Auditorium. own 0 0 mi dance is an annual event and proved to be a worthwhile and Bowmanville, April 8 -- On the north side of No. 2 Highway, about a mile east of Bowmanville Ceme- tery, a historic farm that dates back to 1828 was recently purchas- ed by W. A. Lloyd Ayre. Until February, 1951, it was known as the Gill Farm; before that, it belonged to the Joness family, but 123 years ago the land was first deeded from the Crown to King's College. Or- izinally a parcel of 115 acres, sev=- era] acres on the north end of the farm were purchased by Orville K. Oshorne; approximately eight acres have been retained by Charles Gill, but the balance or 95 acres, he sold to Lloyd Ayre, The new owner in- tends building up a flock of South- down sheep for show purposes, and raising Border collies. Mr. Ayre is no stranger to the || sheep business, For the past four years he has been flock superin- tendent at Don Head Farm, Rich- mond Hill, and his father before him, Alfred Ayre, now living re- 'tired in Oshawa, gained an en- viable reputation in this district | for his: Southdown and Cheviot sheep. ' Collies From Scotland Taking the farm over officiallye in February, Mr. Ayre and hiir wife Arlene, daughter of Mr. anqg Mrs. Arley Northcutt, Bowman4- ville, started negotiating for the importation of Border collies from Scotland, They expect three of this excellent breed of sheep dog to ar- rive in the very near future. Other than King's College, J. M. Joness is believed to have been the first owner of the farm which, according to information received from W. Ross Strike, K.C, was deeded to him in 1846. Lieut.-Col. R. J. Gill of Brockville purchased the farm from the Joness Estate in 1915. Mr. Gill made considerable improvements when he became owner. Besides constructing mod- ern barns, he built a fine modern brick house. The Retreat Dairy operated by the Joness family, how- ever, passed into history. Founded Bigwin Inn Subsequently, the farm was turned over to Charles A. Gill, son of Lieut.-Col. and Mrs. R. J. Ayre: It is interesting to note that Mr, Gill's maternal grandfather built and operated the famous Bigwin Inn, one of Muskoka's most renowned summer resorts. Chas. Gill retained about eight | acres of the original farm when | he sold it, and on this land, east | of the Ayre home, he owns two | houses. One is occupied by Mrs. | J. Lawrence Cryderman and the |g other by Mr. and Mrs. Rermeth | Cox. Sheep raising appears to be in | the Ayre blood. Many people in | Durham County and beyond these | borders will recall the fine flocks shepherded by Alfred Ayre on his | farm a mile and a half south of Solina. Mr. Ayre started showing sheep in 1908 and was still active- ly engaged in the business until | recently. He showed at the first | Royal Winter Fair in 1922. Harrowing Experience One show experience the elder Mr, Ayre recalls with a bit of mis- giving took place in Ottawa. He | was standing near the boiler room | in the Ottawa show place when a boiler blew knocking him off his feet and outside. On the second floor, several men tending a horse were knocked backwards by the blast while the horse fell through the floor. A few people were ser- fously injured in the accident which occurred around 1912, Lloyd's twin brother, Boyd, is presently operating the Solina farm while their parents live retired in Oshawa. © Brothers "Junior Champs Both Lloyd and Boyd were for- tunate in having been on Junior Farmer teams coached: by Ed. Summers. Lloyd was potato cham- pion in 1944, and Boyd earned equal honors in swine. In 1946 they were members of the Durham County Livestock Team that com- peted at the Royal Winter Fair, In competition with 102 boys rep- resenting 34 counties, Lloyd was high man with, a total of 1863 points in the 10 classes judged. Boyd finished seventh with 1770. Besides the two boys, Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Ayre have a daugh- ter, Audrey, who is now Mrs. Lloyd Metcalfe and lives in Oshawa.

Electrical costs were estie mated at $590 and general interiog | finishing, $685. "The quarters the men are now |in are an absolute disgrace and | highly inadequate," said Commis« sioner Robert Mills. "With this new building there will be a certain amount of indoor training done.
