Buying A New- or Used Car? C. J. NEIL O’REILLY _ Perhaps the highlight for ev» eryone was the Mock Wedding Ceremony in which the “Parson” (Mrs. Lora Wiltshlre) asked the “Groom” (Mm-g Crook) if he James William, Maple Motors Leatherdale would take this “tali splndly floWer-like woman” etc. and “Wilt thou love her, comfort her, honour and keep her in bowling fees at least three nights I week etc. Assisting in opening the ‘gifts were her two sisters Det and Betty. Along with the several gifts from her family, Madeline received kitchen ware, lamps; nest of tables, linens and many more useful as well as ornamental gifts. Then to the bride (Sylvia Gipps) - Wilt thou Madeline Ann Elvera Propane Brown etc. - wilt thou promise to wash and polish his stock cars and feed his chic- kens? etc. and on and on. Space doesn’t allow for more but in- deed the aforementioned partic- ipants along with Cathy Crook as the flower girl and Diane Ma- gee as the boy ring bearer were dressed outrageously and were most hilarious. Surely a night Madeline will long remember and cherish. On Tuesday night, January 31, 1961, bride-elect Madeline Brown was taken completely by surprise when her family, friends and neighbours gathered atgthe Com- munity Hall to honor her with a shower of “gifts. ‘ Dorothy Murchison, Marg Crook, June Wilson, Heather Mil- ler. Carol Espey, Yvonne Rice, Ina Sheppard and Dona Reid had organized the evening with Dor- othy and Marg gathering in all the “loot.” Seems like Madeline's sister Det Palmer - on hand for any chauffering, suggestions etc., was as excited as any bride her- self but of much assistance. The unsuspecting bride-toâ€"be arrived most fetchingly attired in slacks and sweater. In no time at all with the excitement, pres- entation of a lovely corsage and in due time the traditional ‘bri- dal shower hat. Madeline Was glowing - as all brides do. Refreshments were served and enjoyed by all. Miscellaneous Shower The relatives of the groom - Jim Leatherdale - held a miscel- laneous shower for Madeline Brown, Saturday, February 4, at the home of Mrs. Harold Myers, Whitby, Ontario. Assisting Lor- raine Myers was Mrs. Bev. Child, both cousins of Jim. Many lovely gifts were received and much appreciated. - 1st Maple “A” Pack In the month of January, the Cubs of “A” Pack had a skating party on the 18th, after which hot chocolate and do-nuts were seryed and enjoyed.

The fashion commentator, Mar- jorie Chadwick, is no stranger to this district as she has assist- ed in many shows in local shop- ping centres as well as the Scout Ladies’ Auxiliary Fashion Show here in Maple last February.

Reeds opened the meeting with prayer. Following the Scripture reading by Mrs. Amos, the Lord's Prayer was repeated in unison. Mrs. Phillips prepared an ex- cellent program outlining a num- ber of perhaps the less familiar aspects of the history of Edgeley which the meeting found very in- teresting. The roll call was in keeping help celebrate his 10th birthday with a party and they all had lots of fun - congratulations. St. Stephen’s W. A.

At Home If you read the letter in this week’s “Letters to the Editor" column from little Rhona Mickel- son and remember Mona Robert- son telling the story some weeks ago of how she was injured in an accident over three years ago, you will no doubt take time out to have your youngster or your- self write a cheery card to little Rhona. She so enjoys getting mail and her aunt. Mrs. Russell Noble who lives here in Maple will appreciate it too and is able to verify the joy her little six year old niece experiences upon receiving same. Take a minute and drop her a card at 162 Kim~ berly Drive, San Antonio 27, Texas.

Of the $100 million some $45 million will be spent on the yard, tracks and buildings. The yard will also mean an influx of new industry, probably several hundred plants eventually, and in turn these plants will have a spectacular ef- fect relative to residential and commercial real estate value. Al- ready one area far er is asking $150,000 for his 1031 acres. More schools will inevitably spring up. Social and cultural patterns will change. It is quite possible a de- cad-e from now a, person returning to Vaughan after a tenâ€"year ab- sence will be quite at a loss to recognize the area. That profound changes econ- omically, socially and‘ culturally will follow in the wake of the upcoming CNR Marshalling Yard in Vaughan Township is not gen- erally realized. While the mam- moth project will mean a new and needed source of assessment- income for the township, it will also mean about 2,000 permanent new employees, of whom hun- dreds will sooner or later estab- lish homes in Vaughan. The marshalling yard itself is, physically, comprised of 20 farms. It is roughly three-quarters of a mile wide and four miles long. and covers 1800 acres. It stret- ches from a line 1300 feet north of Steeles Avenue on the south to Sherwood Sideroad at the edge of Maple on the north. Its eastern boundary is Keele Street and its western boundary an im~ aginary line midway between Keele and Jane Streets. In the past year buildings and barns and she s from the original 20 farms hiv been moved off the land and some 30 cres of second- growth bush c eared away. Heart of the OMB plan is a $42 million ‘hump’ yard, an en- gineering marvel that will use ra- dar, television 8: electronic brains to sort out freight cars at a peak rate of 6,000 cars every 24 hours. A few years hence 12 miles of surfaced roads will run through- out the Yard’s borders for use of crews and light vehicular traf- fic. There will be 162 miles of track. 120 of which will be used for marshalling purposes. It’s never too latevto try your hand at anything, says budding playwright Mrs. George Foster of Nashville. She adds that, creative inspiration isn’t something that can always be controlled at will. and turned on like a tap at any given moment. She should know, because she had practically rais- ed the bigger part of a five~ daughter family before she wrote a one act comedy, “Oh, Mother” which has been entered in the Dominion Drama Festival. “I wrote the play in about. a day and a half,” she said wondering- ly, “but the idea for the play, andlthe plot, characters and dia- logue floated around in my mind quite a while before it was put down on paper."‘The prize-win- ning play is based on the idea of teenagers bringing up their par- ents. There is no doubt that the playwright drew heavily on her experiences as a mother. Her daughters range in age from 15 (Marlene) to six (Shirley). In be- tween are Joyce, 14, Carol, 13 and The annual Vestry Meeting of St. Stephen’s Anglican Church was held at Maple Community Hall on Monday, January 30, 1961. As last year, the meeting was preceded by a Congregational Supper at which there were one hundred and ten present. sixty of whom were adults. Mrs. G. Miller exressed the gratitude of the congregation for the kindness, generosity and hos- pitality shown by Dr. and Mrs. Armitage since their coming to Maple in September 1959, and Mrs. Armitage was presented with a bouquet of red carnations by Mrs. C. Reeds as a token of appreciation. During the business session of the evening the children were shown films by Mr. R. Rouse. Dr. Armitage opened the meet- ing with a prayer. The business session followed.

One will cross Highway 400 and Steeles Avenue, a second will run about 400 yards about mid- way between Jane and Keele to just below Keele Street and the third will overlook the corners of Keele Street just north of Steeles Avenue. it is understood that the CNR hopes to complete these projects by the end of the summer. Highway No. 7 just west of Keele Street will be moved back 100 feet to the north and a 500-foot long elevated bridge for motor traffic added. Evenua- lly 13 tracks leading into the Yard will run under this big overhead bridge. Marshalling yard tracks and buildings will cbver 900 acres.

Better known as the ‘singing Foster girls.’ the five- member harmonizing group is well know throughout Vaughan and beyond. The girls have per- formed at’ any number of church affairs, socials, teas, and have ap- peared/on television and radio. A few weeks ago Vaughan Township Council decided to hold up draft approvals covering four subdivision parcels on which were projected 3,500 homes. The town- ship pointed out that until such time as commercial and indus- trial assessment balanced assess- ment it would be the height of folly to allow much more resi- dential construction in Vaughan. Council was particularly mind- ful of the tremendous financial outlay more homes could repre- sent in terms of new schools alone. In the light of these facts it ‘might not be too far fetched to suggest that the‘CNR Marshal- ling Yard and subsequent related industrial and commercial growth will play a big part in deciding the township's future subdivision policy. Industrially it is likely that a series obplants will face Keele Street running from Steeles Av- enue to just south of the Maple outskirts and north and south along the western boundary. If you can picture .lmmensely long combs laid back to back along the eastern 8: western boundaries with the teeth of the combs fac- ing outward, and each tooth rep- resenting a plant you will have some idea of what is materializ- ing. Services for those industries will be the continuing concern of Vaughan with the costs. run- ning into the millions, charged back to the developers or the industries. Of primary importance in get- ting started in the playwrighting business is the question of get- ting b'orn, said Mrs. Foster. add- ing that in her case this event oc- cured near London, Ontario. The Foster family came to Nashville ten years ago and until she turn- ed out her comedy said her creativeness was given over to be- ing the busy wife of a farmer, a mother, and helping to program church affairs. Ineorder to reach the Dominion Festival, “Oh, Mother” was a prize-winner on the district and provincial levels. The results of the Dominion Festival will be made known sometime in June. in Vancouver. But win, lose or place, Mrs. Foster says the real fun was in'translating some of life's experiences into a play. t'ee - Mr. P. Young; Vestry Clerk - Mrs. J.

Vaughan B1vd., have had visitors recently, namely Mrs. Gilbert's mom and dad. Mr. and Mrs. A. Ostrom arrived on January 25 af- ter a three hour and five minute jet flight from Calgary. While here the Ostroms cele- brated their Golden Wedding on February 3rd. Attending the an- niversary dinner at the Gilberts were Mr. Gilbert's sister and bro- ther-in-law from Woodstock, Mr. and Mrs. Bill Stephens, Toronto and Mr. and Mrs. Bill Slater, Ca1- gary. A bouquet of fifty yellow roses was given to Mr. and Mrs. Ostrom by their grandchildren. They also received an anniversary clock. When they return to Game- land, Alberta, the ’istroms will be saying good-by to a half century of farming. Once they have set- tled in a new home their family intends to give them a kitchen suite as part of their golden anniversary gifts. On Sunday. February 5 the Gilberts and Os- troms went to Niagara Falls for, a: sort of »“'second honeymoon” trip. By the time this is printed they will have returned home. The visit was Mrs. Ostrom’s first trip east, and Mr. Ostrom was here once before, about ten years ago. My neighbour, Mrs. Harry Me- densky, recently told me that she and Harry had taken their young 501. Mark for his first plane ride. Nothing much you understand, just down to Ottawa for lunch 8; then back home. They visited the aircraft museum while in Ottawa. By the way, Harry is a TCA em- ployee so we expect to'hear of several of these little one-day jaunts inrfuture.
