The $100 scholarship must be used to further the girl’s educ- utlon. Elmore Reamon, has research- ed this subject with commend- able Industry. The task was no simple one, as the Huguenots. the much~persecuted colonialist protestants of France, tended not to form solid groups retain- ing their identity, but eagerly accepted assimilation wherever possible. This tendency made the job of tracing them increas- ingly formidable. Dr. Reaman handled the job in the only possible way. by ferretlng out family backgrounds. He gives first of all an outline history of these worthy and industrious people, then followed their mig- rations to other parts of Eur- ope, the United States and South Africa. But the main portion of the book is devoted to their penetrations into Can- Ida. A native of Vaughan Town- ship, and well known in Rich- mond Hill where his mother lived for many ars, G. Elmore Reamon is the uthor of a new book, “The Trail of the Bug- uenots", which has just been published by Thomas Allen.

Radission, La Salle and Frontenac in the develop- ment of Canada. These, he says,‘ “are either severely critized or‘ lightly passed over as having contributed little," and this treatment is due to their hav- ing been non-Roman Catholics. He charges that historians in Canada, "have never bothered to make a study of the early days of New France to learn if Protestantism ever played a major role, or- any role, in fact, in its discovery." The point is an intriguing one. Edgelca Jerseys. one of the oldest established Jer- sey held; In this area, ad- ded to Its laurels at the re- cent cattle show at the Ca- nadian National Exhibi- tlon.

The order of service followed that of 100 years ago, except that it was in German at that time. The church, after 40 years’ inactivity, was re-opened by request of the trustees who had been asking for some years that another service be held in the old church. The 139-year-old Mennonite Church in Edgeley was filled with worshippers and many more were seated in the church yard last Sunday afternoon when members of the Mennonite Order from Markham and Stouffvil-le areas heard sermons from three ministers and sang hymns without accompaniment from any musical instrument: Several local citizens joined in the service which was conducted by Bishop Abraham Smith, Mr. Alvin Baker and Mr. Fred Nighswander. Mr. Baker was the main speaker and Mr. Nighswander outlined the history of the church. No plans exist at present to add Edgeley church to the circuit. Music plays m important part in Marlene's life. She has completed her grade 10 piano, grade 8 vocal, theory and bar- mony examinations, and is now working towards her degree. She teaches piano, takes vocal lessons and sings in a choir. Mrs. Elton Armstrong of Ar- mltage made thg presentation, and on behalf of the Women's Institutes of York County wish- ed Marlene success in her fut- ure endeavours. is fascinating reading for any- one interested in local history. Dr. Reaman also organized the Yark County Pennsylvania Folk Lore Society, in which descend- ants of the original settlers keep alive the achievements of these men and women who cleared the wilderness and laid the foundations of clvilixation in lthls part of the new world.

Everybody Welcome Donald Plaxton Liberal Candidate York North and Mrs. Plaxton ata Mr. and Mrs. John Neufeld Saturday, September 14th GARDEN PARTY You are cordially invited to meet to be held at the home of finals of the 1963 Ontario Dairy Princess competition and can only say I did my best: if the competition were to be re-run tomorrow, there would be nothing I would do differ- ently.

Keele St N., Maple BY DIANE FIERHELLER As'York County Dairy Prin? cess for the past three years and Central Ontario Dairy Princess for 1961 and 1962, I would like to thank the people of York and the Richmond Hill Fair Board, Toronto Milk Pro- ducers, Federation of Agricult- ure. the co-ordinating board and particularly Don Fairburn who acted as master of cerem- onies at the ONE. contest for his kindness and encourage- ment in making everyone feel at ease during the trying mom- ents of the competition. The dairy farmer and his industry am becoming well known, it is only through un- derstanding that coâ€"operatlon will be achieved. Only through co-operatlon with distributors and processors. will.the farmer receive a better milk market- ing plan. Every girl who enters a dairy princess contest. on the county or provincial level. wins a fight for her heritage. She is helping the dairy industry to become known by the use of her name, her association with the industry and her ef- forts. I am about to. retire from Dairy Princess life. In a few week, I hope to attend Tor- onto Teachers’ College. Al- though my reign ends at the next Richmond Hill Fair, my work will continue for I am proud of that heritage. At the C.N.E., I entered the from 2:00 to 5:00 pm. on As we have so often taken pride and pleasure from asso- ciation with Dr. Armltage of St. Stephen‘s Anglican Church, and Mrs. Armltage, whether in community, social or church work, we appreciate the pride Mrs. Smythe and all Maple feels in having the Armitage family representing Maple â€"- and us -â€" on the many varied occasions when, in like mann- er, Dr. Armitage has been so honored.
