Following the declaration of office and the oath of allegiance admin- istered by Secretary-Treasurer N. C. Jackman, Rev. R. W. French of the Kleinburg United Church said the Prayer of Invocation. Dr. Ramsey Armitage of St. Stephen’s An- glican Church, Maple, gave a short address to the trustees, “words of wisdom and guidance” for the coming tasks in the days ahead. Tasks which would help mould “good citi- zens for our Dominion of Canada,” predicted the speaker. H. A. Constable was re-elected chairman for the coming year. Mrs. Mona Robertson will serve her second term as vice-chairman. The three other trustees are to be chairmen of the major committees. Second-termer S. D. Kaiser, last year’s finance chairman, will act as manage- ment chairman; George Chandler will head the property committee; and Mrs. Dorothy Robertson chairs the finance committee. Members of the various committees will be the other four trustees respectively.

In his acceptance speech Chair- man Constable called the work of last year “establishing roots" for the new school area. and predict- ed this year the job would be to add “limbs and branches". “We must develop what we started in 1960," said Chairman Con- stable and he pledged himself to strive to provide the best pos- sible education for the township of Vaughan. at an early meeting last yegy. . .._U_Vâ€"“. Previous to the chairman’s for- mal acceptance of his office, Sup- erintendent J. A. Gibson present- ed Mr. Constable with the gavel Mr. Constable had previously pre- sented to the board at the last meeting in December. Vice-Chairman‘s Remarks Vice-chairman Mrs. Robertson told the ratepayers present she was “pleased to serve you again and I am looking forward to the next two years. We have strongly, but carefully. started out and are hopeful that all continued chan- ges will always be for the better.” In conclusion Vice-chairman Mrs. Robertson pledged “my support to all of you for the next two years." Trustee Chandler In his inaug- ural speech said, “I will do the best I can do for all the people of the township." Trustee Kaiser told the rate- payers, “It is an honour and a privilege to act in your behalf as a member of this board and as chairman of the property com- mittee." Trustee Mrs. Dorothy Robert- son stated, “I feel honoured to be given this responsible position as chairman of the finance com- mittee; but with all the members of the board acting on my comâ€" mittee I know it will not be as large a responsibility as it would otherwise be without your exper- ienced help." Joint High School Appointment Though Vaughan Township School Area was only in existence for six days in 1959, December 25th to December 31st, it' had the largest enrollment for this short time of any public school board in the York Central High School District, and so had some claim for makng an appointment to the high school board. Richmond Hill Public School System had the largest enrollment for the major part of the year. It was mutual- ly decided to make a joint ap- pointment and at Thursday night’s meeting Vice-chairman Mrs. Rob- ertson and Trustee Kaiser made the motion to name Ernest Red- elmeier, well-known Vaughan Township resident, to the position of trustee on the high school board. Mr. Redelmeier was pres- ent to accept the honour. He is the former chairman of the board of trustees of rural Patterson Public School. At present his two children attend Pleasantville Pub- lic School in Richmond Hill. Township Official Present Reeve Albert Rutherford brought greetings and said that the council and the board could expect problems in the coming year but he felt the two groups would \be able to so work togeth- er that they would be pleasant du- ties instead of problems. Deputy-reeve Jesse Bryson ex- tended his good wishes as did Councillor Maurice Wlndatt. Councillor Mrs. Ruth McConkey was also present. From the York Central District High School Board, Business Ad- ministrator D. J. Ashworth brought greetings and compli- mented the board on the very fine arrangements for the evening. "We often neglect public rela- tions which‘ are very important to the successful running of school boards." said Mr. Ash- worth. Trustee Mrs. Leo Watson of the Woodbridge Public School Board added her good wishes. Former Vaughan trustee Mrs. Ruth Hogg was alsoipresent. Chairman Constable at the con- clusion of the speeches issued an invitation to the 'ravtepayers to attend the “once a month open meeting of the board on the sec- ond Thursday evening". Following adjournment of the business session those present re- mained for refreshments, served by Teston ladies. AND OTHERS IN THE ESTATE OF Reginald Spragg Cooper. deceased.

Notice To Creditors CARL E. HILL, M.D., M.O.H. Without balances of work and rest. the most rugged constitution will buckle. The need for this balance is illus- trated in part by the nature of the body's chemistry. When any muscle works hard, a lot of extra fuel (called “glyco- gen”) and oxygen is used up. As more fuel is burned, great- er amounts of carbon dioxide and other waste products are produced. In this respect the muscle is no different from any other engine. Normally, the blood stream carries away and disposes of the muscle's waste products, but it cannot do this fast en- ough during periods of heavy work. Only when we're a- sleep. or resting, can the blood “clean house" effic- iently. DEPT. OF HEALTH TWP. OF NORTH YORK Work and Rest A favourite way with many is to start New Year in the bosom of their families or in the company of friends. Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Darlington spent New Year with Mr. Darlington's parents. Mr. and Mrs. J. Darlington of Wood- bridge. Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Peelar of Orlllla spent the New Year week- end at the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. Stuart and on New Year's Eve were joined by Mr. a_nd Mr§._YV. A. Stuart and son, John, and Mr. and Mrs. John Stuart and daugh- ter, Beverly Ann to see the old year out and help welcome in the New Year. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Butt of 01'- angeville and Mr. and Mrs. Har- vey Haddock and grandchildren, Johnny and Laurie, called on Mr. and Mrs. W. Butt during the Christmas holidays and on New Year's day, Mr. and Mrs. Edwin White of Scarborough and Mr. and Mrs. James White from Kingston visited with Mr. and Mrs. Butt. Another delightful get-together occurred on Friday evening, Jan- uary 6, when Miss Jeanette Nor- ton and John Hawkesworth were honored at a miscellaneous show- er at the home of the groom- elect’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. Hawkesworth, attended by 35 guests. Mrs. Willa Columbia, Mrs. Margaret Kirby, Mrs. Jean Kirby and Mrs. Louie Kirby assisted the hostess in attending the guests who were assembled in rooms beautifully decorated with pink streamers and white bells. On the previous evening, Miss Norton's co-workers at the Work- men's Compensation Board ofiice in Toronto tendered her a kit- chen shower. Mrs. Frank Locke and Mrs. C. Peelar convened a meeting of the Edgeley Women's Institute last week at Mrs. Locke's home. The roll call was responded to by each member giving a simple sewing hint. The meeting was honored by the presence of Mrs. Harry Wood, president and Mrs. Roden, sec- retary of the West York District Women’s Institutes, who each brought the members up-toâ€"date on the progress of institute work in the district. Mrs. Locke and Mrs. Peelar conducted several contests which resulted in Mrs. Bert Cook dem- onstrating that she could best and quickest saw on a button. Mrs. Alf. Bagg proved an expert in sewing a quilt block and Mrs. Wood and Mrs. Rodin excelled in work-making contests. 7 Mrs. Bagé won the door prize which was donated by Mrs. A. Avery. Mfs. Locke. Mrs. Peelar and Mrs. Fred Bodker were the soo- ial committee. The Edgeley Women’s Associa- tion members will be meeting at the home of Mrs. C. H. Boake on January 19 to prepare their 1961 program. “If it is at all possible, we want to still be farming in ten years" was the opinion of the majority Farm Forum members in Ontario who discussed the first in a ser. les of farm business topics on Monday, January 2. The reasons for staying varied. Even though most members wanted to remain on the farm, they doubted wheth- er that would be possible if pres- ent farm products "price squeeze” continued. Teston Farm In order to make way for the CNR Marshalling Yard, Norman Bagg has purchased the 140-acre Lorne Gooderham farm in Tes- ton, and in April will be moving his prize-wnnng herd of Edge- lea Jerseys to the property which is situated between High- way 400 and Jane Street. Wlliam Hawkesworth, who has been in Mr. Bagg's employ for many years wlll occupy the farm house on the property. Norman and his family are planning to remaln in their residence at Thornhill for the present time. Maritime Youth Arrested In Theft The reporter whose Christmas- week story about Earl McKay, 21, the unemployed Maritime youth who was picked up at Stouffville on December 20 and charged with vagrancy and theft. lost some of her faith in human nature on Monday when word was received that McKay had ben arrested by Metro Police on January 6 - again for theft. __ McKay’s case, which was well publicized, brought a flood of mail which included money, gifts and offers of work. directed to the House of Concord where Magistrate 0. S. Hollinrake of Newmarket Court had sent the youth after remandlng him to January 9. Court wanted him to enjoy the Yuletide. _ NEWMARKET â€" As in the Vaughan township elections so it was in East Gwillimbury Town- ship this year where only one of the 1960 council was re‘urned to office. Incumbent councillor Ken Rogers defeated Deputy-reeve Sheldon Walker. Monday morning the court cus- todian called McKay's name three times in vain. When the final plaintive call -died down, the magistrate was informed a- bout McKay's latest breach of conduct. The magistrate ordered that a bench warrant be issued. McKay had been given a pass to absent himself from the House of Concord the day he fell from grace On December 20 McKay was arrested for sleeping in a Stouff- ville coin laundry. He had stolen a pair of gloves to help keep his hands warm, he said. NEWMARKET â€" Newmarket and Sutton District High School Board has been dissolved.

George Bailey School Come Tuesday, January 3, 1961 and the George Bailey Public School staff and pupils were back to routine once more. The few days before the Christmas Holidays had been partly Spent in decorating the rooms and trees and preparing for their class par- ties. Mrs. Ure, the kindergarten teacher, has an active interest in music and had started a choir formed from the senior grades and instructed them in carol singing so that on a bright clear night about 35 students wander- ed about the streets of “our town" singing carols accompanied by Mrs. Ure and two other grade tealchers, Miss Kirby and Mrs. Co e. Surely the spirit and joyous- ness of the season was brought closer to all those who heard and enjoyed the clear young voices singing their favorite ‘carols. The choir returned to the school where Ilsa Thompson and Joyce Boyd, on behalf of the Home and School, served re- freshments. Our thanks to all concerned. The George Bailey Home and School had previously held a most successful evening in the form of “Games Night." This was their Christmas party and to help along the fun and en- joyment, the local merchants of Maple, had each donated a door prize. Euchre and scrabble were popular while “that certain bri- dgerclub': attended en masse, J “a- v-â€" The refreshments were a de- light and it was announced that from the proceeds realized, a set of Reference Books would be donated to the School Library from the G3. Home and School Association. ‘AUUVv-v‘v-vâ€"g The Grade tiers, who _\have been at the Community Hall while the old school building is being renovated, are some- what pacified lately by having the use of the new skating rink beside them.

Mid Holiday Wedding Having thoroughly enjoyed having her new wee grandson at her home over Christmas, Mrs. Annie Lawrie took off the fol- lowing Tuesday, December 27 for Barrie to attend the wedding of Malcolm Ross of Barrie and Rilla Kellam of Woodstock. Later in the week she entertained Mrs. M. Scott of Toronto and. Mrs. J. W. Ross and Janet of Barrie for lunch. _ Family Get Toâ€"gether _ nu...- v.-- _- Ov-e'r the NevTIVYéal-‘s holiday Charles and Jean Miller enjoy- ed the day 7wth sev_eral members Has that time ever come in your family life when your child asks who so and sols and you find‘ yourself stating - “That's your cousin. dear." Well if so, as in our house, things had reached that sorry state so having spent Monday following Christmas with the re- latives in Stouffvllle that the junior Shores did really know - Mom took off New Year’s day and paraded said sons before their six Toronto cousins. The following day it was on to St. Catharines and two more cous- ins, an aunt and uncle.

No mat- ter what season it is in, the old Niagara Falls never fails to be awe inspiring and that day it evidently was just that: Now once again the Shores j.g. are caught up with their re- latives. And Some Sadness While others were busily pre- paring in a gay mood for the festivities, over at Pine Hill Farm it was a little difficult to shake the sadness that hung over the stables. “Switchboard.” that lit- tle two year old harness racer had developed lock jaw and desâ€" pite all the medical know how and care, she 'hadn’t responded to the treatment. Not only was she a favorite with owners Hugh and Ruth McConkey because in her very first race, trained and driven by that old master Alec Forrest, she had entered the Stake Race at Lindsay Fair and had come in third over horses older and with more experience, - or be- cause in her second race, and only a two year old, she had won both heats at the Markham Fair and had many experienced racing men predict great things in the future for her. But Switchboard had a tie in with the developâ€" ment and history of Maple._ It all happened when Hugh and Ruth with their five youngsters moved to Maple. Being new in town and not knowing anyone. they used to rely on the gals on the old local switchboard. (For you new residents, may we men- tion that just two years ago last November “the Bell” opened their new building and Maple was switched over to the new mech- anical dial system we now use. from the ‘hand' operated local switchboard). When a tiny foal was born at Pine Hill, the Me- Conkeys, ever grateful for in- formation and assistance given by the Maple phone operators. named her “Switchboard.” - and so sadly ends a little ‘eraf‘ .‘A u V . a _ _ , -v,” Not as a replacement, but to build up their stables, a horse from Prince Edward Island has joined Pine Hill Farm.

When Spring dees come we’ll be watching as they're “off and running" with a little sigh for what might have been if Switchboard were only out there in harness. That Lucky Draw at Adcqck's A Christmas Eve. many hopeful gathered around in Adcock’s Var- iety Store as Councillor-elect Mr. Wilfred Keffer made the draw for the lucky person whq yvoqld ‘\;n the sparkling new bicycle. When Mr. Keffer drew out the name of Mr. Duke Jarrett, 38 Richmond Street, as the big win- ner someone mentioned the fact that no doubt a certain little grandson would, before too long, be the ‘really big' winner“ Con- gratulatlons. Specials _r ______ We’re harkening back to Christmas again but -- cf all the many cards we received from friends, two local ones really stood out. As last year from Dr. and Mrs. Ramsay Armitage. Christmas Greetings came in a card with a wonderful hand sketch (etching) of St. Stephen’s Anglican Church, this year their son ‘had sketched the Rectory as seen from Mrs Armitage's won- derful garden - complete with weather vane. The other card of special note was received by Stephen from “Fraser & family!" The "family" in this case meant the Cringan's and the greeting card was stick- ings of many bright colors and shapes on the front. The verse was really something and ‘away out’ and sounded somewhat like ‘Father Bob’s inspiration. It THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, rOntario, Thursday, January 12, 1961 1? Safety Deposit Box from Maple Notes IMPERIAL QBANKWWM Mr. Constable was reâ€"elected Chairman, Mrs. Mona Rob- ertson Vice-chairman of the Board. Mrs. Dorothy Robert- son was appointed Chairman of Finance; Mr. Kaiser, Man- agement Chairman, and George Chandler is the new Chair- man of Property. â€"â€" photo by Lagerquist seems they were in a quandry â€" whether to buy them or make them. Son John suggested a de- sign with hot rods (his passion of the moment) while hep Fraser wanted it to be “Cool Man, from Maplesville, or like maybe - gay!" Finally having accepted the fact that Christmas cards are a problem -- particularly at this time of year! - the answer seemed to be “College” because “its so timeâ€"consuming, painting and tearing and cutting and glue- lng" etc. and then the ending with the old time seasonal greet- ing. This is one of those cards ‘you find you put away and bring [out the next year. Another card arrived with its envelope a charcoal gray - ex- planation - it had gone through the cancelling machine and the address was just barely visible but the mail went through thanks to our Postmaster Eric Brice, regular Mrs. Ella Harris, Mrs. Win Harding. and Mrs. Lu Leece, and Christmas Ihelpers Sally Grout, Helen Baker, Lillian M11- ler, and Ailean Birch. _ Guess that should about wind up Christmas for this year. Can Produce Witnesses In case you find it difficult to imagine your correspondent be- ing speechless at any time, I can produce the date and time plus two witnesses, our son Peter and friend, Joe Mendelson. The date was the last day of 1960 and yours truly had just finished worming into Joe’s good graces by making him some fudge, when the B. W. Miller Florist delivered a most enormous box of flowers and addressed to me!! Upon op- ening said box, there was the most beautiful array of long stemmed flowers and a card thanking me for assistance in 1960 and signed, Normaple Com- munity Club â€"- and there was I, - speechless as I said, I have witnesses! You see it only goes to show you what a swell bunch they are - so stand well back, I'll be expecting everyone to support their latest project com- ing up in February and through- out 1961. Many thanks - you shouldn't have you know.

Many Thanks to Curtain Club There were many starry eyed youngsters from Maple through- out the audience on the nights when Sleeping Beauty was stag- ed as a Christmas Pantomime in Richmond Hill by the Curtain Club members. To add to local enjoyment was the thrill of recognizing our hometowners Jan Myers as Fairy Beverley Acres and did we say recognize? Bob Urquhart as “Lit- tle.” Indeed the time and ener- gy spent to bring pleasure for the young and the not so young during perhaps the busiest and most hectic time of the year must have seemed all worthwhile when the final curtain came down and the laughter could still be heard and the happiness still seen shin- ing thru on the upturned faces as their audience reluctantly took their leave of what had been so close to “falry'land." AURORA â€"- According to high. way officials. the new ‘east-West' superhighway 404 will not like- ly pass near the outskirts of this town, and probably will loop north of Davis Drive, New- market, when it is built somen time six or seven years from now.
