Start- ed originally by Mrs. Margaret Grant some years ago. it contin- ued under her direetion up un- til the end of last year when she retired and Mrs. George Mel- drum was elected the new president. Towards the end of last month, Mrs. Meldrum, who was a hard worker for the club suffered a heart attack- and was confined to bed in St. Michael‘s Hospital, Toronto. In the interim, until Mrs. Meldrum is able to be up and around again, Mrs. Grant has taken over the organization duties of the club. ' The course at the club con- sists of clay modelling, lino cut- ting and oil painting. The first seven sessions will consist 'of clay modelling, the last seven sessions will be lino cutting and oil painting. Plans are underway for the group to do their own Christmas cards this year. The meetings have been moved this year to the Thornhill Public School Auditorium where it is hoped there will be more room to work and better lighting fac- ilities. Plan Music Appreciation Group Mr. Hal Hartley. chairman of the Bart Edwards Mem- orial Fund Committee re- ports that work is progress- ing on the setting up of the Memorial Library room to honor the late Bart Edwards. As yet, little tangible can be done until the arrange- ments for the leasing of the L‘Aventure home as a new library are finalized. Mrs. Grant has announced that plans are underway for the formation of an informal music appreciation club for the Thorn- hill area. It is hoped that meetâ€" ings can be held in various homes in the area with specially de- signed programs of recorded music and musical discussion be- ing featured at the meetings. The first meeting is expected to be called shortly and anyone in«‘ terested in the idea is asked to contact Mrs. Grant. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Rose spent an enjoyable week holidaying at Lake St. Peters. Mr. and Mrs. Edward\ Lawrâ€" ence- are motoring in the States for a week's holiday. Mrs. King travelled by Denver, COL, ter.

Thornhill, is nearing completion and traf- fic is expected to be going back across it within two weeks. The last of (he con- crete work on the bridge is finished but 21 days have to be allowed for the concrete to set fully before the bridge can be opened to traffic; STUART PAXTON During the interim, the steel hand rails will be put in place and fill will be put in on each side to bring‘the approaches of the road up to the bridge. The new chan- nel will be opened up so that the river will flow under the bridge rather than around it as is the present case. A spokesman for the conâ€" struction company doing the bridge building job reports that construction work is well ahead of schedule al- though conslderable difficul- ty was experienced due to the number of springs flow- ing in the ground around the area. Extra work had to be done to offset the continu- ous seepage in the area and a pump has to be in contin- ual operation 'to drain the water away â€"from the con- struction work.

Star-ting in June 1953 with a small nucleus of in- terested people and the drive to accomplish something, it has since expanded to the point where there are over 40 people. two teachers, and a new school serving a wide area in and aâ€" round Thornhill. The old Thornlea school was turned over to the Association on July 1 of this year and within twq weeks the first of over 50 volunteer workers had begun the big task of rehabilitating and re- pairing the old building. Con- sisting of parents. members of the association and friends. they donated their time and labour on evenings and over the week- ends to finish the school for its opening last Tuesday. School Painted and Repaired The major job was painting the building, both inside in the basement and classroom and the exterior. The large spacious grounds were cleaned up and prepared and a fence was built around the school. The front doors were repaired and re-sur- faced and a new sign was built and erected on the front of the school. The hardwood floors \in the school were all sanded and re- surfaced and new tile and lino- leum was laid in the basement, the entrance-way‘ and ih the three washroom‘s. All the old furniture was cleaned and pol- ished and new items of furniture. including a new piano, were add- ed. The/ majority of the mater- ial and machinery needed to do the extensive renovating job was donated by public spirited citi- 'zens and businesses in and a- round Thornhill. At last count there were 14 students registered for the fall term, ranging in age from 5 to 16 years of age. Also an.addiâ€" tional four pupils are expected from North York. The children are split between two classes with a maximum of eight child- ren in either .the morning or af- ternoon class. With two teach- ers, the children are guaranteed plenty of individual attention. The new teacher, starting this term, and working full time with the children is Mrs. Huggin- son, who comes from Toronto. Mrs. Hugginson has taught ex- tensively in the west and will make a welcome addition to the staff. Room For More Pupils Room For More Pupils In talking to Miss Ketola, present ‘teacher at the school, the Liberal learned that there is plenty of room in the school for more children and children of all ages are welcome. “We would Richard Hudnut, DuBarry Cosmetic Mrs. Reta Dwyer Drug, Store, Thornhill, Thursday, Consultant will be at Hal Harley’s and Friday, September 15 and 16, (1‘ hat's why businesses both large and small can take on many jobs they would be unable to . handle if they had to depend entirely on their own financial resources . ; : And why, every day and in every part of Canada, the chartered banks are lending money to producers, manufacturers, processors and other commercial customers. Commercial loans are only one of many banking services available at a branch of a chartered bank. You will find it is a convenient banking service-centre where you can attend to all your banking needs. When a business lands an order or a contract, it is likely to go to a chartered bank to arrange some of the financing. It may need bank credit to meet payrolls, to buy materials or to cover other costs that arise before it is paid. Men, materials . . . and money from 10 am. until 4.30 pm. THE CHARTERED BANKS SERVING YOUR COMMUNITY like parents of retarded children that are not now going to school to get in‘touch with us," stated Miss Ketola. "A phone is being installed in the school. or they are welcome to drop in on us anytime." she added. The area covered by the Thornhaven school extends from Richmond Hill to North York and one pupil is expected from Pickering and another from Vic- toria Square. The pupils are given as much academic work as they can absorb as well as special training. physical training, speech and craft work and music appreciation. Non-Profit Organization The Association for Retarded Children is a non-profit organi- zation run by 21 parents' council and is a member of the Ontario Association for Retarded Child-~ ren. The Thornhill Association expects to become officially in- corporated this fall. In summing up her reaction to the new school. Miss Ketola re- marked that she was quite happy with the new quarters and that they are a/great improvement over previous quarters. The next big thing, she stated. was to establish a building fund to build a brand new modern school within five years‘ time. FROM â€"â€" I THE BASEMENT TO THE ROOF House Repairs & Alterations .

I often stop to watch a road-building project where th} bulldozers and tractor‘s are levelling out wide. smooth, easily-curved super-highways. I’ve often heard friends wonder if it’s all worth it. Well, let’s see. In Los Angeles, a study showed that it costs two cents a mile less to drive a car on a freeway than on an ordi- nary highway. The total of all savings. in gas and wear and drivers‘ time, would pay for an expressway in less than 10 years. the survey showed. But aren‘t the speed-crazy fools going to race down the expresswayéat breakneck speeds? Yes, some will, I supposeâ€" but a four-year study in Connecticut showed that a motorist driving on an ordinary highway, no matter how cautious he is, stands twice the chance of having an accident as the motorist on a limited access expressway. In New York, a trattic engineer estimated that it cost 3.3 cents a mile to drive’a car on an expressway (this was when gasoline was a lot cheaper. it would be more than that now. but the comparisons are interesting). Good highways do save money {or the driver, be- sides miking life more bearable. You can only take ad- vantage of those savings; 0! course. if your car is in lop mechanical shape. A car that’s in tune, regularly serviced by our factory-lrained boys, will respond to better high- ways by swallowing less gas, chewlng up loss rubber and scraping down less metal. ' Come in this week and just let them have, a look-see. If there’s nothing to be done, or only a squirt of grease is needed, they’ll soon tell you.
