On the elementary school level, several grades at Con- cord are looking forward to a train excursion from Toronto to Hamilton by steam locomo- tive. The grades who studied transportation methods in their social studies courses are being given the opportunity to make this trip. Guess what? Some parents are looking forward to it too! We heard of one senior student who is a little miffed at the whole thing- here’s a chance to get away from it all with your classmates and who has to come along but Mother. to keep an eye on young brother in grade 2. There just aint no justice! At last report the girls base ball team with Miss Freeman coaching were on a winning streak. Hope that luck holds for the series girls. Socials Congratulations are in order this week to two recent gradu- ates of Toronto Teachers’s Col- lege. Wendy Simmons has com- pleted the two-year course and will teach in Richmond Hill. After many years of being a homebody like the rest of us, Lois Nordin decided last fall to take the plunge and go back to school. She has successfully com- pleted her year at teachers col~ lege and will teach in Vaughan Township. Those Finals It seems no time since we were telling the high school crowd to start burning the mid- night oil for Easter exams, and lo and behold, it's time for finals. Good luck kids, on all your propositions. conjuga-l tions, and declensions. For that last word, surely there are still some Latin students around to whom it will mean something! And for chem- istry students. it’s always bet- ter to go by the book's experi- ments and not those charred. smelly test tubes that you ended up with! Train Trip Congratulations to Garth and Marg Budge who welcomed a baby boy last Wednesday. a brother for Gillian and Kim- berley. I hate to say it, but Mrs. Bert Witty has hurt her arm again. This time it was a bad scald on her forearm. and for- tunately it has healed nicely. Belated (I don't seem to have any other kind) birthday greetings to Tori McClymont, May 24. After rummaging through several coat pockets. I came across the paper (bor- rowed) on which I had made notes one day at the PD. Here as far as I can make out is the information. (Go ahead, say it - some correspondent!). Graduate As Teachers Mr. and Mrs. Albert Lapping celebrated their thirteenth wedding anniversary on Mothers' Day. May 12. Several relatives “just happened“ to drop in that day. Mrs. Lapp- ing’s father, Mr. Wm. Murray. Uxbridge. her sister and family. Mr. and Mrs. Ross Phoenix. Orono were among the visitors. An interesting stop-over at the Hydro floral clock which is comprised of approximately 24,000 colorful plants making up the design of the clock face which covers 1,130 square feet. The 12 letters that make up “Ontario Hydro", replace the usual hour numerals. The hour hand weighs 500 lbs. and is 14’6" long and the minute hand is also 500 lbs. and 17'6" long while the sweep second hand is 250 lbs. and measures 21 feet. We wished we were able to stay around until dark to see this illuminated as well as the landscape with its trees and shrubs of 40 acres all lighted Two days later, Steve and I set off for home via Queen- ston Heights. The last time I climbed those 235 steps of Brock's Monument, I was about the age Steve is now - and somehow I sure felt the differ- ence!!

Bowling Lanes. their regular bowling place. day of the holiday week-end. Dropping in at their cottage I found Lorne and Verna Madill. Dick and Ruth Nuttall, Mrs. Ed Clark and her sister-in-law, Mrs. Vi Clark. Doris urged me to make comment on all the work they had done, so I said “I see you have new curtains,” to which she replied, “No, we washed the old ones,” and after this I beat a polite but hasty retreat. Well, they looked new! Actually the men had done a complete reviving job that day, and there were other major changes. such as a par- tition removed. Who, but me, could miss that? Bowling Banquets It may come as a shock to many, but sports such as curl-t ing and bowling have orettv well replaced quilting and rug- hooking as popular winter pas- times among the ladies of; today. Keeping up with this trend, several of Concord’s female population are active in one of these sports, bowling. Many girls belong to both the Tuesday morning and Thursday afternoon groups, while a few of us weaker souls are satis- fied with one session a week. The Tuesday group met at Peller's Restaurant, Willow- dale, for a choice of fried chicken or cold ham plate. Each group of bowlers had‘ its prize winners of course, too‘ numerous to mention. (Well, really I forgot who got what), and the girls on the Spotlight league (Tuesdays) executive deserve special mention for operating on a very limited budget. Everyone ended up with a prize for some outstand- ing feat, either a team or an individual prize, and anyone not satisfied should be drum- med out of the corps. For next seasons bowling get in touch with Donnie Warwick, 285- 3417, if you’d like a pleasant morning or afternoon out. Note of Sympathy The community extends its sympathy to Mr. and Mrs. Ed Clarke and family on the rec- ent passing of Mrs. Clarke’s mother. Mrs. Vanderburg. In her 915t year, Mrs. Vander- burg had been in failing health for some time. We stopped off at the whirl- pool basin where the Spanish Aero car, one of the longest passenger carrying cable rail- ways in the world, swings out over the circling waters. On then to the Great Gorge where the river channel is 300 ft. wide. the current about 27 miles an hour, and the water from 150 to 200 feet deep. Newest tourist attrac- tion at Niagara Falls, is the Seazram Tower just open- ed last June. This is a must and well worth the tab. It is the first concrete and steel structure of its kind on the North American continent and is a “crown” equal to a 7 storey build- ing, 70 feet diameter, atop a 195 It. shaft - a total of 325 ft. high and weighing 19,000,000 lbs.

As it was Thurs- day and Steve still had the “Liberal” to deliver, Pete re- assured himself that his buggy was OK by driving Steve ar- ound on his route. The most common reaction from folk in this area, re the decision of the area school board to cancel Vaughan Music Night for this year, is one of disappointment. It is one event eagerly looked forward to by parents and resl~ dents of our community, as well as the school children. The usual “full house" turn out as witnessed each year seems indicative enough that it is a highlight of the school The cars, as Steve said, look just like his dinkles and they even appear to move mechan- ically, the buildings and trees and shrubs look like a hobbyist had set it all up. It was a most satisfying un- expected three-day holiday in an area I hadn't really taken time out to re-discover for many a moon, recommended to all and especially school aged children, as Steve would verify.

Fire Guts House Save Furniture} Mr. McCailum and his fam- ily managed to save most of their furnishings and personal belongings before the fire de- stroyed the house. Vaughan Township Fire Chief James Davidson said fire- men used 2,300 feet of hose and pumped water on the flames from the Humber River. Fire gutted a house and forc- ed its occupants to flee when flames burst through the roof in Elder Mills last Tuesday. The house owned by D.’ Mc- Callum wgs near Highway 27. The final meeting for this season of the George Bailey Home and School Association, will be held in the school June 5, at 8 pm. A half hour film entitled "The Test" with actress Frances Hyland will be shown dealing with “What ulues do we unconsciously tench our children by our own enmple?" A group discussion will follow. An investigation into the cause of the fire is being car- ried on. The varied age groups from the one-roamed schools up to the larger schools with their own special styles and choice of music was thoroughly en- joyed to the full by all. Flag!

At the May 15 meeting of the finance and general purp- ose committee. Mr. Brian Bailey asked that no decision be made about the hall for at least two weeks. Mr. Bailey stated he hoped to interest members of the community in the idea of repairing and operating the hall originally built a dozen years ago by area residents. The township's police com- mittee recommended to coun- cil that constables be on hand to supervise children crossing Langstaff Sideroad at Yonge Street periodically. The committee recommend- ed to council that a review of tenders for the demolition of the hall be deferred until June 3. Third and final reading was given to a bylaw authorizing the borrowing of $199,795 upon debentures for construction of a waterworks system in the Edgeley water area. Township Solicitor T. 0.
