Just Wait until next Saturday when Mr. Ho_u1t puts his title up for grabs and see how many fan club members are present com- plete with banner. At the moment there is talk of chartering a bus to transport fans to the contest. Fred Sgambatti never worked a match like this one promises to be. (Continued from page 9) hit for 424.

Norm Heintzman received an award for rolling the high single game in the qualifying round with a very nifty 376 effort.

After one week‘s play-off action, the Tail Enders, captained by Ida Madlll, are leading the champion- ship race. The Tail Enders are only 9 pins ahead of the Lucky Strikes and the league champion- ship hinges on the results of the final day's rplny. - .._,, In consolation play Denise Mc- Donald's Alley Cats are leading Gertrude Bradley's Alley Oops by a very comfortable 121 pin margin.

Close behind, and winning place money was Mabel H-aviland at the 861 mark. while third spot went to Tommy Lemperg thh 725 even. No bowler won the six strike jackpot and next week this pot will be worth juste twice as much. It should be really worthwhile going for. ABC Major Davis and Day -won the final series, ending with 78 points on the board. Second spot went 'to ABC No. 3 with 72 points and Hall's Fuel Oils were third with 70 points. Risi Stone ended up in fourth position with 63 points, and ABC No. 1 and Turnbull Groceries tied at the 62 point level.

Hall. The comparatively unknown settlement has been described on several occasions by “The Libâ€" eral’s" News Editor F. J. Picking in articles in the newspaper and on the air. It was established in 1798 following the French Revo- lution. Escapees from the revolu- tionists who had managed to es- cape to England included Roman Catholic priests and many nobles. Their maintenance i. England. where a special tax was levied to provide for their upkeep. be- came a problem. Formed Militia ‘What isvthe De Puisaye Settle- ment?" a number' of local resi- dents have asked “The Liberal" following the erection of signs on Yonge Street at Jefferson pointing towards an area east of Yonge Street in that vicinity. The British government pro- posed to form these emigres into regiments of militia and to ration and maintain them until they be- came established on free land grants in Upper Canada. Land grants in Gwillimbury and Whit- church townships, at that time remote, dense wil-dland, were set aside. It was decided to place a townsite for the Frenchmen on both sides of Yonge Street ex- tending eleven lots north from Elgin Mills. The spot where Larry Folliott’s Summit View Restaur- ant stands is generally regarded as having been the centre of the settlement. The government of the {lay felt that the location had a s rategic purpose. With York, now Toronto, laying exposed to a surprise at- tack by northern Indians. the Frenchmen would provide a shield. A Count In Charge General Joseph Genevieve, Comte De Puisaye, was in charge of the expedition, most of whose members were former French of- ficers of high rank and aristo- crats who had escaped the guillo- tine. They were first lodged at Kingston. Heading an expedition of. fifteen men, De Puisaye set off to examine the area chosen for his settlement. The survey of the townsite, called Windham, was completed in January, 1799. The Frenchmen began cutting logs and building cabins. De Puisaye decided that the location was an unsuitable one and ad- vised authorities that the roads in the area “would be unfit for vehicles for ages to come.” He took no further part in the Yonge Street adventure and, after liv- ing at Niagara, returned to Eng- land in 1803. Remainder Failed The soft-handed French aristo- crats who were left behind led a miserable life. Completely unused to physical labour, soft in every way, they were totally unfitted to meet the challenge of pioneering New De Puisaye Settlement Signs Recall Day 01" Pioneer Frenchmen There won’t be one of those black boxes sitting a few feet away from it to betray the fact that a radar speed trap is in op- eration.

Boiled down, it amounts to this. Markham township, 3 short time ago, decided to purchase the new type radar speed indicator for the local gendarmerie. It is now in operation. It’s a double-dealing sneak. By simply turning the in- dicator around the policeman in the car can register the speed of When' in" Markham township. beware of an innocent-looking black car sitting beside the road. that is, if you are the type who exceeds the speed limit. a car which is coming iowards him or which is coming up from the rear. It can pick up a car five or six hundred feet away or a truck at a considerably greater distance. And, not having to pick up cables and boxes from the roadside, the policeman in the car can make an instantaneous getaway.

On the restoration of the French monamhy in 1815 they returned to the French court. The only one of the original party to remain was Laurent Quetton St. George, who became a successful merchandiser. He later went back to France and was made a Chevalier. His son Henri returned to York County and resided at his palatial estate at Glen Lonely at Lake Wilcox. Markham Council Queries Revenue Left By Hunters Information on the revenue deâ€" rived from the sale of licences in the township will guide members of Markham Township Council at their meeting next week. when they will reach a decision as to the number of young pheasants they will purchase this year. After calling for tenders for the 1961 supply of the birds. council- lors learned that the Department of Lands and Forests would like them to handle birds up to six- teen weeks of age. Deputy Reeve Lawson Mumber- son questioned the wisdom of the suggestion. The cost of raising birds, most of Iwhich would never reach the hunting stage, was con-V siderable. Council received three tenders for pheasant poults. with the most favourable price running around $1 each at ten weeks. The average amount of revenue from both resident and non-resident hunters accruing to the township is to be ascertained before a de- cision is made.
