FitzGerald What could be more startling to a congregation than the sug- gestion that their historic Church, the oldest in the village, be moved to a new and larger site? Such a suggestion was made to the Vestry of Holy Trinity Church. Thornhill in 1947. as one way of solving the pressing problems of parking. expensive repairs to the building, and the need of greater seating space. By March 1951 the proposal had become an estab- iished fact. and members were once more worshipping in the old white clanboard building. Only this time the familiar square tow- er. and front door. faced Yonge St. from a commanding site on Brook, at Jane St., which had been bought from Dr. Lorne Pierce.

"Well Sunday School was always held at 10 a.m. in the Church, and there were only one Or two teachers.

"The property which once he- longed to Benjamin Thorne is new owned by the Thornhill Golf Club. Today when the rish hall is crowded each Sun ay morning with eager children, and burns each week day with the activities of 14 church organizations and various youth groups such as the cubs, and scouts. it is hard to realize that Holy Trinity exâ€" isted for a century without a basement. or a hall.

Careful study has shown that 15 sq. ft. is the desirable minimum for one child. The Church school now has 2000 sq ft. and needs at least 6,000 sq. ft. in order to provide proper teach- ing facilities and conditions. Other suggested requirements in- clude a church office with facili~ ties, for secretarial work (the old Vestry is little more than a pas- sageway with three doors). rooms suitable for meetings of up to 50 people, additional wash. and cloak rooms, storage space for thefiif- forent Organizations, less cramped kitchen , quarters, and a more spaciousauditorium and hall for congregation meetings, bazaars ang community affairs. r Recognizing the need.for fu- ture expansion the lot to the south of.the church was pur- chased a year ago. and a com- mittee appointed to study the use of the land. Several special vestry meetings have been held, and on the recommendation of the Parish Council. the firm of Rounthi’vaite and Fairchild was asked 'to study the suggested needs of the Parish. and to pre- pare t‘entative plans of a new building to supplement the pres- enrtrparish hall. to give serious consideration to the very urgent need of extra accommodation for the Church school which now has an enrol- ment of 400 pupils, and can ex- That was seven years ago. and in the interim the continued growth of the village has result- ed in a new set of problems, and another somewhat startling pro- posal.

Dis- mantling of the 120 year old buildin began in the early sum- mer o 1950, following a brief and poignant service of “de- conseeration.” Each board and timber was numbered, and all deteriorating wood was discard- ed. When the momentous task had been successfully completed the members of Holy Trinity be- lieved that the church was equip- ped for another century of serv- ice. ‘ Plans for the enlarged church and the ’parish hall were drawn by’ Mr. Sidney Kefiland, archi- tect member of the parish,‘and great grandson of Wm.

The Catholic Women’s League at St. Luke’s in Thornhill had a very interesting guest speaker at the annual Pot Luck Supper on October 20th. Mrs. M. A. Marty- niuk introduced Father Egbert Gossart, pastor of St. Gabriel's Church on Shepherd Ave. He spoke of the dangers to which our young people are exposed and emphasized the need for parents to provide watchful care and counsel to the children confided to parents’ care by God. He men- tioned how much more available in the last few years to parents are good books. r cords. and leaf- lets on moral ins ruction. making it so much easier to impart this information t children. The executive of the lst Thorn- h‘ill Cub and Scout Mothers’ Aux- iliary held a tea Tuesday after. noon at the United Church ‘for the Cub and Scout mothers. The tea was convened by Dorothy Mc- Donaugh. Two past presidents, Margaret Mollard and Billy Ma- ver poured tea. The president, Pat Lambert, announced that the monthly meetings would be held on the 3rd Tuesday of the month at 2 pm. in the church instead of the 4th Monday evening of the month as before. Badminton The Thornhill Badminton Club has opened its fall season and will be active Tuesday and Thurs- day evenings at Thornhill High School from 8 to 10.30 pm. Any- one interested in joining could contact Mrs. J. H. Kearns, AV. 5- 1498. ' It was announced there will be a Mass for Father Crossland‘s mother who died recently in Bar- rie, on November 8th at 8 o’clock. The preparations for the bazaar to be held on November 6th by the ladies of the parish are being finalized. Bishop F. A. Marrocco, Auxiliary Bishop of Toronto, will open it at 2.30 in the afternoon and it will an into the evening when games will supplement the booths. An interestingiarray of goods are- being .offered..for sale in many booths. Father Egbert was thanked for the ladies by Mrs. D. J. Camer- on. The Catholic Women’s League had a very brief meeting with Mrs. C. T. Enright in the chair. She warmly welcomed new mem- bers present {or the first time. The Social Service Committee also reported an urgent need for Children’s clothing. particularly children's shoes and overshoes. These are to be left at the parish hall and will be delivered to the Immigration Depot. Mr. T. Whelan was thanked by the ladies for the workhe has done to renovate the kitchen of the church hall. He has given many long hard hours of labour and the parish is very gratefuh Mrs. E. J. Surett in charge of the drivers for the Children's Aid reported ,a need for assistance in driving the foster children to clin- ics, and volunteers were request- ed. There will be a snack bar as well as a tea room. Several raffles Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Simp‘son Albion Close, are on a three-week motor trip to San Francisco.

Then the church driving sheds were torn down to make room for a sub- stantial red brick hall, designed by St. Clair Hurlburt. and built by Mr. Wm. Riddell. for some- what over $10,000. (Water and plumbing were put in at a much later date). When completed in 1929 the hall was a credit to the church but also something of a luxury. It was not in great de- mand as a community hall beâ€" cause of the lack of parking, and the steep hill which tended to isolate it from the centre of the village. During the depression years the mortgage payments were a heavy burden to the small congregation, but the debt was finally cleared in 1943. largely due to the unceasing efforts of the Womens Club, formed for that purpose. Their strivings were not lost for without the $22,000 gain- ed by sale of the hall to the Davey Tree Co. it would not have been possible to move Holy Trinity to a large site. The hall was later resold by the Davey Tree Co. to the Thorn- hill Baptist Church which uses the de-consecrated ground of Trinity Church for parking. Thomh ill Notes The Thornhill Baptist Women's Association held its regular monthly meeting Tuesday. Oc- tober 21, at the church with the president, Mrs. H. Ellam presid- ing.

Plan now to attend each service. School New- LANGSTAFF Mrs. C. B. Atkinson, who con- fessed that she had wanted to see something of the sort at the school for several years. was the very able convenor of the affair. She was assisted in rounding up some of the hobbyists. and in arranging the exhibits. by H as: S member, Mrs. P. Townshend Carter. who has the Artisans’ Ba- zaar at the Farmers’ Market. 01'- iginality and expert craftsman- ship were everywhere in evi- dence, and the display proved an interesting and stimulating mix- ture of school children’s hobby collections. and the skills of post- war residents, and “oldtimers”. Quilting comes naturally to Mrs. S. Whitmore because her mother was an expert. The little quilts which she designed and made for her grandchildren Were very much liked, so she continues to make- them as a pin-money hobby. Indominitable little Mrs. Ber- that Woolley, a sufierer from ar- thritis since 1931, finds crochet- ing good exercise for her hands, and has made many handsome crocheted table covers similar to the two shovm. I am very grateful for the splendid Adult Education pro- gram in Canada”. said Swedish born Mrs. Alla Bjorkman, who took a course in ceramics at the Central Technical School, Toron- to. ten years ago, and was show- ing some 0£~ her attractiye pot- tery.‘ "I like to, .make mixing bowls. vases and casseroles, things that are useful as well as decor- ative. Besides I think food taste: The spun linen place mats and the blue wool coat. woven and tailored by Mrs. Owen Cassidy reminded us of the many. many beautiful things she has made on her loom during the past 20 years. Mrs. E. M. Blackburn, who had attractive scarves. mats. fib- re bags, and a fibre rug in the show, learned to weave about 18 years ago, and has since given up her beauty parlor in order to devote all her time to this an- cient art. She also gives lessons in weaving. Miss Janet Hall, whose grandfather was a weaver of Paisley shawls in Scotland, had brought her “inkle” loom, for making belts. to the exhibi- tion, but she is also proficient on other types of looms. Miss Hall was a teacher of recreation for 101’; years. at the John Ross Rob- ertson School in Toronto. Since then many of the local craftsmen and artists have mov- ed away. or died, and the village has grown to the point where one no longerzknows all “the neigh- bours. even by sight. Whenwe learned theta handicraft and hobby show was being held in connection with the Thornhill Home and School Association meeting. we slippedin to have a look around. Had our presence been questioned we would have traded on a pre»war membership in Thornhill H a; S. and a little granddaughter in this year's kin- dergarten. Though primarily curious to see what was being done, there came an urge to write a little about the clever people whose work was on View. Two very successful fund rais- ing Handicraft Fairs were held by the Thornhlll Red Cross at the home of the Misses Boyle on Cen- tre Street. and in 1946 the W.A. of Holy Trinity Church sponsor- ed a third in their parish hall (now Thornh‘ill-Baptist Church), which featured demonstrations in silverâ€"smithing, spinning, weav ing. square knotting, leathercraft. whittling, flower arrangement, and linoleum‘block cutting and printing. . (by Doris M. FitzGeI-ald) Away back in 1943 we did a series of articles for “The Liber- al" called "Hobbies. interesting things that people in our district are doing". There was much to write about for many expert needleworkers. quilters and rug hookers lived in the Thornhill area; and a sprinkling of artists, and other talented men and wo- men had moved here from-the city. All were thankful to have creative hobbies to turn to‘ for a brief respite ,during the .tense war years. - To Mrs. L. T. Redman, con- vener, go heartiest congratula- tions from a very pleased mem- bership of Thornhill and District Association for Retarded Chil- dren. However, Mrs. Redman persists in the opinion that everybody else did 'it, and she wishes to thank all those who so generously contributed ‘to the success, among them the York Farmers‘ Market Board for their gift of 'the premises. Mr. John Graham and radio station CJRH for their helpful broadcasts, the Mrs. A. E. F.

Mr. Lin- ton. a Toronto stockbroker with Hevenor & Co., has been a pho- tographer for 14 years. does a lot of colour work now. and is often called upon to take wed- ding pictures for friends.

Bernard Mendoza had left a note to the effect that for the amateur photographer a sound knowledge of the technique of handling a camera, and of developing a film. was more important than an ex- pensive camera. Mr. Mendoza. a licensed commercial pilot. first became greatly interested in photography when flying planes for photographic surveys. and he learned the value of pictures as records when participating in a sales promotion trip. He is now taking a course in photography with the intention of becoming a professional photographer. The decorative wirework fish, the dagger (ground from a warn out file), and the;.musicians’ sil- houette. cut from display board, drew lots of favourable com- ment. According to their maker, Eric Winter, they demonstrate what can be done with “bits and pieces", and, also, that to be at- tractive and pleasing to the eye, an object need not be made of expensive material. Mr. Winter, a cabin-st designer by profession. is also blessed with deft fingers, and does‘ not stick to any partic- ular medium. He likes to create things as needed, such as the fish, which was made for a blank wall space. R. E. Bowley. a research chem- ist at Falconbridge Nickle Mines Laboratory, was content with oil painting, woodworking and pho- tography as spare time hobbies until three years ago, when he paid a week-end visit to his ar- tist mother, and became interest- ed in her newest venture, enam- elling on copper. She assisted him in buying supplies. and gave him some pointers, and he has been happily engaged ever since mak- ing costume jewellery, little box- es, etc. Mr. Bowley prefers to ex- periment with his own ideas and designs, rather than use pre-cut copper or stock patterns. 7 years and under.

A MASTER DRY & FITTING Webbing Following a wedding'trip to New York and Bermuda the hap- py pair are now living in their new home, built by the groom. on Clarke Ave. The mother of the bride re- ceived the wedding guests Wear~ ing a dress of brocaded satinjq Dior blue with matching accebs~ cries, and a corsage of pink ros- es. She was assisted by the groom's mother who wore a gown of printed satin and a‘tor- sage of white gardenias. History repeated itself again. at the wedding reception held at St. Andrew‘s Golf Club for 100 guests, when the bride and groom cut the wedding cake with the knife the bride's mother and father had used at their wedding. Mr. Rowland Dix of Pennsyl~ vania was best man and Messrs. Peter Priestman and Norman R1- chmond were ushers. But her neighbours haven't forgotten her.
