unchanged over 75 years continued on from page from dorsetshire england in 1820 and built a residence on the bluff overlooking the don the early settlers of thornhill were princi pally english among the pioneers was mr parsons another emigrant from dorsetshire who as associat ed with mr thorne in several business enterprises an english church was organized in thornhill at an early date one of the first incumbents was rev isaac fidler who attained some celebrity as the author of a book entitled obser vations on professions literature manners and emigration in the united states and canada it was a good deal in the style of mrs trollape capt basil hall and other early british critics of american democracy rev geo mortimer subsequently occupied the pastorate he was a man of earnest spirituality and energetic temperament though not physic ally strong his labours for the advancement of the cause of religion were unremitting he died suddenly in the midst of the active duties of his sacred calling another incumbent of this church was rev dominic e blake brother of mr chancellor blake and uncle of hon edward blake at present leader of the reform party in the dominion parliament rev mr blake came to canada in 1s32 from the county mayo ireland like most of his family he was a man of unusual mental calibre his death which was sudden and unexpected occurred in 1859 his successor was rev e h dewar author of a book pub lished at oxford in 1844 entitled german protestantism and the right of private judgment in the interpretation of holy scripture his thorough acquaintance with the condition of religious faith in germany was gained while resid ing at hamburg as chaplain to the british residents in that city his death occurred at thornhill in thornhill in 1862 it will be seen that the english congregation of thornhill was exceptionally favour ed for a village community in the high intellectual standing of its successive clergymen an advertisement published in the gazette of may 16th 1798 shows that at that time salmon was caught in large numbers in the don at this point the announcement offers for sale by auction a valuable farm situated on yonge street about twelve miles from york and after expat iating on the richness of the soil and other inducements adds above all it affords an excellent salmon fishery large enough to support a number of families which must be conceived a great advantage in this infant country the present population of thorn hill is upwards of seven hundred three or four miles north of thornhill on yonge street is the incorporated village of richmond hill which is partly in the town ship limits it will form the sub ject of a separate notice a short distance to the north of richmond hill in markham was the residence of coionel moodie who was shot at montgomerys tavern in the troubles of 1837 colonel moodie was a retired officer of the regular army having been lieutcolonel of the 101th regiment and having seen service in the peninsular war and the struggle with the united states in 1s1213 the toronto and nipissing rail way enters the township from the south in the fifth concession and proceeds in a onrtherly direction to unionville then making a con siderable easterly detour to the village of markham and from that point it runs northeasterly to stouffvillc in the northeast angle of the township the latter village is partly embraced within the limits of whitchurch and with markham village will be dealt with separately unionville is the place of meet ing of the township council and isv pleasantly situated about two miles and a half west of markham village on the river rouge the population numbers about three hundred smiths canada pub lished in 1851 states that it then contained about two hundred inhabitants a grist mill with three run of stones and a saw mill two churches congregational and wos- leyan methodist it is a thriving and prosperous community buttonville about two and a half miles west of unionville was named after major john button who came to canada in 1799 and after a residence of two yeacs at niagara settled in markham he raised and commanded a troop of cavalry known as the york light dragoons which did good service in 1s12 his sons william and francis were members of the body the former being lieutenant in 1s37 the family were again to the front john button as major and francis as captain col v m button at one time reeve of the township is the son of the latter the smaller unincorporated vil lages of the township include gormleys corners almira vic toria square

project is thank you for accepting refugees paraguay has 30000 lepers and only about 200 of them are taken care of building a leper colony for these unfortunates will be the latest project of the mennonite central committee announcement of the leper pro ject was made last week by corne lius j dyck director of the south american program of the mennon ite central committee visiting the canadian headquar ters of the mennonite relief agency here mr dyck said the leper col ony will be a thank you to para guay for accepting 5000 mennonite refugees from europe after the war mr dyck was in germany helping to administer mennonite relief supplies from canada and the united states and endeavoring to make possible the emigration of a large number of mennonites to canada at that time the canadian immi gration rules proved insurmount able but overtures to the govern ment of paraguay filled the gap for at least 5000 european mennon ites who were accepted into para guay these new settlers have an ex tremely hard time and still endure pioneer conditions but they and the entire mennonite community of north america are so grateful for the haven that they wish to show their appreciation through building the leper settlement for paraguay they have been assured assist ance by the american mission to lepers at new york arriving in paraguay in 1947 the mennonite settlers have endured two years of crop failure and rigor ous hardships such as mennonites settling in manitoba 75 years ago faced but prospects for a crop this year and continued relief from north america have given them continued hope mr dyck in north america on a snort visit will be returning to the paraguay field in may he said mennonites settling in paraguay from canada have not been helped by the mennonite cen tral committee they took imple ments supplies and money with them the european immigrants arriv ed with absolutely nothing developing into a great program since opening of the last war the mennonites worldwide relief work is to become a permanent phase of mennonite church program alleviation of suffering all over the world was the way c jrem- pel director of the kitchener head quarters described it the mennonite program since the war has been for all nations races and creeds at one time in the worst postwar days in germany the mennonites were feeding ger man children en masse it was es timated the food handouts to child ren were the equivalent daily of having two guests every day at each mennonite home in north america similar free food hand outs were made in austria france italy and poland turning back to paraguay mr dyck said the mennonite central committee hopes these mennon ites will soon be selfsupporting and have adequate sources of income but regardless of how soon this day comes the mennonite relief aid program will continue and grow throughout the world actions speaks louder than words said mr dyck if you tell a pool widow woman in paraguay or any other country to be of good cheer because the lord will pro vide this assurance is not as power ful as when she is given some im mediate material assistance by a worker mr dyck said belief that mennon ites are interested in the welfare of their own people alone and that they have little concern for other citizens of countriesm which they settle is a mistaken one the pro posed leper colony is one proof of that many of the european men nonite imigrants of paraguay will give their time and skill in build ing the colony and operating it tfmame another ford part m factory rebuilt cylinder assembly here is
