The paving of the streets in Thornhill is postponed for this year because of the installation of waterworks on the Vaughan township side of the village. How- ever Thornhlll Village Trustees are proceeding with the neceSSary ‘red tape‘ in order to have every- thing in order to proceed as soon as the waterworks program is completed. Trustees Meeting Thursday evening the trustees, Chairman Alan Sumner and Mr. James-Timmins and Mr. P. Mc- Taggartâ€"Cowan. decided to ask Mr. Jorgensen of Babcock Assoc- iates. engineering consultants for Markham Township to prepare an estimate of the costs of some sub-surfacing and resurfacing of John Street. The estimate will then be forwarded to the provin- cial Department of Highways for approval. The engineering estim- ates have been prepared on all the other roads except John St. When the work is done a 50 per cent provincial grant is expected to aid in financing the John St. work. Paving‘ In Thornhill Is Postponed For The Year New Store In Thornhill Chairman Sumner told the trustees John Street was in need of immediate patching and the trustees agreed to have Mr. L. Reid fill in several bad holes. Chairman Sumner .felt the cost would come to l'$200.00 at the outside”. Fire Protection Chairman Sumner stated some Markham township villagers had expressed the opinion they were not getting the benefit of low fire rates, now that hydrants had been installed. due to the agree- ment.with Richmond Hill for use of their fire fighting equipment in Thornhill High ‘Winner The Dr. Broad Trophy Thorn'hlll High 6 Richmond Hill High 0 Thornhlll High won the Dr. Broad Trophy_and the game with their not so secret big weapon Bob Howes.

Chairman Sumner wondered if an agree- ment could be worked out with Vaughan Township as they had _.:u. :.. .uucwuu --..___,,,A _ a fire hall at Richvale within three miles of the village. ‘We may have to pay something,” said Trustee Timmins. “I suggest the matter be explored," was Trustee McTaggart-Cowan's opinion. The Yaughan Council will be contact- ed Trustee McTaggart-Cowan sug- gested the sidewalk on Colborne Street should be capped with as- phalt to prevent erosion. He also wondered if the sidewalk on Ar- nold Street could be paved this fall. “That is if we’ve got enough money in the kitty. Our corres- pondence will show whether the sidewalk is dependent on the pay- ing being completed,” added Mr. McTaggart-Cowan. ‘We'll soon know what’s left in the kitty,’ said Chairman Sumner. School authorities have endorsed paving of Arnold Street as soon as pos- sible. Commercial Water Thornhill trustees are anxious to know what the commercial rate for water in the village will be. The residential minimum is $3.00 per month. Chairman Sumner and Trustee Timmins, wh is on the Area Recreation Com ittee, will contact Vaughan township clerk, J. M. McDonald, on this matter shortly. A grant of $100.00 was given to the Thornhill and District Hor- ticultural Society on motion of Trustee McTaggart-Cowan. This will be used toward paying for the plants and trees placed in the village park by the society and their horticultural care of them. being able to do much from scoring angle. On many occasions the teams invaded each others twenty yard line only to be repulsed. The Hill Boys had been warned to contain Thornhill end, Bob Howes and did a tremendous job until a very understandable lapse left Big Bob in the open for a pass that gave Thomhill the victory and the trophy. The boy assigned to defense Howes had his work more than cut out for him as Bob is six feet'five inches tall - far taller than the average junior player and a real threat as a pass re- ceiver. With a very few minutes re- maining in the fourth quarter the Thornhill team had possession on the Richmond Hilltwenty. Two‘ plays were smothered and on third down the Thornhill team lined up for a field goal at- tempt. The Richmond Hill team put on the big charge and forgot about the old adage “All that Glitters Is Not Gold." The placement attempt was a fake and a pass was thrown to Mr. Howes in the ’end zone. The score went unconverted and gave Thornhill High the six to nothing win There seems to be a real 51 of friendly rivalry in these ga and the old feuding style of c petition is a thing of the 1 The coaches of both teams the faculties of both schools to be congratulated on the display of sportsmanship by 1 ers and spectators alike.

It is the season when you feel like saying, “Well its about time.” The cooler breezes bring welcome relief from the heat of summer, and the nights, at last, bring refreshing sleep. Any day now, the leaves change their emerald green'for a more exotic dress. The days are shorter and grand, old Mother Nature has sent her signals to the leaf-bearing trees that they may begin to withdraw the life-giving sap from the leaves and store it in their branches and trunks in preparation for oncoming winâ€" ter. For their sacrifice, the leaves are allowed to grow old in a glorious manner. What a brilliant ending. -The sumacs with their fiery leaves, the crimson of the maples, and the scarlet leaves of the oak are all blended with the gold and russet tones of the birch. ash and poplar trees. - In the north, this richly dressed assembly has the backdrop of the green forest who must wait patiently for its place in the sun. It won’t be so long now, the air has a tang that sends the blood racing to the cheeks, and greedy lungs fill to bursting with the cleanness and the freshness of it. The sun has become golden, more mellow as is fit- ting at the close of an active life. The garden crops are harvested, all except the “golden pumpkins that lie bare of the vine. They wait a little longer, perhaps for Hallowe’en. Who knows? The leaves begin to fall and drift about. They crackle under your feet and suddenly they are wisked hither and yon by some mischievous gust of wind.

Mrs. Davis is one of the pioneers of the Institute. having joined its staff in 1927 when it was only one year old. The speaker emphasized that great progress has been made in our thinking about children since the days, for example, when they were looked upon as slaves, but adults are still too apt to overlook the child’s right to be an idiv- id-ual. There should be a balanced interaction in the parent-child relationship, with the parents providing care and affection while at the same time respecting the child's own efforts at being an individual. It is the parents’ res- ponsibility to give the child this care and affection while he is help- less and immature, teach him the skills he needs for this world. and see that he has opportunity to be an individual and practise these skills. In looking after a child, the whole object should be to prepare him eventually to look after himself. Mrs. Davis gave a very interest- ing account of her work at the Institute and the tremendous background of knowledge which they have acquired through their study of certain children from nursery school age to adulthood; There followed a lively question and answer period which eventu- ally had to be terminated be- cause of the late hour.
