Diane is well known in the Hill for her activities as an active member and for- mer secretary of the Rich- mond Hill Minor Softball League. and Bruce, a Rich- mond Hill Firefighter, has played for some time with the Industrial League in the Hill. Mrs. Thompson is a part-time employee of "The Liberal". This tragic event brought lo light an embarassment in the life of Bruce S. Thom- son, 347 Kerswell Drive, ow- ner of Thomson Offset Prin- ting and Duplicating Service on Markham Road. He is used to getting calls about baseball, and even cheques addressed to the league, but he was really shaken when he began receiving cards of condolence. He extends his sympathy to Mr. and Mrs. Thompson. and‘ hopes that they are not equally incon- venienced by receiving calls and correspondence that should be going to the Thomsons. Our most. sincere sym- pathy to Diane and Bruce Thompson, of 164_ Fark§ton Court on the sudden death of Mrs. Thompson's mother, Mrs. Ida May Wood of Schomberg, on November 1. 'Dhe funeral service took place in Tot'tenham Novem- ber 4 with interment at Newton Robinson Cemetery. Also surviving are Mrs. Thompson‘s husband. Cla- rence. and another dlaugh'ter. Marilyn, of Schomberg. ‘Honeymoon In Caribbean ‘A Caribbean honeymoon followed the wedding in Cobalt of Mary Margaret O'Flaherty, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Kevin O‘Flahm‘ty of Cobalt and David Ross Scrimger. son of Mr. and Mrs. Ross Scrimger of Richmond Hill.

Her lucky October Mother A cheque for $36 was a windfall for Mrs. Celes- tine Paxton, 54 Trench Street, Richmond Hill, who cashed her October family allowance cheque at Kresge’s in Richmond Heights Centre. Her cheque was for $12, and because her name was drawn in the store‘s October Triple Your Baby Bonus con- test, she received a cheque for $36.
