The Hi-C’s began their regular Sunday evening meetings on Oc‘ tober 2nd and had as their guests the Unionville Hi-C group. As an ice-breaker, a get acquainted game was enjoyed, followed by a Bible quiz. Lemonade and cookâ€" ies were served but afterwards the group discovered, to their dismay, that they had eaten not onLy their own cookies, but those intended for the Young People‘s group which was holding a sep- arate meeting.

I hope that you are all now well over your introductory cold of the season‘ and able to enjoy the lovely fall weather we are hav- ing. Your industrious correspon- dent is scurrying about ferreting out the news for you, This is mainly done by attending as many of the village goings-on as a patient husband and substitute baby-putter-to-bed will endure. and phoning each week the sev- eral spies, from whom I painfully extract a few morsels.

Mary Gage and Lucille Trudel received “Gold Cords” last week, from Commissioner, Mrs. McTag- gart-Oowan. This was a very great honour as this is the high~ est award in Guiding, and these two girls are the third and fourth girls in this company to receive these awards in the twelve years that the company has been form- ed. There were over ninety guests at this very impressive ceremony. We have every reason to 'be most proud of the girls and their leaders. Last Saturday the Guides enjoyed a hike, it was originally planned for the “Master Feed Farms" but when the girls were greeted by livestock they left rather hurriedly and continued their hike at the Robinson Farm adjoining. School Sports Guide Notes Saying thank you for material gifts or great favors is automatic with most people. I’ve often thought that all of us take the ordinary tasks that other people per- form too much for granted. Those who serve you, are. as a rule, paid for the job, but your expression of thanks can add new dimensions to their lives because they come to know their efforts on your behalf are worthwhile. I imagine that there are many people who long to hear those two words who hear them seldom, if at all. There is the mother who cooks splendid meals for her family and the father who works hard so that his family may have their share of the good things in life. Are children thanked for being co-operative and friendly with their family and other people with whom they come in con- tact? I wonder if the house wives appreciate their door- to-door services. We should be thankful to the baker, the milkman, the cleaner, the grocer and the paper boy for their necessary services. Do the wage earners bother to thank the elevator men and women in downtown buildings? Perhaps bus and taxi drivers do not expect thanks, but I’ve seen looks of pleased surprise on their faces when someone smiles appreciatively and says “Thank you!” Cashiers, bank employees, ministers, doc- tors, nurses, teachers, librarians, civil servants and sales clerks are not averse to being thanked. Why not? The contributions they make to our lives are certainly worth it. How about a great big thank you to all the unpaid workers of volunteer organizations. There isn’t a walk in life where someone isn’t giving unselfish and devoted service. We owe a debt of gratitude to all who render us a service. God speaks to everyone in our “Thank you”. It is a way of blessing ourselves and each 4 1,1, , other. By Elizabeth Kelson ‘ A Chinese philosopher knowingly said, “Whenever you say thanks to a friend, the corners of your mouth, automatically go heavenward and your eyes must look for the moment of expression as though they were listening to music.” CORRESPONDENT: Mrs. HIGHLAND PARK NEWS Telephone: 'll (/er '.

Dial service was introduced in 1952 and the dial exchange building extended in 1955. Recalling the history of the telephone in Thornhill, Mr. Barnes said telephone service was introduced here in 1888 when a line was built to Richmond Hill. This was a long distance of- fice only, and was managed by Lindsay, Francis and Co., prop- rietors of a local store and post office. W. C. Barnes, local manager of the Bell, said this week that these extra facilities give the ex- change some 5,000 terminals, and will take care of the normal growth of the district for the im- mediate future.
