Dr. Grapko pointed out that studies of high-achieving children showed that they came from families that did things to- gether, listened to each other more, and that read or went to libraries together. These high- achlevers were busier than nor- mal children, engaged in more activities, went to more clubs, 'ALVIN S. FARMER The rules of behaviour must be teachable, went on Dr. Grap- ko and will then become part of the child. These rules will de- velop the child's conscience. There are two kinds of control, he continued, direct and indirect. Direct control is used with small children when you guide them through a routine. Indirect con- trol is given by providing ma- terial by which the child can learn, music, books. etc. MASSEY - FERGUSON The Parents Group of the Thornhill Nursery School had a particularly interesting program in November. At the beginning of the month. the group was ad- dressed by Dr. Grapko of the Institute for Child Study at the University of Toronto. Dr. Grap- ko’s topic was the controversial one of discipline and he remind- ed the parents that discipline did not mean punishment. but teach- ing. In talking about the conse quences of mis-behaviour, he em- phasized that they were not for the purpose of "getting even" with the child, must not be re- taliatory, nor should they set him up as an example. These would arouse only hostility in the child. Consequences for poor behaviour should be fair, should not be im- posed to hurt the child, and lhould be related to the situation -â€"and most important. the con- lequences should be immediate. and inevitable. Unless the con~ sequences are proportional to the situation, they will cause resent- ment without learning.

The gifts are for 300 men in the Aurora Hospital and 150 men and the same num- ber of women in approved homes. There will be name tags handy to the boxes for you to put your name on and the gifts will be wrapped on December 15th by the members of the Richmond Hill Senior Citizen’s Association. This is a person-to-person cam- paign and there will be no solicit- ing of money. The whole idea is to make the mental patients feel that someone is thinking of them, and that they are wanted back in the community.

Presbyterian Church News Saturday morning, November 5th, marked an interesting “first” for the school, when they held 8 “Father‘s Day." Each of the chil- dren arrived at the special Sat- urday morning session with a father in tow (or in some cases a grandfather). The fathers sat on the sidelines and observed a slightly shortened routine, in- cluding a sing-song in which the children rather out-did them- selves, and then went outside to watch the outdoor play. Many of the fathers had helped in the construction of the outdoor equipment and it was particular- ly interesting to them to see it used. Another happy outcome of the morning was the offer of further help from some of the fathers in the provision of toys, more cupboards, etc. J. N.

A. cleared a turkey-supper 125 to students and 125 to adults. the committee, and. suggested profit of some $330: recently. Mr. Ted Toogood, the pool man- ager, also presented a most com- prehensive report. He- felt that as far as weather was concerned, the summer of 1960 was close to average, with most days suitable for swimming. but only one or two days of hot weather, with none over 90 degrees. In closing, Mr. Windsor exâ€" iron whichvhad bee; pressed his appreciation for the co-operation he received during his term as‘ treasurer. He stated that the members of the commit- tee as well as the management and stafi of the pool and the village trustees were always helpful and ready to assist at all times. “I will pass along this position with a deal of sadness, as well as a certain measure of relief," were his final words. Pool Report Mr. Ted Toogood, the pool man- ager, also presented a most com- prehensive report. He- felt that as far as weather was concerned, the summer of 1960 was close to average, with most days suitable for swimming. but only one or two days of hot weather, with none over 90 degrees. in the water from the deep well, half of the filter elements had been replaced, the use of the new Vacuum half an hour per day, plus two hours on Wednesdays and Saturdays, and the good job of picking up garbage, etc., by Mr. Simpkinsv The Department of Health in- spected and approved the tuck shop and checked the water sev- en times. Twice they found bac- teria, in early July and in the middle of July. One of these checks followed an error by a somewhat inexperienced main- tenance man and the problem was eventually solved. Algae did not become a problem until Aug ust, Mr. Toogood continued, aid- ed by the cool temperature, and it was eradicated by the applica- tion of bluestone, four times. Another factor affecting this year’s deficit was the payment to the village of the sum of $1,500. to help defray the expenses of a second maintenance man to im- prove the condition of the park and skating facilities. Wages in 1959 were $8,927.26 and in 1960, $9,453.70, in spite of a decrease in wages at the pool. This latter decrease was caused by lowered attendance at the pool, requiring less help at the checking desk, etc. Twp. Sinking Fund As a protection against any sud- den large emergency expense. the A.R.C. has been putting money in a sinking fund and Vaughan Township is now holding for the Village Trustees for the use of the Thornhill Area Recreation Committee a sinking fund in the amount of $15,000.00. This is in Vaughan Township bonds bearing interest at 41/; per cent. Interest is payable on these bonds on Feb- ruary lst and August lst of each year and on October 30th there was a balance of $782.75 accumu- lated interest on these bonds. Mr. Windsor pointed out that the pumping equipment at the pool cost $30,000.00 and it is ten years old. It could require replacement at some not too distant future. , Mr. Windsor noted in his re- port that he had been assisted in the operation of the accounts by Mr. D. Giles of Centre St., Thornhill. Mr. Giles handled the day-to-day operation of the books an arrangement which proved mutually beneficial. He did an excellent job and Mr. Windsor strongly urged that the arrange- ment be continued next year. Mr. Giles worked for the committee for a fifteen week period from the lst of June until the closing of the pool, for which he was paid $10.00 per week. The daily receipts and cheques were taken to him and he made the entries in the various journals. The treasurer continued to Sign all cheques. At the annual meeting on Nov- ember 25th. held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Stratton, 96 John Street, Treasurer W. E. Windsor submitted a comprehen- sive report to an attentive audi- ence of 18 persons. In noting the excess of disbursements over re- ceipts, Mr. Windsor pointed out that due to the unfavourable wea- ther this year, receipts at the pool were down slightly over last year, total receipts this year be- ing $14,419.50, as against $16,- 868.15 for 1959. Income from the snack bar was also down, $391.04 as opposed to $633.90 last year. However. the main cause of the year's deficit was considerable expense on certain items which ‘ will not be needed again for some considerable time. Some of these were:' shutters for pool windows, $340.09; circulator pump, $107.50; renewal and repair of 16 filters. $656.65 (three-quarters of the filters have been replaced); con- nection to township water, $277.- 71; a new vacuum cleaner for cleaning the bottom of the pool, $228.00; repairing showers and supplying new heads and water fountain for use in the park, $387.63: 100 new baskets for checking clothing, $374.63; new checking pins and plates, $138.- 60; water meter, $376.39; and a payment on behalf of the Thorn- hill Baseball League in the am- ount of $576.98. This was for the erection of a backstop for the new hardball diamond in the south- west corner of the park. When this diamond is completed, it" will enable two games to be play- ed in the park at one time, soft- ball and hardball. Plans for fur- ther improvement to this project are under way for 1961. This is not as bad as it would appear, however, as since the financial statement was prepared, a grant of $1,600.00 was forthcoming from the Township of Vaughan. After an exceptionally good year last year, the Committee started 1960 with a bank balance of $6,317.92, S0 it is still solvent and in the black by some $4,300.00. By Margaret McLean With total receipts of $17,803.21 and disbursements of $21,332.46, the Thornhill Area Recreation Committee found that as of October 31st, it had spent $3,529.19 more than it took in, during the period January 1st to October 3lst, 1960.

'I'hornhill Area The water had been kept in ex- ceptionally good condition this year, aided by the fact that the source of the water was changed, eliminating the large amount of iron which had been in the water from the deep well, half of the filter elements had been replaced, the use of the new vacuum half an hour_per_day. plus two hours A tribute was paid to the staff of the pool by Mr. Toogood, who stated that the new assistant manager, Bill McVicor, a physi- cal education teacher at Thorn- hill High School, had handled his job readily and capably. Mr. Too~ good also felt that the cashiers department was well run. and the tuck shop capably handled, but felt that the counter staff had not shown as much initiative as us- ual. He felt that they should not sign up for the summer and then ask to go on frequent holidays. At one point they had found themselves with only one boy on staff for a week when two to four were required. Filtered Pool The accident log this year in- dicated that there were 77 in- juries that required first aid treatment. “This means, they re- quired more than one band aid," explained Mr. Toogood to much laughter in the audience. He not- ed that there were only 15 people rescued, about half the usual number who have to be pulled out of the pool in any one year. Disciplinary action was taken in respect to 48 children, while there were five cases of rowdysism out- side the pool,none serious. Six bicycles were stolen from in front of the pool and there were 35 other cases of suspected theft in dressing room, checking area or on the deck. Four children were caught stealing, plus 12 caught using season tickets not their own. These latter were ex- pelled from the pool for the year. Mr. Toogood mentioned briefly the special events which had taken place at the pool, a Red Cross movie in June, the Junior Swim Meet and the Annual Swim Meet (with 200 swimmers and 500 spectators), a staff party, a Swim Meet for Woodbridge. Pine Grove and Maple, something which was new this year, and a synchronized ballet to Sleeping Beauty on September lst. The staff instructors were all Red Cross qualified -â€" a high qualification, Mr. Toogood re- minded his audience â€"- and more junior guards were taken on to help the seniors supervise their groups. About 300 students pass- ed awards and six staff members improved their qualifications dur- ing the year. It was noted that not all students try the tests, since some miss too many lessons to make it worthwhile and others are out of town at the time of testing _ the last week in July and the last week in August. 77 First Aid Cases A total of 800 ‘children attendâ€" ed swimming classes at the pool in 1960 and the only drop was in the number coming from Rich- mond Hill. This was felt to be because of the increase in bus rates. The majority of these children paid a fee of $2.00, but those from Maple, Woodbridge, Pine Grove and King paid at the rate of $7.00 for the first child in a family and $5.00 for the second. In addition to swimming classes the-re was a small diving class and a synchronized swimming class open to season ticket hold- ers. He advised a “second look" at the price of season tickets for the second, third, etc. child of each family. (There has been no charge made for any child past the second in a family.) The gen- eral admission rates of 25c for children, 50c for students, 75c for adults (50c after 5 pm.) he felt were satisfactory and should remain the same. SCHOMBERG -â€" Although this village’s streets were patrolled by the firemen on Hallowe’en three tractors disappeared» from in front of a local garage. The three have been foumi And just as an indication of how well the ARC. does do things, at the close of the meet- ing, the entire audience was in- vited downstairs to the Stratton recreation room, to partake of some of the most delectable re< freshments that have come the way of your reporter in qujte some time. Ah me, this “the meeting closed with delicious re- freshments" is just another oc- cupational hazard â€" to the waist- line, that is! With the resignation of the chairman, George Stratton, from the committee, and also that of Mr. Windsor, the treasurer, it was necessary to hold nomina- tions for new members. After considerable discussion, during which Mr. Windsor agreed to fill out Mr. Stratton’s other year, the committee was re-constituted as follows Mrs. Jo Taylor, Dr. Peter Morse. Messrs. Paul Johnson, James Timmins, Jack Mavor, W. E. Windsor, Joe Loughren and Reg. Allen. It should be mentioned that ever since the Thornhill Swim- ming Pool was built some ten years ago, a similar committee of eight volunteers has been res- ponsible for its upkeep, operation and maintenance. This committee has also been responsible for the tennis, badminton and baseball clubs and for the maintenance of the ice at the pond during the winter. I venture to say that there is not a youngster in the village who has not availed him- self of the privilege of using ei- ther one or the other of these facilities; and by the same token, would venture the guess that not more than one in ten of the par- ents of these same children real- ize that without the devotion and hard work of the members of the A.R.C., none of these facili- ties would be available for their children. So hats off to a big job well done -â€" and if at any time you feel that things could be im- proved in any way, come along and make yourself known to the A.R.C., they would be glad of your help, Mr. Allen advised the A.R.C., with regret, that he would be un- able to continue to manage the ball club next season. The group was unable to corall anyone for this job at the meeting. and the matter of a new manager was left in abeyance until the first of the year. Election of Officers Mr. Allen mentioned with ap- preciation that the boys of the baseball club had been treated to a corn and wlenet roast on September lst by Joe Goodchilds and that the Lions Club had con- tributed a trophy for the Pee- Wees, and the ARC. the Ban- tam trophy. He also thanked them fox; the new backstop. Mr. Reg. Allen gave a report on the Thornhill Baseball Club, which included 100 boys. Eighty- five per cent of these paid their $1.00 entrance fee and the Club still had $15.00 on hand, al- though they still had a bill to pay for crests. Mr. Allen report- ed that they had had two house leagues, with four teams each, and a PeeWee and Bantam team. Their schedule had ended the first week in July, he noted, be- cause they found it impossible to keep the teams together once school was out. The PeeWees had made the O.H.A. but unfortun- ately were out on the first round. Mr. Percival reported that the tennis club, under the guidance of an executive consisting of himself, Dr. Peter Morse, Dolly Ketola and Jo Taylor, had had a successful season. Starting out with $296.00 in the bank, they had collected $453.00 from fees and at present had a balance of $526.00 in the bank. This, he felt, should enable the club to instal lights on the other court. He also opined that the tennis club was the only activity of the A.R.C. that was self-sufficient, but was immediately reminded that the badminton club was also solvent. There had been 35 sen- ior and 45 junior members of he tennis club this year and instruc- tion was provided for the juniors two mornings a week. Baseball Club Mr. George Stratton, who chair- ed the meeting, thanked Mr. Too- good for his very comprehensive report and called on Ed Percival to give a report on the tennis club.

XMAS GIFT Suggestions The children of Thornhlll Unl- ted Church Sunday School have taken up a collection to buy some essentials for the family, and at the Cub and Scout Christ- mas party on December 13th, the boys are having a pantry shower for the family. On Decem- ber 6th, the W. A. held their Christmas dinner at the Church and had as their guests the ladies of the W. M. 5., all of whom brought foodstuffs for the Paj- evics. ‘ Now, just think of all the lit,- tle incidental things this family The committee has collected dishes, cutlery, a toaster and an iron, but has no cooking utensils, no coffee pot and is even with- out a tea pot. Bedding has been received to the extent of two quilts and one pair of pillow slips, which doesn't even begin to fill the need in that department. A: the floors in the flat rented for the Pajevics are not of the best, floor coverings would also be gratefully received, even a few scatter rugs. While the committee does have a certain amount of money on hand, they would prefer not to spend this on furnishings, as the family may possibly require financial support for some time. A job has been lined up for Mrs. Pajevic but her income would probably not be enough to sup- port three people, and until at least the older boy is employed, the family will have to be subsi- dized.

One day we asked Vic Phinnemore how long the family had been in this business. “For seventy-three years," was the astonishing reply. We wanted to know more about such a wow: derful record, and Vic told us that his grandfather, Jas. Phinnemore had come to Toronto from Cornwall, England as a young man. He was a school teacher, but in 1887 decided to go into painting and decorating for himself. Among his contracts were the present Union Station, when it was built; the locks of the Welland Canal; and work for Sir William Mulock. He also served for a time as a Toronto City Councillor. James Phinnemore’s son Herber H., worked \vtih him until 1918 when he started in business for himself. mov- ing to Newtonbrook in 1921. That year H. H. bought his first model '1'. and joined the Newtonbrook volunteer fire brigade whose only equipment was a hose on a two wheeled cart which could be hitched to the back of a car. As his three sons grew up H. H. Phinnemore took them into the firm, and since his retirement they have carried on with the help of about seven employees. Herbert H. jr., and Vic- tor and their families live on Elgin Street, Thornhill, and Roger in Newtonbrook. For a quarter of a century the Phinnemores have been nainting and decorating Branksome Hall in Toronto, and dur- ing the past 42 years have gained many other regular customerl throuznout the Metropolitan area, Vaughan, Markham and King townships. Their trucks bear the slogan “H. H. Phinnemore and Sons Brighten Your Way”.

THE CANADIAN BANK OF COMMERCE 7550 Yonge Street, Thornhill Bygones To Treasure We all have friends who dote on old and beautiful things, so it is not surprising that a lot of,Christmas shopping is being done these days in Penny Wise Antiques, Thornhill. Looking around at the large and varied assortment of fine furniture, china, silver, and glass in Mrs. Wilson’s Yonge St. premises, we wondered aloud what her customers were most interested in at this season. “Jew- elry”, she said, pointing out the Victorian bracelets, brooches, and earrings; sterling servers and flat silver; horse brasses for the men; pine and maple for country home owners; and decorative pieces such as that quaint Staffordshire cottage china, or those old salt glazed jugs that are so right with early Canadian furnishings. In- cidentally Mrs. WilsOn has bought the large collection of old stone- ware crocks, bottles, bowls and jars which were featured on the cover, and in an article, in the July issue of Canadian Homes and Gardens, and says that they areflselling quickly. ’PENNY' WISE ANTIQUES 8009 Yonge St., Thornhill Heré is a chaulleliéed;\711iElI---t-He good people of Thornhill can not, and will not, fail to meet.
