“Be it therefore known by all those present (and others who are not) that the council of the Town of Richmond Hill challenges the council of the Township of Vau- ghan to a broomball game". etc. As this was signed with the ofiicial stamp, Councillor Ruth McConkey thought that the least “thas the municipal coun- cll of the corporation of the Town of Richmond Hill fully realizes that there may be some truth to the rumor now prevailing .that through the years the council of the Township of Vaughan has let its physical condition become such that they are no more a match for the council of the Town of Richmond Hill, Perhaps one of the biggest highlights of the afternoon came when the boys and girls present- ed Mr. Jim Hodgeson with a love- ly set of drinking glasses. To these youngsters Jim has been their coach, their leader, their main- stay and all around grandAguy. By Toby Shore Recently the council of the Township of Vaughan received an official communique that read in part - It would be impossible to phrase the right words to say just how much these young bowlers - and their parents - appreciate the many. many Saturday mornings Jim Hodgeson has given over to them to supervise and guide their league. Each year this has been a one man task Jim has taken on and over 80 boys and girls wanted to say “Thanks.” The Maple Lions Club spon- sor the Maple Junior Bowling League and here are the list of top teams and top bowlers - Trophy Bantam Team Winners Bruce Palmer. Raymond Pin- eau. Steve McDermott, Wilma Bartlett, Lorna Sinclair. Sanitary Contractor Drains Cleaned & Repaired By Toby Shore Saturday, March 25 was the big day for all Junior Bowling Lea- gue players. Not only was there a banquet given in their honor but they were presented with the trophies for the winning teams and individual top scorers with each league member being pres: ented with a crest.

In fact her cohorts appeared in “formal” wear too. Councillor McConkey wore a long black velvet ‘opera‘ coat with fur trimmed hood. Upon entering the ringed ice surface. she com- menced to shed said cloak, fancy frilled gown and finally got down to the business at hand in leo- tards and turtle-neck sweater. Councillor Maurice Windatt was fittineg attired in a habitant or lumberjack outfit; Clerk Jim Mc- Donald was the belle of the ball (broom ball that is), while deputy- clerk Ted Jackman was 'real 'gone’ in wide striped pyjamas and tassled night cap. Councillor Wilfred Keffer staunchly braved fire in the goalie’s position while accountant Bob Saunders fought to uphold the promoting of good sportsmanship, while whacking a .basket ball across slippery ice by means of a sawed off broom, Trophy Junior Team Winners Bill Mathewson, Clair Murray, Nancy Kerrigan, Elizabeth Wal- ker, Kathy Crook. Trophy Winners Bill Mathewson - Boys Hi Av- erage, Hanne Fynbo - Girls Hi Average, Barry Ingram - Hi Dou- ble without handicap, Carol Sai- geon - Hi Double with handicap. Maureen Johnson - Hi Single without handicap. Darrel Kruger - Hi Single with handicap. Besides these trophy winners Jim had a few players in the Bantams he thought deserving of special mention; Ron Harrison, only Bantam to bowl over 200 without handicap - he made it 203; the ‘smallest bowler“ was Nancy Fraser but she sure made the ‘greatest effort'; the most games played by Joan Earnshaw and Ken Rumble got “A” for effort. In the Juniors Nadine Watson was a one girl team and carried her team all year. Lion President Jim James was a guest of honor and assisted Jim Hodgeson in handing out the honors. The ladies of the George Bailey Home & School catered with help from the many mothers of the bowlers. Congratulations to each and every participant. By now. regardless of the 4 to 1 score in their favor, the coun- cil of the Town of Richmond Hill must surely know how the afore- mentioned ‘rumor' got started. In self defence it must be stated the Vaughan representatives were left holding their sportsmanship without the promised extra play- ers. so had to play throughout each period and boy that's rough when it comes to broomball., Proceeds from this game went into the Retarded Children's Fund. vague Under our plan it will be only: ESTAB. 1950 hnguaf aging The Bagg Herd has always been noted for its outstanding perfor- mance, oneof the greatest being in 1936 when Norm and Don’s fa- ther sold a cow to a Kansas bree- der for the sum of $2,000, which was big money in those days. This cow, which was named "Edgelea Dreaming Countess,” was never defeated in all the _American shows. She was Grand Champion at the Canadian National Exhibiâ€" tion and the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in 1935 and won the Grand Champion award at seven major American shows and was the first Canadian bred cow to become Grand Champion at the All Ameriéan Show. Bulls from the Bagg Herd have found their way into herds in all of Canada’s provinces and many American States as well as Cuba and Australia. The farm, which is now C.N.R. property, has been occupied by the Bagg Family since 1912 and during the years some important developments have taken place in the Jersey breed, many of them notably made by the late Alfred Bagg, whose herd has grown from 10 cows in 1912 to 150 head now owned by his sons Norman and Don, who are extremely proud of the fact that theirs is the oldest accredited herd in Canada. During the past 19 years, Wil- liam Hawkesworth' has been a loyal member of the Bagg Farm Staff and this week Mr. Hawkes- worth and his family are also moving to the_new Bagg head- quarters in Teston where they will continue to work with this fine herd. Better Feeding Over the years, Norman has seen many changes, one of the greatest being that a lot more stress is now placed on produc- tion than 40 years ago with 1m- proved feeding techniques and technical farm management play- ing so much more important part now than formerly. Cattle from the Bag; Herd have formed a large part of the entries in the Jersey Shows at the Canadian National Exhibition snce 1912 and have been entered in shows at the Royal Agricultur- al Winter Fair since its beginning in 1923. The Bagg Family are now the only Jersey breeders who are members of the “Old Guard". They have been consistent win- ners of the Premier Breeder and Premier Exhibitor Banners, hav- ing acquired over 30 of these awards since it was established in the 1940‘s. In 1960. the Bagg brothers won both banners. Each year Norm and Don par- ticipate in the Sale of Stars with their cattle at the Royal Agricul- tural Winter Fair. At the present time they have consigned some cattle to American sales which will be held in Ohio and Texas in May and June. 1960 All-Canadian Winners Another recent triumph for the Bagg Herd was their winning the 1960 All-Canadian Pictorial Con- test which was sponsored by the Canadian Jersey Cattle Club. A Canada-wide contest, their ach- ievement is believed to constitute a record for a single breeder to be voted so many points. Beside the All-Canadian cow “Edgelea The late Alfred Bagg once vis- ited the Isle of Jelfiey and on several occasions purchased bulls and a few female cattle that came from the island. Father Charter Member The Bagg Brothers are mem- bers of the local and the 60 year old Canadian Jersey Cattle Club of which their father was a char- ter member. Their herd classifica- tion is one of the highest in Can- ada - with butter fat production averages of 500 lbs. fat for which they received the Canadian Jer- sey Cattle Club’s Constructive Breeders’ Award in recognition of that prodfiiction. Long Time xhibitors Last year at the International Dairy Show in Chicago, a bull from the Bagg herd was declared the Reserve Junior Champion. . By Mrs. Raymond Stuart One of the biggest and finest Jersey herds in Canada left Edgeley on Tuesday of this week for a new location in Teston. Their removal to the farm formerly owned by Lorne Gooderham was brought about in order to make way for the new marshalling yard and the re-routing of a piece of No. 7 Highway west from Keele Street in order to eliminate the curve in the highway at this point.

In order to meet and survive this sudden challenge (some call it a fad), the dairies began supplying the consumer with 2% All-Jersey milk, using the surplus fat for other purposes. The public lik- ed and immediately accepted this new type of milk because it is higher in food solids instead of fat while at the same time it looks creamy and tastes like rich whole milk. And then too, the product sells for a couple of cents a quart less than whole milk. The con~ sumer, being quick to recognize a quality product when he sees one, has caused such a tremend- ous increase in the demand for 2% All-Jersey milk recently. that the prospect for the future welfare of the Jersey industry in Canada looks very bright indeed. Guess the Easter Bunny had to mush through his chores on snow shoes this year while Spring took a holiday. Speaking of - holidays â€"â€" how about treating the family to a night of fun at the Boy Scout Gang Show? This has to be seen â€"â€" it’s almost beyond description as the Scouts play all the parts, both male and female â€" and have been in rehearsal for about 14 weeks. The costumes and the singing are show stoppers. The Gang Show is on at the Thorn- hill High School at 8 pm. tonight, April 6 and Friday and Saturday. Contact Lowell House or yours truly, Toby Shore, for tickets, you‘ll be glad you did. Maple United Church Dreamer Mary“, the Bagg bro- thers also have the Reserve All- Canadian cow, “Edgelea Dreamer Princess". The others are the All- Canadian Junior Female, “Edge- lea Acme Bessie", the All-Cana- dian Junior Male, “Edgelea Acme Triumph,” Reserve All-Canadian Junior Male, “Edgelea Acme Sup- erior” and the Reserve All-Cana- dian Senior Male, “‘Brampton Posing Acme.” This last named animal sired'the three other ani- mals with the name "Acme". 2% All Jersey Milk Some most interestng coloured slides were shown by Mrs. J. Snider of Vellore. Recently Mrs. Snider's daughter Lois, visited friends who are medical mission- aries and took these slides show- ing the life among the people in various parts of India and Africa. The March meeting of Maple United Church W.A. was held March 28 in the Religious Edu- cation Roorn. Mrs. N. Payne pre- sided. The meeting was in charge of Mrs. Tilley’s group with Mrs. R. Clegg as pianist. For the wor- ship period. Mrs. N. Woods used the theme "Making Friends With Life.” Refreshments were served at the close of the meeting. They Were A Hep Group -â€" Chamber Music-wise Anyone coming into contact with Ray and Ils_e Thompson soon learn of their interest and de- light in chamber music. It was through music participation that they first met. Their living room is a combined living and music room with two pianos and Ilse’s cello. Plans were made to hold a Rummage Sale and Bake Sale on Saturday, April 29. On a Saturday night similarly interested friends drop in fre- quently to contribute their share of musical enjoyment. So it was on March 25, Ray and Ilse were all set up for some occasional chamber music. With Harry Standing playing the flute George Cox the viola, Ilse the cel- lo. Dorothy Cox and Ray at the pianos they were joined by viol- inists Larry Stevenson and Char- lie Birkett (Maples affable MD.) for their initial performance. To the two non performers making up the audience, including Char- lie's wife Edythe, here is a well tuned tip â€" if you cannot beat them, you had better join them! A standing invitation from the Thompsons is that any local res- idents who are interested in chamber music would be more than welcome to contact Ray and Ilse and drop around of 21 Sat- urday evening and join in with the ensemble. Before Larry and her family moved to Maple. she played the violin with the Kitchener-Water- loo Orchestra and Ilse has at- tended full symphony evening school classes at Earl Haig for several years.

As We’ve Said Before Last week we were in desper- ate need of helpers to work in the make-up department of the Gang Show and had difficulty in rounding up a crew. 0n sudden inspiration we gave Joyce Terrell of Normaple Subdivision :1 call and within a couple of hours she phoned back with the names of 11 gals who were willing to work both Wednesday at the rehearsal and then Thursday night of the show. Now how about that? None of these girls are connected with scouting but are, as I’ve said so very often â€" just a few of. the “good group” that live in Nor- maple Subdivision and always anxious to help out community- Wise. Spring Training By the time the following verse appears in ‘The Liberal.’ history will have recorded whether Deb- bie McConkey’s faith in the To- ronto Maple Leafs was misplaced or misfounded or both.
