Lavina and Berton Fallows had come from Barrie to spend Christmas with Mrs. Fallow’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. DeJong, Garden Avenue, Richvale. They brought their three children with them. Charlene, 6, Jeffery, 5, and Christine, 15 months. The fourth was expected about a week later, but Mrs. Fallow’s doctor had assured her it was safe to travel. The family dinner had to be postponed. however. At 5 pm Mrs. Fallows announced that she had to get to a hospital â€" fast. Mrs. DeJong called the family physician, Dr. Paul Newbigging, and at 6 pm Caroline Jean, six pounds 15 ounces, was born in York Central Hospital . . . the sixth grandchild for the DeJongs. All three of the couple’s daughters were home for Christmas â€" Gail and her husband, Kenneth Scru‘on from Beaverton, and Patricia and her husband, Bob Cook of Thornhxll and their two children. Rounding out the group was their son, John DeJong, 14. When the flurry of excite- ment had subsided and everyone was assured that mother and baby were doing well, the Christmas dinner went on. The picture of mother and baby above was taken December 28 in the hospital. Caroline Jean was the hospital’s only Christmas baby. 17 21 23 Two' Richmond Hill Girls In International Exchange Dates T 0 Remember Mont/1 0f January BARBARA GETZ To Gambia-Senegal v 1 Richmond Hill Council 7:30 pm Richmond Hill Planning Committee 7 pm South Yonge Corridor Study Richmond Hill Council 2:30 pm Richmond Hill Planning Committee 7 pm Hearing on extension of Sussex Avenue 8 pm South Yonge Corridor Study C Library g ifig, L4G 4A1 Christmas Baby not on academic standing, both girls are grade 13 grad- uates, Barbara from Bayview Secondary in Richmond Hill, and Marilyn from Barrie High School.

Other partici- pating countries are Fiji, Cameroons, Tunisia. Mexico. Costa Rica, Honduras and Yugoslavia. The idea for Canada World Youth was born in Quebec in 1971. Nelson Wright. assist- ant regional co-ordinator for Ontario, told “The Liberal". Their concern was with form- ing some sort of project that would acquaint youth with life styles in other parts of Canada as well as with other countries. The first program was launched in 1972 with young people from Canada working on exchange programs with their counterparts in five other countries. In the Cape- dian phase of the program, our young people work side by side with teams of ten from the exchange countries, so Barbara’s group totalled 22â€"ten young Canadians and 10 Africans plus a leader from each country. Marilyn’s group was on its own. since Malaysia is willing Deputy Police Chief Rob- ert Hood said that both New Year’s Eve and the day itself were relatively quiet, with nothing to indi- cate anything out of the way had taken place in the way of criminal activity.

The CWY format is estab- lished by an independent board of directors. but finan- cing comes from the Federal Secretary of State‘s Depart- ment, which pays for travel and living expenses and pro- vides participants -with a small amount of spending money. The young people who are accepted for the program are expected to pro- vide services both at home and abroad that will justify the cost. All applicants are interviewed and tested to establish emotional and phys- ical fitness for the jobs that they will be taking. For Barbara and Marilyn their program began in August with a period of orientation in New Bruns- wick which lasted for more than a month. The young people frqm Newfoundland to British Columbia live and work .together, and teams are made up of representa- tives from many provincs. Most of the CWY partici- pants live in homes in the host community, and some of the exchange group decided to spend Christmas in Ca- nada, returning to their own countries on Boxing Day in time to prepare for the ar- rival of their Canadian guests later this month or early in January.

As has been the practise in the past year, the first council meeting in a month will be held in: the evening at 7:30 pm and the second in the afternoon at 2:30 pm.

There were also a few minor breakâ€"ins, but the overall picture was sub- dued and compared favor- ably with last year’s, the deputy said. The phoney $50 is still turning up in Ontario. but there has been a drop in York Region of late. However, the area isn’t completely free of counter- feits. Last week, Teller Carol Parnham. of the Royal Bank of Canada, 31 Yonge Street, Richmond Hill, discovered a counter- feit $10 American bill in a deposit from Woodbine Trucking Company, RR 2, Gormley. The company is check- ing the origin. Meanwhile, back in the province. bolice say that at least $200,000 worth of excellent quality false $505 have turned up in the past have turned up in the six months. The region has had its share, but they have all but disappeared of late. The reason for the pop- ularity of the $505 among counterfeiters, apparently, is that they are much eas- ier to duplicate than the new style $5, $10 and $20 bills. Much of it is because many firms are refusing to accept any bills over $20. And in Toronto, for example, none of Metro’s 17 Odeon theatres will accept a $50.

Marilyn then plans to go on with her formal educa- tion. Her first choice â€" jour- nalism. For Barbara living with a family in Quebec and work- ing in line community day nursery was a rewarding ex- perience.

He also pointed out that some members of council may have run for the office believing that m e e t i n g s would continue to be held in the evenings. meetings as of the first of the year, at the December 17 session of council. MARILYN HOOK “I havehattempted to come to a com‘ mmise with Coun- cillor C _ teauvert to start the afternoon meetings at 4 pm." stated May-or William Lazenby. “I would prefer being able to spend some evenings at home with my family. An afternoon meet- ing gives our staff as well as ourselves a night off." “I would be in favor of all afternoon meetings,” said Regional Councillor Gomdon Rowe. “I don’t think we should be doing multi-mill-ion dollar business at midnight," stated Ward 4 Councillor David Stephenson. “It is more im- portant we make intelligent decisions than provide emer- ta-inment for large crowds." llllllill“llllllllllllllllllllllmiillllllllllill\lllilllllllllllllllllllllll Off To Malaysia Mr. Honsberger said he felt the two groups would be able to come to an agreement with the extra month to work in.

Negotiating teams from York County Board of Education and Ontario Secondary School Teach- ers’ Federation will meet with provincially-appointed mediator, Terry Mancini; this Friday in Toronto. ,John Honsberger. chair- man of the trustee’s neg- otiating committee. said he hoped the meeting with Mr. Mancini and one-month postponement of the teachers‘ resigna- tions would help bring about a settlement to the present contract dispute. The teachers recently agreed to postpone their resignations a month until January 31 if the govern- ment would delay its bill making their resignations illegal. Neggiator To Mew, Teacher's Emma - - .

Oshawa Wins Peewee Tourney The Lions, under Coach Gary Smith, opened the tournament on a losing note to the powerful Oshawa team by a 5-2 score, went on to edge Mississauga 4-3 be- fore meeting Thunder Bay. HILL HELD LEAD That Thunder Bay game saw the locals stir the home fans as Jeff Joslin scored the first of his two goals of the game early in the second period to give Richmond Hill a short-lived 1-0 lead. Dean Logan and James Majâ€" ury received assists on the play. Thunder Bay came back on a goal by Peter Dean at 6:11. By FRED SIMPSON Everyone was thirsting for an upset at the third annual Richmond Hill Rosetown Invita- tional Peewee Tournament on the weekend. But it just wasn’t to be, - . 1 . Everything pretty much went according to the books as a powerful Oshawa team dispatched a game but outmanned Markham crew by 5-3 in the “A” championship. It was much the same story in the “B” brac- ket as a big Thunder Bay crew had too much going for it as they downed Welland by 4-1. Thunder Bay’s only loss of the tournament came at the hands of Peterboro by 3â€"1. Enroute to the “B” laurels Thunder Bay had too much finishing power for a game, but mainly smaller Richmond Hill Lions team who fell by 4-2. It was this win that put Thunder Bay into the finals and left Richmond Hill out in the cold. people at home rather than in institutions. She also worked in a centre for han- dicapped people and in a day nursery, working side- by-side with her team-mates from Africa. Barbara has no definite plans for next year. “I might go to university, but I think I will have a better idea of what I want to do when this year is over." Group leaders are care- fully selected, s ays Mr. Wright. They must have had experience in group living, international programs, etc. Many have been leaders with the YMCA or YWCA. The work projects. says Mr. Wright, are used as a means of giving the pattie- ipating youth an opportunity to meet and understand peo- ple of different cultures â€" even Canadians in Canada learn about regional differ- ences and benefit from ex- posure to different lang- uages. The two-week de-briefing period at the end of the pro- gram provides feed-back for the directors as participants, leaders, and the communi- ties they have worked in report on the working and learning experiences in the various countries, communi- ties and projects. The Ontario Regional Of- fice of Canada World Youth is at 280 Bloor Street West, Suite 301, Toronto. and the telephone number is 922- 0776. HOME PAPER OF THE DISTRICT SINCE 1878 Mark Backor made it 2-1 for Thunder Bay in the third period on a good shot and Gary Powshik broke the Lions’ back with a goal with 3:50 left in the period. HILL GOALIE PULLED Joslin gave it the big ef- fort and got one in to make it 3â€"2 but Thunder Bay managed their final score on an empty Richmond Hill net as Coach Smith opted to take Goalie Ted Inch out for a sixth attacker. The goal went to Powshik again. llllllllll“ll“llllllllull“llll\“lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll Pictures of last week- ends Richmond Hill Leg- ion Midget exciting tie game with Sweden’s visit- ing Hammarby Midgets appear on Page 3 of this edition while the story of the game appears on sports page 11 at the front of the second section. fllllllllll“llllllllllllll“\lllllllllllllllllll“\“lllllllllllllllllllllllll‘ Inch, incidentally, replac- ed Starter Richard Warren who played a great game until being injured and kept the Lions in there most of the way.

Mike Lostracco scored the lone Welland goal. mm mule-fl "III: mm» LOSER. «mono mu u] The big winner of the three-day tournament was a powerful Oshawa Club that swept to win by 5-2 over Richmond Hill, 6-0 over Oak Ridges, and 5-1 over Peterhoro before tak- ing Markham 5-3 in the finals. The dogged Markham squad drew applause from those in attendance as they rallied after falling be- hind 3-0 on goals by Enzo Angimeri, Grove Sutton and Derek Keenan. Goals by Billy Zacharuk and David Nichol made it 3-2 going into the third and Markham tied it on Nichol’s second goal. LAST BACKHAND GOAL But it was all over with 3:47 left when Oshawa‘s Grove Sutton carried right in to the corner, carried right out, and flipped a back- hander home. Kevin Sin- clair finished it with a final goal with less than two min- utes remaining. The H. J. Mills Trophy went to the winners. Both the winners and run- ners-up in both categories received tournament pins as presented by Mayor William Lazenby and Richmond Hill Lions President Ev Baker. Richmond Hill’s only Win of the tournament was an excellent 4-3 defeat of M15- sissauga with Joslin, Danny Smith, Thomas Reaume and Richard Hughes scoring. OAK RIDGES WINS Oak Ridges Peewees won an exciting 2-1 game over Mississauga in overtime but fell by 6-0 to Oshawa and were out of_ it.
