I couldn’t cope with a five day, nine to five routine unless it was deemed entirely necessary, and yet I find the need (purely self-gratifying) every so often to go after a part time job of artistic nature no matter how small the renumeration. In Pursuit of the Creative Over a period of some 20 years, I have searched for the niche which best suits my ar- tistic temperament, and this so touched on several short-lived vocations. Apart from the four years I spent at the Bell Tele- phone I haven’t gone after a full time job for several rea- sons, primarily laziness. I’ve always been handy with a paint brush (to a limited de- gree) and with a “nothing ven- tured. nothing gained" bravado. I answered an ad placed by a large jewellery firm looking for a woman to design and hand decorate earrings. Not once during the long trip to the city did I consider my limits or even feel the urge to turn around and head home, I was confident and loaded for bear! After a five minute interview, I was handed four dozen pairs of plain earrings of various sizes and colors and instructed to decorate them using my own lll\lllllllllllllll\llll“Illllllll“ll“lllll!“llll\“lllllllllllllll\lll\l\ll\lll\ll Arena Dance Nets $800. nuuuuumuuuumlu“lumuuummuuunmuuuuumuumu1w Heating And Rink Expenses Raise Centennial Centre's Mini-Budget A "mini-budget" was pre~l Sented to Whitchurch Township Council by Kim Rogers on be- half of the Centennial Recrea- tion Centre, Ballantrae at the January 23 meeting. Mr. Rog- ers. who designed and super- vised construction of the centre, appealed for $3,628 to cover operating costs and some capi- tal expenditure until the regu- lar 1968 budget is submitted in March. Council learned that the win- ter months involve the greatest costs for the centre. Mr. Rogers stated that the previous council had not provided enough money to operate the two skating rinks nor to cover heating costs in the centre which was officially opened September 16 of last year. Mr. Rogers also proposed that extra lights, heating ducts, lockers and benches be installed in the centre. He indicated that the centre is being used con- stantly and that money is being received from dances held in the building. Councillor Robert Lewis not- ed that the centre was created by the municipality and that council must take the responsi- bility of its operation. A reso- lution by Deputy-reeve Law- rence Hennessey was passed by council giving the centre the sum which will be made in three instalments before the budget. Members of the Oak Ridges New Arena Building Committee are still forging ahead toward their goal although the going has been slowed by one unex- pected drawback. That’s the latest word from President Gordon Achilles of Oak Ridges. The most recent advance came with the annual New Year’s Dance, as sponsored jointly by the arena com- mittee and Our Lady of An- nunciatlon ~Guild Ladies, which netted some $800. ed that the centre was created by the municipality and that council must take the responsi- bility of its operation. A reso- lution by Deputy-reeve Law- rence Hennessey was passed by council giving the centre the sum which will be made in three instalments before the budget. Council also agreed to a pro- posal of Police Chief Fred Mason that Corporal Donald Hillock be allowed to attend an identification course at the Provincial Police Headquarters from February 26 â€" April 11. This program is to upgrade in- vestigation techniques in fin- Council voted to appoint Wil- liam Ash, RRI Gormley, as weed inspector for the 1968 term. Mr. Ash served as weed inspector last year.

The committee has cur- rently netted some $14,000 in its campaign to reach the desired amount of $150,000 but that's where the unex- pected drawback came in. "We had a crash plan of three years for the new arena,“ said Mr. Achilles. "but this was held up when the Ontario Securities Commission forbade us to sell any more shares until we had found a site for the building. The shares al- ready sold are being held in trust until we find a locale and then we’ll be able to get rolling again.” Mr. Achilles said the committee is still looking for a site and hopes to find one in the near future.

City The owner of the business was equally pleased with my work and praised my original sense of design, and thanked me. That’s all there was to it, just a “thank you” and “when we decide to introduce a hand- decorated line we will call you". I was too stunned to protest or ask payment for my time, paint. gas, or designs and left there somewhat disenchanted, and only when I reached home did I blow my cork. This episode happened some eight years ago, but rather than discourage me, it has taught me the invaluable lesson of looking before leaping. recognizing a legitimate business offer to that of the con artist, and having enough sense to discuss my ment before accepting. a fast tour of the immense fac- tory, and sent home on winged feet. For two days I created, not only during the normal day but during my sleep as Well. and by the third morning I had completed forty-eight different and quite exquisite designs. I have done everything from painting liquor bottles, to‘ flower arranging, and even fillJ ed in as a summer replacement at a local radio station, writing commercials for various and sundry car, appliance and lum- ber dealers. Great fun and mar- vellous experience. This latter stint led me to writing this col- umn. and while it is supposed to pertain to the news of King, the editor has been most gen- erous in printing the anecdotes that I submit along with the news . . . and here is the per- fect lead-in for same. Cancer Society design and imagination, given With April 1 slated as the kick-off for the 1968 campaign, the recent seminar held on Jan-j uary 13 and 14th at the West- bury Hotel, Toronto for all On- tario branch canvassers and publicity convenors, gave all in attendance 3 better insight of their role in the society and the added inspiration to get the job done. Between 350 and 400 women attended including Mrs. J. F. Wilson, campaign convenor and Mrs. J. A. Hurlburt, publicity cdnvenor from the King City branch. National Chairman Joe Clapinson. Campaign Chairman (Ontario Division) Joseph Whit- more, and the Hon. J. Keiller MacKay in his role of honorary president of the Ontario Divi- sion, were on hand to greet the delegates and following dinner, entertained by Vocalist Joyce Sullivan and Gordie Tapp. Sunday was spent viewing films and gathering valuable in- formation and foresight in the fight against cancer. with an address given by Dr. Robert Noble of the University of British Columbia who is the research unit director of the society. At the final luncheon on Sunday, an address was given by Provincial Secretary Robert Welsh who represents St. Catharines in the Legisla- ture. Councillor Betty Van Nostrand‘ made a resolution endorsing the city of Woodstock study of voter registration. Woodstock's proposals are aimed at improv- ing the system of listing eligible voters' names and reducing the complaints of voters who are overlooked when voters’ lists are printed. lllll\llllllll\\l\lll\\l\llllllullllm“\lllll“ll“l\\ll\l\\l\1l\\\\\lll\\\\\ll\\l\l ““1““!ll!llllll\“l“llllllflllllllllllll‘llll\ll\llll\lll\llllllll\ll““1““1“ On the suggestion of Councillor Barnard, notices will be placed in the local press asking residents to put forward names for the Centennial Medal award. Two living township resi- dents are eligible for the medal awarded by the fed- eral government for ser- vices to the nation. Suggestions should be re- ceived at the Township of- fices by February 12 and the two names selected will be forwarded to Secretary of State Judy LaMarsh in Ottawa. On the heels of this seminar. the King branch will hold their education night at the home of Mrs. Al Henderson February 5 and for this particular evening, husbands of members are DAR- ED to attend. This will give the male of the species an oppor- tunity to see what the girls do when they get together, and a film of lungs (healt y and otherwise) will be show in liv- ing color. Seriously, gentlemen. your wives would deem it an honor if you would further en- courage their interests by at- tending, so keep next Monday evening open. Bob Paul Off to Europe In the wee hours of the morn- ing of‘January 23, Mr. and Mrs. Greg Paul. 121 Humber were awakened by the phone‘s per- sistent ringing, and primary annoyance turned to humor when it was discovered that the four am caller was Greg’s brother Bob calling from the Manhattan apartment of Joan’s brother, Doug Mowat. You will remember that Bob Paul won the Olympic Cham- pionship when paired with Barbara Wagner in 1960-61, and in his present capacity of coach to another young pair of figure skating hopefuls will ac- company them to Grenoble, France for the Winter Olympics‘ and then the world champion-i ships. Bob ’phoned to say fare- well as he has decided to take up permanent residence in Europe, a decision that makes bachelorhood most attractive. Stan and Muriel Roots . . . Happy 25th Because I am an incurable romantic, it always pleases me when I hear that someone has reached the silver anniversary level of life and are looking forward to the many more to follow, with the same enthusi- asm and devotion that brought them this far. For Stan and Muriel Roots it was an occasion for renewing treasured friendships as friends and former neighbors met at the Roots’ home on January 13 to talk over old times and toast the happy couple. Mavis Bur- wick of King City, did a most delightful job of catering for the occasion, the table tastefully decorated and laden with culin- ary masterpieces. In addition to many lovely floral arrangements and gifts, Muriel Roots was the thrilled recipient of a handsome stereo, a gift from hubby Stan. I would like to add my personal con- gratulations and wishes for con- tinued happiness, Hockey Results Tykes Flyers 4 Sputniks 0 The high-flying Flyers came out the decisive winners in this contest when they blanked the Sputniks 4-0. Salmon scored a pair of goals, while McKechnie and Fawns netted a goal a- piece. Dave Pollock earned an assist. Jets 1 Rockets 0 A single goal by Bruce. Hee- nan made all the difference for the Jets as they kept the Jet team off the score sheet. Intermediates Hershey 6 Buffalo 3 The action was hot and heavy with Reid Lawson getting three of Hershey’s goals as well as two assists. Bob Seymour found the target twice Doug Cook earned a single and other assists went to Ben Hawkins, Phil Styffe and Harold Wood. Mar- tin Fox was the lone marksman for Buffalo. Rochester 4, Quebec 1 A slightly one-sided battle with Rochester goals scored by Stern, Manson and Gellany. Gellany netted two and earned an assist while Manson assisted on another counter.

Bala's “Red Shed” Changes Hands "The Liberal” is always pleased to publish items of interest regarding people and events in the Oak Ridges - Lake Wilcox and King City districts. Our news corres- pondent in Oak Ridges - Lake Wilcox is Mrs. Lillian Atcheson, Wildwood Avenue, 773-5479, in King City Mrs. Theo Dawson, 773-5448. While you hear of the chosen few that are born with so-called silver spoons in their mouths} in the case of Mrs. Ruby Hartl the spoon was probably early‘ Canadian pine, and her know- ledge and know-how of antiques and interior design, has led to the purchase of the well known “Red Shed” antiquery in Bala. The former owners. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Fraser, also of King are disposing of their properties and will be making the move to the west coast this summer. Ruby Hart is going to make a tremendous success of this en- terprise. The thought of getting start- ed is not all consuming, as Mrs. Hart will be the convenor for the up-coming annual antique show in support of York Cen- tral Hospital. to be held in Richmond Hill this coming spring. Cub News Nothing like reading news that is a month old. but here goes anyhow. . . .'The Seeonee Pack with the lst King Scouts enjoyed a combined Christmas Party on December 20, and it is reported that each boy re- ceived a gift as well as a king size share of refreshments con- sisting of mountains of sand- wiches, gooey cakes and hot chocolate. In a more up to date vein, I hope that the parents of some twenty boys will make an appearance at the investiture being held February 6. These boys will be joining the See- onee Pack and there’s nothing in the world that can beat par- ental interest as far as a young man is concerned. Lions Annual Oyster Supper If it is the success it has been other years, be advised that tickets for the Lions Oyster Supper being held on February 20 are now on sale and will be a scarce item with a week. In addition to the traditional oyster stew, there will be well loaded salad plates, crispy rolls. various pies and tarts, coffee and tea with second help- ings anticipated in the dessert department. Plan to get your tickets as early as possible from any Lions member and start build- ing up a terrific hunger. Smaller portions will be pre- pared for the , small-fry and their tickets may be purchased at the door, but in the case of adults there will be no tickets available that evening. This has become such a well attend- ed affair that around thirty people from the city make the yearly trek to King just for the fabulous oyster dish. Adfilts $2.50 a person and children under 12, $1.00. See you there!! Whitchurch Gun Fees Goes Aid Conservation Several years ago several townships in southwestern On» tario became “regulated town- ships” under the Ontario Game and Fish Act. In each township 3 special licence was reQuired for a person to hunt pheasants, rabbits or foxes. besides the $1 “Resident of Ontario” hunting licence. The plan has two objectives: to limit the number of hunters in highly populated townships, and to improve conservation, using the revenue from the sale of township licences. Some townships simply absorb this revenue into general funds. In Whitchurch, however, an agreement was made between township officials and the Whitâ€" church Conservation Club at Vandorf. The club sells the licences and uses the revenue for conservation. These projects include raising and releasing‘ ringâ€"necked pheasants to im- prove hunting, paying deputy conservation officers who are members of the club, bursaries to students going lnto conserva- tion fields, educational films for school age children, refore- station, a hunter safety training lprogram and many others. The township and club have been commended for this pro- gram by District Forester A. W. Leman, Department of Lands and Forests. KNOW WHAT HE’S TALKING ABOUT?

The novice team defeated Bolton 3-2 at Bolton. Goals were scored by Richard Green assisted by Mike Green, Green assisted by Allan Heintzman, and Heintzman assisted by Green. The peewees defeated Union- ville 5-0 with marksmen being Paul Madaleno and Ricki Hear- sum with two each, and Mike Judge. Assists went to Hear- sum, Dave Stewart, Alex Kid- die, Jim Roffe. The resignation of David “Pete" Glass as fire chief of the King City Volunteer Fire Department has been accepted by the village trusâ€" tees with regret. The resig- nation, to take effect im- mediately, has been prompt- ed by demands of his busi- ness, it was reported at the January 22 meeting of the village trustees. Mr. Glass is now manager of the Canad- ian Building Materials Redi« Mix Concrete plant in Bow- manville. Mr. Glass has spent 12 years with the volunteer firefighters and helped in founding the brigade in 1955 and in raising it to a high degree of efficiency. Chairman Peter Williams reported that Deputy-Chief Harold Kirby feels that with pressure of his business it would be difficult to assume the chief’s duties. However, as deputy-chief he will carry out the duties of chief until a permanent appointment can be made. “The fire de- partment will continue to be run just as well and effi- ciently as it has been in the past under Mr. Glass," he said. ’ Mr. Williams said the matter had been discussed thoroughly with the fire de- partment, which will con- tinue to function normally. FALSE ALARMS A letter to Councillor Cyril Flinders head of King Township Council’s Fire Committee was approved, which asked him to investi< gate the number of false fire alarms being received in King City. Under the present setup fire calls are handled by the township police, who push a button which acti- vates the siren on the King City Fire Hall. The first fire- men on the scene contacts the police by radio to learn the location of the fire. At 11:30 pm January 7, the siren sounded, but when the township police dispatcher was contacted he had no knowledge of a fire. It was later ascertained that there had been an alarm sounded at that hour in Aurora â€" but since that call would not have been handled at the township’s police station, the village fire department was at a loss to know how its siren was sounded. It was reported that on a previous occasion three or four false alarms had been received in one day, but this had been traced to water in the Bell Telephone cable. SPECIAL GARBAGE COLLECTION Trustee James Wilkins reâ€" ported that because of the heavy snowfall he had not been able to arrange for an after-Christmas special reâ€" fuse pickup. However, he reported the contractor had informed him that he would have any refuse, which would have been put out for the special pickup, collected on the regular garbage col- lection days. GRADE SEPARATION It was reported that appli- cations for the grade separa- tions on Keele Street and King Sideroad have gone to the Board of Transport Com- missioners in Ottawa for ap- proval. DRAINAGE PROBLEM Frank Egan, 16 Keele Street North, complained to council that his basement was being flooded by water from melting head - high banks of snow piled at the “four corners" by snow- plows. He described this as a recurrent problem over the past four or five years. “I can no longer afford a new furnace a year,” he stated. “I have a sump pump ade- quate for my needs. but not for draining the street.“ Mr. Egan reported the catch basin was completely buried in snow. which allowed the water to flow into his baseâ€" ment. It was agreed that King Road Superintendent Tom Arlidge be contacted to see if the snow can be removed from an area of about 225 feet, where it has been piled head-high. PARKS BOARD Trustee David Clark re- ported on a meeting of the parks board of which he is a member. He stated the board had about $1,600 on hand to complete further grading to control drainage. further seeding and fertilizing. An- other sum of $4,000 made available by King City Lions is to provide picnic tables. washrooms, a picnic shelter and a children‘s playground, he said. The old ball park will con- tinue to be used this sum- mer to give the seeded areas a chance to become estab- lished, Mr. Clark noted. The board is concerned about the increased cost of maintenance of the 13.7 acres of parkland acquired in 1967. The present equip- ment is not sufficient to maintain the increased grass area, and it was decided to get a price on a farm trac- tor. A fence will also be required to keep the cars off the seeded area, he said. It was estimated that about $2,000 would be need- ed in 1968 for maintenance and equipment, and it was suggested that the village trustees provide this amount out of the tax levy. “While I wouldn't be ad- verse to raising the $2,000 in taxes, I wouldn't want it tied to a particular purpose. It would be a mill or about $4 to $5 on an average house. We could set a precedent and future trustees would find themselves tied to proâ€" viding the same amount or more every year,” said Chairman Williams. Trustee Clark agreed and felt this would take away the personal initiative which led to acquiring the park and adding improvements. “The tax levy would be too simple. with somebody else carrying the bucket. I agree we should not make a preced- ent," he said. Trustees will consider the request.

This game is not a real indication of what these young lads can do. These were the last of the scheduled games. Scout and Cub Auxiliary The ladies auxiliary for Scouts and Cubs met January 18 and report 17 paid-up mema bers. A father and son banquet was planned for February 22.

Eight ladies met at the home of Mrs. Doris Smith last Wed- nesday afternoon and made 48 placemats with a Valentine theme and several small decor- ated doilies for glasses. These are for patients at the Princess Margaret Hospital. Mr. Glass has spent 12 years with the volunteer firefighters and helped in founding the brigade in 1955 and in raising it to a high degree of efficiency.

The present equip- ment is not sufficient to maintain the increased grass area. and it was decided to get a price on a farm tracâ€" tor. A fence will also be required to keep the cars off the seeded area, he said. It was estimated that about $2,000 would be need- ed in 1968 for maintenance and equipment, and it was suggested that the village trustees provide this amount out of the tax levy. “While I wouldn't be adâ€" verse to raising the $2,000 in taxes. I wouldn‘t want it tied to a particular purpose. It would be a mill or about $4 to $5 on an average house.
