He deplored the nonâ€"existence, so far as he was aware, of an entertaining history of the early settlement of Canada. In every neighâ€" borhood there is a wealth of tradition that should be gathéred and preserved, before it is too late, he declared. The Premier left any reference to poliâ€" tics entirely out of his remarks, but he emphasized the advantages of solid settlement of a district as practiced by the early settlers; a method which he has advocated with regard to setâ€" tlement of Northern Ontario.â€" Himâ€" self the grandson of a pioneer, Premâ€" ier Drury expressed pride in fact that his people had done their part in turnâ€" ing the vrigin forest intoâ€"homesteads. He traced the advance of industry from the days of first settlement, givâ€" ing due credit to those who had conâ€" tinued and enlarged.â€"on the work of the pioneers, but declared that we of this generation might well copy diâ€" rectly the spirit of unselfishness shown by those who first undertook the deâ€" velopment of the country. In welcoming the members ‘ and friends of the society, Dr. Hughes emâ€" phasized the importance of maintainâ€" ing the historic spots of York Counâ€" ty as a reminder of the pioneers who had persevered against untold diffiâ€" culties in their successful endeavor to bring under cultivation the Iand which now provides homes for their children and grandchildren, and he outlined the work of the society which is deâ€" voted to honoring the memory of the first settlers of the prosperous Counâ€" ty of York. Senator Richard Blain spoke on the progress of the Society, congratulating Dr. Hughes and the others who had devoted so much time to the work of gathering written records and preparâ€" ing the verbal accounts of the doâ€" ings of the day. He deplored the deâ€" crease of the urban population and outlined the privileges, comforts and even luxuries of toâ€"day against the primitive lifeâ€"of the past. Machinery, electricity, water power and motors, also railwayâ€"and steam facilities all contributed. to the lightening ‘of the farm work, the marketing of produce and the enjoyment of the people. Chief Big Canoe, who is 86 years old and finds some difficulty in speaking English, was given a very attentive hearing in his account of the development of Ontario in his reâ€" membrance. ~He presented the Soâ€" ciety with a tomahawk and other relies, which will be placed among the collection in the Temple. Some 400 members of the York Pioneer and Historical Society and many friends gathered at the annual meeting of the society at the Temple here on Saturday. The president of the society, Dr. James L. Hughes, preâ€" sided, and among the speakers were Premier Drury, Senator Blain, of Peel County, and Chief Big Canoe, of: the Georgina Islands Reserve. Messrs. E. J. Musson, Jacob Bull, Joseph Griffith, R. L. \Crawford reâ€" presented Weston. cOMETAING DOING â€" STOP 11 &1 ONEF In spite of bars and bolts, mischievâ€" ious persons repeatedly break into the buildings in the Weston Park. Durâ€" ing the past tw6 weeks a small enâ€" trance was forced and property ownâ€" ed by the Fair Board and stored away for safe keeping tampered with. Also during the summer the flooring on the Judges‘ stand was torn up, presumably to make a comfortable seat to. watch the sports. This may seem a trivial matter to the outsider, but when you consider that the Tepairing means work and material, also that lumber is expensive and Ylabor both high and hard to secure, it means unnecessary expense for the town. Then in view of the fact of a statement made from the. puipit of one of our local churches on Sunday evening last is there not something more serious than mere boyish mischief behind it all. All our boys indulge in habits which if persisted in for a time will drag them down and prevent them from becoming good citizens of this or any community in the future. If this is true should not something be done to round up the leaders and give them a higher ideal in life than leadâ€" ing boys weakerâ€"than themselves into wrong doing, for surely an amusement that must be‘carried on behind closed doors is detrimental to the character and morals of all connected with it.

WESTON PUBLIC LIBRARY VJIES T YOREKES NFEYWWV3AY WEP WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1920 Mr. Rowntree withdrew. his offer to sell to the town of Weston the proâ€" perty known as the Grove. ‘This was offered some months ago. The counâ€" cil looked it over but did not see their way clear to purchase it at the presâ€" ent time, and thus the matter has been ~standing. Wordâ€"~was ~received to the effect that the county would return to Weston the sum of $1608.01 as Weston‘s share of the unused funds collected by the county for war funds. This is the part of the $60,000 that was to be spent for war memorials. These chairmen are all to report to the executive as soon as they name their committees. Do it now and don‘t put it off for a‘number of days. Success in the undertaking is what we want and must have. }\ctivity is the great way that leads to success. The foilowing are the appointed ofâ€" ficers for the arranging of the details: Chairman, James Gardhouse; Secreâ€" tary, R. J. Flynn: Asst. Sec., J. C. Irâ€" vin;> Executivye Com. 8. .J. Totten, Geo. Fisher, W. Shiells, James Camâ€" eron, H. Coulter, W. Faichnie,. Wm. Mackay, A. E. Sycthes, James Bell; Chairman Finance Com., S. J. Totten; Chairman Decoration Com., A.

The town council held their regular meeting on Monday night in the town hall. The mayor presided. . Routine occupied considerable time. The local Fire Brigade are now Hard at work completing their organization for the convention. When they securâ€" ed the dates for the big firemen‘s conâ€" vention of 1921 in Weston, theâ€"boys decided tp,af they would set to work at once. "They realized that it meant some very hard work and that unless it was started right away it would be a failure, Weston‘s name has been held up by the different organizations as a place where they do things right. The firemen know the town spirit and are relying upon that same‘spirit to make the 1921 convention oneâ€" that will be looked upon as a model for others to follow. The firemen have therefore met and appointed their ofâ€" ficers, executive and chairman of the various committees to set the great ball in motion. The chairman of each committee is to select his committee and securé the assistance of the citiâ€" zens. It is looked forward with conâ€" fidence that all the citizens will coâ€" operate with the chairman and act. BNUNDARY LNE _ [0 BF EXTECE Move is Madeâ€"to Annex Part of Property Adjoining the Town A communication from the Hydro association for municipalitiesâ€" anâ€" nounces that there will be a meeting in Hamilton on the 16th to talk over the Hydro situation. Dr. Irwin wrote to the council asking that they will use good earth to make the filling for the road to Weston out at the bottom of the fair grounds. The constable informed the councilâ€"thate steps have â€"been taken to have the garbage dumped there all covered and the same treated. This will help, it isâ€"stated, to improve the conditions. Several communications were read from the telephone companies, differâ€" ent officials and the railway board and municipalâ€" unions regarding the adâ€" vance in rates asked for by the comâ€" pany. Mr.. Totten, local manager, spoke upon the need and plans of the company and why they needed the money and increase in rates,. This gave rise with the other letters to a long discussion upon the advisability of the town of Weston joining with the other municipal bodies to fight the increase. Theâ€"municipalities are raising. enâ€" ough money to fight the whole inâ€" crease. They are assessigg the municâ€" ipalities according to their populaâ€" tions and telephones: Weston‘s share will be forty dollars. The councillors were divided upon the matter, They all thought that the company. should be fought on the general principal of fight the corporation. â€"Still they felt that the fight was more a case of the big city against the increase. It was pointed out that the company were placing the cost for the service where it belonged. That is, upon the bigger usersâ€"of the phone. It was felt that Weston did not have a strong case to present and therefore the matâ€" ter of Weston sending the forty dollars was left over till a future meeting. Mr. Southwell, who asked. permisâ€" sion to move a tree that is in front of his driveway was granted permisâ€" sion. He will move it about two feet and if the tree dies he will replace it. Mr.. Mckissock and Mrs. Conn were present with a petition for a new side walk along north side of Church st. to Pine st., from the present end of of the cement walk. This was grantâ€" ed and the walk will be made if every thing is in order. They pointed out that the walk is in very bad: condition. It was said that unless some action was taken there would be some brokâ€" en bones and suits to settle. A GOOD START WILL HELP OUT The committee on the annexation reported that those seenvhad â€" been most favorable to the scheme. It was decided by resolution to make applicâ€" ations for the strip of land that adâ€" joins the town of Weston.. The line will be drawn 150 feet south of Edâ€" munds ave., from the Humber drive to the Fifth. _This will take in all the factories and the wool grower associaâ€" tion. Notice will be sent to York Township and the petitionets will also file their ~petition with the railway board. Applications were made for water on the Viney garden lots. These were referred to the Water Commission. It seems that the residentsâ€"are in bad way for water at the present time. The commission feel that it would be a decided loss to the town to have these lines‘ laid_as there are not enâ€" First in Five Classes of Judging Comâ€" petition at Ex. sz In five out of eight classes in the judging competition which closed F‘riâ€" day at the GC.N.E., York County farmâ€" ers led the field. Out of the 316 young men who had entered 223 went through with the contest and at all times the competition was very keen, with very creditable scores being turnâ€" ed in. Twentyâ€"two counties of Onâ€" tario were represented. ard â€"mother and five brothers survive her. William, Walter and Frederick of. Toronto, and ( James of Weston. Funeral services conducted by Rev. Forbesâ€"Robertson were held on Wedâ€" nesday. Interment taking place in Riverside cemetery. The brothers acted as pall bearers .. Friday and ‘Saturday of this week means something more than the usual routine for Weston and vicinity. But just how much depends on the coâ€" operation and work of the individual. In order that the goods can be disâ€" played and arranged so as to be of educational value they must be in early, so as to be properly classified and placed. The fancy work, flowers and vegetables will be judged on Friâ€" day afternoon, also the children‘s exâ€" hibits of art, fruit and vegetables, and all exhibits must be placed by 11 a.m. This rule will be strictly enforced and all are urged to comply with it. In the children‘s classes it is hoped a large number of the Horticultural winners will put up an exhibit and thus assist in juvenile work. Another thing we would like to impress upon the people, especially those not in the habit of exhibiting, and that is the value of small entries. â€" So many reâ€" frain because they have only one or two articles, forgetting that by conâ€" tributing they are providing pleasure for some one. Who is there who does not enjoy looking at a nerfect plant or flower, a fine specimen of hand! work, penmanship, or painting, while vegetables, baking, canned fruits and pickles are always interesting. Along these lines additiors have ben made in the premium Jiâ€"~l. making it one of the‘ largest and iâ€"ost complete of any fall fair.
