Comedy was provided in the form of Walter Pryce and Keith Mackenzie, buckets of water and brooms, plus two people with a terrific sense of comedy always make for a lot of fun. Diane Hayes dressed in a delightful champagne coloured costume, then gave the fiirst solo of the evening. It was executed'in a flawless manner and received much aplause from the audience. Sand Paper Ballet with all the girls dressed in blue and white was most effective. and full marks go tothis group for their perfect timing. Two small boys then showed that advanced figure skating was not only for the girls, when they gave an execllent in- trepretation of Me and My Shad- ow. The lilting tune of the Straus‘ Waltz was the theme music for the Merry Widow Waltz. The cos- tumes in this sequence were par- ticularly' lovely, the hooped skirts lending much to the gracefulness of the performance. Great credit The opening number appropri- ‘ately named Curtain Time was most attractive with all the skat- ers in their bright blue costumes, giving an excellent start to the second Richmond Hill Ice Carni- val. Then came the polished per- formance of the Skating Four, Marion Bales, Barbara Bain, Mary Gibson and Ruth Percival. skating with rhythmic precision and incidentally with obvious signs of sheer enjoyment in every movement. The younger children of the club then presented Toy- land on Ice. This number was undoubtedly the star group per- formance of the evening and one that completely captivated the audience. Led by Ian Ross as the Toymaker, the performers were all between the ages of 4 and 7 years old and skating skill took second place to a grim de- termination to get to the right spot on the ice whether in up- right or horizontal position. Baby Dolls started the sequence, dres- ed very prettily in pink and blue dresses with large bows in their hair. Then came the Teddy bears in various colours checked jump- ers, followed veryysmartly by the Toy, Soldiers. The 3ack in the Boxes then came to life, getting in and out of their boxes with the able assistance of the Toy- maker. One amusing incident in this dance was when one small boy didn‘t get down in the box quite quickly enough, and was very nearly helped down by the lid! Now for the ‘tail’ of the mon- keys â€" roars of good humour-ed laughter greeted the unrehearsed comedy act of one small monkey losing his tail to an even smaller monkey ,who appeared to be hanging on to it for dear life! Then the tail-less one managed to grab the tail of the last monk- ey in the line leaving his friend with a tail in his hand but no where to go! LIMITED 2 S'ronas Bichvalo - Stop 21A Yong. 88.

The second annual 'Ice Carnival is now a memory. All those many weeks‘of patient endeavour and hard work were rewarded on Friday and Saturday night of last week by the e thusiastic, spontaneous and sincere applause from a lit rally packedhouse. _ To begron to describethe Sell-out Crowd Enjoys Town Skating; Carnival “Ml". Reserved for final mention is the solo by the tremendously popular Chuck Kiel. As usual, this was the sort of sparkling presentation we have come to ex- pect from this silver medallist, perfect in every detail anu.a JIL- ting prelude to the Grand Finale. It is probably appropriate at this stage to mention the t r * amount of hard work that Mr. Kiel put into this Carnival, Ior not only did he instruct the per- formers, but also did the choreog- raphy and designed the breath- .taking costumes. The warm en- thuiastic cheer he received from the children alone ,showed their appreciation not only of his skill as a skater, but also his untiring patience as an instructor. It goes without saying that a Carnivai of this type can only be presented as a result-of a lot of unselfish effort by many willing workers. Prominent among these are the Court Mothers who were respon- sible not only for their individual group of performers, but also for many other tasks without which the Carnival would not have been the resounding success it was. Many other fathers and mothers assisted in various way ranging from such things as programmes, publicity and make_up to light- ing costumes and decoration. Commentating throughout the Carnival was ably handled by Mr. Zack Passmore who competed with poor accoustics in an excel- lent manner. A sincere thank you to all performers and help- ers for a most enjoyable evening. The York County Seed Fair as advertised elsewhere in this is~ sue of “The Liberal" will hold its 2lst show in the Newmarket wan Hall on Wednesday next, March 20, with a very popular speaker for the afternoon programme,‘ Mr. D. L. Parks of the Kemp t- ville Agricultural School. As Sup - erintendent of the Field Husband- ry Dept. with its grain and for- age experimental plots, and own- er of a farm near Kemptville he was well qualified to publish his book last year on “Successful Crop Production". York farmers will recall having heard his down- to- earth addresses at the Ontario Soil & Crop Improvement Con- vention in Toronto. As a one-day snow, the exhib- its are judged before noon and open for inspection at 1 o‘clock with the programme commencing at 2:15. After Mr. Park’s address, there will be a question period, followed by the auction sale of sealed ten bushel lots of register- ed oats and barley, mostly of the new dieease resistagt varieties. The Soil & Crop Improvement Association which sponsors the Seed Fair, has an all-time high record of nearly 400 members President of the Association is Bruce Snider of Maple, and Ag- ricultural Representative W. M. Cockburn of Newmarket is see. retary, to whom all entries for the Seed Fair should be sent. In addition to seeds, classes are pro- vided for corn, turnips, potatoes and four sections of hay. 21st Annual York Seed Fair March 20 WILLOWDALE : North York pol. ice tagged about 20 cars pal-“u outside Spring Garden publjc school recently while parents were attending a special educa- tion week “open house". Princi- pal E. A. Wall termed the tag- ging “not a friendly act”. Mardl Gras completed the 2nd half, the black costumes and at- tractive headdresses combined with alluring masks, created quite an authentic atmosphere. Rene Brunott and Friend con- tributed a most amusing dance, with the friend having rather a tough time‘ The Tyrolean Capers started the second halfâ€"this was per- formed by boys whose gay Tyro- lean costumes. plus their most authentic looking horses. and their skating skill made this Mr. ticularly interesting to watch. The Senior Court then showed what they could do in the way of pairs dancing. This was some- thing new to the Carnival rou- tine, and so faultless was the presentation that it was difficult to appreciate the fact that for mos of the performers this was the result of only a few evenings instruction, and reflects great credit on their leaders, Walter ,and Dianne Pryce. Autumn Leaves was another most colour- ‘ful sequence, all the skaters dressed in autumnal colours. The act was culminated by a solo by Charleen Smith who spun and jumped with a degree of perfec- tion ery rare in a girl of only 11 years. Truly a young lady worth watching. The French Maids gaily dressed in red and black uniforms with pert aprons and caps, gave a most enjoyable performance, particularly appre- ciated by the children. The next sequence Highland Swing was a most lively number, and caused quite a few appreciative whistles from their many admirers Wal- ter and Dianne Pryce treated the audience to an exhibition of various dances and they were so flawless in their execution that it seemed almost superflous to mention that they are holders of many Toronto Granite Club dancing titles. ‘must be given to the girls wear- ing these particular gowns as it must haveybeen very difficult to manipulate their feet under such a costume. The second solo per- formed by Jo Taylor, was as usual .a most finished perform- ance, thoroughly enjoyed by all. The York County Camp of Gid- eons are celebrating their tenth year of service to Richmond Hill and district citizens. It has been their goal to have the Scriptures in Bible and Testament form pla- ced in many local hospitals, schools, hotels, motels, prisons and other public institutions where the doors have been open- ed to them. This group of dedi- cated Christian business and pro- fessional men have been going about their appointed task, taking time out from their regular du- ties and they are pleased to re- port that over 2,000 Bibles and Testaments were placed in the schools of the County in 1956. Also in the spring of last year, close to 600 Hospital Testaments were dedicated and placed in the Green Acres Metro Home in .Newmarket. Further evidences of their progress are witnessed in the fact that since January 1956, over 400 Bibles were dedicated Supplies Ltd. RICHMOND HILL TU. 4-1851 AV. 5- “The interests of landowners and the welfare of the future generations of Ontario citizens need constant protection against the unplanned and prodical use of Ontario's land resources.” This comment was made by Mr. Lloyd Jasper, President of the Ontario Federationof Agriculture during an interview this week in answer to queries concerning how the Federation was attempting to deal with current public projects involving the extensive use of farm land. Mr. Jasper further stated that the organization he represented was by no means op- posed to projects which would be of real and lasting benefit to the people of Ontrio but warned that due regard should be given to the probable future land requireâ€" Over 2,000 Bibles Placed In County Schools |n_1_956_ He listed more than a dozen local organizations which have come somewhat under me \ung 0f the committee and explained the fact that certain expenses of these groups are eligible for grants from the province. He pointed out that during 1956 the committee handled $2790.99, without actually having any funds vested in itself and said that he felt this was an indication of the way the organization could dev- elop and of its importance in the community. On this amount hand- led in 1956, there will be a grant of $624.10. Mr. Butlin explained that the Committee hopes to establish new tennis courts, arrange £01- land for two supervised playgrounds, set up a senior citizens' club and aid in the formation of the boys’ club now under way. He pointed A considerable portion of this budget includes expenses of in- dividual organizations which are self- supporting While most of the groups raise their own funds the grouping of their total ex- penses under the Recreation Committee entitles them to granss they would not otherwise receive.

The York County Camp of Gi- deons‘ are also playing a part in the task of supporting the work of fellow Gideons in the new field of ministry opening up in Mexico and South Africa. This endeavour has been undertaken by the Gideons International in Canada with all local camps as- sisting with funds to send thou- sands of copies of the Scriptures to be distributed the same way as we do here in York County. Funds for the support of the ov- erall Gideon ministry are obtain- ed through Church Services con- ducted by qualified Gideon Lay- men in the leading congregations of the area. through the Gideon Memorial Bible Plan, grants from Church budgets, individual gifts and some 35% through Gideon membership contributions. “Aside from the question of public interest”, Mr. Jasper con- tinued, “It is the farmer himself who is directly involved and who must help to determine the course of action to be .taken by his organization as well as to de- cide what will be the minimum terms and the conditions under which he will provide rights of way by means of grants of ease- ments or by outright sale of pro- perty.
