This initial group has held three meetings but much behind scenes and extra hours have been put in, in finalizing details. so proposed plans could be outlined and distributed in the form of a questionaire to all residents of Nor-Maple Subdivision. Hearing of a new active group forming in Maple with emphasis on the betterment of the com- munity appearance-wise and in added neighborliness, always sparks the interest of everyone, so we’ll look forward to more news regarding same for our column. as they progress. St. Stephen’s W. A. The regular meeting of St. Ste- phen's WA. was held at the rec- tory, the home of Mrs. Armitage, Wednesday evening, February 10. Mrs. Geo. Robson presided and Mrs. James Martin gave the scrip- ture reading. After the devotion- al period and reports from the executive, “Talent Money” was given to each member â€" inter- esting results are expected from this effort at the June meeting. Following the benediction. re-1 freshments were served by Mrs. J. H. Hays and Miss Philippa Longdon. Birthdays Galore And I Draw A Blankl! I really goofedl! While working on the father and son banquet I heard several birthdays men- tioned by the youngsters and I was delighted â€" howsomever it also proved I have a one track mind (which doesn’t help by be- ing pointed out at this time) â€" I thought I was remembering them but evidently the turkey and pie and ice cream being more immediate, sort of pushed the Enames into a remote corner. I do remember a little Watson girl on Lancer Drive, was three last week and another little Walfrev girl, on gailway Street was six last Fri- ay. These Guests Really Enjoyed It WiMeimbers were elcted to assiét the Maple Cancer Society with their project in March: John Cringan was 147y’ears of age on February 16, but treated his friends to a wonderful even- ing (by all accounts) last Satur- day night. Mr. R. J. Cringan â€" that’s John's dad, is the Director of Music at Earl Haig Collegiate in Toronto and Saturday night a play was presented there, follow- edrby a musical variety show. Celebrating his birthday a few days early and at the same time greatly pleasing his friends he had invited to help celebrate with him, they all piled in cars and 0E they drove to the evening of fun and entertainment. Those enjoying a night out on the town were host John Cringan and guests Helen Spencer, Mary Ellen Hamilton, Marilyn Brice, Bill Robson, Michael Weir, John Cleworth and brother Fraser Cringan. There was added excitement when Michael Weir drove up be- hind the Cringan’s car and start- led a large owl sitting on top of it. Mike says the wingspread must have been a good twenty-eight 1n- ches! Scary But Fascinating Driving a gang over to Wood- bridge to skate Sunday afternoon in that blizzard was a new ex- perience for yours truly. We un- derstand No. 7 wasn’t quite as bad but coming home alone â€" of course we chose to go along the 400 and WOW â€" Maple Road â€" even more so! (Watching the swirling snow cross the road in front of us tended to sort of hynotize â€" ac‘ tually we're positive we saw J ohn- ny Mathis rising up at difierent points. giving out with a chorus of “Misty”. (Oh I watch too much TV). It’s well worth a couple of hours to go over to the arena and watch the youngsters skate. Some are so very small but game- ly in there trying. Maple is well represented by all sizes, and even the parents (usually taking turns) seem to enjoy the outing. One mother. enjoying a hot coffee along the sidelines with a neigh- bor, had a book along â€" said she gets more chance to get caught up on her reading of an after- noon there than at home â€" where father was saddled with the small- er, noisier fry. A Northern Visitor Jim and Audrey Cowan have recently become home owners in Nor-Maple and they are pleasant- ly impressed with our town. They belong in that active group an- xious to improve their surround- ings because they like it here. Audrey's brother, Frank Durstan, having received such glowing re- ports, came to see for himself last week-end â€" from Elliot Lake. Hospitalized Blake Yake is representing Maple at the Toronto General Hospital still and we hope to hear of his returning before too long. You look after "yourself Ina and send that cold hoppingl!

Out of Town Visitors Mrs. 1. ’Watson and Mr. Jack- son Cook have had several friends recently visiting them from out of town. The Saddest Cub Of All Not too many weeks ago Grant Rose joined B Cub Pack, just in time to get his name in for the father and Son banquet. All he thought of was joining the other Cubs with their fathers on Feb- ruary 12. The 12th turned out to be a dark day indeed. His school class was having a Valentine party in the afternoon, but by noon time he was feeling so very tough, but maybe if he went to school he could still make the banquet. No such luck -â€" by supper time he couldn’t pretend feeling O.K. any more â€" and missed his first Cub Part)“. ‘ n on . mL r'ffiét wasn’t all either!

SCARBORO : The township re- warded five persons for “good works” at a recent council meet- ing by presenting them with enâ€" graved copper plaques. By Mrs. R. Stuart Advertising by the farmer of his products and whether it pays was the topic discussed by the Farm Forums the first week of February. The broadcast, heard February 1, asked three ques- tions: Do you think commodity groups in Canada should adopt national advertising programs or should they devote their resour- ces to finding out what the con- sumer prefers? Should we have a national advertising program embracing all commodities to in- crease the farmer’s share of the consumer’s dollar?In what other way could we increase the con- sumption of your products? The Edgeley Farm Forum was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Jacksqn. Edgeley Forum Debates Farm Products’ Market "L13. nauyxu v .- v In answer to the first ques- tion, the Edgeley group was a- mong the majority of Forums who thought more commodity groups should have national ad- vertising campaigns and was also among quite a number of Forums that stressed the importance of research into consumer prefer- ences and felt the two programs should go hand in hand. Some thought the research should come before advertising and a few said farmers couldn’t afford money for either advertising or research - this should be left to the middleman or the retailer. 1 p__.1 IIIC uuuu.\...._.. .. In considering a national food advertising program embracing all commodities, about two-thirds of the Forums thought it was a good idea although there was some difference of opinion about whether it would increase the farmer’s share of the consumer’s dollar. Edgeley Farm Forum members were among those who did not think that it would help. The topic for the February meeting of Vellore Sr. Women’s Institute was Agriculture and Canadian Industries. The re- sponse to the roll call was to name a farm hazard and tell how to overcome it. The motto was - Industry keeps the body healthy, the mind clear, the heart whole and the purse full. Mrs. G. Docks and Mrs. H. Stephenson had attended the Leaders Training Course for the sewing project - Focus on finâ€" ishing. Mrs. Dooks explained the nature of the course and Mrs. Stephenson showed the work that had been done. Plans were made for the course to be held at Vel- lore Memorial Hall. Mrs. G. Burbidge, convener of program, read an article on the Motto showing that we must have the correct mental attitude to- ward work; what is one’s duty to work and value obtained from work. Mrs. L. Weldrick’s paper con- tained many ways of preventing outbreaks of fire in a home. This included warning of careless smoking habits and handling of matches; improper handling of ashes, rubbish, papers and paint; risky storage of gasoline and use of kerosine. Mrs. N. Kerr had asked Mrs. F. Constable to give a talk on her recent trip to Florida and other states of USA. Mrs. Constable had many interesting things to tell and pictures of interest from Florida, Kentucky, New Orleans and Washington D. C. The trip included a visit to Nassau and articles from there - straw goods An "International Day” pro- gram was enjoyed _when the Ed- geley Women’s Institute met at the home of Mrs. Fred Bodker recently. The roll call was “Name a vegetable starting with the first letter of surname." Mrs. Roy Keffer convened the program. Mr. Bill Sille of the Real Es- tate Board was a very interesting guest speaker who discussed the industrial sub-division at No. 7 Highway and Jane Street and answered a host of questions ask~ ed by his many listeners. Mrs. Harvey Wood, president and Mrs. Ed. Roden. Secretary West York Women’s Institute dropped in for the afternoon and heard Mrs. Bodker, dressed in Danish Costume, as she talked about the land of her birth and displayed such handwork as. crocheting, articles of sliverware and fancy vases and dishes. At the close of the meeting Mrs. Bodker, assisted by the soc- ial committee served Danish open-faced sandwiches, Danish pastry and little Danish cakes to her very appreciative guests. On February 25 and 26, a short course on “Focus and Fin- ishes" will be held at Mrs. Bod- ker’s home with Mrs. James Spencer and Mrs. Chas. Agnew conducting the class. Mrs. Spen- cer and Mrs. Agnew recently at- tended the Local Leaders’ Train- ing School and learned all about the correct finishes to achieve a well made look on clothes and received instruction in cutting from commercial patterns, fac- ings, hems, zippers etc. This class which will be held from 10.00 am. to 4.00 pm: is open for all women to atfend. Quite a number of Forums didn’t think it would and of those who favored a national scheme, about two-thirds qualified their approval. These Forums would support it if such a program would increase the farmer’s share. Of those who were not in favor, the majority thought in- dividual commodity groups should handle their own cam- paigns while some could see no value in the farmer trying to ad- vertise his products because they were all in the raw form and he couldn’t stand behind the end product. Edgeley Farm Forum ‘members favored one advertising program for all commodities to ‘avoid duplication and to advertise home grown products as against imported foods. Suggestions as to how the‘ consumption of farm produce could be increased ranged all the way from marrying off the bach- elors and outlawing slimming diets to improved food education, improved quality, packaging and merchandising. About half the Forums thought the mainten- ance and improvement of quality through better breeding, feeding, grading and so on was a possible method of increasing consump- tion. Said the Edgeley Farm For- um members, we believe con- sumption can be increased “by attractive packaging, attractive posters and glass jars. Study consumer food preferences and advertise the products seasonal- ly.” Increased; population, espec- ialy by encouraging immigration was suggested by a number of Forums. Research into new uses for farm products was mentioned while increased exports, to needy countries, had some support. Mrs. N. Kerr read an article for Miss A. Kerr which showed the dependence of folk on results of farmer’s work. Mrs. B. Farr conducted a con- test for Mrs. J. Julian. In an egg shell had been put a number of small articles. The contest con- sisted of guessing the contents. It as surprising how many things were in the shell. At the close of the meeting, a At the close of the m4 social time was enjoyed.

Eng., Chief Engineer, Toronto & York Roads Commission Edgeley Socials . E. Toole, On February 8 an interesting panel discussion on “TV or no TV" took place at the school. The regular February meeting was‘ well-attended for a change. The panel, which consisted of Mr. McWhirter, Mrs. McLean. MrS. Doliery, Mrs. Davis, Mr. Bright and Chairman Ross Knight, took questions from a recent article in the Ladies’ Home Journal en- titled “How Movie and TV viol- ence affects Children." Much of the article was read to those pres- ent. The panel members gave their own impressions regarding the questions in the article. and although 'no earth-shaking con- clusions were drawn, the subject made a very interesting meeting. The annual dance will be held on March 18 at Maple Commun- ity Hall.

On Friday evening, February 12, the congregation of Zion Lu- theran Church, Maple, held a reception for their new pastor, Mr. Norman Wagner and his family. Special guests for the ev- ening were Rev. Wallace Minke, Church of the Good Shepherd, Toronto; Rev. R. Tubbe, Bethes- da, Unionville and the mission church at Richmond Hill, and Dr. Armitage. rector of St. Stephen’s Anglican Church, Maple. The other Maple clergymen were in- vlted, but were unable to attend because of previous engagements, Entertainment for the evening took the form of a game of pro- gressive croquinole, with prizes being awarded for the highest and lowest scores. A lunch was served by mem- bers of the U.L.C.W. and while everyone was enjoying this, the visiting pastors each gave a few words of welcome to Mr. Wag- ner, and also filled everyone in 3117' the latest developments in their own parishres.

The pleased reaction from the surprised Cubs left no doubt as to the acceptability of the gift. Cubbing, as the initial part of scouting, is steeped in jungle lore, and the wolf head has an important part in their ceremon- 1e5. Rev. B. F.
