Over 2,700 people went to th polls â€" 75.3 per cent of the estimated total eligible voters. Aurora has been dry since 1916. _._...._, Maplev United Church, with Rev. H. W.

You will be made to feel most welcome in these churches and you are urgedrto attend a ser- vice at this Easter time. On Sunday, April 3. 1960 at St. Matthias Ang.ican Church, on Royal York Road, Toronto, little Janice Marie Schlllace, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Schillace, Railway Street, Maple. was christened. Hope and Edgeley will also hold their special Easter Sunday service with their Pastor Rev. Davies. These two churches be- long to the Maple United Church Pastoral Charge with Sunday ser- vices at 10.30 a.m. at Hope and 2.307 pJfl. at Edggley. _ ‘ Following the ceremony, Jan- ice's grandmother,’ Mrs. James Speed, was happy hostess for a dinner and party at her home in Toronto. special Good Friday morning Ier- vice Meditation “The Cross A Modern Burden," at 10.30 mm. The Easter Sunday Service, at 11.30 a.m., will feature special Easter Music and the sermon topic will be, “The Resurrection- A Potent Force.” . Family Observes Christening And Triple Birthday The party was to celebrate the birthdays of the three Schillace children all born in April - and all born on a Monday!! Johnnie, was 3, April 8 and Judy will be 2, April let and Janice will be one year old April 20. Out of town guests-on this happy occasion were Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Larry, Raymond Larry and Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Taylor and family, all from Pe- terborough. Shingles & Roofing Materials, etc. As we said, April stands out, as we are made aware through press releases and medical re- ports, of the need to support this tremendous undertaking. With each passing year. great strides are taken in research and our hopes rise high as we look to that day when a cure can finally be realized â€"- but right now its our money that will give the big- gest boost. With the turn of each new month your representatives, the Maple Branch of the Canadian Cancer Society are actively en- gaged in providing the care and supplying the needs of this dis- trict. All worthwhile projects have a pleasant social side along with the required "labor". So it was that on Aprl 6 Mrs. Betty Big~ ford, Mrs. il Smart and Toby Sho‘re, as executive members, and Betty Hodgson of Women’s Ser- vices, served Saturday night sup~ per to patients at the' hostel of Princess Margaret Hospital, Tor- onto. Casseroles, salads, deserts, etc., had been prepared by the Maple Branch executive and these four ladies were privileged hos- tesses. Such things usually tend to more or less backfire! While you are planning pleasure for some one in less fortunate cir- cumstances. it turns out to be dif- ficult to ascertain just which one receives the greatest pleasure. 7 Happy Easter everyone and we hope you have your street num- ber up so the Easter Bunny can find you!! Maple Branch. Canadian Cancer Society With this month set aside for the Cancer Campaign. we are re- minded to protect ourselves with a chock-up and assist in helping in research and treatment for others (as well as ourselves if need should arise) by giving a cheque. Mothers Ba Forewamed -â€" Just about the time “The Lib- eral" hits the street â€" Easter holidays are about to commence. All we can ask is that maybe the mud will have dried up. at least almost. by then. While Michael Weir has a few days to himself. this would be the time to call AL. 7-1513 and have Mike see about delivering your "Liberal" to your door â€" each Thursday as a convenience to you! ‘Thls is yet another example of how the community is served through the willing hearts and hands of the members of the Canadian Cancer Society. Local resident R. J. Cringan has noted that several alumni of the Faculty of Music, are like- wise local residents of Maple and district. As president of the Fac- ulty of Music Alumni Association. he (Bob Cringan) would like to mass on this invitation to all fel- low members to attend the an- nual meeting to be held April 18, at 7.30 pm. at Hart House. Make it a pleasant choice and receive the canvasser when he or she calls on you. in like spirit. Sir Ernest McMillan.

While there he visited the observatory of Montreal Centre. and altogether thoroughly enjoy- ed the week end spent “talking shop" with men of a similar in- erest â€" astronomy. In Ice Carnival April 14. 1960 Woodbridge‘ Memorial Arena held its annual skating carnival on April 8 and 9. Once again Sheena McDonald took an active part and appeared in two num- bers. The costumes were bright and attractive and all in all it was a “good show". Perhaps this coming winter other skating en- thusiasts would be interested in joining this group â€" it‘s exciting and lots of fun â€" just ask Sheena! There I Was Stuck” Believe me, when I say the shoulders are soft opposite the United Church, I really know! Coming out of church Sunday morning. I overheard several people mention the car across the road really looked as 11 it was sure stuck â€" and some even sympathized withfihe» poor guy! However in no time it was quite obvious the “poor guy" was Toby Shore, and just as obviously, the car WAS stuck. Snider presiding at the tea Maple Notes Many faithful radio listeners were saddened over the Week end to learn of the passing of Mickey Lester. He was one personality who had his own distinctive style and through the many years he entertained his "friendlies" he became a household favorite in countless homes.

At a meeting held in Maple Community Hall. March 15, 1960, the residents of Normaple Sub- division met to discuss ways and means of improving their own particular “suburbia” and re- view pertinent facts to be brought forth by the reCently- formed fact-finding committee. As spokesman ‘for this commit- tee. Mr. John Jarvis chaired the the meeting and after welcoming everyone present. introduced the guest, Reeve John Perry. Mr. Perry, after welcoming all pres- ent to the Town of Maple and the Township of Vaughan, gave an interesting and informative talk on the history of Maple. Wishing the residents of Normap- 1e every success he, upon closing, presented a copy of the book, “The History of York” and a map of the Village of Maple to Mr. Jarvis. Mr. Bill Phillips thanked Reeve Perry on behalf of the residents. 'Rev. Harold-r Davies of Maple United Church acted as mediator for an election of a representative committee.

Lets hope thehockey games will be over in time for the next meeting to take place sometime in May, as the association is planning on having a member of the Vaughan Town- ship Area School Board as their guest speaker. Watch for more news about this important meet- ing. One of our well known lad- ies in Concord, Mrs. R. M. Mc- Lean. Kinghigh Dr. will be ap- pearing on the Wendy Hicks pro- gramme on channel three on Thursday. April 21, at 3.30 pm. Chatelaine magazine is publishâ€" ing one of Mrs. McLean’s articles in their May issue. This one is entitled “How to build a house while living in it" and should prove more than interesting to many bf us. We may even be able to laugh a little, now that most of the ordeal has been accom- plished. A few of us who cannot get channel three ‘on our sets are planning to get together at a friends house who does. Maybe we should plan a Marg. McLean T. V. party. Fortunately the Mc- Leans decided to have their fam- ily bout with the flu over and done with last week so that Marg. could be free to be on the pro- gramme. Cubs and Scouts A number of residents of No. 7 Highway report having huhcaps etc., stolen from their cars. One person also had gas stolen from his trucks recently. We would probably be well advised to make certain that all car keys are re- moved so as not to make it pos- sible to have our cars the next thing on their list. It would be a good idea too if we were to in- vestigate (from a safe distance of course) any unusual noises or the sound of dogs barking late at night and telephone the police so that they may have a chance to apprehend the culprits at the scene of the crime. Concord Community Ratepayers Guide Captain Mrs. Elva Whao ley and Lieutenant Mrs. Eliza- beth Bailie along with Brown Owl Mrs. Barbara Fraser and Tawney Owl, Mrs. Loreen Sim- mons attended the Jubilee Din- ner commemorating fifty years of Guiding in Canada which was held at Yangtze Pagoda in Rich- mond Hill.

Well it happened this way the executive decided at the last minute to have an entirely different pro- gramme and it was too late to change the announcement. And as the news goes into the Liber- al on Monday afternoon and the meeting takes place on Monday evening those of you who missed the meeting will have to wait until next week to find out just what the programme was about.

NEWMARKET â€"- The Town aud- itor presented the financial statement for the year ending December 31, 1959, to council on Monday evening. The year end- ed with a surplus of only $2.194 on a total revenue of $925,114. This was in marked contrast to the close of 1958 when a surplus of nearly $24,000 was recorded. Tax arrears for 1959 amounted to $97,411. Perhaps the only bright spot in a clouded horizon was the $1,316,000 debenture debt out_- standing â€"- the lowest figure since the end of 1956.
