It’s pos- sible his mind went back 34 years ago when he was acclaim- ed first deputy-reeve. Because in that municipal election (Jan- uary 3, 1927) the victorious reeve, George Kellam, garnered 835 votes. The January 6, 1927 issue of "The Liberal" reported: Last December Vaughan Townshlp Council vote records were smashed left and right Reeve A. H. Rutherford receiv- ed an all-time high for that office. just a few less than 2,- 400. Deputy-Reeve Jesse Bry- son was given a staggering total of 3,200. And James H. Robson, who made an unsuccessful bid to get back on council. chalked up 1,100. is the largest vote polled for reeve during the past 28 years that he has been clerk of the municipality." Last year Mr. Robson's husky vote, big though it was. merely relegated him to the “also ran” column. Times change! In those days the young blades of the Hill and district squired their ladies to the Capitol Theatre, Yonge and Castlefield, Toronto. where in the month of January. 1927.

Thirty-five years ago, parents of the generation born that year were given a lesson in under- statement. An editorial, sum- ming up the year 1926. said in part: “As a nation Canada can look back upon 1926 with grati- tude and pleasure. There was nothing of very great moment to jar the sensibilities out its people . . . all told Canada had a wonderful harvest, ade- quate markets and excellent prices."

The rest of the "Liberal" announcement speaks so highly of his curling ability the reader could have been justified in deciding that the shortest route to lucrative government posts was via a broom rather than a brain.

Trotter: “Why, my dear fellow, I had forgotten all about lt. Sorry it troubled you." On page 6 of this venerable issue the detective-story addict will find a brief report of an unsolved murder. “W. H. Glen- denin, a telegraph operator, was found dead at his desk in the railway station at Browne, Pa., shortly after 7 p.m., Novem- ber 26 (1903). At 6:50 p.m., the operator at Oak Grove, Pa., also of the York Central Railway. received this message from Glendenin: 'Send switch engine quick for me, I am being mur- dered by . . . .' The wire opened and not another word came. Near Glendenin, whose head had been crushed, lay a bloody spike maul. His watch and money were missing. No ltrace of the murderer has been found." And.

They are deprived of the use of their legs and thighs, these being withered and stunted, and push themselves along in primi- tive wooden carts with wooden wheels. which they propel by means of a flat iron-shaped block of wood in either hand." Population In the same issue we are in- formed that the population of Greater London was then ap- proximately 6% million. Today it exceeds 12 million, a graphic dllustratlon or! the "exploding" ‘agipulatlon of the world. t The “share the wealth” .phil- osophy was not as widespread some 50 years ago as it is to- day, as this story will show. ‘ Then, as now, people were able, ready and willing to de- vise means of spending another's money. To bring imagination lto bear, the distribution of Mr. Carnegie's millions was attempt- ed, with the following results: Water the western (American) prairies and give poor peonle three acres and a cow; build a 3,000-mile ship canal across the US. from the Atlantic to the Pacific; provide habitual drink- ers with money to start anew; buy machines to enable blind persons to make brooms for sale. Mr. Carnegie apparently looked into these and many other hare-brained schemes and finally concluded his libraries were as good as any idea: EMALE g HELP E WANTED 1 The meeting was broken into three teams with Cecil Williams planning board member, chair: man of one team and Councillor Margaret Southwell acting as recorder. Anobher team was chaired by Harold Sanderson, re- development committee mem- ber, with A1 Rice recorder. The third team was headed by Councillor John MacDiaI-mld with Joe Parisi as recorder. Criticisms Varied Those present were encour- aged to relate their “pet beefs” relating to the conditions of the area. One of the teams. mostly residents. felt one of the pro- blems was that there were too many businesses of the same type on the street. The question of snow removal was discussed as was the general un‘wttractiveness of many of the buildings on the street. The The second in a series of four redevalopment meetings between property owners, ten- ants and residents of the Yonge Street business area of Rich- mond Hill was held Tuesd-axy. Purpose of these meetings is to give a chance for everyone in the downtown area of the Hill a chance to assist the Yonge Street situation. , Tuesday’s meeting brought out about 28 people, a number of them residents, from the area between Lorne and Arn- old Streebs to Markham Road. The main problem on Yonge Street to-day is it was felt, the changing conditions and the lack of business as a result. Most agreed that the best solution to the problem was ‘to clean up the area.

The problem in getting from one side of Yonge Street to the other as a result of heavy traffic was also said to be, a reason for a dropping off of business in the area. Traffic lights at the corner of Yonge and Arnold Streets were sugâ€" gested as a solution to this problem. During the discussion on the general appearance of Yonge Street which, it was agreed, was very bad in some cases, it was noted that the trash barrels on each corner, lurpposedly to be med for the beautification of the street. were in themselves an‘ unsightly fixture in the area. ,It was generally felt among the businessmen that they did not want any control on signs which would make them all one shape or size or position them in the same place on every store.
