Hobbies or talents of the Mrs. Cassidy warned not to do too much for the boys as they like to do things for themselves. She divided the group into three parts. (1) Those who make things happen. (2) Those who watch things happening, and (3) those who are not aware of anything happening. K few‘ suggestions for better programs were:- 1. Invite leaders to speak. 2. Have a contest for table decorations. Show friendliness, use tele- phone convenors, all members should be used and shown apprec- iation for what they do. It is not a money making group. but sup. ports the boys who are working to_learn leadership. Mrs. W. J. Ellis then spoke on “A Mother’s Place in Scouting" which she claimed was an intang- ible thing but explained that "you are a Scout Mother as soon as your boy joins." Next Mrs. Cassldy spoke on “ng1311: and Membership." She suggested that a Program Con- venor be used to plan meetings ahead. using some form of Scouting at each meeting. “Use the talents of the members at the meeting and for Badge work, etc." She listed many ways a Mo- ther can help, firstly. by join- ing an Auxiliary. Read over the Scout Law, "Know what is re- quired of your boy, as the Law is the basis of all Scout_ Train_i_ng._" ‘fYon may assist physically by sewing of bean bags, scarves, ,open your home for Patrol meet- ings, by assisting the Scout Mas-â€" ter you also assist your boy." she continued. "Help them get ready the night of the meeting. by seeing that they have cleaned their shoes. that they are neat ang tidy, JOHN MaoKAY, manager of the Shouldice Hospital said, “We worry about the Russians and how they are getting ahead of us. If they are going to get ahead of us it is through education of child- ren. We are going into a new period in this township school area . . . I don’t make any pro- mise to know the answer of the problems, but I ask; ‘do the can- didates for trustees have time â€" interest in education and time to attend meetings.’ My platform or promise is to give all my atten- tion and time to try to find the solutions to the problems of the school board. I will see Area No. 1 has the highest education stan- dard in the 'area if elected." 3! Mn. I. E. Spears Fifty ladies from York Summit District Auxiliaries met at Rich. mond Hill United Church on Thursday. November 26 for their Fall Conference. It was also suggested that the executive speak to the Group Committee betore having a mon- ey raising project. Draw/s are definitely out as the auxiliary is requested to give value for mon- ey received. It was suggested that vice-pres- idents should be chosen with the idea that they move up to the presidency. Mrs. MacN-aughton Introduced the executive and explained. "It is to Auxiliaries what Auxiliaries are to the Group Committee.” Fall Conference York Summit District, ladies' Auxiliaries MRS. MARY AXELSON, who is a writer. said it was the first time for some years that a wo- man has run for the school board. "But when 65c out of every tax dollar _goes to education I ask why such things as two sets of floors and several sets of windows have to be installed in one school and why . . . after one wall blew down three times it was installed again.” Mrs. Axelson concluded her remarks by stating she beâ€" lieved, "A woman's point of view was needed on the new board." Candidates in School Area No. 1 are Allan G. Parker, designer; Mary L. Axelson, writer; John MacKay, man- ager; L. E. Clark, public accountant; John Honsberger, lawyer; Lionel Frost, barrister; George Williams, fore- man; and Fred Gerrard, manager. In school area No. 2 can- didates are: Elizabeth Thomas of Unionville, housewife; Keith Jewitt, plumber; Wm. Rodick, Milliken. farmer; George Coupethwaite, carpenter; Frank Wolfe, life insur- ance; and Frank Hazelhurst, ALLAN G. PARKER. a former member and vice-chairman of the previous area board is. seeking re-election and was sponsored by two well-known former trustees of the area Roy Rick and Nathan Hicks. “I had not originally in- tended to stand for re-election,” Mr. Parker told the ratepayers present at the nomination meet- ing. "Being a school trustee is an onerous job. But I will stand, beâ€" cause this board- needs continu- ity of experience for the new Markham Board." art director. 1 yer, who has been a member of the York Central District High School Board for the past two years, and whose appointment on that board terminates at the end of 1959. said he remembers the teachers he had as a youngster and how they interested him in his work. “We need good teachers and a good climate in our class- rooms." Mr. Honsberger declar- ed. “I would like. to see the stan- dards in the Thornhill schools maintained and when something comes up about education there “Election platforms. are pretty slippery things for a nominee to stand on â€" but I will state that I will use as much common sense as can be mustered. I would be opposed to any lowering or re- duction of the present standards of education in this community. When you go to the polls, ladies and gentlemen. please think care- fully before electing your new school board". he concluded. Eight candidates were nominated for No. 1 Markham Public School Area, five to be elected, at the nomination meeting held at Buttonville W.I. Hall last Friday; and six nominees were slated for the three trusteeships in School Area No. 2. l4 Nominated For Markham School Boards, Areas I & 2 JonN nousnnnami,"a law- 2 Women Candidates It was a very moving and sum- ulating talk to the ladies and ev- eryone felt that the day had been well spent and that they would carry back to their auxiliaries new spirit with which to carry out their duties. He spoke of his first scout leader in Florida when he was a boy, who just retired last year after forty years of service and how enriched this man’s life was. because of it. He knew because it was his elder brother. Luncheon was served in the auditorium, the blessing being ‘given by Rev. C. G. Higginson. The guest speaker Mr. Don Hen- rhaw of McLarens advertising Co. Ltd. is on the board of direc- tors for many organizations in Toronto, including the United Apo pea! and Mental Health. He spoke movineg of the great increase in mental illness in young people today. or 640 out-patients at one hospital over 50% were young boys and girls. He feels that more than ever before is the great need for Scouting in this coun- try: with more challenges to over- come to interest boys in the leadership training which is so wonderful. He cited many cases where Christian leadership is needed and pointed out that in no other group is this so developed as in chuting. In no other place can a boy work at his individual pace and meet his challenges individually ~ no one is stepped on to gain the ladder of success in scouts and there is no competition to win oter another. Then a very} enjoyable “Sing- song." was led by Mrs. Jackson with Mrs. Parmenter at the Piano. After which the lst Richmond Hill group put on an amusing skit done by Pat Tlnker, Marg Blackburn, Helen Fettes, Dorothy Turner, Betty Houle, Barb Lam- begt and Kay Smith.

"I am not a talker”. he declared, “but a duet. If given the chance I will do it." MR. L. I. CLARK, a public yer, who has been a member of the York Central District High School Board for the past two years, and whose appointment on that board terminates at the end of 1959. said he remembers the teachers he had as a youngster and how they interested him in his work. “We need good teachers and a good climate in our class- rooms," Mr. Honsberger declar- ed. “1 would like. to see the stan» dards in the Thornhill schools maintained and when something comes up about education there shouldn’t be all this quibbling about the cost -â€" as long as it is carefully done."
