Arthur Gowland, M.A., the new Secretary of the Board of Evangelism and Social Action of the Presbyterian Church in Canada. Rev, Gowland's sermon was entitled "Christ in Life's Tensions" and in it he suggested that the role of the Church and of Christ was not merely to free us from tensions and give us in- ner peace but rather to make us tense and concerned about the wrongs we see about us in the world today. When we do active- ly concern ourselves about such things, then only will we achieve the “peace that passeth under- standing". uary 10th, His theme was “The Church That Stood Firm”.

Rabbi Monson counselled his con- gregation however, not to panic as lie knew that the Canadian Government and the Christian Churches of Canada were as 'deeply concerned as he was and The Henderson Avenue Home and School Association held their‘ monthly meeting in the school auditorium on Monday evening. January 11th. There was a smal- ler attendance than usual, with approximately 45 parents 8: tea-‘ chers being present. Mrs. Bour- ke’s afternoon kindergarten class won the parent attendance prize of $5.00. Mrs. Jackson introduced the guest speaker, Mr. Alex Jar- dine. Mr. Jardine is the Social Studies Consultant for all Tor- onto Public Schools and gave a very interesting discourse on So- cial Studies taught in the schools to-day. Social Studies is a comb- ination of History and Geogra- phy. teaching how they influence each other and how they both in- fluence man and his way» of life. Social Studies commence in the first grade and continue through the eighth grade as fol- lows - 1 Family Life; 2 - Neighâ€" borhood Life; 3 - Neighbors a- round the world: 4 â€" The World at Work; 5 - World Discovery; 6- New World Explorations; 7 - The Story of Canada 1; 8 - The Story of Canada II. It is felt that this method of teaching Geography and History is more realistic and helps our children to learn more about peo- ple of other countries with a dee- per understanding of their way of life. We are no longer isolated from distant countries due to our modern methods of efficient and speedy travel. More and more people are travelling farther a- broad than ever before and it is very highly probable that some of our children will travel to dis- tant lands in their lifetime and even we ourselves may reach far distant shores that_ we never thought We would see. It is very important. therefore. that child- ren are taught of man and his way of life so that they may meet these people with an open mind and that thegmay live and help to live. ‘ Mr. Jardine related the re- marks of an employer in a large company. when asked what were the requirements to become an employee of his company. The employer stated that it was of foremost importance that the em- ployees be capable of communi- cating clearly with their fellow men and are able to understand and work well with each other. It is. therefore, hoped that the method of teaching Social Stud- ies in the Schools to-day will assist our future citizens to ad- just themselves to work and live better with his fellow man. A. Goodyear thanked Mr. Jardine‘for his interesting talk. on behalf of those present. The Clark Elgin séhool is near: HIGHLAND PARK NEWS CORRESPONDENT: MRS. D. 8. DARLEY.

The pageant opened with a scene from an Indian residential mis- sion school where a group of chil- dren are decorating a Christmas tree and the principal tells them the Christmas story. This was ac- ted out in tableau form but inclu- ded some spoken word as well as played on recorders as well as choral singing. Of particular in- terest was the Japanese dance performed by seven Japanese children who came from St. Anne's Church in Toronto to take part; Directed by Mrs, Hiashi, the children sang “Hark the Her- ald Angels Sing" in Japanese and played on recorders as well as danced. Rev. AskeW’s.sermon on Sun- day morning was entitled "To- day’s Wise Men" and he used the story of the wise men as a symbol for our present day search for truth and a deeper purpose in life. Mr. Askew pointed out that deeper spiritual insight does not come as a miracle but through practice, would take every step to see that the perpetrators at such desecra- tion were punished. More moving, however, was the fact that there were, to my personal knowledge. people seated in the congregation who bore on their arms long dis- figuring serial numbers put on them in concentration camps and also one woman who, as an in- mate of a concentration camp had been turned out naked in below zero weather in the camp grounds and sprayed with a hose until ice formed over her entire body. While we may be perhaps inclin- ed to dismiss the painting of a few swastikas as mere hoodlum- lsm, can you blame these people if they are frightened? And while all this may seem remote from us in our pleasant, kindly village of Thornhill, perhaps the person you ride beside in the bus bears on his or her how similar dis- figurations and has seared in his brain the memory of such indig- nities. Remarkably enough, however, at the further "evening celebra- tions of a Bar Mitzvah or coming of age party, what impressed me most in these self-same people was their friendliness. their de- votion to each other and their evident happiness. Not so hard to understand though. Each day they live is one they never, ex- pected to havevand for each ray of sunshine they are doubly grateful. ing completion and the Home and School Association is organ- ized and they hope to hold their first meeting on Wednesday, Jan- uary 20th, in the new school.

Parents are asked to watch this program also and give their cements and opinions of it. on Thursday, February 4th, the York Simcoe Council is holding a citizenship meeting in the Unionville Public School and will have as guest speaker, Mr. A. Pigott, who will speak on the problems of New Canadians and Show a film called Threshold. This is a very timely subject and one whichwe should find very interesting and educational. Ev- eryone is invited to attend and learn how we can help these peo- ple in their new home. On Tuesday evening, February 16th. the local Home and School Associations will hold a Founders Day Meeting in the Auditorium of the Thornhlll High School. Dr. Rich. an outstanding speaker of the Thistletown Emotionally Dis- turbed hospital (formerly a con- valescent branch of the Sick Childrens Hospital) will give a talk on the Emotionally Disturb- ed. This should proVe interesting and helpful to us all. In these days of speed and stress, more people come in contact with a case oi “nerves” than ever before known in our history. Nerves, of course, are a common name for emotions and if we understand the underlying causes, perhaps it would help us to live better with our "nerves." Plan now to at- tend. You will be glad you did. The ice rinks at the school are in good condition now and Mr. Martindale, Principal. thanks the parents for their co-operation in returning 25c with their child- ren for the upkeep of the rink this year. About $37.00 has been received and will go toward the maintenance of the rinks. There is a smaller rink for young child- ren this year so that the older ones can play hockey on the larger one. ‘ The York County Health Unit are planning an evening clinic in the near future. for adults to receive their third polio shot which is due soon.

The Pierce family were guests on Sunday of the Murray Acre- mans, taking home Johnny who had spent part of the holidays with Uncle Moe. A The Ha! Acreinans ware recent visitors with Mr. and Mrs. Geo. by Elizabeth Kelson I had the privilege of watching a teen age dancing party during Christmas week. I sat at a table in the shadowed part of the auditorium of the United Church in Thornhill. The occasion was the Young People’s Christmas party. The lights were subdued, the popular records were being played over a loud speaker. Young couples drifted onto the floor and began dancing or else they sat at tables talking and laughing amongst themselves. It Was as though they lived in another world than mine, the high wall of years between us. As I sat there watching, I couldn’t help thinkin'g about what a wonderful thing it is to be young -â€" to be smooth of skin, bright of eye and light of step. The girls were so lovely to look at in their gay party clothes. Their young faces were alive with interest and sparkling with the anticipation of a pleasant evening ahead. The young men were attractive and clean cut in appearance. There must be something magical about this change from their workaday world of study and sport into a world of music, and lights and dancing, with perhaps a dash of romance as well. How it transforms the school girl with a liking for sweaters and skirts, into a glamorous and rather sophisticated young lady in evening dress. How different the carefully groomed youth, dressed for the occasion, from the boy who is much more at home in casual sport clothes and who prefers his shirt open at the neck. I thought how nice it was that these young people should remind me anew what is good about the state of being young. They told me in their own way that life was still a very satisfactory thing. They possessed the power to laugh at nothing and to enjoy each other’s company from sheer good will and their own natural exuberance. I have learned many valuable lessons in life from the teen agers around me today. In fact, some of them have helped me to grow up. They are sometimes wiser than one thinks and certainly much wiser than they are given credit for. It was wonderful to watch these young people having a good time. God “I--- mL,, a Bless Them!

If it weren’t for that compact rear engine you see pictured below, there would be no such thing as a Corvair. - Chevrolet, of course, could have sealed 3 conventional model down to compact-car size. But it wouldn't have been anything like this Corvair. And it wouldn‘t have shown anything like Corvair‘s astonishing stability and traction and nimble handling. A Corvair is different from other compact cars . . . and it takes a radically different power plant to make it that way. Look' at the engine again. You’ll notice that the six cylinders lie horizontally, three opposed to three. That's called a "pancake" design. It takes up less space, it leaves more room for passenger comfort. It’s an unusually light engine, made almost entirely of alumi- num. As a result, Corvair weight distribution is excellent; just about 50/50 front and rear under the hardest braking. You stop quickly and you stop in a straight line. HEADFORD NEWS There'e nothing like a new car and no new compact car like the Corvuir. This is the standard model. u uer BIRRELI.
