Concert Associations of Canada WILL HOLD A MEETING TO SET UP A Concert Association in Thornhill or Richmond Hill Thornhill High School Thursday, March 6, 1958 at 8 pm. ' however, it means a family well known and respected throughout the area for more than a century. It was in 1842 that twenty year old David Boyle left Liverpool, England. on a sailing ship bound for Canada. Just before embark- ing he wrote a farewell letter to his father in Greenock, Scotland, which is now in the possession of his granchildren, Agnes, Mar- guerite, and Morgan Boyle, of Centre St., Thornhill. After arriving in this country, David Boyle worked as a black- smith for a short period in York Mills. His red brick smithy, in the hollow, on the west side of Yonge St, was only recently de- molished. He then look up farm- ing, first in Willowdale, and then in Richmond Hill, on the west side of Yonge St. The large white Boyle homestead, a landmark for many years, was torn down after the farm was sold to Don Head Farms. David Boyle's son, David, also became a farmer. acquiring, first, one hundred and five acres, on the west side of Yonge St., at Langstaii, and later, adding one hundred acres on the east side of Yonge St.. which had once belonged to John Langstaif, for whom Langstafi is named. ’ In 1902 when a building on his property, which was operat- ed as a store and post office by Mr. H. Home was destroyed by fire, Mr. Boyle succeeded Mr. Horne as postmaster. The post office used a corner in several private houses until 1912, when Mr. Boyle moved it back to his holdings at Yonge St.. and the Langstai’f sideroad. Two years later he built the present brick building as a combined store, and post office. Mr. the service in the community. The actual work however was dele- gated to an assistant postmaster, or postmistress, and in busy sea- sons, or in the absence of an as- SIStant, his young son Morgan often sold stamps, weighed par- cels, sorted and gave out mail. In 1909 Mr. David Boyle built a commodious brick house on a knoll on his farm east of Yonge St. He and his family enjoyed this new home for four years. Then the property was exprop- riated by the City of Toronto, and the house became the resi- dence of the Governor of the Jail Farm. Langstaff’s loss was Thornhill's gain, for. in 1914 the Boyles bought and moved to Homewood Hall. which had just been vacated by. Dr. Carleton, a general prac- titioner. This charming old house provides a gracious setting for their many interesting pieces of antique furniture. several of which were inherited from their maternal grandparents. The Boyles, for instance, are still us- ing a desk, which is in perfect condition though it came through the Battle of Waterloo. It belong- ed to their great grandfather, John Hanna, whose name is en- graved on one of the brass han- dles. A paymaster in Wellington’s army, he emigrated to Canada, as a half pay officer, after the war, and settled in Scarborough. His daughter Elizabeth married John Morgan, member of a pioneer Scarborough family. From this source they also chair of finely woven straw winch had belonged to Lady Colj borne, and a square iron box stove once owned by Lieut. Gov~ ernor John Graves Simcoe, and which IS now in Sharon. Since the deaths of Mr n Mrs. David Boyle, their dauaghci ters and son. have continued in the family tradition, to serve their church and communitir in an unobtrusive way. While ivill- ing to assist us by giving a few historical facts about their fore- bears, and some details about the too-short career of “Grip” lhev resolutely refused to lalk'abou‘t themselves. We are therefore ad- ding the following particulars from personal knowledge.

She has been a volun- teer aSSistant at Thornhill Lib- rary for more than 23 years, and a member of Thornhill Horticul- tural Society for even longer. Miss Marguerite Boyle, a grad- uate of the Owen Smiley Studio, has made a name for herself as a teacher of elocution in Toronto and Thornhill. She is kept busy by her many pupils, and has countless scholarship, and gold medal winners to her credit. After his father retired, Mr. Morgan Boyle continued to do mixed farming, commuting each day between Thornhill and Lang- staff, until the farm became a subdivision. A former trustee of Langstai‘f Public School, which he once attended, he has been a Director of Richmond Hill Argri- cultural Society for many years. He is a member of Thornhill Masonic Lodge. and a charter member of Thornhill Lions Club, and of the Unionville Curling Club. We also'happen to know that the Boyles were members of the energetic group to whom we owe our Thornhill Park. They put on annual field days in the village, and the funds raised thereby were banked, and eventually, when the price was lowered. us- ed to buy the park property, which had previously been rent- ed for sports events. And who was the aforemen- tioned “Grip”? He was the Boyles' talented tame crow, given to them as a fledgling, and: named for the raven in Dicken's “Bar- when called, the dog, cackle like the hens, and differentiate between friends of the family, and strangers. Fond of accompanying anyone he knew on a walk, he would hop from bush to fence, to tree beside them, pausing briefly, now and then to bury with his beak, in the ground, any tidbit or small shiny object that caught his eye. Best of all he liked to ride on the shoulder, or wrist, of any of the Boyles to the butcher store, where he was always given mor- sels of meat. During the day he roamed the gardbn, and some- times slipped in to the house. At night he slept in the barn but always expected a personal es- cort to his roost. “Mother. who was not very well, found him a very diverting pet", said Miss Boyle, “and he was marvellously well behaved at home". How- ever, there were some complaints that “Grip” visited the Golf Club and picked up the players’ balls; and sometimes flew in through open, unscreened windows and disturbed dressing tables. One day Grip -went “out of bounds" and never returned. DONCASTER .

Earlier in the ses- sion, Chairman W. A. Spear of the hospital board appeared beâ€" fore council to request $80,000. A detailed explanation was given by Mr. Spear for the ur- gent need ior financial assistance to the hospital. He said the hos- pital's net cash deficit is $148,768 with $20,000 being due to indig- ent patients. Municipalities pay York Coun- ty hospital $5.25 for each indig- ent patient [charity case) day’s care. This is not enough to cover the costs of services provided by the hospital so that a loss on in- digent patients for 1957 amount- ed to $19,180, Mr. Spear exâ€" plained. _ No additional maintenance grant was approved for the hos- pital by York county council. A resolution was passed calling for an investigation of the hospital’s operation by the provincial de- partment of welfare. Indigent Patients . A report on the loss to York County hospital due to care-of ndigent patients was presented. It listed the number of charity cases from each municipality; the number of days each spent in hospital; the total cost of the s‘ervices; the amount paid by the municipality and the resulting loss to the hospital. Newmarket had 20 indigent patients at York County hospital in 1958. They spent 278 days in hospital at a cost of $2,931. Since the municipality only paid $1,436 of this amount, a deficit resulted of $1,495. East Gwillimbury’s indigent patients received 365 days of treatment at the hospital. A loss of $3,130 was recorded.

Oppose Grant Opposition was voiced by rep- resentatives of many southern municipalities in York county to the payment of an additional op- erating grant to York County hos- pital. When the expansion of the h05p1ta1 was planned, the county approved a capital grant of $300,- 000_ (payable over ,a fiveâ€"year perio . “It is the obligation of County councxl to contribute for indigent patients,” said Warden Fred Armstrong, reeve of Woodbridge. “But,.I for one ,would oppose anything more. I realize the im- portant job the hospital is doing but there should be other means of taking care of this deficit. It IS the duty of the government to look after this and not the tax payer on the municipal level. “York County h05pital doesn't 9 % WILSON’S ESSO SERVICE STATION Before Passing serve 50 per cent of the county population," continued Mr. Arm- strong. “1 object to any greater levy on my municipality. We are confronted with the problem of having to contribute to Peel County hospital." “There is nothing in this coun- y which is rendering the service to county residents that the hos pital is," replied , Campaign Chairman Mr. C. A. Cathers, who accompanied Mr. Spear. “It s the county's responsibility as a unit to pay its share. Don‘t for- get there was no campaign for public funds in Markham or Vaughan townships. In King township, over $45,000 was do- nated to the bulding campaign. In Newmarket, it was over $50,- 000,” he explained. Mr. Spear told county council each municipal council has the right to name a representative to the Hospital board. These mem- bers have full voting rights and their attendance at the. board meetings would be welcomed, he added. Mr. Spear disagreed with the warden that York County hospi- tal only provided service for 50 per cent of the county‘s popula- tion. He gave a breakdown on the municipalities and their patients for 1957. They were: Newmarket, 1,031; East Gwillimbury. 632; North Gwillimbury, 423; King, 766; Whitchurch, 645; Vaughan, 1297; Markham, 240; Aurora, 351; Georgina, 149; Richmond Hill, 182; Sutton, 37; and Toronto, 110.
