FEMALE THEATR E CARRV lLLE Yonge & Castlefield MAPLE IN "In Essentials. Um'tv: In Non-u'senrialx. Liberty; {71 All Things, Charity.” RICHMOND HILL. ONTARIO THURSDAY, FEBRUARY lst, 1934 The good old winter recreation of skating is staging a remarkable re- vival in this district. The Richmond Hill arena Where new amplifying equipment was installed early in the year has been enjoying record patron- age all season but the highlight of the season’s revival came last Thurs- day night when the “Old Timers” held a skating party. Almost one hundred and fifty responded to the invitation which was for folks over twenty-one with the stipulation that Old Timers Had Enjoyable ‘Skating Party a wild scurry to the basement and‘ attic to find skates which had been laid aside years ago. Those who couldn’t resurrect a pair were able to borrow from some of the younger folk who loaned their outfits with the understanding that they would in n0i way be responsible for any accidents. The so-called “Old-timers” took the ice and those who had visions of col-3 lision-s and falls galore were disap- pointed. The surprise everyone had was in seeing just how well everyone could manipulate the blades. It wasi with hesitation, fear and trembling that many stepped onto the icy sur-i face, but just a few strokes and back‘ came the old confidence and the reali- zation “sure I can still skate.” It was a grand and glorious feeling. Many were skating last Thursday who hadV not donned the blades for ten, fifteen and \even twenty years.‘ There were skaters ranging in years from voting age to almost the alloted three score and ten. All skated well and everyone had a real jolly time. True after a few rounds many real- ized that the old ankles weren’t just what they used to be and perhaps the corners didn’t seem to come just as easily as in days of yore, but a little rest and' then another try and the old limbs limibered up wonderfully ‘and on the Whole the “Old Timers” stood the pace remarkably well. In the enthusiasm and exhiliation of the moment perhaps a few took the oc- casion a little too strenuously and paid up for it the next morning with a few kinks and pains, but as the lartisrt says in a drawing on another all over ninety had to be accompanied by their parents. The idea of an “Old Timers” §kating party was enâ€" thusiastically received and there was page “what; of it Among those present were: Mr. T. H. Trench, Mr. and Mrs. Robt. Endean, Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Herring‘- ton, Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Trench, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Reid, Mr. and Mrs. C..H. .Sanderson, Dr. J. P. and Mrs. Wilson, Rev. G. E. and Mrs. Coulter, Mr. and Mrs. E. T. Stephens, Mrs. A. J.

Dainty refreshments were served and the event was unanimously voted one of the most successful and most enjoyable held here for some time. A larger crowd is expected at the “Old Timers” second night, which will be held at, the arena to-night (Thurs- day). A genius is one who seems a won- der because he was born on third 9n BEAUTY IS AS ‘ ESSENTIAL AS DAILY BREAD Mr. Paul E. Angle of the Bedford Park Floral Company, Richmond Hill, and the president of the Canadian Florists Association was heard over radio station CRCT last Monday on the Department of Agriculture daily broadcast. Mr. Angle gave an in- teresting talk on behalf of the Can- adian Florists Association which we are pleased to give below. Mr. Angle will be heard again over the same station next Monday at 12:30 and also the following Monday. Mr. Angle addressed the radio audience as fol- lows: Up to the present the Ontario De- partment of Agriculture has been de- voting its time during these little talks very largely to the question of foods, a question which is always an important and a vital problem for mankind. Though we do not or should not live to eat, We assuredly must eat to live, and the variety and qual- ity of food We eat most certainly af- fects both our physical and mental well being. It is a fact, however, that man does not live by bread alone. We are not satisfied with a full stomach or even with perfect physical health. We long for the finer, more subtle and mysterious things of our universe. We want to bask in the sunshine, to feast on the gorgeous beauties of the rainbow and the sunset and the many colored patchwork of flowers on the hillside. We even crave communion with the Creator of all this grandeur. We want to feed our souls as well as our bodies; and so today we turn for a short time to a discussion of one ‘of the helps to this higher plane of liv- ‘ing; the beautiful ministry of flowers. PAUL E. ANGLE 0F RICHMOND HILL IN RADIO BROADCAST- ING MADE APPEAL FOR APPRECIATION OF THE MINISTRY OF FLOWERS The regular meeting of the Rich- mond Hill Women’s Institute will be held at the home of Mrs. James Pol- lard, 4 Centre Street West, Thursday, Feb. 8th, at 2:30 p.m. Mrs. David Hill will speak on the subject “Art, Ancient and Modern.” Members please note the change of time to £230 pm. sharp. There is a wide spread belief that flowers are among the luxuries which prudent people with modest incomes should deny themselves. In these days when want is pressing on every hand, when people everywhere are in need of food and shelter ‘there is a tendency for people to forget the use of flowers, even for such suitable oc- casions as sicknkess and death, on the plea of diverting the money to what is termed more useful purposes; but I wonder if the people for whom the money is to be spent are not often just as hungry for and jst as much in need of beauty as bread. There is a beautiful Eastern motto which says, “If thou hast but two loaves of bread, sell one and buy roses to feed thy soul.” It is certain that one whose mind is at ease and aglow with the satisfaction of appreciated beauty and refreshment will obtain much added nourishment from what bread he has, because of the mental reaction on digestion. ' Yes, We are more than animals and no matter what our financial status we need the ministry of flowers. Grow them for yourselves if you can, but if you cannot gTow your own you can always obtain them from your florist. There is a mighty army of highly trained Ontario men and women toil- ing constantly to prowde this essen- tial help to better living, for no mat- ter how dry or how wet, how hot, or how cold the weather may be, through it all from our modern Ontario green- houses which are still largely immune from the vagaries of the weather, the daily supply of flowers appears for your satisfaction. Though in winter the wind howls out of the north, driving huge banks of snow about your door, in spring and fall rain falls in cloud bursts, making earth sodden and sky grey, though in summer the sun beats mer- cilessly upon the earth, scorching everything in its path you can en- large your own life and at the same time assist an important Canadian inâ€" dustry by satisfying that inborn de- sire for beauty with a constant use of flowers. W.I. MEETING Metropolitan Area Favored By the County Contrary to expectation, there was no extended debate in the York Coun- ty Council yesterday When that body approved the brief which Will be pre- sented to the committee of the On- tario Legistature which is' investigat- ing the feasibility of establishing a metropolitan area. Few members took part in the dis- cussion, which was led by A. J. B. Gray, former Reeve of York and Chairman of the special committee which prepared the report. Deputy Reeve W. A. Edwards, Mimico, seized the opportunity to criticize Controller James Simpson for his: utterances on the questibn. Declaring that the Controller had been a long and strong advocate of State education and hos- pitalization, as urged in the brief, he charged that he was only so when such reforms did not affect the City of Toronto. “It is hard to understand how he and: other members of the City Coun- cil can still contend that the boun- daries of Toronto, as they were twen- ty-five years ago, are the logical boundaries to-day,” added Deputy Reeve Edwards. ' The report of the House of Refuge Commissioners showed that on Dec. 31 there were 69 men and 27 women inmates in the Home. During 1933 there were 28 admissions, while 19 were discharged or had absc-onded, with 10 deaths recorded. “Good, wholesome me:.ls are served, and all the rooms are kept in splendid con- dition, making the Home comparable to any institution of its kind in the Province,” the report added. The inventory of chattel property at the Home showed $1,249 in live stock and $940 in produce and grain. A motion sponsored by Deputy Reeve John Doggett, East York, call- ing on the Government to include male industrial workers in the Mini- mum Wage Act was carried. The mover said that many men employed full time at their regular places of employment are forced to seek muni- cipal relief to make both ends meet, owing to ridiculously low wages paid them. The session is expected to end to- morrow after the reports of the Edu- cation and Finance Committees have been received. The regular meeting of Vaughan and Richmond Hill Veterans Will be held on Tuesday evening, Feb. 6th, at VETERANS' REGULAR MEETING 8 pm. sharp.
