PAGE EIGHT THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO _â€"____’______________________._N “ Thornhill District News Old Time Dance Nets $123 For -â€"-Neil McDonald, SS. Supt. For Ten Years, With Presentationâ€"Red British War Victims Fund Honored Cross Hold Annual Meet- ingâ€"J. A. Thompson Heads Horticulturists _______â€"â€"â€"â€"â€" The Old Tyme Dance held last Friday evening at Lawrence Memâ€" orial Hall by the old boys of Thornâ€"l hill was even a greater success than even the most enthusiastic looked for. Billy MacDonald's orchestra was in tip top form and young and and wa old alike Were dancing in fine style beirng directed by the caller, Mr. Bill Walker. During the course of the evening tickets were sold on a well decorated hamper of groceries of which Mrs. Mike Pickett was the lucky winner. The amount realized on- the hanuper was $16.00. A die- lightiful surprise to the crowd was a visit from Morgan Baker who was kind enough to take time and give a short talk in connection. with the cause for which tie dance was be- ing sponsored. Old timens from But- tonville, Elgin Milis, Richmond Hill, Victoria Square, Maple and many 'other of the surrounding districts were on hand and Scotch reels and real old square dances were dancod like they haven't been danced in Thornhill for the past number of years, which all goes to prove that some of the older folk can still put us to shame at their own game. Mrs. M. Patton 3rd Mr. Ed Fran- cis were winners of prizes for being the oldest lady andl gentleman in at- 'tend'anoe. Credit is to be given to the mem- bers of the committee, their associ- ‘ates and- helpers for the splendid may in which their dance was con- !duoted and for the delicious lunch "they were able to serve with the willing help of the ladies. The total proceeds, amounting to $126, were forwarded to the Brit- ish War Victims Fund. ,It is thought that by popular deâ€" mand another rid tyme dance will soon be sponsored for this same pur- pose, so watch your Liberal for fur- ther notice. We are very sorry to learn that Master Billy Mac-Donald is suffering from a severe cut in’the foot ob- tained by an axe and will be unable to take part in the Operetta “The Princess of Poppyland'" being given by the pupils of "he Thornhill Pub- llic School on Thursday and Friday evenings in Lawrence Memorial Hall. Master Jimimie Spring will fill Billie’s role. On Wednesday evening last a de- lightful party was held by a num- ber of boys at the home of Mrs. R. Campbell in honour of Clayton Scott who is now training at Manning Pool, Toronto. On this occasion Mr. Scott was the recipient of a lovely Money belt with which went the good wishes of his many friends.

Miss Geraldine Wesley rthen gave a delightful address in which she thanked Mr. and Mrs. Me- 'Donaildl for the wonderful way they have oontrilbuted to the work of the Sunday School in unceasing willing- ness to lend a helping hand at all times.

These rules were birding and strict but evidently good for any group as the association ap- parently has spent its 50 years in harmony and co-opcration. Mr. Mit- chell Hadiwen, 86, is the only charâ€" ter member living and he put the first beef into the ring. Mr. Had- wen was honoured by the associa- tion with a fine pipe and can of tobacco. More than 900 lbs. of beef have been eaten since 1891 but iron- ically enough the banquet table was laden with well cooked fowl and all the trimmings. Councillor Walking- ton gave a historical outline of the Ring, while the President, Mr. Wm. Bryson and several other members made comments. Mr. Thos. Smelt- zen was the second oldest memlber present with Mr. Berwick Weldrick running in third place. The 150 guests were entertained by Bob Grace, musician from Tomnto.
