The Pop Concert of the Rich- mond Hill Figure Skating Club held on Jan. 13th was an even- ing of enjoyment for its mem- bers, parents and friends. The skaters, dressed in their twirling skirts and colourful hats and mitts, demonstrated edges and dances and amazed everyone with their gracefulness and ability and it‘ is certain that each parent felt that their child had pro- gressed in the art of figure skat- ing. The boys looked dashing in their gray flannels and blazers and made very handsome danc- ing partners. They also showed that they are just as nimble on their skates as the girls. The guest artists provided a thrill,that will last throughout 1960. Miss Wendy Griner, of the Toronto Skating and Cricket Club, dazzled every one in her tangerine coloured dress, the simplicity, of which, made it most effective. After watching her flawless skating with intricate leaps and twirls it is small won- der that she is the Junior Ladies Champion of Canada and we wish her great' success in thé Olympics to be held at Squaw Valley in February. Miss Griner represented a goal toward which the 200 members of the Rich- mond Hill Figure Skating Club are striving. 7 Mr. Louis Stong, of the Union- ville Skating Club, ever popular with the audience in Richmond Hill received standing applause during his spectacular perfor- mance. An evening such as this is possible only through the efforts of so mam; willing mothers ~ of Mr. Chuck Keil, the club profes- sional, who with the assistance of Mrs. Marion Thompson organ- ized the programme â€" and Mr. Walter Smith who so ably ful- filled his role as announcer. Miss Debbie Wilkes and Mr. Guy Revell, of the Union-ville Skating, Club, are the Junior Pair Champions of Canada. They performed with such beauty of precision‘that the audience was awe struck until the end of their number when they were greeted with thunderous applause. Miss Wilkes wore a lovely \crimson dress studded with sparkling se- quins. Miss Griner and Miss Wilkes were presented red roses through the .courtesy of the H. J. Mills Co. The "youngest skaters in the club pleased the crowd and ap- peared on the programme as “Stars of To~morrow." Some of the senior girls pres- ented solos which were enthusi- astically received and it is inter- esting to note that each of the girls had chosen their music and prepared their own routine. A Door prizes donated by Shep- pard and Gill Lumber Co., Al's Cycle and Sport Shop and the Smith Manufacturing Co. were drawn during the intermissionz Telephone Convenor, Mrs. Dan Doctor.

Both speakers were fully appreciated by the audience, and a lively question and answer period fol- lowed. During the evening mus- ical entertainment was provided by Mr. Joseph Rabinowitch who played the cello and his two sons. David and Roydon with their violins. Mrs. D. Emms convened the refreshments, and the Walter Scott Home and School Associa- tion kindly loaned the dishes for the occasion. At the conclusion of the meeting twenty six new members joined the association, and the Home and School execu- tive were delighted with the in- terest shown by the parents and hope it will continue.

When ask- ed whether this was dangerous work, his renlv was “No, not it vou go about it in the right way.” The genial Doctor, who still pos- sesses his own teeth. good hear- ing and evesiaht. believes in mo- deration in all things, abstinence from tobacco and alcohol. advo- cates the right amount of work. exercise, interests, hobbies and the “right state of mind." On S-undav, when the various mem- bers of the family gather to com- memorate the anniversary of his 9lst birthday, it is the sincere hope of all that there will be many more similar happy ev- ents in the life of such an es- teemed and venerable citizen of Richmond Hill as Dr. Rolph Langstafi. MM The period often referred to as “The Gay Nineties” was in this locality, termed “The Muddy Nineties," as, when Dr. Rolph sometimes visited his patients an Bayview Avenue and concession "roads" - he was often forced to halt the horses and dig out the clay that was lodged in between the spokes of the high wheeled buggy. When the day of the "horseless carriage” arrived, in the year 1902 Dr. Rolnh pur- chased his first automobile - a 1902 Oldsmobile â€" the same mo- del that prpvoked the song “In mv merry Oldsmobile" - with tiller steering, full / elliptic sorings. side cranking and out- side flvwheel. Then came the Ford era, with the Doctor buy- ing a Ford model “S”. followed o,v a model “'1‘”. then by a series of Ford “Vâ€"8’s”. th. area now named Langstaff - a distance of 550 miles. Having secured the desired spot, Con- cession 1, Lot 36, John Langstaff made the round trip to New Jer- sey, 1,100 miles again on horse- back, in 1808. In his boyhood days, Dr. Rolph Langstaff spent many interesting holidays on his grandfather's farm as its activ- ities included farming, sawmill. ing and the manufacture of ag- ricultural implements. Added in- terest was due to the Indians who lived in their small encamp- mer‘s along what is now High- wav No. 7.
