munity centre hall and rink one wonders how two such structures could be built for such a sum but shelbourne may have other resour ces to add to the total opening for good bush league here the ontariocounty bushleague hockey which will operate in ux- bridge this season is full and good wood and stouffville have been un able to enter teams in this circuit as they had expected to do it is under stood that representatives from both centres were told that the calibre of players they would have would be much too good for the class of hockey in the uxbridge league claremont is also understood to have a team on the loose and with markham rink being booked up with both junior and intermediate hockey the south ontario league teams may have difficulty getting time in markham

interested in seeing the hall question decided favorably for a hall the town needs a hall says this man who has no hope of ever being able to enjoy it but he is thinking of the welfare of the com munity and the young people in his active days he followed his father the late elijah pennock in the livery stable business when the horses were being replaced by cars he followed the trend and drove his customers thousands of miles by car a livery stable nowadays of course is a rarity aside from riding schools there is not a stable where horses are for hire in the whole county before the motor car came it was an essential business in every town and there were two liveries here for years a good livery well looked after was a good business proposition they were very popular with the young men who hired a horse and buggy to take their girl friend out you had to speak in advance for a sun day outfit a nice rubbertired buggy with a lively horse was just the thing there were few young ladies who would turn down a chance to go for a drive on sunday or of an evening many married couples today recall when they did their courting in this way a recent article in the owen sound sun- times speaking on livery stables said in part one of the chief sources of rev enue for the owner of a livery station was from the business ob tained from commercial travellers before the latter made use of the motor cars a traveller would come into a place with his samples intent on visiting many of the smaller stores in the country districts where there was no railroad in a short time he might be seen starting out with a horse and buggy from the local livery stable nowadays there are not so many of these country stores in the majority of cases the store owner now owns his own car and drives into the larger centres for his supplies there is no demand now for the livery stable the majority of the young people today have never ridden behind a horse and know little of the pleasures of those former days this may be called progress but those who used to enjoy an evening with a good livery outfit will hardly look at it that way it is gratifying to come across people like mr pennock while they can derive no personal benefit from a community undertaking are publicspirited enough to want others to enjoy what they may have missed which is correct the glass is half full or the glass is half empty mr and mrs gordon ramsey of detroit were in town this week owing to the death of his aunt mrs esther tarr earl mccready one of canadas foremost wrestlers and a whit church farmer is
