Joan Hodgson hosted a mixed party of guys and gals last Satur- day night. Those joining in the fun and getting in some practice a la Arthur Murray. were Helen Spencer, Julie Welham, Marilyn Brice, Bill Robson, Michael Weir, John Cringan and John Cle- worth. Now let's see this group take the lead and encourage others to follow when toes start tapping to the swinging beat (or will be it be rock’n roll?) come Saturday afternoon after the Junior Bow- ling League wind up their sea» son with a banquet at the Com- munity Hall at noon.

Well one sure thing, â€" you can’t sit down and write Maple Notes and watch the Academy Awards at the same time! Furth- er hindering completion of M.

Yes sir, its just the type of tonic needed when Spring seems so hesitant to put in an appearance. ‘ A Strain 0n Allegience Who knows, what with water coming in to Maple, some day we might have such a champion- ship hockey team to represent us â€" providing we get ambitious and interested enough to plan some future rinks. Worth a thought anyway. Maple Notes vs Oscar: 7 It sounded like such a terrific community effort and a wonder- ful experience for these young fellows who one day might find themselves around this time com- peting for the Stanley Cup!! â€" that we thought we’d like to let you know about it. Here’s a friendly neighborly greeting and many kudos to Bob Ernst et al and best wishes for a terrific finale. Wouldn’t you know that Mon- treal and Toronto would be fight- ing it out for the Stanley Cup. This is one of those times our house is most unpopular and sure gets ostracized when caught cher- ring for â€"â€"- guess who? The Scout Mothers Prove Their Interest: ' Seems like Brampton is throw- ing the town open to youngsters of 45 hockey teams participating from April 16-23 in this tourna- ment. They are boys of nine and under: and coming from as far away as Trenton, Sault Ste. Mar- ie and Port HuronK Michigan. A combined operation of wo- men of seven churches will feed and billet these young enthus- iasts in townfolk’s.homes. Shingles & Roofing Materials, etc. Sayrisn't it a wonderful feel- ing when after days of planning different ways and means to try to re-kindle interest in‘the mem- bers of lst Maple Boy Scout La- die‘s Auxiliary and a “Get Ac- quainted" evening is planned and you wishfully suggest perhaps 15 or 18 might show up â€"- then the night arrives and as you go through the door with the guest from headquarters. there ‘ are “thirty threé” mothers awaiting you. It’s really something, (so cafi give them. Former Co-Worker StillAActivq The entertainment will be pro- vided by a program of Cubbing and Scouting activities by a re- presentative group.

Mrs. Raymond Stuart, AV. 5-1934. 8 to 12 Saturday Business matters were kept'to a minimum. The big disappoint- ment of the evening was in the absence of our past presi- dent, Pat Davis. Pat became pres- i nt when the auxiliary was first formed over twa and a half years ago. Hers was the task of organizing from scratch and at times must have seemed a thank- les- job. To- step in now after her tremendous contributions to scouting and all it implies is rather scary to put it mildly. Wishing to surprise her, we didn’t tell her our plans, only that “the ‘etired” members of the former executive, Marg Ker- rigan, secretary and Muriel Weir, membership convenor and her- self, were invited to join our first meeting. Unfortunately Pat was unable to attend and there we were left holding an impres- sive message from the Group Committee consisting of a spec- ial thank you for Pat and a Past President’s pin to have been pre- sented by Mrs. Cassidy â€" not to mention the. monologue pains- takingly and brilliantly memor- ized by the new president! How- ever, if only in spirit, our grate- ful thanks went out to Pat for her inspired leadership in guid- ing and showing us how best we could assist our cub or scout by supplying equipment and sup- plies thus enabling him to “Be Prepared" and get the most out of Scouting. That’s a most sin- cere Thank You, Pat Davies, com- ing from an auxiliary that first came to be, because of your in- terest in scouting in your com- munity. A"; t- By Toby Shore Having dropped my husband Len off at the Union Station EA route to Montreal, I started tht trek back to Maple and as I turned along Yonge Street, my nerves were shattered to see a motor cycle policeman appear from nowhere and wave me over to the curb. Lowering my win- dow and mentally checking if I had my license, if the light; were on, and thank heavens the brakes had been re-set that day- I heard this very pleasant type say â€"â€" “Did you know your door wasn’t shut tight?” r c __ w, of salads and cold turkey (in freezer from Father & Son Ban- quet) cakes. cookies and coffee â€"â€" picture slides taken by Dr. Phil MacFarlane, a‘ B pack cub father, were shown.

The interposed “scenic” views were much enjoyed too. Thanks to Cub John‘s father for the loan and int rest shown. Anything following that lovely lunch would have been an anti- climax so our first meeting came to a close?

She is a most gracious hostess and reâ€"styled the living room of her lovely new home, to accomodate the large turnout. Our guest was Mrs. C.

Most of our questions put to Mrs. Cassidy were already an- swered in the complete and com- prehensive summary she gave on the whys and wherefores con- cerning Ladies Auxiliaries.

(You see I am at 'an advantage because besides being the Presi- dent of said Auxiliary, I am also your Maple Notes correspondent. This way perhaps we will see at active group or methinks that oft repeated old saying “on by the way Toby â€"- that isn’t meant for your column” â€"- just might not hold water !1! there is a small “har” there somewhere.) Lvuy ..... All that left is to remind the mothers that the next meeting will be in the Lion’s Room at Community Hall, the 4th Wed- nesday, April 2'7, at 8.15 pm. It would be wonderful to have those same 33 round up even mose mothers to attend. much so that you can’t for the life of you remember the words for the opening prayerl!) That’s how things stood on Wednesday evening, last week. when the first Auxiliary meeting for this season was held. Wow -- Hastin explaining I had just slid over to take the wheel after letting my husband out and hadn’t thought to check the door. he asked to see my license. Upon producing same, he asked me my present ad- dress and I said Richmond Street, Maple â€" where upon he started to ask me if I knew “so and SO" in Maple and proceeded to dis- cuss the beauty of surrounding country side etc. Then, with a friendly â€" “Well. its been very nice chatting with you, have a safe trip to Maple" â€"â€" I jerkily shifted gears and weakily said, thanks and took off. Guess it gets a trifle boring and lonely riding around at that hour without even a companion in the side cal-E! The moral of my story is, â€"- just appreciate your town of Maple â€" you never, know when or where it will find you in good stead.

Another re- cent visitor was “Whipper” Billy Watson who spoke to the boys and later treated them to the wrestling matches at Maple Leaf Gardens. On Saturday of last week a group of 60 people from the North York Young Married Couples Club “ere visitors to hear the programme that is be- ing carried out at the house and to see through the buildings. Lunch was served at the close of the meeting. Another very pleas- ant event that has taken place there recently was the birth of a nine pound two and one half ounce son, Wesley Malcolm, to Capt. A. and Mrs; MacCorquo- dale after sixteen years of mar- riage. Capt. MacCorquodale is very happy to have three new local‘ people as members of the staff, Mrs. E. Smith; Mrs. Mona Davies and Mrs. M.

Guides and Brownies: The next regular meeting of Concord Home and School Assoc- iation will be held at the school on Monday, April 11, at 8 pm. Mrs. Wearing, our present grade one teacher, will speak on “How to prepare your child for grade one.” No parents of a child ready to enter grade one should miss hearing all the aspects concern- ing this new world their child is about to enter. Also to be ,dis- cussed at the meeting will be the possibility of sponsoring swim- ming instruction for school child- ren during the summer months. Refreshments will be served by the mothers of children in Miss Wier's room. House Of Concord: The first Concord Guides were honoured by a visit from Mrs. McTaggart Cowan, District Com- missioner for the Thornhill Area at their last meeting. Also visit- ing the company was Guide Lu~ cille Trude] of “first Thornhill Guide Company. Lucille was an- swering one of the challenges a guide must do to earn her Gold Cord. This challenge was to de- liver an illustrated talk on Guid- ing in some other country. Lu~ cille chose Girl Scouting in the United States and used many in- teresting pictures to illustrate the difference in Guiding in Canada and Scouting in the States. In passing this test Lu- cille was responsible for a very interesting and infOrmative meet- ing for Concord Guides. The Guides and Brownies of Concord would like to take this opportun- ity to thank the residents of Con- cord and Maple for the many cookie orders that helped to make our Cookie Day a success. Brownies Lynda Bailie, Danell Day, and Darlene Williamson passed their House Orderly bad- ges at the home of ,badge exam- iner Mrs. Iris Orr.

Hillside Ave. When Mr. and Mrs. Ross Knight, Kinghigh Drive. planned to entertain their old friends of the "Adeiphi" class of the Wal- mer Road Baptist Church in To- ronto they had the idea, we were going to have snow for some time. However when Friday, Ap- ril lst, came along, spring had sprung and there was mostly mud around. Mr. Bert Witty came to the rescue and hitched the team to the wagon and the party enjoyed a slightly off sea- son hay ride instead. While re- freshments were being served at Mr. and Mrs. Knights later, all agreed that a very pleasant ev- ening was spent in spite of the lack of snow. The First Concord Cubs and Scouts Mothers Auxiliary held their regular monthly meeting at the home of Mrs. Viola Wood, Dufferin Street on Monday even- ing March 28. After the business for the evening had been dealt with the members enjoyed four tables of court whist. Prizes were won by Mrs. Peggy Wiedeman, Mrs. Tess Haines, Mrs. Helen Kentner and Mrs. Marion Bate- man. Members were asked to come next month to make sug- gestions on future money making ventures.
