Confirmation Golden branches‘ of forSythia, pansies, and pink daisies graced the drawing room. yellow freezia and hyacinths looked cheerful in the bedrooms, pretty spring hats and frocks were -much in evi- dence, and everywhere there was a pleasant buzz of conversation as groups of friends chatted, and moved about, admiring the unique furnishings and decor, and the beautiful view from the windows. Before their house was built Lady Watson-Watt searched Ontario and Quebec for old pine beams and flooring. and for mellowed bricks for the fireplace. She haunted auction sales, and an- tique shops, to find additions to he: already notable collection of early Canadian pine furniture, and she discovered some of the effective matching wall paper. and Chintz. in California.

Richmond Hill and Thornhill. when the Watâ€" son-Watts held “open house" last Saturday afternoon and evening, in aid of furnishings for the new Thornhill Presbyterian Church.

This saving would not apply of course when a dealer is overstocked with ,V used cars but when his stock is low 5 you can be sure that he will give you I top price for your trade and sell his : new car for a few dollars over cost. Thats our situation right now. Our used car stock is TOO LOW and we’ve got plenty of new cars. Just to give Don Little; you some idea of how good our allow" ances are â€" during the last week we allowed $2,640 for a 1957 Monarch Sedan â€" 81.910. for 1957 Ford Coach â€" $1,053. for a 1953 Ford Sedan and $1,748. for a 1956 Ford Sedan. to acquaint any interested persons with the location of the new Canadian National Railway Access Line as it affects the Township of Markham. Ofl’icials of the C.N.R. will be present to answer any questions on the project. A Public Meeting will be held in the Auditorium of One of the most frequent questions we are asked in our business is “When is the best time to trade my car ?” and probably the simplest answer would be when the new car demand is down and the used car demand high. During a winter like we’ve had this year most people seem a little reluctant to take a new car out before the good weather comes when actually they would save $100. to $150. by making a deal now.
