The local Kinsmen were hosts for the event, and all 68 clubs in the district were represented. It was the best turnout ever with over 500 Kin- smen attending. The theme of the fall council, beginning a new year in Kin. was “Laff Inn" and there were many hijinx. One of the most lucrative was “dial- a-pic" at $5 a hit on a fellow Kinsman. Par< ticipants had a choice of victims and raised $190. On the serious side, guidelines were set up for business for the new year. The Kinsmen of Rich- moan Hill were proud recipients of a crest for the largest donation for a ,jimior club â€" $3,400 for research in the fight against cystic fibrosis. The very successful monster bingo held by the Kinsmen earlier in the year had made this donation possible. The club has also set aside funds for a major service project in the community.

Natural history The naturalists‘ last meeting was a daytime excursion to observe the natural history' of the area Travelling in a motorcade, they covered about 30 miles of Vaughan roads and streets. Gerry Bennet led the expedition and Ottelyn Addison performed the duties of amanuensis botanica. Among the flowers noted was witch hazel, found along Dufferin Street just north of Maple Downs Golf Club. There was specualtion as to whether or not the name was derived from the fact the twigs were used for water-Witching; whether it was because the flowers come out around Hallowe‘en, or if perhaps the early botanists asked one another. “Witch hazel is this?“ A total of 42 species of birds were seen, in- cluding a great blue heron and two coots at Oakbank Park in Thornhill: a pileated woodpecker, a fox sparrow and two woodcock at Dufferin Street and Kirby Roads. and three guinea fowl bi‘cakl‘asting along Yonge Street near Carrville Road. Plants and peepers Forty-five plants were still producing bloom, many for the second time, and, consistent with the mild temperature pat» tern, both swamp tree frogs anrl spring peepers were heard in song. Stops included Oakbank l’ark, Dufferin and Kirby Road Allowance, the 'l‘eston woods between Jane Street and Weston Road, and the most popular one of the day, a lunch break at Binder Twine Park just east of Kleinburg. The outing was unique in several ways: nobody got lost; nobody com- plained; nobody got wet feet and the event started and ended on time. €n~la-vogfl A A A h A )e 5? te‘uéio 000000 a it’s appeni Margaret Lacie editor Meals on Wheels Mealsâ€"on-Wheels in the Richmond Hill, Thornhill area is in dire need of volunteers â€" male and female â€" to serve as drivers and runners in delivering meals.
