Very moving and beautiful was the Service of the Carols where passages from the scriptures were interspersed by carols_ A Christ- mas meditation “A Knock at the Door” was read by Rev. H. Veals and all those attending were in- vlted to partake of the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper.

These are Persian miniatures and are well worth seeing. They are provided by the Art Institute of Ontario. Christmas Lights Some words of appreciation should be penned for the Thorn- hill residents who so beautifully decorated their homes for the Christmas season, to the great delight of the little ones â€" and to more than a few adults as well. Mr. and Mrs. Stothers’ home on Centre Street was particularly attractive with coloured lights, floodlights and Santa and his Reindeer. The view across the pond at night was one to bring cheer to all who saw it. Friend husband was moved to remark “The winter would certainly be dull without Christmas, wouldn’t it?" and certame the gay dis- play of lights almost made the early dark welcome. I. for one, was quite in tune with our two- year old when he jumped up and down. clapping his hands, and yelled. “Hurrah‘ Hurrah, Christ- mas lights!" So thank you, kind people for a litle boy’s enjoyment and for mine.

Horticultural Christmas inner And Prize Night The Pajevics attended the Christmas Eve service at Thorn- hill United Church and returned to the home of Mr. and Mrs. J, W. Lambert. On Christmas Day, they attended the morning service at the church and had Christmas dinner with Mr. and Mrs. Tom Harrington at their home on Charles Street". Monday, they spent at the Lamberts, where Dusan and Branislav became firm friends with the three Lambert boys, John 15, Peter 9 and Steven 7.Although the Lambert children know no French and the Paje- vics speak only a very little Eng- lish, the boys seem able to com- Thornhill'sTwo Refugee Families Enjoyki Their First Christmas In Canada: (By M. I. McLean) Although the Bencic family of Henderson Avenue, who arrived in Thornhill early last summer, can hardly be any longer termed ‘refugees’, they were no less thrill- ed by a first Canadian Christmas than were Mrs. Pajevic and her two sons, Dusan and Branislav, who arrived in our midst just a few days before Christmas. Both families rev- elled in a Christmas tree, gay with lights- bulging stockings and traditional Canadian Christmas fare. When she arrived at the comfortable apartment on Yonge Street; Mrs. Pajevic was moved to tears at the sight of the softly glowing tree which stood in the living room, and in broken sentences recounted how she and her sons had marvelled at similar trees they had glimpsed from their train window on the long trip from Halifax. To find not only a fully equipped home ready for them, but also a lovingly decorated tree was more than they had ever dreamed. The Thornhill Horticultural So- ciety's annual Christmas Dinner was held in the new auditorium of Holy Trinity Anglican Church on December 15th, and the mem- bers and friends of the society present enjoyed a delightful ev- ening. Seated at the head table were Mrs. J. Bridges, the retiring pres- ident. with Mr. Bridges, Mr. Alan Foster the new president for 1961 and Mrs. Foster, and Mr. St. C. Tennant. past president of the Ontario Horticultural Society and new director for 1961 of the 15th district, with Mrs. Tennant. Also at the head table were Mr, Tom Pherrill, a past president of the society, with Mrs. Pherrill, Mr. Alan Sumner, Mr. Arthur Bone and the Secretary-Treasurer Mrs. C. Fletcher. After thanking the directors and also the members for their support during the three years of her presidency, Mrs. Bridges read out the past season’s prize win- ners, While Mr. Tennant made the presentations. Mrs. Harris was awarded both the T. Eaton Company Trophy for the total number of points in the flower sections and a special prize for the highest points in the rose classes. Mr. and Mrs, Manning had the outstanding number of points in the specimen section, indicating that they have a good garden, well under control. Mr. and Mrs. Healey gained the high marks in the decorative section. The fruit and vegetable section. which is gaining in popularity, was headed by Mr. A. Turnpenny, a staunch supporter of these classes ,closely followed by Mr. F. Teasdale and Mr. J. Halllwell of Concord. Mr, B. Jenkins, one of the newer members. came into his own, winning the Four Roses Trophy for special classification for Hybrid Tea roses. He was also awarded the Percy Bone Trophy By Elizabeth Kelson Eveyone knows that we need food and drink in order to live. Cut off our supplies and we should die of hunger in a very short time. Man does not live-by food and drink alone but by inspiration as well. With- out inspiration for the soul, even adequate supplies of food and drink are unable to provide any more than a lethargic, apathetic and colorless existence. What is inspiration? The dictionary tells us that it is the act of breathing in, or the state of being intellectually and emotionally stimulated. The essence of it means a conâ€" tact with a power compelling creation as an expression. Such contact enables us to make a visible creation in our material world. The Bible is an inspired book and time has proven that it has power to inspire others. All through its pages are references to inspiration that is born of a contact with a Higher Power. “As thy day, so shall thy strength be,” I feel the word inspiration would fit in here. According to your inspiration will be determin- ed how well you are able to adjust to whatever happens to you. Calling upon God for inspiration never fails. Life is oftentimes difficult. Failure, disappointments and discouragements face us daily. But if we have received inspiration from somewhere, it doesn’t make too much difference what happens. Inspiration puts a new spirit into our tasks and gives us the courage and strength to face our difficulties. How to get inspiration in other ways is easy. We can get it from good books, contacts with stimulating friends, music, art and many other things. One needs to become sensitive and receptive to this wonderful world, and the many fine and inspiring people who live in it and whose knowledge and experience goes far beyond our own. A well defined purpose in life continually opens the door to inspiration. You cannot store up inspiration against emergencies or dry periods, You must go to the source of your inspiration every day of your life. It is the nature of men to aspire. Once we are in- spired, the task is easy. All great accomplishments are the result of inspiration. The trouble with so many of us is that we feed our bodies but neglect to feed our spirit which also requires sustenance. This month, the name of Jesus will be heard again and again in prayer, hymn, carol and sermon. We recall the wonderful story of his birth as the “Babe of Bethlehem”. It was that same Jesus who said that man does not live by bread alone but also by the inspiration of the Heavenly Father. ‘ll uer municate with little trouble. The Pajevics were surprised by an unexpected visitor of their own on Monday, a young Jugoslav whom they had known in Paris and who had come to Canada on the same boat with them. This intrepid young man had made the trip by bus from Hamilton, where he is living, to Toronto, and thence by bus to Thornhill. Enquiring at the drug store, he was directed to the Lamberts’ home and enjoyed a visit and din- ner with them and the PajeviCs. Tuesday, the Pajevics determined to visit "friends of friends” in Toronto and John Lambert vol- A highlight of the after dinner program was the colourful figure of the new president, Mr_ Alan Foster, who in his kilt of the Hunting Macintosh Tartan, led his class, with Mrs. Foster, in Scot- tish Country Dances. Their dem- onstration dances were both de- lightful and helpful to the many members who were enticed onto the floor in increasing numbers as the evening wore on. The Ring- Bowl game limbered 'up the turn- key lovers present and the oper- ators of the skittles stood up very Well to the fast-moving and un- canny aiming of the balls. During the intermissions, a quiz on cer- tain vegetables and fruits was held. and some of the astonishing answers were the cause of much merriment. Among those enjoy- ing the fun were Mr. Wilfred Dean, the new reeve of Markham Township for 1961, and Mrs. ‘ Dean, happy to relax after the re- cent municipal election campaign. The fine Christmas dinner serv- ed by the Holy Trinity caterers was appreciated _to the full, as were the tasteful and colourful decorations of the hall. The pres- ident and directors were con- gratulated on a well-planned ev- ening. for an arrangement in the August Flower Show. Mrs. K. Falla car- ried off the president’s special prize for a three year member. The marks showed a big increase by the new members again this year, which should be encourag- ing for would-be 1961 members ~â€"- and a stimulus for bigger and getter things from older mem- ers. Mr. R. C. Poulter, a past presi- dent of the association, made a short speech and a presentation to the retiring president. Mrs. Bridges replied briefly and stated that her services would still be available to the society whenever needed. iningd man who had forgotten to change his sign at the end of the- run and was still labelled “Erindale”, they might still be waiting there, The Pajevics received many lovely gifts from members of the congregation of Thornhill United Church. as well as a fine hamper of groceries from the Brownies. A quite unexpected gift. however, was that of a toboggan from Miss Welsh of 33 Centre Street. Miss Welsh had been the surprised winner of the toboggan in the lucky draw sponsored by the local merchants, and rather at a loss as to what to do with it herself, had the happy thought of giving it‘ to the Pajevic boys. Along with the Lambert boys, they gave it a trial run on Thursday, and pronounced it in fine running order. The Pajevics had their first English lesson on Tuesday even- ing, December 27th, when Mr. McGhee started them on the course of lessons which he and Mrs. McGhee had volunteered to give. Mrs. Pajevic started work at the Shouldice Hospital, on Tuesday, January 3rd. Dusan will try to find employment and con- tinue his draughting studies at night. Branislav will concentrate on studying nothing but English for the balance of the school year and it is hoped that he will be ready to fit in at Thornhill High School by next September. Meanwhile. tne Bencics are making steady progress with their English lessons, with Mr. Bencic and three of the older children attending night classes. The Ben~ do children, with the exception of the two youngest, are all at- tending St. Luke’s Separate School and are prog'resing fav- ourably. For both these families, 1960 was certainly a momentous year which wrought great changes in their lives. For 1961, we wish that they might find in their new homeland, peace, friendship and contentment. A CHEERFUL OUTLOOK Each New Year brings new hope to all of us, and more help to our sick ones. According to Mr. Hal Harley many newly perfected drugs were introduced in 1960, notably an oral polio vaccine which is very effective, and new tranquilizers for the mentally disturbed. Mr. Harley, a pharmacist and prescription specialist, works closely with doctors and makes it his business to keep informed about trends in medicine, and the results of recent research. He believes that the troublesome common cold will soon be a rarity, and that cancer. polio, and heart attacks will cause us little trouble, just as those former killers, diphtheria, typhoid fever, smallpox and tuber- culosis are now easily controlled. Said Mr. Harley, “As soon as new diseoveries are perfected for safe use. physicians are informed, so it is wise for anyone with a serious ailment to keep often in touch with a honafide doctor. Someday, perhaps soon. a cure will be available, and he can be trusted not to offer false hopes.
