Mrs. S, Freethy, the Matron, said she would like to thank the many friends who have done so much to help her and her charâ€" ges. She particularly thanked the people of Richmond Hill. the Rotary Club, the Lions Club, the Kiwanians, the Junior Board of Trade and also Mr. Rice for the many beautiful bouquets of roses to decorate the home for all oc- casions as well as the lovely cor- sages for Mrs. Freethy and her staff.

Displays The boys displayed beautiful woodwork and the girls a lovely assortment of aprons, skirts, blouses, etc. The picture above shows the complete cast in their attractive cos- tumes. Many fine comments were made on the excellent performance of the youngsters and‘much credit is due to Matron, Mrs. Freethy, and other members of the Homevstaflf for their work and encouragement with the children. The main booth was attractive- ly arranged as a mammoth flow- er basket of daffodils and nar- cissus. There presided Mrs. R. Kerslake and Mrs. S. Gurney in charge of membership. Many new members were registered and each received flower seeds and the year book of the societ). There also were Mr. P. Delf and Mr. R. Tilt with advice on gar- dening problems and Mrs. I. E. Grant with a selection of recom- mended hooks and periodicals. Garden Gate In the absence of the Presi- dent, er. Jack Large, the Fair was directed by the Vice-presi- dent Mr. Y, T. Lambert and of- ficially opened by Dr. Lillian Langstafif who‘ spoke of the aims of the Society and directed the attention of the audience to the various booths arranged to illus- trate these aims and to give as- sistance in attaining them. Bright March sunshine and all the attractions of the Fair com- bined to bring a large crowd t; the Lions Community Hall on Saturday, to visit the Richmond Hill Horticultural Society annual Spring Fair. At the Sign of the Garden Gate cut flowers, arrangements, and corsages drew many admir- ing comments. Mrs. B. L. Ander- son was the convenor. A new executive was elected at the annual business meeting of the Thornhill and District As- sociation for Retarded Children held at Thornhaven School, on March 21. The meeting opened with,_ a prayer by the Rev. Wm. Askew of Trinity Anglican Church, Thornhill. Mr. Maynarl Hallman, Inspector of Public Schools for the area and chair- man of the education committee of the school, gave a brief ad- dress commending last year's ex- ecutive for their good work. He also thanked the members of the organization for the support giv- en the executive. The annual reports were read by the chairmen of the standing committees. The treasurer gave the ‘auditor‘s report for 1957. A splendid selection of house plants and flowering bulbs was displayed to advantage by Mrs. H. H. MacKay and few visitors left the hall without a flower pot in hand or a bouquet of spring flowers, Baking Discuss Formation Boys’ Club For Richmond Hill Mr. Robert Shaw, Associate Regional Director of Boys‘ Clubs of Canada attended the meeting of the Richmond Hill Recreation Committee held last Thursday in the Council Chambers. Also pre- sent were representatives of the youth of the town and the service clubs which might be interested in sponsoring the formation of a Boys’ Club in Richmond Hill. The purpose of any Boys’ Club as Mr. Shaw outlined it, is to serve boys in the critical forma- tive years who are not partici- pating in such other activities as scouts, young peoples. etc. The club provides a place for boys to let off steam, encourages the urge for creative accomplishment and gives such educational, soc- ial and spiritual direction as the varying circumstances may indi- cate. A. R. Michell Elected Pres. Thornhaven School Group Spring-Like Weather Draws Large Crowd To Spring Fair The policy is to work with boys as they are, letting them chose their own leaders. in the hope that with proper guidance they will develop socially' valu- able abilities and attitudes and fill needs which home, church or school may riot be providing for. Mr. Eric Brewer “ho attend- ed the meeting on behalf of the Junior Chamber of Commerce, raised the questions of whether there was any proven need for 3 Boys’ Club in the town, and whether such a club would be a drain on the public purse. Mr. Shaw replied that it was usual for clubs to receive support from The Home Baking department was most popular and Mrs. J. M. The meeting- was presented The exhibit of the Naturalists society attracted much attention. It was convened by Dr. Lillian Langstaff and illustrated many phases of Nature Study. A fea- ture was the long reading table where visitors could consult the many handsome books on the subject. Very attractive ’bird houses were for sale. Tea Garden Grainger and (Let assistants held two sales, one\in the afternoon and one in the evening. Naturalists’ Exhibit After the induction ceremony, a short film of some of the recent school activities was shown by Miss D. Ketola. The meeting ended with the serving of re- freshments_ Mrs, M. Richardson was in charge of the draw and lucky winners carried home a hand- some martin house, a bird bath, rose bushes and other prizes. Displays with a motion asking that the new executive as elected be ac- cepted. This motion was passed and the executive was sworn in by the Rev. Wm. Askew_ The ex- ecutive for the year 1957â€"58 is as follows: President, Mr. A. R. Michell; vice-president, Mr. W. Stewart; 2nd vice-president. Mrs. V. Bishop; treasurer, Mr. D. Mar- ritt; corresponding secretary, Mrs. R. Locke; recording secret- ary, Mrs, C. Lewis. Executive members are Mrs. G. Harmon, Mrs. B. Green, Mrs. P. Irwin; Mr. A. Ketola and Mrs. W. Stewart. The Tea Garden was decorated with trellises of flowers, ever- greens and pots of tulips. In this setting, Mrs. E. Redelmeler, deftly assisted by a bevy of Girl Guides served refreshments. The Society was indebted to the Ralph W. Paris Hardware for a splendid display ofiv garden equipment and to the Mainprize Drug Store for one of photo- graphic equipment. In connec- tion with the latter, Mr. J. Long- worth gave advice and showed colour slides throughout the af- ternoon and evening. The officers and directors feel that the Fair was a success and wish to thank those who helped to make it so. It was an oppor- tunity of meeting and being of service to those who attended and the proceeds will enable the Society to proceed actively with their plans for horticultural ad- vancement in the neighbourhood. one or more service organiza- tions, and that clubs were usual- ly started by people interested in youth and concerned about its environment, rather than by making a statistical survey. The Chairman of the Recreation Com~ mittee, Mr. Ed. Butlin, added that there were a number of boys in the town that could be helped by such an organization. The Recreation Committee voted approval in principle for the es- tablishment of 3 Boys’ Club. Mr. Butlin reported that he had attended the York County Re- creation Group meeting at Aur- ora and that it had been a big success. He also announced that the provincial grants for recre- ation had been changed and that it would now be possible for the town to receive $4700 per year rather than $4200, since operat- ing and maintenance expenses had been made eligible for a 25% grant. The Recreation Committee appointed a committee of inquiry for the possible formation of a Senior Citizens Club. Tentatively appointed were Dr. Lillian Lang- staff. Mr. R. D. Little and Mr. Fred Hoover. Some discussion was held on the subject of tennis and badmin- ton for the coming season. Counâ€" cillor S. Tinker, who is a mem- ber of the Recreation Commit- tee, agreed to inform council as to what land might be needed for these purposes. at our local high school will be held this Saturday evening at 8:30. It will go by the name of the “Spring Fling". Girls are re- quested to wear a flower and the boys a sports jacket. As an add- ed attraction a local band group led by Bill Gibson from Thorn- hill will make their debut on our stage. Since we all liked the jive step that Ron Duncan dem- onstrated at a previous meeting, he has been asked to make a return visit and show those who were absent from his last ap- pearance, the basic movements of his wellâ€"liked dance step. So along with the latest hit records, the evening promises to be a real success so far as music is concerned_ Professor Donald V. Wade, Ph.D., of Knox College, Toronto, left his Thornhill home, accom- panied by his wife and daugh- ters, on April 3, for a period of sabbatical leave in the Far East. He will spend one month in Japan where he will give special lectures in the International Christian University at Tokyo, and in the Union Theological College. Dr. Wade will continue the jubilee celebration in sever- al Korean churches. His great ob- pect in going to the Far East is to assist in the developing of theological education in Formosa. He will make a study of their needs and lecture in both the Formosan theological colleges. In January, 1958, when he com- pletes his period with the For- mosan Christians, he will pros ceed to Hong Kong where he will do research work at the Buddhist monastery. Dr. Wade also plans to attend a strategic conference of theologicalprofessors to be held in Singapore during July and August. ' Following his lectures in Forâ€" mosa, Dr. Wade will proceed to Indonesia, Burma, India and pos~ sibly Pakistan. He wishes to obâ€" tain first-hand experience of the religions of the East, Hinduism. Buddhism and Mohammedanism, and will also visit the Indian missions. This will be of con- crete aid to Professor Wade in his work in the chair of Chris~ tian Ethics.

STARTING APRIL 8 For detailed information, phone The March Field trip of the Club was most outstanding and instructive under the leadership of Mr. R, Stanfield. The attend- ance was 26. Mr. Stanfield took us to the Wildlife Section of the Research Division at Maple. He gave a general summary of their work. followed by a question and answer period and discussion ab- out the many specimens which he had labelled and had on display. He described some of their spec- ial projects, for instance, the Beaver, Wolf. Deer and Marten. This is Icarried on in different sections of the province. The Wildlife Research Area at A1- gonquin Park is essentially an experimental area. New methods of wildlife management are tested there and then they are taken out to the districts where they may ultimately be applied. It was hard to decide what was the most interesting. The skulls and jawbones each had its own unique characteristics. The fur pelts varied in thickness depend- ing on when the animal was kill- ed and on its state of health. There were large jars containing the different stages of the emâ€" bryo of the deer and beaver. Also jars with difl'erent types of parasites taken from diseased animals. The group was only sorry there wasn’t a whole day ’instead of an afternoon because there was so much more that could have been learned. The Nature Booth at the Hor- ticultural Fair attracted a con- tinuous crowd. The diarama, made by the pupils of the King- horn Public School in 1955_ was loaned to the Naturalists, and, as Newmarket, R.

Other exhibits includ- ed an extensive collection of In- dian artefacts, polished driftwood. beaver cutting. a display of m different conifers with their cones, a terrarium, carved birds. fungus, wood grafts. forced blooms of the apple and dogwood, and butterfly, moth and rock col- lections. The many nature books displayed were in constant use. Many people mentioned that they have thought of coming to the Naturalsts meetings and field trips but they felt they didn't know enough. The Naturalists point out once more, that they are not a group of specialists. Most of the members are begin- ners, all with the one desire to enjoy the outdoors and learn more about it. Do come and get acquainted. ' The Club's next meeting is April 12. at 8 pm. The Horticul- tural Society is joining with the Naturalists to hear Mr. Percy Saltzman of the Meteorological Bureau of Toronto speak om"1n- struments of the Weather". Please note the change of date and place for this one meeting only. Also that 'we will start promptly at 8 o'clock. The April Field Trip will be on the 28th at 1:30 p,m. and dur- ing May there will be one at least each week. The hepaticas are now in bud and the following spring migrants have been seen: Cowbird, Purple Finch, Flicker. Bluebird, two Woodducks on the Mill St. Pond and the Swamp Tree Frog is singing. Spring has definitely begun. JIM SPENCER Naylor St., Maple Maple 247W
