In .1901 there were 85 members, in 1960 there are 517. with 17 branches and one Junior. The farmers ins- titute grew rapidly and the wo- men went to their meeting. The men got tired of listening to re- citations and solos. they suggest- ed women should have Institutes of their own. The motto “For Home and Country" was chosen by Stoney Creek Inst. in 1902, and the badge of royal blue and gold car- ries the motto. In those years the Institute members worked hard to do their part in canning, sew- ing, knitting and raising money for charity funds. The District have sponsored many projects such as; the furnishing of a two cot room at the East General Hos- pital in 1928 and 1958 they did. the same at Scarboro Hospital. They have helped send a crip- pled boy to camp from the Coun- ty and a scholarship to 3 4H- Club member. Branches have contributed to Dean House. Thornhaven School, High School Prizes and Libraries. One hundred and eighty mem- bers and friends set down to the luncheon, which was the high- light of the day. The tables look- ed lovely with the blue and gold colors predominating. The special guests at the head table includ- ed the Pres. Mrs. McCowan and the Secretary.Mrs. Williamson, Miss Lulu Reynolds the organizer of the District in 1900 and Mrs. L.

Dr. Robert King, Medical Offi- cer of Health for York County, reports serious hazards to com- munity health resulting from the accumulation of raw sewage on the surface of the ground over- lying septic tank disposal sys- tems in many parts of the county has brought into focus the com tinuing inadequacy of the septic tank disposal system for mass housing development. In most cases the properties involved are small or crowded with bulldings. The problem arises in both old and new housing areas. ference was given by Mrs. Thompson, and ‘the Federation of Agriculture by Mrs. D. J. Par- sons, Victoria Square. ' The villages of Stouffville, Markham, Sutton and Wood- bridge are experiencing an ag- gravation of the old septic tank problem apparently because of the excessive rainfall in recent weeks causing saturation of the soil normally expected to absorb the sewagefrom the septic tanks. Mrs. C. Hooper conducted the “In Memoriam” for former mem- Stouffville and Markham vil- lages are making available mun- icipal sewerage systems for most of their residents. Other not so fortunate areas must continue to plod along with practically in- soluble septic tank problems un- til sewers become available in the future. Many hours of health unit lu- spector's time in recent weeks has been spent in investigation of 64 complaints regarding mal- functioning septic tanks. Owners of the offending properties are usually willing and glad to make connections to municipal sewer; if they are available. In the village of Stouffville, two local residents have been convicted in magistrate’s court for failure to comply with or- ders to correct their septic tank systems.

The Acremans visited in Cm- emee and Peterboro last week and found conditions there. as far as weather is concerned ra- ther contradictory. Foliage on trees was very much in advance of Richmond Hill, most blooming bulbs Were over, but still there was almost no grain in, nor were any fields looking fit to work. In almost a week there was no let up for more than an hour at a time in the rain.

Fire A small buzz of excitement took place in Headford at supper time on Thursday last. when one room upstairs in the Calder home Was damaged by fire, cause not entirely known. Great relief was felt that no one was injured in any way, but loss is fairly severe for the small extent of the fire. The Calder family spent that night with the Harry Burtons. Socials Mrs. H.

During the period Septem- ber 1, 1959 to March 31, 1980 only 96 fox were presented for bounty as compared to the pre- vious year’s total of 1700 boun- tiers paid._ It is evident that the fox pop. ulation has decreased sharply re- sulting from the previous heavy rabies incidence.
