One of the largest elm trees in this area was brought low last week when a towering giant, unfortunately diseased,‘ was cut down at‘Whitebridge Farm, Bayview Avenue. the home of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Gibson. Mr. Gibson reports that it took the firm of tree experts two or three days to do the job. He tried to count the rings in the stump but had to give up at 150.

Harris of Mllllken is reported in satisfactory condition after he was struck by a car on Ken- nedy Road north of Steeles Ave. May 14. Markham Police said the1 boy apparently ran across the road and was struck by oncom- ing motorist Roy Cornwall of Markham. He was taken to Scarboro General Hospital with a broken right hip and bruises. Only slight damage was re- ported May 15 when cars driv- en by Ronald Cosgrove. 389 Centre St., Richmond Hill and I'arion Hlllar, 225 Essex Ave, Richmond Hill were in collision at 19th Ave. and Bayvlew Road. There were no charges. A truck. driven by Joseph‘ Resdell of Newmarket went out of control due to faulty‘ brakes, police said, and knock- ed over a telephone pole south of 19th Ave. and Don Mills Road. Mr. Resdell had slowed down for a tractor and was forced to ditch his car. There were no injuries. Ponce reported several dogs had been hit by motorists on Bayview Avenue within the last few days and cautioned residents to be careful when letting their dogs run. A car driven by Pearl Letsche. 90 Grenfell Cres.. Markham narrowly missed hit- ting a tree when it ran off the road on the 2nd Concession north of Highway '7, May 13. Neither Mrs. Letsche, nor her sister, Mrs. Taylor were injur- ed. Damage was $45. Damage to two cars totalled $300 following an accident May 14 on Don Mills Road. Victoria Square. Drivers were Robert Thomas Morley of Stoufiville and Alvin William Foster 0! Unionville. And here is some further news about how another squeek- ing wheel received a little grease. The squeeker was of course myself (who else?). Being highly dissatisfied with a floor cleaner which promised to “easily clean and shine floors" at the same time, I wrote the manufacturers and in no uncertain terms let them know my opinion of their pro- duct. Back came a polite letter expressing regret and advising ‘that my trouble was no doubt ‘due to the fact that I had neg-‘ iected to first remove all old‘ wax from the floor, and that another bottle of the cleaner would be sent me. This made me highly indignant as there had been no mention on the label of the necessity for removing wax. "Stop scrubbing floors” it said. “Just remove the loose soil, then apply, etc. etc.” how best to fit it Into the sur- rounding decor. However. when the new hot- tle of cleaner was received - what do I find? A new label which includes these additional instructions. Also added was‘ the information that on first using the product (after remov- ing old wax) a second coat should' be applied for extra shine. This, I felt was some success. At least the new label ls closer to the truth and not so entirely misleading. There is only one further bone of contention. It concerns the phrase "easily clean your floors”. First sweep up loose soil; then remove all old wax‘ (with a wax remover they will‘ be glad to sell your for the‘ purpose); then apply the clean- er; then apply a further coat for a better (but still very poor) shine. This Is easy? York Central Girl Guides Hold Annual Banquet In Thornhill The York Central Division Girl Guides held their annual banquet at Holy Trinity Church, Thornhill. May 1st. The tables were decorated in blue and yel- low, with daffodils and ms.‘ Adding to the color and decor-‘ ations and creating a great deal of interest was a collection of dolls dressed as guides of other lands. These are the property of lst Gormley Guide Com- pany. Grace was said by Rev. H. R. Howden and the toast to the Queen was given by Mrs. H. D.‘ Currie.

The auction sale held on May 11th by the Thorn- hill Lions Club caused a severe parking problem on both sides of Yonge Street but sent squads of people home content with the best bargains of the year. So great had been the response to the appeal for goods that the committee, headed by Tom Gibson, was almost overwhelmed by more than 200 items. These ranged from a dog house to washing machines and even included a set of windmill propeller blades. Items were still being received on the morning of the sale and unfortunately this meant the committee was un- able to test the great variety of electrical ap- pliances or give any guarantee of their func- tioning. Washing machines went for as little as $8.50 and one lucky individual purchased a gas stove for $2. One of the committee advised that the donor of this particular stove had purchased it new three years ago for $260. Carol Barker began the pro- gram with “Bless This HOUSe” followed by the orchestra with the “Mosaic Overture." A large tea pot. gallon size sold readily. as dld a roast pig. This was donat- ed by Nels Gage and was won by Tom Gibson who paid $14 for it. Sinks, taps a toilet top, bed pans, costume jewelry, 8 coal stove and a roll top desk were only a few of the huge variety of articles offered. The 34-member orchestra played “I Could Have Danced All Night”, “76 Trombones,” “Hernando‘s Hideaway" and “I Talked to the Trees.” The choir’s 32 voices blended on “1‘ pril Showers" and "The Rift Song”. Vocalists Margaret and Patricia Paterson sang “The Desert Song” and boys' quart- ‘et, the Deep Valley Boys sang ‘a medley of folk songs. Vocal- ists, choir and orchestra com- bined to present highlights from “South Pacific" with soloists Marian Martin, Bob Reach and Bruce Clark. The sale started at 1 pm. and was still going strong at 5.15. It was estimated that between four and five hundred persons attended. The club raised a net of some $600 through the sale and this will be used for their local welfare work. Mr. Gibson and his committee, composed of Hal Harley, John Cole, Les Markle, John McCul- lam, Dick Jeffrey. Willard Simpson and Larry Yus- wack, were much impres- sed and very grateful for the warmth of the people both those who donated and those who attended the sale. They are also most grateful to Wllf Dean for the use of his Yonge Street barn for the sale. Mr. Lezar said, “I was really‘ impressed with the work of the soloists, choir and orchestra and would like to credit pianist Kingsley Butler." Kangaroo Drive Near Thornhill Markham Township Police spent some hours Saturday eve- ning trying to roundâ€"up two kangaroos running loose In the township north of Thotnhlll just east of Yonge Street. A diligent search produced no trace of these animals from‘ “Down-Under", and a check with zoos and known owners of kangaroos did not reveal that any of the animals were miss- ing. Several complaints about firecrackers being let off were investigated by the police, but no damage was reported many of the investigations. Heavy holiday weekend ttaffi fic moved over roads in the: township fairly smoothly with no major accidents reported. Many minor -accidents, mostly rear-enders, occurred. but in most cases the vehicles involv- ‘ed were driven away.
