When I first moved here from Mont- real some five years ago. I was told that before long I'd become content to sit back. put my feet up and not yen-n for those far away green fields. Fortunately for me that time hasn't arrlved yet and surely it hasn't caught up with the rest of the whole town? Come on. lets hear from you! This is the time of year when lots of exciting things are happening â€"â€" graduations, hol- idays, etc. Let's Show our "Liberal" readers that Maple is an interesting and going con- olefin.

Last year, having been so chosen. she went right into the finals so with your support and enâ€" couragement, this year she could very easily go right to the top. Congratulations Diane from all of us as we realize this is a contest where dairy skills are essential. Bridal Shower Intending to get a few point- ers on make-up, bride-to-be Mar- nie Davis was completely un- prepared for the “SURPRIZE” that greeted her when she and her mom Pat Davis, opened the door of their next door neigh- bour Jo Anne Derono. Many, neighbours and friends had‘ gathered to wish Marnie best wishes in a tangible way, a lin- en shower. The many linens were varied in assortment and most acceptable to any bride. (Some of us old timers looked on, green with envy. at the new colours and ideas available in the linen line compared to the dwindling supply of common [variety in our closets!)

A1- tl owgh at the time he was min- ister at Stratford, he was feel- ing it to be a heavy charge because of his physical condit- ion, so he accepted the call to Maple. Highly Respected Maple Resident Late Rev. A. G. Donald Life Of Christan Service In July, 1954 the vision of the need for this building took concrete form when the Well’s Organization was engaged to organize the financial needs fol- lowing the plans for financing and architectual designs. The sum of $65,000 was pledged {over a period of three years. (By Toby Shore) With the sudden death of the Rev. A. G. Donald on May 21, the congregations of Maple United Church, Hope and Edgeley, were left to mourn not only the passing of their former minister, but indeed a near and dear friend. Throughout his sojourn in Maple, he had endeared himself to all those fortunate enough to come in contact with him. The first sod was turned in July 1956 and the new Christ- ian Education Centre was offic- ially opened in February, 1957. This perhaps was Mr. Donald’s happiest and most rewarding ex- perience. When in 1958, because of his heart condition, he felt it nec- essary to retire from regular ministry, he had made a pro- found impression on the com- munity as a whole and endeared himself to many. Hle exempli- fied the true Christian in his daily life and through his sym- pathy extended to those in trouble, proved himself a true friend. Mrs. Donald and their daugh- ter, Marion. who has, since leaving Maple, taken a special course in Toronto and is now teaching the deaf, are remem- bered with great affection and the sympathies of all Maple district is extended in their great loss. . ' Their other daughter Helen, Mrs. G. Hunter, "lives in Rich~ mon‘d Hill. The funeral service at the Willowdale United Church. May 24, was conducted by the Rev. Dr. Clifford Torrance. superin- tendent of newly established churches in and around Tor- onto. It was under the auspices of Dr. Torrance that Mr. Don- ald had been serving the past months in Aurora. Fitting tribute was paid to a man who had given hi1 life in the service and love of his people. A large representative group from Maple attended the fun- eral services to pay their grate- ful respects to their former minister and friend. Throughout his stay in Maple Mr. Dona-1d had served as chap- lain with the Vaughan Masonic Lodge.
