Actually, last spring it seemed that a new baby and a Liberal column were competing for attention, and since there wasn’t anything we could do about baby Cathy, the “Liberal” just had to go! Now that business is booming again, let’s hear from everyone who has anything to report. Ratepayers On January 11 the Elmwood Acres Ratepayers Association held a meeting at Concord School. Twenty-five members plus the executive were present. The 1961 officers were elected as follows: president, Bob Haines; vice-pres, John Pepper; secre- tary, Dudley Knapman; treasur- er, Al Hewitt; member-at-large, Henry Nordin. The constitution was amended to allow only three meetings a year, to take place in January, that revolution. Our industri- al growth has given us one of the world’s highest; standards of living. Modern industries depend to a great extent on oil. Because companies like Imperial have made oil avail- able at reasonable prices wherever it is needed, Canadians use oil for more than half their energy requirements. These five represent four generations of the well known House Family in Maple. To the right is Great-grandfather Fred House, expert Silversmith, now retired, who resides with his son Lowell, 56, standing next to him. Next to Lowell is grandson Jack, 27, and next to Jack are his two sons, Ricky 7, and Jeffy 5. Great-grandfather House was born in Welland County on the Upper Niagara River coun- try, a descendant of United Empire Loyalists who came to Canada in 1788 from Pennsylvania where the House roots were even then three generations old. Lowell, popular plumber and tinsmith, is married to the former Mary Baker, born in England but raised in Canada. Jack’s wife is the former Beverley Oliver of Toronto. Great-grandfa- ther House cycled 750 miles from Canada to the United States 60 years ago over country roads and his energy has hardly decreased since. The Lowell House family settled in Maple 15 years ago. Prior to that they made their home in Toronto. CONCORD SOCIALS A most interesting meeting is planned for Monday evening, Feb- ruary 13. when Concord Home and School Association will have Ias guest speaker, Dr. Stewart MacGregor. D.D.S Head of the Department of Dentistry. Hospi- tal for Sick Children and Pro- fessor of Dentistry, University of Toronto. His topic will be “Your Child and Mine," illustrated with coloured slides. The public health nurse will also be present and refreshments served. Time is 8 pm. and everyoneis welcome. Highway 48. 2L~2Miles North of Markham Now is the time to check your Harrows and repair for spring. Tool Sharpening and Tampering A Specialty For satisfaction try Well, dear readers, the only news I ever get is from the kin- dergarten crowd. and I’m afraid, to those of you over the age of five it would make very dull reading-So next time your fam- ily celebrates someone's birth- day or anniversary (or even if your cistern goes dry) let us know as each little bit of news makes the column that much more interesting. BLACKSMITHING Well, I asked the “Head of the House" what social news he knew of, and all he could offer was that our cistern is dry and the sump is frozen. You can see that this house is a beehive of activity. We do know however, that a few people have added a year .to their ages. Mrs. Oman Bowes celebrated on Sunday, January 29, her thirty-ninth we think. And Carol Fawbert's little brother Roddy was one year old on January 30. "On the sick list this week are Ian McLean and Gillian Rudge, both down with chicken pox. These two little ones, plus Alan Gamble and Robbie Yotteff have recently begun attending the nursery school at Thornhill Pres- byterian Church. The Guide and Brownie Par- ents’ Group Committee met at the home of the president, Mrs. Roy Smith on Monday evening, January 30. The group was ask- ed to join with the Cub and Scout mothers in holding their rummage sale and they accepted. The mother and daughter ban- quet will be held some time in May and definite arrangements will be announced shortly. Socials These two groups are still go- ing strong in Concord with many of the girls working on profic- iency badges in the fields of homemaking, toymaking etc. The Guides held a skating party a couple of » weeks ago and the Brownies have one planned for February,11 at Thornhill. Several girls hope to try for their skaters badge. North York Veterans’, Hall, Yonge Street. The sale takes place on Saturday, April 8th, so when you're spring cleaning, ladies, remember that the auxiliary can probably use a lot of those old clothes and furniture. For their fund-raising effort this year the Cub and Scout mo- ther’s auxiliary has decided L0 hold a rummage sale in the May and October, with the pro-‘ vision that special meetings may be called if necessary. Five news letters issued during the year will keep members up to date on community matters. ,The C.N.R. has located its own water supply so it seems that our hopes for water are nil for the iext five years at least. Cubs and Scouts The Father and Son banquet will be held on March 8 at Maple Community Hall.

And whether or not children to- day have as much fun cutting out commercial valentines as design- ing their own, one thing is cer- tain, as we said before, senti- ment is still the prevailing spir- it â€" and may it ever be so. A few children save their school Valentines and what a treasure they can be in years to come! Your correspondent has a boxful of Valentines that came from school chums at Edgeley School many years ago, and they grow more precious in my heart as the years go by. And, of course, sentiment will be the prevailing spirit for Val- entine’s Day this year, just as it has always been. Do you remem- ber what Valentine’s Day was like when you went to school? And how you spent hours before the Big Day concocting pretty frilly ones or comical ones, de- pending on your mood of the moment and who the recipients were to be. The fourth round of student teachers are taking over the classes during the week of Feb- ruary 6 at Edgeley Public School. Altogether sixteen students have gained experience thus for this year under the supervision of Mrs. McDonald and Mrs. Wilson. Valentines Day On Saturday, January 28, the day before his birthday, Mrs. Avery prepared a sumptuous turkey dinner in honor of her husband, and among those who helped him enjoy it were Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Avery and child- ren Ken and Karen, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Avery and Mrs. Ross Cook and daughters Linda and Sharon. Due to the recent arrival of their baby daughter Lois, Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Avery were unable to attend the party, but were represented by their daughters, Miss Joan Avery and Miss Mar- ilyn Avery. And méy we add, belatedly, but none the less warmly, many happy returns of the day, Mr. Avery. It was anniversary time on January 24 for Mr. and Mrs. Robert Graham. On Januhry 28, Mr. and Mrs. Norman “Young celebrated their wedding anni- versary. Best wishes and congratâ€" ulations, folks. And while we are on the sub~ ject of birthdays, Mr. Arthur Avery celebra/ted, as he so hum- orously expressed it, “his coming of age party” at a family gather- ing at his home. Miss Elizabeth Barker, who is the- daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Barker of Gormley, has won high praise from her Edge- ley 4-H Homemaking Club lead- ers who are tremendously proud of her achievement and all that it represents. They are most en- thusiastic regarding miss Barker's leadership and teaching qualities as well as her excellent work. Socials Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bodker and their daughter, Karen‘ celebrated their birthdays recently. Mrs. Bodker's big day came on Janu- ary 30 and Mr. Bodker observed his birthday on February 6 and Karen on the following day cele- brated her birthday. February is also birthday time for Frank Locke with the 9th being his memorable day. Many happy returns of the day to you all. The girls regret, however, that they will be losing Elizabeth Ear- ker of Gormley who has been attending club meetings in Edge- ley during the past year. Eliza- beth, who has completed at least fourteen Homemaking Club pro- jects and proudly wears her Provincial Honors Pin, joined the Edgeley group last year when her own club in Buttonville 1suddenly found themselves with- out a leader. After completing further courses in the Edgeley Club, Miss Barker is planning, on her return to Buttonville. to teach the group there, where she will no doubt be a great help to the members, both by assist- ing them and by setting a good example in club work. The Club members are very pleased to welcome four new members who will be making this their first project. Joanne Cook, 'Sheila Hendry, Mary Dar- lington and Susan Bodker are looking forward to participating in the various club activities and the projects. Mrs. R. J. Darlington and Mrs. Fred Bodker are attending the 4~H Homemaking Club leaders’ training school in Buttonville Hall this week to prepare for teaching the next project which will_ be :‘Sleeping Garments." Edgeley people have every rea- son to be proud of their school teams. Besides winning the Inter- school league cup for the past two years. they are also the proud possessors of the Public School Association pennant. And the team are not going to rest on their laurels either, as, come Spring. they will be right up there to try to prove that old saying about whatever happens twice will happen again. Good luck, fellows. 4-H Homemaking Thc Edgeley Public School boys re-organized their baseball team last week and are making some big plans for the Spring Season. Ken Young who lives on No. 7 Highway was chosen the tcam captain. Other team mem- bers are John Row, catcher, Ray Priest, lst base; David Rowe. 2nd base; Stephen Walshun, short- stop.: Doug Wyatt. 3rd base; Dav- id Boake. right field; Gordon Drew, centre field; and John Lossing, left field.

Bert Steven- son; lst vice president, Pat Sal- mon; 2nd vice president, George Vigus, recording secretary, (Mrs. David) Sandy Sinclair; treasurer, Chuck Fraser. Surely the first committee that breaks ground and gets things rolling in any organization has a greater share of frustra- tion and headache and the orig- inal officers of Normaple Com- munity Club. namely John Jar- vis, Bruce Gibson, George Vig- us. and Bob Madarlane are due a large vote of thanks by one and all for their efforts in their be- half in a sometimes seemingly thankless job. As for the hoped for equipment for the junior park, John Jarvis stated that with $300.00 so far in the fund, several local mem- bers had already promised as- sistance; the poles, necessary support for the building of a bridge over the r-reek. have been donated; the use of bulldozers and graders has been promised; sand for the sand lots and boxes is forthcoming when required. There are 2000 trees on order to be planted round and about the park. lst Vice President Bruce Gib- son has been knocking himself cut convening “Cotton Magic.” In its entirety it is a tremendous task but Bruce and his staff seem to have the situation well in hand. Its your turn now â€" get out and sell those tickets! An evening was also sponsored by this Club at the Maple Com- munity Hall following Nomina- tion Night whereby all Maple and the residents of Vaughan Township were invited to “Meet the Candidates.” As yo will re- member this proved most in- teresting and instructive as all nominated candidates for the of- fices in Vaughan were introduc- ed, stated their own platform and were available for a question and answer period. Guess this was but the first time Maple made it on T.V.!! ' The meeting was chaired by ‘President John Jarvis. A re- view of the events sponsored by this club last year included the very successful “Millionaires Night" with proceeds going to- wards theyequipping of a play- ground park suitable for the junior residents of Maple. This gesture was much appreciated by the local community and it is with interest we follow the ex- citing release about "Cotton Ma- gic.” Saturday, February 18. On Tuesday. January 3lst in the down stairs room of the George Bailey Public School, the Normaple Community Club held their election of officers for 1961. Why is it people look at you with that t'sk tsk look when you casually mention the fact that you like this snappy cold wea- ther? Election Night N. C. C. Miss Helen Spencer is re- covering from an appendectomy this week-end. Helen underwent surgery last Wednesday and by the time this appears in print. we hope Helen will be up and feeling much better.

Mrs. Alf Bagg and her sister, Mrs. Jack Devins and Mrs. Chas. Agnew. Aware that rapid changes are taking place in our society these days, the public. and members of church bodies in particular, will be meeting in Teston United Church on February 12-13 and 14 where a worship will be held to discuss these trends.

Seriously we can report that she is somewhat for- tified again and doing nicely. “The Liberal" Associate Editor and Vice Chairman of Vaughan School Board, Mrs. Mona Robert- son, spent some time in the Grace Hospital, Bloor Street. We are glad to hear she’s back home but taking things easy for a time yet. ' On Monday evening, January 30, Helen Spencer stayed upla little late for a school night but she has had lots of opportunity to get caught up. Seems she made a quick trip to York County Hos- pital, Newmarket, that night and was relieved of her appendix.

Here is a little in- side dope.
