A social time and refreshments were enjoyed in the parish hall following the service. a Home Sweet Home: Carrfi Wismer is on the home stretch after having her tonsils out and having a little extra un- called for return visits to the hospital. 7 This was a rather melancholy gathering as they recounted the happenings of the past years. Some had been operators for several years and Miss Ball re- tired from the Bell Telephone Company, November 1 1959. after 34 years of service to the resi- dents of Maple. That ls an amaz- ing achievement of which Miss Ball can be justly proud - as for Maple, we all salute Miss Ball and her staff for the friendly service we enjoyed throughout the years. While enjoying our new eulpment we still will remember the per- sonal touch that so often enter- ed into our local calls.

Granted it is the ladies that per- haps are required to serve the Lions dinners but the speakers at the meetings are most defino ately chosen to be of interest to both parents - of each family. Miss Ball was presented with a lovely corsage and as a mom- ento of the many hours they had worked together. the girls gave her an engraved jewelled even- in; bag. Last Sunday'evening the oper- ators of Maple's now defunct Bell Telephone Switchboard met at the Summit View Restaurant to reminisce and toast their super- visor and chief operator, Miss Margaret (Maggie) Ball, while en- oying a delicious dinner.

The parent may show a lack of interest in the child’s progress, quatelling between parents may disturb him emotionally. There may be a lack of privacy and quietness for study or a fear of failing, lack of intelligence or having not acquired the basic arithmetic, or his inability to un- derstand written and spoken Eng- lish. All these tend to weaken the pupil’s standings in school and in closing Mr. Outram urged parents to take time to under- stand their child and his prob- lems and support the school and its teachings in every detail which would elude the commun- ity and schoo club: Mrs. Tilt, grade 1 teacher and Mr. Outraxn answered questions concerning forms of teaching ask- ed by several parents.

Jim Stephenson appeared on Tabloid recently as a member of the “Glad Hatters Club." This club is formed of men in the con- ltruction business who have had a close call caused by an accident while working and because of the safety helmets they wear, they have escaped any serious injury. These men have some harrowing experiences and their helmets have made the difference in the ou ome of such ordeals. Y6 Liberal Delivered: Mr. Folliott had an approp- riately decorated cake for the oc- casion and presented the table roses to the girls at the end of their dinner. Miss Ball invited “her operat- ors" back to her apartment for coffee and there they opened their gifts they had exchanged with each other. _ Meanwhile. back at the party! This is the staff, at the time of the cut-off, who attended the din- ner; Miss Margaret Ball, Mrs. Gertie Orr. Mrs. Mary Weldrick, Mrs. Irene Boyle, Mrs. Jean Mil- ler, Mrs. Doreen Keffer, Miss Betty O'Brien, Miss Joan MbMa- hon, Miss Margaret O'Brien and Mrs. Lawrette Taylor. Many times one of our senior citizens had their calls made for them through the thoughtfulness of these same girls. Yes we miss them and wish them all the best in their new endeavors. More and more we hear of new neighbours moving into Maple. Being new to the district the Liberal can be of great as- sistance in helping locate the many and varied requirements a new householder runs up against in completing his new home. A horse. they dubbed it “Switch- board." The ideal way to be properly serviced and to get to know the activities of your new community is to have our local newspaper, The Liberal, delivered right to your door each Thursday. Sounds a splendid idea?” Sure does, so call the lad responsible for this service to you, Michael Weir at Alpine 7-1513. and he will see that you get prompt and courteous delivery. The Reeve then said that the CNR must be going to have to employ considerable labour and suggested “Why don’t we get to- gether with CNR about it” he added. The matter of some land bought by a Mr. Smith came up for brief discussion. It appeared that when Mr. Smith bought the property the contract provided for an easement across the land for erection of electricity or tele- graph poles. Mr. Smith had re- cently applied for a mortgage which had been refused on grounds that the easement clause did not specify the actual part of the property to which the ease- ment clause related. A speedy consideration and agreement on this was being requested. Council ordered it be arranged so that a decision could be given without delay. School Board Nominations Council agreed to have this matter investigated also. Reeve Perry asked the Clerk “Are there any indications that there are more people unemployed?" to which the Clerk replied “No.” Get Together With CNR Councillor Ralph asked that it be made clear and asked the press to co-operate to make it generally known and understood that the forthcoming School Board Trustee Nomination Meeting was an open meeting for the public and everybody was welcome to attend and to participate. He would like to see people taking a real interest and demonstrating this by their attendance. I Want My Money Back Another delegation complained about water which drained into and built up in the vicinity of Vaughan Driveway. “Where is it all going," asked the delegation. To which Councillor Ralph re- plied, “If I remember from last winter correctly, it all stayed there!" Easement Difficulties The council meeting concluded with fireworks between represen- tatives of the Normaple Develop- ment Company and Council on subject 701 permits. Council agreed to visit the 10- cations with the engineer tomor- row (Friday) afternoon to inspect the properties and to see what could be done about it. “Every- body will be waiting before you arrive" promised one ratepayer. Concord Water Several ratepayers were present to complain about the state of drainage in the Boyle Drive, Langstaff area. One woman, Mrs. Richards, said that everybody in the area knew of the trouble she was having and that the drainage was in a terrible state. “ ’Ijhe culvert by my property is dry only two months every year,” she complained, and “It smells,” she declared. Mrs. Richards and another delegate, Mr. McKeen also stated that it was bad for the children who play in the locality. Everybody Will Be Waiting 7 1complarinant§ and _th_e builders: Council agreed to inspect the situation with regard to Concord water with the engineer this at- ternoon. Councll agreed to purchase more equipment for Maple water supply, including a tank truck. A complaint was received from Imperial Oil that they were not served. Said Councillor Ralph, “They represent a very small part of the franchise” to which Reeve Perry added the comment, “They represent a very small amount of money." Where Is It All Going ~ Mr. Mendelson for the company claimed that Council had agreed to issue permits for fifty lots to his company against payment of 815000. This arrangement was completed with Mr. McDonald. The company however only re- ceived after payment of this sum 8 total of 11 permits. “Later,” claimed Mr. Mendelson, another party had paid a further $9.300 and received 31 permits. The company had to cover this and was therefore paying an excess on the amount agreed of $9,300. “Only we have title." declared the complainant. "and these per- mits to the other party should never have been issued," It was agreed that the other party was an approved buying agent for the company but still, “The permits in this case should not have been issued to them,” claimed the company. “I want my money back," declared Mr. Mendelson. “You can’t have it," replied the Reeve. "I am entitled to repay- ment." repeated Mr. Mendelson These permits were issued with- ‘out our designation and I want ‘my money back, he stated. Dinar-(in: Against Us Normaple Owner WantsMoney Back AT A MEETING OF THE VAUGHAN TOWNSHIP COUNCIL Monday Council covered a variety of subjects with speed and dispatch. Mr. Jack Grant also for the company now intervened and complained that “This is a form of disgorglng against us which is a form of repaymentâ€"whoever has to make prepayment?" Asked if the lots designated by Mr. Grant for the company were the lots agreed on originally Mr. Mendeison referred the matter to Mr. Grant claiming he had not designated the lots. “1 think you are evading,” replied Reeve The Reeve said 'he thought the matter was an issue between the Perry. What Are You Trying To Pull Vaughan Council The Reeve and Councillors said they did not approve and when Mr. Grant stated that conditions had changed since the initial ar- rangements had been made, Reeve Perry asked\“So because conditions have changed, you want us to get you out of it?” The Reeve went on to close the matter rather forthrightly by de- claring, “It was a dirty trick to designate lots not bonded. The matter is closed. I don’t want to discuss it further tonight," he concluded. A request by the company for a letter releasing land for subdivision development was granted. -â€" v Reeve Perry replied, “But 28 of the lots designated are not bonded.’ He asked “Why did you designate lots not bonded,” to which Mr. Grant replied that it was for reasons which did not concern Council. Council is only interested in getting its money he declared and it got its money. “A council cannot object to set- ting its money can it?” he asked. It Was A Dirty Trick 88 Baker Ave., Richmond Hill SALES - SERVICE - RENTALS complainants and the builders. To which Mr. Mendelson replied “But you should not issue these permits without designating us.” The Reeve pointed out again that the letter designating lots had included lots not agreed upon and .asked, .“Can .you .expect Council to approve lots unserv- iced and not bonded? What are you trying to pull?” asked the Reeve. ‘- “I want my money back" re- turned Mr. Mendolson, adding, “You are only entitled to issue these permits and to accept pay- ment paid by, through or under All popular make! on hand See Portable models It Wight’s Pharmacy 28 Yonge St. S. “ or 0111 TU. 4-1745 day or night 'Your local typewriter apocle US, Typewriters .

Ratepayers' Meeting Another candidate, Mrs. Mona Robertson of “The Liberal", also spoke a few words in respect to the new area school board. Mr. Edward Hay was expected to speak at the meeting but was unable to attend. My apologies to the association for getting the date of the meet- ing wrong, but I was honestly misled by a couple of the assoc- iation’s members. My apologies also to Mr. and Mrs. Roy Witty (although it was not my doing). They have celeb- rated their 13th anniversary, not their 30th. People do marry young we know, but not that young. Church Parade Our condolences to the glrls’ volleyball team who lost in the finals to Woodbrldge. The games were played at Kleinburg last Friday. We haven’t the scores, but it was apparently a decisive victory. Better luck in the base- ball_season, girls. Happy Birthday Thursday evening, November 5, the Concord Community Ratepay- ers Association held its monthly meeting at the school. Only about 25 members were present to hear some of the candidates for school board present their platforms for the coming election November 23. Mr. Warren Bailie of Concord gave a very complete and inter- esting speech on what he felt would be problems that the new board will have to face. Mr. Bail- ie had announced at an earlier date that he was willing to run for school trustee. The Brownies, Scouts and Cubs of Concord held a church parade on Sunday, November 8 at the Maple United Church. Between 40 and 50 girls and boys and their leaders took part in the Remem- brance Day parade. Many par- ents came out at enjoy the ser- vice too. School News TU. 4-3211 53 Yonge N.

This is a week set aside to em~ phasize the importance of read- ing for the junior members of the, community. Urge your child to become a member of the library if he has not already done so. A world of knowledge and adventure will be opened up to him, and reading will help him get more out of his work at school. r Our librarian. Mrs. Kinsburgh. is most anxious to help young people select books that are suit- able for their age. The library has a large selection of books for schoolâ€"age children as well as pre-school children. Help your child by discussing his reading with him and explain- ing to him what he does not un- derstand. You will not only be helping him intellectually but will also be establishing a bond between you r and your child. Each year there is an increas- ing number of children’s books with Canadian settings, written by Canadians. Young Canada's Book Week might be a good time for your child to begin exploring this channel in literature. GROWER â€" FLORIST Since 1880 The finest in floral designs and bedding plants.

STEEL STRIKE ‘OVER! During the recent steel strike there was a lot of talk about new car shortages. Some car manufacturers found themselves ,in a much bet- ter position than others. Ford Motor Company was one of the more fortunate and as a result we are able to ofl’er immediate delivery on some 1960 models and require only a week or ten days on most other models. We think that dealers Wh0~hold out for higher prices because of the steel situation are very shortsighted as any shortage is only temporary. So if you are not getting the deal or the car you want drop in to see US today. Nine chances out of ten we will be able to give you both. AV. 5-1105 Friday, November 27th . D. LITTLE 8. SON LTD.
