'36 â€" Photo by Lagerquist Edgeley Socials Dairy Princess Many communities may boast about their attractions but right now Edgeley has one that no oth- er can claim - and that is the 1961 York County Dairy Princess. Edgeley is very proud of Miss Dianne Fierheller in winning this distinction at the 112th annual Fair sponsored by the Richmond Hill Agricultural Society. President, Francis Redelmei- er, of the York County Federa- tion of Agriculture introduced the contestants who were Miss Elizabeth Barker of Gormley, Miss Margaret Broadbelt of WHAT'S THE . ‘lNSTALMENT PLAN'WAY TO SAVE FOR A Mount Albert, who is a former Edgeley girl; Miss Ruth Moore of Nashville, Miss Janice Boake of Edgeley and of course, Dianne. The county contest is a preli- minary elimination from which the princesses will go on to pro- incial finals at the Canadian National Exhibition last this sum- mer. The rules of the contest are based on the method and manner in which the girls milk the cows, not on how much milk is obtain- ed from any individual cow. The audience was keenly interested in the milking operation and they lllllll PAYMENT? Many purchasers of automobiles, furniture and. such, pay on the instalment plan. You can put your savings on the same instalment basis. P5P, Scotiabank's Personal Security Program is the "instalment plan" way to save for a down pay- ment for any proiect needing forward planning and saving. This is how PSPâ€"exclusive with The Bank of Nova Scotiaâ€"works: You select a savings goal (between $100 and $2,500) which you teach in 50 equal payments. As you save, you're lite-insured for the full amount of your goal. When you reach your goal, you collect all you’ve saved, plus a cash bonus. PSP is the ideal way to make sure your long-range plans are realized. Ask about 1’5? at your nearest branch of Scotiabanlc WBHNK THE BFINK OF NOVFI SCOTIB .

Emphasis is placed on cleanli- ness, and this detail the girls ad- here to most rigidly. ~ The cows all do not give the same amount but it is the. method in obtaining it that counts. All facilities are available and. the girls wash them carefully. Vic Jensen, dairy branch fieldman for York County, one of the judges, checked to see if the cows were milked out. The results were announced by the judges and the winner was Miss Diane Fierheller of Edgeley. Dianne received congratula- tions from Mr. James Haggart, mayor of Richmond Hill and from her many friends. She will will be one of 45 princesses to compete for Ontario honors this fall, and is indeed a capable one to represent York County at the Canadian National Exhibition. Concord News Socials Here is the communicable dis- eases list for this week - measles, Jeffrey Ward, chicken pox “Dou- glas Godfrey, Margie Thompson and Cathy Keffer (I don’t know why we began at that end of the family - she doesn’t associate with anybody but us). Some of us were reminiscing last week a- bout the days when we went to school and. most communicable diseases required placards on the house. Remember how you practically sprinted past those “Whooping Cough” and "Measles" signs, or you crossed the street until you had passed the infected house9 A lot of good it did, when the kid who sat beside you at school showed up with a nice rosy rash or a cough that shook the school’s forndations. Bridal Shower A couple of weeks ago Mrs. Mrs. Oman Bowes was .iostess at a miscellaneous shower for her neice Carolyn Brillinger. Twenty eight aunts, cousins and other relatives gathered at Mrs. Bowes’ for the event. Carolyn was mar- ried on Friday, May 26 at Wood- bridge United Church to Mr. Ray SLOW of Weston. The evening re- ception was held at the Wood- bridge Memorial Arena. The Bowes’ and their family, Mr. and Mrs. Herb McLean and Mr. and Mrs. Ken Poole, attended along with many other relatives and friends. Cub and Scout News Several members of the local Mothers’ Auxiliary were guests at a dinner and social evening sponsored by the Maple Mothers" Auxilary. The Concord group presented their skit on “How Not to Conduct a Meeting" which was so successful at their own social evening last year. From all re- ports, we may have a little thea- tre group organized in Concord yet, what with all that hidden talent around. No local babies this week? Not unless you could count two friends of mine in Richmond Hill. The contracting firm of Deciantis and Rice has two new sharehol- ders, a girl for Mr. and Mrs. Pat Deciantis and a boy for Mr. and Mrs. Jim Rice. Goodâ€"bye and hello again this week to Mrs. Alf Bagg who is moving down Hillside Ave. from her present home to temporary quarters. where she can really keep an eye on the construction of her new home also on Hill- side Ave. I hate to milk dry the subject of twins but two people owe Mr. and Mrs. Buffett an apology, (me and the person who gave me the information) Their year-old girls happen to be a seven-month old boy and girl. Glad to be able to report that Mr. Roy Smith is coming along very well after suffering a heart attack at Easter. Last week after picking up my kindergarten charges and ,‘The Liberal," I overheard the follow- ing conversation. “Hey. Rick. look That‘s the paper we had in school!” “Yeah? And we heard all about Sandra's brothers IDicernan'." “Yeah? and Randy Johnston beâ€" ing in the hospital and every- thing." Et cetera. etc The Thornhill kindergarten must surolv be run- ning short of story book! Maple, Concord & geoyisiot “The Liberal” is always willing to publish interesting items regarding people and events contrbuted by its readers in Maple, Concord 5.; Edgeley districts. Our rep- resentative in Maple is Mrs. Len Shore. ALpine 7-1150; in Edgeley and Sherwood, Mrs. Raymond Stuart AV. 5-1934; and in Concord, Mrs. Ruth Keffer, AV. 5-2375. Maple Notes Residents in and around Maple are fluffing their feathers these days - one of our own has been chosen “1961 Dairy Princess of York County.” Congratulations to Diane Fier- heller who won the title at the iety's Fair Day. Sympathies to Co-correspondent. We were sorry to learn of the fire which severly damaged the home of the ‘Liberal' Oak Ridges- Lake Wilcox news' representative. We send every good wish for the future to Mrs. Eleanor Charuk and family. Maple Juniors in News In the ‘Super 80 Club' of the Richmond Hill High School, Ma- ple has several representatives. This is an achievement we are indeed both delighted and proud to write about. Students receiving this insignia award have 80 per cent or higher for their term ex- ams. From Maple, for the second term, to Albert Bishop, grade 9; Jeff Radley and Jim Manning of Grade 11 and Barry Bocckncr grade 13, go heartiest congratula- tions. In the barrier events a Maple representative, Bob Manning, won the senior mile and three quar- ter race in 8 minutes thereby breaking the previous record held by another Mapleite, Ron Brice. In the junior event of the mile and three quarter race, Lawrie Brice of Maple turned the tables on Bob Manning when he broke Bob’s former record by doing the distance in 8 minutes and 50 seconds. Bob Manning showed up again in the James Barton Relay where his team took second spot. Ron and Lawrie Brice are the sons of Mr. and Mrs. Eric Brice of Maple. Eric is our postmaster and an active worker in the Lions’ Club and Scouting. Maple's News We, in our comparatively small town of Maple, seem to be for- tunate in having some interest- ing, active and public spirited neighbours. From time to time their story appears in the ‘Lib- eral’ and does much to rekindle Maple Water Debt To Be Debentured Township ecides Vaughan Township Council has taken steps to clear up a Water- works Department floating debt ln the amount of $36,000 cov- ering the waterworks system in the Maple Water Area. A by-law was passed authorizing deben- of $36,000 at six per cent per annum. Total cost of the system came to $120,000, or $36,000 more than the original estimates. The Ontario Municipal Board had commented on the by law authorizing the completion of the system and recommended that the approval of the OMB be re- quested under section 53 (1) (c) of the Ontario Municipal Board Act instead of under Section 379 (1) 52 of the Municipal Act. Coun cil complied with the recommen- dation that the previous by-law numbered 2550 be rescinded and a new by-law be enacted in place of that by-law. Contracts Awarded Council awarded three roads contracts, K. J. Beamish Con- struction Co. Ltd. was given an asphalt primer contract for town- ship roads during 1961 at a price of 25.4 cents per gallon, subject to the approval of the Depart- ment of Highways. A second con- tract went to Miller Paving Lim- ited and Vaughan Minerals for the necessary brine solution of calcium chloride for dust laying at the price of 12.9 cents per gal- lon and 10 cents per gallon re- spectively. The last contract was awarded to Lyle McBeth for the crushing of 52,000 tons of gravel in the Jacobs pit at a price of 38 cents per ton. Vaughan And King Census-takers In Training Session The Maple Community Centre was a bee-hive of activity from Tuesday to Saturday last week when 17 rural and 12 urban cen- sus enumerators received exhaus- tive instructions relative to their census-taking duties in Vaughan and King Townships. They be- gin today and will continue for the next two weeks. Armed with 1 large portfolio containing var- ious forms and a 140-page man- ual, they will gather complete in- formation about practically every living and moving and inanimate object in the two townships. Census officials point out that the manual is designed to an- swer any question which might arise, adding that in a case where the manual doesn’t have the an- swer, the question is unimport- ;turn briefed the enumerators as ‘to what questions should be ask- Ibe asked, how not to needlessly lrepeat inquiries and how not to offend the householder. All in- :formation gathered is strictly confidential and will be divulged ionly to the government. Officials point out the census taking is not a political thing. Preparations for the present pro- ‘ject, they say, automatically be- gan in 1951 when the last Dom- ‘inionâ€"wide census was completed. Census-taking is merely a means lof taking stock of the nation‘s ec- onomic, financial, social, cultural and education situation to the point all levels of government can . look ahead and lay down plans and policies for the continuing (good of all.

Probably just getting used to babies around the house again! 45th Annual Meeting The 45th annual meeting of Section 3 of the West Toronto Presbyterial of the Women’s Missionary Society of the Pres. byterian Church in Canada, was held in St. Andrew's Church, Maple, May 19, 1961.

The outward appearance had been modernized so as to com- plement the low one-floor eight- classroom building built behind it. The old bell and tower have been rem0ved and the roof low- ered. A new brick front has been added. The classrooms are bright, airy and pleasant in their pastel shades. The Grade 4 room was ready to greet the visitors as the pupils and their teacher, Mrs. Duncan, had fashioned all manner of co~ lored, shaped and designed fish attached by string to the ceiling. A display of hand made Mother's Day greeting cards was of special interest to the mothers. Mr. Mullis and his grade 5ers, had spent several months attend- ing class at the Community Hall while the old school house was being fixed over. At first they were put in the pink room but then moved over to the green room and by all appearances they looked as though they had finally settled down. Displayed in grade 5 were several India ink sketch- iugs that were most interesting. Lined along the border of the room were numerous fantastic "Antmules" made from papier mache and in many and varied shapes and colors. Some were fur-bearing and some wore or- iginal designed pieces of cloth- ing - all very eye catching in- deed. This class had also done some asbestos moulding - bon bon dishes, ash trays etc. In walking over to the other section of George Bailey we not- ed the tremendous turnout of mothers and fathers and interest- ed friends. It must have been gratifying to the teaching staff to see such interest. We’ll start at the kindergarden look see into the class rooms. Mrs. Ure is the teacher here and she has different morning and afternoon kindergarten class- ses - the first in Maple's school. The youngsters had posters fea- turing their many helpers - such as a visit to the dentist, "doctor is our friend" and “the police- man helps too." A display of toys, puzzles and games, books, their “treasures,” rhythm band and a ‘iorest' showed how ver- satile their school period could be. Grade 1 is divided into two rooms with teachers Mrs. Tilt and Mrs. Cole. The youngsters in Mrs. Tilt’s room had used a spring theme - flowers, butter- flies and spring bonnets, all drawn and coloured on paper as designed by the class and spotted about the room. Mrs. Cole‘s grade 1 class show- ed posters depicting “a child’s interests." These were, the enjoy- ment of animals, riding on trains, seeing the community, being part of a family, showing how school can be fun and inviting friends to play with them at their home. Games, equipment and books were placed about the room. Self portraits (see grade 2) were set in sitting position at their desks. Here again, in Grade 2, the self portraits of these pupils were really fascinating and 'orth noting. The teacher, Mrs. Lawson, had outlined the full sized form of the boys and girls on paper and they in turn had coloured them in their favorite dress or jean outfit. One had told his mother she would be sure to find him - he had on his blue jeans and orange shirt - and sure ‘nuff he did. Decoration was a collection of fancy birds and wind mills. A welcome verse printed by each child and pinned to the wall, greeted visitors to Miss Jackson’s grade 3 room. “Open House is so much fun So we hope you all have come To see our work, how we do it And so we’welcome you all to it.’ ' Also scrap-books and other poems were on display. Grades 4 & 5 have been cav- ered earlier. Mr. Crooks’ grade 6 students proudly had their magazine on display - and for sale. This is quite a complete “mag”, filled with stories, puzzles, sports, girl's page. items of local interest and more. The class is to be con- gratulated. Perhaps the most striking dis- play was in Mr. Hazel's grade 7 room. Art work done by one of the students. Margus Lee, was outstanding. The colors were bril- liant and pleasantly blended to give a near - professional appear- ance of the art work. “Impres- sions in Art,” done by the stud- ents and mosaic masks, were on display. A large section of a ‘group enterprise in history' was as yet not completed but would prove well worthwhile checking upon completion. The teaching of grade 8 is shar- ed by the principal, Mr. Outram, and Mrs. Grams. Time was too short to read all the compositions tacked up but a brief glance through proved most interesting, in some cases amusing and others enlightening. The idea of painting on glass was new to some as we over- heard a few mention that they were so interested they would try it at home. Several charcoal sketches bordered the room, while the display of leaves was effective. Following this tour of the school and meeting the teachers. the G. B. Home and School As- sociation held its final meetin. for this term. The newly elected executive with the president, Betty Fraser in the chair, took charge of the eeting. Special guest speaker was Mr. W.K. Ellis, vice principal and V0- cational Guidance Councillor of Richmond Hill High School. His topic was “After Grade 8 - What Then?" With the final school term nearing its close, the stu- dents of grades 7 and 8 were interested and concerned with what Mr. Ellis had to say regard- ing the choice of subjects to be taken in the first year of high school. A synopsis of the general his- tory of R.H.H.S. and the subjects available as well as the extra clubs, projects and sports were outlined by Mr. Ellis. Several stu dents were present and listened avidly. " IIBERAL " CLASSIFIEDS _ GET RESULTS Phone TU. 4 - "05 * 22::
