Miss Evelyn Green- wood, Mrs. Charlotte Brunt, Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Seymour Mr. Dave Masters, Mr. A. V. Epworth. Mrs. R. Dennett. In the absence of the President. the chair was taken by the Vice-President. Mr. Walter Whale. In the election of officers for the coming year, the Board of Directors w: returned by acclamation. Breeders attencied frém all over Ontario, Manitoba and parts of the States. The Thornhill Board of Trus- tees met briefly Wednesday of last week, the session consisting mostly of approving bills for pay- ment. Among these was included one for slightly under $500.00 for winter maintenance of the swim- ming pool (hydro and fuel oil) from the Thornhill Area Recre- ation Committee. On the advice of Trustee Frank Tucker the trustees decided to ask the ARC. to apply this sum against their 1958 grant of $500.00 to the vill- age for park maintenance, and to forward the difference to the board. Guest speaker - Mr. E. Ship- ley Birrell, well-known fur con- sultant of Toronto, gave a most interesting address and spoke very l‘ighly of the quality of the Nutria pelts on display from local ranches. He also gave a demon- stration of dropping and letting out Nutria Pelts. At che request of the Directors of the Ottawa and Central Ont- ario Exhibition the Canadian Nut- ria Breeders Association will have a display of live Nutria and fin- ished pelts at the Ottawa Exhi- bition. August 22 to August 30. There ivill also be a display Chairman Allan Sumner said that the case of the nursing- home being operated in a resi- dential zone on Yonge St. was being taken care of by Markham Township. He expected to be ad- vised shortly that the tenants have been stopped using the pro- perty as a nursing home. He also said that York Farmers‘ Market stopped the Saturday night dances last June 15. The chairman and Trustee Tucker discussed the paving of village roads. Trustee Patrick McTaggart-Cowan is out of town on holidays. Chairman Sumner said the village could pave the roads as a local improvement, but this would mean unequal costs to the villagers because of its location in two townships, also that the village could not participate in the Township of Highways road subsidy. The board had written to the Dept. of Municipal Affairs to ask that the Municipal Act be amended to empower police villages to is- sue debentures for road paving. as they may do for other works The Canadian Nutria Breeders Association held their annual meeting on Saturday, August 9th in the Massey Hall at the Ontario Agriculiural College.

NORTH YORK : Industrial and commercial building in North York is about half the volume at present to what it was last year. The decrease reflects the general recession in business activity. Mys.

A Tax Bill, dated November 1883â€"issued by C. Nixon. col- lector for Vaughan Township, reads "County rale. $5.83; Town- ship rate. $6.94; School rate, 57. 63: Dog tax, $1.00; Total tax . $21.40".

A reply stat- ed that the suggestion would re- ceive consideration wken am- endments were taken before the Legislature. The trustees felt this might be some time in \the Fall. Though not happy with pro- gress they thought it was just possible that difficulties would be cleared up in time for an early start on paving next spring. Meantime they decided to wait for Trustee McTaggart-Cowan‘s presence before they took further action. Trustee Tucker felt his knowledge of government pro- cedures would be valuable in deciding how best to approach the province again. A letter from King City show- ing the forecast of costs to be not greater and possibly somewhat less if that police village incor- porated as a village proved of interest to the trustees. They de- cided to examine the King re- port carefully and to compare it with their two-year-old report applying to Thornhill if it be- came a village. In 1864 the next generation moved to lots 37 and 38, on the west side of Yonge Street. now Garden Avenue. The family homesteadâ€"a roughcast struct- ureâ€"-built in 1880, is still occup- ied. Vaughan Township wrote it was considering a by-law sug- gested by Thornhili to make a four-foot chainlink fence around private swimming pools obligaâ€" tory. Markham Township has reâ€" cently passed surh a by-law. Trustee Tucker surmised that Vaughan had run into the ques- tion of when is a farm pond a swimming pool. The trustees decided to have some wiring in park buildings reviewed. especially in the old gumphouse where they proposed removing the pump and motor, and in the new garage for village vehicles and equipment. sue of the Richmond Hill news- paper in 1878 â€" the Chapman family have received their copies of this paper regularly.

AURORA : The who would still like to attend is very large and some children may not be able to attend because of the time limit and the restricted number who'may be accommodated adequately.

The question h: been referred to the Met: Police Commission for a report One of the many phases of the work of Women's Institute branches is the compiling of his- tories of local communities, known as Tweedsmuir Histories, and this work is being done by Langstaff's Mark Vaun Women's Institute. Any residents of the community who have any histori- cal papers or pictures which would add to this history are ask- ed to give these to any of the members of this group so that future generations will know of these changes now taking place. Mr. and Mrs. Drew. Fairview Avenue. have just returned from a week‘s camping trip at Tima- gami, Ontario. While Lhere, they climbed one of the firetowers used by the Department of Lands and Forest: for the prevention of forest fires. A year of changes seems to be in the offing for Langstaff. The residents have watched wih inter- est the demolition of Morris Store on the corner of No. 7 and Yonge. and there remains now only a few broken bricks and rubble. The proposed highway will bring with it more changes, and also the disposition of the Ontario Hospital property, the installing of water in the Mark- ham area. etc. Mr. and Mrs. John Raymond Vanderburgh, 554 Yonge St., Thornhill. celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniver- sary on Tuesday, August 5, 1958.

It is a good plan to check your summer diet against Cana- da’s Food Rules to make sure that even in hot weathter they are receiving a balanced and adequate diet. Almost all the vegetables which you normally serve may be dress- ed up appetizingly in salads and served cold. Meats. eggs, cheeses and fish should all be included in your summer diet. It is often possible to do essential cooking in the morning so that the heat produced in the preparation of a meal does not spoil the appetite for the meal. How- ever remember that cooked foods should be cooled as quickly as possible and re- frigerated because bacteria grow quickly in foods at summer temperatures. DEPT. OF HEALTH TWP.
