Preserve Your House History With all the new homes spring- ing up in the area these past few years, how many home owners ever thought. about starting a his- tory of their house? When some of our older buildings are dem- olished. local historians are apt to be dismayed, in some cases, by the lack of early historical in- formation about the house. When day-to-day activities are not re- corded, many important occur- rences are likely to be lost for all time. Old Barns Last week we told you about the fire that destroyed the barn on the former Broadbelt farm. This week, the barn on the neighbouring farm. the fonmer Anderson farm, was dismantled and the beams. along with other pants of the building will be used to restore other structures in the Pioneer Village. r This area was known for its excellent stands of white pine and hardwbod before the mid 1850’s after which they disap- peared with txhe clearing of the land. The barn which was 'built in 1880 by James Brown. was con- structed out of hardwood taken from a barn that was erected in 1835. Mr. Don Mathieson of Cairngorm Farm, Woodbridge, was the lucky winner of a ton of feed in a contest conducted by Cyanamid of Canada. This was the Shellmaker York County Contest for the first part of the summer. The sec- ond contest is now under way. Congratulating the winner is George Boeyenga, Man- ager of Maple Feed Mill, Maple, where Mr. Mathieson is a customer. In this connection, Mrs. R. C.

Warnes that zon- ing changes he made to obviate the context of environment. the safety hazards for Hope school children. Mr. Warnes said the M 4 category placed on the Keele Street property. just south of Hope Public School. and which permits the continuation of a . ave] pit and quarry business there. was opposed by the Vaughan Area Public School Board. and preferred that the land, which is on Lot 28. be term~ ed agricultural. The board said this was not a simple question. The owners had made a con- siderable investment in the gra- vel pit business and at the same time the township did not think it should be asked to do battle on the matter. In short, the M 4 zoning would prevail and the school board would be expect- ed to take measures to control the safety-factor problem.
