Garland of the Mater- ials committee (publicity etc.) A tentative sketch showing the ap- proximate location and size of the hall has been submitted by Rounthwaite & Fairfield. This architectural firm has designed the Stratford Festival tent, and permanent building, St. Luke’s Anglican Cathedral in Sault Ste Marie, and a number of other Churches, as well as hospitals in Oshawa. Both Mr. C. F. T. Rounthwaite and Mr. R. C. Fair- fieid are members of Holy Trin- ity. Because the large gathering could not be accommodated in Holy Trinity Church hall. the Thornhill United Church kindly made their splendid new hall and kitchen available, and ten of their women members, who were fam- iliar with the dish washing mach- ines, were on hand to do the dish- es.

Yonge Street, The basis of the Sector pro- gram is “participation”, explain- ed General Convener R. C. Nap- ier in his introductory address to the meeting. Stating that every member, of the Church is needed, and should take part in some cap- acity, he cited the dinner as a good example of what can be ac- complished by co-operation. Those who had helped in any way were asked to stand, and as groups of letter mailers, telephon- ers. table setters, kitchen helpers. turkey cookers, hostesses and do- ners of food, rose to their feet it became apparent that practically all the women present, and not a few men, had had a hand in the §proceedings. Unseen, but making their own special contribution as baby sitters so that parents could attend, were 16 teen age members of the Church. “However,” Mr. Napier contin- ued, the dinner meeting had been called to consider the findings of the program committee (convened by R. V. Tyson and J. M. Adamâ€" N. C. Hill) there was a short ser- vice, and the Rev. Logan Varey, curate of Holy Trinity read the Parable of the Talents, from the Gospel in Modern English, by the Rev. J. B. Phillips. l-3I33 .JMJI Trinity Church. A financial drive to In an inSpiring address the rector described Holy Trinity as a dynamic Church with a history of past achievements, which had now reached a turning point. It could continue to grow, or it could become static-because of “a cramped program. He felt confi- dent that the congregation could meet this challenge easily, if they sincerely wished to do so. “Not every Church. has been so bless- ed" nor had he ever worked in a parish where there was so much talent, he said. Reviewing the parable of the talents he stressed the fact that it was not the degree of talent, or wealth. that one pos- sessed that counted. butlthe wil- lingness to use what one had for the furtherance of God‘s work. Mr. R; V. Tysan then presented the report of the program com- mittee, commenting that he could but re-iterate the points brought up by Mr. Napier. As Superinten- dent of the Church School he was naturally gravely concerned about the present lack of space. son) and the resources committee (convened by R. E. Priestman, as- sisted by R. C. Byford and F. D. Jennings). These two committees comprising about 80 people had been formed to give careful study (in conjunction with the rector, and wardens) to the present and future needs of the parish. They had draWn up a Church budget for 1959, and a proposal for the urgently needed parish hall. Using a chart, Resources Chair- man R. E. Priestman presented a percentage analysis of Church gi- ving, and said that the Objective set was consistent with the'knoWn financial potential. A sound film strip “Through the Looking Glass” was shown to illustrate what had been accom- plished in another community. To Singapore Dr. R. Steefie Of Thornhill Doctor Steele has been practic- ing medicine since 1951 in Thorn- hill and since its inception, has been working at the Branson Hos- pital. A few years ago. the doc- tor was a teacher. He enlisted in the R.C.A.F. and put in four years in their medical corps. When he returned home, he went back to school to become a doctor with the express purpose of becoming a medical imisisionary for hi; church. Dr. Robert Steele of Thornhill has been appointed to the Yong- berg Memorial Hospital in Singa- pore as a medical missionary for the Seventh Day Adventists. Now that the Bransonv Hospital is established. Doctor Steele is quite happy with his new five year appointment. He will be tak- ing his wife and three children with him on the long ti'ip, and expects to leave within the next few weeks. After the five, year term. he will get a one year‘fur- Iough, and hopes to return here for a visit at that time. Until such time as a new man can be appointed. Dr. Brown on Yonge Street at Connaught will handle Doctor Steele's grivate practice. ‘ ‘ This Sunday, Doctor Steele will be preaching at the service in the Willowdale Seventh Day Ad~ ventist Church at Bathurst and Finch. Since this will be his t'inal sermon in Canada, this dedicated humanitarian is looking forward to seeing all his friends in the congregation.

Corner of Thornhill and N0. 7 Highway La Grove Crafts Wags/10 'l”illii% 10/; Last week the Cancer Hostel, a great boon for patients from out of town, receiving treatment at the Princess Margaret Hospi- tal was officially opened. We, in Thornhill, are reminded by this that patients in our district do not need to stay in the hostel be- cause it is possible for them to make daily trips from their 'homes. The Cub Mothers Auxiliary of' the lst Thornhill Cub and Scouts met Tuesday afternoon in the Un- ited Church at 2 pm. Dr. E. B. Eddy installed the new executive for 1959, who are as follows: president. Mrs. Bill Lambert; vice-president, Mrs. Donald Mc- Crae; treasurer. Mrs. 'Robert Tamblyn; recording secretary, Mrs. D. Jarrell: corresponding secretary, Mrs. Clayton Atkinson; food convenor for mothers, Mrs. Robert Law. food convenor for boys. Mrs. Bruce Henderson: sewing convenor. Mrs. Herb Rog- ers; telephone convenors. Mrs. Lloyd Magee. Mrs. Alfred Eccle- stone. Mrs. Leonard Lee. Mrs. Hartley Stoddart and Mrs. Wajna. However the business of get- ting from home to hospital can be rather involved, as the patâ€" ient, perhaps convalescing from a recent operation cannot always make the trip by public trans- portation. Also the treatments are usually in the form of a course of treatments daily for two or three weeks. It is not therefore possible for the wage earner in the family to stay home from work in order to drive the pat- ient to hospital. Because of this the Thornhill Branch of the Can- cer Society is anxious to build up a core of drivers who would be available perhaps ‘once a month to drive residents of the district to the Princess Margaret Hospital. In the past this driving has been done by a few volun- teers but, largely by Mrs. Ruth Foran who had volunteered her services at a time when little driving was being done. The band went last week to see the De LaSalle band give a dem- onstration to a new band, which is forming in the area. It proved to be good experience for the boys in the band, who tried hard The guest speaker was Mrs. Alfred Standing.

After this the meeting was dismissed, and the boys left, re- ceiving an apple at the door to plug any holes left by the cake and apple juice. Since cancer cures could be doubled if this type of remedial and preventive treatment is car- ried out. the cancer society feels it should and could build up such to find mistakeé made bryfifijl; De LaSalle players. Last Thursday. the troop had its annual Birthday Party. There was a full schedule for the even- ing; beginning with the regular meeting. shortened to some de- gree. At about 9.30 the boys sat down to receive a piece of cake. and some apple juice. As soon as the eating was finished, the boys gathered and had their pic- ture taken.
