Painter of Water-Color Blooms Your correspondent, although a little late in doing so, would like to introduce to her readers. the very interesting and charm- ing Mrs. Hope Haines. who re- cently opened the "Hope Shop“ in Thornhill. Mrs. Haines who was born in Montreal as Hope Darling came to Toronto with her husband the late T. R. King and settled in Weston. where they both became ardent gardeners. During convalescing from an op- eration Mrs. King who later ad- opted the pseudonym “Hope”. started to paint flowers. and in the space of a few months paint- ed over 100 individual pictures of more than 50 varieties of garden blooms. She later pres- ented a pair to a very close friend. Mrs. R. M. Wansbrough. who in giving a tea to which she was inviting some 200 guests. suggested she give a private showing. This showing was fol- lowed by a public showing at Mallory's Galleries. “Hope” later started painting Canadian wild flowers of which she had hoped to make a complete collection. The early set was broken up when the late Dr. James Goodwin purchased a great many. The fact that this artist has never taken a lesson in her life has amazed many people. including the late Au ustus Bridle, art and music crit c, whose complimentary press notices are among her most priz- Ied possessions. “Hope.” now Mrs. William Halnes who opened her shop in October. is well qualified to a â€" vise you regarding the suitable framing of your pictures She carries a complete stock of frames as well as many beautiful paint- ings in her Yonge Street shop, and looks forward to a long stay in this community.

I By the Thornhill Librarian I There are many reasons: why people live beyond the limits of big cities. the opportunities to watch and study the eternal mir- acle of the changing seasons, the summer birgi visitors. and those that remain with us all the year. the flowers that cheer our walks from March to September. It is readily admitted that the best ties and mysteries of nature is in company with a well informed friend; lacking such a companion, we can turn to many books to an- swer our questions. Â¥ We have on our Thornhill Li- brary shelves many books which will prove delightful and profit- able fireside companions. Some of these volumes are dogâ€"eared and worn and the format by no means modern, but within the covers are the answers to your questions. When the roads are snow-blocked and winter winds howl about the eves. sunny sum- mer days can be recaptured â€" Even to dream 0‘ them is to dis- The cold fox-10m midwinter rev- eries. Lulled with the perfume of old hopes new-blown No longer dreams, but clear real- ities. To the lover of streams ahd fields and woods, John Burroughs ls our supreme guide and com- panion. Burroughs lived and wrote about the New England countryside, but the flora rm! fauna of New England are so similar to ours that wa: " :n be r “d to our town- et al. Burroughs is no academ- 1c naturalist, anu his keen eye missed little. Recently I was reading his essay on The Fox and noted his comments on Renard‘s of lving on top of a stone wall in such a position that he could have a good view of sur- rounding fields. Last winter while out on a fox hunt I noted a stone wall dividing a field. I re- called lBurroughs‘ observation of the fox’s partiality for sicne walls. Sure enough, Mr. Fox leaped from the wall and his pre- datory days are over. Our library shelves contain a' number of other books by natur- . alists and once again I cannot re- . sist the temptation to intrude my personal preferences. That strange character W. H. Hudson's “Book of the Naturalist” is a fine collection of essays. Hudson wrote of the fields and woods of England, but the true lover of 1 nature should not be limited to his local terrain. ‘ The bird lover must not miss “Flashing Wings” by Saunders. We are right at home with his book as it is the result of Saun. ders’ observations in the Toronto area. “Birds in Your Backyard” is a recommended book for those who cannot go too far afield. Thompson Seton was a Canadian pioneer in nature writing and his “Wild Animals at Home” is most- ly about our native animals. There are also several volumes of Wm. Beebe books. Beebe has a large reading public, and I would ‘venture the opinion. the largest reading public of all natural his- tory writers, but his subjects are imostly of the tropics. About Books And Reading Arthur Heming's book. “The Living Forest" is perhaps not quite within the category of the books mentioned above, but I am prepared to defend my dictum that it is one of the best ten boys’ books ever printed. Some day I shall do a whole column on it. We have recently acquired “Nature Notebook" by Robert Candy. This is Mr. Candy‘s first book, and we hope that there will be a steady flow of books of this type from his pen. I can thor- oughly recommend it to boys and girls and it will be found of great value to Boy Scouts ,and Girl .Guides who are working for their Naturalist Badges. We do not have Roger Peter- sen's “Field Guide to the Birds". This is a book which should be carried In the pocket or ready for quick reference. It is the ornithologist's final authority of identification. More than 20 pupils of the Thomhill Public School compet- ed in the Library Poster Compe- titionl The high quality of the posters is such that they will all be used. With some difficulty the Board finally chose the posters of Marion Fraser and Marylou Fug- ler as the winners of the First and Second prizes. respectively. The prizes will be awarded to the winners on “Library Night". to be held in February. Finally. I emphasize that the fullest enjoyment of these books comes only to those who go out and see for themselves.

Maple Telephone Maple 110R3 Edgeley Farm Forum The opening meeting of the Edgeley Farm Forum for the. season was held at the home of‘ Mr. and Mrs. Jack Chapman on November 3, when an interesting discussion on “The Agricultural Representative and the Farmer" took up the evening. Many points were considered in answering questions on how they thought their very busy Agricultural Rep- resentative could reach more farm people without having to increase his own activities. It was pointed out that at the present time Edgeley forum members are using the services 0f their Agricultural Represen- tative in obtaining from him in- formation on pasture mixtures, grain varieties. soil testing. crop competitions. Calf Club activities. weed control. etc. Reading the bulletins he sends to them also proves helpful, This Forum be- lieves that the kind of help need- ed most is already being given to ‘those who will listen and accept it. To help the Agricultural Rep- resentative reach more people. the members thought more far- mers should attend the meetings sponsored or called by their Ag. Rep. and that he should be re- lieved of the task of serving on various committees in the Coun- ty so that he could have more time to devote to other work. The organization of a township Fed- eration of Agriculture was sug- gested. Miss Dorothy Gribble a popular young lady of Thornlea district has received many fine gifts in honour of her forth-coming mar- riage to Mr. Earl Jordan of Ac- ton.

At Thornhill Notwithstanding t h e d a y' 5 storm and the difficulties of traf- fic,’ the funeral service for Mrs. Miriam Elsie Kent. wife of Rev. Dr. E. E. Kent. minister of the United Churches at Thornhill and Carrville. was attended by an assembly which filled the Thorn- hill church last Saturday after- noon, November 1. Mrs. Kent died suddenly. at mid-week. at Western Hospital Toronto, which she had entered only a few days earlier. In addition to the people of the two congregations to which her husband ministered. Mrs. Kent had many other friends in the Toronto area and in the country about Webbwood, Angus and Thornton, where Dr. Kent form- erly held charges. Their sorrow was made the keener by the shock of her death’s unexpectedness. Many beautiful floral offerings from church organizations and others spoke both of the affect- ion in which Mrs. Kent was held and the sadness brought by her death‘ At the brief church service Rev. Gordon Domm, minister of Bathurst United Church. Toronto. Past Chairman of Toronto Cent- re Presbytry of which Dr. Kent is present Chairman. paid moving tribute to Mrs. Kent as a woman personality who would be remem- bered with affection for her own kindliness and remembered with gratitude in various communities because of her devotion and faith- fulness in the work of the church and her contribution to other good causes. Organ music for the service was played by Mrs. Winnifred Heath and the choir of the Thornhill church led the congregation in the singing of “Rock of Ages”. As the funeral cortege moved to the Thornhlll cemetery the clear, singing tones of the organ chimes carried ap- propriate selections over the air from the church tower. At the cemetery the committal service was conducted by Rev. Fred Smith, minister of. Oak United Church, Toronto, an inti- mate friend of the Kent family for many years. Next Sunday morning Mr. Smith will be the preacher at a service in Mrs. Kent's memory at the Thomhill church at 11 o’clock. Pallbearers at the funeral were members of the official board of the Thornhill and Camille con- gregations. The honorary pall- bearers were K. S. Duncan. W. A. Ladell and W. R.
