2 THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday, February 18, 1960 “Most of the time, perhaps he’s just a fellow in a uniform who waves you through a busy intersection â€"â€" but then suddenly one day he is also the man whose fast, skilled hands on an in- halator brings your baby boy back from the shadows of death. Being a “Naturalist” is just what the name implies. All you need is a natural and whole- some way of looking at, and enjoying life. Naturalists savour even the most infinitesimal works of God and nature â€" and no item of life in any shape or form goes unnoticed. They know the beauty of the dew- sweet petals of an opening wild flower with the first rays of the morning sun caressing it â€" the glad song of a thrush as it “stands guard” near its nest â€"- the headlong rush of a. small animal in a windswept field of grass as it scurries “He’s the fellow who gave you a parking ticket that da. you didn’t see the sign â€" but he’s allo the one who pulled your parents out of their burn- ing, smashed-up car.~ “He’s the fellow who spoke a bit gruffly the time you went through the stoplight â€"â€" but he’s also the genial friendly guardian the kids look forward to seeing at the school crossing every day.

And to the side strewed on the floor were bundles in odd shapes and sizes which contained the re- ceipts, checks and invoices from the year’s work which the town- ship auditor had examined a few weeks ago. One couldn’t help but feel, however, that the shopping bags and the bundles, some tied with a piece of baling twine, all rep- of the board ,has had to start from scratch to work his way through the bills, salaries, bene- fit payments, etc. of the Vaughan side of the former T. S. A. No. 1 the Union School Sections, and the 14 rural school sections which form the new area. Its the Clarke-Elgin School just off Henderson Ave. (The at- tractive school is surrounded by trees. something unusual in this bulldozing day.) The pupils have had to be moved from portables and “makeâ€"do" classrooms in the Thornhill United Church. It is really a change about, isn't it? For its usually the Church and its Sunday School which is held in a public school, when a new ministry is begun in a neighbourhood, and not school in the Church.

By Jane Fort Manning The clerical work following the creation of the Vaughan Town- ship School Area and the School Area of the Township of Mark- ham is really speeding along at a hectic rate say those involved in setting up new bookkeeping systems.

VOne of the most insistent ques- tions of those that have been hurled relentlessly at the writer over the past years, and more particularly since the year he had the audacity to write a book on the finer points of the roar- ing game, is, “How high should the rock be at the top of the backswing?" To my mind the answer should he obviously sim- ple. The greater the weight â€" the higher the swing! But there is ,always some ques- tioner around who disagrees. He says, “What about Garnet Camp- bell and your brother, Grant. They both have high backswings even for a draw shot!’ At first this question; was bothersome un- Many of the secretary-treasur- ers had no doubt gone to the same school, some had had par- ents, or grandparents. who walk- ed up the concessions and the rural roads to the same “little red schoolhouse," and many have children who are attending the same school and had a very spec- ial interest in its welfare because of that. Mr. Jackman, assured me that the old books and papers are to be well-preserved for posterity, or reference. A new. modern fil- ing cabinet will have a separate drawer for each school unit.

This type of delivery is more difficult to perfect because it requires ex- cellent balance during the slide and a great deal of practice. Then there is another factor that can govern the height of the backswing. This. too, has been introduced with the. long slide delivery. It is leg drive â€" or a push-on from the hack with the right foot by snapping the knee straight to get firm propulsion. A high backswing is not required for a fast rock it leg drive is used to help the momentum. Our model for today is Vice- Skip of the current Canadian Champions.

They sim- ply backed into a driveway, turned around, and headed back east. Unfortunately, the others were unable to turn around, even if they had wanted to. On a pre- vious Sunday. when we eventual- ly squeezed through the tie-up and emerged on Yonge St., there was a police car just south of Centre St. apparently unaware of the traffic jam. While this letter is addressed to the Editor, it is particularly directed to the minister and man- agement of the Richmond Hill United Church and to the Rich- mond Hill Police. ‘ ‘ The situation is hardly excus- able since there is lots of off-the- street parking available in the immediate vicinity, well within easy walking distance of the church. Older folks could be let out near the church before park- ing the earn his swing. In this case his rock at the top of his backswing is not too far above the ice because he is delivering an in-turn draw. A detailed study of this excell- ent action shot will be worth the time if you want to get a few helpful hints. (1) The pendulum motion of the swing with the handle of the stone hanging on the fingers is clearly shown. (2) The importance of the index fin- ger in bearing a good portion of the weight of the stone is evi- dent. (3) The last two fingers of the right hand are only cradling the handle and are kept out of any control of the swing. (4) Oh- serve the position of the right foot and particularly the placing of the foot on the back of the hack. (5) Take a close look at the left foot and left arm action. Noâ€" tice that both have been extend- ed well to the left to counterbal- ance the weight of the stone with- out pulling the body otf line. (6) Watch the position of the head and the concentration of Ar- nold’s eyes on the target at the opp05ite end of the ice. Finally, (7) The angle of the broom straw pointing away from the body as well as forward and up OK the ice is a point I cannot emphasize too strongly for thuse who pre- fer the sliding delivery. More about this important part of the swing later. Dear Mr. Editor:- Several Sunday mornings of late. around 10.45 am. there have been disgraceful traffic tie- ups at Yonge St. and Centre St. along the south side of the Uni- ted Church. Sunday, February '7. was the pay-off which prompted this letter. . It would appear that half the congregation of this church. at about the time stated each Sun- day, does its level best to park or stop on the street as close as possible to the church. but es- sentially between Church and Yonge on Centre St., which in- cidentally; is the narrowest sec- tion of Centre St. The net result is that people endeavouring to reach Yonge St. from the east, by the only good thoroughfare available. (Centre St.) are frustrated regularly each Sunday morning. MARKHAM : Despite the rugged winter weather work is progress- ing steadily at the Markham Sew- age disposal plant with polyethy- lene covering being used to keep out the weather. “Dear Mr. Editor” We respectfully suggest that parking be banned on both sides of Centre St. during the Sunday morning rush, and that, in the meantime, some attempt to cor-, rect the situation be initiated by the church authorities.
