This Year's Sunf/o wers Are Amazing This is the “Year --Richmond Hill. of the Sunflower” in Two weeks ago we reported pictorially on one sunflower plant which had 102 blooms. a plant which bore three This week we have a picture of flowers all coming out of one head on one stem. This unusual sunflower was grown by Victor Bestard, 70, who lives at 239 Richmond Street with his wife Pearl. He is seen above with the three-bloom one-head plant which is more than five feet tall. (Photos by Claus Plock) Mr. Bestard picked the sunflower seeds out of bird seed and planted a row at the bottom of his vegetable garden intending to use the seed produced to feed the birds next 3 winter. He will accomplish that purpose and has the unusual bloom as a bonus. Mr. Bestard, who has lived almost all his life around Richmond Hill and has been a resident of the town for the past 16 years intends to save the head for next year’s seed and see if it will produce any similar “sports”. People Respond As Barn Blazes By JIM IRVING Mayor Garnet Williams of Vaughan extended a plea to his fellow councillors Monday afternoon to extend a hand to Councillor Milton Savage, who lost four barns, 22 calves and one bull in a raging fire at his Savagedale dairy farm on Bathurst Street, Sunday. The mayor expressed sym- pathy to Mr. Savage in his loss, and said he hoped "each and every one of us will give him a hand.” Mr. Savage was away fight- ing the fire, which is ex- pected to continue smould- ering for a week. The blaze, which Vaughan Fire Chief James Davidson estimated to have caused damage of about $100,000, is also believed to have been caused by arsonists. KNOCKED DOWN Olive Savage. wife of the owner, was knocked down by a youth after she had gone out to investigate the bark- ing of the family dogs at the large dairy barn. She said she saw three youths running from a barn, which was on fire. and was subsequently knocked over by one of them as he fled past her. Mayor Williams didn’t have to make any appeal to people of the district during the fire. People from miles around came to the Savage farm with .food, as well as will- ing hands. trucks and other equipment during the rest of the day and afterwards. Animals were fed and also shipped elsewhere for milking, and field work was carried on as usual. People there said it re- sembled somewhat the old time threshing gangs, with the same sort of willing spirits all working for the same cause. Vaughan Fire Department received the call to the Sav- agedale Farms at 2:32 pm and responded with three pumper trucks, a tanker. a rescue truck and 20 men. Richmond Hill Fire De- partment sent out a pumper and a tanker and assisted at the scene for three hours. Water was first pumped from the Mill Street pond in Richmond Hill to booster trucks and then from a pond on the farm. Between the two depart- ments they managed to save one of the barns housing cattle, plus some storage King Commuters To Have Shelter King City commuters who use the commuter train this winter are assured by Mayor Margaret Britnell that they won't have to stand out in the cold. The mayor said recently that the township had reâ€" ceived word from the CN that it will build a shelter at the King City stop of the Barrie - Toronto GO commu- ter run. The shelter will be similar to the type used at GO Transit stations. The train leaves King City at 7:27 each morning and be- gins the return trip from the Union Station in Toronto at 5:15 pm. Since its inception the number of users has been increasing steadily. and the number of commuters using the service during the TTC strike has multiplied dramatically. It is hoped that some of the new passengers will continue to use the ser- vice when the strike is over. sheds and a silo. They also kept the fire from spreading to the nearby farm house. Besides the cattle, about $45,000 worth of stabling equipment and 18,000 bales of hay were lost or destroyed. When visited Tuesday, clouds of grey and black smoke were still coming from bales of hay in the centre of one of the barns, while all around, the green grass was a parched brown or black. TWISTED REMAINS A burnt and twisted trac- tor stood in the middle of the rubble and the upturned fork of a hay rake poked through debris at another spot, while blackened milk cans were everywhere. And even though cows grazed nearby in the orch- ard, the whole thing gave the appearance of being ready to break out all over again. Vaughan Fire Chief David- son said the bales would have to burn themselves out. Firefighters had wetted down the tops to keep the residue intact and to keep the smoke from bothering cattle. Vaughan Fire Department will have someone from the department monitoring the situation for the balance of the week. I The fire is being investi- gated by Ontario Fire Mar- shal's office, the Fire Under- writers' Association and York Regional Police. The latter are seeking three men between 18 and 25, all wearing blue jeans and with long, brown hair. it x: * In another barn fire at Whitchurch-Stouffville last week, 13 cows and bulls were destroyed in the $250,000 blaze. A couple of sheep, hay and farm machinery were also burned in the fire, which firemen said was out of control when they arrived.
