When Andrew Clubine arrived~250 were present, with the ma- from New Jersey in 1801 and set- tled in York County, he could scarcely have foreseen the future generations who would so thor- oughly approve his choice of lo- cation as to remain in the sur- rounding area for 157 years. At the second annual re-union of the clan. held on Saturday, July 12, at Ratcliffe Park. Gormley, over jorlty coming from the area bounded by Willowdale in the south. Aurora in the north. Stoufl'ville in the east. and King City in the west. In addition, some members of the family had come from as far away as De- troit, Chatham and Brantford.

An encouraging sign of the interest being taken in county court affairs is the number of students, both high school and primary, who have attended sessions. William Blackshaw, principal of Prince Charles school, has done much to stimulate interest among public school children. Harold Garrett has carried on a similar project with stud- ents of Newmarket High school. “This County is privileged to have one of the finest and ‘most respected magistrates in Canada, in the person of Colonel O. S. Hollinrake,” said the Newmarket Era and Express editorial- ly last week. We are happy to concur in the tribute of the Newmarket news- paper and feel that the people of the County of York are most fortunate to have a man of his stature and ability occupying such an important post in our judicial organization. A great number of municipalities throughout the pnovince, both large and small, have already or are in the pro- cess of converting to these new “Yield” signs in a move to improve the driving habits of their motorists. Commenting editorially on the York County magistrate the Era ‘& Ex- press said, “It is refreshing to see him in action. His patience, fairness, under- standing and respect for the individual are matched by his astute interpretation of the law and administration of justice. Councillor S. F. Tinker made a wise suggestion at last week’s meeting of Richmond Hill Town Council when he recommended council consider the introduction of “Yield Right of Way" signs instead of “Stop” signs at suitable intersections throughout the town. Act- ing Police Committee Chairman Coun- cillor J. Haggart stated that the com- mittee is planning to review the whole question of “Stop” signs throughout the town and will make a report to council shortly. Councillor Haggart agreed that “Yield Right of Way” signs are all that will likely be needed at many inter- sections. Too often complimentary remaxjks such as expressed by the Era are re- seryed for obituaries. This is unfor- tunate and we are strong believers in handing out bouquets while the recip- ient can still smell the roses. Magistrate Hollim‘ake’s work with teenagers is especially commendable. In recent years Richmond Hill has enjoyed an era of remarkable growth, but the influx of industry has in no way kept pace with the residential de- velopment. There are in the municipal- ity many acres of industrial sites, and to fill these vacant sites town council has decided to call in the help of an expert and appointed an industrial commissioner. Richmond Hill needs industrial de- velopment. It is needed to provide at- home employment for people of the district and to provide additional as- sessment to help carry the tax burden. Richmond Hill Town Council has appointed an Industrial Commissioner and Mr. Robert G. Langford who was selected for this position will commence his duties here August lst.' We wish the new commissioner every success and hope that citizens of the Town will give him whole-hearted support.

York Counly Magistrate Industrial Commissioner On-e pleasant pursuit of the day was the examination of old family records gathered by Mr. Ira Clubine of Aurora, who has done a great deal of research in tracing the various branches of the family. as well as recording his own family tree. Mrs. Laura Hope of Newmarket has in her possession the original hand- written marriage certificate of Andrew Clubine from the 1780's and issued in New Jersey, and this also was the subject of much interest. After races and games in the afternoon, a lovely picnic supper was enjoyed by all, after which elections were held for the exec- utive to act for the coming year. The new president will be Mr. Earl Empringham of Gormley, and a sincere vote of thanks was tendered to Mr. Charles Clubine for his capable handling of that post for the last year. Presenta- tions were made to Mrs. Lough- eed of Barrie. who. at 85, was the oldest person present. and to little Tammie Young of Downsâ€" view, the youngest at three weeks. At many intersections having “Stop” signs, the warning is ignored because for a greater part of the day there is insufficient traffic on the through street to warrant a full stop. Consequently, motorists fall into the habit of regarding all “Stop” signs, even those posted at the busiest intersec- tions, as warnings to be honored in the breach as much as in the observance. Drivers who merely slow down at a -“Stop” sign before entering an inter- section are among 'Richmond Hill’s more common sights. Humor is not normally associated with court, yet Magistrate Hollinrake’s ability to ease a situation with a bit of humor adds to the fine atmosphere of the Newmarket court. Recently a ‘75- year-old man was in court on a charge. When a magistrate asked him his name, the gentleman answered, “You know me Your Honor. I’ve been around these parts for a long time.” The magistrate had a friendly chat before continuing with the case. We would like to express our sin- cere appreciation to Magistrate 0. S. Hollinrake for the inspiring and excell- ent work he is doing. Col. Hollinrake has been magistrate since 1947.” Magistrate Hollinrake is especially sensitive to traffic infractions. A large photograph of a fatal accident hangs in court to remind offenders what can happen when a traffic law is broken. The N ewmarket trafi'ic clinic came into being through the leadership of Col. Hollinrake. This clinic provides prac- tical assistance for those who have a. drinking problem. It has done much to improve the driving habits of York County citizens. ’ Perhaps, few youngsters who come be- fore him appreciate the ‘fair deal' they receive. He displays a sympathetic un- derstanding of the problems of the youth of today. On many occasions he will remand a case until he has been able to study the facts and the indivi- duals involved. ‘ In the task he has undertaken the industrial commissioner will need the support of council and citizens gener- ally. The job he will undertake on Aug- ust lst is not an easy one. Council or people must not expect miracles. The task of covering vacant industrial sites with bustling factories is not one which can be accomplished over-night. The fact that‘town council has appointed an industrial commissioner doesn’t solve the problem of Richmond Hill’s need for industrial assessment. It’s a step in the right direction. A lot of patient plugging and hard work will be required to achieve success. If the majority of the farmers vote YES. the co-operative efi'ort being maintained by the hog pro- ducers’ marketing board will con- tinue this full scale of operation, supervising the little pig on his way to market. right up until he is taken over by a buyer, and his former owner has a bonafide cheque forwarded to him by mail from the Hog Producers’ Co-opâ€" eratlve sales office. 75.000 Ontario voters are elig- ible to go to the polls tomorrow. Friday. to support or reject the present hog marketing plan, as operated by the Hog Producers' Coâ€"operative, located on Dundas St. West, Toronto. A great deal of interest, re- garding the impending vote. has been shown by township farmers in the area surrounding Rich- mond Hill â€" and on Friday they will help to decide the importance of the 16 yards now open in 24 Ontario counties, which the mar- keting agency has assembled to receive hogs for market. 956 District Farmers Vote Friday Re.

July 24th at 8 pm. at St. Matthew’s United Church, Crosby Avenue. It is hoped that a strong representa- tion of parents will attend this meeting as the election of an executive is planned. The home and school federation will have an organizer present. The new principal of Crosby School, Mr. E. Gooding, will speak and answer any questions concerning school operations in the fall. Fire fighting accounts for the township for the past month to- talled $720. Aurora received $420 for answering six fire calls and Stoufiville $300 for five calls. There's nothing sportsmanlike about auto accidents or hospital wards. Charges that it is un- sporting or gestapo procedure to put traffic officers in plain clothes and in unmarked cars is ridiculous. If we follow the same thinking “we should disband the detective division of all police forces. Traffic laws like all laws are made to protect people. We want 'the law enforced and we want offenders punished. If this can be accomplished better by plains- clothesmlen and ghost cars let's have them. If you have regard for public safety and don't break the law you don’t need to worry whether the law is dress-ed in uniform, Bermuda shorts or white tie and tails. TWp. Budget I958 Near 1/2 Million Council instructed the clerk to issue a taxi licence to Victor Paxton of Ballantrae provided he is able to- secure the required insurance protection. Fire Fighting Account I know there is a lot of public sentiment in favor of such ac- tion. But for one I don‘t see any- thing wrong with ghost cars for law enforcement. How anyone can protest against moves to cut traffic deaths and accidents is beyond my comprehension. Char- ges of gestapo tactics are heard and others will say it is not sport- ing for police cars to be unmark- ed. It violates principles of sportsmanship they say. Traffic régulations whether speed limit or stop signs are for the protection of all. If we can do a bttter job with plainclothes- men, let's have them. CIVIS Council was advised at their Thursday night meeting by the County of York, that grants for indigent patients in Nursing Homes, would be discontinued on August lst, unless such homes are approved by the Department of Health and the Fire Dept. Ballantrae Taxi The annual tax bills for Whit- church Township have now been prepared and show a total bud- get to be raised of $453,290.66 with a mill rate of 53.85. Must Be Approved ‘ I was very interested to read in “The Liberal” last week that Councillor Tinker suggested con- sideration be given to plain- clothesmen for enforcing traffic regulatons. More power to the suggestion. When Richmond Hill purchas- ed police cruisers recently, I noted council insisted they be plainly marked as such. Dear Mr. Editor: “Dear Mr. Editor” Ghost Cars For Law Enforcement “Presented to Mr. Ira D. Ram- er â€"â€" Senior. Member -- Ontario Goodwill Crop Tour to Quebec, 1958” - reads the inscription on the gold-plated cowbell present- ed to Mr. Ramer recently. Ap- propriately, this gift symbolizes the success of his prize-winning dairy cows. The Burnside Farm was next visited â€"- owned by the Ness fam- ily, who came to Canada in 1852, settling on this farm of 470 acâ€" res. and world famous for their Ayrshire registered cattle. Frank- lin Centre, Covey Hill was the next stotp with Lac Hermas pic- nic grounds for supper. also for boating and swimming. As in previous years, Mrs. Ra- mer accompanied Mr. Ramer on this two-weeks‘ annual tour, sponsored by the Ontario 'Soil & Crop Improvement Association. Richmond Hill was also repres- ented by Miss Margaret Ireland. MiSS Stella Mackie, Miss Mabel Harbrln. and Mr. and Mrs. Har- ry Austin. Departing from Toronto on the Sunday night â€" the special C. N.R. train under Mr. L. C. Roy, “Chief Despatcher Pop", the group arrived at 8:30 am. Mon- day at Ste. Anne de Bellevue, where buses took them to Mac- donald College for breakfast, with official welcome by Vice- Prlncipal D127 H. G. Dion. At Hardee Vegetable Farms, the group visited .the packing plant, as well as being treated to a special demonstration on crop dusting by airplane. Other farms visited included Shadybrook Farm, West Brome (Jersey Cat- tle and Belgian horses); the Hunt Farm (steer feeding) at Bury; McLeod's Lake Alymer, 2,000- acre farm (Holsteins).

Passing Ned Hill’s I became aware of what a real retreat they had made with the screen of lilac and locust trees when they chose the site of the old barn of an early farm. A. S. Armstrong’s 150 foot border of flow- bunda roses in rainbow colors stretching back from the road is a real sight at this time of the year. Neatness is the predominant note among the gar- dens in the very new parts. Thriving barberry hedges 'or white picket fences and good foundation planting have got each gardener off to a good start. For color the lawns sport yellow or red or turquoise wading pools and grow lively little tots in bright bathing suits. (Where will these children swim when they reach six and seven ? . . . there seem to be thousands of them). These lillies are a great favorite, Frank Schissler has one with 145 blooms on it! The garden at 171 Cen- tre Street is like a flower arrangement itself with lilies and delphinium providing complementary colors to the hundreds of roses, hybrids, ramblers, floribunda in beds and tdmbling along the picket fences. All these growers, in friendly rivalry, take their best blooms to the seasonal flower shows that the Hor- ticultural Society holds, and this expert interest helps to make it the strong club it is. They never seem to he too blisy‘ to helpheginners, and the society has done We once were new to the hill and in ten years have made some progress towards making a garden from a sloping farm field . . . so I wandered through ihe sutgdivisions to see how these newcomers were mak- ing on . Glenbrae Subdivision seemed more established hor- ticulturally than most; of the others, with none of the lawns showing the dull brown that the cruel June drought had burnt new sod. Then I went to see R. D. Little, for he has only been in his new home for a year and a half, and he kindly showed me round his amazing garden. Indeed he’s showing some of his Iillies at the lily show at Hart House this Week.

By the beginning of July when the jeweltoned roses appear in their best a stroll through nearly any one of our gardens is most delightful as each gardener lovingly points out the blooms most dear to his or her heart. His garden plan, his show of bloom, are both an inspiration 1 Two among the many exciting things he told me stand out for the rest of us who are beginners . ,_ . one is that he laid out his beds and his planting plan on paper before touching the soil. (1 did that too, but mine doesn’t look as though I’d ever graduated from Grade I in Horticulture) and the other was always to get good varieties. He said in perennials he grew from seed as you get very much better varieties. (“Bob” also does hi own cross-pollinating in his Iris and Lillies and has registered two new Iris this year). Lillies, lillies, from the white madonna, the yellows into deep reds and oranges stood among the many- shaded blue delphiniums in the curved beds. ‘Summer Love’, a yellow bloom that must be eight inches across he feels is a prizewinner. ‘Enchantment’ is a soft orange that multiplies Well and gives wonderful color for new gardens. Among the questions that came tumbling out of me was What to grow for color in a new garden? “Daf- fodils, iris, lillies, phlox and mums will give you a show of color all season. Leave space at the front of the bed for a border of petunias,” he said, and mentioned that ‘Red Satin’ Was a favorite of his. The gardens of Mrs. Anderson on Centre Street and the Langstafl's and Lambs on Church Street are quiet and sheltered with many shade trees and beautiful flowering shrubs to attract the birds. I thought, Mr. Lamb must use a special grass seed, but it is fertilizer, water and cutting that produces such a fine even texture to his emerald 1awn..(I thought of some of the sod that had been foisted off on us, gardening novices, that to- day I would send right back to the crab grass plot it came from . _ . fair game, we beginners!) A white dbve-cote with purple martins happily dart- ing in and out the tiny holes makes an interest point to tear one’s eyes from the circular begonia bed that must be 12 feet across, and the colorful lily bed where their warm tones blend with zinnias in a most happy wag] and our.friend -‘Red rSatin’ petunias make the bor er.
