It almost seemed as if the fates had their weeks mixed up and brought Friday the 13th to Vaughan Township Fire De- partment exactly seven days early. Friday, February 6 the de- partment had almost as many calls as it had so far this year. And one of those five calls) was the worst fire so far this year. Calls followed each other in quick succession and equipment and men were mov- ed from station to station. A barn and contents were destroyed north of Teston on Concession 5. The barn fire provided a long, dirty and difficult 6% hour fight. Windows and George Oakes .Last week Buttonville areawas saddened to learn of the} Ideath of George Oakes early lFriday morning.

Fire Chief James Davidson at one point suffered a scorch~ ing and a small burn to his cheek. Three fire pumpers and two tank trucks were used at the fire. It lasted from 9:51 am to 4:09 pm. estimated at $6,000 for the barn and $500 for hay, straw and equipment in the barn. Owners of the barn Were Paul, Luigi, Sam and Frank Iantorno of 18 Drury Lane, Willowdale. The building was insured and had been owned by the family for three years. It was rented to a neighboring farmer, Don Williamson. No animals were in the barn. Firemen hauled water about five miles from Maple to‘ fight the flames. A nearby milk house. well house and shed were saved. The fire was discovered by an unidentified passerby who warned Mr. Williamson. Cause of the fire is not known. but electric wiring in the building was very said. a >1: )1! in Just two minutes after fireâ€" ‘ IlIlIlIlllllllllllllllllllllltllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIllIIIIIllllllllllllllllillll Traffic Signals For Newkirk?

There was a false alarm at 9:43 am at an unoccupied office building at 55 Glencameron Road, Thornhill. . At 6:47 pm firemen were ,called to a grease fire in a stove at the home of David :Cork, 154 Baythorn Drive, North Thornhill. Mrs. Eugen- 1ia Cork said she and her hus-, ‘band had the fire pretty well and there wasn’t much more than a smoke problem. Mrs. Cork said a leaking pan must have let some fat run down in- side the stove and started a fire when the oven was hot. n: a a it: There were two other minor calls for Vaughan Firemen during the week. February 8 at 2:11 pm on Bathurst Street at Highway 7 a car belonging to George iWilliamson, address unknown. caught fire when the left rear tire blew out. i February 5 at 10:16 am fire- .inen were called to the B-P Service Station at 8248 Yonge )Street to wash down some lgasoline that was spilled. Richmond Hill Firemen had a quiet week. The only call was February 5 at 8:40 am to the home of John Kennedy at 705 Yonge Street North. Some furnace pipes were on fire and smoke had filled the house. ' Space Problems ‘Trustees and officials of York County Roman Catho- lic School board are having parking problems. The board meets on Thesday evenings in the administration offices on Dufferin Street in Rich- mond Hill. directly to the east of St. Mary Immaculate Roman Catholic Church. The church parking lot adjoins the board's parking lot. and there is bingo at the church on Tuesday night. Chairman Eugene Jacobs reported he had talked \\llll church officials, and the bingo night cannot be changed. "It is an unwrit- ten law that when you Time a bingo you do not have it on the same night as an- other local bingo. If you change the night there is an immediate drop in at- tendance." A suggestion that the board change its meeting night was also rejected. as trustees and officials had all arranged their own perâ€" sonal schedules 3 year ago when the board came into Board Battles Bingo Players For Parking being and had agreed that Tuesday was the most suit- able night for the majority. One trustee suggested their hour of meeting be put forward from 8 pm to 7:30 pm. but Superinten- Joe Hodge assured him the bingo players have the lot pretty well filled by 7 pm. He admitted that his own car was across the road in the parking lot belonging to a business and profes- sional building. On the other hand. he said. both church and board parking lots are frequently filled during the dav with cars belonging to people from adjacent businesses. Trustees frequently have to leave a meeting to move a car that is blocking a bingo player homeward bound. or cars have to be left on the street. The board agreed with Mr. Jacobs that “some kind of policing seems to be the logical answer.“ Regular open meetings of the board are on the first and third Tuesday of each month. ’called to Aerosol Packaging Ltd: The damage wasythe day before that black Fri-. l The Boy Guides of Scouts and Girl Canada will jomtiy Observe a memorial to the founders of the movement during the week of February 15-22.

The exemption does not apply to buildings on the land. This change came at last w e e k ‘ s township council meeting. When the tax exemption matter came up. Councillor Eldred King said there were many residential holdâ€" ings of 10 acres in the township. Excluding them from taxes meant the ex- emption bylaw was defeat- ing its own purpose, he said. Councillor James Jong- eneel said he urged a 25â€" acre minimum last year. A barn full of hay and other flammables was more of a fire hazard than a residence, he said. Councillor King proposed an 11 acre minimum. This was the figure being used by a provincial committee studying farm assessment, he said. Councillor Jongeneel said he thought the minimum should be. higher. but that he would go along with Councillor King's figure, since half a loaf was bet- ) ter than none. I Deputy-reeve Anthony Roman voted against the raising of the minimum. Reeve Stewart Rumble supported the change. lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllllllIIIIllllllllllllllllllllllllll I Study Laureleai Installation of traffic lightsi 1leaf Road in Thornhill is being lat Steclcs Avenue and Laurelâ€"r istudied by Markham Township Council. 1 A petition bearing the names of 95 people in the area was} I old, the fire cliief‘out when the firemen arrivedli‘eceived last week by council. ‘The petition requested the; lights, for the safety of parents and children alike. ‘ s a * a Tenders for construction of; sidewalks in Varley Village, - ‘week. i ; Markham Township Clerk, ’Hai‘ry Crisp told council last) week the tender opening had been waiting on the agenda of) council committee for two ‘meeting, but the matter wasn‘t lbeing resolved.
