Here it is In brief â€" on Fri- day evening, January 22‘ the Vel- lore Old .Boys are holding their 78th Annual Dance and Euchre Party at Vellore Memorial Hall. Mrs. C. A. Peelar was the hos- tess for the January meeting of the Edgeley Women’s Institute when the roll was answered by naming “My Grandfather's Oc- cupation.” This sounds like a good fun night, so how about checking the Coming Events Department of "Tpe Liberal'fland get the details. Social Mrs. Roy Keffer showed some delightful pictures that, she and Mr. Kefifer took while on their trip to Western Canada last sum- mer. Mrs. B. Cook and Mrs. R. J. Darlington were the social com- mittee. The girls are preparing for the Churchmanshlp Badge and are completing the practical require- ments â€" that of making altar lin- enflpuriificators. The G.A. meets at St. Stephen's Church every Tuesday from 7.30 to 9 pm. and girls 12 years and over are welcome.

A donation of one dollar or more entitles you to membership. For further information, call Mrs. John Martin, AL. 7-1384 or send enquiries to the Secretary, at P. 0. Box 1, Richmond Hill." St. Stephen’s (LA. Here is her report: “The York County Branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association thanks the citizens of Maple Commun- ity for their warm response to the recent appeal. Because of your generosity and that of hundreds of other York County citizens no patient was overlooked this Christmas. Gifts were distributed at special parties arranged by White Cross Volunteers of the' Canadian Mental Health Assoc- iation or by hospital stafi‘s. These gifts have brought hope, encour- agement and cheer_ to many. It's always interesting to follow up on any request that was made for assistance towards a project and just see how successful it was. So we called Mrs. Margaret Mar- tin and asked how the Christmas Gift Projeet turned _out.__ Edgeley Socials I'u'u'flu'u'u'u' Maple Notes With all this skating interest around town, don’t you think we should have a skate exchange? Many Wishes for Many More Mrs. Arthur Wells hosted her own birthday party last Saturday, January 9, when Mr. Wells, their son Lorne with Marjorie and their youngsters and Mrs. C. W. Bailey shared dinner and best birthday greetings together. No _Alias Necessary Please let it be known that from now on Maple’s favorite ace photographer is going to use his Car pools are more or less or- ganized §o if you or your young- sters are interested, maybe we can point you in the right direc- tion and you can take your turn as chauffeur and enjoy the pleas- ant and envigorating afternoon of skating. By Mrs. R. Stuart Adjustments in the number of farms in Canada, was the first topic in the special series on ad-- justment in farming, to be dis- cussed by the Forums. This roadcast, which was presented on January 4, dealt with the questions, do farmers produce to much or too little? Does part- time off-farm employment ben- efit Agriculture and what ef- fects does it have? Do you think farmers would favour increasing direction and control of farm business by the farm organiza- tions or government in order to help plan the Agriculture of the future? If you’ve wondered about the line‘ of traffic leaving Maple at- ound 3 pm. of a\ Sunday after- noOn in the Woodbridge direction, just (all in and join us. Each week more and more of all age groups are taking advan- tage of the Sunday afternoon skating facilities at our neigh- bors along No. 7. That horsey set above the tracks has added another stable mate for Belle and Sparky in Mac Hamilton’s barn. Mary Ellen’s and Stan Downey‘s horses have off- ered hours of pleasant trails via horseback over fields and such and as of last week-end Peter White has officially joined the group with the addition of his beautiful More Bess (or is it to be Beth?) he has just purchased. Keep us posted when thejumping sessions get going. Sunday Afternoon: The Edgeley Farm Forum was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. G._ Wilflzezi Kgffeg'f, Maple. In reply to the first question, a substantial number of Forums said it was their opinion that most farmers are producing too much. Some went on to say they were producing too much for the market but too little to make an adequate living. Others ,said they were producing what was necessary to make a living for themselves and their families. The Edgeley Forum stated that they did not think that farmers produce too much or too little. Now that the waterworks de- partment is directing (around and about in Maple) quantities of that stuff that makes for good rinks when frozen â€" maybe before too long we can have a hockey team of our own. Then perhaps Harry could lend his experience and play under Maple colours. Let’s hope a rink will be in the not too distant future, we have a long list of hockey enthusiasts hiding their time. .. .. ‘ Equestrians All “Harry Goodmakers from Map- le covered himself with glory in a recent game between Rich- mond Hill Juveniles asd Aurora Juniors. The young netminder turned in a brilliant exhibition of goal tending to allow the Aurora team one goal as his teammates scored three in the Aurora net." In January. approximately 5,000 High School students and teachers in 8 York County High Schools will be offered a simple skin-test for tuberculosis to de- termine whether the student has been infected at any time during his life with T. B. germs. The project is part of an effort to discover early cases of tubercul- osis infection by a simple and convenient skin-test process. Got around to glancing over the Sports page of “The Liberal" the other day and several lines just seemed to jump out at me. In case you missed it, it bears r peating â€"V ' The T. B. testing programme is being organized by the York County Health Unit with the as- sistance of the National Sanatorâ€" ium Association, which draws its funds from the Christmas Seal sales. A signed consent from the parents is required for the skin- testing inoculation, and enthus- iastic coâ€"operation of parents and students is expected. The small number of students who show a positive result will he offered free chest xâ€"ray examination as a follow-up to determine whether infection is present.

Hey, How About That: T.B. Skin Test For All In County High Schools Edgeley Farm Forum Upon opening the many, many Christmas cards (aren’t we through with that season yet?) â€" some always stand out and are remembered more clearly. One such card was received from Dr. and Mrs. Ramsay Armitage oi St. Stephens’. It had a pencile sketch of St. Stephen’s Anglican Church, here in Maple, done, I was told, by their son. In black and white it was in detail and most effective â€" and much ap- preciated. We trust you don’t stay away from a meeting such as this think- ing it is much too morbid or doesn't affect you or your family in any way. Ignorance is perhaps one of the cruelest and most of- ten used weapons against us in regards to understanding such illnesses. Come with an open and enquiring, mind and you might even discover you have an hour you could give to help brighten the days of someone less fortun- ate then you in a volunteer cap- acity. In such a way your life will bloom more fully and have added meaning. Re A Christmas Card Surpluses are created by moon- light farmers, contract farmers and not by bona-tfide farmers, the Forum members indicated. In considering part-time off- farm employment, the Forums were divided in opinion as to whether or not this would bene- fit agriculture. Those who were in favor said this was one way of cutting down production and helped young farmers get start- ed. Quite a number of Forums warned that working away from the home farm caused the farm to deteriorate. Said the Edgeley Forum members “we do not think part time farmers help ag- riculture, As a rule, he only takes what he can get for the least time spent or capital expended and possibly only have a second rate product.” When asked if they would fav- our direction or control, approx- imately 75% of the Forum said they would favour some direction and went on to say they prefer- red this to be done by farm or- ganizations rather than a gov- ernment agency. The Edgeley Forum members felt, though, that the government should ad- vise the producers as to the ag- riculture forecast for the future so they could plan their output. Mrs. Martin is president of the York Branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association and is most qualified to bring us up to date on how we can assist in this work and what facilities are av- ailable should the need arise. In seeking a speaker that we felt would be able to acquaint us with the problems, along with the work being done, but this assoc- iation, we looked close to home and fortunately upon being ask- ed, Mrs. Margaret Martin read- ily agreed to speak to the club that evening and show a film. While the Canadian Mental Health Association, with its good works and services, is still fresh in your mind, we’d like to remind you of the first Community and School Club meeting for 1960. This will be held on Wednesday, February 3, at 8:15 p.m. at Geo. Bailey Public School. No doubt most of us have formed our own opinions concerning mental health but very few of us realize the enormity of this disease and how vulnerable we all are. lng process eliminates the need to xray the teen~age and young adult population. When is Maple Road, Mapie Road and when is it Richmond Street? Several people have been asking and it seems most confus- ing. An Added Bright Spot Have you noticed how the Ad- cock Variety Store’s new sign brightens up that corner? Quite an improvement all around. Community and School Club A new skin-testing process is being used which eliminates the traditional needle and syringe. There is practically no discom- fort. The test is "read" by train- ed health staff 4 to 6 days later. own name under his pictures!! We have persuaded him he has used enough test cases up to now so in the future when you see a picture taken in the Maple locale, you can be sure if it’s by â€" White, it is by TOM WHITE and none other. (Perhaps last week when those two wonderful ice storm pictures were credited to a “John White” â€"- it was no doubt those gremlins were back in operation again.” Just Enquiring Dr. R. M. King, medical officer of health, says that the skin test- ing of high school students and teachers in York County will be on an annual basis and will prob- ably be extended to include el- ementary school pupils in the near future. He stresses the im- portance of a continuing fight against tuberculosis, which he says is just as necessary now as in former years, contrary to the impression that tuberculosis is decreasing in importance. The important thing now is to find cases early while complete cure is easy and less time consuming, and thereby keep tuberculosis in check.
