a popular local couple mr and mrs wesley schell main st w stouffville celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary on friday feb 7 1964 the fa mily twentytwo in all had dinner at the summitview gar dens

married life editors mail box 136 markham ont dear sir it was rather ironical to note that at the meeting of februaiy 3rd 1964 after coming to the decision that they had no ob jection to having township ow ned equipment perform various services for a race track coun cil listened to a very favour able and well prepared report of achievement and expecta tions presented by mr allan sumner chairman of the town ship parks and recreation committee this report listed among o- ther things achievements by the committee during the past year 1963 and proposed certain other things which would im prove and expand their activi ties for 1964 one of the points brought up in the report was the difficulty of getting certain services performed by private contractors such as grass cut ting snow clearing of the skat ing rinks and occasional hand labour for odds and ends such as setting fence posts and the like no member of council pro posed that as the township had men and machines on which they receive a 50 subsidy from the provincial govern ment it might be a good idea to have the municipality per form these services this of course would leave that much more of the recreational dollar to be spent on expanding and improving the already inade quate facilities for this purpose as they could see nothing wrong with providing service for race track owners and de votees the irony becomes very apparent indeed mr sumner and the parks and recreation committee are to be highly commended for their present aims as well as past achievements and it would be a shame if they were handi- capepd in any way by the twp council refusing to proffer help of this nature in any organiza tion dedicated to the better ment of the amenities of life in which the township resid ents as a whole benefit the help should be forthcoming just as readilly for this purpose as it is for the nonparticipat ing race track think it over neighbour and let the council know just how you fel in this matter if you agree with them they will no doubt be glad to hear from you and if you dont it will let them know that many residents place a higher value on community recreation and sport than they do on the sport of kings yours very truly f r beard tact changing the subject without changing your mind mrs cressman dies in 96th year mrs osias cressman of new hamburg died on tuesday feb 4 1964 after a lengthy
