Chief of Police Jim Davidson of Vaughan reported this week that a police case which actually started April 7 was brought to an end in the June 6 Magistrate's Court in Newmarket when 29- year-old Marshall Hall of Etobi- coke paid a $50 fine for assault- ing 16-year-old Allan Blackburn of Richvale. According to police, Hall assaulted Blackburn follow- ing a traffic argument on Yonge- burst Avenue, Richvale. He was picked ‘up on April 27, 20 days after the assault took place, fol- lowing the lodging of a complaint. Pop Machine Thefts Vaughan Township Council has turned thumbs down on a request by the Maple Glen Subdivision developers (Greenstein and Freedman, Toronto) that they be allowed to proceed with work since the Ontario Water Resour- ces Commission had indicated verbal approval of its sewage plan. Council said in effect: “Ab- solutely not." Reeve John Perry said that council’s experience with the OWRC in the matter of clear- ance letters was not good. “We’ve got to get me commission’s let- ter stating that the sewage plan han been officially approved," he sal . . developers felt that council should go along with the OWRC because a letter would be forthcoming soon. Council was adamant in its stand. As of now the letter still had not been received by council. Be- cause the peak building season is rapidly being approached, and because all technicalities involv- ing a subdivision agreement be- tween the township and the de- velopers have nbt been ironed out, it is felt that work on the subdivision will hardly get under- way this year. Nome nn nor The proposed subdivision is to be north-west of Maple, west of Keele Street. J. D. Kenzie, real estate agent, appearing for the Chief Davidson said that town- ship police have received many complaints recently from mer- chants whose outside pop ma- chines have been'tampered with. The Chief suggests that the trier. Mr. Rose gave it as his opinion that the Polaroid Draw has help- ed him to increase his business. He said ‘his business was up con- siderably over this period last year, adding: “I know that the draw has definitely contributed.” Assault On Boy Gets Etobicoke MansA $50.

Police say that on his own request, Mullock was taken to Toronto General Hospital and accident occurred when the go- kart’s steering mechanism failed and the vehicle was hurtled against one at the and wall; Mr. Rose said: “I nearly sank through the floor when informed over the telephone that Mr. Mar- kle and I were the Winners of two cameras." He told “The Lib- eral,” “Never thought I’d win. It just: goes to show one should not presume on the ways of fate." Commenting om Mr. Markle’s win he said: ‘It’s a happy coinci- dence, you know, because Les coached in my place during my absence in Florida back in 1958. That year he took the H. J. Mills’ OMHA Rams into the finals.” Lawrence (Laurie) Rose, pro- prietor of the Rose Garden Sup- plies and Flower Shop in Rich- vale who, along with Les Markle of 15 Westwood Lane N. also of Richvale, was a joint winner of “The Liberal’s” June Polaroid Draw, found it hard to believe he had‘won.

'aughan Newspaper Record ’I‘l e; ounct A veritable rainbow of color greets the visitors. and they come in droves, thousands of them dur- ing the average season. A week ago last Sunday. for example, the Palmers were hosts to some 200 persons who had come far and wide. They included casual ad~ mirers, the curious. tourists, hob- byists and specialists who came to look, exclaim, buy or exchange specimens of this beautiful flower. The one-acre plot given over to the vari-colored, vari-type iris is part of a ten-acre piece of land set" amid giant maples, cut-leaf weeping birch and blue spruce. On the ten acres there also is more than one acre given over to well ended lawn and there are generous expanses of garden and orchard land. “A hobby that outgrew itself," pretty well sums up the almost full-time work of attending to hundreds of varieties of colorful iris by the Palger family of RR. 3, King. But the first thing that rivets attention is the sea of color from the rows upon rows of iris inter-~ spaced with shrubs, peonies and delphiniums. The ‘colors range from shellâ€" pinks through apricot to the deepest blues, yellows, reds white and blacks. The Palmers are proud of ‘the fact they have developed new true pinks ‘and blues and consider the time, money and effort spent to do this as a small enough payment. The investment has borne rich fruit. ‘ The report of the York Manor Commission to York County Council showed that the general health of the 37 male and 33 female residents is generally good and that the Manor has been free from epidemics. During May, all residents were given free eye examination while a general x-ray of every resident and staff member will be undertaken on June 21. Sanitary conditions were reported excellent and re‘gular health, safety and fire inspections are being carried out smoothly. Carruthers, expressed satisfac- tion with conditions at the Manor and the standard of care of the residents. Tobacco is provided free weekly to those having no means of income. Electric lan- terns are available for use should a power failure occur. Mrs. Clarence Davis, in order to raise money to operate the Tuck Shop, sponsored a progres- sive euch-re party which netted‘ $140.00. Manor Role An excerpt from a memorand- um of the Department of Public Welfare clarifies the role of York Manor. It is provided to care for elderly persons who are unable to care properly for themselves, those who do are not bed-rid- den and those who, when bed- rien, do not require a high con- centration of skilled nursing or laboratory assistance. When this situation arises, the person is then transferred to hospital. At the June session of York County Council the members were invited to inspect the man- or, from 9.30 am. to 11.30 am. Greeting the visitors were mem- bers of the Commission along with Mr. and Mrs. Peter Wilde and the residents. It was inter- esting to know how happy the senior citizens were. The Commission report was presented by Chairman George Richardson, Whjtchurch Town- ship Reeve, Secretary J. L. Smith, York County Clerk, and members W. L. Clark, York County Warden, Mrs. C. Ion, Newmarket, Mr. Water Rate, East Gwillimbury and Mr. F. D. Armstrong. Woodbridge. Current revenues were made up of Old Age Security ($8,279.- 00), Old Age Assistance and pay- ing residents ($1,148.52), and gov~ ernment grants ($11,961.16), whlle the cost to ratepayers from Jan- uary 1 to April 30, 1960 came to $5,745.27. Sale‘ of equipment brought in $69.60. Proceeds of the auction sale of farm imple- ments and feed amounted to $5,364.70. Improvements In a report to the Commission, the supervisor for the Home for the Aged, Department of Public Welfare, i expressed satisfaction that Manor food is attractively served and well prepared. This report noted that the Ladies Aux- iliary is doing excellent work with the residentsA encouraging handicrafts and hobby war]; one afternoon weekly. The ladies also operate the Tuck Shop which opensifor the sam_e period weekly: Mr. Palmer (Bert) said that 20 years ago, about seven years after they settled at their present abode Resident changes since January included one new admission, one discharge and three deaths. Finance The revenue and expenditure report for the year 1960 as of May alst revealed that income and outlay balanced in the total of $27,203.55. The per diem cost for each resident for the year 1959 was $2.79. Under general comments, it was reported that the water sup- ply for domestic and fire-fighting purposes is considered adequate. The Home Physician, Dr. W. L. Under ‘improvements,’ it was noted that major repair work has been held off pending the com- pletion of the new building. The report suggested hat it would be in interest of the County to un- dertake repair of the slate roof. Faulty wiring to the smoke house and garage was corrected and a service installed, fused and grounded. Food Good Finest Iris Collection Grown In The District Senior Citizens In Good Health capacity after coming from Toronto, he and his wife started out with a few blooms. “Gradually our in- terests grew," he mused. “Final- ly we reached the point where we were paying as much as $30.00 for one rizone (the bulb-like plant which sprouts fans which yield the iris), and now there is no telling where the end will he." Mrs. Palmer, a trim, energetic woman, said: “Each year we gave over a little more land to the flowers until before you knew it we had all this land planted for iris. This year too we have changed the arrangement, allow- ing for pathways between the rows.” There are hundreds of varieties and they represent one of the best collections in this province if not in Canada. Little tags iden- tify each, Albert Crouses, Claire Dubois, Emphorbia, Sarah Bern- hardt, Paradise Pink. to mentioh a few. Was it a paying proposition? The Palmers shrugged philosophi- -ally. “Let’s say we don’t lose money,” they explained. “But certainly we don’t show a profit. The purpose of the garden is aethestic rather than financial. We have hundreds of friends every- where because of our iris." MAXWELL HOUSE “We constantly add to our col- lection,” Mrs. Palmer went on. “We import some varieties. Ore- gon offers excellent stalks, for example, and we secure others from hobbyists like ourselves throughout the province.” Mrs. Palmer, the former Flora Reynolds, said that iris was a contagious flower. “Our déughter Sharon, 13, just loves them and is a great help to us.” Another Palmer wise in the ways of the lovely bloom is Bert’s father, R. J. Palmer. Mr. Palmer senior is 81 years old and walks and works like a man 20 years his junior. “I like to watch the sun get up,” he said, his eyes twinkling. “Have to be up at six. I have an idea that flower growing is good for one. Helps one’s appetite, helps one sleep soundly and keeps one sort of even-steven inside.” TULIP Anyone interested in iris should simply drive to Temperanceville and ask for the Palmer's. For flower lovers the trip will more than pay for itself in sheer en- joyment. 29 Yonge St. S.
