The first record we have is December 15, 1829, when a number of Presbyterian families met at Maple to form a con- gregation in Vaughan Town- ship. Many families lived on the west side of the township and as the only transportation at that time was on foot they found it very difficult to attend services regularly. In 1837 two groups were formed. one known as the upper corner, an area north of Maple Sideroad con- , sisting of the Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Concessions. The Hum- ;ber group was south of Maple Sideroad and as far west as. the Ninth and Tenth Conces-' sions. The services were held in homes conveniently located.

On February 19. 1844, a meet- ing was held at the home of Neil McEachern to arrange for the building of a church on the Seventh Concession.

Miss Melodye Harrison who has taught at the Patterson School, Bathurst St., in Vaugh- an for the past three years was guest of honour at a country- style picnic at the Folly Farm home of Mr. and Mrs. Graham Walter. She will teach in Thornhill next fall. Miss Harrison’s school is one of the few remaining one- room schools for grades one to eight and is nearly a century old. She was presented with a silver tray by Mrs. Laura Stephenson on behalf of the school.

Guelph Conference Recently Bernice Torrence Richmond Street, attended a: a delegate, the conference at Guelph of the Ontario provin- cial committee on children This is a new group and Bernice found it tremen- dously interesting as she had never realized the focus on the child in the need to fill in the gaps between existing agencies. The Ed Thompson family, ‘Rockview Gdns., was more than happy to claim Mr. Watt as their hero recently when a swarm of bees decided to use their maple ttree as a tempor- ary home. Sort of a case of ~“now you don’t see it, now you do." Betty Thompson went out in the yard to retrieve a sweater left there earlier when she noticed a large brown “object” in one of their small maple trees. Certain that this object wasn’t present earlier, Betty went over to investigate and found the one object was actually several hundred bees, looking like a solid mass. Now, what does one do with several hundred bees? Call Mr. Watt, that’s what. In 1960. a group of people and workers. interested in helping the child who needs and requires special attention, met in St. Adele. This confer- ence- at Guelph grew out of that one and main emphasis was again on the child and his needs‘ After supper the Thompson‘s did just that and about 7.30 pm. the "entertainment" began. For several small child- ren and three adults, the catch- ing of the bees was a most fascinating process. Ignoring technical terms. and writing through the eyes of an inter- ested neighbour, here is what took place. By Ruth Keffer The USA. has its astro- nauts and Russia its “astro- nette," but. when it comes to heroes and flying objects, Concord has Mr. Bob Watt. Beekeeper Saves Day Hives Swarm AtConcord ested neighbour, here is what took place. Mr. Watt placed a couple of stakes, about five feet high, in the ground, on which he set a wooden platform. He placed on this a box of the kind you see ,at apiaries throughout the 1countryside, containing several "slabs" of wax cells. A burlap ‘bag was put on top of the box, and by means of a small “smoke gun" (a metal contain- er which had a spout at one side and a bellows on the other, in which he made a smoke by lighting corrugated cardboard), Mr. Watt made the bees leave the tree and enter the “hive.” A few bees still remained on a branch. and fearlessly Mr. Watt shook them off, while we in the back row died, or nearly so. l l Mr. Watt gave the young- sters a few tips on what to do if stung by a bee. He advises rubbing the stinger out with your thumb or thumbnail. This pushes the poison sac out- ward whereas pulling the, stinger out suddenly will release all the poison into your system. After stinging some- one the bee cannot return home as the others will not let him enter in his defenceless condition, so he eventually dies. Nor is Mr. Watt an unstung hero. He says, “Oh sure, I’ve been stung. You get that for nothing.” In the eyes of some-l one who was stung once on the ankle as a small child.

Mrs. Alf Bagg visited an old friend, Miss Bella Milligan, at Niagara Falls recently.

Swimming Maple Lions Club this year sponsoring lessons at Thornhill area children. Tickets for the swim season which will be July and August are available at Adcock's Var- iety Store or contact local Asking Mr. Watt about how many bees were in the swarm. we were told “Oh, about a pound." Hardly expecting this answer (we were thinking in hundreds of bees), we question- ed further and found out that this is the common way to buy bees. It never occurred to me that anyone bought bees; to us they just sort of “happen”. Mr. Watt informed us that they just sort of “happen”. Mr. Watt informed us that they come from the U.S.. as he said, “Down south where all the trouble is." This prompted the question as to whether or not the bees were segregated. Mr. Watt told us, “Oh, there are black bees, also French, Caucasian and others. These (pointing to Betty’s bees) are Italian bees." When I report- ed this to my husband later Lions for any details on, he rolled his eyes and said, “Someone has been into the grape!" We learned too that when Mr. Watt puts these bees with another swarm, he will put in a separator to keep the queens‘ apart. He says they may still get together and fight, “Strict- ly survival of the fittest." The workers will give their allegiance to the victorious gqueen. Rev.~Lange geared his serm- on to the young boys as he chose the parable of the boy with the five loaves and two fishes that, when blessed, fed the multitude. He told the story as through the eyes of the young boy who had been so anxious to go and hear this Man preach. “B” Pack Cubmaster Russ Locke, his assistant Cubmaster Mel Clarke and Scoutmaster Pat Salmon read the Scriptures for the Trinity Sunday services.

Jimmy took six little friends horseback riding. to celebrate his fifth birthday. Enjoying their ride were Alan Gambell. Robbie Symes, Paul Marziack, LMichael Knapman and David Franks. 6. 7. 8 and 9. placed second with Gillian Rudge, Kathy Burlington. Marsha McClymont and both junior and senior boys placed third. Writing my way up the street, we arrive at Bill and Phyllis Gambell‘s where last Sunday, a family picnic was held. About a hundred mem- bers of the Gambell clan were present, coming from Bramp- ton, Oshawa, Alton, Aurora (Bud Gambell with a beard for the centennial), Burketon and Toronto. The young people i joined in the usual games and -‘races for which prizes were ' given. As with most family pic- : nics, prizes were given for the youngest and oldest members .present, Wayne Gambell, ten , months, was the youngest, and sMrs. Ann Gambell, Mrs. May 1 Bailey (nee Gambell) Alf Bail- .ey and Jack Cresswell shared -lthe honours for oldest ladies gland gentlemen present. al dozen hot dogs and ham- burgers, not to mention the berries and ice cream, the pic- nickers then entered into the usual races and games. What might loosely be called a baseball game closed the evening. We’ll bet some public school coaches are tearing their hair this week as young- sters argue that “at our church picnic, I was allowed five strikes!” or “at our picnic that was a fair ball!” Now. who’s going to call the Sunday school teachers er. uh, well, what- ever you call people who don't tell the truth?

Socials If there‘s a word that just seems to make me shiver. it's Camp was set up Friday night and throughout Satur- day the two cub packs were tested on cub skills - obstacle course, games, cooking, ball throwing, signalling and other tests with enough “free time” which always adds to the fun \of camp life. Sunday morning they attend- ed church service and after lunch family and friends were invited to visit the camp and observe the investiture service and inspect camp before boys broke camp. A huge camporee was held June 21-23, with both Scouts and Cubs camp lng out at Frank Robson's farm.

Back to Mrs. Bagg again. and this time she was a guest at the 43rd wedding anniver- sary party of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Usher. Woodbridge. Held last Sunday in their garden. the weather was most kind to the 35 or 40 guests present for the occasion. Margaret passed her germ on to dear old dad. and Ed Thompson was very ill for several days with a bad throat which thought very little of to-day's wonder drugs. Happily, at last report, Ed was rallying and Betty was knee deep in the math exams written by Ed’s pupils at Beverley Hills Junior High. Barbecue A Success Despite coolish weather last Friday, Zion Lutheran Church's congregational picnic could be termed a success. Whether the crowd around the barflecue was there to study the tech- nique of chefs Burt Pabst and Doug Keffer. or merely to keep warm. we don't know but everyone seemed to be having a good time. Making short work of sever- al dozen hot dogs and ham- burgers, not to mention the berries and ice cream. the pic- nickers then entered into the usual races and games. What might loosely be called a baseball game closed the evening. We’ll bet some public school coaches are tearing their hair this week as young- Manager Marian Holmes just got the “go ahead’ for the game to be played between the all- star Senior Girls“ of the K.V.W. baseball league and the Jockey Club of Woodbine at Maple Community Park July 8. The regularly scheduled senior game will be played at 7 pm, - followed by the chal- lenging game of our champion girls against those fast riding jockeys. every indication is that when a suitable meeting place is available - the Guides will get into the lat Maple swing of things. Maple residents are asked to give as they can, knowing that the Scouts have been and the Guides will be, self sufficient through bpttle drives. apple day, Christmas tree sales - etc. and able to look after the up- keep once the hall is built.
