Mrs. McClelland went on to say that a child’s taste in music is developed as early as three years of age and many children are fond of classical music this early in life. She told of her work with retarded children at the To- rcnto School and how well these children respond to music. Many of them are capable of keeping time, right from the start, others acquire a “beat” after encourage- ment and practice with the other children. ' “Retarded children," Mrs. Mc- Clelland went on to say, “are able to express themselves through music, more so than in any other way. Some children who do not have speech have been helped through the blowing of a ‘kazoo'.” Retarded children are capable of learning to play a musical instru- ment and many have done so. In conclusion, she expressed the opinion that it is wonderful to be able to appreciate good music and every child, normal or otherwise, could do so if helped and encour- aged by parents, in the home. Miss Ketola. principal of the Thornhaven School, and a mem- ber of the building committee, reported that all plans for the new school had been completed. Tenders were now 'being called for and the actual building due to start in a few Weeks. Hopes are high that the school will be ready for opening in September. A report of the O.A.R.C.. con- vention at Smith Falls, was given by Mrs. D. Marritt. of Willowdale. In the course of this report Mrs. Marritt mentioned that the Thornhill Association topped .all others in their financial campaign for the building of a new school for retarded children in Rich- mond Hill. Mr. Harry “Red” Fos- ter paid a glowing tribute to the job done by this small associa- tion in his remarks to the dele- gates at the convention. 7 How wonderful to know that the retarded children of this dis- trict will at last have a bright, well equipped school ‘59 attend!‘ --- -jâ€"_rr-â€" .. u A social hourr followed the meeting, at which time refresh- ments were served.

Mr. Rob- erts has accepted the principal- ship of a 10-roomed school there. The present principal of Hager- man School will replace Mr. Bob- erts and comes well recommended by Inspector Hellman. Home & School After two years of successful activity Buttonville Home and School association members met on Wednesday of last week to consider past accomplishments and failures and take stock for the future. During its short life this or- ganization has done much to bring new members of the com- munity into active participation. The children have benefited, knowing that their parents are working with their teachers for their best interests. And the school has been stronger for par- ental support. The question which arose at last week’s meeting was: “Is the association with the par- ent body of Home & School worth the fees it costs the local assoc- iation to be1~0n ??” and the an- swer come up i the negative. It was agreed to reâ€"organize in Sep- tember after the new parents have been contacted, when a new constitution will be drawn up. Plans for the graduates banquet will also be made late in the sea son. Mr. Roberts asked for assist- ance with the school picnic which will be held at The Maples on June 22. Explorers and C.G.I.T. Explorer and CGIT activities for the season came to an end on Monday evening of last week with outdoor fireside gatherings at the home of Mrs. Stewart Rumble for CGIT and at the Maw residence for Explorers. The Explorers en- joyed a weiner roast, with ice cream and orangeade as a reward for their all out effort on corsage sales which grossed $80.00 with a net profit of approximately $50 for Explorer projects. The doll’s house which was a project some years back lacked one or two it- ems for completion, and this has now been accomplished. In the near future presentation of this beautiful gift will be made as an addition to the toys in the play- room at the York County Hospi- tal, Newmarket. Vacation School On Monday evening of last week interested workers met at Headford United Church to con- sider plans for this year’s Vaca- tion Church School for the Vic- toria Square Charge. Tentative date was set for the week of July 13-17. A second meeting has been called for the evening of June 15 (Headford 'Church) when more definite arrangements will be made. All Vacation School workers are asked to co-operate and attend this meeting. held Saturday afternoon in Vic- toria Square hall under the aus- pices of the Home and School Association of No. 7 Markham. The president, Mrs. Jack Leitch, introduced Mrs. B. Kays, who of- ficially opened the bazaar. The table of beautifully made dolls’ clothes attracted all the younger group and realized a substantial profit for the association. The other tables did very well too. Last week was a busy one for those who were free to attend church activities. The annual Whitchurch Sunday School Con- vention held morning, afternoon, and evening sessions in the Un- ited Church at Bethesda on Wed~ nesday. Then quite a number of ladies attended the annual W.M.S. convention at the United Miss- ionary Church at Stouffville on Thursday. ‘ ' Mr. and Mrs C. Milsted and Charleen attended services at Mt. Zion United Missionary Church on Sunday. This was a special service to dedicate a new pulpit, communion table, offering plates and stands in memory of the late Mrs. Jas. Morris. The ,Milsteds had dinner with Mr. Morris and family of Ravenshoe. Miss Reatha Steckley of Tor- onto spent the week-end with Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Steckley. During the closing hymn at the Sunday morning service at Heise Hill Church, a thief stole the Sun- day School oifering of over $28 from the church basement. We wonder just how bold thieves can become! Several spotted the strange man as he left the church yard. He was later caught and appeared in Newmarket court. On Monday evening, about 60 ladies of Heise Hill and Oak Rid- ges Brethren in Christ Churches held a banquet at the Youth Cen- tre. This was also a surprise fare- well for one of their members, Mrs. Allen Heise, who will be moving to Hamilton in a few weeks. Mrs. Heise was presented with a beautiful aluminum tray from Oak Ridges group with each member‘s name engraved on it. and a cofi‘ee table from the Heise Hill group.

We would like to exp ess sin- cere sympathy to Mr. 00d and his children and Mrs. Clement, whom we know will miss her very much. One' could say of her that to know her was to love her.
