Those who attended the dance to aid the Richmond Hill Refugee Fund on July 22 had a very en- joyable evening of dancing on the new floor of the Masonic Hall. though the attendance was not as large as anticipated. The door prize ( a bushel bas- ket of groceries donated by the Allencourt I.G.A.) was won by Mr. and Mrs. M. Christie of Browndale Crescent. The three lady winners of the spot-dance prises (donated by Wight's, Richmund Heights and Malnprize Pharmacies) were: Mrs. Joan Riley. Mrs. Jean Mc~ Intosh, and Mrs. L. Kew.

A thriller suspense play “Tres- pass” will be the Curtain Club’s fall presentation. The direction of the play will be in the capable hands of Mr. Stephen Ker Ap- pleby with ten years experience of Broadway behind him, as was well demonstrated in the highly successful prodlmtidn of "Blithe Spirit" last fall. Castings will be held in early September. Mr. Warwick Butt of “Warwick House” has just returned from two enjoyable weeks spent travel- ling through the New England states to Bar Harbour.

Or entertained out of town friends? 01' maybe went dashing off on a holiday to faraway places? These are the things that make for. “Life in the Hill” . . and your ed1- tor would appreciate hearing about such social ‘doings’.

He saw several dozen different springs somewhat smaller than Old Faithful. He also took pic- tures of some moose, brown bears and their cubs. “The bears are quite wild," Mr. Hill said. "One mustn't get out of cars. In fact because the bears climb up at the side of the cars, all win- dows must be kept closed.” Going west through the state of Montana to the Canadian bor- der to Lethbridge, Alta, he Vis- it'ed Calgary, Medicine Hat. Bran- don, Winnipeg, Fort William, con- tinuing east from Hearst to New Liskeard, Kirkland Lake, the route being all through the nor- thern part of Ontario. They found accommodation quite reasonable. The average distance covered per day was 250 miles and the total distance covered was 6,000 miles. Mr. George M. Hill has re- cently returned from a four week trip, taking him through several midwestern states stopping at one place particularly, Cody, Wyo- ming - the famous home of Buf- falo Bill Cody. visiting his fam- ous museum of the pioneer days.

He also visited a famous Hydro dam the base of which was 108 feet wide narrowing to 10 feet at the top with railing on each side so touriSts could walk round and take pictures. The many friends of W.
