm through David McLean Ltd., Thornhill. They are expected to vacate then: farm on April 1. All farms sold are for subdiv- ision purposes and while the sale prices were not disclosed, they are reported to be well into the four figures per acre bracket. cooking equipment, defective and overheated chimneys, flues and pipes, careless smoking hab- its, electricity and inflammable fluids are the most frequent causes of fire. The Forum noted that during the pashyear there has been one serious barn fire and twb field fires during the harvest season within a ten-mile radius. The members recommended compulsory inspection of elec- trical wiring as the first import- ant step in preventing farm fires. One of the most important uses of a farm pond is to provide a source of water in case of fire. The Forum members indicated they thought the usefulness of a farm pond could be extended if it were built with the idea in mind of it serving more than one farm. The meeting was well attend- ed by members and guests who took an active part in discussion. Fire protection in many rural areas is inadequate, the Forum found, but farmers in this dis- trict are most fortunate in hav- ing a well-organized system of fire protection. Mr; and Mrs. Percy Puterbaugh will be hosts to the meeting of the Forum next week. everyone is sought in order that present plans may be carried out. The Cubs and Scouts have vol- unteered to work and do what- ever they can to assist the cause.
