Yonge Street, so much a part of Markham history is the warp upon which the woof of local life has wo- ven a variety of patterns. The street has lived much longer than we and de- serves our respect and af- fection. It has humour too.

Laid out and constructed by the Queen’s Ran- gers, under her orders 1794-96 and named in honor of Sir George Yonge, secretary at war.” Surely a story to stir the imagination. French Loyalists i A few hundred yards north of the cairn there is another marker on the lawn of St. John’s Church. The brief story it records stirs the heart with pity. The legend reads: Two miles north of Richmond Hill there is a cairn made of field stones. Planes zoom over it, cars rush by it carrying om the busy life of the street. I asked eleven residents of Mark- ham Township if they knew it. There was a quick reply each time, “Oh yes, it is near St. John's Church,” or “You mean that pyramid thing in front of the golf club?" They had all seen it but not one had any idea what it commemorated. The legend it bears is not written so ‘that he who runs may read." One must stop and lean against ‘the sun-warmed stones to see the words. This is the message: “In the fall of 1798 forty French exiled royalists under Joseph-Genivieve. Comte de Puis'aye emigrated from Eng- land to Upper Canada. They were given rations and agricul- tural implements. The nobili- ty and their servants were unâ€" able to adapt to pioneer life and by 1807 the. settlement known as Windham was aban- doned." A simple and stark statement of human tragedy for a group of people who had come through the terrors of revolu- tion in France. Unlike the Am- ish, Mennonite, Scots and Ger- men who followed, these people were completely unfitted to cope with life in an untamed country and only thirteen of them re- mained in Canada. Perhaps their descendants made peace with the land. 240 KING ST. (By Mrs. Loren Guild) Yonge Street is the longest street on the continent. Some Ontarions claim that it runs to the Manitoba border and that the numerical name, number 11, is merely for convenience. It runs so truly north from the lake to Mt. Pleasant that war- time pilots set their compasses by it. There it turns slightly to the east but continues, an un- rolling scroll of history. Yonge St. Dr. W.

I have listened to a number rot home battles about arena or hell versus cenotaph. I am glad ;th~at we have both. Centres are fine memorials, they fit into the current life and are accepted without question. Cenotaphs, foreign to the surrounding ar- chitecture, will provoke ques- tions from our children, lest we forget to tell them. Quite a number from this community attended the World Mennonite Conference held re- cently in Kitchener.

Mr. and Mrs. Allan Doner and children had dinner Saturday with Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Good- ing and family, Dundalk. They also visited other relatives there. Beyond Markham on Yonge we stopped at the tall battle- mennted Aurora memorial tow- er and read the names engraved under the prayer, “Their name liveth forevermore.” On the west end the wind is obliterat- ing the names of the battles from Paschendaie to Mons. Names on the east end are still clear, Ypres, Somme, Arr-as, French terrain. but our history too. In front of the tower the new memorial, “The Altar of Sacrifice," carries the names of the dead of 1939-45, like fresh wounds. Faced by the rushing traffic there is still, somehow, in this lovely spot a quietness that eases memories. The fam- ily names are local but the bat- tle names unite all of Canada in a comm-on experience. Mr. and Mrs. Ron Elliott'and Dougie, spent last week at the Stayner Camp Meeting. bours.

Quaker Church Our attention was caught: again and we drove on to look at the Quaker Church built in‘ 1810, described as the only church in the area north of Tor-t onto. It is painted grey and white. A covered verandah runs the full length of the front. This unusual feature. no doubt was to protect the women while the menfolk brought around the buggy. Looking through the old wavy glass panes it was not dif- ficult to people the church with worshippers. David Thompson of Kingston spent two weeks with Mr. and Mrs. Garnet Francy.
