If you mis- sed out last week, here's your chance. With the response so far in the 14â€"16 age group, it’s hoped= a league may be formed for them now and in time have an all-star O.M.H.A. league to play ‘other such teams throughout Vaughan Township.

Good News Youngsters attending George Bailey Public School, especially last year’s grade '7 pupils now in grade 8, have found occasion for smiles and happiness even at school! Reason for such good feeling is that their teacher, Mr. Mer- rill McPhail, is now out of hos- pital. He had been taken back to the Ross Memorial Hospital, Lindsay, from Toronto General, and is now home with his par- ents, Rev. A. G. Mchail and, Mrs McPhail, of Lindsay. His wife, Donna, is still inI Lindsay hospital but progress- ' ing favourably. The class of grade 8 tOOkl time out at school to each write a letter to Mr. McPhail, to say hello and wish him a speedy recovery and a not-too-distant- return to George Bailey.

Whole gardens and fruit trees. into which people have poured consider- able time and money have been wrecked by these unfortunate souls who do not seem to know any better. One man was growing pumpâ€" kins for church harvest festi- vals: these were smashed. Another avid horticulturalist had prize squash and other vee- etables ruined. and an apple and pear tree stripped of fruit. Possibly the police warning will suffice to convince these energetic kiddies to turn their talents elsewhere, This not just a boyish prank: it's sheer is from the barn of Charles Mont- ping her a card to let her know vandalism and wanton destruc- ‘gomery, near Muselman‘s Lake. we are thinking about her. a a ltion. lexccutive as follows: 1 l Past-President Berit P1unk-[ llancer Children Raise $8.22 For Joslin Fund Last year. a group of child ren from Lancer Drive in Map- le held a show to raise mone_ for Red Cross assistance to families following the August 4 propane blast.
