Purpose of the meeting to be held at the Canadian Legion Hall on Carrville Road in Richvale is to form a Lions Club branch of Lions International. Among guests at the meeting will be Lions Dis- trict Governor Hugh Mac- Kay who will bring along prominent members from other Lions clubs to out- line organization and pro- cedures to those interest- ed in the community. Anyone sincerely inter- ested in forming a club has been asked to contact the following before June 25. L. Boswell (AV. 5-1929), E. Bailey (AV. 5-3628). K. Bough (AV. 5-3930), N. Lenton (TU. 4-2479) and J. Bailey (AV. 5-3820). This young gentleman, five-year-old Gordon Cameron, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Cameron of Maple may just have overdone his straw- berry munching at the recent strawberry festival held by St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church. More than 100 boxes of the delicious summer fruit Were used last Wednesday at the annual event held in Maple Community Centre. It's The Berries! Last week's train ride from Toronto to Hamilton was just so much wasted time. Nothing was pointed out to the children to give them any indication of where they were, or where they had been. Since the route took us past Fort York. Gren- adier Pond, the Humber and Credit Rivers, the C.N.E. to mention a few places, we felt that these points of interest should have been brought to the children's attention. The Hamilton steel mills and Bur- ington Skyway at the end of the route could also have been mentioned. Granted, most of these things got lost in the shuffle of cement block com- panies and warehouses, but an effort could have been made to make the trip a little more in- formative. ‘ School News and Views A good correspondent is sup- posed to keep her opinions to herself, but since I’m not alone in this case, here goes - Maple librarian Attended 6| st. Library Meet Concord Socials Ontario. meWâ€"nezm If your children say they had a good time I’m sure they did. Within five minutes of board- ing the train, three important discoveries were made; the water tap, the washrooms, and the fact that the seats could be reversed so you could knock knees with your neighbours. This will no doubt be of infin- ite value to the young folk later in life. Many of us were recounting the $4.10 cost of the trip for us and our children ($2.05 each) in terms of grocer- ies, clothes or, perish the thought, our tax bills! Lisa Baron celebrated her eighth birthday last Friday and nine little girl friends eagerly helped her. Guests at her party were Kathy Burlington, Leslie Knight, Louise Scott, Diane ‘Oster, Debbie McGee, Vanessa Olley, Terry Tarling, Heather Keffer, and Barbara Baron, Lisa's cousin, who stayed for the weekend. Socials Concord Public School picnic is to be held June 26 at 12 noon. Pioneer Village is the place, and special admission prices apply. Adults will pay 25 cents and children are ad- mitted free.

Camping Out The Warren Bailies, ConcordJ Ross Bailies, King and the Whaley and Schouwerwou fam- ilies. both formerly from Con- cord camped out recently at Emily Provincial Park, Omee- mee, Ontario.

School Ont - For Some! At George Bailey Public School, the teachers are mark- ing final exams while the youngsters are marking time until school's out. WA Spring Venture Agafn (his year the local green thumb members took on extra chores while the dessert chef took a holiday. The annual plant and bake sale held in the beautiful St. Stephen's Rectory Gardens, was as always most successful. WA members and friends had divided the perennials in their garden and boxed them for sale and then baked their fa- vorite recipe to be sold at the bake table - all proceeds going into the support of their church projects. Mrs. N. Payne was hostess for the June 12 W.I. meeting. Mrs. P. Cook, of Edgeley Insti- tute, took charge of the install- ation of officers, for the com- ing year. Maple Women’s Institute Mrs. N. Robson and Mrs. H. Jackson gave reports of the district annual meeting held at Vellore. The roll call was responded to by the giving of parcels for York Manor, Newmarket. Helen Payne, the hostess’ daughter, entertained with two recitations. Mrs. Wilbert Jennings gave a splendid talk, explaining the ways taken of helping the folk of York Manor to help them- selves. There is a “tuck shop", beauty salon and barber shop for their convenience. Articles, made by the resi-? dents, ware shown by Mrs. F. Cod. who so willingly helps at the Manor. These are sold at the bazaars. It was noted that the 4th Friday of each month is visiting day. June 20 is the date of the WI trip to Guelph; June 21 is the date of the Sharon Temple picnic; on September 5, the WI rally will be held in Wood- bridge Legion Hall. Dates to Remember The travelling basket was passed and articles were sold while Mrs. W. Noble played a medley of old-time songs. Mrs. J. Leece gave the courtesies and the meeting closed with the Institute grace. Next meeting will be held following the holidays Septem- ber 11 at the home of Mrs. W. Noble. A delicious lunch was served by the committee of Mrs. T. Jackson, Mrs. R. Clegg and Mrs. N. Payne. Meet New Niece You‘re sure to see your neighbour there so file on out around supper time with the whole family - any Lion has a ticket - and there’ll be entertainment as well. Maple, Concord and Edgeley District News It‘s not necessary to be a member of Maple Lions’ Club to get in on this big annual spree - June 17. Shur-Gain Farm is the place and the big pits will be working over time bar- bequing those succulent half chickens that are serv- ed along with cole slaw, buns and coffee. “The Liberal” I! always Willing to publish interesting items regarding people and events contributed by its readers Edgeley districts.

They just took four days, driving in their Triumph TR 4, to reach his parents’ Velma and John Brubacher's home in Stouffville. With Garth as driver and Gloria as navigator - they have entered and won - several car rallies. That was before they were married - since then they have yet to get that plaque. The Good-will unit met June 11 at 6:30 p.m., at the home of Mrs. Lloyd Palmer; Rich- mond St. United Church Women The Maple United Church units of U.C.W. closed their act- ivities for the summer months, until September. Pot lunch get-to-gethers were enjoyed by all, with brief bus- iness sessions and a social time. The Friendship unit met at 6:30 p.m., June 12 at the home of Mrs. Bruce Davis, Lancer Drive. Trout Were Popping When George Lawrie and‘ Roy Crook with young Ronnie Crook, took off for Coldwater on a recent Sunday afternoon - they got right to the business of fishing. Within a couple of hours, 16 beautiful trout had tried out their bait and ended in a fish fry. Not Just Imagined For George it's the fun of ‘jest fishin" but for his wife - it's the taste that counts! When Liberal John Addison arrived at the morning coffee party, given way back then - before elections - by Eleanor Lloyd, Goodman Cres.-he men- tioned something about finally finalizing the arrangements for the display of an astronaut’s capsule during Aurora’s centen- nial. Seems few folks knew about it and figuered I was dream- ing when I mentioned it. N 0 W it’s in all the centennial news and quite fittingly it’s Scott Carpenter’s “AURORA 7". Mr. Addison had made the contacts and arrangements. On display at the Aurora armouries, from June 30 the “Aurora 7" will be just one of the exciting projects the centennial president Don Glass and his commit- tee have been working on for months to ensure their town’s 100th anniversary will have interest, excite- ment and fun for their neighbours and guests, of all ages. Canadian Rose Society However I missed out on this news is even beyond me - Maple had a “Rose Princess"; chosen from R.H.H.S. to com- pete in the Rose Queen compe- tition in connection with ‘Rose Week’ when Richmond Hill, the ‘Town of a Million Roses' is host through the R. H. Chambâ€" er of Commerce to the annual national show of the Canadian Rose Society - held June 22 in the R. H. High School.

ALpine 7-1150: In Edgeley md Sherwood, Mrs. Raymond Stuart, AV. 5-1934; alas - even as we write this we won’t get the results in time. of who was chosen “Rose Queen" - (to go in Maple Notes, that is) as Debbie's big night will have been last Tuesday. Proceeds from the selling of the roses as well as from the tickets sold at last Tuesday’s Rose Queen Ball, at Bayview Secondary School - will all be turned over to the Y. C. H. Auxiliary. At this stage of writing - we're rooting for Debbie, but chosen Queen or not, as Rose Princess she has had a ball al- ready and will be riding on the float in the big parade planned for this Saturday. Hope you read elsewhere in the "Liberal" and will contri- bute to the York Central Hos- pital Auxiliary as the Candy- Stripers (our junior auxiliary members) will be selling roses - the permanent kind - all around Richmond Hill this week at 25¢ each. The price per ticket to attend the Rose Show is 50c so that all the family will be able to see this display of beauty with its hundreds of varieties and colors. Helping to make this event being held for the first time outside of a large city, a suc- cess and credit to local and dis- trict rose growers and rose lovers, music will be supplied during the show by the Rich- mond Hill Symphony Orchestra. Again Maple is represented as Ilsa and Ray Thompson, of Welton Street, play the cello and violin, respectively, in this orchestra.

Richmond Hill A val Congratulations to pupils and teacher alike. Maple Minor Hockey Assoc. When the M.M.H.A. held its annual meeting recently, plans had been made with the hope that the enthusiasm of the first year, perhaps still held over from the early spring banquet and presentation of trophies. However. as will happen. a very small number attended. For once, I’m complaining! I was the only ‘femme’ present - except for an executive mem- ber - in the group of perhaps 40 men! The original executive was unanimously re-elected with the addition of two more directors, President, Dalt McArthur; vice pres- ident, Bob McIntyre; secre- tary - treasurer, Lorraine (Larry Stevenson; Direc- tors Reg Thacker, Roy Roe- worth, Norm Ruttle and Hugh McConkey. A sincere thank you was giv- en by President Dalt McArthur for assistance and support of coaches. referees, executive, publicity, drivers and just plain rooters - the parents and neigh- bours of the Atom (Squirt) and Pee Wee League players. The boys themselves really dug in‘ and played hard and took coaching and instruction seri- ously so as to make it all worth while for those who gave the time and effort in organizing and making it possible for min- or hockey to come to Maple - albeit via the Schomberg Rink. Everyone of course, knew the report of the first season of minor hoc- key was a successful one, above and beyond every- one’s hopes or dreams. A bank account of more than $250 was even realized for a second season’s start. ant welcoming of a new day - heck it isn't even “day” yet unless from atop that tall tree he has an advantage of seeing the sun first. He is usually joined by one or two more (which doubles or triples my fury) until they figure I'm about ready to aim and fire at about 5 to 5, thereabouts, when they fade out and leave it to the chirping of the sparrows. By now, somehow I’m fumed out and can abide them as I grab that last hour and a half before I must be sure number one son is awake (There are times when I even get a fiend- ish delight in having to wake up Pete!) So now I'm rapidly crossing “early birds" off my preferred list and relegating them to that other horrendous list that in- cudes dogs that yap incessantly all day long, early hour and Sunday lawnmowers. Who says we mellow with age! Bah! This is the Ultimate We of Vaughan Township are made conscious through the reporting of the "Liberal" and seeing that brown and beige convertible whisk around the town and countryside - that the first lady to be elected to the Vaughan Council, is‘ completely in her element while discussing township top- ics or as chairman of the water works department.

He is a frequent visitor to Woodbridge and recently spent a weekend with Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Tizzard. He will work this sum- mer as a research assistant at Connaught Laboratories and would like a Saturday job to supplement his in- come. Along with heading his class, he was second among first year graduates and won the Association of Professional Engineers’ scholarship valued at $300. He plans to return to Africa when he completes his course and hopes to work at an oil re- finery at his home town, Port Harcourt in eastern Nigeria. Woodbridge High School stu- dents put $300 in the pocket of a 17-year-old Nigerian student attending University of Toronto and it was rewarded. He is Eugene Chianakwaiam Ibe who topped his class in chemical engineering this year; he has been in Canada for a year through his sponsor the African Student Federation and the Woodbridge students raised his pocket money.
