13¢. He enquired about mileage of every owner he met and all the figures seemed to average out lbout 23 MPG. But despite the most careful record keeping over a thousand miles, the best figure he could come up with was 17 MPG. When a second thousand mile check failed to raise that figure. he took his problems to his deal- er. ofi’ering to pay for it if the dealer would adjust the motor to "get 23 MPG like the other owners are getting." “You'd only be wasting your money." the dealer replied. "There's only one way to get that mileage and that's the way they do it".

It's I curious trait of human nature that most of us like to ex- aggeraba a little Ibout poor or good mileage. It’s best to add a grain of that proverbial‘ unit to most folk’s testimony on mile- Ige matters. , H you are dissatisfied with your mileage, check It against the official figures and chances are you'll find you're pretty close to normal. Reminds me of a story going around some years back that had more truth than fiction. It con- cerned an economy-minded motorist who set hls‘ sight on gas Iavlngs to the exclusion of all else.

The mill rates quoted are those that apply to the majority of the pro- perties in the township, but there are small individual variations in different ar- eas, such as police villages. The levy for township purposes produces a one mill increase, and both the county and high school levy are up slightly less than one mill. The township levy totals $490,998.79, with $253,376 of this amount to be spent on roads. Last year's township costs were $451,499.27. Secondary school educa- tion with a mill rate of 17.5 will cost the township a total of $444,776.71, an in- crease of $37,687.16 over last year, reflecting increas- ed debentures and operat- ing costs. The public school rate will remain unchanged ‘at za'ki‘mius, w-ith puBlic and separate schools this year gost‘ing the township The county levy is to be $210,908.88, up from $187,- 442.16 last year and will produce a mill rate of 8.3 as against, 7.7 last year. Ea’total of '$602,094.75, as compared to $596,924.80 for last year. An increase of 2.4 mills brings the residential mill rate for Vaughan Township up to 69 mills for 1962. Commercial and industrial rates are up 4.4 mills for a total of 74.3 mills. Total budget for the township will be $1,840,577.47. an in- crease of $147,583.16 over last year. Total assessment is up too, however, to a to- tal of $25,444,188, an inâ€" crease of $1,067,569 over last year. LIMITED :flllulum c1w47 Exhibitors from all districts. including and surrounding Richmond Hill, had prize win- ners and attractive entries in this show. We noticed entries from Nor- val, Bridgeport, Scarboro, Ux- bridge. Brampton, Woodbrldge, Thornhill and Toronto too. And we predict, small boys and girls who visited this exhibit, will be trying to raise rabbits for next year's Fair Day in Richmond Hill. Art Exhibit Welcome Pause Mrs. Howard. only child of the late Mr. and Mrs. Jim Pearson is the sole remaining member of the Pearson family, founded in this district in pioneer days by James Pearson who came out from England on a sailing ship. His son also James. «farmed on lot 27, Yonge St. in Vaughan Township until 1870, when he traded it for lot 38; Yon-ge St, through which Ro- osevelt Drive now runs. James had five children. Four of them pretty Sarah, whose fiance was d owned, Albert whose fiancee died, Wesley and Will, never married, but remained together on this farm until it was solid ‘in 1944. when they bought and ‘moved to a house on Centre St. iThomhill. The fourth son, an- ‘other James, took his bride Ida Mellosh of Cari-ville, to the comfortable farm house at the corner of Yonge and John Sts., in 1896. and it has been the family home ever since. Here the Pearsons daughter Cecile was born, and here they cele- brated their Golden Wedding anniversary. At first Mr. and Mrs. Pearson were tenants, as the Ebans family who owned "the property were reluctant to sell, but in 1921 Mr. Pearson who was a butcher an-d drover, finally acquired the house and 27 acre farm. After the second (Continued from Page 1) Weren’t spray-painted for the occasion either). What a pleasure it was to find the quietness and beauty supplied by the Richmond Hill Art Group, in their most inter- esting Art Exhibit in the south- east wing of the arena. A This talented group of artists study under Otto N. Grebze of Maple, whose painting, “Maple Woods" caught our sun-wearied eyes and took us back to the sunny, yet frosty days of early Spring; as we gazed at the Thornhill Pioneer Family Annual Spring Fair â€" By Doris FitzGerald Articles ranging from anCient farm implements, china, glass and furniture, to a 1951 Plymouth Station Wagon with matching luggage trailer, will be auction- ed by Alvin S. Farmer, at the old Pearson homestead at the corner of Yonge and John Sts., Thornhill, on Sat- urday afternoon, May 26. They represent the excess accumulation of 66 years of family living in one house, augmented by furnishings and effects left by relatives. Such sales have always been popular and well attended country pastimes, but too often, hidden beneath the stir and excitement there is an element of sadness. No tragic circumstances are involved in this instance, but “old timers” feel deep regret that it is virtually a fare- well to a respected family who have been leaders in church and community work, and in musical circles, in the Thornhill area for many years; and a good-bye too to the last vestiges of a picturesque Yonge St. farm. The property was recently sold for undisclosed com- mercial purposes, and Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Howard plan to move to the vicinity of Beeton where their son-in- law and eldest daughter Barbara, Mr. and Mrs. J. Doug- las Wilcox, and their two small boys have a farm. Their other daughter Mary, and her husband, Alister Mathe- son and their three little girls live near Boston, Mass.

WELL ROTTED MANURE TOP SOIL Ordinary We enjoyed >a11 the paintings, but somehow those of “William- son” caught at our imagination and caused us to remember the celebrated, late “Grandma Moses" â€"- particularly after we learned the "Streets" had been painted by “a Mrs. Williamson, who is 71 years old." We won- der if our local artist will at- tain gregter fame, as she con- tinues her art work? Certainly her work, seen last Saturday. was most intriguing and worthy of note. The roomy old clapboard house, an interesting link with early days in the village. was lprobably built in the eighteen ‘twenties. The property on which it stands was bought in 1824 by Jordan Post, a well known waltch‘maker in York, and even- tually passed to his grand- daughter Martha Milburn who married John R. Arnold of ‘Thomhi-ll in 1847. The Arnolds lived here for some years be- fore moving to Richmond Hill where they gave a corner of land as a site for St. Mary’s Anglican Church. At one time the house is believed to have been used as a private school for young ladies. Wallpaper had been pasted on the floor of the large upstairs school room, and then varnished. At another time it gained a repu- tation for being haunted. Mr. and Mrs. Wood, an older couple lived there just before the Pearsons claimed that they often heard a great rattling of dishes and other unexplained noises. “B‘ut said Mrs. Wood, “we have never harmed anyone painted story of maple sugar time . . .

The 1962 Dairy Princess Following our visit to the art show, 'we wended our way back to the show ring, getting a seat there just in time to enjoy seeing the contestants, the Mis- ses Diane Flerheller, Margaret Broad‘bel‘t, Margaret Cook and Mary Naylor. matching their “charm, personality and milk- ing skills” for the title of “York County Dairy Princess." Each girl gave a short speech Margaret Broadbelt, who was runner-up, extolling "the need for dairy farms is still of prime importance in York County" and Diane Fierheller, who eventually was crowned 1962 Princess, said, “I am proud of my farm- ing heritage. thanks to my pioneer ancestors who have been residents of Markham and Vaughan Townships" and con- cluding with the statement, “The farmer is the cornerstone of our economy." In keeping with the gala show, Rice's Florists had pres- ented the four contestants with corsages â€"- and H. J. Mills Greenhouse had provided each "dairy" table with a lovely bouquet of Richmond Hill roses. Mrs. Milton Savage, wife of the Fair's president, presented roses to the Princess.

I Vaughan Township officials have been advised that in recent correspondence with the Board of Transport Commissioners, the C.N.R., expressed itself still of the opinion that a grade sep- aration is unwarranted at the railway crossing on Concession 6, between Steeles Avenue and No. 7 Highway. This road, known as Main Street is the site of the 400 Drive-In and Sports- land Park and the township has asked for a grade separation there. They feel that the new iSig'net Road now being con- structed to the south in North onrk will rba'ing heavy industrial trafiic to Main Street, thus mak- ing a grade separation desirable. and I'm sure they (the ghosts) wont harm us". The Pearsons experienced only one spooky visitation and that happened during Cecile Howard's child- hood. Her mother was out and she was sitting with her father on the veranda-11 when there was a loud clatter and com- motion indoors. It was still day- light and they made a thorough search but could not find the cause of it all.
