They flew from San Fran- cisco to Vancouver. where they were joined by Karen and Drew who had flown out from home to meet their parents. They visited with friends, toured the cities of: Vancouver and Victoria and were very impressed with the Queen Elizabeth Garden in Vancouver and the Butch- art Gardens in Victoria. In Vancouver the Mar- shalls rented a car and drove through the mountains to Calgary. The turbulent and high-flowing rivers of BC. made the rivers of Ontario seem very “meek and mild". They were fasci- nated by the everchanging scenery from the Rockies to the foothills and then into the prairies, and the chil- dren were astonished to note how many and how far people travel, checking 1i- cence plates from all over the continent. Mr. and Mrs. Marshall took off June 30 to attend the week-long Lions Inter- national Convention in San Francisco. While there they took advantage of the op- portunity to tour through the redwood forests of Ca- lifornia, a fascinating ex- perience for them. Mr. and Mrs. Grant Mar- shall, Karen and Drew 0f Yonge Street North return- ed last week from a most interesting and enjoyable vacation trip to the West Coast. They spent only a day in Calgary where the weather was clear 'and they could see the snowcapped peaks of the distant mountains rising over the rolling prairie. While the folks back home were sweltering though a heatâ€"wave, the Marshalls found the west rather cool and wet, but they were as- sured that the weather was unusual for the time of year, that they usually have much warmer weather in summer. a most enjoyable one. They are now considering a return trip. driving next time from east to west. It was the family's first trip to the Pacific coast. and Corporal Edward Miller, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Miller, South Taylor Mills Drive, Richmond Hill, recently received his wings at the Canadian Armed Forces Base, Greenwood, Nova Scotia.

In a story in the July 10 issue of "The Liberal" an- nouncing the retirement of Dr. Phillip Macfarlane from the practice of dentistry in the Hill, Dr. Macfarlane was described as “son of a pilot". We now learn that his fa- ther, Robert L. Macfarlane, was not a pilot. but a teacher of aircraft mechanics and machine shop at Central Technical School in Toronto. Mr. Macfarlane and his fa- mily lived for years on Concession 7 in Vaughan south of Maple Sideroad, and following his retirement he served as a substitute teacher at Richmond Hill and Woodbridge High Schools and at Brampton.
