With this corps Grethe will spend one year in Asia and her former neighbors wish her all the very best in her exciting but responsible ad- venture. Maybe I’m Out of Touch!! Is it because our boys have had the run of all children’s ai- flictions that I just never hear of any measles, mumps or chick- en-pox round and about? Does it still happen? A Little Child Last week when a canvasser for the Maple Branch of the Can- adian Cancer Society, May Fortin, was out making her calls in Nor- maple, she called on a family who have a little six year old girl. Inquisitive as all normal youngsters Elaine Boyd asked May what she was doing. In try- ing to explain in a simple manner to the child, May told Elaine that she was collecting money to help make sick people better and to try and keep others from becom- ing sick. Seemingly satisfied with the explanation she skips off only to return with the sum total in her bank, - a dollar bill she had re- ceived as a present and eleven pennies. This full amount and all she had was given most sincerely to May so “someone else could get better.” 7 Would you be willing to give accordingly and with just such a spirit? You will have just such an opportunity during April, cam- paign month for Canadian Cancer Society, when a canvasser calls on you. In building up funds for re- search and clinics, you are pay- ing on a kind of insurance policy for the future of you and you: family. Give with the faith and heart of the little child, Elaine Boyd who, though only 6, understood and wanted to help with all she could give. St. Stephen’s W. A.

A few local residents attended the biggest little hockey tourna- ment in the world at Goderich when Young Canada Week was held there from March 31 to April 8. The tournament was for boys aged 11 and 12, the pee- wee age group. The Woodbridge Minor Hockey League submitted their all-star pee-wee team and after a hot and heavy tournament, these boys came out on top, scor- ing a total of 33 goals with sev- en scored against them. Much credit should be given to Princi- pal McFadden, of Woodbridge Public School and the coach of the team, for his untiring work with the boys. The tournament attracted teams from all over On- tario, Michigan, Quebec and Manâ€" itoba represented as well. The kind people of Goderich billeted the boys from out of town in their homes and treated them just like part of the family. Although many boys from Con- cord played in the pee wee lea- gue this year there was only one on the all-star team. Even so, it’s a little disappointing when the other members of a league fail to support such a deserving group of boys. Woodbridge is our nearest rink and the cost of play- ing in a hockey league there is practically nil, other then mem- bership and a pint of gas for Dad's car for transportation. It would seem to be a foolish thought to make junior wait un- til he can get to and from the rink under his own steam. By then his best hockey years may be over, or he has learned slap- happy tactics and had no coach- ing at all. When you think of the half hour of TV‘you may have to give up to take junior to the rink, think also of the many hours offered by the coaches and other league officials. Then-may- be that half hour won’t seem too much of a sacrifice. Socials Pete Nuttall has returned to Michigan State University after being home for the Easter vaca- tion. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Dick Nuttall and brother Ed and his wife all went along to Ann Arbor, Mich. and returned home again immediately. Pete is atten- ding Michigan State on a four- year scholarship. As many know, he was an outstanding athlete at Thornhill High School, especially in track and field events, and this ability in sports helped pave the way for higher education. Keep- ing the scholarship doesn’t de- pend entirely on sports, howev- er, and Pete’s marks have to be up in academic subjects as well.

BUICK STOP 24 YONGE STREET, RICHMOND HILL The annual meeting of the George Bailey Home and School Association. Maple. was held re- cently. President, Mrs. Puffer in- troduced Miss Isobele Eadie from Woodbridge. As March was Red Cross Month, Miss Eadie spoke of the continual need for blood donors, and of the enormous need for an adequate stock-pile of blood. Residents of Maple and dis- tricts are urged, to attend the Blood Clinic being held in Wood- bridge Arena on May 18. Upon request. transportation will be supplied in the afternoon and ev- ening. Mrs. Lorraine Stevenson intro- duced Lieut. B. Meakings, who was appointed to the House of Concord in October 1960, assis- tant to the Superintendent. A westerner; Lieut. Meakings, is a son of officers of the Salva- tion Army. The House of Concord is a new venture in our district but one that merits support and ad- miration. Opened just over two years ago, the Salvation Army staff threw wide its doors to boys and young men from the Child- rens‘ Aid, probationers from courts, some on vagrancy charges and others homeless destitutes. There were forty-eight boys who needed a home, a chance to regain their respect for themsel- ves, the opportunity for a se- cond chance, to feel they were a part or member of something - but most of all they needed un- derstanding and discipline. George Bailey H 8: S Association Hears Story Of House Of Concord Mrs. Fraser Named President By trial and error the staff is struggling. to reach these boys who are emotionally disturbed rather than bad boys. In many cases they have been rejected by parents and society and are in need of therapeutic care. The Vellore Senior Women's Institute held its regular meeting on April 4th. The motto “Nature Never spoils her work by being in a hurry,” was given by Mrs. G. Dukes. Mrs. 'E. Carson read a timely poem entitled “Plant Lov- er” by EdnaiJaque’s. Mré. F. Conétable read “The Legend of the Dogwood," with a theme 113 keeping with Easter. Mrs. J. Bryson gave a history of Vellore Institute since it was formed in 1915. A history is be- ing written of each branch for a Tweedsmuir History for West York. Officers elected were: Presi- dent, Mrs. N. Kerr; lst Vice President, Mrs. H. Stephenson; 2nd Vice President, Mrs. G. Dooks; Secretary-Treasurer, Mrs. G. Burbidge; Asst. Secretary- Treasurer, Mrs. K. Tilley; Dis- trict Director, Mrs. F. Diceman; Alternate Director. Mrs. R. Phil- lips; Branch Directors, Mrs. B. Farr, Mrs. T. Seed, Miss Deborah Davidson. Vellore W.|. Chooses New Officers For Year Mrs. B. Farr spoke on the re- cent millinery course and detail- ed many of the different types of hats, explaining how each was made. Members of the course modelled their finished products. On display also were fabric flow- ers made up for trims by mem- bers of the class. . See your local Buick Dealer Throughout the various inci- dents related by Lieut. Meakings there was an underlying thread of humor. The House of Concord had 122 admissions from February 1960 11 February ’61 from all across Cagada and even a trickle from U. .A. Boys farm the land. grow their own crops and supply pork and beef off the farm. Recently 1000 chickens have been added and Garage men teach them the basic fundamentals of mechanics; all boys are interested in cars and as Lieut. Meakings quipped “that same interest is why some of them are on probation!" a 200, with animals sent from Toronto. A gymnasium has a two-fold purpose; here they may work off excess energies and the staff finds the gym to be a place to study the boy. His reactions when punching the bag, may prove most enlightening and re- veal much about his inner self. Success with aBout 60% of the boys has been realized. Mrs. Mildred Auld thanked Lieut. Meakings, saying our eyes had surely been opened to the need for the help and understand- ing given so surely by the speak- er and staff at the Salvation Army House of Concord. Members of the association cast their ballots for the '61 slate of officers. Elected were president, Betty Fraser; 1st vice president. Marg Crook; 2nd vice-president, Lorraine (Larry) Stevenson, sec- retary, Jean Salmon; treasurer, Joyce Boyd. Betty Fraser, as new président presented the first George Bailey Home and School Association past president’s pin to.Mrs. Puf- fer. The executive committee com- prises Norma Baker, Bev.
