This spring, from coast to coast, a "River of Gold” will bloom in the form of thousands of golden tulips, planted by Guides and Brownies as a Jubilee “Thank You” gesture to their commun- ities.

Every Brownie Pack and Guide and Ranger Company will observe birthday celebrations, with birthday cakes and pageantry. Canadian girls â€" and their parents â€"â€" are indeed fortunate to have shared Guiding during the past 50 years with other girls around the world, now num- bering four-and-a-half millions. As yet another generation of 8-year-olds sol- emly promise “to do my best”, we are proud to wish Girl Guiding in Canada a “Happy Birthday”, to wish them many, many more, and to say, as their late, great Founder and Chief may have said, “Well done, Guides!” Girl Guides have made a worth- while contribution to good Canadian citizenship and York County communâ€" ities are fortunate to have shared in the many benefits.

He could say he knew something about the If the New Testament had been put together in chronological or- der, Paul’s first letter to the‘ Thessalonians would have headedi the list. This first piece of Chris- tian writing was penned by the Apostle while at the city of Corn inth. Under the fire of intense persecution he had established a very vigorous church at Thessal- onica, now the modern city of Salonika. In writing this letter he has three things in mind. First, he encourages the Thessalonian Christians to remain true and steadfast to Christ even though they have to suffer for their faith. Second, he urges them to maintain high principles of moral conduct, and to remember that sex must be used as part of God’s plan, and is not something to be exploited. Third, he gives them instruction about the triumph of Christ’s kingdom in the certain hope of is re-appearing. When we look at these themes developed by Paul in this brief letter, we see that they still are relevent to our world today. Cer- tainly, Christians are being called upon to suffer for their faith as perhaps never before in the his- tory of the world. Behind the Iron and Bamboo Curtains un- told multitudes of people have had to pay with their lives for the faith they profess in Christ. Those of us who enjoy the priv- ilege of religious freedom should not fail to remember our bre- ‘them in our prayers that they ‘may be able to stand fast in their times of testmg. Persecution may come to us in different forms. It is not always the sword or the dungeon which do the most dam- age to the Church. Often the cold shoulder, the biting tongue, the sarcastic remark made by those who reject the Gospel, is Just as hard to bear. But those who are Willing to pay the price may have the Joy of knowing that they belong to a noble company of men and women in every age who have stood fast for their faith under the fiery attacks of their enemies. The gospel is full of promises of blessing to those who remain true to the end. Then certainly Paul’s message to the Thessalonians on moral purity is extremely revelant in our degenerate society. If the ‘Victorian age was guilty of act- ing as if sex did not exist, we ‘in this sex dominated age are ‘guilty of acting as if there was nothing more.

Former Trustee Harold Hayhoe of Pine Grove, said he was inter- ested in education from the sev- eral angles. businessman, pa.- ents, and homeowner: “We are anxious to give asgood an edu- cation as we can but there is a limit to what we can pay for. I hopethe new board will not for- get the dollar sign." he empha- sized. Purpleville's former trustee. Bill Kerr, said “We had enthus- iasm in our own local area." He guessed a different type of en- thusiasm would be needed for a large area. Speaking personally -â€" I imag- ine that is the'way all of us in Vaughan feel. The educating of our children in elementary school encompasses only a few short years and yet of such importance. It is not something that we can be patient about for the time passes so quickly and the child is out of school. And it is some- thing we all want, we have a certain influence over and in, albeit that the province sets up the acts by which our schools are conducted. and the elected trustees have to make final de- cisions. ' ' We hate to lose our little schools, yet we know crowded one room schools cannot give our beginners the best start at the same time our older children must be prepared for high school by one teacher. .. .. ._ 7__J u; v-n. .‘V__-_ One decision of the new board has already been to take some of the seven and eighth grades in overcrowded one room schools to a larger_school this fall if they can be accomodated.

One can- not buy a tube of tooth paste or a cleaner for the car without some enticing female smiling at you with that “come hither look." This along with the appalling in- crease in divorce, promiscuity, and illegitimacy only underline the moral depravity of our time. If we have the intelligence to read the lessons of history, we cannot fail to see that all the great empires fell under the hea- vy load of moral and spiritual corruption, rotten to the core by immoral conduct. . The Gospel of Jesus Christ is designed, not only to deliver a man from the penalty of his sin, but also from the power of sin. Jesus Christ is concerned with the. whole life of man, and by His indwelling spirit, creates a new life within those who trust in Him. We need to pray that the Gospel of God’s grace may be so proclaimed that our society may feel the impact of its redeeming message, and renounce the dark and damning ways of life which can only lead us and our culture to destruction.

RICHMOND HILL POLICE OFFICE” RICHMOND HILL HIGH SCHOOL CANADIAN TIRE STORE Sponsored by Richmond Hill Junior Chamber of Commerce Imperial Oil Limited and A}! Canada Insurance Federation Entry Forms Available At RICHMOND HILL HELD AT Thornlen School Dear Mr. Editor:- In an area such as Richvale East, a school building can be much more than just a school. It can and should be a commun~ ity centre. Our area lacks the us- ual parks, churches and club- rooms common in a town or city and therefore our school must play a much larger role. “Dear Mr. Editor” Thornlea School was poorly planned. poorly built and poorly located. It was expensive and in- adequate. Most of the children re- quire bus service to. reach it. Considering future highway de- velopment plans, it seems folly to pour more money into a building which may in the very near fu- ture be so surrounded by high- ways as to be completely unsuit- able as a school. The possibility indeed exists, that a cloverleaf at this junction may make it neâ€" cessary to demolish the building. In any event it would appear practical, for the bresent, to make use of Thornlea as it is, to school those children from Briggs Avenue and south, who are currently using the school and add to their number "those children from Highway 7 area, now on a non-resident basis at Langstaff school in Vaughan Township. A new school would then be required for the north west cor- ner of School Area‘, 1. to be 'lo- cated on property already in the Board’s possession, to school children‘ from Bayview, Duncan Road, 16th Avenue, Hunt’s Lane and Observatory Lane. many of whOm are now attending Thorn- lea and many more being sent on a non-resident basis (which is costly to the taxpayer) to either Vaughan or Richmond Hill Schools. ' Residential (1 velopment on the north side'bf 1 th Avenue is in- evitable, therefore this school should be carefully manned for radical expansion. _ e I beg the Board not to pour any more money into Thornlea, but consider more closely our current needs and those of the future.
