'4 THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday. February 25, 1960 Editor Margot Crack “Bienvenu a gai Paris" â€"â€" From the moment you saw the sidewalk cafe with the gay red and white awning, small tables. ‘ivy cover- ed trellises evergreen hedge and very colourful travel posters it was not difficult to imagine that you were indeed in the capital city of France. Going through the cafe doors you entered the main section of Paris with a magnificent Eiffel Tower (12’ x 12’ at the base and as high as the ceiling, entwined with pink and white streamers) commanding the en- tire scene. Two very authentic murals decorated two walls, de- picting street scenes of Paris and what is always associated with that gay city, champagne and glasses. Behind the Queen’s throne on the stage, was a very lovely silver sprinkled blue cur- tain decorated with a silver fleur- de-lis, while at the foot of the stage were evergreen boughs and cedars interspersed with colour- ful snapdragons. Along the back wall was‘a white picket fence with big trees behind it and in one corner a pink flower cart overbrimming with roses. In the cafeteria were two murals â€" the Notre Dame Cathedral and the Arc de Triomphe, and in the library, street scenes of Paris and a large champagne bottle were depicted. â€"â€" three boys were invested: Michael Allen. Gordon Timper- on, and Norman Steai‘ne. S-cout Bill Newton-Smith was presented with his Proficiency Badge, Soil Conservation. The group discuss- ed plans for their hike (north- east of the town) on Satu d March 19. r ay’ "Parents’ Night” marked the meeting of the 6th Richmond Hill Scouts Group on Monday night, February 22.

The above was the scene on the occasion of the Richmond Hill High School annual “At Home” and great credit is due to Lois Perkins. Jill Ruffman, Marilyn Louw and Sandy Smith, members of the decorating committee and their many friends for their in- genuity and hard work that must of necessity have gone into pro- ducing such a realistic and imag- inative setting as was seen and ap- preciated by the many students and guests attending this year’s “At Home”. Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Bolender, missionaries in Nigeria, West Af- rica, will be the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Maynard Hallman, Roseview Avenue next week.

She hurried out to the officer and went to some lengths to explain that she took a little longer drin- king her cofiee than she had thought but that she couldn't be more than a few minutes overdue on the meter, etc.. etc.. and in any case was just about to leave. The officer obviously impressed either with her story or her abil- ity to tell a story, pocketed his book and pencil and with a salute left her to drive away. Imagine the lady’s amazement when she tried to open the. door of the car and found that it wasn’t her car after all! Her car was up the road a bit with ten minutes still on her meter! And as a sequel to this story, the car in question be- longed to a friend of hers who was most grateful for her timely The annual Father and Son banquet of the4th Richmond Hill Cub and Scout troops was held on Monday evening.
