By ten o’clock it became evident that someone would have to hum, sing or play a harmon- ica if anyone was going to dance. The lack of a stage microphone made any an- nouncements to explain the situation quite difficult for Hugo Walker and Al Rollin- son to do. Mr. Walker offered a full refund for those who wished to leave, although he pointed out that the dance was one of a series being held to raise $5.000. As many of our King read- ers know. your correspondent spends much of the week on business in Northern Ontario and it is only through the talents of my wife, Donna, that this ' column has been “where it’s at" all summer. One thing that I've noticed in the small towns up north is that per capita, there is an absence of men with long hair. The first thing that strikes me in my travels is all the ears, sticking awk- wardly out on both sides of men's heads. sometimes sup- porting eyeglasses. Women, for yearS, have predominantâ€" ly covered ears with their coiffures, and men's new hair The party gave everyone a chance to say hello after the summer, to discuss one’s vacations and to ponder the upcoming productions of Theatre Aurora. Ghost Band at King Dance I think that a great many guests didn’t know whether to cry. get angry. or laugh, but finally the music, compli- ments of John Ball and his tape deck, began to fill the auditorium. In good spirits, most people had a good time, and al- though some grumbled, and the ladies said “if they had managed it etc. etc.”, the dance went on. The buffet was delicious; one of the best that we’ve ever enjoyed at a function of this sort, The caterers were Leesons of 769 St. Clair five- nue. and the maitre d' of the MASK Dance was John Logue. Travelaugh Showbiz Theatre Aurora held a late summer BBQ on September 22 at the Kingcross home of Anne and Strath Wilson. A head count was difficult as people came, went and roamed throughout the eve- ning, but I’d say about 45 guests attended. The crackling logs in the family room fireplace be- came a choice spot to warm up for those who found thé night air breezes of the Wil- son’s patio too much. Many people say that “sil- ence is golden”, and if so, the MASK Dance held at All Saints Anglican Church on September 21 must have been 24 carat. In short, the band never showed up. Salads, rolls, etc. were pre- pared by Edie Henry and some of the other women members, providing side dish- es for everyone's steak, sau- sages or hamburger. land in the Town of Markham was expropriated for the new airport, will display saddlery and harness making.

Lloydtown Rebellion Day, October 13, is planned to serve a dual purposeâ€"to entertain the public and to raise funds for the King Township Historical So- ciety to use in restoring and preserving historical sites in the community founded more than 150 years ago. An impressive program has been arranged. with events that will appeal to young and old alike, with adventurous and exciting entertainment and dis- plays of arts and crafts that sustained the early settlers in the area. The military will be repre- sented by the Queen's York Rangers (lst American) under command of Lieutenant Colonel Michael Stevenson, and the 'Fort York Guard. The Queen's York Rangers are the oldest regiment in- Canada. Established as a Brit- ish regiment in what is now the United States. the Rangers came north with other Loyalists fol- lowing the successful American Revolution of 1776. A-lso participating in the day’s festivities will be the Tecumseh Ridge Runners, a pioneer group with members from several mu- nicipalities in the area. They will be demonstrating antique musketry, tomahawk and knife throwing. A local antique furniture buff, Basil Self will display hand carved furniture. and Ron Fin- cham, who had to move his har- ness shop to Nobleton when: his land in the Town of Markham was expropriated for the new airport, will display saddlery and harness making. All Are Invited T 0 Lloydtown Rebellion Day Community LifevIn King City Area I usually stay in one of Sudbury’s dens of iniquity where half naked hostesses serve fire water in a dark- ened atmosphere. Hidden away, as usual, in my hotel room several steps away is the Gideon Bible which haunts my room nightly. To offset the worldly tempta- tions of the cocktail lounge, the promoters of rightful doings have stepped up their crusade. A book entitled “Touched By The Fire" pubâ€" lished by the Canadian Bible Society, has now joined my drawer along with the Gideon Bible, an Air Canada sche- dule, writing paper, and a dead moth. But elsewhere. in our Nor- thern Ontario towns, barbers are still cutting hair short, and ears are sticking out in their nakedness. I had almost forgotten what they looked like. what with their ripples and folds, and question mark shape. The only other ears I’ve seen this summer are those growing on stalks in the farmers’ fields and this Trav- elaugh" is almost as corny. These are only my impres- sions of this subdivision. Ob- viously some people are will- ing to buy these homes as some. 'are occupied. I’d be interested in hearing other people’s impressions. In my opinion, it makes the new houses being built in King look palatial. Help needed!

I drove through the new BAI-F Subdivision of new homes situated southwest of Rich- mond Hill off Yonge Street. Horrors! Is this typical of housing of the future? The houses are reminiscent of wartime housing on a grander scale. The lots seem to be particu- larly narrow. and the build- ing material is dull-toned aluminum Siding, some with brick trim. What I assumed was the cheaper ($45-$50.000) model had a single car garage tacked on the front. The front door entrance had less stature than most back doors.

Admis- sion is $1 for people over 12. Those under 12 and those wear- ing period costume will be admitted free. There will be an antique auc» tion and sale of pioneer foods. With proceeds from the event the historical society hopes to start work on restoring the old Indian Carrying Trail and sites of historical significance along the way, says Mrs. Raniowski. The Carrying Trail from the Humber River to Lake Simcoe was. the society believes. the first road built in Canada. The native people and early settlers travelled along waterways, by rivers, lakes and portage. The history of Lloydtown has been pretty consistently ignored until recently, as has been the case in most early Canadian communities. It was not until this past year that the Ontario Archaeological and Historic Sites Board saw fit to commemorate the founder of the hamlet south- east as Schomberg in» King Township and to erect a com- memorative plaque near the site of the grist mill built by Jesse Lloyd, who came to Upper Canada from Pennsylvania in 1812.

Even if he had not founded Lloydtown, Jesse Lloyd is de- serving of a place in Canadian history. He was one of four lieutenants of William Lyon Mackenzie, who led the abortive rebellion against the Family Compact that controlled Upper Canada in 1837. Frustrated at the failure of the legislature to make any attempt to gain a greater degree of independence from Britain for the people of Upper Canada, rural settlers were willing fol- lowers of Mackenzie in his attempt to overthrow the estab- lished heads of the colony. Business and professional people throughout York County and beyond were also instru- mental in protesting the stran~ glehold the Family Compact had on the legislature, and on De- cember 6, 1837 they set forth to make their attack on the seat of government. Lloyd and his friends were joined by Samuel Lount, also a Pennsylvania Quaker, who had settledin Holland Landing in 1811 and was for a time a mem- ber of the Legislative Assembly of Upper Canada.

He recommended that a child be 9 to 10 years of age before being allowed to take a bike into traffic. A child can, in theory, be given a summons for improp- er handling of his vehicle (bike) and not following the rules of the road. although in reality an officer would hesi- tate to do this as the child then has to be charged under the Juvenile Delinquents Act and not as a simple traffic offence. Perhaps this law should be revised. Your correspondent was recently corrected for having included the King Coalition in our list of groups in the area. We’re told that the group .has been disbanded for almost two years. (Strangely enough, the MASK Dance tickets of September 21 still list the Coalition as one of the community groups.) Music This year, in York Region there have been so far 48 accidents involving children on bikes, including four fa- talities.

Lloyd died in exile a year later at the age of 53, leaving his wife and 11 chil- dren in Lloydtown. A few years later the others were pardoned. Mackenzie returned and was elected first Mayor of Toronto (formerly York) and Gibson be- came the first postmaster of Willowdale. following an appeal to Ottawa and suggesting a name for the rapidly growing community. His home behind the present Willowdale Post Office is now a pioneer museum. And so on October 13. the descendants of Jesse Lloyd_and his neighbors will be joined by their ancient enemies, the Queen’s York Rangers. in cele- brating Lloydtown Rebellion Day. The historical‘society hope to make the event an annual affair which will stimulate in- terest in the history of the community and aid them in their efforts to preserve and restore what remains of the early settlement.
