By 1850 the pioneer years in Scarborough were over. A time of peace, prosperity and pro- gress had come to the thriving farms and village,s of the Town- ship and its 2,821 inhabitants. On the banks of Highland Creek and the Rouge River three grist milks and tweny-tnree sawmills hummed busily. Great quantities of wheat, flour, potatoes and produce of various kinds were being hauled to market in Tor- onto or being shippeu from the mouth of Highland Creek to ports in New York state. Many of its first log cabins and frame houses had been replaced by fine brick houses such as James Thomson built on Springfield Farm in 1840 and which still stands today. There too was erected in 1849 a second and, more substantial 8t. Andrew's :Church to replace the original. log building built in 1819. St. Andrew's one hundred and fifteen year old spire, can still, be seen. shining in the tree-tops above Highland. Creek. At Wex- ford Anglicans built, that year, their perfect little gem, St. Jude's. And, at West Hill the, Presbyterians were soon to' erect the red brick church still standing high above the valley and the old. Kingston Road, A one room public school now' stood in each of the twelve sections into which the town- ship was divided in 1847. Some were still of logs, but in many sections new frame schoolhouses were being built. ,Most of the teachers were men, one of whom, Alcander Muir, just beginning i his career in an old log school at Brown's Corners, was later to win fame as the author of "The 'Maple Lea Fiorever". Oppor- tunities for adult education and recreation were offered by the Scarborough Subscription Li- brary, which, organized in 1834 Rae Houston years been represented, in the. great dump District Council. .4 was dine for local municipal self government to begin, - Accordingly, at mid-century the. Township of Scarborough was formally. incorporated, and We, first township council met at Dowdell's tavern on the Mark- hani Road .on the 2ilst of January • 1850. Peter Secor, his best black suit bearing a trace of white, dust from his mill uown the road which lie lia,a visited that morning, occupied the chair as Reeve. Around the table sat Deputy Reeve J, P. Wheeler and. Councillors William HelliweE, Christopher Thomson and Ed- ward Cornell, (continued next week) FARM SAFETY An accident kills a farm resi- dent every 3,7 hours.

'The ploughing matches first held in the early thirties in the stump and stone, fields of Robert Stobo and David Annis beside the Kingston Road had led on to the organization of an Agricul- tural Society in 1844. And its annual contests of skill, together with logging, husking and paring bees, barn-raisings, taffy-pulls in the maple bush, and country dances, were immensely popular events. Politics too had long been a source of interest and ispirited debate when &arbor° farmers met in roadside taverns on thirsty summer days or sat about the pot-bellied stoves in country stores at cross-roads on winter nights. But the turbulent times of 1337, when. one or Mack- enzie's rebel followers, Dr. Hunter, after the battle of Mont- gomery's Tavern on north Yonge Street, fled for refuge to the Inn, of Jonathan. Gates on the King: ston Road (at Stop 22), and was hidden in its great oven while, the loyalist militia from New- castle marched by, were long since past.
