16 Carnival Back in August, Tracey Perry, aged 10, of Bayview Avenue South organized a "front yard carnival" in aid of Muscular Dystrophy. Helping were brothers Jeff and Chris and friends and neighbors, Brigitte and Wer- ner Prelle, Cindy, Cheryl, Sean and Lynette Heavener and Colleen Shannon. The collection, in book form, was commissioned by the Canadian Government as its official gift to Her Maj- esty the Queen, and the visiting heads of Govern- ment to commemorate the Commonwealth Conference held in Ottawa in August, 1973. The pictures are lent by the National Film Board, Still Photography Division, and come to the Library from the Art Gallery of On- tario. The “Canada” photographs is the first of a series of exhibits planned for King Township Libraries during the coming months. Women’s Institute The color photography ex- hibit "Canada" at the Gal- lery Room of the King Town- ship Public Library until September 26 is a unique col- lection of pictures by 22 photographers from across the country and are full of fresh and evocative images. Three sets of this exhibition are being exhibited through- out Europe, the United States and South America by the Department of External Affairs. The pictures are accompanied by framed poems in French and Eng- lish Twenty members of the King Branch met for the first meeting of the season at the Elgin Mills home of Edna’and Les McNair. This 150 year old house has been the McNair family home for many years and once shel- tered a refugee during the MacKenrie Rbllion of 1837. Miss McNair showed the ladies her large collection of antique glass, while 'her brother explained some of his pieces of antique furni- ture. The children had a refresh- ment booth. a white elephant table, tractor rides. a forâ€" tune‘ teller. a penny drop and a balloon bust. The day's receipts amounted to $28. At The Library The ladies returned to the home of Mrs. Hans Neilson for their business meeting and refreshments. Mrs. Cathy Hall gave a report of the WI Rally which she attended in June. The rally was 'held in Sharon. The same enterprising group of youngsters, this time‘ with others. under the name, “The Children's The- atre Troupe", held another function in aid of Muscular Dystrophy September 6. This time they turned their talents to drama and presented a one-act play en- titled. “Yo Ho. Yo Ho," pro- duced and directed by Mrs. Margaret Ozols. The presentation was given in the Prelle’s basement family room. where it was standing room only, quite literally. as the room was packed with friends and neighbors. A silver collec- tion was taken and the even- ing was considered an un- qualified success, netting a total of $25.10. Well done! I hope to be reporting on this enterprising group again in the future. Rev. Earl Gerber of St. John's Anglican Church will be at the Albion Hills Con- servation Area this coming Sunday at 8:30 am for an Eskimo Service of Worship. The service, jointly con- ducted by Mr. Gerber and Rev. Tom Martin, rector of Beeton. is for the two dozen Eskimo students from the Eastern Arctic who are in the area on a return visit to the local students who were in the Arctic last year. I have heard that Bob An- derson, principal of Lake Wilcox School. wants the group to present the show for the whole school. Watch this column for more details.

Error Brings Cut In Taxes Santa Claus came early to King Township ratepayers this year with the announce- ment by Major Margaret B'ritnell last week that an error by the township's ac- counting department will mean a reduction of about $14 in 1974 taxes for the average ratepayer. GOODWOOD: Neighbors of the Goodwood Go-Kart Track have complained to Uxbridge council that pri- vately-owned karts at the track are causin‘g noise pol- lution. During a practice and major race session from August 26 to September 2, residents claim they were subjected to 50 hours of noise which was “detrimen- tal to health." The reduction from the amount stated on the tax bills came about through re- allocation of the grant Bell Canada pays to the town- ship instead of property taxes, the mayor said. Until last year, the grant w&s paid directly to the township. Now a portion is paid to the York County Board of Edu- cation. “Our accounting staff was so used to the old: system they just went ahead as they had in the past." explained the mayor. “The school board actually found the er- ror." The grant-sharing lowered the school taxes for the township. Which accounts for the saving, according to Ma- yor Britnell who stres- sed that most of the higher tax levy in King this year came from the school levy. “The township levy is down by $260." she said. ' The average homeowner wihh property assessed at «20.000 will now pay about $470 in taxes in 1974, up a- bout $30 from 1973. King Provincial PCs Enjoy Annual Beef And Oyster Party York North Provincial Progressive Conservative Association held its annual beef and oyster party on September 7. and it just wasn't the same! Instead of being held on the grounds of the Walker home in Kingscross Estates with green grass. shrubs. bushes, and the open sky, it was held in the confines of the con- crete floored King Arena (oops, Community Centre). Sure. the red colored lights suspended from the rafters, and the bales of hay suitably placed for seating. gave the place some atmosphere. But somehow it reminded me of the recreation room parties of the 1950's (only larger). But King residents always seem to enjoy a party no matter where it's held or by whom. In fact many persons who we understood are Lib- eral in their politics, were there. In fact, some helped to make it an event. Rather strange looking plants were growing around the room, each bearing a printed sign explaining name and origin. I liked the one behind the bar entitled “Corm Bloom" and saying something about Hugo Wal- ker's feet. A canvas enclosure housed the beef and salads where Brian MacDonald and John Gilmour busily sliced resist beef from 6 until past 0 o’clock. while Harry Ballard slaved over a hot fire. (Others may have shared these chores also, but these are the only ones I recog- nized.) At the opposite end of the arena. in the snack bar area, the raw oysters were being served in their open shell.

No matter how hard we tried to induce Donna to try one. she refused, asking such questions as “Do you chew them?" The rector of All Saint's Neville Bishop, was hard at work in the oyster bar. Having received compli- mentary ’press tickets. we perhaps shouldn’t throw any punches, but I felt that the cost of the drinks was too high. For the price charged. I would have preferred im- ported Heineken instead of being offered either Labatt's “50" or “Blue”. Early music was provided by the Richmond Hill Youth Concert Band under the direction of Robert Theil and they really played some sweet sounds. Later George Cowie took over and the dance floor soon became filled. There had been rumors of one or more mystery guests. We were there from 6:30 until 10:30 and the only mystery was what happened to the mystery guest. Maybe someone exciting or promi- nent streaked through while I was getting my beef sand- wich! While no mystery guest appeared, local poli- ticians Sinclair Stevens and Bill HongOn were busy shaking hands while Mayor Britnell appeared to be en- joying the dancing.
