Let’s face it fel- lows, the ladies are more demand- ing than we are and the industry is hustling to mee’c 'their wanrts. This is the prime reason North American‘ cars have always led the field in “LR-3°” style, comlfocrt and reliability over their European coumer- parts where feminine influence is less pronounced. A recent survey reveals that eight out of ten women drive and that 48 percent or them drive every day. Ninety percent take the car out at least once a week. Forty three percent buy the gasoline for the family car and about the same percentage have the service work done. Comparative accident records show they are as equally com- petent drivens as men, despite the fact that superior male chuckles may still be heard over those female driver jokes. (“Ours is the only house in town with dented trees - my wife drives") Modern cars look smarter and Suffer from far fewer mainten- ance problems than automobiles did years ago and one of the reasons is women.

(By Margaret McLean) Red roses and rubies were the order of the day on Thursday, October 12th when 205 people dropped in at 12 Idleswift Av- enue, Thornhiill to congratulatel Mr. and Mrs. E. Roy Keffer on their 40th wedding anniversary. The 40 red roses were Mr. Kef- fer’s gift to his wife to com- memorate the occasion and the rubies were in the dinner rings. ‘received by the Keffers from ltheir children. l Mr. and Mrs. Keffer were married on October 12th, 1921‘ in Zion Lutheran Church, Maple,‘ and although the church had‘ then been in existence some 60 years, they were the first couple married in it, as prior to that time it was evidently not the style to have church weddings. The ceremonv was performed by the late Rev. P. ,tea, The Keffer (Photo by David Barbour) S. Baringer. Groomsman at the ceremony of 40 years ago was Mr. Keffer’s twin brother Ells- worth Keffer while the brides- maid was the bride’s sister who subsequently became Mrs. Ells- worth Keffer. The Ellsworth Keffers, now of Markham were in attendance at last week’s celebration. Their three daugh- ters, Mrs. Murray Pipher (Iso- bel) Miss Betty-Lu and Miss Beverley Keffer helped serve along with the three daughters 'of the celebrants, Mrs. Leonard Klinck (Myrtle), Mrs. Ross W‘hitelaw (Aileen) and Mrs. Earl Davidson (June). Mr. and Mrs. Keffer’s son, Donald H. Keffer of Keswick ‘was also on hand to offer his congratulations, as well as the Keffers‘ five grandchildren. Pouring tea were Mrs. Elmo Snider of Richmond Hill, Mrs. YRoland Keffer of Maple (both ‘of whom were married the same year as the Keffers), Mrs. Wil- fred Ke-ffer of Maple, Mrs. Ethel Woods of Maple, Mrs. Elmer Hadwin of King City and Mrs. William Orr of Victoria Square, all life time friends of the couple. The tea and clean cups were kept flowing by Mrs. William Young and Mrs. Dudley Ward. The Keffers are descendants of a pioneer family who came from Pennsylvania in 1806 and settled on Keele Street on the ,site of the Zion Lutheran ,Church. The land for the church was donated by Jacob K-effer. Roy Keifer is the son of the 'late Mr. and Mrs. T. A. Keffer and was born and went to school at Edgeley. Mrs. Keffer, the former Vera Downey, was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James As evidence that people to- day are living longer, the as- sessor's figures revealed that there are 679 Markham Town- ship residents seventy years of age and over. The largest age bracket is from 20 to 59, with a total of 6,681 in this category. The pre-school population, those three years and under, number 1,034. The largest other age group is that of those 10 to 13 years. and here there are 1,145. Residential Climbing Total assessment in the town- ship presently stands at $18,060,837. made up as follows: Ward 1, $6,310,620; Ward 2, $6,964,860; and Ward 3, $4,785,- 357. All these figures represent a gain over 1960 of $1,553,011.- 18. Of this amount residential assessment showed by far the greatest increase â€"â€" 48.46%: Tififfi-eight per cent of the assessment is residential.

He added that the assessing department would require addit- ional help next year it building continues at the same tempo.

FULLCARDTOGO JACKPOT NUMBERS CALLED Among those who came to offer their congratulations to the Keffers were many from the immediate vicinity and from INewmarket, TOronto, Keswick, Maple, Wood-bridge and Schom- berg. Mrs. Secord Harwick, whose late husband played the music at the wedding. travelled from Beamsville to be with the Keffers. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Young and Mr. and Mrs. John Young attended from Philadel- phia. [was donated by Jacob K-effer. JRoy Keifer is the son of the 'late Mr. and Mrs. T. A. Keffe'r ‘and was born and went to school 1at Edgeley. Mrs. Keffer, the former Vera Downey, was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Downey. Born at Bolton, Mrs. Downey moved to Maple at the ‘age of five and she and Mr. Keffer went to Sunday School together as children. Facing with some amazement a 20th anniversary this week herself, your reporter asked Mrs. Keffer, hopefully. if the first twenty years were the hard- est. “Oh yes. I think so" replied Mrs. Ketter. “After that you get used to each other." Both Mr. and Mrs. Keffer are keenly conscious of the great changes in the district since their yowth. Mrs. Kefier recalls that she drove a ,horse and buggy to Richmond Hill to at- tend high school there, stabling the horse for the day and going down to feed it each lunchtime. In the winter, however, the trip from Maple to Richmond Hill was considered too arduous to be taken every day, and she boarded in Richmond Hill. Following their marriage, the Keffers farmed on Lot 13, Con- cession 4, just across from Zion Church, for 23 years. They then moved up two farms, and farm- ed on Lots 14 and 15 for the next 15 years, moving to Thorn- hill just a year ago. Mr. Keffer still farms 50 acres on Keele Street however, and finds that with the help of a combine he can keep this acreage in wheat by himself quite comfortably. Mrs. Keffer keeps herself busy with her family and grandâ€" children, and both she and her husband are active in Zion Lu- theran Church. Mrs. Keffer received her guests wearing a gown of wine silk velvet and a corsage of white baby mums and red rose buds. Along with the red roses. the table was decorated with bronze and yellow mums and several other bouquets sent by well-wishers, while a large wed- ding cake graced the buffet. 7 The tea and clean cups were kept flowing by Mrs William Young and Mrs. Dudley Ward.
