buttonville january with its icy roads and poor visibility cutting local activity to bare necessities is a good time to do some com munity stock taking to anyone twentyfive years of age or older ten years is a comparatively short time but consider the changes in the but- tonville area in the past decade and you will agree that not since the first settlers gathered close to the mil stream between the dip in the hills has there been so much activity hereabouts in so short a time do you recall the green farm lands where cattle grazed the tree shaded highways with their sparse postwar traffic and en thusiastic young weekend bi cyclists that was before the newly sold fiei heller and cou- perthwaite farms became the scar which is the markham sand and gravel pit or the as phalt plant sent up a plume of sullen smoke front its tall chim ney or gravel and cement block trucks plying back and forth made don mills road hazardous to motor traffic let alone pedes trians and bicyclists back in 1950 not everyone in the neighbourhood had hydro and those who did were operat ing on 25 cycle power but a change was soon to be made and conversion to 60cycle pow er in ontario which was only completed in 1959 began in but- tonville in the early part of the 50s another improvement that meant a great deal to this com munity was the adoption of dial service by the agincourt telephone exchange and later the extension of city telephone service anyone with a union- ville telephone is still on oper ator service of course the school bus system which was begun late in the jos made education much easier for stu dents in the 50s previously students wishing to take a high school course following public school were faced with the prob lem of finding their own trans portation for the several miles journey to richmond hill or markham each day or else they must board in town in either case cost was quite an item by the 50s this difficulty was overcome and daily excursions were made to richmond hill and later thornhill in gord mortsons little yellow bus the resulting number of local stu dents who eventually went be yond high school to profession al careers in that ten year per iod is interesting of those who chose the teach- ing profession there were betty hamilton anne davies frances baker dorothy hood don gohn marie maw to name a few grace rodick who trav elled to markham hs in nor man reids school bus went on to the university of western on tario as did norman middle- ton and both are teaching high school classes at present rena miller graduated in arts and went on to a business career be fore her marriage most of these people are now married george kelly jr is now a prac tising dental surgeon at new market ross baker is a civil engineer and engineering called george felgate and bob miller isobel hood realized her am bition to become a dietitian and of those who entered the nurs ing profession there were mar ion hood the johnston sisters sylvia easton velma miller netta spaans lynda leaf and heather burns who graduated from the university of toronto school of nursing and is now married to a young divinity stu dent and living in paris france early in the decade of the 50s the metropolitan toronto came into being and extended its bor ders to steeles avenue this factor along with the increased mobility cf the population and the desire of many to get to the country was responsible for unprecedented interest in lo cal real estate over a five year period farm values increased from aproxi- mately 20000 to 100000 for 100 acres families which had held farm properties for many years sold out to land speculat ors and moved to suburban or town homes these included the c j russels robert giles a robinsons l scotts hands a burns c b boyntons e hills j donaldsons the youngs the boyingtons the wm spears and others other parcels of land were sold at mcquays browns and rodicks gradually small homes began to be built on the property on the east side of don mills road south of no 7 highway where mr will brooke subdivided s acres on part of the douglas hood farm that bordered don mills road north of the mill on part of the nelson boyington farm south of no 7 highway along mr wm clarks no 7 highway frontage and at the arnold farm where mr arnold planned a development called arnleigh heights where at the turn of the dec ade business in the area had consisted of one small garage at the corner of don mills rd and no 7 highway run by nelson boyington and johnnie johnston and one general store operated by l a hood in but- tonville proper now it was hard to keep up with the additions today that lone garage is el- bowcu by seven others mr hoods store was closed at his death but mr dick jones oper ates a groceteria with general and hardware line and two or three years back mr george arnold opened the first super market in markham township close tc the arnleigh heights subdivision browns bread have a distri bution depot at browns corners and
