MILSTED GORMLEY Electrician Gomley 5201 About one hundred members and friends of the Richmond Hill Horticultural Society gathered in the Presbyterian Church Hall for the annual Dinner of the Soc- iety. Mr. John Spanner asked the blessing. This was followed by The Toast to the Queen. Mem- bers and friends were then serv- ed a most enjoyable meal by the Presbyterian Women's W. A. Towards the end of the meal Mr. J. Large introduced the guests and members at the Head Table who were President, G. Longworth, Miss Longworth, His Worship Mayor Tomlin and Mrs. Tomlin, Mr. and Mrs. S. Gurney, 1‘“. H. MacKay, Mrs. D. L. Ander- son. Miss Gladys McClatchy, Mr. and Mrs. J. Large. He also intro- duced Mr. and Mrs. Bigham of the East York Horticultural Soc- iety who are new to our district and are potential new members. Mr. Kerslake then introduced Mr. John Lunn, Associate Cura- tor of the Division of Archaeol- ogy, Royal Ontario Museum. After a short intermission for the clearing of tables, President G. Longworth thanked Mrs. Douglas Bennett and her commit- tee for a fine repast well served. After explaining that the speaker originally scheduled to be present, Mr. Peter Whittall, (Mr. Fix-it) had been taken ill and was unable to be present, G. Longworth called on Ralph Kers- lake to introduce the speaker. This was followed by the read- ing of the names of the Life Members:- Dr. Lillian Langstaff, Mr. I. Ramer and J. Ellis. Hon. Directors:- Paul Angle, R. D. Little, D. Boyd. Mr. Lunn in his opening re- marks explained that he is no gardener but loves gardens when he doesn’t have to dig them. His digging is more of a professional order he said and “Countries I have Dug In” could have been his theme. Mr. Lunn went on to tell of the wife of a Vicar‘ in Bedfordshire, England, who while digging in her rose garden found a piece of metal which turned out to be a gold buckle from a Viking casket and which now reposes in the British Museum. The speaker then told the members that his digging must be orderly, something like peeling an onion, layer by lay- er. In Britain these days there is a tremendous interest in Archae- ology as a hobby and people in all walks of life are finding en- joyment in working under the guidance of profeSsionals and at- tempting to unlock the secrets of previous generations. In Canada also, the number of amateur archaeologists are growing, the' great interest shown in the dig- ging at Pickering being an exam- ple. In Britain archaeologists have worked for 30 years to recon- struct the history of the ancient city of Verulamium near the an- cient Abbeyrof St. Albans. to the plough and face to the future." In giving the President’s Address, Mr. G. Longworth said that he disliked anti-climaxes and so would speak briefly. However he felt that he should say that he has enjoyed the work as Pres- ident of the Society and has had excellent cooperation from the members of the executive. In closing he paid tribute to ex- cellent work done by Wm. Beatty in decorating the tables: The minutes of the Annual meeting November 27, 1958-were read by the Secretary Miss G. McClatchy. After the minutes had been formally adopted Miss Mc- Lartchy presented the Treasurer's Report. This told not only of money received and spent but of the work of the Society in plan- ting and beautifying around the town, the new Library and the churches in particular, also of the annual Flower Sunday held this year at the Baptist Church. And of the many well attended and very delightful garden visits. Dr. H. MacKay then presented Mrs. D. L. Anderson with the Horticultural Society’s Diploma of merit for her long and out- standing service to the Society, for the great interest and encour- agement shown to others and as a token of the esteem of the sac- iety.. Mrs. Anderson in reply, used the words of Sir Wm. Mu- lock, who, at 95 years said, “I am still at work with my hands The slate of officers as pres- ented by Mr. Urquhart was re- ceived and adopted and the New Executive is as follows. ._ _-___vo. Mr. Jack Large extended thanks to the speaker for an ex- cellent address and for coming so willingly on such very short notice and a very concrete token of thanks to Mrs. Lunn for co- operating to give us such a fine speaker, q glftpf roses. . In appreciation of the keen and excellent work Miss McLatchy has done in the past year and the great assistance she has rendered to him and to all the executive, Mr. G. Longworth presented the Secretary with arGolf Bag. _ The president then vacated the chair and asked Mr. Douglas Boyd to preside. Mr. Boyd then called on Mr. W. S. Urquhart to present the report of the nomin- ating committee. With all the digging that has to be done in a project like this, the speaker concluded, you can understand why I don't do any gaygiening. _ President, G. Longworth, lst Vice Pres., Dr. H.

Coun- cillor Watson said, “I don’t think we need to go to a Sat- urday vote yet, too many peo- ple in the north wouldn’t want it." Reeve: “Well. we don't have to decide now -â€" but it is something to think about."
