,Mr. Boynton Weldrick is well versed in district doings for he was born on his father's farm at the south-west corner of Yonge St. and the Langstaff side road, and, besides farming himself for years in Thornhill, he has been active in local politics, serving for 4 years as Vaughan township councillor, 8 years as Deputy- reeve, and 5 years (1943-48) as afieeve of Vaughan township, and piling up a record for acclama- tions. However, he had just come' indoors when we telephoned, and his thoughts were about wintery weather. He recalled a particular~ ly'vheavy snow fall in 1907 or ’08 when the Metropolitan Radial line ‘ tdli Thornhill was blocked for a‘ week, and it took a month to‘ clear'the line to Newmarket. All the local farmers were called out to dig snow and were paid from 75_to_ 90 cents‘a day.

The members then enjoyed the film “The Littlest Candle That Knelt.” Mrs. R. Priestman gave a delightful reading: The W.A. of Holy Trinity Angliâ€" can Church held its annual Christmas party in the church hall December 11th. The newly elected president, Mrs. E.‘ Lean. welcomed the members and guests. The church hall having been decorated for a Y.P.A. Christmas dance lent a festive air to the occasion. Rev. and Mrs. W. Askew showed a group of slides of England’s beautiful countryside and of Canada’s wes- tern scenery. ' Many daintin wrapped gifts and a substantial sum of money were received for the two elder- ly ladies at Strachan House in whom the W.A. has an interest. Mrs. L. Redmond served delicious refreshments to end another love- ly Christmas party. Residents of Thornhill will be sad to learn of the sudden pass- ing of Mr. Charles Haime, in Pen- zance, Cornwall, England. Mr. and Mrs. Haime, together with their sixteen year old son ‘John lived in Thornhill for five years prior to their returning to Eng- land in July last. Mr. Haime was engaged in the painting and dec- orating business while in Thorn~ hill, and very active in the Boy Scout movement, attending the Anglican Church in Thornhill, where Mrs. Haime was a member of the church choir. Xmas Party For Thornhill born Miss Lillian Francis the winter calls to mind many jolly seighing parties in big sleds warmly packed with straw. There was always the cheerful jingle of bells, and lots of singing as the runners slid over the snow, and at the end of the drive a good hot supper. Often she said four horse teams would bring sleighâ€" ing parties from the city to attend an entertainment at one of the local churches. Her father, Mr. J. E. Francis, a citizen who needs no introduction, remembers an amusing incident in this connec- tion which took place more than 60 years ago before he moved to Thornhill. He was born on the a yea" when the snow at Steele’s and Yonge, always a bad spot for drifting, was 12 feet deep. All traffic was blacked but she and a group of friends snowshoed over the glistening, unmarked expanse to Newtonbrook and back. After the Metropolitan yadial snow plow had been along, a lot of people used to drive and sleigh ride between the rails she said. Sleighing Parties Miss Hazel Welsh who grew up on the family farm on the west side of Morgan’s hill remembers Another resident, who prefers to be unnamed, recalls with nos- talgia the wonderful sledding and bobsleighing on Yonge Street be- fore the valleys were graded and filled. “You could start at the top of the north hill and be car- ried almost to the top of the next one (by the Presbyterian Church). Then for a change you could walk orlhitch a ride up Morgan’s hill and coast down that. Traffic? No, there was never any to worry about. Twelve Foot Drifts sleigh would 'often swerve south of the highway and cut across the fields to and from Concord,” he said.

Christmas has come and gone for another year, and the children will be kept busy and amused until the newness of the toys and games wears off. Every year at Christmas, we are beseiged from all sides with the thought that Christmas has become too com- mercialized and that with each succeeding year the true meaning of Christmas diminishes. We far- ed well at our house, but the best gift of all was not something to wear or use, but a word of mouth offering from our four year old daughter. Tearing around the house on a shiny new tricycle, she came to an abrupt stop and pricked the shining bubble of happiness of this correspondent with the words “This Christmas is not as nice as last year’s.” With a sinking heart and hesitatipg voice, I put_ forth the necessary Correspondent: Mrs. M.

Miss Jean Brillinger recalled a little incident in connection with the paving of No. 7 High- way which happened when she was a small child, and still amus- es the family. Jean the youngest of Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Brillinger’s 8 chidren was born after the family moved from Concord to the house now owned by druggist Hal Harley. Mr. Brillinger, a blacksmith, opened a garage at the south end of Findlay’s hotel, and his two youngest sons be- came pro eniciftrdsrveifa70f w came proficient drivers at a very early age. When the work of pav- ing No. 7 began in 1925 or ’26 the boys were pressed_into service to drive gravel trucks. Cyril An- drew was so small and slight that he had to be propped up behind the wheel of the truck. When Mr. Wice noticed him going by he shouted “Watch out, here comes Barney Oldfield”, and the nickname Barney has stuck to this day. Long time village residents Mr. and Mrs. James Fisher enjoy square dancing and used to at- tend Friday square dances for 150 to 200 people in the ball- room of Hughes, which later be- came Findlay’s Hotel. The callers were the late Major Dean and Frank Smith. This picturesque old frame hotel which was burn- ed to the ground in 1950, was op- erated for many years by owner Saunders Findlay and his wife, and lastly by Nelson, Mr. and Mrs. Saunders Findlay’s son and his wife. Mr. Talbert Findlay ran the barber shop in the hotel, and was for a long time the only barber in Thornhill. Perhaps be- cause she was so busy with board- ers and meals, Mrs. Talbert Find- lay says she cannot recall any- thing special about the hotel. However, we remember that on a cold winter day 24 years ago we ate our first meal in Thornhill, and a very appetizing one, in the hotel dining room which was cos- ily heated with a stove. Mrs. Wilfred Ball whose father, Dr. Nelles, was a Thornhill phys- ician, remembers the annual 12th of July parade in the village in which for several years Miss Wice (an aunt of Mr. Roy Wice) rode a white horse.

Bitter cold and high wind kept attend- ance rather small for the Sunday School concert on Friday even- ing. A well presented Pageant of the Nativity, written by Mrs. Cummer Lee brought into one act all the pupils of the Sunday School. Several of the choir members joined in the carols which formed a background for the tableaux. The Tyro boys had an amusing presentation of the Night before Christmas, with Albert Leek as jolly old St. Nick. Three senior girls presented “Three Old Maids of Lee”. Two amusing skits, written and dir- ected by Mrs. Ben Terry took care of the teachers and Bible class members, and provoked quite a few chuckles. A film strip “Taro’s A goodly number of parents and friends turned out for the annual concert and Christmas tree of S. S. 3 last Thursday evening. Proceedings opened with “The Queen” to the accompaniment of the Rhythm Band, followed by folk dancing, recitations and di- alogues. A quite ambitious play was presented appreciably under extreme difficulties. The two leading male characters were ab- sent; and so Mrs. Frazer pressed into service John Rumble and Terry Morrison, two pupils of last year who are now attending High School, to read the parts of the absent actors. Everything then was fine. Genial old Santa Claus dropped in with his bag full of presents and the youngsters went home happily to enjoy the longest Christmas vacation in years.

Mrs. Joyce and Mrs. Acreman joined a goodly number of bow- lers of the Richmond Rollers Lea- gue for luncheon at the Richmond Grill on Thursday last before the game, at which the prizes were distributed. Misses Mary George and Dor- othy Baker distributed bags of Christmas treats to the children, generously supplied by the young people. The Sunday School children and the teachers went out at their accustomed time and had a Christmas gathering. Mr. Bert Middleton read the Christmas story taken from Mathew, then Christmas carols were sung. San- ta arrived to add to the occasion and distributed gifts to the chil- dren and some of the books given to the younger classes from the Sunday school. Dr. Eddy after the service joined the children and teachers, along with some of the parents, and presented the older claSs with their books. The W.A. had placed Christmas flowers in the church and later they were sent to the Villa” to beAenjoyed by the patients. Dr. Eddy had prepared a spec- ial Christmas calendar with a very lovely and meaningful Christmas message to all. Dr. Eddy was in charge of the service and his Christmas mess- age was “The simple Gospel of Christmas”. The Carrville girls’ choir sang two anthems, “Away in a Manger", and Silent Night.” Sunday, December 21, was the Christmas service at Carrville, with a large congregation in at- tendance to celebrate the birth of Christ many long years ago.

For the first time in the mem- ory of your correspondent, now almost 30 years, Christmas ser- vice at Headford was not held in the church, but in the Sunday school room.

Deadline This Holiday Special Sale - Until Saturday, January 3 Our HOLIDAY SPECIAL SALE RICH-HILL MOTORS. lTD. “The Home of Trouble Free Used Cars" Each one of us has the same number'of hours in the day and months in the year and sometimes many more years in life than the greatest of God’s saints. The difference lies in the way we .use time. Haven’t you found that you can find the time to do the things you really desire? So let us during 1959 resolve to deepen the spiritual part of our lives by.really taking the time to attend worship, to read and study the scrip- tures and to be active in the church of our choice. I can assure you that will mean for you and yours a Happy 1959. As you make your resolutions for 1959 I would like to suggest something for you to bear in mind. Fre- quently people say to me such things as -â€" “I should ‘read my Bible more”, “I really must go to church more frequently”, “One of these days I would like to do some- thing worth while in my church and. community”. When they say this I feel they are just saying something without too much thought of really putting it into prac- tice. We are fortunate in having time broken up into years because each year comes to us as a fresh start in life. We begin each year with high resolve and although some of our resolutions may not last very long before they are broken and forgotten at least we do aspire to a new kind of life. ' A HAPPY NEW YEAR! That is the greeting we are hearing and saying frequently these daysv What do we mean by it? I suppose we mean a happy holiday on January 1. But surely more is implied. We are wish- ing a year in which the person is happy and that means not only good health and prosperity but also a sense of fulfilment and accomplishment. ' You and I should do the same today: we should look back over the old year that is going out, and look for- ward in prospect to the New Year that is coming in. Not to hallow the past, but simply to be grateful for its blessings and profit by its mistakes! Not to be fearful of the future, but simply to see it in perspective, that we may write‘on the clean, white pages, only what is vital, beneficent and true. ‘ Janus had one advantage over all 'the other gods of Rome: he had two heads! So that, without even turn- ing his head, he could look both ways at once to watch thOSe who were coming in, and those who were going out. by Rev. Earl B. Eddy Thornhill United Chuf’ch ’ In ancient mythology Janus was the god of begin- nings, doorways, and gates. So we haVe named the first month of the New Year January, after him; the begin- ning of 1959. ' It is my prayer that you may know this certainty. It is born of faith. Where there is no faith in the future, there is no power in the present. Commit your life to the Living God who holds all thingsin His hands, and you will enter this New Year with radiant hope which no trial or sorrow or disappointment can destroy. , But there are those who have found a sense of deep security in the midst of all the uncertainty of the future. Lincoln Steffens in his autobiography has a line which bespeaks the conviction of the Christian, “I have been over into the future and it works”. The Christian believes in the future, because our God is the “same, yesterday, today and forever”. What we have found God to be in the past and in the present, we know He will be in the years which lie ahead. Our Christian faith works -â€" already we share in the triumphs of God. The foundations of the earth may crumble; man may des- troy himself and this planet by atomic warfare, but the Christian believes that nothing can permanently frus- trate the purposes of God. We look longingly to the future, hoping for that “glorious re-appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.” Whatever the future holds, we know that God is in the future. His light has invaded our world in Jesus Christ, and al- ready we share in the Life of the Ages. by Rev. Calvin H. Chambers Thornhill Presbyterian Church Is it wise for man to trust-the future? There are many who would say “no”. “Trust no future howe’er pleasant”, writes Longfellow. “The past is like a funâ€" eral gone, the future comes like an unwelcome guest”, writes another. In Kitty Foyle, by Morley, cynicism reaches a high peak in the words, “the enemies of the future are always the nicest people”. Thesestatements reflect the thinking and the feeling of vast numbers of people today, as they contemplate the coming New Year. There is a dread, a fear, a reluctance to face what the coming days may offer. . PONTIAC OR BUICK by Rev. Wm. E. Askew, Rector of Holy Trinity Church, Thomhill ’ear 6 'rom continued J Jim!
