School News Concord Public School has made its mark in the Kiwanis Music Festival again this year, with every choir entered getting a first or second prize. First priz- es were awarded to the Triple Trio for the selection “Fairies in the Grove”; Grades 5 and 6 choir for “Flow Gently. Sweet Afton”; Grades 1 and 2 choir for “Have You Seen the Fairies?" The senior choir received second prize for “Sweet Less of Rich- mond Hill", and the Grade 3 and St. Stephen's W.A. held their May meeting at the home of Mrs. A.

Maple's George Bailey School did very well at the York Music Festival held at Woodbridge last week. The Junior Chior, of grades 2 to 5 won third prize, while the first graders came out first in competition with two other class- es, and the senior choir won first prize in competition with four other classes. Unfortunately the time table at the festival was greatly delayed, so that the trip- le trlo had to wait for over two hours, unable to sit down. Thus they were very tired by the time their turn came and obtained fourth prize only. 4 choir also received second prize for “With a Rum Tum." Congrat- ulations to the pupils for a won- derful performance that makes Concord very proud. Piano Recital . . St. Stephen's Junior Auxiliary has now divided into two groups.

Sunday School Anniversary Maple United Church was well filled on Sunday morning for the occasion of the annual Sunday School anniversary service. The guest speaker was Rev. Arnold Foster, Associate Secretary of the Christian Education Council for Ontario ,who brought a most in- teresting and inspiring message to both the boys and girls and older members of the congrega: tion built around the theme. “You are writing a gospel." M. J. Kin- nee. General Superintendent of the school assisted the minister of the church, Rev. A. G. Donald in conducting the service, and a Sunday School choir, under the direction of Mrs. Joseph Worrall and Mrs. Norman Payne sang very sweetly the anthem, Little Sunbeams. Miss Marilyn Watson presided at the organ console. It was announced that the Sunday School teachers and officers will meet on Friday night at 8.30 o'clock to make arrangements for the annual Sunday School picnic and to deal with other business. A very successful rummage sale, and sale of home made bak- ing were held in the Christian Education Centre of. Maple Uni- ted Church on Saturday after- noon ,under the auspices of Mrs. Lloyd Palmers and Miss May Evans’ groups of the WA.

Mother s Day Mother's Day services were held In Hope and Edgeley United Churches on Sunday and fine con- gregations were in attendance at both churches. Mr. Donald’s theme was “A Woman Who Was Truly Great.” the story of the Shunamite woman who befriend- ed the Prophet Elisha. and there- by received hls highest commen- dation.

Gladys Castonguay played “Song of the See-Saw”. and David Mills played “Solo for Cello". A duet “Buzzing of the Bumble Bee" was played by Jean and Linda Gilbert. Parents were invited to attend the recital and those who did so were able to take great pride in their own children's efforts and enjoy also the other pupils' work. Bake Sale The Mothers' Auxiliary of the Guides and Brownies held its bake sale on Saturday, May 10. Despite the nasty weather in the morning, the girls went bravely forth to sell their wares. In no time everything was sold. and unfortunately some home were not visited. One resident suggest- ed that a sale of this kind should take place every Saturday morn- ing, but the Auxiliary probably has other ideas on that subject. Everyone found prices to be very reasonable and the home baking was exceptionally good. The Aux- iliary made a sizeable profit and is to be praised for its efforts. formed on May 7th, but is prog- ressing very favourably now and expects to be home this weekâ€"end. Her friends and neighbours wish her a speedy recovery. Last Sunday Mr. and Mrs. Dlnty Campbell and their daught- ers Helen. Heather and Susan, of Alliston and Mr. J. LaRiviere had dinner with Mr. and Mrs. W. Park and Miss A. Couper, and Mr. and Mrs. W. Park with Ron- nie and Sandra from Willowdale called on the Parks during the afternoon. We are glad to know Mrs. M. B. Jackson (Pete) is home again after a stay in Midland Hospital following a fall while on a fish- ing trip. Pete is getting on nicely now, though still resting in bed. Although off to a good start by winning an exhibition game, the Concord Men's Team has not been so lucky in its league games so far. On Tuesday. May 6. they were defeated by Woodbridge 21- 5, and Thursday. May 8. they bowed to Clairville 15-7. These unforunate results should en- courage every player to turn out to practice on Sunday afternoon. Thursday. May 15. Concord plays at Pine Grove and we hope to see a good crowd out to cheer the team. A little moral support won‘t do the boys any harm. and maybe it will help to change their luck. Socials Mr. and Mrs. David Bart'on. of Beverley Acres. visited their cau- sin. Mr. John Witney, on Satur- day evening. Mr. and Mrs. Tracy Melerson of Toronto visited Mr. and Mrs. Bollnd Henderson over the weekâ€" A very interesting, though sparsely attended meeting was held by the Maple Community & School Club on Wednesday, May 7th.

There were 22 for- est districts in Ontario, and in the Lake Simcoe District there were 35 to 40,000 acres of county forest, one of the largest in Southern Ontario, which ‘was turned over to the Department for management. The Department plants trees and looks after these forests. This spring 875,000 trees. mostly evergreens. are being planted. and some planting also takes place during the fall. The Department also helps farmers look after their wood lots to the best economical advantage and carries out education programs with public and high schools and groups 1"“ this Community & School Club.
