It was decided at the meeting that something should be done, and done immediately to prevent child batterers from continuing this horrible prac- tice. by sterilization. This would eliminate the birth of more in- nocents for this type of person to vent their wrath and frustra- tions upon.

This brief will then be forward- ed to Prime Minister Pearson and everyone else in federal office. including the elected rep- resentatives of North. East and West York.

Other donations came from Gallacher’s Food Store‘ Fuller’s Dry Good Store, Oak Ridges Cleaners, and Oak Ridges Tires and Sales. Pauline Milligan sold the most tickets for the draw,_with Bren- da Daines second and the Good family third. The section of the bylaw which reads “Agricultural use shall mean general farming and the raising of and harvesting of field, bush, tree and vine crops, dairying and other similar gen- eral farming operations but shall not include the raising of fur bearing animals. commercial riding stables, commercial dog kennels, commercial poultry and egg plants, commercial green- houses. commercial nurseries or mushroom farming.“ drew criti- cism from Mr. Teinkamp. He said that sometime in the future he might want to build a green- house and would be prevented from doing so by the bylaw. He also asked for a definition of general farming and com- mercial farming referred to in the above clause. Members of planning board told him that those in the area affected gen- erally understood the difference. Leslie Pengeily asked the planning board to give close scrutiny to some parts of the bylaw, particulary such vague phrases as "other usual acces- sory buildings". These should be rewarded to eliminate pos- sible trouble when and if the bylaw is passed. Great concern was expressed over the section of the bylaw which stated. “Minimum size of a building lot for a single fami- ly dwelling shall be one acre in area.” They were assured by Alf LeMasurier. member of the board, that without this clause lots could be smaller than one acre which would be an open invitation to subdivid- ers.

On arrival we were greeted by the thunderous clanking of more than 30 trac- tion engines, each with its own distinctive piercing whistle. These ponderous power plants. although immense in size were short on horsepower. ranging from a mere six to between 30 and 40. ‘ Each engine. with the pos- ‘sible exception of a couple of companyoowned “jobs”, is priv- ately owned, restored (as well as operated) by steam enthus- iasts, and the months and some- times years of hard work is re- flected in all of them.

In keeping with at Centennial theme, bushy beards were evi- dent on several of the local gentry, while bustles, hoopskirts and poke bonnets adorned a number of the fairer sex. An authentic Red River cart (circa 1900) complete with placid oxen and wooden yoke became a mode of transportation for the small fry. their small faces lit ‘up with happy smiles. In fact ‘no matter where you looked everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. the exhibitors as well as the onlookers. We watched a 1921 George White traction engine hooked up to a threshing machine, a 1927 Bucyrus-Erie steam shovel biting into the earth. and laughed out loud at the raucous sound of a steam calliope and the almost recognizable rendi- tion of “Oh Susanna". Columns of white steam belched up- wards from these mechanical old timers as if to remind us that in spite of their age, there was still plenty of life in the “old boys” yet. In addition to the steam engines, there were more than 50 aging gasoline engines of all sizes, that had been gathered from all parts of Canada. faith- fully restored and all in run- ning condition. Inside one of the large arenas was an enormous display of miniature traction engines, steam power plants and loco- motives, each one hand crafted and authentic down to the smallest detail. One solid brass locomotive and tender had been started in 1928 and was com- pleted this year. Can you im-‘ agine spending 39 years build- ing anything? There was so much to see we hated to head ‘for home. \Llons The first meeting of the King City Lions Club in the form of a chicken barbecue, was held at the home of incoming president, Stan Roots and wife Muriel, September 5.
