Why not start the new year with; new hobby? Contrary to popular belief the best time to begin ,to learn about birds in your own area is during the winter â€"â€" when there are fewer species around to confuse you. Mr. I". R. Pammétt of Peterborough gives the following aid to bird identifi- cation and labels it the “S” lys- tein‘ under six headings: (2) Sight â€"â€",- (Everything ybu see when you watch the bird). Predominant colour of the body; Special markings: eye-ring, tail- bands, wingâ€"bars, stripes and spots. Actions â€" walking, teet- ering, perching, manner of flight, etc. .In the end nearly evefirone seems to get an award of some kind, or at least a mention and that makes ev- eryone happy to go back and do it again. Because after all, you learn so much from being in with the other clubs, and besides, it’s only one man’s opinion! Finally THE first night, is here and the winning group from the year before listens to the speeches, swal- lows twice and the curtains open and heaven heln you, you’re On. A Festival audience is different too. in the lobby is eager chatter as each one freely voices an opin- ion Of this or that actor, piece of business, lighting or scenery. As the week draws on the conversation be- comes more intense for there is veryseldom a SURE THING. And each night there is a moment’s silence after the play and then the curtains part and there he is, the Adjudicator, to give the criticism. If you disagree you say so in the lobby the next night. If he noticed some point you overlooked (ha) you point out in the lob- .by the next night how you had noticed it too. And all the time you wonder how he can hit the nail on the head, be so damning. be so constructive and above all Which One Will He Choose. The program corivenor cajoles the clubs for lists of full names to be handed in a little sooner than yester- day for the printer. The social convenor arranges for entertainment for the adjudicator, as Well as welcome cotfee and sandwiches in the green room for dress re- hearsals, and for more delicate fare for the famous On- Stage parties opening‘and closing night, and for the opening night dinner for the club presidents, other reg« ional representatives (sneaking a look at this adjudi- cator) and executives. The ticket convenor has prob- lems of distribution and collection with (usually) six groups. The publicity department tries to get pictures and news into the newspapers, onto the air and TV. And backstage in the theatre itself the Hart House Stage Manager'and Electrician prepare to cope with sets that don’t fit, and crew that don’t know how to put them up, and to produce lighting effects that will more thangurpass the directors’ dreams. We leave the Curtain Club and Clerambard rehears- ing, polishing and enlarging (big stage Hart House) and go to the scene of activity where the Festival Commit- tee (remember them?) are'now‘in full__swing. This year out of the forty odd clubs, thirteen ap- plied to be screened, among them the Curtain Club. Mr. James Dean, screener, and Mr. William Cuttell, Festival Director saw- the production of Clerambard at the Mu- seum Theatre the last day of the screening, and after- wards Mr. Dean gave a private adjudication to the dir- ector and cast. Three days later (a set date) the'Comâ€" mittee sent an official invitation to the club to enter the Festival at Hart House. being held January 6 to 10. Two of the six plays invited felt they could not manage and so withdrew, so we see a four-day festival. I This lady'or gentleman is chosen by the Regional Festival Committee is asked to do the rounds ofvthe Region entries who apparently would like to be screened on the last possible day, if not a day later. Accompanied by his shadow the FESTIVAL DIRECTOR, he sees each of these plays (in past years in all stages from people sitting about reading or “just having blocked the first act” all the way to a full production with lights, music and an audience. The screener was supposed to be able to judge which of the plays would be good enough six Weeks later to be IN the festival. The rules now say “an advanced stage of production” . . . with the lines all learned and costumes on and the set at least in the scalegmodel stage).

So now a little about the screener. Sheppard and Gill Lumber Co., Ltd. Nature Notes Builders’ Supplies Recent observations, nearer our own locality, are: long-cared owl, seen frequently between the 0b- servatory and the railroad track; flocks of several hundred snow- buntings near the junction of highway MO and the Maple side- road; a northern shrike on Mill St. beyond Pleasantville; a vespra sparrow at Mr. Large’s feeding station and a large flock of gold- finches in the vicinity of Boyd Park. Farther afield, Mr. pevitt reported Bohemian waxwings at Barrie and Collingwood. To keep our records complete, will observ- ers please phone their reports to Dr. Lillian Langstaff at TUrner 4-1267? at the final meeting of council urged that the 1959 council pro- ceed with plans to extend the village boupdaries.

The late fall saw October was saddencd~for some of us by the death of our oldest resident. Mrs. William Leuschner, almost two years. after the sud~ den death of her husband. Also we must record the death of Mr. McTaggart of Orangeville, but formerly of Headford, whose wife Kay was for a while our organist. Two graduations were quite meaningful to Headford folk â€" Marg Brodie from Teachers’-Col- lege ,anrl Elizabeth Barker, grad- uating with lst class honors in November as a certified nurse’s assistant. Margaret Brodie re- ceived an appointment to Crosby School. Before her graduation, Elizabeth had a memorable month in the San at Hamilton, where many many of her patients were Eskimos. She was the recipient of several of their soapstone car- vings. July, of course, was highlighted by our vacation school -â€" this year as always, with increasing attendanee; and this year, also; as always, with perfect weather. In August also, the Middletons had a delightful guest from England â€"â€"â€"Mrs. Fendick, sister of Wes Middleton, who will surely be- come a private ambassador of our country! She regretted so much having to return home, and vows, D.V., she will be back again be- fore long! The newly-wed Boyntons had an extensive trip to the west; as also did Gwen and Merrill John- son and Mary-Ellen. Gwen was thus enabled to visit with her mother and brothers, whom she had not seen for thirty-four‘years. Mr. Len Graham accompanied them. Other travellers were the Binningtons, who on their vaca- tion ‘in August, visited their daughter and her husband in New Jersey, and spent a little while in New York. June saw Ruth Clark and George Boynton married in our lovely old church, and Millie Wil- lis was married at Thankskgiving time in October. Most farmers in this district will recall the past year for its wonderful seeding weather; and then they will think of the an- xious, time they spent hoping against hope, for the rains that did not come. And yet we had a very fair hay crop, and were as- tounded at the abundance of our grain harvest. How thankful we should be to live in such a won- degful country! FREE HERRIDGE ELECTRIC As the rest of the winter passed on uneventfully. we think of the annual public speaking contest, originally started many years ago by the home and school associa- tion and now sponsored by the school trustees. The 1958 cup was won by Barbara McDonald. Len- tin study and preparation under the new minister culminated in six new members for our church â€"- Mr. and Mrs. Howie, Mr. and Mrs. John Simpson, and Austin and Albert Johnston were receiv- ed into the church by profession of faith at Easter. . ACCORD-IAN, GUITAR, PIANO 4 TU. 4-0022 A pleasantly mild January which ushered in 1958 had those of us in the church eagerly look- ing for our new minister, Rev. A. F. Binnlngton, M.A., B.D., S.T. M., who came to us from Napanee, but as if to show him the kind of happenings he might find in our part of the country, the weaâ€" therman did an “about face" and bated his teeth in a blizzard we shall all remember. Always, as the old year ends and a new one unfolds, one looks back on the past year with mixed feelings â€"- for some there are outstanding events, perhaps joy- ful, possibly some not quite so happy, for others, great changes will be remembered. 53 YONGE N.

Looking forward, we wish Dv- eryone a very happy New Year, and fervently hope the year of 1959 will hold much of gladness and well-being for the folk of Headford. One could not wind up one’s retrospective look at the year without a few personal commentâ€" aries. For instance, the awards, two firsts and two seconds for Mrs. G orge Barker, and a first for Mr . Freeman Barker, at the nation-wide Gladiolus Show in August; Charlie Barker’s second place ribbon for his carved tray at the C.N.E., and his first for woodworking and his second for wood carving at the Pacific Nas tionol Exhibition in Vancouver. [three new junior members join our choir, for which we were most happy and grateful â€" Susan Terry, Sharon Rumble and Nor- een Simpson. John Rumble had joined the choir quite early in the year. Our church fence was permanently erected; and.in the interests of safety. a broader step and better lighting at the door of the Sunday School. Also, we were most happy to welcome the Calder family earlier in the fall and the Harry Burton: and their family in December. December also gave us an event of spectac- ular interest to remember, when the beautiful barn on the Mc- Mahon property burned to the ground. Property damage was great, only partially covered by insurance; insufficient wiring was blamed for the fire.
