Wednesday, October 13, 1999 THE OAKVILLE BEAVER B3 CFUW-OaMle celebrates 50 years, welcomes back local historian as speaker COMMUNITY UPDATE The Canadian Federation of University Women -- CFUW-Oakville, formerly the Oakville University Women's Club, celebrates its 50th anniversary with a 'Guest Night' on Oct. 18th. Betty Tough, a charter member and its first secre­ tary will cut the anniversary cake, along with Nancy Williams, current CFUW- Oakville president. Archives, along with ledger books, and photo albums, will be available for viewing at this special meet­ ing. The club installed its first executive on Oct. 11, 1949. Charter and former mem­ bers of CFUW - Oakville/ University Women's Club are invited to join the cele­ bration. The celebration will be held from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Oakville Trafalgar High School, Devon Road west of Maplegrove Drive. In the first, hand-written minute book, are listed the 62 names of the founding members, with their years of graduation, their universi­ ties, and their occupations. A sign of the times was the list­ ing of 42 members as house­ wife, teachers (unmarried) accounted for six, plus one secretary, one stenographer, one piano teacher, one matron at Appleby College, one Red Cross supervisor, one librarian, and one doc­ tor-anaesthetist. The rest left their occupations blank. The hour-long celebra­ tion will be followed at 8 p.m., by the return of archi­ tect and local historian David Jefferies, who spoke to the CFUW last February about the history of south­ east Oakville. He will present a slide show featuring portions of southwest Oakville titled 'Tales from the Pine Grove.' It will feature the Fourth Line including areas former­ ly known as McCraney's David Je ffe rie s Comers and Proudfoot Hollow and present-day Appleby College. His presentation last win­ ter was very well-attended and included a suggested walking tour of the areas he described. Jefferies' talks focus on the history of former Trafalgar Township, estab­ lished in 1805 that today encompasses most of the land area known as as the Town of Oakville. He is a director of office management for Zeidler Roberts Partnership/ Architects on Queen Street West in downtown Toronto. He has spent a consider­ able portion of the last year working with Canada's Sports Hall of Fame to relo­ cate to their proposed new national headquarters at the former Union Station near Parliament Hill in Ottawa. Since returning to Oakville in 1986, Jefferies has produced a variety of historical reviews including one for the 125th Anniversary of Maple Grove School entitled, Tales for the Maple Grove. He is a graduate of Oakville Trafalgar High School and the University of Waterloo. All women university graduates are invited to attend.
