Maple, 001152111 8: Edgeley Districts Largei Congregations Attend lâ€"leTW. Harold Young Speaks At Maple United Anniversary Two exceptionally large con- gregations were in attendance at the 85th anniversary services in Maple United Church on Sun- day, and the occasion proved to be a time of rich inspiration and joy for members and adherents of the congregation and many friends from near and far. At the morning hour the guest preacher was Rev. W. Harold Young, D.D., LL D., Secretary of the Board of Colleges and Sec- ondary Schools of The United Church of Canada, who spoke on the subject, “I believe in the church". Basing his remarks on the words of Christ. “Thou art Peter and upon this rock I will build my church." Dr. Young made an impassioned appeal to his hearers to support this great institution, God-ordained, Christ- inspired and the only organiza- tion in the world furthering a gospel and a ministry by which alone the world could be saved from its sin and its hate, its wars and its tragedies. The choir of Maple Church, under the direc- tion of Mrs. Roy Clegg rendered the anthem, “0 Worship the Lord" by A. Hollins and Stanley Harper, guest soloist from West- minister United Church, Westâ€" on, lnspired the congregation in tWo solo numbers, “Come Unto Me”, by Bliss and "Beside The Still Waters," by Silva. At the evening hour. the church auditorium proved to be too small for the congregation which overflowed into the nar- thex and the Sunday School room. In the absence of Rev. W. Stuart MacLeod of Stratford who was to have been the Anniv- 1870 - 1.955 Maple United Church Marks 85th Anniversary Eighty-five years old last Sun-- day. the Maple United Church cant well be proud of its long and turbulent history and slow but gradually increasing growth to better serve the members of its congregation. From its openâ€" ing services in December 1870, to its special services last Sun- day, the church has changed and grown in stature through the yegrs. The history of the present Maple church goes back to Octo ber 26. 1869. when a meeting was held in the vestry of the old Sherwood church to decide on a new church building. A faction was present at the meeting that insisted the new church be built at Maple instead of Sherwood. The matter was left at that until the quarterly board meeting that fall in Thornhill. At the meet- ing. the decision to build at Map- le was ratified and a half acre site donated by J. C. McQuarry was confirmed. On February 16, 1870. the first tender was received for the cr- ection of the church and on June 16, that same year. the Rev. .M. Puncher laid the cornerstone of the building. The first services were conducted on Wednesday and Thursday of the last week in December. To pay for the cost of the church, the members of the par- ish pledged to pay a certain am~ ount of money each week for a five or ten year period and by 1879 the church was completely‘ paid for. At the time of its construction. the Maple churcn was part of the Thornhiii circuit. but it was later divided and made into a circuit that included Ed- geley, Concord. Hope and Carr- viile, with two ministers alter. nating each week to serlvice the circuit. , The year 1875 was a banner year in the church history with many changes and improvements being noted. The first parson- age was built in that year and a committee was formed to obtain a choir. organist and choir 1eai~ er. That same year saw the planting of ten chestnut trees on the church pro; erly and it is in- teresting to note that these same trees. now grown to maturity, will have to be cut down or mov- ed to make way for a planned ex- tension of the church. In 1879. the church was all paid for and the year 1883 rolled around before more exciting ev- ents happened. In that year the church choir alternately moved PRESCRIPTIONS AND Drug Store Needs AT Perry’s Pharmacy Maple King City 164 164 The Liberal is always wiln contributed by its readers in Maple ls Mrs. Duuatd ; Maple.

Donald prea- ched on the subject,vChristian Service. basing his remarks on the words of Jesus, “He hath sent me to heal the broken heart- ed, to preach deliverance to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind. to set at liberty them that are bruised". A fea- ture of this service was the sing- ing of the senior choir from St. John’s United Church, Stratford, under the direction of Gordon D. Scott. A.C.C.O. Anthems chosen for the regular service ‘were “Sing and Rejoice,” by James, and “Come. 0 Blessed ‘Lord. Thou Light of Life," by Tschaikowsky. John Boyden. ‘baritone. was heard in the num- ber, “Blessed Are They That Dwell In Thy House," by Maur- ice Green. ‘ , Following the regular service the Stratford choir presented a half hour of sacred music. In ad- dition to a number of anthems, solos were rendered by Mrs. Neil McConnell, soprano. Betty Chen- ey, contralto and John Boyden. baritone. The church auditorium was beautifully decorated with large baskets of fall flowers for the special services. and special gifts were received as a thank- offering. Members of the visiting choir were entertained in the homes of members of the congregation for supper. and before leaving for home they were the guests of the members of the Woman‘s As- sociatlon. in behind the minister in the church and then back out again. That same year saw the con- struction of the Sunday School with the brick work costing $480. and the carpentry work costing $505.. for a total cost of $985. The church pews were also cush- ioned in that year and carpeting was laid on the floor of some of the pews. In 1887, a caretaker was em- ployed at a cost of $80. a year. In 1888 the 'church borrowed money for the first time since its construction. In that same year an oyster supper was held for the congregation with half the proceeds going to help the Sun‘ day school. The year 1895 saw‘ the install- ation of a furnace in the church and in 1901, a metal ceiling was put in the church and general al- terations and repairs made throughout. In 1910, an Estey Reed Organ was purchased and installed in the church. This or- gan lasted until 1953 when it was replaced by a Hammond organ. At the time the Estey organ was installed some further alterations and repairs were made to the church. Further alterations. renova- tions and redecorating took place in 1926 and a new furnace was installed in that same year. Ex- tensive remodelling also took place in 1943, at which time new pews were installed along with a communion table, lectern, pul- pit and carpeting at a total cost of $6,000. Through the years, three memorial windows \verz placed in the church and in 1953 a new Hammond organ was pur- chased and installed in the church. The present pastor, Rev. A. G. Donald, came to Maple a year ago from Stratford to succeed Rev. P. G. Lambert who served for four years. At present there are over 200 members in the par- ish and with the increased growth of the area, the parish is growâ€" ing gradually. To keep up with the growth of the area. a finan- cial campaign was held recently with the proceeds going to erect a religious education building next to the church. Work is to begin in the spring on this new structure Unit Holsteins Average $444.

Let's start with bulbs. Being amateurs. it‘s best we select the easy-to-grow varieties. and bypass the complications of soil preparations by purchasing bulbs that grow well in pebbles, sand, moss or just plain tap wa- ter. Potting soil or fibre may be bought from your local florist or nurseryman. _ .n You may choose any one of the fragrant beauties such as nar- cissus. daffodils, tulips. crocus, hyacinths and lily-of-the-valley, yes. these_are but a few. No need to point out the ad- vantage of putting the correct bulbs in the right pot or bowl, taking into consideration if they are to be used again, given as gifts or gis_carded. n , 1 ,,‘4_. Your choice of bulbs and color may be controlled by the con- tainer you have on hand or pick up while shopping around. the deeper the bowl the better. Bulbs, planted too shallow top- ple over if the weight of their leaves is not balanced by the weight of their roots. It is not safe to rely too much on a planting schedule since the variations in temperature make each house different. Lily of the valley should bloom in about a month and a half after planting, early crocus and hyacinths re- quire in the neighbourhood of two months. By shifting potted bulbs from a Warmer to a cooler location you speed up or delay the bloom- ing, considering whether you want to give bulbs or bloom as a gift. . . LUMI- Funds for operating the York” County health unit come from three main sources. In 1955. York County Council budgeted $57,000.00, which will be match- ed dollar for dollar by the Prov- incial Government. In addition, direct Federal Health grants, for special services, amount to ap- proximately $28,000.00. A fourth source of funds, plumbing inspec- tion fees, enables the operation of the plumbing inspection pro- gram to continue on a self- sustaining basis apart from other health unit services. Funds For Health Unit FrOm Three Main Sources Thus the local taxpayer sup- plies only $57,000.00 directly to the York County Health Unit, or less than 83 cents per person for the entire year. In comparison with other full-time health ser- vices throughout the province. this is considered to be an amaz- ingly low operating figure. A full-time health service, op- erating 24 hours a day, with specially-trained medical ofi‘ic- ers, public health nurses and san- itary inspectors, such as the York County Health Unit provides, would be virtually impossible for any local municipality to provide because of the high local costs. Local high costs are avoided by a "co-operative" health unit be- tween a number of mimicipalit- ies. For example, take the largâ€" est municipality and the biggest contributor to. the York County Health Unit, the township of Markham, which will contribute through County Council approx- imately $9,000.00 in 1955 for the health unit. If Markham townâ€" ship attempted to supply the same service on an equal scale to the York County Health Unit, it would involve three public health nurses, one sanitary in- spector. one medical officer of health, a plumbing inspector, and other personnel and facili- ties amounting to a conservative estimate of more than $17,000.00. Markham township gets all these services and more for approxim- ately $9,0000.00.
