Maple, Concord & Edgeley Districts At a meeting of the Vaughan Township Federation of Agricul- ture back in January 1956, guest speaker James Davidson, newly appointed Vaughan Fire Chief. spoke Aon “Fig-es on Eh?“ Farm.” At the conclusion of Chief Da- vidson's address, the question was asked “What can be done to more clearly identify the loca- tion of a fire and help speed the fire truck to the scene? During the following months many meetings were held and ideas advanced and worked out between the Fire Chief; former Planning Director Jim Swalm, and the federation executive un- til the final plan was evolved in which a map of Vaughan Town- ship plays a big part. Township Of Vaughan Farm Numbering System This map, Which is being dis- tributed to every rural resident, is a photographic copy of the main map in the fire hall and poliee headquarters.

United Church _ Two motor accidents occurred during the past week which ser- iously affected the two Maple cars involved. but fortunately did not cause serious injury to the occupants. On Monday. November 4, Mr. Bill Weir was involved in a crash in which another car drove into his station wagon from the right side, causing his car to roll over and smash up completely. The staton wagon is a complete loss. but both Bill Weir and Mrs. P. Macfarlane. who was a pass- enger, escaped through the back with only minor bruises. .

Nominations This year the Nominating mee- ting for Vaughan Township mun- icipal elections will take place at the Maple Community Centre from 7.30 to 8.30 Monday night, November 18. In previous years this meeting was held at Vellore, but the Maple hall will provide more space for the larg- er turnout evidenced in recent years. Mrs. Charles King of Bramp- ton was a week-end visitor at the home of Mrs. T. Watson and Mr. Jackson Cook The opportunity is provided at this level for individual farmers to take part in federation work and present their ideas at [local meetings. At the county level representation from the town- ships add to the directorate along with representatives from the Women‘s Institutes, junior farm- ers d commodity groups. At this evel more service is pro- vided to those farmers or groups that request it. As an example, last spring when the plpe llne'route was surveyed 11 number of meetings were held to help the farmer get a more equitable settlement for the right of way. Also, the Ontario Federation of Agriculture is responsible for obtaining legislation to assist the farmers in marketing and does an overall liaison job with the commodity groups and marketing agencies after which the Cana- dian Federation of Agriculture takes over at Federal level and presents the farmers' problems to the Federal Government. In the near future teams made up of federation members and Vellore Junior Farmers and In- stitute will be delivering these maps and cards to each door and nailing up the numbers at each ‘gate. If you have no post at your Ianeway you are asked to put in a suitable one immediate- |ly. BOLTON : “Exercise Fish" was carried out in the waters of Heart Lake recently when the lake was chemically treated with insecti- cide, to eliminate coarse fish such as sunfish and bullheads. The lake will be stocked with large mouth bass later. WILLOWDALE BA. 5-4925 The first schoolhouse at Vell- ore was built about 1839 of log construction. One of the earlier teachers was Alexander Muir, au- thor of “The Maple Leaf Forev- er". Incidentally, Mr. Muir was a cousin of my grandmother, whose maiden name was “Grace Muir." A goodly number of our forefathers attended this school. The Township Hall was built in 1845. The whole township went there to vote â€"-â€" in those days it was ‘Males‘ only. The hall was open for three days. John A. McDonald was returning offi- cer or poll clerk. Each man came into the Hall, said who he was voting for and the clerk marked it down. This was called Open Voting. The blacksmith’s sho , north of the school, was buil, owned and operated by Mr. Henry Franks whose daughter, Miss Nellie Franks, was one of the earlier teachers at S. S. No. 9 (Vellore)_. Mr. J. J. Cameron purchased the blacksmith shop from Mr. Franks and continued the busi- ness. Some years later in 1889, Mr. Cameron bought an old church (St. Paul’s), moved it to the north side of the blacksmith shop and converted it into a car- riage shop. This shop became the home of the famous Cameron Carts. known all over Ontario. These carts were very much in demand. Fuel for blacksmithing was made in Cameron's field opposite the town hall. There they built or piled up, large pine logs cov- ered with earth, which were then burned, toimake charcoal. The upstairs of the ‘shop was used as a paint shop with a platform built into the from having a sloping incline used to take the cars up and down for painting. This upstairs room was also us- ed as a practise room for the Vellore Band, led by Mr. Abe Carley in the late 80's and 90’s and the band was a great attrac- tion at garden parties etc., until Mr. Carley left Vellore and the band “gave up its last toot". Here are two marriages record- ed in the Presbyterian Church register: Samuel McDonald and Elizabeth McNeil, October 4, 1866. Jno.‘ A. McDonald and Christina Mailoy, May 30, 1867, by Rev. Wm. Aitken, father of Lord Bea- verbrook. Witnesses were Don- ald McDonald and John Dalziel. Up to this time few marriages were witnessed by women. Now it is quite rcommont 'Samuel McDonald (my uncle) bought two acres of land off the farm of Mr. Line, now owned by John A. McNeil. Uncle Sam hired Robert Cunningham to dig out the stumps, as the two acres were filled with them. Robert Cunningham had just arrived from Ireland and this was higflfirst job in Canada. In 1862 Uncle Samuel McDon- ald built a shop and started a woodwork business, which he carried on until 1880, he then sold out to a family named Mur- phy and went fai'ming. The Murphys did not have the shop open for business but Tom Murphy was the town barber and cut hair for ten cents. Later the price was raised to the magnifi- cent sum of 15c. In 1895 the shop again chang- ed hands and was bought by a Mr. Brown who reopened it for a while before selling it to Mr. Jas. O’Connor. Mr. O‘Connor at one time owned the farm now occupied by Jack Windas. He also ran a community threshing out- fit with a small steam engine drawn by horses. Again the shop was sold, this time to Mr. Jack Carley but it stood in idleness for years until Nelson Kerr bought it and ren- ovated it into an up-to-date gar- age run by one of our local boys, Wib Harrison. until it was burn- ed several years ago. Now, regarding the store. Uncle John A. McDonald bought a quarter acre from Uncle Sam and built and started a general store about the year 1863. Mat- ches (the old sulphur variety) were sold in wooden boxes; can- ned soups and canned vegetables were unknown. Coal oil (Canadian and Amer- ican) usually came from the same barrel. Vinegar, Molasses, syrup, white and brown sugar. oatmeal and her.lng were all sold by bulk from barrels. The women and girls of the neighbourhood spun yarn and knitted socks; large over-socks. as well as inner ones; also mitts to be sold to hired men and lumâ€" berjacks. Mrs. Malcolm Malloy “Hugs:er '3 Mini 9 shy-3.: W M!!! ’I/e/Zé 0P9 I 00 was the champion knitter. She had more patterns than any of the other women at _Vellox_‘e. Charlie and Douglas bought the store from John A. followed in succession by Robert Cathcart, Bert Hewgill (who carried on a flourishing business going to town each Friday with a big sor- rel horse); Mr. Gray. Wm. Craib and Milton McDonald. Mail was first brought to Vell- ore by Mr. J. Kupert from Rich- mond Hill, later just from Map- 1e; then Mr. W. Wilson, followed by Mr. Bob Rumble and Mr. J. Shunk. the Post Office being in the store. There were two Mr. Franks at Vellore in the early days, Harry ran the blacksmith shop and Peter P. owned and ran the farm now occupied by Mrs. H. Case- ley. Peter Franks sold the farm to (Big) John McKinnon who was made Justice of the Peace by Jno. A. McDonald and proudly held the title to the end of his days. Frank Lovett was known as Mayor of the town, later Mr. Wm. Bates held that honor. During the regime of Mr. W. Craib, the route was changed and mail was redirected via Wood- bridge; finally rural routes were established and Vellore ceased to be a post office. On the Frank’s farm, in the field opposite the store compris- ing about 10 acres of wheat, Frank Bunt wagered a bet that he could cradle the wheat be- tween sunrise and sunset. He won the bet. He had a man at each end to give him a sharpen- ed cradle, a drink and eats. There was a wooden sidewalk between the store and the wood- workshop, about 75 feet long. This was the only sidewalk the old town ever boasted. Halfway down the sidewalk there was a set of weigh scales, very highly prized and much patronized by the farmers for Weighing hay, cattle, hogs, etc. Here it was that the seven farmer sons of Tom Jarrett were weighed â€" total weight 1,400 lbs. Opposite McNeil‘s gateway an old house on the Franks’ farm, now demolished, was of particu~ lar interest. Here John Franks, father of Henry and Peter spent the last years of his life with his daughter Lizzie. The Franks were the first settlers in the com- munity and their's was the first farm house to be built at Vell- ore. Here Lizzie was born the day the rebels came up the Sixth in 1837. ‘ Lizzie Frank lived to be very old, going to live with herrsister Mrs. Abel on the death 6f her father. She was buried in Maple Cemetery â€"- the casket was open- ed at the graveside. as a number of old friends had gathered. To the surprise of many she was laid out in a beautiful hand em- broidered shroud, made while she cared for her father at Vell- ore. Her niece and nephew told of the care she took of this treas- ured garment. While living at Vellore, Lizzie Franks attended St. Paul's church and sang in the choir. Her grand- father, Peter Franks, died in this house in 1855, at the age of 91 years. He is buried at Richmond Hill. His wife died in 1837, aged 77 years. Four generatons of the Franks family lived at Vellore.

In fact in the past few years salads have become :1 fav- ourite food combination pro- viding in an attractive way the essential elements that provide good health. CARL E. HILL, M.D., M.O.H. A salad can be used as a “refresher of the palate" ac- companying a hot main dish. Fresh crisp greens have en- hanced the vague of the sal- ad bowl. Fruit salads increase in popularity every year. While garnishes aid in achâ€" ieving “eye-appeal”, salads should be kept simple. Two or three ingredients is usual- ly preferable to a great var- iety. When the salad is the main item on the menu it must have within it all the essen- tial elements of a meal. In order to satisfy the appetite and provide body building material. a main course salad should contain one of the following protein foods: Poultrsfhmeat, egg _or_ cheese. Wholesome salads are doubly good â€" for your fig- ure and your health. Salads are unlimited 1n versatility and are as varied as your imagination! DEPT. OF HEALTH TWP. OF NORTH YORK Have A Salad!
