The presentation was started with Mr. Chelew and Mrs. Neale in Role Play showing how children catch adults cover- ing up “white lies." Our example of living is the training our child- ren receive and they watch the role being played in society. We might well ask “Are Moral Values taught or caught?"

Dr. Hogg chose. “An Astron- omer Visits Russia" as the title for her address and as she unfold- ed the many interesting facets of that memorable trip â€"â€" made last summer to Russia with fellow scientists of the International As- tronomers Union â€" her audience listened to every word with rapt interest.

Clasps of surprise were audible all over the large hall of the lovely new Christian Education Centre, where the Valentine lun- cheon was held. as Dr. Hogg told of a side trip to Samarkand by jet when 2,100 miles were covered in three and a half hours. “Three things stand out in the U.S.S.R..” the speaker continued, “Production. education and science.

She remarked on the hard work done by the Russian women and said that although during their visit they saw no lawn mowers in use, the grass at the University was kept cutâ€" by women using scythes. Con- trolled economy was one of the things that hit the visitor most forcibly. Flowers were not ob- tainable except in summertime. kleenex and such luxuries were just not on the market â€" while the prices of such things as a green apple or small pear. or chocolate bar were prohibitive. costing 70c for one apple. $1.20 for a pear and $1.70 for a chocâ€" olate bar. Leningrad Russia has many curious cus- toms, according to those who have visited that country and Dr. Hogg told her listeners about a trip to Leningrad where “We could go ‘up' in elevators, but not ‘down’. one had to walk downstairs to i save power." In Leningrad at the Hermitage museum the visitors saw the throne of Peter the Great, made with one and a half tons of pure silver; 3 map of precious jewels worth $45,000 -â€" whose boundar- ies had been re-done in the last few’ years to conform to “chang- es.’ Dove of Peace “ I heard more talk about peace inside Russia than I,have- ever heard since."

Perkins has been named by Mayor Tomlin as head of a special council com- mittee on parking in Richmond Hill. Other members of the com- mittee are Deputy-reeve S. F. Tinker and Councillor W. J.

The formation of a special comâ€" mittee to encourage off-street parking in the Yonge St. business area was suggested in the recent report to council by the Town Assessment Commissioner, Rob- ert Johnston. The report pointed out that the continued prosperity and development of the business section depended on the provision of adequate facilities for off- street parking. Markham Township Council met with representatives of Wal- Don Developments Monday morn- ing regarding the drainage for their proposed 120 acre subdivis- ion at Unionville. The subdividers had originally objected to councils insistence on storm sewers, curbs and gutters as too costly. On Monday they proposed a system of open drain- age with catch basins and partial gutters. Reeve W. L. Clark stron- gly opposed any such scheme. As a compromise council agreed to reduce the required frontage on lots from 100 feet to 75 feet in return for the subdivider install- ing storm sewers, curbs and gut- ters. Council had previously ag- reed to waiVe the usual fee per lot as the subdivider is to install a municipal water system. The plan will now be forwarded to the Metro Planning Board for ap- proval. - Mr. A. Harrington, owner of the Unionville Planing Mill, told council a system of open drain- age if permitted would only re- sult in flooding. If storm sewers were put in he agreed to grant an easement across his property. STOP 22A'YONGE ST.
