Jim who just completed his first year at Queen's is studying to be a minister. Jim was to preach his first sermon on April 28. We certainly wish him all sorts of luck in this new and wonderful experience. A little late in getting into the column. but nevertheless: Mr. and Mrs. Bob Kirk along with their friends Mr. and Mrs. Vanderburg from Montreal spent Easter week-end in New York. They saw many interest- ing places and things including the famous Easter Parade. All in all they reported a wonder ful lime. Mr. and Mrs. Howard Barnard. from Cheminis, Northern Ontario. visited with the Reads last week. I would like at this time to correct two “goofs” which l made in the column last week. first of all I announced that the 'l‘hornhill United Church Junior Choir was to simz at the service May 5, at the Carr- ville United Church, instead it is to be the Thornhill United Church Senior Choir. Second~ ly I reported that it was Johnny Walker and his friend who found the long lost wal- let of Mr. Ray Baker instead it was Johnny’s big brother Brian and his chum who found it and returned it to Ray. ’l‘he measles have at lasl invaded the southern end 01' Carrville and spotted up three little fe110\vs being Kevin Winger and Ronnie and Peter Read. They all came through with flying colours. Happy birthday to Barbara Veitch who has a birthday on May 5. and to Gretta Middle- ton who also has a birthday on May 6.

Richmond Hill Klondike Comes To Richmond Hill In the true gambling spirit of the ‘trail of 98‘ visitors to the Klondike Night sponsored by the Richmond Hill Rotary Club and held in the Lions Hall gather around the wheel of fortune to try their luck. Handing out the money in the foreground is Doug Booth, secretary and Walter Wilson, Klondike Night chairman.

M.C. for the evening was ""5 W‘” E" Club President Don Plax- | “our” Ch“ ton. who. attired in a to the Y" bright red vest and natty ‘1 Dual fund‘ white ten gallon hat. call- ed out the lucky numbers for the door prizes and auctioned off some of the larger prizes for Klondike dollars. Over a hundred prizes weretdistributed this way throughout the even- ing, although the so-cailed “auction” became some- thing of a small riot, with the auctioneer grabbing ! what looked like the lar- gest wad of “bills” and hoping the parcel finally reached the right hands. Costumes for the evening were exceedingly varied, rang- ing from neat “anticipation” ‘smocks to a couple of frothy‘ can-can dancers. One of these,I Judy Veyssiere wore a frilly; outfit of bold pink and white. stripes. with a sequinned bodw ice and a gay garter above one ‘black-stockinged knee. Ruth Rabinowitch was strikâ€" ing in a floor-sweeping gown‘ of cream coloured lace. cut low‘ in the back. Isabel Butler was? 'trim and attractive in a dress of brown and gold with a headâ€" dress of peacock feathers. Fewer of the men had come in costume but most of theI croupiers sported fancy vests‘ and moustaches. John Lunn. who presided at the roulette wheel appeared most in keep- ing. decked out in a check vest, a ribbon tie and a neat Van Dyke beard and beautifully curled moustache, Adding to ‘the general effect was his love- lly hairdo, with the front fringes brought forward in becoming spit curls. Dorothy Plaxton had on a‘ floor-length gown of yellow tafâ€"'> feta with a yellow and black plaid pannier and bustle which‘ was quite effective. Mrs. Vi1 McLatchy was very smart in a floor length black velvet even- ing cloak with stand-up collar. With this she wore a hat trim- ‘med with blue and black ostrich plumes. Later in the evening most of the cast of the Curtain Club's presentation of “When We Are‘ Married". appeared in costume. Gerry Crack made a charming gaitered clergyman. although he looked a trifle out of charac- ter leaving the bar with assort- ed drinks. And although no Klon- dike Kate or Dan McGrew were chosen as advertised. this reporter would nomin- ate for Klondike Kate. Mary Monks. who made a most attractive can~can dancer. Her brief and frothy cos, tume was largely composed of black lace with a bow of black tulle at the neck and on her hat. She wore the traditional long black stockings and under her one say garter. neatly carâ€" ried her wad of Klondike dollars. None of the men appeared in costumes which could be really called authentic. but probably the closest was the stalwart gentleman with the red toque and high-cut boots, although he was reminiscent more of Paul Bunyan than Dan McGrew. Dennis Thatcher appeared in the Edwardian morning clothes he wore in his part in the Curtain Clle play and was told he had won a prize as the best dressed man. although no announce- ment was made to this effect. Most costumes were worn by courtesy of the Curtain Club. Chairman of the com- mittee organizing the affair was Walter Wilson who was assisted by Sandy Veys- siere, Keith Sully, Chuck Taylor and Archie Crosier. Something over $500 was realized by the event and this will go to meeting the Rotary Club's commitment to the York Central Hos- pital fund. 1.78 Yonge St, N., Richmond Hill, Ont Hold on to your hot!

There was a co-operative nursery super- vision for the children which made the swim mornâ€" ing a happy family outing. It is hoped that this summer the swim program and other interests may be extended to girls 12 to 16 who don’t go off to camp or the cottage. When women have shared good fellowship in crafts and physical activities; in meditations and planning sessions. they become in- terested in discussions. They participated in listen- ing groups for the real world of women. They ex- plore a wide range of subjects and show concern for their community and for the wider fellowship. There is real stimulation in belonging to a wide world movement and having kinship with people of other cultures. Through articles and reports. shared interests and programs, exchange visits and confer- ences, people all over the world become known and loved and the world is no longer made up of vague masses and strange problems. 'l‘HERE‘LL BE FUN UNDER THE SUN AT RICHILDACA Jean and Bill Babcock of 193 Richmond St” Ricliildaca Camps Ltd, will be having some talented people from the area to help carry out their fine pro- grams this year. The program is built around out- door living in groups.» Activities of all kinds ,are the order of the day. The fees are modest and trans- portation is provided; qualified first aid persons are in daily attendance. Brian Orton from Newmarket. the popular Red Cross instructor will be on duty at the pool along with his assistants. Both Red Cross and royal life courses are offered. David Rabino- witch. Richmond Hill, is in charge of crafts. This program has no less than fifteen different creatiVe activities. sure to delight and challenge every child. A graded program of campcraft has been set up to enable the camper to become a skilled outdoorsman through his experience at Richildaca. Cooking, fire- building, tracking. tent-pitching. canoeing, rowing and water safety are only some of the skills involved. Dorothy Woods of Richmond Hill will be giving the riding lessons. There is no charge for having a canter on Jody, Biscuit, Toby and two new Shetland ponies. Ross Urquhart, principal of the Langstaf‘f Public School, has an exceptional program on nature lore. You can bet that there will be plenty of inter- esting things to study at the spring-fed stream, the pond and think of those rambles through the bush and fields. If it is games. you’ll have fun on a play- ing field that has a regulation area for soccer, base- ball, archery. volley-ball and a host of other low- organization games. There will be permanent camp- ing at Richildaca. I believe that this is a new feature which will have Brian Atkinson of Richmond Hill in charge. Under the guidance of this experienced counsellor, the boys will spend a ten day period at the camp living in “tentcabins”. They will cook all their meals, wash their dishes, enjoy sing-songs, campfires, swim, hold regattas on the pond, erect major projects on the grounds, build rustic furniture, study astronomy, go fishing, canoe and perform many other projects. Bill and Jean Babcock are proud to be the only day camp in Canada offering canoe trips to their campers. Only the best canoes, paddles, packsacks, and foods are available to their campers. Qualified, experienced campers are on hand to in- struct the would-be trippers and to lead them on their trips. This sounds like a mighty interesting pro- gram, and a wonderful chance to live a healthy out- door life and learn manywonderful things.
