Pine hill on Maple Road, it had belonged to the late Dr. and Mrs. Fred Routledge. Its spaciousness and beauti- fully kept grounds proved to be the lovely setting for the wedding of Charles and Jean Miller, 25 years ago last week. In honour of their anniver- sary, the present home owners, Hugh and Ruth gave a dinner party May 11th for this delight-l ful Maple couple. As fashion designer and artist, Jean is well known throughout ‘such circles and Charles is a lnoted member of the Vaughan ;Township Planning Board and ‘chairman of the committee of adjustment. Close personal friends Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Robertson of Toronto and Mrs. and Mrs. John Belknap of King City were also dinner guests who joined in anniversary congratu- lations and welcoming Jean and Charles Miller home from their month's holiday in Spain, Majorca Island and England.

Following the careful "obser- vation, discussion with various residents, teenagers a n d officials" - it was no news to a large group of Maple folk that Mr. Mike Andrassy, execu- tive secretary of N.Y. Branch YMCA should state in an H 8: 5 meeting that “at this point he was not certain that Maple ‘has a "problem." It Was No Surprise .This was in relation to the expressed feeling of some residents that we do have a "problem" involving our teen- agers and that. quote "it is obvious that modern teenagers require outlets for their ener- ‘gies and talents" - unquote. Some of Ill more old Iashioned types were of the opinion that in a health! community such as ours - all the boys and girls needed, above what in already available, was to be let be just boys and girls and allowed to explore life a little more on their own. enjoying and hanging on to their "teens" - not pushed or rushed into Our thanks to Mr. Andrassy for his understanding, his time and effort spent in our behalf and interests "adults! The first meeting in the 1963-64 season of the Edgeley Women's Institute was held on May 2 at the home of Mrs. G, H. Boake, with Mrs. Boake, the new president. presiding. Mrs. J. G. Snider, convener of citizenship and education conducted a lively discussion on Ontario laws, and dealt particâ€" ularly with instances whereby Some of our laws are not en- forced. The roll call, in keeping withthe program, was answered by1 each member stating “A Law I Would Like to Have Enforced." A few mentioned were: more control over dogs running at large; slower driving of school buses; prosecution of persons Edgeley WI Enjoy Varied Program T0 ORAL FRENCH We. the committee opposing the implementing of Oral French, at this time, into the elementary schools of Vaughan Township School Area. appre- ciate the action of the school board in withdrawing indefin- iter their motion of March 14, 1963. Because the chairman of the school board ruled that there was to be no discussion on the subject from anyone other than the board members, and, because of some of the state- ments made by these members, we feel we, as a committee, should reply through the press. We would remind Mr. Jolliffe that it the board had been exercising good principles. and had been guided by the meet- ing of March 7, 1963, as they should have been, this motion would not have been made. Also we would remind Mr. Jolliffe that those who opposed the motion of March 14th, were not a pressure group, but the taxpayers of Vaughan Town- ship. the same people who elected this school board. We would point out to Mr. L. Wells. that this committee did not base its opposition entirely on the financial aspect of the issue. Although the board should have recognized, that because of the extreme cost of teaching Oral French, this was not a feasabl‘e experiment for our school board to undertake at this time. We would point out that the time element, the views of the Department of Education, the problems which would arise in our rural schools, the loose planning, the unfinished pro- jects and other more import- ant needs relevant to elemen- tary education - all these points were submitted to the board, to which they gave no satisfac- ltory answers. We will state once more, that We are interested in good Maple Women Adapt Young Korean Boy Maple United Church Women are sponsoring an eight-year- old Korean refugee through the Canadian Save the Children Fund. Bong Do Chal in grade two of primary school in Pusan, Korea, has four sisters, Chai Bong Soak, 15 years old, Chai Bong Sun, 11 years old, Chal Bong Nat. and Chai Bong Ryun, flve-year-old twins and a brother, Chat Bong. three years old. The UCW’s sponsorship will aid in Bong Do Chai's school- ing and the family's living expenses. This year the church group is studying countries in the rim of east Asia and has a particular interest in Korea. Before the Korean war. the‘ family lived in middle Korea‘ where Bong Do Chai's father worked in a printing shop; but they took refuge in Pusan when Communist troops invaded. The father who was employed ‘as a casual labourer, developed {stomach trouble and was un- able to work. The mother, peddling face cream bottles door to door makes a profit of about $10 a month for the family. Rent for their room in a hilltop house with no water, electricity or sanitation is about $2.50. the UCW learned. They‘ plan to correspond with the boy. COMMITTEE OPPOSED Dear Mr. Editor Bong Do Chi! responsible {or vandalism, par-3 ticularly in cemeteries, the: cases in point being a Wood-‘ bridge Cemetery in which tombstones were toppled and demolished and in Fisherville United Church cemetery where tombstones are toppled and broken and the cemetery grounds are in a badly neglect- ed state.

Kaisir, that when he indicat- ed to the people attending the meeting May 9th that Oral French would eliminate failures in our secondary schools in grades 9, 10 and 11, that pupils are seldom allowed to fall in‘ our elementary schools, but are often advanced according to age. It is when children reach secondary school that the ‘process of elimination beglns. It would be interesting to‘ know the percentage of our grade students, who, upon reaching secondary school, must repeat grades 9 or 10 and from what schools in the area they have come. We believe this would point out the need for the sound basic education which we desire for our elementary schools. We feel Mr. W. Baillie was correct when he indicated that the board had not all the information needed to carry out this projcet. Committee Opposed To Oral French.
