Michael Draquet, gardener for some of the lovelier homes of Richmond Hill and district, is spending the winter months in Florida and Mexico.

Mrs. Irene Wor- rell recently elected Richmond Hill Public School trustee. re- luctantly relinquished chairman- ship of “T. A. B.” and two mem- bers, Mrs. Jean Castello and Mrs. Ruth Pears were elected as co- chairmen. Mrs Worrell then in- troduced the guest speaker Mrs. Helen Goodman, who was very enthusiastically received. It was a return visit for Mrs. Goodman as she was also a guest at the “T. A. B." initiation last October. To demonstrate her subject “Glamour on a Budget" Mrs. Goodman selected four girls from the audience who were used as models to illustrate the cor- rect types of makeup for (a) be- fore breakfast, (b) afternoon, (c) evening and (d) someone who previously used no make-up. The four girls had varying types of eye make up and in each case the results proved interesting and necessary. Basically stress was given to the necessity of pro- per skin cleansing, cold cream followed by astring'ment before application of foundation cream, rouge, powder and lipstick with emphasis on eye make-up. Mrs. Goodman’s skill and delightful wit had the full attention of ev- eryone. During the coffee break. ably convened by Mrs. Shirley Brown, Mrs. Goodman advised each girl individualy how to pro- perly make up their eyes and an- swered many queries re “Glam- _our on a Budget." “Tell me â€" just who is that genial, active gent?" was the query. as the man with the cheery voice and brisk walk disappeared up the steps of the Municipal Hall into the Club Room of the Senior Citizens. ‘Guess you’re a newcomer alright â€" he is our “Senior” senior citizen, Mr. Al- fred E. Plewman, president of the Senior Citizen's Club of Rich- mond Hill since 1958â€"and going stronger than ever." Though our town of Richmond Hill is conducive to longevity, with many citizens past the eighty mark. Alfred Plewman is right in the front rank, physically strong. mentally alert, plus a keen sense of humor backed by 40 years of residence in this town, during which time being engaged in church and welfare work has won him the highest respect and es- teem of fellow citizens. His crys- tal clear memory accentuates the telling of his interesting exper- iences back in the “early days" of his life, vivid memories such as his first 10b in Toronto in 1888, that of .clerking in a dry goods store in the same block as Eaton’s, then joining the clerical staff of the Toronto Railway Company. which later became the Toronto Transportation Com- pany. Alfred Piewman served the “T.T.C." for a continuous period of 55 years retiring in 1947 only on account of the compulsory age limit set by the Company. In the year of 1892, Alfred Plowman joined the Company, just as the‘first electric street car was introduced into the sys- tem. The last horse car service was discontinued in 1894, and at that time the system included ,63 miles of single track, 264 cars, 99 buses, 100 sleighs, and 1,372 horses. The fare was five cents cash, or six tickets for 25 cents. Not having the modern methods of snow removal Mr. Plewman says “It was a regular winter sight to see the sleighs and the high-Wheel horse drawn buses operating on downtown Yonge them.
