By this Thornbank, Thornhill is almost 50, but doesn’t look it. When We asked him his receipe for staying reasonably young he said a hap- py family life, good cooking, keeping busy and retaining an interest in life should give a fellow a pretty good chance to hold back cellular decay to some extent. That busyness keynotes his ex- istence is evident when one seeks an appointment with him. While unfailingly obliging if in is at all possible, he recently has had to play a pretty smart game of nip-and~tuck with the fleeing hours in order to fit everyone into his schedule. He looks forward to a bit more leisure now, however. For the past several months, a hotel con- struction project in Newfound- land with which he is associated has cut into his time to a degree' will ‘ but in future. he says, il not be necessary for him to fly down nearly so often. ‘ time, he said, he realized that he wanted to be on his own, but bided his time. By 1946 he had served a stint with S. F. Bowser Company, Toronto, manufacturers of precision instruments, and beâ€" came factory manager. In 1946 he struck out for himâ€" self. He went into the appliance and lumber business in Thornhill. In 1950 he was dealt a heavy blow when fire wiped out his lumber business, which was not insured. He said he felt pretty low for a few days, then he assessed his position and started over. In 1950 he and an associate built a shopping centre in Thornhill, with off-street parking, the first of its kind in Ontario if not in Canada. for it was shortly after that unified plazas began to On October 22. official Apple Day, the 3rd Thornhill joined with other area packs and troops to ensure that every resident of Thornhill and district had an op- portunity to further the organâ€" ization by their contributions. At the close of their morning’s “good deed", chocolate milk and cookies were served to the boys at Holy Trinity Parish Hall. Prizes were given for the best decorated basket. The winners in the Cub competition were Peter Aimone, Norman Tytler. Charlie Sowden and Allen Hudema. Correspond- ing prizes for the Scout Troop were awarded to Paul Spafford, Mark Spafiord and Peter Trem- aine. For their meetings the last week of October, both Cubs and Scouts celebrated Hallowe’en by trading their uniforms for a var- iety of imaginative costumes. Prizes, do-nults and apple juice supplied by the Mothers' Auxil- iary, added greatly to the festiv- ity. The Scout Troop enjoyed a busy Saturday on October 29 in the Barrie area where they cut and loaded one hundred Christ- mas trees. It is hoped that the sale of these will provide :1 worth- 'while profit for the boys. The same day, the Cubs held a hike and cookâ€"out at the Boyd Conser- vation Park near Woodbridge. The “Going Up” ceremony took place on November 2 and the fol- lowing members of the Cub Pack were formally welcomed in- to the Scout Troop: Derek Carin, Keith Brotherhood, Michael Ball, Bill Garland, Allan Hudema and David Horton. The latter four boys. having completed require- ments for their second star, are eligible for their Leaping Wolf badge. The October meeting of the Mothers’ Auxiliary was devoted to helping with preparations for the annual Guild bazaar to be held in Holy Trinity Parish Hall in November.
