To write was her original ambition, and so earnest was her interest that she journeyed all the way from her home town, Sa- vannah, Georgia, to study for a writ- ‘ing career at Goddard Seminary in Barre, Vermont. Instructors there, however, found that she had excep- tional talent as an actress and: danâ€" ,cer. Miriam chose to cast her lot with Terpsichore. But Fate had oth- er ideas. In her second year at God» dard, Miriam was pressed into ser- ‘vice as a dancer in a commencement 1play and durin the performance she islipped' on a stairway and broke her ankle. Two years later, she graduated from Syracuse University and came to New York to study dancing. She signed with a ballet group for a tour of South America. But she never got there.

' Her dancing career was over. I She went into vaudeville and! it was here that she was disc0vered- by a Broadway talent scout and given a lead in “Little Jesse James.” The critics hailed her as a genuine “find.” Won Over to Films Miriam was cast in many Broad- way stage successes, including “An American Tragedy,” “Excess Bag- gage," “The Camel Through the Nee- dle’s Eye,” and “Lysistrata.” While appearing in the last mentioned, she was prevailed upon to make her first film, “Fast and Loose" at Para- mount’s Astoria studios. She found she preferred picture work, so she deserted Broadlway for Hollywood. She was an immediate hit. Her suc- cesses include “The Smiling Lieuâ€" tenant,” “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," “Trouble in Paradise,” “The Richest Girl in the World,” “The Story of Temple Drake,” “Design for Living,” “She Loves Me Not," “Becky Sharp," “Barbary Coast," “Splendor” and “These Three.” The last three are released through United Artists.

THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO (LORNE BLOCK) Next to the Fair the William (Bill) Mulock Picnic on Saturday promises to be the biggest event of the year when thousands from York and Peel will find their way to the fair grounds. A number of tent dwellers are spending a vacation and living close to nature at Elliston Park where they do all their cooking on crudely constructed fire places, eating in the open and enjoying the experience im- mensely. This is vastly different from gas, electric ranges and refrig- erators. Newcomers to the Village are find- ing it difficult to get suitable homes in which to live. In fact there are few, if any, vacant houses. Won’t some enterprising person or persons think the matter over and build, all of which will add to the growth and prosperity of the Village. A long felt want and much needed water supply has just been carried to the fair grounds when a pipe tapp- ing the Village water main has been installed, so there will be no more need of filling of water tanks at the town pump. Mrs. H. Kaiser received word from her .son Alfred who left by motor with a party including Jim Wilson, Herb. Weatherill and George Codlin, on a trip to Saskatchewan, that they had arrived at Regina. The party travelled through the States via Chi- cago, St. Paul and Minneapolis, and reports good crops in the vicinity of Regina. Mr. and Mrs. Watson Farr and daughter Alma and Carl Ilertson re- turned home from a motor trip in which they covered a distance of 1000 miles through Northern Ontario to Ottawa via the Thousand Islands. WOODBRIDGE DISTRICT United Church, Toronto, was in charge of the service last Sunday in Woodbridge United Church in the ab- sence of Rev. J. E. Anderson who with his family is spending his va- cation on the shore of Lake Huron at Kinaardine. Misses Mary McLean and Mary Bagg, members of the choir, sang a duet. The Burlington School Old Boys and Girls have announced their arrâ€" nual reunion for Saturday, August 29th. Activities on Woodbridge Parks Picnic parties and numerous small groups of city folk thronged both Elm and Elliston Parks on Saturday and Sunday last all of whom took advantage of the privilege offered and got away from the congested city streets and parks. The largest of the picnic parties was that of the Mount Dennis Branch of the Canad- ian Legion with a contingent of more than 300 members and friends from West Toronto, Weston and other points. A lengthy program of sports was carried out. I Miss Yvonne Poole who took a summer course at the Ontario Agri- cultural College, Guelph, has been engaged as principal of the Tulla- more School. Robert FraSer Builds New Home The career of Robert Fraser, Pine Grove cottage dweller, who won two prizes presented by the Woodbridge Horticultural Society at the Flower Show of 1935, is an interesting one. Coming- to Canada as a youth in 1903 he joined the Toronto Police Force in July of 1904 and in 1914 was promoted to Patrol Sargeant, was a mounted officer for many years, and 1922 became desk sar- geant, a position he held until 1935 when he retired from the force. Mr. Fraser recently disposed of his at- tractive summer home and is now building a new home closer to the river edge, which he hopes to have completed this fall. He is a leading spirit in the life of cottage dwellers and the Liberal Scribe extends to him the best of good wishes. It is with regret that the Horti- cultural Society Flower Shower this RICHMOND HILL RESIDENCE AGINCOURT 21-r-21 NEWS ELECTRIC WIRING THURSDAY.
