t a A YEAR HERALD YEAR NO 29 Here There Around Town By Local Editor Jack Struthers and are holidaying this week and next at Beach With the scorching sun and the heat from the asphaltlaying Main St probably had the enviable distinction of being the hottest Main St in North York on Wednesday Earlier in the week before this phase of the job was begun on the south end of the road Main St resembled a ghost town There werent even many construction workers in that area As Local Observer strolled down the street the tune Me and My Shadow sprang to mind as being a most appropriate one for that occasion NEWMARKET ONTARIO THURSDAY JULY Mass tt A Liberal banner has been raised across Main St pointing the way to the committee rooms in the Scout It has come to our attention that youngsters around town have been defacing the polling lists posted in each subdivision In the instances with which we are familiar it was not small children who were to blame Boys and girls who should have learn ed respect for public property were the culprits Were in for a dry warm sum mer That forecast didnt come from the weather bureau but from an indisputable source Ac cording to English folklore if it doesnt rain on St Swithins day it wont rain for days Yesterday was St day and not a drop of rain fell in the Newmarket district Youre quite safe to go ahead and plan any picnics family re unions or holidays and not worry about the weather It will be fine It has been said frequently Its the woman who pays But in one instance this week it the man who suffered the moat Trouble between two neigh bors both women in the River Drive Park area resulted in court action on Tuesday July when one woman was ordered to sign a bond promising to keep the peace for one year Refusal to do so bore the penalty of a fine or seven days in jail The trouble revolved about the use of one womans driveway by a member of the other family But like so many case of dis putes between relatives or neigh bors the day might have been saved by a sense of humor Short tempers and long tongues are too often encountered in neighbor hood quarrels The defendant was accused of having struck the other woman after using profanity on hen The This light plane crashlanded on Max Stiles farm on Tuesday Here Harry points out to Jim Stevens Sharon where a tret was struck and topped by the plane as it made its forced land ing- Plane Hits Air Pocket Crash Lands None Hurt A a two passenger training plane crashlanded in a field on the farm of Max Stiles Main St North Newmarket on Aurom Tuesday July Neither the Womens

an air pocket said Rather than risk hitting tele phone wires by attempting to gain altitude we headed the plane for the first clear field The propeller and one wheel were smashed as the aircraft landed a former Newmarket boy who was well known in skiing and archery circles had flown here on Tuesday from Kingston with his friend to visit Mr and Mrs Harry They had landed their plane in a field
