Operated by Mrs. Eliza- beth Paterson of Idleswift Drive, it was formerly at 5309 Yonge Street, Willowdale. The new shop is in a new group of stores just opened up on the Eastern side of the Shopping Centre. facing an Kenneth Ave. This space was formerly taken up with the ser- vice entrance of the Foodtown grocery store which closed up tn On Sunday evening, the Young Adults met at the Church and the service was led by Miss Myr- na Hunt. Rev. Chambers intro- duced the new Bible Study 'Pro- gramme on the Book of Romans. There were 31 members present. Social Notes This past week end. from Fri- day night to Sunday morning. 15 members of the Young Adults Club took part in a week end re- treat at the Presbyterian Church Lay Centre In the Caledon Hills. Rev. Walter Welch of St. An- drews Presbyterian Church, Humber Heights addressed the group on, “The Key to Christian Living." The Couples Club held a square dance on Saturday even- ing at Henderson Avenue Public School. After the dancing. about 25 couples returned to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Puddy for refreshments. by a member of the Victorian Order of Nursing. At the Sunday morning service a proposal was put before the congregation that as its contri- bution to Refugee Year, the con- gregation should sponsor a refu- gee family, bringing it to Thorn- hill and being responsible for its welfare. This will be arranged through Elle Church Office. Rev. MacDonad asked all those in- terested in supporting such a venture to contact him and by Monday noon had had a gratify- ing number of calls. At the Sunday evening ser- vice, Mr. Hugh Martin led in a rousing hymn singing and the series of “Open Season on the Preacher" was continued. The questions which Rev. MacDonald dealt with were, (1) What does “Amen” mean?, (2) What about a Roman Catholic in the White House? (3) What about capital punishment? and (4) Is the Story of Adam and Eve true? Mr. Mac- Donald dealt with these in his usual forthright manner. He could see some possible dangers following on the election of a Roman Catholic as President of the United States, inasmuch as in other places where the Roman Catholic church had gained con- trol, they refused to recognize any other religion. Capital pun- ishment, Rev. MacDonald felt to be an abomination and a relic of barbarism, and certainly not in any way in accord with Chris- tian teaching. The story of Adam and Eve he felt to be, like other Biblical stories, not really a story, but a parable meant to illustrate something which could not otherwise be explained. Thornhill Presbyterian Church On Sunday morning. March 13th, the congregation of Thorn- hill Presbyterian Church held their 111th Anniversary service with Rev. Chambers in the pui- pit. His subject was “The Burn- ing Bush." The Junior and ".en- ior Choirs took part in the ser- vice and a group of 35 men of the congregation were commis~ stoned for the programme of vis- iting which took place in the af- ternoon. Real trees had been planted for the occasion, some around the pools, some alone: the walls. These had been painted black and ‘flow- ered’ with pink cherry blossoms A 10 foot buddha stood on one side of the huge room and on the opposite wall a 60 foot mural of Mount Fuji had been executed. The north wall sported a large and gain painted dragon with ‘flashing eyes’, and directly op- posite, on each side of the stage were a pagoda and a fountain {ng her stood beside the bridge on the sandy\shore line. which extended into award of grass and flowers. vices Division.

Guides and Brownies were very active on the week end. They were out on Friday evening get- ting orders for cookie day, and on Saturday morning. some of the girls with their leaders went to Maple for orders as there are no Guides or Brownies in that district yet. On their return, they were very glad to find hot chocolate, cofiee, and hot dogs waiting for them at Mrs. Pat Smith's. Pat was in the middle of getting her house painted htat morning, so two good old souls, Iris Orr and Tilda Day went over to help with the girls. Pat Smith would like to thank all the mo- thers who donated the hot choc- olate and the hot dogs Personal Notes December.

By special request she loaned some of her beautiful wa- ter colour paintings for the meet- ing. These were hung on the walls, and gave delighted view- ers authentic glimpses of the vast snow bound region, and of Eskimos in their natural sur- roundings. Work On Display Given in marriage by her fath- er, the bride was radiant in a beautiful gown of heavy satin with close fitting bodice and low cut shawl collar inset with Chan- tilly lace and decorated with peariized sequins. The long finger- tip sleeves of the bodice were of nylon organdy matching the ov- erskirt, worn over slipper satin. The front of the skirt featured a panel with two inset hows, the centre of which was lace and se- quins, in back a tailored bow with long wide sash stood out like a bustle. The bride wore a tiara of pearlized sequins in the shape of a half crown with hip length veil, and she carried a cascade of deep red roses and white carnations.

Donald Marsh has lived and laboured in the Arctic for 34 years, and for the last 10 has been Anglican Bishop of the 2800 square mile Diocese. He speaks the Eskimo language, is fully conversant with the prob- lems of the people, and deplores the fact that there are not nearly enough Anglican clergy to minister to, and guide these de- vout Christians, who are often bewildered by the lax moral val- ues of the white men they are beginning to meet. rawn in- to the larger world by the swifter means of communication. and travel, the Eskimos are try- ing to exchange their primitive way of life for the accepted pat- tern of civilization, and to do this they must have money, and jobs. Some were employed on the Dew Line, some do Eskimo carvings but paid work is rela- tively scarce. Though rich na- tural resources lie deep under the thick crust of ice and snow, the cost of developing, and trans- porting them would be prohibi- tive. Bishop Marsh spoke of the great devotion of the Eskimos to Canon James who continuud his work among them despite a painful handicap. He appealed to mothers and grandmothers in the audience to bring the urgent need for clergy in the North West Territory to the attention of young men of their ac~ quaintance, and begged them not to put obstacles in the way of those who would choose this very rewarding, if not very lucra- tive, vocation. A (By Doris M. FitzGerald) “If we do not help the Eski- mos during this critical period of transition we may fail them forever,” Bishop Marsh told the large gathering assembled in Holy Trinity Parish Hall, Thorn- hill, on March 10, to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Holy Trinity Woman’s Auxiliary. Bishop and Mrs. Marsh, both good looking, healthful and friendly are the best possible advertisements for such a life. Mrs. Marsh shared the rigours of parish life at Eskimo Point. Hudson’s Bay. with her husband for 18 years, and for 3 years at the original Aklavik. After he became Bishop, the Marshes and their three children moved to Toronto. He spends a few months here on executive work, and the rest of the year travels about his Diocese by plane or boat._ The Rev. Hugh MacDonald of- ficiated at the lovely wedding in the Thornhill United Church, which was decorated with pink camations and snapdragons, and sprays of lily of the Galley tied to the pew with white tulle bows. Mrs. D. Gunn was at the organ and the brother of the groom, Ralph Kay. was best man, while the ushers were Garnet Kay and the bridejs brother, Garry Jay. A honeymoon trip to the south- ern states and Florida followed the wedding of Jo Anne Jay, dau- ghter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Jay of Richvale. to John W. Kay of Markham, son of Mr. and Mn, Whitney Kay, Huntsville, on March 5, 1960. Jo Anne Jay Marries J. W. Kay In lovely Ceremony At Thornhill The day was sunny, and pro- gress at Holy Trinity greatly in evidence Full of scaffolding. the Church was in the process of be- ing re-decorated, and outside a giant mixer was pouring cement for the footings of the new par- ish hall. An important feature of the program was the presentation of a life membership to Mrs. Roland Healey. a past president, and long time member, in apprecia- tion of her years of selfless work. The little ceremony was conduco ted by Mrs. W. T. Barnett, Dio- cesan Education Secretary, as- sisted by Mrs. S. S. Tobias and Mrs. Wm. Herbinson. Taken un- awares, Mrs. Healey said she thought she knew everything that was going on in the W. A.. but this was a complete surprise, and an honour she felt she had not worked hard enough to merit. To this Mrs. Barnett replied that the gold pin did not signify the end of work, rather it was the equivalent of the Scotch crofter’s greeting to a trusted friend at his door, “come further in.” At the conclusion of the meet- ing two past presidents, Mrs. S. S. Tobias and Mrs. G. P. Howe poured tea at a long table, bright with spring flowers, and centred with a huge birthday cake. A- mong the many guests were Mrs. l‘onald Marsh Mrs. W. T. Bar- nett, and Mrs. J. D. Scott, of the Diocesan Board; and Mrs. James Ewing, convenor of Cartwright Cottage, Toronto, fellow W. A. members of Roches Point, Kes- wick, Newmarket, Oak Ridges, Richmond Hill, Markham, Gorm- ley, King, Langstaff, and women from the other protestant Churches in Thornhili. Others who took part in the programme were, Mrs. C. P. Stow, Scripture reading, Mrs. P. D. McTaggart- Cowan who thanked the Bishop for his talk, and Mrs. Gordon Davie who presented a corsage to Mrs. Marsh. The afternoon tea was convened by Mrs. A. J. Everett ‘and Mrs. W. Barry. For’her going-away outfit, the bride chose a wool suit in dress- maker's style in a very bright blue with matching sailor hat and gloves. On their return they will reside in Willowdale. The for- mer Jo Anne Jay attended Char- les Howitt grade school, Rich- mond Hill High School and is a graduate of the Thornhill High School ’57. shawl collars trimmed with rhine- stones, and oversklrts of sheer nylon one shade lighter than the dresses. They were white velvet crowns trimmed with white flow- ers and carried bouquets of white carnations. All the men of the wedding party wore white jack- ets with black trousers, and five- year-old Debbie Jenning made a lovely_ little flower girl. Following the reception the 9 guests retired to the Richvale Community Hall where a family friend, Mr. Bill McKeibon, sup- plied the entertainment which included square dancing. The uncle of the bride’s mother, Al- bert Childs although 73 years old, danced four complete square dances and a very happy time was had by all. after the Women’s Auxiliary was founded by a small group of Ottawa women lead by Mrs. Tilton. Though primarily devot- ed to missionary work Holy Trinity W. A. has time and again come to the aid of its parish. In her welcoming address at this 70th birthday commemoration President Mrs. Roger Priestman mentioned the great increase in the work and scope of the W. A. since the first mission bale was sent out. She expressed the gen- eral regret at the absence through illness of the former president of Holy Trinity W. A., Mrs. E. C. Lean, who had helped to plan the celebration. The rector, the Rev. W. E. Askew spoke briefly about the Holy Trinity Exhibi- tion, a scholarship awarded an- nually to a divinity student who assists in the parish during the college year, and works in the mission field in the summer, and so brings missionary work closer to the congregation. For several years Holy Trinity W. A. has been contributing towards the summer expenses of this student. Life Membership Wm, ------ .. .... 5.... .

GARDEN SHOP" "SPECIAL" FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKSU A 28 Indusi I suppose thousands of these cards go out to friends and loved ones on special holidays like St. Patrick’s Day. And I can imagine that the little packet of real sham- rock seed finds its way into many a home in the United States and Canada, there to be planted into pots and and finally to grow and become the one thing that sym- bolizes home in a foreign land. There seems to be in all of these cards the fear that the emigrant will forget Ireland. They create the impression of mothers and fathers wondering whether ‘Mike’ or ‘Kathleen’ far off in America is losing touch with home. ‘Forget not the land of your birth’ is the stern warning on one which shows a little Irish bridge in the circle, much shamrock, and a horseshoe hung the wrong way, which seems to be usual in Ireland. This card also bears the packet of ‘real shamrock seed.’ by Elizabeth Kelson One of the most distinctive features of all small shops in Ireland is the post card. According to a student of Irish wa s and customs post cards are sacred or pro- fane Iri_sh ove of play acting and gift for satire is the The other Irish post cards are very different. They are the most touching post cards in the whole world. You see them propped up in the little village shop win- dows or stacked in long racks in village post offices. They are designed to cheer the heart of those who leave their beloved Erin for another land. There is one plentifully sprinkled with sprays of shamrock which shows in a small circle an idealized white cottage against a pink sunset and with a round tower rising at the back among the fields. The fields, too, are idealized. They are not the rocky fields which helped to drive the emio grant to the western world. ‘The dear little cabin’ is the inscription under the cottage. ‘Fair Land Of My Birth' is the general title to the card. Attached to the post card is a little green packet with these words on it, “A packet of real shamrock seed." inspiration of the profane card. One example of a favor- ite character for this type is a pug-nosed person in a swallow-tail coat, worsted stockings and a clay pipe, who twirls a shillelagh as he makes love to a ‘colleen’ with a shawl on her head. Or the same hero is seen driving a jaunting-car over boulders and upsetting tour- ists into a ditch. Or he is seen leaning over a pig-sty or preparing to fight somebody. These appealing cards give a real insight into the rare and wonderful qualities of the Irish people. In them you discover their tender sentimentality, love of homo and each other, their gift of laughter and sense of fun, wic‘lchogt which the Western world would have been poor In ee . 28 Industrial Rd.
