C. T. CRISP, Clerk. c3w19 NEWMARKET : Mr. Harry Mark- ham of Newmarket returned last week from a two week hunt- ing trip in Newfoundland where he bagged a 900 pound moose - with a bow and arrow. His eldest son Robert Jr. was seriously injured in a construc- tion accident seven weeks ago and still is in the hospital in a state of coma. His condition at the time of going to press is reported as unchanged. Mr. Ross is a building superin. tendent and his employment in the construction industry takes him to jobs in different parts of the province and he has found it increasingly difficult to attend to council meetings and town bus- iness. COUNCILLOR R. P. ROSS Completing his first year as a member of Richmond Hill Town Council has announced hat he will not stand for re-ele tion at the coming election. Previous to standing for council Mr. Ross served four years as public school trustee and is a past chairman of the Board.

A letter from the Planning Board asking $2500 in addition to the $7000 budget already pro- vided for was laid over for con- sideration at the next “council meeting. The letter recommended widening of Crosby Ave. to a width of 86 ft. and stated that an early report would be presented on Yonge St., development. The letter also asked consideration for some regulation of the height of hedges or other barriers at cor- ners in the interests of safety. New Signs ' Council gave unanimous sup- port for a grant of $100 to the newly organized Safety Council. The Mayor said he supported whole-heartedly the work of the Safety Council. The experience of other centres he said was that such an organization helped re- duce the number of accidents. Planning Board Deputy-reeve Tinker reported that permission of the Highways Dept. has been secured for two new signs at the north and south entrances of the town.

Committee Mr. Lagerquist’s parents, Dr. and Mrs. A. W. Lagerquist were born within three miles of each other near Stockholm, Sweden, but did not meet until they were in China. Both their families em- igrated to the States, his family to Chicago, 111., and her family to Mead, Nebraska, near Omaha. In 1890 Mrs. Lagerquist went out to north central China under the Scandinavian Missionary Alliance. The next year, Dr. Lagerquist went out from Moody’s. Chicago, under the China Inland Mission. being sent to the same district in Shensi province.

' 'Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Lagerquist with son Clare and daughter Frida From China To Richmond Hill Lagerquist Studio Now In _E‘VE1_IMYBODY7 IN RICHMOND HILL known the Lag- In 1915, Clarence returned to the States to complete his educa- tion, enrolling at Wheaton Col- lege, II]. In early spring 1917, when the first war was at the crit- ical stage, Canada being short of manpower to get the wheat crop in, requested students to help on Canadian farms, so Clarence went up to Alberta and liked farming so much that he never returned to Wheaten. He continued farm- ing for the next seven years af- ter which he headed east and set- tled in Toronto. ' His father’s hobby was photog- raphy and as a result he had early opportunities to learn this art, beginning about the age of ten. His first camera was a little Japanese magazine plate camera, taking half English quarter-plate size plates. Because correct size plates were unattainable, Clar- ence had to cut the plates in half in the dark to fit his camera, us- ing a garnet for an improvised cutter, obtained from rocks on the seashore. For many years Clarence was free-lancing on the side, while working in the ofiice of a Metro Daily, and has been doing candid wedding photo- graphy since 1935. He joined the Toronto Focal Forum Camera Club and was twice winner and once runner-up for the George Drew Trophy, presented by Col. George Drew to the Club. The C.I.M. Schools had a won- derful staff of teachers, many from Oxford or Cambridge, the scholastic standing high, and the schools were conducted in the best British tradition, many of the students rising to promin- ence in various fields of life, am- ong them Rt. Rev. Kenneth Ev- rans Bishop of Ontario; Henry Luce, Editor of Life Magazine; Kenneth W. Taylor, who is Dep- uty Minister of Finance; also Thornton Wilder, the famous Thornton Wilder, Clarence recalls one amusing personal incident. All students were due in the au- ditorium by 8 am. for the morn- ‘ing assembly. The teacher in ‘ charge objected to latecomers and ‘warned the school that the doors would be closed at 8 am. sharp. ‘The late arrivals would receive a ‘little reminder on punctuality in the form of alight quick flip of. ‘a paddle on the hand, which tstung. The next morning there were about 30 in a row, locked Tout, so out came the teacher and when he saw the number decided he would pick every other one. Wilder a wonderful violinist, was standing ahead of Clarence and when the teacher reached him, looked at Wilder’s artistically slim and shapely hands and de- clared, “I can't touch artistic hands like those”, and passed on to Clarence, and looking at his more powerful looking hands, he added, “This is the kind I like to get hold of”. Like a’ true Scot, he was kind, generous, and a good sport, and very strict on punc- tuality. He gave'young Lager- quist his first lessons in golfing. Clarence opened a photograph- ic studio in North Toronto in 1946. He was often called to Rich- mond Hill to take wedding can- dids, or home portraits. He liked ish missionary, a chum of Dr. Lagerquist's. Within a short time. her husband was stricken with the black smallpox, and on his death-bed he asked Dr. Lager- quist, who‘ was attending him, to look after his widow, which he did â€" eventually marrying her. Born In China Clarence was born at Chow- Chih, in Shensi province, and the family returned to the States for their first furlough. During this time the Boxer Uprising occur- red, in which so many missionar- ies and Chinese Christians lost their lives. On their return to China, Dr. and Mrs. Lagerquist were sent to Lao-ho-kow, Hupeh province to open up a station, they remained there for many years. In 1905, Clarence was sent to the C.I.M. boarding school at Chefoo, Shantung province, on the coast about 1500 miles away, where his older brother and sis- ter had preceeded him. After this, family reunions averaged about one or two weeks every other year at Christmas due to the length of time for travelling. He was at Chefoo for the next ten years. Famous Fellow Students Golden Lion $100 17 Numbers Called Modern Quarters The change with Mr. Pearson's appointment to the managership has already proven to be a popu- lar one and his many friends will .wish him a long stay and every success. Mr. Pearson has therefore watched it grow from nothing, as he himself deScribes it. He en- joys the work and likes to assocâ€" iate with people. He also loves children and every weekend takes many of the neighborhood child- ren for drives into the country. Whenever an opportunity occurs for him to give the children a treat he does so. Children always love animals and if there are any to be seen anywhere Gordon is always ready to take the children along. Popular Appointment Vaughan Township School Area Board Nominations Nov. 16 MR.

The Lagerquists s‘ay they were working under a handicap from the start with the premises at 93 Yonge St. They always planned to make the necessary alterations the town from the start and wish- ed he could settle here. Christmas Rush Decision Clarence had first met his wife when he was choir leader of a Baptist Church. and Irene was the pianist. Both being enthus- iastic photographers. it was not long before friendship matured into love and marriage. Irene has taken some very fine photographs on her own taking charge of the studio, and weddings at various times. Mrs. Lagerquist's parents came from Plymouth, England. Her father was for years with the Royal Marines, and when he re- tired from the service emigrated to the land of opportunity, so many of his friends had told him about. He also wanted to give his three daughters a better chance in life than he thought they would have in the 01d country. At the time of the move to Canada, Ir- ene was 14 years old. She con- tinued her education in Canada, and attended business college, and obtained a position with the Toronto Hydro. Modernlzed Studio His wife recalls that it was right in the middle of the Christ- mas rush that Clarence returned from a visit to the Hill, that he had at last located just the right premises for business, which they purchased in 1954.
