The dinner followed an af- ternoon reception when many friends, old and new, came to congratulate Mr. Rose on his many years of service to the township and wish him a long and happy retirement. Both affairs were held at Seneca College, Dufferin Street, King City. I am sure that the residents on the King Sideroad, and other roads, join us in our appreciation of the tree planting that has been done recently.

Every few days, with a leap over the fence that would turn Superman green with envy, Dublin goes missing. So, if you see an Irish setter on your lot, don‘t panic, he’s not rabid, all the Irish (setters, that is) drool a lot.

While on the subject of cars I’d like to meet the person who almost drove into the back of my car on Yonge Street while I was waiting to turn into St. John’s Anglican Church Thursday at 4.30 pm. I gave plenty of warning by signalling and applied my brakes several times to warn him, I could see him in Well, last week I found out who he is. I flipped through a magazine and saw a picture of a car (a different one) which the caption said belonged to Filthy McNasty, My regular readers will remember that back in August I saw a car with California license plates which read “Filthy”.

Call Helpmate for information gi ELECT DflROTHY PRICE f COUNCILLOR WARD 2 BOB HOUGHTON IS INTERESTED IN EDUCATION the first 10 months of operation of Helpmate- Information (North Branch) the total number of calls received was only 25 less than the-total received by Helpmate (Richmond Hill) in the same period in their first year. The biggest demand for volunteers is under the category of drivers, which was expected. Although I am presently in England, I will be continuing to write this column, as much as possible. For the next month or so, albums and such will be the main topics. After I reach London, which will be sometime in January, Iwill begin writing back about British music and its many aspects. The tape consists of 10 songs, each ranging from three to four minutes in length. Together it forms a story. sort of a musical play, which evolves around a central character, creating an adventure. To clearly illustrate certain happenings and moods in the ad- venture, sung dialogue, third person narrative with a musical background, or certain sound effects are used to link the ten songs together. Local Rock For the past couple of weeks, Geronimo’s (located at the Black Hawk Motor Inn) has had some fine talent under their roof. Last week, Downchild Blues Band played to packed houses, while the week before the Good Brothers accomplished the same feat, Other features Some of the other bands coming to Geronimo’s before then are Devotion â€" November 25 to 30, Greaseball Boogie Band â€"â€" December 2 to 7, Bill King â€" December 9 to 14, Max Webster â€" December 16 to 21, Black Creek â€" December 23 to 28 and Fludd â€" appearing only for a special New Year’s Eve show. The Good Brothers also performed admirably at Geronimo‘s. It was actually a real treat seeing the Good Brothers. Their friendliness and fun for people easily gave one the impression they were as close as your ‘next-door neighbors’, so to speak. If you missed their act, or would like to see them again, they will be playing at Geronimo’s in the first week of January 1975. a tape involving a cellection of “their‘ arrangements. It contains some very likeable pieces of music. Downchild Blues Band is the obviously the best band to appear at Geronimo’s so far. Their in- credible talent. as musicians, clearly shows why they are one of the top blues bands in Canada. And although Thorah have only been together as a group for half a year, theyihave already completed If this type of response keeps up, there’s no doubt Geronimo’s will continue to operate next year. For the sake of having this superior type of en- tertainment in Richmond Hill, I only hope it does. This combination of instruments, along with their fine compositions, results in a style of music that can be classified as classical-folk. Thorah â€" consisting of Steven Cook, Pete Evans and Tullan Willen â€" is a Canadian folk group which combines the use of piano, flutes, acoustic guitars, harmonicas and soft, melodic; and at times, lush Robert G.
