Ross Doan Home and School There was a splendid turnout for the annual meeting of the Ross Doan Home and School meeting on Monday evening. Police Constable Nugent gaVe a safety talk and showed a film on accidents. He reported that since the first of January there have been 40 accidents with 20 people hurt and property damage am- ounting to $90,000.00 on side roads alone. in Vaughan Town- ship. He stressed that parents should teach their children that the policeman is their friend. He cited an instance where a child who had been molested was too afraid of the policeman to tell him. He said there is a safety school in Newmarket where drivers in- volved in minor infractions of the Ontario Highways Act can learn correct driving procedures. At present the school's capacity is limited but it is hoped that it can be extended. The decisions went to groups rather than to individuals and the names that appear below belong to “Sixes” of Brownies. “The Little People" won the traphy for the evening. "The Kelpies“ won the banner competition. "The Gnomes" were second, “The Lit- tle People were third.

The events were judged by Past Commissioner Mrs. Eileen Paul. and Past Packee Miss Paul- ine Paul. It seems that chinchillas like sandbaths. and Frank Henke showed me the fine, almost white, sand that he uses for their baths. The little animals make bathing fun: they roll in the fine sand and do a lot of kicking. Then they proudly fluff their fur and separate the hairs. "One of the reasons their fur is so valuable is the fact that from a single root come as many as 60 hairs,” Mr. Henke told me. “And the fur can never be truly imitated because of the varia- tions in shades of color from the top to the roots.” Mr. Henke showed me the underfur part of the hair, which is an attractive bluish-grey color. “Density and length of fur is important too." he pointed out. “AlsoI it is necessary to have an evenly colored coat that is not streaky or blotchy." as they originally flourished in the semi-arid regions of the An- des in Peru, Bolivia, Chile and Argentina. They belong to the rodent fam- ily, but the cuddly chinchillas I saw next door reminded me of bunnies with their whiskers and light soft fur. But‘ chinchilla fur stands straight up. "Biby chinchillas are born with their eyes open,” Mr. Henke told me. “And they have teeth and fur." Frank Henke's interest in anâ€" imals began when he was a child back in Hamburg, Germany. But it was in April. 1955, when Mr. and Mrs. Henke arrived in Can- ada to look for a suitable place to start their chinchilla ranch. In early summer of 1957 they bought a home and two acres on the Jefferson townline. Down cellar, in their round wire cages about 24" high, the chinchillas set up housekeeping, and are set- tling down very nicely to rural life. Being naturally clean. and having no body odor, they are suitable‘fo‘r indoor raising. Within a few hours after birth this surprisingly strong young- ster next door was running ar- ound on the bare wire floor. In a day or so it was nibbling at food. However, both chinchilla parents are responsible folk and give much care to their new baby. Chinchillas require Jay at- mosghere and nprt too much heat Since Frank Henke and his wife moved to Jefi‘erson a few months ago, a baby chinchilla has made her appearance. I dropped over to see the new arrival. and what a fluffy little darling she ls! â€" not at all nervous of meeting strangers either. “We bought a pair of chinchil- las when we first arrived." Mr. Henke told me. “Now we have seven,” his attractive wife. Eve, added. by Loraine Porter Mr. and Mrs. Frank Henke of Pugh Oak Ranch, my new neigh- bors in Jefferson, came to Can- ada two years ago from Ham- burg, Germany, to establish a chinchilla ranch.

With 67 animals in her home I quite envied Mrs. Henke's ser- enity as she poured coffee for us, while I listened to my pet re- triever barking loudly for his afternoon walk. The nice thing about chinchillas and hamsters is the fact that they exercise them- selves. I’m proud that Mr. and Mrs. Henke came from Germany to choose Vaughan Township as the ideal spot for their ranch, High Oaks. And with chinchillas and hamsters next door, I'll have quiet, friendly neighbors for “It is the cheek pouch'that sets the hamsters apart from other animals," Frank Henke explain- ed.
