Conservationists tell us that when a white trillium flower is picked. the plant will not bloom again. We understand that this is not so regarding the red trilllum. which is less desirable on account of its dls- agreeable odor. I The season has come once again for the annual display of the beautiful white trilliums - our floral emblem for Ontario. A few prestige homes are nearly completed in the square, but of over 3000 residential lots, one-third of them are for semi-detached and multiple dwellings. indicating that a large number of those who will live there will be in the middle and low income groups. Finch Avenue. with its ' highway 400 interchange is expected to be a key traf- fic centre of the area with- in a few years. And so it will seem but a short time indeed, until "us natives" will find it difficult to identify such well known spots as the Ross Anderson farm. the Thompson farms. the Hoover farm. and many other farms on which the owners helped to keep the county go- ing for so many years and so many generations. Hands Off the Trilliums There are big things happen- ing along the southern border of our community. A billion dollar square. as it is called. bounded by Steeles, Sheppard, Highway 400 and Keele Street is taking shape. It appears to be the fulfillment of a forecast last year. that a satellite city would spring up in the vicinity of Pioneer Village. It is in this area that York University this year. according to Dr. Ross. is planning to commence con- struction of its university campus. Thesquare is already designated as the downtown of Metro Toronto of the future. Planning officials be- lieve the population of the square should increase from the present 3000 resi- dents to 100,000 by 1966 when they expect the square to be almost fully completed. An industrial zone is in and immediately west of the square. Plans are underway for two large shopping centres at Finch Ind Jane Streets. Finally last week the show "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying," was decided on for a matinee appearance by winner Myra Bloom. Dressed in an old, old timer man’s bathing suit - a gay adventurous old blade ready for the sea shore - Myra had won first prize and was O'Keefe Centre Choice During the past winter months, St. Stephen Anglican Church G.A. had a costume contest with the winner to have her choice of one of the O'Keefe Centre attractions she would like to attend. Overheard a comment on the phone, “ . . . yeah that only leaves about six more weeks of school!"

Mrs. Ruth McConkey, chairman of the Vaughan Township waterworks committee, has pointed out that while all residents of the area serviced by the system which encompasses the village have been charged an initial annual rate of $36 per home, there have not been sufficient consumers to operate the system profitably. As further develop- ment of the area takes place the need for extra taxation will be lessened, she said. At present there are 500 consum- ers of the service. With regard to any effect the new pumping station will have on resi- dents in the Pleasantville Subdivision, located just west of Richmond Hill, Mrs. McConkey said it would be the same as when the Maple water area was first serviced. Those people whose well levels were above that of the well used at the pumping station would likely find these dry. A further new pumphouse located at Edgeley, which is adjacent to Jane Street and No. 7 Highway, will come into operation shortly. It has been de- signed to handle a large volume for use in industry in that area. Mrs. McConkey drew attention to the fact that the new emergency pump- ing unit at Maple will be completed dur- ing the coming month. This outfit has been designed to come into play should there ever again be a hydro failure such as at the time of the propane gas explos- ion in Maple last year. ,â€" .1 =’ .â€" WWWllllllll\lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll\lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllklllllllllllllllllllllllllll“llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll\llllllllllllllllllllll\llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll“llll\llll\lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllfi 18 THE LIBERAL, Richmond HEM IhurisdayLApri1'2d5k1953 Maple, Concord and Edgeey DistrictNews Extra Mill For Maple Water "The Liberal" is always willing to publish mu districts.

Women with small children are particularly invited to at- tend the meetings. Children are most welcome. It was the tragic death of a small child that sparked the creation of the Women's Institute over sixty years ago and the welfare of children has since been the prime concern of all the branches. In addition to pro- jects undertaken in the interest of children, others are tailored for the homemaker with her many and varied problems of making a home for her familm to be seen. we presumed he (or she) was away collecting more of the precious flowers. We often wondered what they did with so many trilliums, and if they realized the harm that they were doing to the species. May we see you at the ne§t meeting?

Blast Victim's Widow Receives Queen's Medal Mr. Joslin, a 50-year-old stock clerk, saw gas vapors rising from the company’s storage yard, and appar- ently ran to seal it off. The explosion occurred be- fore he got there. Over $50,000 damage resulted from the explosion and following fire. It was never definitely determined what caused the blast. Accompanying Mr. Joslin’s medal was a certificate and letter from Secretary of State J. Ernest Halpenny. It read: “This award is in recognition of your husband's valiant act in trying to prevent the ex- plosion and fire which occurr- I’m always amazed when I pass through “Edgeley” while driving and then doubly so when reading the newly elected W.I. officers listed in “Edgeley1 Doings" - just where do all these people hide when I drive by?

Jack- The Queen's Medal, given in recognition of brave conduct, has been received by Mrs. Her- bert Joslin of Maple, on be- half of her late husband, who was fatally injured in the pro- pane plant explosion at Maple last August. Maple Women’s Institute Grandma Yake had her‘ Easter time livened up with a‘ visit from granddaughter 6 year old Lynn Archer, 31 Neo- politan Drive, Scarboro while Nancy Jean Yake found it more fun to playwith a cousin, who is just her size, over the holi- ;days. No doubt Bea Boake could give me an answer to that! On April 10, the Maple W.I. met at the home of Mrs. L. Clarke. The roll call was responded to by the paying of fees and suggestions for next year’s activities. A Richvale man. Charles Garnet Robson, has been awarded the same commenda- tion for attempting to rescue Mr. Joslin. Both awards were announced in the Canada Gazette. Mom, Phyl, sang in St. Stephen's choir and was a Monday night bowling league member as well as being active in lst Maple Boy Scouts Ladies' Auxiliary.

WATER HEATING COOKING DRYING HEATING Natural Gas and Propane Gas FOR COMPLETE SALES - SERVICE NATURAL GAS OR PROPANE Mrs. McConkey drew attention to the fact that the new emergency pump- ing unit at Maple will be completed dur- ing the coming month. This outfit has been designed to come into play should there ever again be a hydro failure such as at the time of the propane gas explos- ion in Maple last year.

It has been de- signed to handle a large volume for use in industry in that area. GAS MERCHANDISING CENTRE RICHMOND HEIGHTS PLAZA +Wi|| Open Village On ‘May 18-20 During Easter weekend, an impatient public decided not to wait for the official opening, and swarmed through the vil- lage grounds, ignoring the gate- sign informing them that the village was closed due to wet conditions underfoot. The 1963 season's opening of Pioneer Village will take place on May 18-19-20. Some fifteen restored build- ings will be open for public tours. Restoration work is being completed on two new build- ings for opening day - a har- ness maker’s shop and a shoe maker‘s shop. The harness maker's shop came from New- tonbrook where it stood for many years adjacent to the art- isan’s house which is now loc- ated in the village. By MRS. RAYMOND STUART Plans for the opening week- end include “pioneers” living in the village, classes in the school house, and an interde- nominational church service. There will also be a photo- graphic competition open to all visitors. At this point Olive Seed can’t lose! Having never had luck in draws etc, before - she won at the Gala Hockey Night. A short time later whilst in Woodbridge - just having stopped off with hubby Dick - she sat upon a lucky number chair winning $5.00 in 50 cent pieces. So stand back - it’s Maple’s turn at the Irish Sweepstakes! She's on a win- ning streak. Which reminds me of my westward neighbour,. Muriel Rose, that wins more door prizes than anyone I know - even in bottle tops yet!

Mr. Oman Bowes has been grounded for a couple of weeks with pneumonia, but we can happily report that he too is on the mend. Mrs. Nora Symons and Christine, Port Hope, spent a few days with Mrs. Alf Bagg during the Easter vacation. Missed Again! I'm never disappointed when visiting the Concord Brownies to pass their toymaker's work. So much skill and imagination goes into their efforts that, fortunately, I never have to refuse a girl her badge. Scrap- books, stuffed toys. doll clothes, a “room” in a shoe‘ box, all these are just a sample of their originality; and while two or more girls may choose to make the same project the individuality is still very much in evidence. A pat on the back to the leaders, Mrs. Simmons, Mrs. Sherman and packie, Valerie Simmons for their untiring efforts. Socials Five Brownies are to be con- gratulated on passing tests for their toymaker’s badge. The girls are Paula Sanders, Marsha McClymont, Elizabeth D‘Eath, Robin Clarke and 'Susan Hallawell. Two girls also passed their Golden Hand tests recently. Congratulations to Gloria Bowes and Allain Nordin. 1 Brownies Easter Sunday must The lovely ladies are (left to right) Helen Davies and Shirley Kitchener of Vaughan Town- ship, Sheila McDonald of Maple and Joanne Hogg of Woodbridge.

Each person made a donation and the couple were presented with a sizeable monetary gift at the close of the evening. The event took place last foggy, Friday even- mg. Presentation Over 100 people turned out to fihe Orange Hall at Palgrave ‘been the day for the ice to leave Lake Simcoe, at least “our” portion. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Keffer, and Carole and her friend Marilyn Tobey went up on Good Friday to check on things and the ice was still just several feet from shore. Last Sunday, not a sign of ice was to be seen, and Margaret and George Pike, cottage neighbours said that the Monday after Easter they could see just a bit of ice at the far shore. So, when it goes it goes. There was even a boat tearing around last Sunday, so the great white silence is gone for another year.
