The original site of the new subdivision was once 250 acres of fertile farm land. stretching from the hydro power line to Newtonbrook United Church, and from Yonge Street back to the grounds of St. John's Convales- cent Hospital. At that time, Mr. John Francis owned the property and lived there with his wife and two sons, Edward and John, farming the land. When the Francis family moved to another farm in Thornhill, they‘leased the land for several years. After the death of Mr. Francis Senior, his sons sold the property in 1910 Progress. like Time, marches on. Amid the rom- and bustle of Yonge Street. a new "Village" is being born.

In 1932, thirty-four acres to the south of the property were sold to the Ontario Hydro Com- mission for installation of the power line. Soon after, twenty- five acres were sold, these to the Sisters of St. John the Divine for their Convalescent Hospital on Cummer Avenue in North York. 0n the death of Mr. Elliott, the land was bequeathed to his sons George and Matthew. In 1938, they renovated their old home- stead and obtained a tavern lic- ense for the Algonquin Hotel. Later they sold the hotel and leased the remaining property for an eighteen hole “Pay 'as ydu Play" golf course. An auction barn and furniture warehouse was the barn’s next transformation. when in 1948. J. Simpson leased the property and renovated it for that purpose. For ten years, "Simpson's Barn" was patronized by hundreds for horne furnishings. No longer does the barn stand to link the present with the past, for. it has now been torn down to make way for new homes. The cocky weather-vane which proud- ly perched atop the roof, now complements the collection of farm implements of a Toronto district museum; old documents found skulking in dark corners have been sent to their next of kin; the last of the rubble has been hauled away. But the occasion is not mere- ly the funeral pyre of an old farm, but rather, another step in the history of progress. The land was later rented and used as a riding academy. Hay- rides in the summer, sleigh rid- ing in the winter, were enjoyed for many years by young couples who came out to the country from Toronto for the eyening. to Mr. John Elliott. With his wife and two sons. Matthew and George, Mr. Elliott moéed to the farm. living in the house which is now the Algonquin Hotel on Yonge Street. The Elliotts plan- ned to raise shox‘thorn beef catâ€" tle, and it soon became apparent that a new barn was essential. Mr. William McKenzie was con- tracted to build the barn. which stood on the original site until torn down recently. On com- pletion, the cost of building ex- ceeded the original estimate by many hundred dollars, which provoked a long and bitter' legal battle between the owner and the builder. The dispute, which was only one of many that dot the history of this edifice, was ended when the final appeal reached the Privy Council in England.

By Ron Stag; Jr. A.S.M. Canoelists ‘ Temperanceville W. I. Wins Award 2nd jéornAl// .5: Thomhifl NEWMARKET : An emergency meeting was held recently on the rabies problem in York County. A bounty was suggested for faxes to help the situation. A mile from the destination. Elliot Falls. small rapids were encountered and while these were being explored one of the canoes )verturned. In helping the boys from this canoe a second canoe shipped water soaking the boys' things. With six of the nine boys without clothes or sleeping bags the scouts would have been in a sad condition had it not been for an elderl) couple, the Tuckers, living across the river. who offered to put the six boys up for the night and provide clothes. Along with this they helped cook meals and dry out the scouts’ clothing. Before this he had taken the rest of the troop to see Elliot Falls. and had to go to get them. When Scouter arrived at Elliot Falls the three boys asked if they could stay and go back with the canoe trip on the way up. Scouter agreed to this and later that day brougth up a canoe for them. ' The trips proved to be quite an experience for those who had never been in a canoe before this year and also for those who had spent some time in these Eraft! charge After traversing a number of lakes. large and small, along with several. short stretches of river. the canoes came to the las part of the trip, a section of the river which none of the troop had been on before. ARE YOU TIRED' On Wednesday morning 6 boys took the canoes back while the other three stayed to dry the clothes. Later that day Scouter came up to get the clothes. and he thanked Mrs. Tucker fo help- ing the scouts. After a pleasant night's sleep (with the mosquitoes) the three cargoes started back. Stopping at the Tuckers' to say good-bye the boys were given some freshly baked biscuits to eat on the way. As they continued the boys continually met heavy waves, until a half mile from camp they had to stop. After three hours, two boats set out from camp and soon found the boys. While the con- tents of two canoes were trans- fered into the boats the third canoe set out and despite being almost totally out of the water, a great deal of the time it suc- cessfully made shore on the other side and landed at camp. Need- less to say, the boys ate a hearty meal, which happened to be lob- 24 HOUR SERVICE RICHVALE SEPTIC TANK SERVICE 8. BAKER m can-vine Road We» ‘ AV. H563 ster‘ Septic Tanks Pumped & Cleaned CO“!
