Junior Farmers Annual Judging Contest May 3| A delegation of Highland Park ratepayers waited on council to register a number of complaints against the operation of Frank Watts Sod Supply 00.. located on Yonge Street in Highland Park. The ratepayers objected to the number of trucks using the area, odours, the lack of sanitary facili- ties, and the piling of 19am close to the sidewalk. Mr. Watts who was present at the meeting stated he is quite willing to abide by any township bylaws in the operation of his business. A township bylaw approved by the Department of Highways per- mits only a combined maximum load and truck limit of three tons on any Highland Park roads. However the township has yet to erect signs in the area stating the roads are restricted to a cer- tain load limit. Reeve W. L. Clark .promised the signs would be erected at once. A strong protest by Dr. Clark Noble regarding the dumping of garbage and rubbish on the Elgin Mills Sideroad brought a promise by council to clean up the condi- tion. Dr. Noble advocated more police patrols ,the erection of “No Dumping" signs and the removal of the garbage and rubbish from the roads by the municipality. Dr. Noble stated his intention to bring the matter to the attention of the provincial Department of Health if the township failed to act. “I brought the matter to the attention of our road department some time ago," remarked Depu- ty-reeve W. Dean. “What we need is more co-operation from our employees," added Mr. Dean. Reeve Clark reported he had tak- en the matter up with the road department last week. “I wonder if we are not asking the road de- partment to do too much, what we need is extra help,” stated Councilbr Watson. In the matter of holding a deer hunt this fall in the northwest corner of the township Mr. Ellis stated the department would be willing to co-operate with the township in organizing such a hunt. Deer cause both damage to crops and present a hazard to motorists. A deer hunt if it is held will be subject to further negotiations between Markham and the department. Highland Park Delegation Mr. Ellis stated the department is desirous of setting up a stand- ard pheasant season across the whole of outhern Ontario. In the past the season varied from m'u- nicipality to municipality, making the work of conservation officers and game officials difficult. The longer s‘eason' which will start on a Wednesday instead of a Satur- day will reduce the usual Satur- day rush of hunters. Mr. Harper stated although he had original- ly opposed tthe longer season from the standpoint of the farm- er he would be glad to co-operate with the province. At the meeting of the Directors of the York County Junior Farm- ers' Association on May 7th, plans were made to hold their annual Livestock Judging Competition on Saturday, May aist, with a baaniet in the evening when the results will be announced and prizes awarded. In view of the number of girls taking part in 4-H Calf Clubs, it was decided to open the- competition to girls in both the junior section. 14 to 18 and senior section, 19 to 26 years of age inclusive. Another change this year was announced by Agricultural Rep. W. M. Cockburn, who is arranging to have a bus provided at no cost to the young people, to tour the farmS‘where the stock will be judged. Usually traffic is heavy on Saturdays and this will make for greater safety and speed up the programme as compared with taking a large ‘number of cars. The contestants will register at the Agricultural office in New- market between 8 and 8:30 am. and the bus will leave at 8:30. The three Junior Farmer Clubs are holding coaching classes in preparation for the contest when four classes of dairy cattle, and two each of beef and swine, will be judged. On their return to Newmarket. the boys and girls will give oral reasons on four classes only, Hunters will be allowed a maxi- mum kill of three birds a day. Indications are the department may also impose a maximum bag for the 10 day period. Mr. Dor- land stated that in the past the hunt has worked out at the aver- age of one pheasant to every four hunters. Markham has yet to set the number of non~resldent hunt- ing licenses it will sell this year. Last year 300 non-resident 1i- censes were sold. Any bonaâ€"fide resident of the township is eli- gible to purchase a license. The province sets a minimum figure of 200 on the sale of non-resident licenses. Hunting in the first con- cession of Markham is forbidden by bylaw. On a resolution moved and seconded by Councillors S. Wat- son and L. Mumberson and car- ried by council. Markham Coun- cil Monday agreed to accept a recommendation of the Depart- ment of Lands and Forests and extend its pheasant hunting sea- son from three to 10 days on a trial basis for this year. This year's hunt will be held from October 22nd to November lst. which dates will coincide with the majority of the 16 townships in the Lake Simcoe Lands and Forests district. Council had previously expressed some mis- givings .about the extended sea- son but following a discussion with Markham Game Warden E. Harper and J. S. EllisI Senior Conservation Officer and J. S. Dorland, Assistant Conservation Officer of the Department of Lands and Forests at Monday's meeting agreed to the longer sea- son. Markham Extends Their Annual Pheasant Hunt From 3 To IO Days LASKAY : The sixth concession road through King and Vaughan Townships is now open to through traffic for the first time since last civic holiday in August. At that time the Department of Highways began tearing out the old-bridge that had proved too narrow for modern traffic con- ditions ,replacing‘it with a hand- some con'crete bridge over the east branch of the Humber River. The fire committee (Councillors Watson and Mumberson) will ar- range a meeting with Richmond Hill to discuss the towns pro- posed new May ‘lst fire agree- ment. Richmond Hill on that date raised the standby fee from $300. to $1,000.000 and the cost of fighting individual fires from $50.00 to $125.00. On a motion moved by Deputyâ€" reeve Dean and seconded by Councillor Watson council re- fused to install a 2,000 gas stor- age tank on his property. Coun- cillor Mumberson had opposed the‘application until sucn time as council had ascertained the feelings of the other people in the community regarding the pro- posed installation Mr. Mumberson expressed concern that the prop- erty might become a large truck depot. The property in question is also not zoned as commercial. in the matter of securing new dumping facilities for towuship residents. “It's not our people who are dumping on the roads. it's outsiders,‘ contended Reeve Clark. Mr. Clark reported the township can likely reach an agreement with Mr. H. Kennedy who owns an unused gravel pit located between the 5th and 6th concessions for its use as a pub- lic dump. As an alternative Mr. Clark suggested Markham make use.ot' the Whitchurch Dump lo- cated on the 8th concession. He felt an agreement could be reached with Whitchurch Council. Deputy-reeve Dean objected to the Whitchurch location as being inacessibie for Markham resi- dents. Reeve Clark offered little hope of the county establishing a huge incinerator this year for use by all the district municipali- ties. Councillor Watson suggested council consider leaving a d‘ump open all summer for the conveniâ€" ence of township residents. The water and sanitation committee will continue its investigatiton of adequate dumping facilities. Solicitor J. D. L‘ucas has in- formed the members a munici- pality has no authority to license day nurseries. The matter falls under the camplete jurisdiction at the province. Mr. Lucas cited the Day Nurseries Act as provin- cial legislation covering the op- eration of a day nursery. Turning to the general matter of dumping Deputy-reeve Dean felt neither Markham or the coun- ty were accomplishing anything “The condition of the Markham and Elgin Mills Sideroads is a disgraceful situation," remarked Council'~0" Mumberson. He advo- cated that the road department eiean up the ditches at once. That’s a very special mug that Gard Hodgson (right) is dipping into brew kettle as CARLING President C. O. Dalton looks on. The mug bears a copper plaque taken from a recently discarded brew kettle Mr. Hodgson helped install in 1912. Mr. Hodgson has had 48 years service with the Carling Niagara Street Brew- ery, where he and his father completed more than a century of continuous service. The presentation of the mug was mad. at a Quarter Century Club banquet held recently in Windsor. Mr. Hodgson retires in July. Town: .
