Vice-Chairman of the Township of Vaughan Public School Board: “My wish for all of us, and especially for the children who will be the future citizens and leaders of tomorrow, can best be expressed with a. quotation from a poem written by a woman and given to the world by King George VI in a Christmas message, which reads: “1 said to the man that stood at the gate of the year, Give me a light that I may go out into the unknown- Mrs. Kathleen James, member of the York Cen- tral District High School Board: “My wish for 1962 is that the cause of education be supported with en- thusiasm, and that the parents realize how important it is for their boys and girls to get a good education. I wish to see these youngsters adequately prepared to face life in this complex world and that they may enjoy a good life as well as make a good living. As for me . . . ‘God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the in things I can, and the wisdom to know the difierence . Mrs. Ruth McConkey, the first and only woman member of Vaughan Township Council: “As a person who is interested in world affairs, and as a wife and mother who desires the feeling of peace in her home and community, I look forward to peace on earth and good-will between all the nations. On the home scene, as a municipal officer, my theme is for more co-operation between our municipalities for the fur- ther good of all our people. I refer to Markham, Richmond Hill and Vaughan in particular.” . By Elizabeth Kelson New Year’s Greetings and Best Wishes to all for the coming year from eight women of good will, holders of public office in our area, who have some wishes of their own which they would like to see come true in 1962. Mrs. Margaret Southwell, the first and only woman member of the Richmond Hill Town Council: “If I have a wish for 1962, it would be that the thoughts of the world’s leaders would be diverted from bombs for war to atoms for peace.” Put your hand into the hand of God; That shall be to you better than light and safer than the known way.” Mrs. Irene Worrell, member of the Richmond Hill Public School Board: “I have two wishes. On the Canadian scene, during 1962, I wish to see Federal legislation which would permit the Children’s Aid Societies to place children for adoption regardless of religion. On the local scene, I would like to see a family counselling service staffed with skilled perâ€" sonnel to serve Richmond Hill and immediate vicinity whereby people could avail themselves of guidance and counselling thus aiding in the prevention of often desperate and serious home situations.” Mrs. Ruth Castle, member of the Richmond Hill Public School Board: “I wish that people may come to have a greater understanding of youth. I go along with this quotation all the way. ‘What youth needs is less critics and more examples’.” Mrs. Louise Aimone, newly elected member of the Township Area, No. 1, Markham Public School Board: “My wish for 1962 is in common with almost everyone in the world. I share the prevailing hope for peace and rational behavior between nations. However being a woman and of a practical nature, it seems natural for me to make another wish . . . one tied more closely to my personal world. Here, too, my wish is shared by most women . . . that I may be able to serve my family and my community to the best of my ability. Since 1962 offers me this chance 'to serve my community as a woman in public office, my wish is that I may measure up to the challenge offered by that office.” Mrs. Barbara Langstaff, retiring member of the :3: York Central District High School Board: “I have ’I chosen a passage from “Footpaths To Peace” by Hen- and ry Van Dyke because it seems to express the creed £3 that I wish we may all try to follow during the com- iof l ing year. i IV “To be glad of life, because it gives you the chance ‘ of love, and to work and to play, and to look up at the stars; to be satisfied with your possessions, but not : contented with yourself until you have the best of them; to despise nothing in the world except false- ness and meanness; to fear nothing except coward- ‘ ice; to be governed by your admirations rather than by your disgusts; to covet nothing that is your neigh- ‘ bors except his kindness of heart and gentleness of 5 manner; to think seldom of your enemies, often of your friends and every day of Christ, and to spend as much time as you can with body and spirit in God’s out-of~doors . . . these are little guideposts on the footpaths to peace‘ ” In?
