The Brownies formed a group around the Toadstool and Brown Owl (Mrs. C. G. Gibson) addres- sed them and first pinned on the cellophane wings for their “flight” and then the badge which they will proudly wear on their Guide uniforms. From the Fairy Ring they went to the Gate which leads to guiding and which was opened by the Gate Fairies. Once through the gate, they approach- ed the Guide Company, drawn up in the form of a horshoe and the Guide Leader halted them to ask by what right they entered. They replied, “by right of the golden hand," the Brownies most coveted award and which must be earned by the eleyenth birthday. The above students of Thornhill High School have won among them some $1,900. in scholarships and bur- saries. Graham Houze won a Provincial Scholarship; Christa Gelke a Dominion-Provincial, and an Atkinson Foundation Bursary; Alan Podhorodeski an Engineering Society Alumni Bursary; Irene Watters the Federation of Women Teachers’ Bursary for this district. Judy Allen. Patsy Chambers, Karen Glassow, Marilyn Hunter. Sharon Morgan and Wendy Will- ison were the Brownies of the 2nd Thornhill Pack who flew up to Guides. Diane Ziegler flew to the 370th Willowdale Brownie Pack and was kindly received into [this pack by her new leader, Mrs. Lowell who attended the cere- [mony for this purgose. The Brownies flying up from the lst Thornhill Pack were Don- na Bradley, Ann Cameron. Janice Crouter. Ruth Harrington, Eliza- beth Laycock, Gail McCrae, Mar- ion McDonough and Priscilla Mendoza. Another touching portion of the evening was when the Brownies of the lst Thornhill Pack bid farewell to Mrs. C. G. Gibson who has been their faithful Brown Owl for the past eight years, and to Mrs. Harrington who has been Tawny Owl for the past three years. Brown Owl was pres- ented with a lovely cream and sugar set on a tray, and Tawny Owl graciously received a cup and saucer. They were both pres- ented with a cake to take home. The pack was happy to welcome Mrs. H. A. Mowder as their new Brown Owl. Mrs. Mowder lives on No. 7 Highway at Concord and is new to Guiding but she will get lots of help and is sure to find such a worthwhile task stimulat- ing and enjoyable. Mrs. John E.

Mrs. B. Gain and daughter Theresa, returned home from the hospital on Tuesday; and Mrs. R. Middleton and daughter are also home from the hospital. Friends and neighbours of young Stephen Vautier, Spruce- wood Ave., are sorry to learn of his serious illness last week. At Tuesday of this week, his condi- tion has been described as not critical. Acting on a request of Thornhill Village Trustees, Markham Township Council Monday instructed its build- ing department not to renew the annual permit for two bill boards on the east side of Yonge Street close to the traffic lights. The signs were erected by an outdoor adver- tising company in October 1958. The trustees objected to them from the beginning on the grounds that they con- traven the village's zoning by-law. _ Congratulations are ‘in order for Michael Reddy, of 90 Glen- Cameron Ave., who at the Hen- derson Ave. Home and School As- sociation meeting on Monday of this week, was honoured as the student making the most out- standing achievement and was al- so given $15.00 by Mr. A. Martin- dale, principal. Michael is 15 yrs. old and is now attending Thorn- hill High School. He announced he would divide the money with his identical twin brother, Peter. Agreeing that they‘ are an “eyesore" council unanimous- ly agreed to not renew the permit. Birthday wishes are in order for Jeannie Margin, Sprucewood Drive, who was 6 years old on Wednesday, September 30. Councillor J. MacNeil took strong exception at Monday’s meeting of Markham Town- ship'Council to the new stop lights installed in Thornhill at the corner of Yonge Street and No. 7 Highway. The lights, the first of a new pro- vincial wide traffic control system were {ecently install: ed by tr Highways. “Why pick on Thornhill" queried Mr. MacNeil. “These new lights are creating a ser- ious traffic hazard," added the speaker. Mr. MacNeil said the new lights which can be controlled by pedestrians by means of push buttons are piling up traffic during rush hours. Any pedestrians using the push buttons have to move quickly to avoid being caught in the middle of the traffic. Council will draw the matter to the attention of the Department of. Iiighu‘zays. Council Turns Down Billboards Budget On motion of Deputy-reeve W. Dean council will petition the Department of Highways and the county to consider the installation of traffic lights at the intersection of Numbers 47 and 48 Highways at Ringwood.
