From such an array of singing and dancing talent, it is difficult to pick the best. As usual the Ziegfield Follies, a male chorus line, drew a big laugh as they coyly went through their routine involving more-or-less precision dancing and high kicking. And in case you didn’t quite recognize them with their “fashion” wigs, the fair dangers were Roy Benton, Carmen Foti, Paul Hunter, (Woo! Wool), Richard Jeffrey, Bruce Atkinson, Randy Alston, Doug Gordon, Paul Rivers, Kim Kellam, Harry Morrison, Dale Crouter, John Maver, Ted McGhee and Brian Clark.

The dramatic success of this club has been due to the efforts of a very active board of directors and the dedicated mothers of the skaters, according to Mrs. Barbara Hannah who is serving her second term as president of the Richmond Hill Skat- ing Club. Mrs. William Hannah of 174 Driscoll Rd., Richmond Hill, has two children, Michael 13 and Susan 12. It was Susan plus the memories of her own skating days as a charter member of the Oak- ville Skating Club that led Mrs. Hannah to be in- volved with the Richmond Hill Skating Club. This club is self-supporting. The fees paid by the mem- bers pay for the pros and the ice. To assist Mrs. Han- nah are the board of directors. They are: Mrs. Ron Craine, Mrs. William Hall, Mrs. George Fenwick, Mrs. Dorothy Francis, Mrs. Ron Wilson and Mrs. Doris Dick. Special departments are looked after by Mrs. Marian Powell (music); Mrs. Joyce Smith (bookings and private lessons); Mrs. Jean Waller (wardrobe mistress) and Mr. Ron Wilson who is the test chairman. It is Mr. Wilson who arranges the Canadian Figure Skating Association Tests. It is only recently that six young club members improved their standings in the C.F.S.A. tests by passing com- pulsory tests before apanel of judges. Mrs. Hannah said that there is an enrollment of 150 to 170 children every year, and they come from all over the district. They come from Maple, King City, Thornhill and surrounding area. “The club is very fortunate to have two very talented and exper- ienced instructors,” said Mrs. Hannah. “They are Miss Eleanor McLeod, a triple gold medallist and the 1960 Canadian Junior Champion, and Miss Isobel Harper who wasAtwo years with the Ice Follies.” “Figure skating does a lot for the children," said Mrs. Hannah. Children learn to love it, and as they advance in their training, they learn important things like good sportsmanship. They acquire grace and poise, and they learn how to perform before the public. Even very young children who are as young as three years old are usually navigating at the end of the season.” All winter long, the children come to the rink at 7 o’clock on Saturday morning to practise the school figure and its variations. Mrs. Ron Wilson is the supervisor of “Patch”. (The arena is divided into patches for the more serious skaters. Each child buys apiece and this is over and above the regular fee.) One of the outstanding events was the “Pop Concert” at the town arena. This was a very fine performance of display skating. “These children are wonderful to work with,” said Barbara Hannah. “I’m constantly amazed and delighted with their interest and co-operation. They help to make this work truly rewarding.” fringe benefit of the whole thing was the pleasure par- ents have had during the past few weeks in hearing VVVMEéfHannah would like to remind members to keep in mind the annual meeting which will be held in the latter part of April.

To be known as “The Cliiidren‘s‘ Aid Society of York County; Education Fund", it was made possible by two bequests, $5.- 000 from the Alonzo Harring- ton Estate and $1,000 from the Percy Snider Estate. This was revealed in the annual report of Hugh M. Grant, treasurer of the Children's Aid Suclety of York County. Executive Director Betty C. Graham reported that at Dec- ember 31 there were 80 chil- dren in faster homes, 36 in a- doption homes and 27 in pri- vate adoption homes. This is a small reduction from the fi- gures at the end of 19_62. "1962 marked the first full year of operation for the county's men- tal health clinic. which has had an unmistakable effect upon our work. particularly in re- ference to troubled parents and their offspring, in their own home." she also noted. A con-‘ structive use of homemakers in keeping children together at home while the mot er is absent for illness is another forward step. Adoption work continued to be a major factor in operatlone of the society. During the year sixty-four children found new permanent homes In the coun- ty, more than twice the num- ber placed three years ago.

For Good Government THE VOTERS' CHOICE; STABILITY or COLLAPSI Toronto Telegram writer asks serious and respon- sible consideration for the stable and majority government plea of the Liberal Party. “Those who voted Conservative in past elections should find it no philosophical problem to vote Liberal in this election. It has been a long time since there has been any philosophical difference between the two parties. This has been one of the voter’s problems, there has been little to choose between them except in the character of the leadership. And in this election Mr. Diefenbaker has simplified the choice by ignoring the realities to which Mr Pearson has returned “Those voters who may feel tempted to say, "A plague on both your houses,” and cast their ballots for one of the fringe parties, should recognize that they cannot thus make any contribution to solving their country’s problems. They can only make them worse. Neither fringe party can possibly form a government. To vote for them is to run the risk of repeating the national indecision of last June. We cannot afford more of such indecision, it could lead to national collapse. Reviewing the coming election in a front page article in a recent issue of The Toronto Telegram, John Saywell, professor of the Department of History of the University of Toronto, states: “For several years Canada has been facing problems which together have sapped the very foundations of her existence as a nation â€" basic structur- al weaknesses in the economy: the need for a new internal and economic orientation; defense and foreign policy; and heightened sectionalism and the revolt of French Canada. “Few major decisions have been made. Those that have, often have ag- gravated the illness rather than cured it. Indecision and inconsistency have marked the course of the Diefenbaker government for several years. eSpecially in the Pitiful Parliament that recently died. “The results of June 18 increased those diseases until they became fatal The government collapsed and the Conservative Party disintegrated. “But the old problems remain unsolved. And unless the country is to col. lapse also! the government must act quickly and decisively. Time is not “We have been without government. We must have government. This is the overriding issue which faces us on April 8. We can resolve it only by electing the Liberal Party with a working majority..” d In a front page editorial Saturday March 28rd, The Globe 85 Mail aai : â€"-â€" “This is what Mr. Pearson has pledged himself to do: First, to initiate a program to stimulate and expand the economy; Second, when there are profits from this stimulated and expanded economy, to use those profits to buy a better life for the people of Canada. “But if Canada is to be set upon this hopeful highway, it is first necessary that we elect a stable government/with a working majority. That we will do so seems, at this stage, to be in doubt. It should not be. We hOpe that Canadian voters will examine the facts calmly, sensibly, and vote accordingly. ori our side. “A minority government, dependant on the whimsical support of ’another party, can act neither quickly, nor decisively, nor wisely.” ' THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday, March' 28, 1933 u I . vfl““““““““ (Inserted by North York Liberal Association) 3:25.1LIBERAL CLASSIFIEDS-Get Results-TU.4-ll LIBERAL VOTE ONLY ANSWER
