It was difficult to tell just who was happiest about Music Night ’30, held in the Richmond Hill High School Auditorium last Thursday and Friday night â€" the audience, who received each offering of the Junior and Sen- ior Bands, the Girls’ Choir and the one act play The Rose and Crown by the Library Club, with great enthusiasm and applause; the artists and the actors; or the 'producers,’ Mr. S. W. Atkin- son, music director, or play di- rector, Mr. N. Roy Clifton. But all in all everyone present had a very good time and enjoyed every minute of the annual af- fair. John Seddon, piano soloist rates special mention for his bright rendition of the "Third German Dance" by Beethoven. Music Night '60 Well Received Perhaps the biggest surprise of the evening was the remarkable progress both Mr. Atkinson and the Junior Band have made in one year. Obiously pleased with this ‘young’ group, Mr. Atkinson bubbled over with delight at the audience. response to their sprightly playing and the encore they regeiyed. _ 1 ,1- way, - v--.

Their “Red River Rose” was a joint partici- pation with band, choir and aud- ience (barely audible we fear) joining in the rousing air. Their marches were all in step - and their ballads, such as “Come Where My Love Lies Dreaming" were further enhanced by the deep wail of a baritone sax or trombone, in a pleasing way. throughout their song, “The Rose and Crown," 3 one- act play by J. B. Priestley. was notable for its adult acting, most especially by Carina Schmarov- ski, as Ma Peck, who look-s like fine material for the future for the Richmond Hill Curtain Club. Carina was a tired disillusioned, faded old woman long past the bloom â€" and one would have thought â€" and love of life. Mr. Stone, played by Bradley Bellis, was also a highlight of the play as he clutched his querulous life to his querulous self, despite the fact he semed to think ‘life was not worth living.’ Mrs-Reed, played by Elizabeth McLeod, presented a non-des- script woman in her fifties and Judith Maddess, as Ivy Randle and Larry Lucas as her husband Percy, were the typical mar- ried couple. Harry Tully, (Mich- ael Burnie) actually the ‘hero’ of the play won sympathy from the audience for his ‘offer to go,’ with 'the Stranger, Peter Hiscott who had appeared at the Rose and Crown looking for a shade’ to complete his quota for the day is here ! 'innerd Richvale The inaugural meeting of the Richmond Hill Lawn Tennis As- sociation was held at the McCon~ aghy Public School at 8.15 pm. on Tuesday. May 10. 68 people were present and Mr. Frank Walsh, chairman of the commit- tee, outlined the plans made to enable tennis to be played in Richmond Hill by possibly the middle of June. Several initial members were enrolled at the end of the meeting and most of the remainder present indicated that they would be joining the Association at a later date. Anyone ForTennis Enrolments Now Mr. John Bradstock and Mrs. Cicely Thomson also attended the meeting and spoke on behalf of the Parks Committee and Recrea- tion Committee of the town. We urge tennis enthusiasts to join the Association as soon as pos- sible, the more people who sup- port this new association the sooner will tennis be available in Richmond Hill.

Ends For Local Boys A three-day spree of automo- bile parts thefts by five local youths and two Richmond Hill juveniles ended May 4 when they were picked up by local police. Out of the resultant investigation, they were charged by the Vandorf Provincial Police detachment and appeared before Magistrate 0. S. Hollinrake in Newmarket Crim- inal Court on Monday. They were charged with theft, breaking and entering and being in possession of stolen goods which included a car Wheel, a quantity of gasoline, at car blan- ket, two jacks and a number of hubcaps. The magistrate gave one mem- ber of the gang a six month sus- pended sentence and placed him on probation. Charges against another member were allowed to be withdrawn. Three 17-year-old gang members were held in cus- tody for one week for sentences and the cases of the two juveniles were held over for hearing on Friday. A third local youth, age 16, re- ceived a two-year suspended sen- tence and was also placed on pro- bation. He was faced with 12 charges of theft.

Beth Jones, as Miss Meecham gave one of her de- lightful performances and pro- vided one of the few moments of light relief in an otherwise grim situation. The final scene, in the hotel dining room, was kept mov- ing at a slick pace by the really professional handling of the plates and cutlery by the two “maids” - Gertie Smith and Bob- by Fitzsimmons - two con:rasting characters whom one felt had spent their lives waiting on ta- bles at the Beauregard Hotel.

Last week we published a news item concerning an accident on No. 11 Highway on Monday, May 2nd. in which Norman Meval of Richvale was injured. We lhave been advised that the details as reported were in- correct, and we wish to ap- ologize for any inconvenience occasioned those concerned. Accident Report Incorrect 19, 1969 26, 1960 Wm.

Interment was in York Cemetery. Willowdale. by (The Richmond Hill Naturalists) On Saturday, 7th May the1 Richmond Hill Naturalists enjoy- ed a Field Trip by chartered bus to Presqu’ile along the lines of a similar trip a little later in the season last year. As before, the trip was led by the Society’s pop- ular president Mr. C. R. Tilt and thanks to him and to the organiz- ation work of the Executive Com- mittee and others, a full bus load of members had an interest- ing and enjoyable day during which seventy five species of birds were observed. Of particular interest was the observation of a Lincoln’s Spar- row, which is a ram visitor to this area. In fact this may be the first authenticated observation of this bird at Presqufile. Though bird watching was the most popular activity as usual, and the customary official re- cords were kept; some interesting botanical observations were made, and a check was also carried out on algae Aon the _various beaches. 5 LL:â€" Warblers were less numerous than expected for the time of year. Shore birds were not num- erous though it was a little early for them. Several redheaded woodpeckers were seen, which was gratifying, as they have been scarce for a while. Numbers of Ruffed Grouse and seven Fly- caters deserve mention, as, in passing, do some black flies. Apart from this aspect of this Field Trip dealing with active ob- servation and recording of na- ture, one of fundamental reasons why every member or guest par- ticipated was his or her person- al enjoyment of “The great out- doors" in any or all of its many guises, always including a gen- uine desire that the pleasures they enjoy may remain, and if posivble multiply, for future en- joyment by themselves and all posterity. This, of course, is the meaning of eonservation. Deer tracks were numerous, as were stripped stalks in the un- dergrowth which had provided their winter food. _ _ Anyone, who can, for example, look forward to seeing again, in greater abundance in the Same wild places for all to see, ,a beautiful patch of purple tril- liums nodding in a fresh breeze off Lake Ontario, is at heart a naturalist, and would. we are sure, not only find all other na- turalists congenial. but would be welcome among them, and find greater opportunity and greater scope to derive pleasure from nature, and gain, while doing so, a greater understanding of her fascinating ways: . The Richmond Naturalists are most fortunate in that their mem- bership included a number of well known residents with such great knowledge and enthusiasm, and who are so ready and willing to share with others and thus truly conserve what they them- selves have learned. This is one of the principal reasons why, de- spite a little rain - much less than evidently drenched Rich- mond Hill - all those who filled the big bus to Presqu’ile on May 7, had such an interesting, enjoyable and mutually stimulat- ing adventure “away from it all,” and why also they, and the other members who had to take a rain check, look forward to future meetings and Field Trips. in “u”. ~.=_ ____. 7 The final indoor meeting of the year will be held on Friday, May 13th, at 8 o‘clock, in the auditorium of the Richmond Hill Library. This is our annual business meeting and the nominating committee will pres- ent to the Club a new slate of officers for the coming year. In addition. Mr. and Mrs. '1‘. Board- man will bring a Cornell record- ing of bird songs with correspon- ding colored slides. Birthday Greetings For 713i Winner of the $5.00 vouch- er in the Polaroid “Home of the Week” last week was Mr. Steve Appleby, 100 Centre Street West. Mr. Appleby’s lovely home was the house feaiured in last week’s “Lib- era ”. ‘ Nature Notes Birthday congratulations from his friends and neigh- bours in Concord were ex- tended to Captain W.
