C. Bailey The members of the Maple Wo- men’s Institute met Wednesday. 0c- tober 11th at the home of Mrs. P. White and enjoyed a splendid pro- gram. A feature of the meeting was the presentation of a beautiful umbrella to Mrs. H. C. Bailey a mem- ber of long standing now living in Toronto, and the theme song was “School Days". A number of the members were dressed in school day costumes and all brought their lunches in the tin lunch pails, remin- iscent of days spent at the little red school house. Prize winners were Mrs. A. Snider and Mrs. Nixon. The roll call was answered by some use for salt and proved very inter- esting and instructive. The papers for the day were given by Mrs. M. Palmer and Mrs. W. Hoiles and there were solos by Miss Myrtle Keffer, community singing and other bright features. On behalf of the Institute Mrs. J. Manning read an address and Mrs. T. Cousins made the presentation of a beautiful umbrella to Mrs. H. C. Bailey one of the institute’s oldest members who is now living in To- ronto. The address was as follows: Dear Mrs. Bailey: We the members of the Maple Women's Institute feel we cannot let you go from our midst without show- ing in some way our appreciation for your past good work and faith- fulness to our Society and the com- munity. As a token of our high re- gard we are asking you to accept this gift and we hope and pray you may be long spared to enjoy it. Signed on behalf of the Institute and Committee: Mrs. J.

According to W. M. Cockburn, Agri- cultural Representative, who had two inter-county teams competing, the plowmen of'York carried off the great majority of the trOphies off- ered as top prizes, including what might be called the grand champ- ionship of a trip to Great Britain to visit the Matches there.

Brown of Galt, has been provided by the Salada Tea Company but will probably have to be held‘ over until after the war.

Dewan gold watch, Leslie Smith of Gormley 6th and Herb Jar- vis of Milliken, 12th. On Thursday, Herb plowed in the open class for all ages and won the Fleury-Bissell special. On Friday three of the bOys plowed in the under 18 class and Bert Irwin won again, this time the Moffat Dunlop gold watch, while Herb Jarvis was 4th and Leslie Smith 6th Bert Irwin also won the 'Kiwanis Silver Tray for best land plowed in stubble by a boy 16 and under.

OCTOBER 20 - 21 ON NELLIE’S HAT" ALLEY ” ‘ OBITUARY LATE EDWARD F. ROBINSON Edward F. Robinson of Richmon' Hill, only son of Francis J. Robinsor and the late Mrs. Robinson, met inâ€" stant death shortly past midnight last Saturday when the car he was driving crashed into the rear of a heavy truck at the north end of the village. The sad fatality cast a gloom over the entire community where “Cap” as he was popularly known. had a host of friends who sincerely mourn his sudden passing. Born in the village he attended pubâ€" lic and high school here and then worked for a time in the Canadian Bank of Commerce. Later he gave up his position in the bank to go into the insurance business in which he was very successful. and he carâ€" ried on in this work until his death. Thirty-four years of age his untimeâ€" ly death cut short a promising career and removes another of Rich- mond Hill’s well known business men. He was a devoted member of ‘ St. Mary’s RC. Church and. Requiem High Mass was held in the church Tuesday morning at 10 a.m. by Rev. Edward Keane, parish priest, and interment followed in St. Luke’s cemetery, Thornhill. The pall bear- ers were: F. L. Gibbons, Ambrose Canning, William McQuillan, V. IVIC' Cullough, William Cosgr0ve, all of Richmond Hilll and Tracey Shaw of Toronto. Left to mourn his passâ€" ing besides his father who is seri- ously ill in Toronto are three sisâ€" ters, Mary and Agnes in Toronto and Mrs. Leslie Reardon of Rich- mond Hill. To the bereaved family The Liberal extends sincerest sym- pathy.
