Hamlet of Spring/till chapel 117 years old By Norman Matthews It is November 1857. and tie sound from the chapel Ielfry has called the faithful t) the Church of England rervice commemorating All Saint‘s in the hamlet of Springhill mow King City). Stamping the snow. from their feet. the families at- tending enter through the gothic door and sit down in the straight-backed pine pews. Guest preacher for the occ sion is Rev. Bevan. The foregoing was presumably the scene 117 years ago at All Saint‘s Anglican Church. King. on Keele Street when Yonge Street was the only well travelled roadway from Tdonto to Lake Simcoe. Concerned about the rstoration. preservation aid upkeep of the historical clapel which now adjoins tie newer church. a chapel aid cemetery committee vas formed in 1973. This same committee hvited interested Kin 'esidents and members of he King Township Historical Society to the launching of “Heritage Week" February 15 at 11 am. After enjoying cone versation and coffee in the parish hall everyone sat down to listen as Rev. Neville Bishop. rector of All Saint's gave a short ad dress. “I welcome you on a very different occasion“. he said. ‘Il'm amazed at the number of times people meet at All Saint's to drink coffee. tea and munch on something.“ He gave a brief history of tie old and new church biildings and said they were irto “Phase One of a restoration and leautification" program of tie chapel. “It's because of the )eauty and excitement ot the Chapel that we formed a committee." The minister thanked Mayor Margaret Britncll and her committee for their good work. which is “unich to us who make this our spiritual home". In the audience was Mrs. Carleton Crossley whose greatâ€"grandfather. Oliver Sturdy. helped in the building of the chapel in those pioneer days. As head of the committee. Mayor Margaret Britnell took the floor and said “a lot of young folk are interested in preserving our heritage". On a more personal note. she said she recently asked her young son Tim what he thought should be done with the chapel. receiving the reply “Just leave it alone". “Work must be done from the top down" she stated. listing some of the repairs needed immediately. “There are visual leaks in the roof“ and the belfry must be fixed and restored. the mayor said. Other challenges she listed to scrape and paint where required. strip and refinish the pine pews and wall panelling. and remove the linoleum floor covering to reveal the natural pine floors. She welcomed President Bill Poulis of the King Township Historical Society and John Upjohn. the society‘s chairman of the Eversley Church Com- mittee. She praised the work of local historian Elizabeth Gillham (also a member of the chapel and cemetery committee) especially her recently completed book on the history of King which has gone to print. Another dignitary at this “Heritage Week" gathering was Sinclair Stevens. MPP. accompanied by his wife Eliza. “I should make a little ceremony first" he said as he unfolded a red and white Canadian Flag and presented it to Mayor Britnell and Rev. Bishop. "Recorded history in (‘anada goes back 500 years." Almost name-dropping. Stevens said “(John) liictcnbaker often reminds me that his grandparents livctl In this area during the lHt2~lHl~l period and that he would like to come back one New faces give a lift By Donna Matthews Mrs. Carol Williams of Merle Norman Cosmetics was guest speaker at the Good Morning Group regular meeting. With her was her assistant “Heather” and “Sal” of Follino‘s He 8; She Hair Styling. also located in Hillcrest Mall. Richmond Hill Between Mrs. Williams and “Sal” they managed to anaver the many questions the ladies had concerning makeup and hair care. President of the GMG Windy Henderson and Marion Reinert volunteered tleir“faces". Mrs. Williams. talking as sle made up one side 01 \lendy's face. said that e'et‘yone should develop a look“ that is theirs alone. ‘Nothing is more charming ban a woman with the :onfidence of knowing that she looks her best". she said. The most useful item on vour makeup table is the brush. Highlight what you want to stand out. and darken what you want to hide. “Sal” in speaking about hair care said that the "instant" conditioners on the market are of very little value; the 20 minute products will work if applied correctly. Just three drops of baby oil worked into the hair will also condition. Mrs. Williams completed half of Wendy‘s face and then left her to do the other half herself. "Heather" did Marion‘s face in golden tones to compliment her brown printed outfit while Wendy had a pinkish glow to go with the blue shades that she was wearing. Both ladies. complete with false eyelashes. looked terrific when through. Mrs Williams passed out samples of Merle Norman Motsturc Lotion \‘ery noticeable was the lack of pressure to come into the shop and buy. although I'm sure some plan on a visit day and speak to a group". Our history “should be preserved for future generations". He said he was pleased to hear of Mrs. Gillham’s book and looks forward to reading it. “Many thanks for inviting me; we at the Federal (government) level will give any assistance possible." Not expecting to be called upon to speak. Bill Poulis did a good job of ad libbing as he addressed the group as head of the historical society. “We’re all for the renovation work of the chapel. We now have Eversley Church under our wing. Your aims are our aims and we‘ll do all we possibly can to help." It's interesting to note that the site of the chapel was donated by James Pulford who was not a member of the Anglican congregation. The chapel was consecrated as a church (reportedly) in 1870. King residents are reminded that donations to the chapel and cemetery Fund would be most welcome as would be the offer of volunteer help. Norm ’s reflections â€" Pop cans as [eaten boxes By Norman Matthews Remember when you were a kid and Lent meant giving up something for 40 days? Many of our fathers would have (jokingly) thought about giving up their‘wife or mother~in-law but ended up by doing without some luxury. I know that in our family my Lenten fasting ' eliminated going to the movies (like the Oxford. Community. or Grover theatres in East York) buying candy or comic books (Wonder Woman. Cisco Kid. Looney Tunes and Merry Melodies). The idea was. of course. to put the money you would normally spend on a treat into a Lenten offering box given to you by the church. Remember those triangular shaped cardboard con- tainers with the purple coloring given to you by your Sunday school teacher? Every so often your parents would give the box a little shake to check on how much you were putting into it. I had them fooled for the longest time by filling it with pennies which have an impressive weight and sound. Some people used a perforated coin card in which a dime«aday was placed. supposedly. Actually, how many people lDonna’s Bits Er Pieces Did you know that Aurora was once known as “Machill‘s Corners“ and Schomberg was referred to by many early pioneers as “Brownsville”?

Sympathy is extended to the family and friends of Janie Archibald. who passed away at her home in Pottageville February 22. King Township council committee meeting March 10 at the township offices at l pm. got a few dollars worth of dimes to fill it up a day or so before they had to turn it in? In this enlightened age of environmental controls. reclaimed paper. and recycled metal. I’m sur~ prised that the children aren’t asked to decorate empty pop cans and use them for their Lenten box. This would certainly make use of the disposable metal containers as well as sounding better when the coins inside rattle. Maybe the children could do this for sale at a pre~lenten fair or something. Anyhow. who gives up anything for Lent anyway? Most Sunday school teachers haven’t mentioned it to the children and I haven‘t heard a word on fasting in any sermon. And if we don't give anything up. there won‘t be any pennies. nickles or dimes to put into this year‘s square. purple, cardboard Lenten boxes. I wonder if they'll reject my Lenten offering in a wallpaper-coated Coke can”. I mean. if it jingles with the sound of pennies inside and I use purple. penitential vinyl paper covering on it. and all? Just think of the joyous sound it would make as 40 youngsters jingle. jangte their pop Lenten cans down the aisle of the church as we sing “All things come of thee". Jack Walkington of King Sideroad has received a special certificate from the Canadian Red Cross for donating a total of 35 pints of blood. Happy birthday to Mrs. Sylvia Williams of Elizabeth Grove March 6. The trouble with having a place for everything is how often it gets filled up with everything else.
