Miss Gilbert has had a re-ya trap line of her own. Now in glstered trap line for the lastIher thirties, she was born and five years at Savant Lake, some brought up at Verm-illion Bay, sixty miles east of Sioux Look- not far from Sioux Lookout out. Although many Indian where her father was a surveyor women assist their husbands on and trapper. Her trap line is her trap lines, Miss Gilbert is one main source of income,although of the very few women to have she augments it by cooking in Town Resident Hostess Lady Trapper Mrs. Phyllis King, Yonge St. South Mrs. Phyllis King of 68 Yonge Street South, Rich- mond Hill recently played hostess for the Department of Lands and Forests in entertaining Miss June Gilbert who is probably Ontario’s foremost lady trapper. Mrs. King has been with the Department of Lands and Forests for 14 years and is with the trap line manage- ment section. Miss Gilbert is seen with what she calls her “three kids”. In the background is her cabin. John Addison’s Liberal Campaign Band- wagon, touring the streets and shopping plazas in Richmond Hill, stimulated quite a bit of ex- citement for the forthcoming federal election and for the Liberal candidate himself. 3n WHEN THE MENTAL HEALTH CANVASSER CALLS, JUNE I & 2 G E ‘ FOR INFORMATION “MENTAL ILLNESS No LONGER HELPLESS” Esta bumc Yonge S' Addison Bandwagon Police departments of both Vaughan and Markham Town- ship reports last week end as Richmnnd Hm yery quiet with no thefts. break- 7 ms or arrests. The occasion of her visit to Toronto was the receiving of a plaque from the Minister of Lands and Forests, the Honour- able J. Wilfred Spooner. He had offered the plaque, for the first time this year, for the best prepared pelts sent to the On- tario Trappers’ Association for sale at North Bay. Miss Gilbert, with no knowledge of the plaque, had merely sent her furs in in the usual way. The depart- ment has been encouraging the stretching of beaver skins on hoops, more after the old Indian style. Miss Gilbert had followed the directions carefully and her furs were far above any others sent to the sale. Unable to at- tend the trappers’ association banquet in February to receive the plaque, the department ar- ranged for her to come to Tor- onto and she received it at a special reception in the Minis- ter's office early last month. Af- ter receiving the award, Miss Gilbert was taken into the legis- lature proper, introduced to the members and given an ovation. Enjoys Toronto lumber and tourist camps and also acts as a guide. In spite of her trespassing in what are us- ually strictly male preserves, Miss Gilbert â€"- who is very slight and scarcely five foot six ‘â€" is essentially feminine in ev- ery way. Visits Legislature During her three day stay in Toronto, Mrs. King kept her co- fmpany and showed her the city sights. She asked particu- larly to see the zoo and was tre- mendously interested in the an- imals, particularly the beaver. She appeared on CBC telev- ision together with the Minis- ter and also with the professor on Channel 9. Miss Gilbert was also interested in visiting some of the fur processing plants in Toronto and seeing just what happens to her furs after she ships them. On her return trip, Miss Gil- bert was accompaniel by Mrs. King as far as North Bay where they both attended a fur sale. “How did you manage to get mixed up with trap lines?" this reporter asked Mrs. King. “Well, they were looking for someone who wouldn’t be surprised at anything and they picked me." she replied. And cer- tainly, entertaining such a pleasant and dignified lady fur trapper, must have been a pleasant surprise." Two juveniles were picked up by the Richmond Hill Police last Sunday evening for break- ing into the premises of the Richmond Hill Curling Club on Elgin Mills Sideroad. The only damage was the broken window where the entry was effected and the only 1055 was a couple of bottles of pop. The young- sters will be charged and appear in juvenile court. Arrest Two Juveniles In Curling Club Entry The six piece band is made up of high school seniors living in York North riding. Addison’s Campaign Bandwagon played for several hours at the Richmond Hill Fair where they attracted a respectable crowd. Congi‘étulations also to Mr. A. F. Leek who will celebrate his 88th birthday on June lst. We feel it’s rather unusual to have three elderly people, living within half a mile of each other, celebrate birthdays within three weeks â€"- first Miss Nancy Co- ber, who was 90, then Mrs. Fennel 89, and now Mr. Leek who will be 88. Rather a coin- ciden-ce! Our community was saddened to learn of the sudden passing of Mr. Paul Boadway of Stoufi- ville at Hanover on Sunday. Mr. Boadway has been assisting at the Ratcliff Lumber Yard here and his pleasant face will be missed in our community. Sym- pathy is extended to Mrs. Boad- way and the family, and also to Mrs. Bert Taun and her family in the passing of Mr. Taun. Mr. and Mrs. S. Doner, Mrs. F. Harvey and Mr. and Mrs. A.

CORRESPONDENT: MRS. CHAS. MILSTED Telephone Gomley 5201 GORMLEY NEWS In presenting his report Chief Clarence J. Wideman noted. “Our main traffic problems arise as the result of Don Mills Road being a main artery from Tor- onto to the well known holiday resort at Lake Simcoe. During the year a total of 78 motor vehicle accidents occurred on the 8% miles of the above- mentioned road which passes through the township. During the year (1961) we also had an increase in accidents and traffic ofiences on Bayview Avenue as the result of it now being a ‘paved highway." Teach School Children Safety ‘ P.C.

Markham Twp. Police The annual report for 1961 for Markham Town- ship Police Department has been released. Deputy- reeve Lawson Mumberson had repeatedly asked the chairman of the police committee, Councillor Charles Hooper when it would come before council. On pres- enting copies to the press, Councillor Hooper remark- ed, “It’s not like last year’s which cost $2,000 to pro- duce.” Asked what this year’s report cost he looked at the mimeographed folder containing the report and said, “This was done in the ofi‘ice. Not by a printing firm.” Personnel of the Markham Township Force includes 14 officers, including the chief and one staff sergeant, two patrol sergeants and 10 constables.
