The president stated he had approv- ed the request and his decision was well received by those pre- sent at the meeting. After seeing the show put on[ by the ladies auxiliary. Com- rade Harry Lever was inspired to produce a show of his own. Providing sufficient talent is‘ available Harry plans to stage a show Christmas Eve. It will feature repertoire of female im- personation. He may headline it the “Legionettes”.

Village of Cahiague. ‘ Oak Ridges Archeologist Heads Orillia Area Huron Indian Dig . “v.5- About 150 university and high school students took part in the dig, 10 miles northwest of Orillia. off Highway 12. A group of 12 to 16 stud- ents worked at the site all summer and 500 participa- ted in the two weekend digs during October. Initial work had been done on the site in 1946 and 1947 when the ossuary or burial pit was excavated. Because the university had commitments in other areas (such as those to be inundated by the St. Lawrence Seaway) they were unable to do any fur- ther work on it until this year. Cahiague is not included in the Ontario government‘s Hur- onia project. but Professor Em- erson hopes to raise funds to in- vestigate and restore the site fully and possibly establish a national memorial. Champlain stayed in the v'il- lage during the winter of 1615- 16, at which time it was said to contain bétween five and six thousand inhabitants and was the capital of the Huron nation.

The first six inches is removed with shovels and the balance scraped away with small hand trowels. Each student is assigned a‘ five foot square to work on. Af-i ter removing the top soil the plot is carefully marked out in foot squares and as the digging or rather scraping progresses, any “finds" such as broken pot- tery, tools or discolored patches of soil are carefully marked on a graph paper supplied to each digger. Thus the exact location of buildings, fireplaces. storage \pits, etc. can be accurately map- lped. In this way, 11 of the Hur- ons 200 foot longhouses have been excavated. Each longhouse was built on a framework of be- tween three and four hundred cedar posts. When the village had used up all the easily rea- ched firewood in the area and exhausted the soil by growing repeated crops of corn, it would move to a new site, perhaps iust 15 or 20 miles away. The longhouses would be dis mantled and the posts taken up and moved to the new site.

Richmond Hill's share of profits for the North Yonge Bus Line for the third quarv ter of 1964 was 51.841.41, council learned when a cheque for that amount was received. This brings the amount received by the town during 1964 to $3,218.- 57. Richmond Hill owns 50% of the line which is operated by the Toronto Transit Commission. Vaughan and Markham Townships each have receiv- ed $1,609.29 so far this year with $920.71 of this amount being for the third quarter. Each township owns one-quarter of the line. During the third quarter 43,251 revenue miles were carried and 286,313 fares collected. Operating rev- enue was $28,524.88 or 69.95c per mile, with opera- ting expense being $24,- 842.05 or 57.49c per mile. Ratio of operating expense to revenue was 87.16%.

The third problem named was the central downtown section where Mr. Sayers advocated immediate steps to provide adequate services so that redevelopment and improvement of this all important section of town can take place without fur- ther delay. Mayor Thomas Broadhurst agreed with Mr. Sayers, but said it was becoming all too evident that many people, who approv- ed of the program turned down by the OMB in October for work in this area, didn’t say so at the right time. The mayor be- lieves council will have to give deep consideration as to what is now legally possible to un- dertake in the area. “So many serious problems are left in mid-air," he said, “the whole matter will require more thought and investigation than this council can give it. How- ever next year‘s council should look into the question of asking for a review.” Deputy-reeve Stanley Tinker noted that the release of $180,- 000 of the Municipal Works Asâ€" sistance Fund in favor of the‘ public school board means that? any such work undertaken will be more expensive to the town and its ratepayers than the or- iginal project.
