. Dr. Gauthier introduced Mr. Allen J. Fish, business adminis- trator and supervising principal of special subject in the Oakville school system, who explained how the system was started in Oak- ville and how it was worked into‘ the curriculum. He introduced their teacher of oral French, Mr. Raymond Duplantie, Mr. Duplantie demonstrated with about twelve of Henderson’s grade 5 students who had not previously seen or heard Mr. Du- plantie. He believes in compre- hension first. "The ear loosens the tongue.” Ear perception and keen- ness are more necessary than a high LQ. Motivation was another requisite. He began by introduc- ing himself and questioning the children about their names, then went on to several small objects. His whole conversation was en- tirely in French never reverting once to English. After a break he returned to the children for an- other fifteen minutes of review and everyone was amazed that the children had by this time become familiar with some sixty-odd words of the French language. Another school - this time one of an unusual design - is being added to Richmond Hill’s already extensive list of educational es- tablishments. Work is starting on the St. Mary Immaculate Separ- ate School, which is located on Traymore Drive in the north- western section of the town. Henderson Ave. Home a; School The last meeting of the Hen- derson Ave. Home and School was held on April 17th at the lchool. It was a fitting climax to a year of interesting meetings. In spite of the usual inclement weather and the resulting muddy conditions a record attendance was noted. The usual business meeting was dispensed with. Mr. Sand introduced the speaker. Dr. Robert Gauthier. He gave a brief outline of his background as a former Inspector of schools. Dr. Gauthier is the originator of the “Tan Gau" system of teaching French. On a visit to Burma to do re- search and to help to establish Elementary and Secondary School programs his friend Tan gave him this idea of learning a second language through listening and understanding and the speaking. Thus the name Tan-Gau. Pictured here is the architect’s conception of Richmond Hill’s newest educational institution - St. Mary Immaculate Separate School, construction of which is to start shortly in the north-west section of the town.

It can have up to 10 rooms. The Unusual features in connection with it are, first. that all rooms will have “bi-lateral" lighting. That, in layman’s language. means that outside light will enter all rooms from two sides The four rooms surround a central core which will be a “gymnatorium.” Secondly, all rooms will be completely uncluttered. All lock- times per week is considered ideal. Reading is introduced the second year, but not from books but as given to the teacher and written on the board. Patterns of speech are intro- duced and repeated so often that there is no trouble with the gen- der of French nouns. It appears to be the natural way of learning a second language and if intro- duced at the grade five level when English is well established is most satisfactory. Teachers are at a premium as this course is at present available only at the Uni- versity of Western Optario.‘ The concert was announced to take place at the school next Thursday and Friday nights. On May 8th at Thornhill school a new method of teaching read- ing to beginners will be intro- duced by Mr. John Hill. All those with pre-school children‘ should plan _to attend.

Neighbourhood Notes v ,.1 , _ ‘--L AV. 5-1889 L‘Vlanuvmâ€"vvâ€" Chatting with the Wagles last week I learned that they visited Pennsylvania over the Easter week-end and were caught in a blizzard<on the New York Thru- way on their way home. Carl’s home is just outside Pittsburgh and blossoms were evident there. Lucky people, while we here feel at times Spring will ne- ver come. Elizabeth Jennings spent a day or so in Ottawa during Easter week while the children remained at home with her neighbours. Margaret Ross and Geraldine Ritchie spent a most enjoyable day on a bus trip to Buffalo this week. I heard it said this past week “that a nice spring day was one when there was no snow but when it was still too cold to work in the garden.” M'Izize 'IBéi‘EOWS of Meadowview Ave., joined the_rax}ks of grand- ._._., ,vv parents this week when their son Don and his wife became parents of triplets. It was a complete surprise to all. The three girls were born on Tuesday morning at the new Mbunt Sinzii Hospital. I am sorry to report one wee girl died later. Five lads from this subdivision,‘ Paul and Phillip Trudel, Bob and Brian Jackson and Ian Calvert, were in the gang show last week. It was such a successful effort and we were needless to say very proud of them. It has long been my personal feeling that we were cheating our youngsters of much satisfaction and enjoyment by providing T.V. radio and movies and never giving them the oppor- tunities to participate themselves. The real sense of pleasure the‘ boys derived from the show was so evident that next year there will be no trouble recruiting vol- unteers for the show. Brian Jack-I son as "John" was a surprise to all. A fine showing of the Scout Mothers from the 2nd Thornhill ‘troop were up helping with make- lup and dressing. Woodland Home. and School are holding their first Fun Fair on Saturday. May 6th,‘ from 2 pm. to 5 pm. at the school. We who know what 3 Fun Fair is should plan to attend and support this their first money- making venture. The Thornhill Lions All-Star Team managed to reach the “D” series finals played in the Brampton Novice Hockey Week but were beaten out by a lstrong Exeter Team. Ross John- son had a score of fans along to all games. ‘Neighbourhood Notes Sorry to report Mrs. Hall of Steeles Ave. is laid low with a bad throat again this week. We hope the nice spring weather arrives soon and then everyone will be feeling better. Robbie Hanson from Maple spent all day Friday visiting his pals here and attended the Gang Show before his Dad picked him up to return home. 7 Separate school population in Richmond Hill is now just under 700.

Its architects are Gilleland and Janiss: Welfare Costs Heavy Whitchurch Township tax rate will go up for 1961 â€" but not by very much. the municipal council learned at its meeting this week. The average rate for the town- ship will be 51.8 mills, an in- crease from 51.03 mills last year. or a net increase of three quar- ters of a mill. The individual rate varies depending on which school district the taxpayer is located in.

For farm and residential property the drop is 2.81 mills from last year and for commercial property the drop is 2.17 mills. The decline in town- ship spending is, however. offset by increased educational and ebunty costs Maid of honour was the bride's aunt, Mrs. Florence Carty. who carried yellow 'mum nosegays. Bridesmaids were Miss Carol Woods and Miss Eleanor Taylor. Flower girl Laurie Yates carried Beatrice Woods Weds F. G. Reynolds inbééke‘f of yellow and mauve ‘mums. The bride was given away by her father, while the best man was Mr. Eric Del Brocco. Other attendants were Mr. Dave Hum- phrey and Mr. Barry Smith. Considering the rainy night on Thursday of last week -- the regular meeting of the Kaa Pack, lst Beverley Acres Troop was very well attended, and profitable to all the members. ! Tuesday’s regular meeting of the lst Beverley Acres Troop in th: Scout’s Hall of the Beverley Acres Public School. was high- lighted by a “Dress Rehearsal" by S. M. Norman Foster, A.S.M.s {Gordon Graham and George iGray. together with the patrol leaders in preparation for their forthcoming “Father & Son” Ban- lst Beverley Acres Kaa Papk Under the leadership of Akela Tom Carney and Baloo Joan Robb, the members of the pack were given tests in reading and balance. A plant to be passed was brought by Kenny Burdett, which he had grown himself. Be- fore closing, there was a “fast game” which was enjoyed by all the members. Shere Khan Cub Pack "Father & Son" Investiture - was indeed an unusual ceremony that highlighted Monday night’s meeting of the lst Beverley Acres Shere Khan Cub Pack -- which was held in the Scouts’ Hall, Beverley Acres Public School. Asst. Cubmaster Baloo Dale Maidens (the father) along with Craig Maidens (the son). a ten- derpad cub, were invested in the "Great Brotherhood of Scouting" by the Akela, Mrs. EV. Miller. With almost complete attend- ance of the pack, the meeting was rounded out with passing of tests, games, and a social period, which was concluded by all members of the pack lustily join- ing in the “Grand Howl.” lst Beverley Acres Scout Group Spring (?) weather - of the wrong variety â€"- forced the can- ce‘lation of the Troop's full day hike last Sunday, to their campâ€" ing spot in the Gormley area.

Education Cost U1) The cost of education in the township is up almost $33,000. The 1960 cost was $233,901, and the current year’s figure is $266,- 892. The county rate, another item not controllable by council. is $14,000 more than 1960, with the 1961 figure being $67,346. Hospital grant and the building of the new home for the aged were among reasons for the in- crease in the York County levy. said Township Clerk Crawford: The township’s road budget-is to be kept down to $180,000 this year, $18,000 less than 1960. Welfare Cost Up Welfare costs show a big in- crease in Whitchurch Township. This year council is budgeting for $45,000 instead of the $30,000 spent last year.

He intim- ated, however. that the situation will be watched closely this year and the developments will have a definite bearing in council's de- cision in future. . Councillor Ruth McConkey said part of the reason for so many complaints‘against hunters by township residents in the last year probably was the inability of many New Canadians to read signs related to hunting. Pheasants Council. accepting another re- commendation from its Planning and Building Committee. agreed to meet with the Woodbridge Council on April 26 for prelimin- ary annexation discussions. Coun- cillor Maurice Windatt, spokes- man for the Pine Grove area, was ‘assured that the interests of the Pine Grove Association and their views would be protect- ed and considered respectively. In other words. the association would be considered one of the bargainers in any future annexa- tion negotiations.

BY ANN BOWMAN When the priest met the young mother and father at .he door of the hospital. they could not imag- ine "by he was there. Hours before. they had left their comfortable little home in Northern Ontario in charge of the maternal grandmother who would look after the six young children - five boys and a girl - while their father was having treatment for cancer at the Prin- cess Margaret Hospital in Toron- to. Hopeful about the treatment the father was taking, looking forward to their return within a few days to their family, they lonked at the priest with friendli- ness as he approached them. But the news the priest had was tragic. During the night. while they were on the train. their only girl and'youngest child had died quite suddenly. She had not been very well when they had left, but not seriously enough indis- posed to require the presence of their motheras well as the grand- mother. Now she had died. ' The mother and father were stunned, In dreadful anguish they turned to the priest. They must return immediately! But how? Trains Were infrequent to their home town and they had not enough money in the bank for plane fare. The priest offered what com- fort he could. Nurses at the hos- pital did all they could, and the social workers called the Can- adian Cancer Society. Through the immédiate work of “You see, there’s no such thing as a current joint savings personal chequing account... . . . these are four completely different account systems for different purposes,” the Imperial man explained patiently. “But I can’t see the difference.” “Savings Accounts are for saving. Current Accounts are for business deposits and withdrawals. Personal Chequing Accounts are for people who like to pay by cheque. Joint Accounts are for couples who like to save together and like the convenience of writing cheques on one account.” "But I still don’t know which one I should have.” “Well, you're not running a business, you have no partner, and you're not paying bills each month. That “0/ SMCA ~95 Weed [the Ontario Division of the Can- adian Cancer Society. where the ioffice in charge of patient trans- portation got immediately on the phone to the airlines office, a plane trip back home was arrang- ed for the distraught young cou- |1e at the earliest possible mom- ent. 800 poults to be released upon their receipt, and 800 day-old chicks to be raised to the age of 10 weeks before being released. Pheasant guardian and raiser for the township is Mrs. Isaac Baker. Annexation enable both councils to feel each other out on the entire question which has been kicked around rather futilely for the past sev- eral years While this authentic case is unusual. since such tragedy does not often strike in this way, it is work similar to this, work of mercy and comprehension and practical assistance in answer to real need that has made the Can- cer Society known to millions across Ontario. Wherever the financial need is great, wherever a patient requires treatment at one of the Ontario Cancer Treatment and Research Foundation Clinics in Ontario, they are either driven to the clinic by a volunteer worker, or train or plane transportation is provided for them. Arrange- ments for such transportation are made through the local Cancer Unit or Branch, and the fare is reimbursed by the Foundation. This service is only one of many provided by the Canadian Cancer Society to those suffering with cancer. Besides the many services ren- dered by the Society and its vast education programme conducted across the province, the Society also contributes 80% of the en- ormous amount of monies needed for fundamental cancer research in laboratories and universities across Canada to find the cause and cure of cancer.
