It was givenwith some other interesting family relics, by Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Stephenson of Richmond Hill. M'r. Stephenson, and his daughter Anne, who is winning international acclaim for her beautiful soprano voice, are direct descendants of Justus and Mary Reynolds, as is Mr. Gordon Clarry, President of Society. Members of a number of other families, long resident in the district, have contributed imple-. ments, tools, furniture, and doc- uments, all more than a hundred years old, thus greatly assisting the Museum in its purpose. This is to record for future genera- tions the pioneer era in Ontario, and an almost forgotten way of life. Exhibits have been ar- ranged as if for use, in attrac- tive groupings. The sugar bush scene for instance is so realis- tic that a small bird has made a nest in one of the trees. Shav- ings lie on the floor of the car- pentry shop, as though someone had just been using one of the big planes, but the Snider men, who made most of the tools, have been dead for many years. Tools and the huge bellows are in readiness beside the forge in the smithy, where there are many examples of the blackâ€" smith’s art. A replica of the kit- chen-living room, which was the heart of every settler’s home has been arranged, and everywhere there are reminders of the work and of the skills employed by the pioneers from sunup until sunset, in order to obtain the the York Pioneer Historical necessities of life. Awe and ad- miration are evoked by the great hand hewn beams in the 150 year old log barn which provides a mellow and appropriate setting for the treasures of the past. Mrs. R. H. Neil of Thornhill, an authority on early Canadian furnishings and customs. who is also blessed with great initiative and energy, was responsible for setting up the Pioneer Museum, and for collecting much of the material. She is leaving soon with her husband, R. H. Neil, Q. C. to spend a year abroad, and during that time hopes to visit a number of museums. Mr. Albert Colucci is begin- ning his second year as able Curator of the museum, and his assistant this summer is Mr. Gordon Miles, a fourth year sltudent of History at the U. of The Pioneer Museum is now open for the season every day except Tuesday, from 2 to 8 m. and is situated on the west side of Jane St. just north of Steeles’ Avenue, and is sponsorâ€" ed by the Metropolition Toronto and Region Conservation Auth- ority. Coloured Film Depicts Average School Day Of Retarded Child The film “This is Thornhaven” was shown at the regular month- ly meeting of the Thornhill and District Association for Retarded Children, held at the temporary school on Bayview Ave. "This is Thornhaven" is an excellent coloured sound film de- picting the average school day of a retarded child. It shows re- tarded children who, not so many years ago were left to sit at home because they were considered in- capable of learning, being taught to read, write and even do sim- ple arithmetic. In addition they are taught co-ordination by games, dancing and marching. Speech therapy is also given when needed. However the main thing is that they are learning to get along with one another. The film showed the many so- cial events that form part of their curriculum. For example, every child has a birthday party at school with what in most in- stances are his or her only friends. A swimming expedition at the Thornhill Pool was inter- esting to see and also the annual school picnic with real ponies. an exciting event for any child How these children love to so to school? Their expression< hf delight prove that they are cw: . ‘ York. their normal brothers and sistczx. ' joying the same privllcgcs as This makes the effort that has to be put forth to make it all poss- ible well worth while. Several new parents of l‘ciar(l~ ed children from Richmond Hill were present at the meeting and enjoyed seeing the film and mee- ting other parents with the same problems. Guests for the evening were Ali‘s. D. Price pad President of the Walter Scott Home .8.- Schooll St Association, Richmond Hill, and Mrs. G. Smith. kindergarten tea- cher at the Walter Scott School. Both expressed pleasure ill the film and at seeing the children‘s work that was on display. Mrs. Armstrong, one of the orâ€" iginal founders of Thornhaven. was also present at the meeting. It was a thrill for her to see how Thornhaven has advanced in the past four years and she with many others is anticipating the day when these children will have their own permanent school building with no fears of being denied the privileges that rightâ€" fully are theirs. In order that we may contin- ue to serve this area approxim- ately $50,000 is needed for a new and larger school. The presâ€" ent campaign for funds being carried on by the Rotary Club in northern Metro will not bene- fit childrcn presently attending Thornhaven as no child will be admitted to their school from outside Metropolitan Tornto.

A week ago last Saturday and Sunday were the days for the troop's 24th of May camp. It had the largest turnout of any such camp, 26 people. The week end was well spent at such things as tests, a campfire, a treasure hunt and a church parade. The week-end was not marred by weather as is usually the case, but a little rain did fall Satur- day night. Everyone fared fairly well, except the leaders who had to pass some cooking tests by tasting the scouts' food. On Sun- day afternoon the boys at the camp went to Richmond Hill. where along with other boys and leaders the district church par- ade was held. There were 35 out on this and all were provided with a bottle of pop after the hot walk. Following this the boys from the camp, and their fath- ers, went back to clean up and go home. There seems no need to say everybody had a good time The band practice on Wednesday R.

This seemed to prove the old saying. “everybody likes a band" for everyone seemed to be wat- ching. After this the band play- ed while the cubs were present- cd with a stuffed wolf's head for their totem pole. This was an important occasion as the cubs have been without a wolf‘s head for over a year. The band will continue practicing throughout the summer every Wednesday, although the troop meetings will soon end. The last regular troop meeting was held last Thursday. For the next few weeks hikes and baseball games will be held instead. Money for summer camp will have to be in this week, for with the record attendance a great deal of preparation will be necessary.
