MIZEN 27 Seccomoe Ave. Phone: AVenue 5-157 0 waning Doncaster FOR BARGAINS PLEASE SEE PAGE Thornhill has many claims to fame. Some belong to the past and some to the present. There was a devout hired girl whose mir- acles startled the countryside and who, until the day she died was known as Holy Anne. There was the famous town of German Mills, from which the lumber was float ed down the Don‘ to build the Town of York. Today, not a trace re- mains of German Mills and all that is left of the Legend of Holy Anne is a cement-covered well. Today our claim is more enduring. Not so long ago Thornhill was the home of Franz Johnston, Fran- klin Arbuckle, Manley MacDonald, J. E. H. MacDonald and Mazo de la Roche. They too have gone but within the area now live more au- thors, illustrators and painters than many people areaware of. In the Juvenile section there is George Tait’s “Wake of the West Wind” and Jack Hambleton’s “Ab- itibi Adventure”. Both these au- thors are Canadians and both books are illustrated by Thoreau Mc Donald who lives here. Those ut- terly delightful books about dogs, ,‘Septimus the St. Bernard” and “Horace the Hound that Howled" were both written and illustrated by Ruth Collins. Miss Collins, who is a cartoonist, lives here too. In the Adult section you can find Billy Button’s “I Married an Ar- tist" illustrated by her husband Angus MacDonald. A little fur- ther removed from Thornhill lives Angus Mowat and until recently. his son Farley Mowat. Angus Mowat’s “Carrying-Place" and “Then I’ll Look Up” circulate reg- ularly and our copy of Farley Mow- at’s “People of the Deer" is wear ing out and ready for replacement. Our Library shelves hold their work and we are proud of it. On Colborne Street lives Fred Haines, whose gifts of his paintings for prizes in our annual Library Night have “lifted the mortgage” more than 'once. And further down Colborne Street, until a year ago, lived Hilda Hahn (Mrs. Harry Hooke) whose illustrations for fai- ry stories are breath-taking in their delicacy and exquisiteness. NOTE: Beginning the first of September the Library will resume its usual hours. Monday 7-9 pm. Tuesday 3-5 pm. Thursday 3-5 pm. Friday 7-9 pm. Saturday 930-1130 am. We have an this m’Thornhm _ and a Library too. We are most fortunate and I hope you realize it.
