By Mona Robertson For a man who went into “retirement” eight years ago, “because he didn’t want to leave it off until he was too old to enjoy it,” Lawson Mumberson, Councillor for, ‘Ward Two, Markham Township, leads an extremely busy life, having spent the past four years on township council, where he is Chairman of the Police Committee and Chain; man of the Roads Committee, as well as being on the Water; and Sanitation, and Fire committees. President of the Vic-l toria Square Lions Club this year, he has also been Sundayv‘ School teacher to the young people of Victoria Square United Church over the past five years, but this year, with his additional work, he has had to curtail his teaching slightly, and says he 5 now “just an assistant teacher." Retired Police Officer Leads Interesting Life Mrs. Mumberson has also won a place in many hearts for her charm and interest in the people she associates with, and her in- terest is well-founded, for she was born and raised just across th- road from her present home, Both husband and wife are! well-liked in their communityi and Mr. Mumberson is known for the great contribution he has given to municipal government in Markham township, particu- larly his guidance in the Mark- ham Police Department, where a teletype â€" the only one outsidel Iof Metro which is tied directly! with the large Metro police deâ€"l partmentâ€"was installed through’ his knowledge of vital require-J ments needed to make Markham!

His Wife, Florence, is the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Glover and her brother, Roy, is County Road Foreman in the Markham area. Mrs. Mumberson is also an ac- tive worker in the community, being Sunday School teacher for a group of teenage girls; imme- diate past president of the Vic- toria Square United Church WA. and former secretary of York Presbytery.

We trust the journey was a pleasant one, the weather this year has been the best in many years. Mr. and Mrs. H.

Mr. Johnson Sr. is in critical condi- tion in Sunnybrook hospital hav- ing suffered a stroke last Fri- day. Our sympathy goes out to the family. Grandma Johnson is well known to many of us be- cause she has spent much of her time in this subdivision, although her home is in the city.

Both Country Born The house itself, which has been remodelled from cellar to attic, presents an authentic, old- fashioned charm which is delight- fully peaceful and serene. from its outside walls of dark-stained wood, to its inner walls of light- coloured knotty pine and its open fireplace in the living room in which a log fire burned cheer- fully before us, dispensing the gloom of autumn which lay out- of-doors. And we knew right then and there why he had chosen to live in Markham Township, rath- er than follow the lead of 27 other officer-friends who have settled in California following re- tirement. Here was a man, who, during his police work had visitâ€" ed nearly every city on the North When we visited the Mumber- son’s home last week we were told, “Look for the cedar hedge, just before Don Mills Road." And what a beautiful work of man and nature that hedge is, even though it is ninety years old. and how much protection it affords from bitter winter winds, as well as deadening the traffic sounds from the nearby highway. i The house he left, as was, until he finally retired to the country in ’52, but other work on the land commenced with his origi- nal purchase, and hundreds of trees, including 350 fruit and dozens of pines, were planted by him on weekends ‘off duty.’ Dur- ing one summer holiday he built the field-stone fence along the Markham Road just in front of the old cottage â€"- which has now been entirely remodelled and made into a gracious and pictur- esque country home. i How then did he come to settle down to retirement in Markham Township? Well for one thing, he had married a Markham town- ship girl, Florence Glover of Vic- toria Square, and for another, he had planned his retirement, and where he would spend it, 'way back in 1936. But it was ’not until 1943 that: he bought his first piece of land at Victoria Square and that was seven-eighths of an acre what is now 17th Avenue and Don Mills Road. By 1949 he ended up with 100 acres, all in the one parcel â€" and a house that was, at that time 119 years old. Being the type of man good cops are made of, Lawson Mum- berson rose from the rank of constable at Court Street Station in Toronto, up through the ranks to the title of Acting Detective in 1928. During the war years he was made a Sergeant of Detec- tives, with 134 men under his command and direction, and in 1949 he was promoted to the rank of Inspector in charge of the 11th Div., Toronto. Chose Place to Retire 24 Yrs Ago “That's correct,” the outhful constable said, “but I ha 9 seen you, and your car, a number of times in this area.” In one particular case. he was present when a man reported his car missing â€" but too agitated and excited over his loss to re- member his own license number â€"â€" P.C. Mumberson spoke up and systematically rhymed off the number as the man exclaimed, “But you don't even know my name!" A remarkably keen man, with a logical and analytical mind, Lawson Mumberson never forgets a face nor fails to connect it with circumstances. For instance: as a young police constable on the Toronto force. he received a merit mark for his perceptibility regarding car license numbers for hundreds of cars. a great deal to circumvent and prevent juvenile delinquency, as well as apprehending criminals and bringing them to justice, for the good of humanity. continent, yet he was to settle down finally 3, because of the “atmo- STOUFFVILLE â€" The village’s “little red truck,” now 26 years old. has been retained by the town fathers in a close vote.

Promptly at seven o'clock with the singing of “The Queen" and “0 Canada” we sat down to a very delicious din- ner prepared by the girls of this year’s grade eight. Immediately after the graduation ceremony took place. Mr. Miller (the pres- ident of Powell Road Home & School) proposed a toast to the graduates. This was replied to by Judy Grimshaw. Mr. R. Colvin the past principal was introduc- ed, Mr. M. Roberts the present principal and finally Rev. Will- iam Askew religious education instructor who addressed the graduates. His address was brief concise and to the point. He said “I hope this moment of thrilling attainment is just the first of many graduations, before you, find your vocations." He urged them not to become drifters and passed on three words he hoped they would take with them, first was CONCERN, - for people not material things, second was DARE, that was a challenge to be different not just to follow got they could never learn every- thing, so keep ever alive and present the spirit to learn. Mr. Griffiths then presented the cit- izenship trophy to James Hayes. Mr. Sands was called upon and gave a brief address. "The suc- cess of your future“ he said “de- pends on your doing an A.1. job every time you are called upon no matter how trivial it may be.” A miniature trophy was awarded to Jimmy to keep. This was given by the Powell Road Home and School Association. Trustee Mrs. Mona Robertson, Vice-Ohairman of the new Township School Area of Vaughan was introduced. She expressed her pleasure at being present and hopes all the little problems confronting the nery formed School Area can be ironed out satisfactorily.

We Deliver Toronto and Surrounding Districts The meeting closed with a tea at which the Librarians were guests of the Richmond Hill Pub- lic Library Board. Richmond Hill’s Library was much admired by the visitors and many who are planning buildings were enthus- iastic about its features.

Mrs. Nellie Little and Mrs. Wilson of Newmarket, and Mrs. A. E.

He stated that he had found that in one large library in Ontario ten books which he had selected from a banned books list were not available to the public. Most of the librarians present vehemently denied any practice of censorship in their libraries and maintained that books were chosen on lit- erary merit and reader interest. which he considered to be educa- tion. The librarian on the‘panel answered Mr. Hammond’s chal- lenge by asserting that libraries were vitally concerned with edu- cation for all. Much discussion from the floor brought forth op- inions from librarians in all sizes of communities who presented their view and problems about this matter.
