Losing Scent Appeal The pretty. white-striped skunk has lost any appeal it ever might have had as a household pet, according to J. S. Dorland, of the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests at Maple. Reviewing the issue of nineteen “Licen- ces to Keep Game in Cap- tivity" since 1958, he found no skunks included among the 44 animals listed, com- prising 16 raccoon, four red fox, two porcupine. 20 co:- tontail rabbits and two deer. In the past years, a few tame skunks usually were in- cluded. Prolific Shorthorn Cow A pure bred Sho thorn cow. owned by Grcttan Moore, Cameron, Ontario, has established a record of production that may be dif- ficult to match. In producing two consecu- tive pairs of twin calves, she has to her credit four live calves in a time period of eleven months, less two days.

YOUR GARDEN, LAWN AND OUR CLIMATE by Samuel Balogh You know that our climate is not the same as California, so we must take special care of our garden, lawn and soil. We Vaughan Coasts Concord Ask For Five ratepayers from the Concord Subdivision, with Chairman H. Price acting as spokesman appeared before Vaughan Township Council on Monday evening to ask for water, stating that their wells were running dry; they are without any water at all three days a week: wells are polluted; the water at the public school is tainted â€" and housewives can’t get enough water to wash dishes, diapers or clothes. One woman present said a neighbour had built a septic tank 50 feet from her well and that despite the use of water purifiers etc., their well water had been classed as “polluted” for the past two years. “We are looking for anything in the way of water at all”, Mr. Price stated. “We know it’s going to be an ex- pensive project but we would like some hope of water â€" ; not in_ the distant future â€" but now”. Mr. Price asked Councrl 1f the township engineer could examine a spring located near the subdivision and see if it could provide , Miss Richmond Heights THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday, November 5, 1959 3 ) recommend building our garden or lawn to fit our climate, especially in Ontario. We don’t recommend adding too much artificial fertilizer to our soil. We recommend that you pre- pare your garden by giving it a chance to let the sun’s rays and moisture penetrate into the soil. It doesn't matter whether it is sandy soil or clay soil. All farm soils or heavy soils should be'prepared especially from the second part of September to the second part of May. This means if you put more sand or clay in your soil at the above mentioned time you add more weight and body to your soil. For this reason and this reason only we need light soil which will keep the surface of your garden loose enough to permit sun rays and moisture to pen- etrate in as much as possible. So far the best material that we can add is peat loam; not too coarse, not too light; just loose enough to airify your soil. We recommend the following process for sodding and seeding. You could seed your lawn if it were necessary when it is still frozen hard. Put your seed on the ground and put from a 1,4" to 1A", at the most 3A” of peat loam on top of the seeded area, then your soil will be prepared to allow your seed to germinate at a 50 degree climate, You will then have a lawn built for our climate, In the late spring, take a coarse rake and rake up the covering so that the spring air and moisture will penetrate to the roots of your new germinated grass. If you are laying sod we recommend the same amount of peat loam between the original ground and the sod. If you follow these recommendations you save the high price of fancy fertilizers and enjoy seeing your garden being built with your added ambition and nature‘s own hand.

Councillor Bruce Ralph told tails. Councillor Ralph said one the group, “Your query re dc- subdividcr has a proposal, in its veloping a well from a spring would be so expensive it is not likely it could be borne by such a small group." Fifty families. representing 200 persons, are said to be affected, of these 95 per cent have said they want water, the group told the council mem- bers. "Clutching at straws," as one member of the delegation put it, “couldn’t water be tanked around to us?” Residents of the area who have to buy water are spend- ing up to $8.00 a week for water to be delivered to them. Mr. Price said, “It would cost $1,000 for a drilled well, if there is any hope of a township supply I do not want to spend that much money on a new well." Wells in use at present are dug wells, and with the dropâ€"off in the water levels this year, rate- payers in both the Concord and Keffer subdivisions are desper- ately in need of help Council was sympathetic to the needs of ratepayers and Coun- cillor William Anstey asked for a meeting at committee level with the delegation, “so we can draft out a plan with a map of the area and determine the cost of supplying water". He cautioned however, that “if it's at the $50,- vcry youngest infancy, “Our re- quirement from him would be that he develop a well and bring in water. However, thcsc things are very futuristic and I feel for the present area to develop a well now would be out of the question." Councillor Jesse Bryson said. “We realize the need for water and we‘ve been trying to plan for service", he outlined the cir- cuit already supplied with water from Thornhill north and pointed out that the circuit is not near enough to the area in question to put in water as yet. Councillor Ralph pointed out that it was costing over $300,000 to put water into Thornhill and that despite the agreeableness of subdividers it was touch and go before details were finalized. A committee meeting with Concord ratepayers will take place in the very near future. Tight Money Again Mr. Jim Pratt of Equitable Se- curities appeared before council to say. “We just can‘t sell bonds at the price we thought of doing. The people who agreed to buy bonds won't go along with the lower price.” Council decided to take its debentures back to OMIC providing OMIC’s rates don‘t go This charming picture presents from left to right, Miss Evelyn Gordon (Lady-in-waiting), Mrs. Anne Hodg- son (Queen), and Miss Judy Richards (Lady-in-w‘aiting).

Vellore Hall When Vellore Hall has its new heating system installed, the var- ious societies who use the hall will show their appreciation by adding the sum of $250 to the cost, the township will pay the difference of approximately $900. Woodbridge Dump It was not without satisfaction that council members noted the Woodbridge dump, “has really been cleaned up at last”. Numbering System The numbering system for Maple is being planned, now that Thornhill, Concord and the Kefâ€" care of. It was suggested that numbers will run north and south of the Maple sideroad starting with Keele St. An attempt to number houses in new subdivis- ions may also be made in future council noted, in tying up the fin- al odds and ends for a small sub- division proposed for Kleinburg. Maple Water Clerk J. McDonald told coun- cil, approval had been received from the Municipal Board for in- stallation of water in Maple â€" ‘We can now go ahead”. Work is expected to start within the next two weeks. Relief Statement Fifty-five persons received re- lief aid in the amount of $1,051.- 94 for the month of October, the clerk advised. TTC Agreement Reeve John Perry announced to council, “We have one report from our auditors, another is yet to come. We will discuss these reports openly when all reports are in and taken to the T.T.C."

Paving Delayed Deputy-reeve S. F. Tinker, Works Committee Chairman, ex- pressed regret that weather con- ditions made it impossible to com- plete the road program in the area south of Markham Road. He said plans were to have the work completed by October 15, but persistent wet weather had delay- ed operations and now the con- tractor advises that the top and final coat of treatment cannot be laid owing to cold weather. This view is supported by the De- partment of Highways. Mr. Tin- ker said it was a matter of reg- ret that there has been a consid- erable degree of silting and roads are not now in best con- dition especially for pedestrian traffic. Every effort will be made to improve conditions, but he said to try to complete the roads this fall would be a waste of money. Under existing weather conditions satisfactory work can- not be accomplished, he said. He wos hopeful that remedial work can be carried out which will make sure residents do not have the unsatisfactory conditions ex- perienced last spring. Councillor Paterson said he hoped the matter would not beâ€" come a political football. “I think the people understand that we are trying,” said the Mayor. Works Commissioner Whalen explained that it was necessary to proceed with installation of some 800 ft of watermains on Palmer Avenue because council has been waiting since last June for Municipal Board approval. Dog Control A report from the dog control officer prompted council mem- bers to express satisfaction with the co-operative effort with neighboring townships. . Commenting on the satisfac- tory work of the officer, Coun- cillor Paterson said, “I never saw such a dog-free town in my life". “It would appear that what I often described as an insoluble problem has been solved,” said the Mayor. The officer reported a dimin- ishing number of complaints throughout the entire district. Called ’ JACKPOT painted on some store windows, and “stop” signs, some of which were bent. At 2.00 am.
