But at 1 pm. next day, there it all was, calm, cool and colâ€"l lected, a place for everything and everything'in its place. An am- azing amount of arranging had gone in to the counter displays and probably the first reaction after taking in the pleasing decor and the beautiful flowers from all the commercial establishments in our town offering congratulations and a warm 'welcome, was the uncluttered appearance of the shelves. Here you found a var- ied assortment of merchandise in all departments and set out in such a way to show them off to their, and your, best advantage. Congratulations indeed to the owners, Erie and Winnifred Ad- cock. Incidentally they are there to serve you and to please you and would appreciate your comments and suggestions.

The Grey Cup That Got Away How did you make out, did you go to the game and let the crowd help to warm the stands for you, or watch in comfort in front of that square box? Wonderful how so many cheered for the east even though they knew (or so lthey later said) the west would win. Bright and early, well early anyway, Mrs. Bigford and I set how out for the parade. We went dir- ectly to the Hotel headquarters and sure enough got quickly into the spirit of things. Embarrass- llle moment occurred when i met up with a gang from Montreal and I was caught sporting the Ti-cat colours!!! At least-Mrs. Bigford and I held up our end for the east amidst the swarms of western rooters. If those guys and gals in the green and white uniform were from Richmond Hill H. S. we wish they had carried a banner so we would have known. They looked very sharp anyway. Continued Interest Before Jim Harding entered the Air Force, he was Scout Mas- ter for our Boy Scout Troop here in Maple and did much to create a lively interest in Scout- ing amongst the boys. Jim is now stationed in Trenton with the .Air Transport Division and his interest in Scouting has gone up a notch, he now is in charge of 3 Rover Troop at the station. Maple Women's Institute Next meeting of Maple W. I. will be held December 9 at 8 pm. at the home of Mrs. Gordon Wat- son. The committee in charge of the meeting is Mrs. H. Jackson, Mrs. I.

Pack On November 18, Peter Watt, Paul McMahon and Patrick Plun- kett were invested and Marvin Yate received hs lst star. On November 25, Brian James and Robert Urquhart were invest- ed. and Ricky Calder received his 2nd Star. Perhaps when the seasonal rush has subsided somewhat, mom or pop can sit down with their cub and check the tests he should be working on. The boys are as a rule anxâ€" ious to work and learn but some- times need a little guidance and encouragement. At Least You’ll Be 0. K. for Christmas . So many homes have a junior feeling pretty miserable with the mumps, measles or chicken pox and the seniors are holding their breath waiting for a brother or sister to join the club. We know Sandra Thacker had the measles, Mary Ellis said her Our representative 2375 six year old has chicken pox and after just getting into the swing of things at. school. doesn't like having to miss any. Ronnie Crook has chicken pox too. Any others who are feeling pretty tough about now. keep thinking of old Santa and Christ- mas and before you know it, you'll be all set again. Maple United Church W.

They proved most interest- ing and enjoyable. A report on the bazaar held on Saturday, November let was very encouraging as almost $400.00 was realized. Skating Anyone?

Keffer While collecting details about the tragic highway accident of last week. which claimed the life of a young man who lived at the Salvation Army House of Concord. we gathered some very worthwhile information about the House of Concord from its head, Captain McCorquodale. He feels that there could possibly be a better understanding of the work done at the House if people 1n the area were better acquaint- ed with its function. Captain Mc- Corquodale issued an open invi- tation to any organizations in the area to hold one of their meet- ings at the House and take a tour of the setâ€"up afterwards. He said the staff would be very pleased to have visitors in this manner and would gladly conduct a tour and provide refreshments after- wards for suclrgroups as Home and School or any of the other Auxilarics and organizations in Concord. Sounds like a wonder- ful way to establish good public relations. Some facts about the House of Concord which readers might like to know are that. contrary to public opinion. it is not a re- form institution. but a residence for boys in their teens who, most- ly through no fault of their own, have nowhere else to live. Some of the boys are from what we would consider well to do and even wealthy homes. which did not. unfortunately. provide as much attention and love as mon- s' G.

Those responding were - the Maple Uni- ted, St. Andrews Presbyterian and St. Stephen’s Anglican chur- ches, of Maple; Maple Women's Institute, Maple Community and School Club; Edgeley United Church, Edgeley Women’s Insti- tute, Sherwood Lutheran Church, Teston United Church, Hope Uni- ted Church. Hope Community and School Club, Vellore Women's Institute and the recently joined Concord Community and School Club. With such a working group the neiyly formed organization he- came an active branch of the Richmond Hill Unit of District Council No. 12. In November 1955 these mem- bers served a turkey dinner for 700 people. with proceeds going towards the Research Fund of the Canadian Cancer Society. Be- cause of the splendid community spirit. effort and support given this project. it was repeated with even greater success in 1956. In 1957 it was decided. that with the expanding community, they would channel their efforts towards house to house campaign- ing. Here again volunteers were most anxious and willing to lend their support and in 1958 and ’59 ‘Maple Branch followed through and reached its quota’s for each annual campaign. .

Now On November 18, 1959 the Can- adian Cancer Society Workshop Conference for District Council No. 12 was held at Christ Church, Brampton, Ontario. At this ses- sion after discussion it was moved by Mrs. G. Miller of Maple that Richmond Hill be split into two units, one to contain the bran- ches of Maple and Woodbridge and the other Richmond Hill, Markham, Stouffville and Union- ville. This was seconded by Mrs. L. Henderson of Woodbridge. On November 25, 1959, mem- bers from Maple and Woodbridge met in Woodbridge to elect the officers for the newly formed unit to be called the “Maple - Wood Unit." Mr. F. Wilcox, chair- man of Extensions for the Dis- trict, chaired the election; as follows: President, Mrs. L. G. Henderson (W); Vice-presidents, Mrs. V. H. Minns (W) Mrs. G. W. Miller (M) and Mrs. R. A. Big- ford (M); Secretary, Mrs. R. E. Smart (M) and Treasurer Mrs. H. Heatherington (W). Mrs. Miller brought a message from one of the Cancer Society’s staunchest supporters and past president of Maple Branch from 1955-59, Mr. Wills MacLachlan - “Two strong Branches have join- ed to make one strong unit. There will be great things in the future but always remember the aim of branch, unit or district. that is to alleviate suffering, physical or mental, of anyone, man, woman or child, requiring your services. My very best wishes in your new venture." On January 12, 1960 in Wood- bridge Area at 8.15 pm. the in- augural meeting of the Maple- Wood Unit wil be held. Mr. Maur- ice Grimes, Executive Secretary of Ontario Division will be pres- ent to install the elected officers and get the new unit off to an auspicious start for the year 1960.
