"Frances Reid, vice-chairman of the West Gwillimbury planning committee, has been appointed to the Simcoe County and Orillia Housing Authority, Minister of Housing John Rhodes announced last week. Mrs. Reid has served on the planning committee for almost two years and has worked with the Ontario Municipal Board and the Greater Toronto Assessment Board for 27 years. The appointment on the authority runs for three years. The Simcoe County and Orillia Housing Authority studies government-subsidized housing in Simcoe County, including senior citizens' apartments and low-cost housing."
These enormous elm logs are in the wood yard on the Brown farm, lot 14, and conc.10. Harry Brown is standing on the right, his brother, Frank, is on the left. They are cutting these elm logs into firewood length blocks for the next winters wood supply. Trees would be cut from the woodlot into logs and then skidded onto the sleigh and pulled by team of horses up to the woodyard between the house and barn to be cut up for firewood. This was a handy way for this to be done as Frank and Harry would not have to walk to the bush to cut wood ever nice day. Photo taken in the 1920s.
