How high would your giving go to foot that bill?” By MONA ROBERTSON Director of Publicity It was April 1956 when we wrote in “The Liberal” as follows: “If someone offered you a ticket ‘of chance’ with possible hope of your winning security for the rest of your life, would you snap up the ticket regardless of the cash outlay involved? Chances are 10 'to 1 you would! It’s human nature for most of us to buy up these ‘dreams’ and even if we never win anything this way we still keep on buying, hoping for an easy Win. A most interesting exhibit in the Canadian coin group was the large cent display, with coins dating back to the First Province of Canada coinage in 1858. Dominion of Canada issues with reigning monarchs began in 1870, and ended with the George 5th 1920 issue when the large cent was discontinued. Looking for varieties in everyday coinage is one of the many tributaries off the mainstream of coin collecting. The Canadian Numismatic Variety Collectors Association makes a study of these errors by examining thirty-five points in the date, initials, letters and numerals. President of the club Ron Bennett says “The highlight of the annual show is the auction. Every- one gets into the spirit of it, and the event has a good, lusty, rural sound to it. The coins are all on display for examination, and without necessarily spending a lot of money, a beginner can have as much fun as an experienced collector.” The best of shéw awéfd- fits prééénted to James Bowdery and his son Peter of Richmond Hill. Last Saturday the coin club was out in full force for its fourth annual coin show at the Lions Hall. This event lasted all day and attracted many visitors as well as local numismatists. 0n the stage, the trophies were impressive with the much coveted Best of Show Award standing majestically in the centre. The diSpl'ays filled the entire hall and were divided into seven categories: foreign coins, Can- adian coins, tokens, medals, Canadian decimal, paper currency and juniors. Not only is it inexpensive, with a two dollar membership for adults and one dollar for children, but there is the added fillip of possibly making money if you study the weekly newspaper Coin World, and do your homework. If you are looking for a family hobby that is available to those between the ages of eight and Eighty. you should investigate the Richmond Hill Coin Club. There will be no charge for the performance, but a collection taken during the service will go into a fund for the St. Matthew’s Players’ future pro- ductions. (Continued from Page 2) Plume, Lily Martin, Bev MacDonald, Dawson Lang, Lloyd Linderman, Russ Urquhart, and Neil Crowe are also in the cast. In The Spotlight Month Of Hope And Daffodils Remember our slogan, “Fight Cancer â€"â€" with a check-up and a cheque." ONE of the 100,000 Canadian volunteer canvassers will call on YOU sometime this month. Please give your canvassing neighbor the aid and encour- agement he or she needs. Because, the life you save may be your own. It doesn’t require SKILL to answer that question in the right way. Just HEART. You see, since 1935, when the Can- adian Cancer Society became a part of the National Cancer Soc- iety with its varied research and medical program, Life and freedom from fear of cancer has benefited approximately 200,000 known persons. And that knowledge should bring a warm glow to the heart of all; those who have put their dollars} to work in cancer research and; education over the years and who are continuing to sup- port the cancer campaign today., And that's why we are going to put the question to YOU. again . . . (think about it: time’s up only when you hear the vol» unteer canvasser from the Can- adian Cancer Society ringing your doorbell) . . . which prize comes first with you? The mes- sage of Hope, or the ticket of chance? a rise in taxes this year. It's a kind of share-the-debt for those who like to take a chance. ‘ On April 2, Mayor Jean Drapeau of Montreal announc- ed the initiation (in May) of Canada’s first municipal lottery. He promised that 151 winners (who can correctly answer cer- tain questions of skill), will share in about $150,000 monthly. Thlis "legalized" lottery will,! he believes, make it possible for the people of Montreal to avoid ‘ Last week. the Canadian Can- icer Society commenced its an- ‘nual drive for funds. Canada’s objective for 1968 is $3 million dollars, to be collected by April 30. Of this amount, Richmond Hill and District Unit, the area in which YOU live, must raise $27,500. NEED GOOD WORKERS? GET ’EM FAST BY USING LIBERAL CLASSIFIEDS FIGHT CANCER The biggest headache and problem of the assoc- iation comes from the fact that the Department of Education does not recognize the accordion at the grade eight level. Mr. Edmundssays it’s a slow process but he’s confident that the recognition will come eventually. In the meantime more and more of these accomplished youngsters are being turned out yearly by some very fine accordion studios. If their numâ€" ber increases and their artistry continues to improve, the Royal Conservatory may have to sit up and take notice and so will the Department of Education. The association has a Canadian charter with branches in Montreal, Quebec and Winnipeg. The home base is Toronto. There are 285 teachers in the association, registered under four categories. The student teacher, 17 years and under who is under the wing of a qualified principal; the associate mem- ber, 18 years and over with two years' teaching experience and qualified with grade two theory from a recognized school; the associate member is not qualified to be an active member. The active member has a grade eight standing and grade two theory. The accredited member has five years’ teaching experience, grade 10 standing and five grades of theory from a recognized school. Helen Milne said that these aims have been accomplished. Examinations were instituted in 1956. The standard of teaching has steadily im- proved over a period of 15 years. Ontario has a high average of good accordion teachers and students. Sudbury won the world championship four years ago. The standards are parallel to piano teaching. These three men began the association for the purpose of gathering together the accordion teachers of Canada, introducing them to each other and promoting harmonious relations among them. An- other aim was to draw up a code of ethics and raise the level of accordion artistry everywhere. It was started in 1952 by Dixie Dean, Gus Mauro and Eric Mundinger. Eric Mundinger is the man behind Mundinger Music Centre in Richmond Hill I could go on and on talking about solos, duets, quintets, octettes performed by all ages of accordion students from eight to 18 but I couldn’t do justice to them. I’d like to mention the contribution of Thornhill’s Debbie Spires. She was the only one from this district, and she played the “Cat and Mouse” from Camilleri in the 11 and under compe- tition. She has been a student of the National Con- servatory at Willowdale for the past four years. I talked with Helen Milne, of the Milne Accord‘ ionSchool in Hamilton. She is a well known ar- ranger of accordion music and the chairman of examinations for the Accordion Teachers’ Associa- tion. She volunteered a brief history of the associa- tion. In 1805 the mm were put up for sale to pay Berczy‘s debts. and changed hands several times before becoming derelict. I tried to hear as many of the contestants as I could. It was surely rewarding to hear “Forest Glen” by Tschaikowsky being expertly played by an eight-year-old, and a free bass solo like “Dance of the Dwarfs” by Borgstrom from a 10-year old. They arrived at York in the early summer of 1794, and had to camp nearby for several months until the Township of Markham was surveyed. and land could be alloted on the concession lines. This delay meant another winter of dis- comfort with many families liv- ing in tents or in hastily con- trived shelters. Unfortunately the settlement at German Mills was not a success. Some of the‘ pioneers were unfitted for farming and moved away. some‘ had trouble obtaining their pat- ents. This amazing man travels constantly in the interests of the Canadian Bureau for the Advance- ment of Music. His name is known everywhere in Canadian musical circles. In April, Mr. Edmunds will be off to Victoria on his tireless mission of help- ing to bring music within the reach of as many people as possible. Simcoe responded by offering the whole of the still unsurveyed Township of Markham. 64,000 acres. plus a possible 9,000 1acres more if Berczy and his fol- lowers would settle near York where their labor. and skills would be useful. With financial backing provided by a company: of well to do American and Canadian citizens. Berczy and his party made another under cover departure. but were pur- sued for some distance by angry officials and members of the Pulteney Settlement. (Continued from Page 2) Mr. Edmunds is a member of the National Council of Canadian Music Educators; honorary vice-presi- dent of ORMTA (Ontario Registered Music Teachers’ Association); secretary-treasurer of CAMA (Canad- ian Amateur Musicians Association); the Canadian String Teachers’ Association and the Canadian Ac- cordion Teachers’ Association. He is an honorary life member and treasurer of the Canadian Band Masters’ Association. There were unforseen delays and emergencies during the long trek to the Genesee Valley. iBerczy had to borrow money for ‘food and other supplies. was thrmm into jail for debt. and \was constantly at loggerheads with company officials. When the weary colonists finally ar- rived at the Pulteney Settle- ment they learned that they ‘would be tenants instead of land owners. Simcoe was at that time advertising free 200 acre lots to settlers, so Berczy secret- ly applied for large grants be- tween Lake Erie and the Thames River.

Those who remained in Markham soon liv- ed down the label “deserters from the Genesee" and they and their descendents have proved excellent citizens. and the backbone of a prosperous and well run community. Back in York he became a contractor (one of several) and designed some of the better looking buildings and houses before moving to Montreal where he supported his family as a portrait painter. He died in New York. in 1813. leaving ‘twn unsolved mysteries. Why was the coffin which supposedly contained his body filled in- stead with siones? and what happened to his personal pap- ers. among them the Statistical 1Account of Canada which he had compiled and taken with him to the States? In 1818 Ber- czy's son was granted 2.400 acres of land in full settlement of all claims of his dead father against the government. So ends the story of an adventurous. and perhaps altruistic man who ex- pected to make a fortune, but instead incurred colossal debts. Before Simcoe left Upper Canada in 1796 he met with his executive council to review the grants of whole townships made to Berczy. and about a dozen other individuals. Some who had not fulfilled conditions were not given patents. but the axe did not fall on Berczy until the next year when Administra- tor Peter Russell learned from the British Ambassador in Phil- adelphia that Berczy was sus- pected of conniving with Aaron Burr and other American anti- monarchists who were unfriend- ly to Canada. Berczy took his case to England without success.
