Fitzgerald Down thmugh the Centuries two characteristics have remain- ed constant â€" the industry of the bees, and man’s interest in these clever insects, who, in their well organized Queendoms, com- bine the work of scientists, ar- chitects, builders, laborers, pol- chitects and even scavengers. This is being demonstrated at the Pioneer Museum ,Dalziel Conservation Area, Edgeley, where men ,women, and children stand in fascinated attention be- side the observation beehive set up under the sponsorship of York County Beekeepers Association. Through the glass sides of the hive the little winged creatures can be seen coming and going. ever busy with their communal duties. Earlier in the season they were bringing in small pellets of pollen to make bee bread for the new brood. Now they are adding new honey combs and transport- ing nectar to fill them with honey This is .a reciprocal arrange- ment as valuable to plants as to them, for the bees act as fertiliz~ ing agents. carrying-pollen from one blossom to another, and thus increasing the crops. Their duties have been harder this season on account of the drought, and a lighter yield of honey is ex- pected. Arranged around the observa- tion hive are some beekeeper’s equipment of the piéieer era, in- cluding two straw 5 eps, one of which is said to have belonged to David Willson of SharonTemple fame.

There vas a discussion on improved pastures and the tour finished up with a visit to their turkey plant which has a capacity of 65,000 birds per year. At noon lunch was served in the new park at Woodbridge, known as the Boyd Conservation Area with over 200 acres. Next was a tour of the park after lunch then at Elder’s Mills examinat- ion was made of a marvellous crop of barley on a for” :ly wet field of Gordon McGillivray’s which was tiled last year. An in- teresting half hour was spent at Gilbert Agar’s at Nashville where two of the O.A.C. Soils Depart- ment staff discussed the soil pits for a discussion on cross section or profile of soils. This was a new feature for such tours. The tour concluded with a visit to the Cold Creek Ranch at Kleinburg where Mr. Glasscoe has a herd of 50 head of Santa Gertrudis cattle which were originated by cross- ing the Braham’ s and Shorthorn on the King Ranch-in Texas. The other 50 head are Santa Gertrud- is crossed with Shorthorn and Angus. The fact that there were still 49 cars in the tour at Agar's at Nashvile indicates the keen inter- est which was maintained by everyore. an entirely satisfactory substi- tute, but to the beekeeper it pre- sented problems when the time came to remove the honey. The modern frame hive, developed after years of experimenting, is as far removed from the skep as a log cabin from a skyscraper apartment. It can be opened from time to time to permit ob- servation of the health, and pro- gress of the colony, and to fore- stall unnecessary swarming. A number of supers, each contain- ing additional frames to be filled with honey. can also be added, like top stories, to the hive. Without changing their habits, the bees have accepted these in- novations, and only work harder to fill the extra space with nectar. The hive in the Museum be- longs to Mr. Sam G. Hambly, viceâ€"principal of Allenby Public School, Toronto ,and a member of' York County Beekeepers Assn. Formerly set up in Allenby School for the benefit of the pupils it was moved with the consent of the Agriculture De- partment of the Ontario Agricul- tural College. Guelph. A permit is necessary in sudh instances to ensure that the colony is healthy and will not infect bees in the new locality. As insects were in his course of teaching Mr. Ham- bly decided to concentrate upon bees because they are the most useful to mankind. During the fall of 1956, ladies prepared and circulated a petit- ion for the establishing of a pub- lic library in Maple. This was presented to Vaughan Township Council according to the regulat- ions of the Public Libraries Act. The council prepared a by-law which was submitted to the rate- payers of the Police Village of Maple. The resulting vote approv- ed the by-law by a substantial majority. The school trustees of Maple and of Hope, and the vill- age trustees of Maple were each requested to appoint two memb- ers to the Maple Library Board to serve a twoâ€"year period. These, together with the chairman of the village trustees, constitute the board. During the first year, these were Mr. W. Maclachlan, Mr. R. Thompson, Mr. C. Dyson, Mr. W. Drinkwater, Mr. J. Hol- mes and Mrs. M. Meikle, with Mr. K. Brock, chairman of the village trustees. Mr. Angus Mowatt, Director of Public Libraries for the Province of Ontario attended an early board meeting and explained the operation of the Public Libraries Act and assisted in developing a budget for the year. It was de- cided to request a grant locally of $1.00 per capita ($850.00), a grant of $400.00 would be available from the Ontario Government. These grants were later approved and paid to the board. _ By MURIEL MEIKLE Maple Public Library opened its door last July. It seems fittifig now, at the end of the first year. to offer a report of the public library‘s inception and progress. Mrs. James Kingsburgh of Maple was appointed Librarian in June last year and immediate- ly set to work on the big task of cataloguing the books donated by the department. the Don Con- servation Authority, King Lib- rary and many generous friends. As soon as money became avail- able. new books Were bought and advantage taken of the depart- ment‘s lending scheme. The lib- rary opened first in the Lions‘ Club Room in the Community ‘Hall but in December moved to ‘premises of its own in Mr. Mel lWhite's building in the centre of 1town. This has proved a most convenient location and the cir- culation of books has grown apace. The library opens six hours a week in three two-hourly per- iods, timed to be convenient to as many people as possible.

Mr. Snider wanted to know if the system would then be turned over to Maple. Deputy-reeve Robert Kirk stated, “I don’t see nu... why there should be any con- cern. This well is being asked by the township for Maple village whether incorporated or other- wise. It’s going to be part and parcel of Maple village." Mr. Neufeld said he didn't want it said in the future the trustees didn't do anything to find out the details concerning the waterworks. It was stated that the cost of the well and a 12-inch main down the main street was to be paid by the developer. The proposed subdivision is to be located just beyond the new subdivision near Maple sideroad on Lot 19. Two hundred houses on average 10,- 000 foot square lots are planned. Fifty houses built per year is to be the limit. Meredith Subdivision The township also expects to benefit from the Meredith sub-i division in the southern part of the first concession. The munici- pality plans to assume the addit- ionl cost for larger mains than actually required by the subdiv- ision to get water in and this will serve Scott Drive. not pres- ently receiving township water. The cost is expected to be $2,- 500.00. va.uv To help a drainage problem al- ready in existence in the same area ,the subdivider will install larger pipes, from 30 to 48 inches, than necessary and the township will pay $5,500.00 additional. Councillor E. W Anstey of the Water Committee stated, "This money could come out of the per capita of $8,000.00. If we had to do this work from the start it would cost more.” The approved plans for the Meredith Subdivision call for gravel asphalt roads. Reeve John Perry commented, “We couldn’t have a subdivision now in the front end without paved roads.

In buying new books, the librarian has tried to keep a happy blend of classics and modern literature and to eat- er to the diverse tastes of the borrowers. Canadian authors are well represented, and every few months some of the very latest best-sellers are bought hot from the printer. Children have proved to be enthusiastic patrons. They come racing along the half-mile of sidewalk from the school on Tuesday afternoons to get to the library before 4.30 closing and many of them are back again on Friday evening to change their books. ’ During the first year of operat- ion, experience has been gained, and :‘t is hoped that the library will develop into areal asset to the community. - VANDORF : Provincial police are on the lookout for two stolen cars. The two cars were stolen last week, one from Musselman’s Lake and the other from Lake township. In ten years from now this could be a big point." Deputy-reeve R. Kirk added, “A terrific drainage problem on Pearson Ave. will be rectified here." Reeve Perry cautioned,, “Concessions now will cause problems later.” Clerk J. M. McDonald called attention to the fact no street lights were in the Plans. Mr. Kirk answered there were none in the area.
