It was with a deep sense of loss that we noted the recent passing of Miss Lillian Risebrough of Willowd'ale whose death occurred suddenly at the Toronto General Hospital on Tuesday, April 7. Her many friends in this neigh- bourhood will remember her for her gentleness of spirit and her great kindness. To her sister, Mrs. George Kelly and brothers Roy and Gordon and their famil- ies we offer sincere sympathy. May will be a busy month for younger girls in the community.

She was one of a panel on “Art in Education" at home and school a few years ago and is very well qualified to speak for she has taught all grades from 1 to- 13. She had a delight- fully informal way of talking ab- out the plctures she was showing of children in action in creative work. One might have been in a small room with Mrs. Elliott and her slides so quietly yet clearly did she speak. The skit by grade 7 was ex- tnemely funny and the audience thoroughly enjoyed this expres- sion of creative English â€" there must have been some morals be- hind it all somewhere!

Home and School Bridge and Euchre Junior Farmers At Buttonville Ha_ll_ Saturday Night H. R. LUDLOW, Manager Richmond Hill Branch MARKHAM â€"â€" Mr. Percy Wil- son of Locust Hill died at Scar- boro Hospital on April 11th, in his 63rd year. Born in Fenelon Falls. he moved as a young, boy to West Hill. In 1924 he operated the general store and post office at Lbcust Hill‘ The paintings of the boys and girls from kindergarten to grade‘ 8 showed the various‘stages of development; in the early ones. mother with her large hands and arms was the central figure de- tail. balance and form comes gradually. There is no need for elaborate art rooms or expensive equipment or materials to give a child a chance to create some- thing. Old envelopes can be cut into all kinds of shapes. figures can be made from paper rolled up and dress-ed from scraps of mat- erial, even boys love sewing; box- es can be made into animals and paper bags into teepees. The paper tearing, mosaic and razor cutting work all showed what children can do if given the op- portunity â€" discipline problems in these art classes do not exist for all become too engrossed to bother with his neighbour, while work on group projects helps greatly in promoting a spirit of co-operation. In this way art has a great part to play in the ability of children to fit into any environment and to make them artists in living.” Mrs. C. Matthews thanked Mrs. Elliott for coming and comment- ed that she had never seen so much children’s work so well‘ done. Refreshments were served.‘ Next month the guest speaker will be from the Metro Conserva- tion Authority and the' program planned to tell us all of the love- ly parks and historical places in this district.
