Fris- meeting of the Victoria Square District Lions Club on Tuesday evening of last week in the Vic- toria Square Community Hall. As it was agriculture night, Mr. Middleton spoke on “Farm- land Expropriation". In case of farmland expropriation he suggested that the Federation of Agriculture be contacted. The federation provides this service to act as some protec- tion. and to assure the farmer of just treatment. The Ontario Federation of Agriculture with which this county Federation of Agricul- ture is affiliated, has been con- cerned with expropriation and farm land owners' problems for several years. The OFA rec- ommends certain actions for ex- propriating agencies to take to ensure the land owner gets just treatment. All of them are based on the assumption that the land owner should be as well off after expropriation as before. His talk was most interesting and informative and was well received by the many guests present. The farmers of the community were well repre- sented. The speaker was thank- ed by Deputy District Governor Lion Lawson Mumberson. Federation of Agriculture Banquet by, Mrs. M. Styrmo, Mrs. L. Canning, Mrs H. Collard. March: Mrs. H. Hill, Mrs. N.

Inspector Maynard Hall- man stated that there may be enough children in this category to warrant estab- lishment of both a senior and a Junior opportunity class. Since some of Mrs. Kimbark's pupils are receiving treatment in the psychiatric unit at York County Hospital, the board agreed that she should spend a‘ half day with the workers there. ‘She will also visit the itinerant teacher in King Township and observe her system.

New M5 Zoning Disturb: Residents With such a threat involved. it would seem that not only Buttonville residents but the whole of Markham Township should rise up. The details of this new zon- ing are in Township “By-law No. 2069" â€" a by-law to regu- late land use passed pursuant to Section 30 of the Planning Act." and the area is outlined in Schedule "A". Markham Township Council passed the by-law in September, 1964 Buttonville was a gay place to live more than a century ago, according to local historian Hilda Kelly, whose saga of But- tonville Women‘s Institute Hall was read by Mrs. Gordon Pur- ves at the January meeting of the institute. Mrs. John Wilkins ‘was hostess, and more than itwenty members were present. WI Hall Hal Interesting History Metropolitan Toronto has fil- ed an objection to the by-law, and there will be an Ontario Municipal Board hearing. As early as 1838 an Orange Lodge was organized, but the hall which housed its activities was burnt. By 1854 it was re- built, and through the years it rang to fiddlers' tunes and the stomp of country dances. In 1927 this building was destroy- ed by fire also, and it was not Services Paved road, water and sanitary sewers Lot No. Parts of Lots 231 and 232 Services Paved road and water and sanitary sewers 7' W0 BUIlD/NG [075 FOR SALE BY TENDER Lot No. Plan 159 and 10’ of 158 4841 T.

Euchre Series There were 18 tables of play- ers at Buttonville WI Hall last Friday evening for the second game of the present series. Rodlck‘ A new federal program of assistance to agricultural fall fairs throughout Canada has been announced by Federal Agricultural Minister Harry Hays. Proposals are an extension of revised livestock classifications introduced on a trial basis at six fairs last year. They involve reducing the number of classes in the prize list and increasing total prize money substantially. Help For Fairs "The new approach we arei suggesting.” said Mr. Hays. "has been under discussion with breed organization officers and other interested groups for several months. Reaction in cor- respondence anti other reports indicates wifie adeeptanc'e of the new program." A preliminary discussion of the proposed new prize list classification; was held at a meeting of federal and provin- cial officials in December, and further discussions were held with interested groups last week. “We believe that the federal program will now win the ap- proval of at least a large major- ity of the interested parties,” Mr. Hays said. “We also believe that it will be attractive to any class A, class B or winter fair that would like to participate.” Street Size South Taylor Approx.
