OPENING CARD TU. 4-5811 FEATURING Wan AND iAN After a tour of the grounds and a view of the general exhibits the Tea Room looked very invit- ing. Mrs. J. Price and Mrs. N. Davison poured tea during the af- ternoon. A family dance at the school in the evening brought the day's activities and the fair to a close. Some of the winners of spot and novelty dances were Mr. and Mrs. Chidley. Mr. and Mrs. Aliver, Miss Janet Royston. Miss Patti Lever. Miss Lorraine Evans, Miss Gail Meadows. Mr. N. Davison, Mrs. E. Castle and Mrs. R. Par- rett. The fair officially opened at 12.30, following the judging of the exhibits by Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Campbell, Mrs. Jos. Rabinowitch, Miss Greig. Mrs. D. Boyd, Mrs. V. Pearce, Mr. D. Rose, Mr. McIntyre and_Mrs. Margaret Southwell. There was lots of activity in- doors and out. The weather was good for fishing and the children caught over 500 big ones in the Fish Pond. There was a naiLdriv- ing contest for ladies and this was won by Mrs. Burgan with a time of 4 seconds. Mr. E. Castle won the men's Potato Peeling contest in .18 minutes. Perhaps a talent like that could be put to good use preparing for some club dinners in the future. Mr. William Hym- kiw won a pair of beautiful gold satin cushions in the dart-throw- ing contest. He counted 11 score of 98 with only 3 darts. Mrs. Joyce Linderman won the door prize of a bushel basket of groceries when Rev. W. W. Patterson, St. Mat- thew's United Church, drew the lucky number. Gaiiy decorated bicycles and wagons were on parade and Mrs. P. Hopkins, judging the event, had a very difficult task to per- form selecting the winners. Even the family dog has his day in the Dr. Ballard's Show. There were special prizes for the dog with the longest tail, the shortest tall, the cutest dog, etc. The best. dressed dog was a live "Hot Dog" complete with dill pickles. The little daschund didn’t seem to mind being the winner in the French-stick bun. A shy' little terrier bride stood by probably wondering how he’d be on the menu at her reception. Every dog entered earned his keep that day. There was a can of dog food or a packagerog biscuits for each one. The Walter Scott School Fall Fair, put on by home and school association members, is over. Work started last spring to make this second annual fair such a big success. The ladies of St. Matthew's United Church sold baked goods and St. Gabriel’s Anglican Church had a candy booth. Both organiza- tions report a sell out of their delicious wares. The children In Mrs. Jeans’ class of Grade V took adVantage of the opportunity to raise funds for an aquarium for their class- room and they too had a candy stall. Mrs. Castle expressed sincere appreciation and heartfelt thanks for the co-operatlon and Interest accorded the Walter Scott Home and School Association in their Annual Fall Fair.

Mrs. Rumble remarked on one picture displayed in the journal, saying she had to attend an auc- tion sale in order to obtain it and perpetuate it in the history book. Such things as the first W. I. programmes brought _comments from Mrs. Walker who remarked, “Did you have your programmes printed, right from the beginning of your organizations in 1915?” Mrs. Rumble replied, "We never thought it was unusual - you see we have always had “The Liberal" to do our printing.” But apparent- ly other branches were not so for- tunate and earlier programmes were hand-printed or written by hand. These beams are produced on a mass production basis. One beam is cast daily. After reaching concrete strength of 5000 lbs. per square inch. the beams are past- tensioned and are then ready for transport to the site. In the case of the beams featured in the "Lib. eral” picture above, five beams were destined for a location south of Highway 22 for use in the con- struction of a Middlesex County Bridge over Oxbow Creek. which has been designed by Mr. S. G. Other precious momentoes were. an 1855 Christmas card; a document signed by Lord Elgin when 'he was Govenor General of Canada; a picture of the Elgin Mills tannery; an old original memorial card of heavy black pa- per and gold letterlnk. Mrs. Wal- The Richmond Hill W. I. Tweedsmuir History Book pres- ented to Mrs. Walker by Mrs. F. S. Rumble, convenor of historical research for this branch, received very favorable comment. Beauti- fully bound and ‘tabbed.’ for con- venience in tracing historical not- es, it tells the story of the early days - and early settlers - in Richmond Hill and district, inclu~ ding the first negro lady who re- sided in the tiny village of 600 souls many years ago: of Maple have been operating in the district since June, 1957. The company has a payroll of. eighty-two. They are manufacturers of Precast and Prestressed concrete. Presi- dent of the company is Mr. Kai Halbek. Plant Manager and Engineer is Mr. Robert T. Sheppard, a resident of Richmond Hill. Last week an unusual convoy left the Maple factory en route for a location at Oxbow Creek. just west of London, Ontario. The convoy carried five enormous beams of prestressed concrete completely fabricated in the plant at Maple, each weighing 22 tons and being 72 feet in length. (See photo.) The Richmond Hill Women’s Institute was host to representa- tives from twelve branches of the W. I. in East York District, last Friday at the Municipal Town Hall, when Mrs. Robert C. Wei. ker Provincial Curator of “Tweedsmuir History Books." in- spected. criticized, praised. and made suggestions to the librarians of the -various branches. as they presented some exceedingly well-done scrap-books and jour- nals of rural history for her in- spection and_comr_nen_t. _ The Tweedsmuir diaries came into being following the Second World War, at the instigation of Lady Tweedsmuir, who advised country women everywhere in Canada to "keep a record of your history -‘- for future generations: R.

The course will run for twenty weeks commencing October 6. (Registration is on October 1.) There will he a wide range of ac- tivities beginning with basic con- ditioning and progressing through activities such as Badminton, Vol- leyball. Table Tennis, Weight Traming. Basketball. Gymnastics, Floor Tennis, Circuit Training, and even Wrestling. As a condi. tioning programme the 58X Plan of exercises has been adopted. This is a plan of progressive exer- cise. based on the basic exercises of (1) toe-touching, (2) sit-ups, (3) trunk lifting, (4) push-ups, Tweedsmuir Histories Night School Course For Men Physical Education Local High School Huge Beams ~Fo'r Bridge Made At Maple Personalities and family trees Ivhave also been included and the history which may be seen in the Town Library keeps up with the changing times as more and more new industries. stores and businesses establish themselves in this district. All told, the Tweed:- muir History Book, as compiled by the W. I. is a most worthy and notable work for future students of history to peruse. of the local library and local schools, including the first high school held in the present mumc- ipal hall, down to the fine build. ing now 0;; Wright_ S_t.

Responsible for erection and transport was Mr. A. Cunnin - had. Drivers of the two 103 featuring in our picture were Wallis Tromley of Spiers Road, Fort Erie and Rod Miller of Fruit- land, Ontario. The drivers said it would take them about six hours to travel with their heavy loads from Maple to London. The data contained in the Tweedsmuir history books is rap- idly becoming recognized for its importance by schools. libraries and other 0 anizations interested in its own community history. Mrs. Walker said. Several local people have contributed to the present book, among them being Dr. Rolph. Langstaff, Mrs. Lance Zuefelt, Mrs. Ed. Little, Mr. Wil- liam Harrison and Mona Robert- son, associate editor of The Lib. eral, as well as countless others. Every phase of life seems to be incorporated within the history’s pages: farm histories; history of the village and-town of Richmond Hill;rchurch histories; the piston! The lists of those who serVed in the lst and 2nd World Wars also form a memorable part of the Richmond Hill W. I. journal. and shining gold stars mark the names of those who lost their lives in fighting for King and Country. ker explained that later on silver lettering was used; 'then cards changed from black to white. with black lettering. She advised li- brprians to try to get all available copies of such items for their books if possible: Church and school programmes etc., since continuity for future generations was the theme of the Tweedsmuir diaries. There is no age limit. except that those taking part must no longer be registered in high school. It is considered advisable to have a general medical be- fore registering for the course. and (5) running. Each of the movements get more diffiqult ov- er six stages.
