Travelways Buys Norton Bus Lines Travelways Ltd., with‘ head offices on Doncaster Avenue in South Thornhill, is continuing to grow as it announces purchase of the Norton Group of bus com- panies which includes six firms operating 500 buses for schools, charters, tour packages and transit services in the Toronto-Burlington- Hamilton area. The an- nouncement of purchase also said that this would add some $5-million to Travel- ways' annual reVenue. 'I‘ravelways operates local bus services in Richmond Hill and the Town of Mark- ham as well as being a com- ponent of the GO transit system from Richmond Hill to Metro. Besides this it has developed a large charter coach business and supplies school busing in York Re- gion. Formerly known as Trail- ways, it was begun less than two decades ago by Larry Needler to provide transportation in Newmarâ€" ket and fiom that area to downtown Toronto. L a t e r the firm moved its head- quarters to Richmond Hill and then, when it outgrew the facilities on Enford Road, moved to Thornhill. The name change came about in recent years.

Sports Any of the basketball re- sults handed into me by the coaches I have been glad to publish and congratulate the teams for doing so well in their first competitive sea- son. The results of the game I wrote up for last week appeared under the East Richvale column, by mis- take, and it is hoped space will be found for it this week on sports page. Since I have not had the results of the Maple game in time for this week's printing, please look for them next week â€" August 21.‘ Ever Since I wrote that piece about Richmond Hill’s “whites only” the majors have been plagued with bad luck! First we dropped a point to lowly Brampton and last week actually lost to (who else?) Richmond Hill who are even LOWLIER than Brampton. All the team was immaculately turned out in “whites only” but it didn’t help. We just didn't lose either â€" it was 5-1 â€"â€" but three of the matches we lost did go three sets. Jean Scott and Carol Coady won for Thornhill and. in fact, have yet to lose in team play this sea- son. But really if we had to give two points away it couldn’t have gone to a more deserving team! The C‘s almost surprised Mayfair Valley but lost 4-2.

Easy To Make Buddy Burner Outdoor Cooking A Breeze 1 BY MARGARET GOVAN It crossed my mind the other day that perhaps some of you hadn’t “met Iup" with a buddy burner. It ‘was an American Girl Scout ‘leader who introduced me to the gadget. Shortly after- wards I went on a motor trip and we relied on my ‘newly made “stove” for making tea, coffee, or ‘boil- ing soup or eggs. It was a great convenience. You take a squat salmon tin or another tin of about the same size and shape. You get some corrugated cardboard and cut a strip very slightly narrower than the height of the tin. You need enough cardboard to roll up inside the tin quite tightly but it can be made up of short strips. Then you pour melted paraffin wax into the tin to fill up the spaces left by the card- board. Now you have your heating unit with the card- board acting as a wick. Next you inprovise a little stove. A coffee tin, or a tomato tin (large size) or a similarly shaped t'In will do the trick. Cut out a small rectangle about 2” long and 1%" high at the open edge of the tin. Cut another hole a little more than 1” square at the opposite side, just below the bottom of the tin. You will need a cutting tool for this purpose; perhaps your father has one or you can borr0w one. TIN IS SHARP Remember that tin is very sharp and you have to be most careful not to cut yourself instead of the tin! This is your stove, allowing the air to come in at the bottom, and the smoke, etc., to escape through your chimney hole. (Actually for very short cooking you can make a tiny fire under this stove, without the use of the buddy burner.) If you want to cook, light your buddy burner, put the stove over it with the bot- tom hole towards the wind, and you are all set. To put your fire out, place a flat metal surface over the bud- dy burner. Be careful not to tip it for wax will have melted and you’ll lose it. So let it cool before handling. (We tried a little stove made out of heavy wire; it worked all right, but our pot got terribly black, and we did too, trying to clean it!)

Then roll in brown sugar, and toast again to melt the sugar.
