Last year 11 voluntary workers found the children, who numbered 108 alto- gether, responsive to the program, which was prepared by the Nat- ional committee of Christian Ed- ucation. Robertson Lodge Ladies Auxil- iary have held euchres regularly all Winter when four members were hostesses at each party. On May 2, the final game of the sea- son was held, Scores were tall- ied for all the games and special prizes were provided to the lady and gentleman who won the high- est score. The lady’s prize was won by Mrs. Fred Boys. Fred Hare was winner of the gentleman’s special prize. 1 Last year, during the two weeks of July that the Vacation School was in progress, the religious ed- ucation centred around the mean- ing and the signficance of the church. This year, the program is to teach the Bible and how to use it. The 1951 missionary pro- ject aimed at an understanding of the blind. This year the project will aim at an understanding of the need of the scriptures to be written in every language. The King City Wrestling Club have been invited to be part of the sporting show that is being sponsored in Richmond Hill on May 24.

The clothing '3 :rl "can made and collected for the missionary outposts during me “.41; was on disfilay, and the roll call was answered by each member giving the name of an outpost where these, and other gifts, had been sent. Chapman, Roddy Bell and Glen Judd. J. Lambert of Maple, Who is vice president of the district Presby- terial, was present. Miss Minnie Walker brought several friends from Richmond Hill and several visitors from Toronto, were pres- ent. Miss Edna Jacques of Clarkson, well known poet and ‘story teller, was the speaker at a real country style tea, when over 85 people came to hear her recite her poems and stories, recently, at Teston United Church. The speaker of the afternoon was Mrs. Houston of Victoria Square, who was a nurse at Nel- son House in Northern Manitoba, when her husband was a mission- ary of the United Church there. Musical numbers by Mrs. Gordon Orr, Mrs. Jack Clift and Mrs. Ew- art Patton was enjoyed. The pret- ty tea table was centred by yell- ow snapdragons and yellow can- dles, and was presided over by Mrs. M. R. Jenkinson. WMrs. P. The tea was arranged by the flower committee of the W.A., who are Miss Florence Gooderham, Mrs. Elmer Hadwin and Mrs. Hen- ry Stevenson. A silver collection of about $45.00 was taken, in aid of the flower committee’s work. Others who contributed to the program were Mrs. Charles Rob- son, who sang, Barbara Coutts, Jean Williamson and Betty O’- Brien, who played piano trios. The Misses Jones and Marilyn Lloyd of Hope also played piano trios. The Sunday School room was dec- orated with spring flowers and the tea tables had small bouquets plac- ed on each. A wonderful tea was served which will probably inspire Miss Jacques to write a poem. Mrs. Mark Gillham, who was born in Kinghorn 92 years ago, passed away on her birthday at a rest home in Windsor, on Sunday, May 11. She was Matilda May, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joel Hollinshead, and spent most of her life in this neighborhood. With her husband and family she lived for many years on the farm now worked by Henry Gillhem, until retiring to their home in Aurora. F0“ “1'; past three years she had lived with her daughters, Mrs. Gladstone Rowley of Leamington and Miss Stella Gillham of Windsor. Two sons also survive, Harper Gillham of Ottawa and Percy Gillham of Detroit. The funeral took place from Aurora on Wednesday and burial was made in King City Cemetery. Dee, son of Mr. and Mrs. C. M.

He flew to San Antonio, Texas, from Detroit Mon- day to begin his eight weeks basic training, I @hituatp l JOINS UNITED STATES AIR FORCE I By Mrs. ( This is the first of two ar- ticles on the History of the Buttonville Women’s Institute as compiled by Mrs. George Kelly on the occasion of that organization’s 25th anniver- sary. Twenty-five years ago, April 21, 1927, a tiny seed was planted. It was springtime, growing time, so the seed took root. It grew into !a branch, a branch of the East York Women‘s Institute, and wa5| ‘called the Buttonville Junior Wo- men’s Institute. The little branch was sponsored and encouraged to 'rrow by Mrs. R. L. Stiver and the district president, Mrs. Graves. Chosen as the first president was Mrs. Douglas Hood and Viola Walker 'became the first secretary. lThe first meeting was held at Mrs. IWm. Brown’s and Mrs. R. L. Stiv- yer was the speaker. Her subject iwas “Happiness by Duty". She said happiness is a habit which lanyone may acquire by perserver- Iance. There were 29 members thatrfirst year, five of whom have been members each of the 25 years. For long and faithful service we ‘are greatly indebted to Mrs. Jas. .Rodick, our secretary. There is no one like her. She is just Jan- et. She and Drew Boyington who ' was president for the longest time were each presented with life memberships. On May 13, Mr. R. Young who is the Assistant Director of PhYSi- cal Education gave a very inter- esting- demonstration of physical training suitable for rural schools, using 20 children from Concord school aspart of Vaughan Tea- chers Association monthly meet- mg. On the afternoon of May 23, the senior and junior rooms of Con- cnrd School will combine to put on a presentation in honor of Em- pire Day. All parents are invited to attend. On June 18, the Vaughan Teach- ers Association is holding a Field Day open to the schools in the township at Don Eddy Park. “Elmer” is still flyihg over Con- cord school and “keeping an eye" on the children as they walk to and from school. This month the children of Con- cord School were privileged to see during their monthly showing “Newfoundland Scene,” 3 film which last month won an award as one of the best Canadian films produced this year. Mrs, Alice Aitken returned to her home in Pasqua, Sask., last week after spending the winter with her sister, Mrs. John Bone. Miss Marion Poole and her fi- ance, Mrs. Harold Drewery of Stouffville were Sunday tea and Let us look back over the years and see how this was accomplish- ed. A great deal of money had to be raised, and this meant work, courage and perseverence, but lit, tln b" 1"”18 the money accumulat- ed, In the early years' an annual . . - and traweerry Fes- ival was held. Twelve of these garden parties yielded $982. Tm menu consisted of cold ham, po- tato salad, cabbage salad, pickles, jellies, strawerries and cream, bread and butter, cake, tarts and tea. After supper a concert, us- ually consisting of a play and mu- sical numbers was held. Several hundreds attended each year. How much did our institute charge? Just 35c adults and 20c for c. .ild- ren for supper and concert. That was not so very long ago, but the food prices Were very different than they are today. In 1940 strawberries cost 10c 3 qt., the ham was purchased at Stoufl‘viUe for 18c-20c 3 lb.,' coffee ws 50c 1b., sugar 7c 3 lb. and bread 10c a loaf. “ ' l '1 "“v branch of the W. I. would be able to celebrate its 25th ...,l_.»_w-,' m a community hall, erected by their own efforts, aid- ed by free labour of men of the community. Euchres and dances were held in Victoria Square and Unionville halls. These provided good enter- tainment and slowly added $1700 to our savings. The highest membership was in 1932-33 when there were sixty tn the roll. Today there are 34. In May 1934 we became a Senior In- stitute. Little did anyone think An autograph quilt realized over $100. Mrs. Hill was an expert at keeping us busy with quilting 'bees. Some quilts were raffled, some sold, others we were paid to quilt. Approximately $600 vvas raised from this quilt business. Our one and only bazaar netted $284. When our hall was opened in January 1942, other methods of raising money became available. Chief of these has been catering to banquets and weddings. There is work attached to these too but aside from the monetary consider- ation there is the satisfaction of knowing that we are rendering a real service to such organizations as the Milk Producers, the Mark- ham Fair Board, local hockey clubs and other groups where such a gathering is desirable and bene- ficial. These have netted $3727.. We also tested our ability at presenting plays. Our first play CORRESPONDENT: Mrs. Raymond Stuart, R. R. 1, Maple Telephone Maple 110R3 History Of The Buttonville Womens’ Institute CONCORD NEWS Geo. Kelly | “The Secret Society of Cabbage- ville,” was given 18 times, the most distant presentations being at Oshawa, Udora, and Bramp‘ ton. Our second play, which was prepared rather late in the season was given 7 times. This was a splendid method of getting ae- ; quainted with the people of neigh- ’I boring towns and villages. We had So we built our hall, bricked it and added a kitchen. We hope to have it painted soon. Russ Creigh- ton’s orchestra provided the music for the opening dance and the hall lwas packed to capacity. A month :later, February 12, a banquet was held for all who had helped so freely. That night we were shock- ed to hear of the sudden passing of Mrs. R. L. Stiver. Any living thing, in order to survive must be useful. Even so, this branch of the Women’s Insti- tute has survived, not because of the money raised but because it has been of service to the community and country. This has been dem- onstrated in awards to the schools, gifts of toys, clothing and candy Ito the Orange Home and the Chil- *-~‘~ A”) Donations have been sent to the British War Victims’ , , Minn-.1135 Lheer for Brit- ish Children, Neighbourhood Wor- lkers, Star Fresh, Air Fund, and iNorthern Ontario relief. evening guests of Mr. and Mrs James Bagg of Edgeley. We understand that the Dept. of Highways is planning to elim- inate the corner at Dufferin and No. 7 Highway on the south side by making a small cut-off on each side of Dufferin St. In that case the Madill szos, Service Station will be moved back about 20 feet to make way for the new road curve. In a family there are always many occasions 'to celebrate. Birthdays, anniversaries, hume- comings provide goodly number of them during the year. However when it comes to birthdays, the George Poole family has a con- centration 90f them in May. Mrs. Poole celebrated her birthday on May 16, Gordon on the 18th, Nor- ma, the 2lst and Ken on the 24th. Others celebrating birthdays this week are Mrs. D. Nuttall, on May 18; Bobby Slater, his very first one on May 24; Mrs. Vic Pal- mer, May 25 and Charlie Witney May 26. Many happy returns of the day to all of you. ‘ Mrs. W. J. Buchanan visited with her daughter, Mrs. W. Whittaker in Palmerston on Thursday. Miss J. Clements spent the week-end with her aunt and uncle Mr. and Mrs. Darlington. a lot of fun and at the same-time made a little profit, approximately $500. The attendance and interest shown by the'members at the last regular meeting of the Richmond Hill Branch N0. 375'Uanadian Le- gion in the Legion Memorial Hall, Carrville Rd., Tues., May 13 was very encouraging and very active season of social events is being ar- ranged.
