The Parliament is sponsored each year by the Ontario Coun- pll of Christian Education, a non-denominational organiza- tion, and by the Ontario Boys Work Board. The purposes of the Parliament are four-fold: First. to provide boys with the Pme‘tunlty to assist in the planning for participation in‘ and the evaluation of an ade~1 quate program for boys within; the church; Secondly, to chalâ€"‘ lenge older boys to Christian living: third, to assist the mem- bers of the Parliament to devel- op the art of public speaking; and fourth; to provide experH (By Margaret McLean) As promised last week, here is the story on the Older Boys’ Parliament.

Following the opening, the boys all took an oath of allegiance. “I hereby promise that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to the King of Kings."

This is to be done by selling shares in denominations of from $1 to $100. Although he pledged to raise only $50.00 in this way. Ian Calvert has set himself a personal quota of $500 to be raised by himself and the groups with which he is connected.‘ Youth week is to be either the first or second week in Febru- ary and Ian will have his cam- paign ready to go by then, op- ening off with an appeal from the pulpit of Thornhill Baptist Church. And as you will recall? that this young man was the top salesman at Thornhil] High School’s recent chocolate bar selling campaign, selling 250 chocolate bars (at 50c each) I haven’t a doubt in the world that he will make his quota. Not only is he sincere but he is am- bitious, energetic and well spok- en. And he is speaking for a worthy cause, so have your cheque books ready. I think we will all be hearing more of Ian Calvert in the future. MCI-12 .l. 7!. Mr: Roi Woollings, 158 Crest- wood Road passed away sudden- ly last Friday, December 29 at Mr. and Mrs. Frank Beckett and family, Appleton Road mo~ tored to Biloxi, Mississippi to spend Christmas and New Year's with Mrs. Beckett's brother and family, Sgt. J. G. Calder his home. Funeral service took place at the Murray E. New- bigging Funeral Home. Mt. Pleasant Road. on January 2. In- terment was in Mount Pleasant Cemetery. An interesting fact was that although these two men lived just 1,000 miles apart in their native land, they could not com- municate with each other ex- cept in English. There are 15 major languages spoken in India and some 400 dialects. Where previously these various groups could communicate only in Eng- lish (and everyone didn't know this) Hindustani is now being taught to all children in the schools and Within 10 years India will have this one lang- uage common to all sections of the counu'y. This. plus the grad- ual disintegration of the caste system would, our visitors felt. contribute greatly to India’s ad- vancement and progress. Wetchnixht Services Watchmght Services were held at Holy Trinity end the United and Baptist Churches in Thornhill on New Year's Eve and were well httended. Guest preacher at the service in the Thornhill United Church was the Rev. D. T. Evans of Thorn- h-ill Presbyterian Church. Solo-‘ ist at this service was Mrs. Hugh Martin who sang “O Gath- ering Clouds" and Bainton's “Ring Out Wild Bells". From January 8th to the 13th a Week of Prayer Services was held at Thornhiu Baptist Church each evening from 7 to 9 p.m., arranged by the district minis- terial association. The Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper was observed at Thorn- h‘ill Presbyterian Church, Sun-‘ day, December 7th and will be also observed at Thornhill Una ited Church _on January 14th. Tuesday, January 16th, will mark the inaugural meeting of the United Church Women. New officers will be elected and un- its will meet briefly to discuss their plans and meeting times. On Sunday, January let, the inaugural service of the United Church Women will be held and guest preacher will be Rev. Miss Erla M. Currey of Chalmers Un- ited Church, Ottawa.

Our youngest son, who celebrated his fourth birthday just a week ago was just as fascinated with the visitors as the rest of us and confided as he was being tucked into bed, “I know who those men are. They are the ones who brought the presents to the Baby Jesus". I didn’t re- peat this interesting conclusion to our guests however, as one was a Moslem and the other a Hindu and I wasn’t quite sure how they would take it. Messrs. Jambnlinzam and Kuhn are both electrical engineers in Canada studying the design and( operation of electrical installa- tlons here. They were both‘ happy to find that contrary to their expectations, Canadians were uniformly warm and frien‘ dly. Dinner lasted until well after 9 pm. as we sat around the table asking and answering questions. “What is the signifi- cance of the Christmas Tree?". "What are Mormons?" they wanted to know. And after all these years, I learned why the cow is a sacred animal in India. Because it provides milk for young children it is considered as a second mother and is there- .fore sacred. This has a certain rationality, doesn't it?

Mulholland, Legal Q.C. 1 Mr. McIntyre pointed out that the new certification will not go into effect until September 1. 1963, and will not afiect any teachers presently in the em- ploy of the Richmond Hill Pub lic School Board. Standard One will be issued to teachens on leaving teacher’s college. Spec-1 iaJ precautions are being taken‘ to protect all those presently engaged in the teaching profes- sion. Mr. Gordon McIntyre, super- intendent of public schools in Richmond Hill, after studying the new plan of certification, said, “This will not make any difierence here as it follows quite closely the present salary schedule used by Richmond Hill and most boards in Southern Ontario. It is merely giving pro- vincial assent to what has been common practice. The local board encourages its teachers to acquire better qualifications by providing extra remuneration for certificates earned in part- ‘time or summer study. Its sal- ary schedule parallels the four standards approved by the de- partment, except in one instance. Teachers' federation officers said the plan would encourage more teachers to improve their qualifications and obtain uni- versity degrees. It meets re- guests by organizations of tea- ‘chers, trustees and parents to recognize and encourage advanc- ed teacher training. "The department’s standard three requires ten university or professional courses, with a minimum of five university courses. The local comparative standard is more lenient. It also requires 10 university or professional courses but will ac- cept any combination of these." Pauline takes great pride in her artistry and shows a perâ€" sonal interest in each customer. Every coifiure is individualized, taking into account the many factors that determine the choice of style. ‘ Reaction by local educators to the new plan for certifying elementary school teachers. as announced recently by Premier John Robarts, of the Province of Ontario. who has retained the portfolio of Minister of Educa- tion. is generally very favour- able. The feeling locally is that the plan will make little difference in this area where present schedules of salaries for elementary school teachers al- ready provide remuneration for and recognition of certificates secured in summer and part- time study. “Ohez Pauline" is owned and operated by petite blonde Paul- ine Bracey-Gibbons, who is one of the best advertisements for the elegance and beauty that can be achieved through a visit to her beauty salon.

It's logical that teachers and the depart- ment should have the same ideas on this subject." Mr. Hat: old Sanderson, vice-chairman of the Richmond Hill Public School Board said that he had not had time to study the plan: ‘thoroughly as yet. but continu- ‘ed, “If it makes for better tea- chers, then it is a good thing â€" but if it is used merely to get more money, it is no improve- ment." Mr. Sam Kaiser, chairman of the Vaughan Township School Area Board, on being asked his reaction, said. “I think it is a very good idea, although I don't think it will make any change in our area, as our salary sche- dule is already providing pay- ment for certificates received from summer and part-time study." ‘ Standard Two is Standard One plus five university subjects or five summer teaching meth- ods courses, or any combination of them. Standard Three will be Standard One plus 10 univer- sity or professional courses and Standard Four is a university degree plus one year at teach- ers’ college. Trustees Statements in Puis and a year at one of Toronto's leading beauty salons preceded her arrival in Rich- mond Hill. A member of the ladies' auxiliary of Branson Hospital, her time is given free- ly to physiothernpeutic work. The plan states that a Stand- ard One certificate will require a minimum of grade 13 with one year of teachers' college. which might lead one to assume that there is more than a bit of truth in the current rumour that the twa year teachers' college course for grade 12 graduates will be discontinued in the not too distant future. The special six weeks summer course. intro- duced some years ago to help‘ reduce the shortage of public school teachers has already been withdrawn. In less densely pop- ulated areas some teachers who took this special course are still employed and it is doubt- ful if the new plan will affect them in any way. _ When interviewed by “The Liberal," Mr. Allan Parker, chairman of Markham Town- ship School Area Board No. 1, expressed satisfaction with the new plan. He said, “It brings the department of education's standards closer to those of the teachers' federation.
