Interesting Address Mr. Piggott gave a very inter- esting and thought-provoking ad- dress enlivened by frequent bits‘ of humor. His subject was “Bring ’Em Up Alive,“ and he spoke of the problems involved. in bring- ing up a child today to be a well adjusted adult in our complex ur- ban industrial society, as com- pared to those of parents raising a child in the rural agricultural society of 50- years ago. He em- phasized particularly the import- ance of the family unit and how we must compensate for the loss of‘closeness and affection in the family situation. He concluded by outlining the four chief funcâ€" tions of education: (1) To conserve human ability, .2! To “abilitate” that ability, «3) To educate for citizenship. 14> To. teach the best use of leisure time. ' Mr. Allan MacMillan thanked the speaker. Miss G. Wesley‘s Grade I won the attendance cup.

November n, 1955 Small Turnout Annual Meeting Recreation Commitee Reports On Activities Thornhill Area Recreation Committee operates a size- able business in a harmonious and business-like way, re- tiring president R. C. Poulter pointed out in the course of a complete review of this year’s activities at its annual meeting on November 13. Walter Smook, treasurer, pres- ented a financial statement showing disbursements of $20,418.57 and a balance on hand amounting to $1,009.42 for this year as of October 31. Reviews Constitution Mr. Poulter reviewed the con-l stitution of the A.R.C. which was established to provide a program of community recreation within the meaning of the Ontario De- partment of Education Act. for the well-being of the communâ€" ity and the use‘of the inhabitants within the area between Duffel”- in St. onxthe west, the 3rd con- cession. Markham Twp., on the east, No. 7 Highway and Lang- stai’f Sideroad on the north and Steeles Ave. on the south. The committee co‘hsists of seven members, five elected for a two- year term, alternating three and two annually. one appointed by the Thornhill Bbard of Trustees, and onerappointed by Thornhill Lions. Club. They have held two regular meetings each month and have devoted considerable addi- tional time to planning. Each member was assigned a specific responsibility, acting as a sub- committee. under a reorganized system this year. The president felt this type of organization pro- ved very successful and produced good results. Outline Activities Though the swimming pool was the biggest single operation. the A.R.C. also promoted a playâ€" ground, Daub & Sketch Club, baseball, tennis, charm school, picnic grounds, a small music ap- preciation group, some skating and badminton. and a six-week summer program for children. Average attendance at the sum- mer classes was 35-40 out of an enrollment of 65. Held daily, without charge, from 1.30. to 4 pm. at Thornhill Park, it pro- vided stories, crafts and games under the direction of Mrs. Dorâ€" othy Hyndman with one assistant. Swimming pool activities in- cluded instruction in life-saving, diving, synchronized swimming, child and adult learn-to-swim classes. Red Cross swimming certificates. were issued to 228 beginners, ’109 juniors, 19 interâ€" mediates and 10 seniors. Royal Life Saving Society awarded four intermediate certificates, nine bronze medals, 16 Lifeguard Pro- ficiency awards, and one Instruc- tors'. Total attendance at the pool was considered low because of poor weather. On July 17, Thornhill Swimming Club pres- ented a very successful water circus, and on August 19 the an- nual aquacade took place. Staff of the pool consisted of a full- time manager, assistant manager, program director and 18 instruc- tors. Mr. Poulter emphasized the care taken to ensure complete safety, to the extent that the committee was occasionally ac- cused of being too careful. Res- cues effected numbered 17, but ‘thanks to the alertness and ‘training of the guards, none was ,of a serious nature. Staff remuneration increased this year because the committee had to pay according to the open market to get good stafi. Juniors in the community were not ad- vanced enough, and previous 10- cal staff had moved on, thanks to their experience at the pool. An- other increase in costs resulted from the gain in the number of free Swimming classes, a situa- tion which should be reviewed. Pool time was provided for Water Ballet by the swimming club un- der Mrs. Warren. Mr. Poulter re- marked this activity should be en- couraged. Winter Sports The ARC. hopes to assist the Doncaster-Highland Park Re- creation Committee with pleas- ure skating, to have skating on the fiend, and to experiment with an ice surface (in the tennis courts which are higher in the middle than at the ends. Mr. Poulter thanked all mem- bers of the staff. The managers did an excellent job. He remarked that meetings had been very smooth and harmonious, and he especially praised Mr. Smook as treasurer for preparing profess- ional financial reports and al- ways having the curent balance. Financial Report The treasurer. Mr. Smock. preâ€" sented “in mournful numbers". a financial report for 1956, com- menting that though it did not present such a fine picture as that of 1955, not once had the A.R.C. been in the red at the bank. Balance on hand at October 31, amounted to $1,009.42. Bal- ance on hand at January 1. 1.- 252.90. total receipts $20,175.09 and total disbursements $20,418.- 57. Swimming pool receipts am- ounted to $15,874.70. with dis- bursements of $17,175.68. Total grants amounted to $3,435.00, of which 51.83500 came from Vauâ€" ghan Twp. Recreation Commit- tee and $1,100.00 from Thornhill Trustees. Mr. Smock pointed out that rise in salaries at the pool had increased from $7,833.00 last year to $10,300. in 1956. In line, admission fees had risen from 27 cents to 31.4 cents per capita, though the price of season tick- ets remained the same. Capital expenditure in connection with the new tennis courts amounted to $1,178.98 in 1956 Mrs. J. D. Grant reported an enrollment of 30' in the Daub & Sketch Club this year. It rents space in Thornhill High School and has hired Charles Wakefield as instruct . It showed at the ONE. and at the Lions‘ Carni- val. and is now considering child- ren's art classes for Saturday mornings. Charles Sowdon reported .for the swimming pool and for the Charm School (officially Called “Self-Improvement Group”). He warned that each year more mon- ey would be required to put the pool in shape for opening. This year new filters, new rods in the well and pump repairs had cost $2,010.00. He noted that the well was not pumping as much water, and that cement was giving out. The Charm School had 20 teen- age members who met on Mon- day nights for 13 weeks under Betty Grant, a professional model and who gave a fashion show on November 16. A class for mothers of such daughters is now being considered. Play began on the new tennis courts on the July first week-end. Round robihs were held for senâ€" iors in August and for the juniors in September. Willard Simpson conducted elâ€" ection of three new members to the committee this year, replac- ing Mr. Poulter, Mr. Smook and Mr. Sowdon who retired ‘at the end of their terms of office. Mr. K. Richan proposed as a slate for the ARC. Arthur Lennie. Rob- ert Napier and John McKenzie, and lacking furthur nominations these were elected by acclama- tion. More Thornhill Representation In a flurry of discussion dur- ing nominations Allan Sumner, Thornhill Trustee, proposed that since Thornhill provided what amounted to one mill on the tax bill ,and other municipalities proâ€" vided no funds, Thornhill should have greater. representation than just one member. Mr. K. Ifichan opposed Mr. Sumner, stating that the nominated slate was supposed to look after the interests of the village as well as those of other areas. Lack of interest of the com- munity in general towards the activities of the ARC. was re- flected in the very small size of the audience (about 12) composed in the main of persons directly engaged in the business of the annual meeting. Expect Quiet Election Day For Thornhil! Nominations are being held to- night (Thursday, November 22) in Thornhill to nominate candi- dates for the ofiices of three Vill- age Trustees. The meeting is be- ing held in the United Church Hall and nominations will be acâ€" cepted between 7.30 and 8.30 pm. From all appearances, it will likely be a quiet election in Thornhill. As yet there have been no indications from Thorn- hill residents as to possible can- didates who might seek office. There are unconfirmed reports that Trustee Chairman Willard Simpson will not stand for re- election. However, neither Trus- tee George Giles nor Trustee A1- lan Sumner. have committed themselves regarding their inten- tions in the forth-coming elec- tion. Elect T. J.
