In fact I often freeze the plastic bagged milk and keep it in the freezing compartment for up to a month. When it is allowed to thaw overnight on the kitchen counter it is as good tasting and as nutritious as it was when placed in the freezer.

October 17. 1979 A spokesman for the Markham Transit announced last week that since October the lst, 1979, because of increased ridership, it has been necessary for the Town to provide additional buses from Monday to Friday on Bayview Avenue, between. Romfield Circuit and the Yonge Street subway at Finch Avenue, to alleviate the overloading of the scheduled 30 minute buses that operate on Route 1 between Markham and the subway during peak period hours. On Saturdays the first departure time from Romfield is scheduled for 8.13 AM. with the last scheduled departure time from the subway at 12.00 midnight.

Forty five passenger buses are used on this service with the exception of emergencies, such as a vehicle breakdown, then a 31 passenger vehicle will be put into service. The first bus and the last is 12 midnight The increased ridership, on this route, is the result of recent negotiations between GO transit and the Towns of Richmond Hill and Markham to make certain revisions to the GO Transit Bayview Avenue service that operates between Richmond Hill and the subway. One of the revisions agreed upon was that GO Transit would close doom when operating on Bayview Avenue south of Number 7 Highway. In addition, to the regular scheduled half hour service that operates on Bayview Avenue at fifteen minutes before and after the hour, extra buses will proceed southbound from Romfield Circuit in the AM. at 7.00, 7.35, 8.10 and 8.40. ln addition, to the regular service scheduled to depart from the subway on the hour and half past the hour, extra buses will leave in the PM. to Romfield Circuit at 4.45, 5.20 and 5.50. fiby mary dawson leavihg Romfield in the AM. is scheduled for 6.13 5115 schedmed to leave the subway in the PM. , Milk wasn ’1‘ always I as good or plan t/fu/ Of course this lack of pasteurization was detrimental to healih. {he most serious infections being typhoid. undulam fever and bone tuber- culosis. .

So off I would go carrying a 10 pound honey pail with lid each evening at 7 pm. to one neighbor or the other and have it filled with milk still warm from the cow: His report noted that criminal activity in general has increased 9.6 per cenl‘ many from the morning and so many from the evening milking; We always tried for the latter for that meant that usually we would have good milk for breakfast. 28 die on York roads in first nine months photograph of the young officer, will hang in the main entranceway at the detachment.
