Elmer Orr will be one of the local men in the contest and also Mr. Grove of Stou-fifville. The number of grass fires in the area has been on the wane for the past few weeks which according to local fire depart- ment of-ficials, could indicate that the peak of the grass fire season, which saw the busiest month in years for local de- partments has been reached. Richmond Hill Fire Chief Alf Stonig said recently that the reason the number of grass fires had dropped was because the grass was green in most places ‘and therefore would not burn as readily. Richmond Hill Fire Depart- ment dealt with only seven grass fires since last Thursday as compared to a few weeks ago when that many blazes broke out in a day. Four of these files were in the Hill and the other three occurred in Markham Township. One house fire, which caused about $900 damage, broke out Monday. (Continued from page 1) law" 99, “againgt” 78.” The late William Harrison, one of Richmond Hill's early reeves and a most outstanding citizen writing in “The Liberal" February 22nd, 1906, following the vote said the local option victory was the culmination of fifty years of effort on the part fof those who were fighting the ‘evils of intemper-ance. He said ‘when he first knew Richmond Hill in 1856 there were six ho- tels and six grocery stores with- in a distance of a mile and a \quarter and all sold whiskey. Saturday May 19th. Mr. Harrison pointed out that to maintain the supply in these busy liquor selling establish- ments there was a distillery in the west end of town which kept its fires burning night and day. He recalled that when he first knew Richmond Hill no barn raising, logging bee, birth, wedding, or funeral could be held without intoxicating liquor being one of the indispensable features. In the passing of the years he said the fires at the local distillery went out and hotels imported their supplies from larger industrial centres. Grass Fire Season Reaches Peak After "Busiest Month In Years" Old Files Tell Story â€" The first fruits of the Tem- perance Societies campaign was the abolition of what was known as “shop licences”. Their cam- paign to drive liquor out of the grocery stores was met by the argument that it would be im- possible to run a store success- fully without whiskey for sale. By Margaret I.

Although two of those charged had permits ob- tained from the township to light fires, they have been charg- ed for failing to abide by the by-lvaw as a result of their fires getting out of control. Some of those charged have also been changed with burning rubbish in an unapproved waste burner. The township by-law states that the burner must be covered. Markham Township Fire De- partment has had a total of 56 grass fires in April with 14 of these occurring since last Mon- day. Alflhough many of the fires covered a large area, very little actual propenty damage was done. Six of the people respon- sible for setting the fires have been charged and will appear in court in the near future. There were fiLetters to the Editor” in 'those days too. A correspondent argued against local option on the grounds that “our loss in revenue not only from the return of licences but in village trading by outsiders who will fail to come here be- cause of the lack of accommo- dation. Is it right to close up the only home for the weary traveller who comes this way?" Another opponent of local option in 1996 had om; forgo- ment not heard in 1962. In a letter to the editor he said, “since there are watermg troughs for horses along the road, there should be places ‘where a man could get a drink". So far as we could find no one in 1906 brought forward :he argument to make Richmond Hill a convention centre. A number of poems by P. L. Grant were a feature of the temperance campaign. A verse of one follows: Why halt or hesitate which side to take? Would you abet the wrong and right forsake? Think of your influence, what men would say, If you should fail to vote, just as you pray. Frequent reference is made to “illicit selling". No mention is made of bootlegging. As far as we can ascertain there was only one citizen who voted in 1906 and also cast a ballot last Saturday. He was Dr. R. L. Langstaff, esteemed senior citizen who started the practice of medicine here in 1891. He won his vote in 1906. but lost it in 1962. And so time rolls on, and an- other chapter was written Sat- urday in another of Richmond Hill's battles with John Barley- corn. Most of those who fought the fight for the abolition of the bar here in 1906 have passed on. The span of fifty-six years has wrought many changes in Rich- mond Hill and many more will come in the challenging years ahead. It was most interesting lfor us to scan the pages of our files to review the local option contests through the passing years. In days to come other bands will leaf through these pages to see how we voted on April 28th, 1962. entries".

Between 40 and 50 people are employed and during the winter, they repair and refurbish the equipment, while Mr. March arranges his bookings. The March Shows have 15 different rides alto- gether, and also operate a go- cart track at the farm.
