Hospital Auxiliary Mrs. H. R. Howden, wife of the Rector of Holy Trinity Church tells me that the meet; ing of the York Central District Hospital Auxiliary held at Richmond Hill last week was well attended, about 400 peoplel being there, and that the Thorn- hlll area was well represented, with herself, Mrs. Joy‘White- head and Mrs. E. Boyden in at- tendance. Mrs. Gaither Zinkan (who was unable to be at the meeting) is the Thornhill rep-i resentative on the auxiliary. Mrs. Howden has been named second vice-president of the temporary executive and has been given the task of drafting the auxiliary's first constitution. She has collected constitutions from Queensway Auxiliary. South Peel and the Sick Child- ren’s Hospital Auxiliary as well as several others and is using these as a guide, as wel‘. as a form suggested by the hospital luxiliary association. So if you notice her going around mutter- ’ever children are baptized into the church, both parents and congregation take solemn vows, vows which unfortunately are often misunderstood or neglec- ted. Mr. Davidson outlined what people must do as parents and as Christians if baptism is to have any real meaning to the children of the congregation. Thorn/ail!

Mr. Howden suggested two additional parish visitations, one before Lent and one in the fall, with the purpose of establishing personal contact with the people‘ and inviting them and their families to make every Sunday a family day in the church. He would like to increase the even-; her service attendance by speciali yr) ix services and publicized sermon series. He proposed a membership campaign in the various parochial organizations and an increase of bible study throughout the organizations led by the newly formed bible study fellowship. Those who attended the V - try meeting were interested in a sketch of a proposed chapel to be built into the present church structure, prepared by Col. Everett. Special mention was made of the passing of Wilfred C. Ball, who for 50 years served Holy Trinity Church. being Warden for 25 years under six rectors. Rev. H. R. Howden, Rector of Holy Trinity Church, Thornhill, at the annual Vestry meeting held on January 29th, appealed to the parish to embark on a‘ year of growth to help him cel- ebrate the 25th anniversary of his ordination into the priest- hood of the church. At first, the auxiliary will no doubt concern itself with fund raising, but eventually will pro- vide such things as a gift cen- tre, a bookmobile and a snack bar. Members are also asked to state their skills and preferences and will help in the pediatric division by amusing or feeding children, give assistance in the office and at the reception desk. Sewers and kn-itters will also be much in demand and very im- portant in a rural area will be Membership in the auxiliary costs $2.00 and Mrs. Howden re- ports that 125 members joined at the meeting. Membership may be actiVe or sustaining. (Active members give time, sus- taining give money.) The pur- pose of the auxiliary is to do everything for the patients to make them feel the hospital is a more normal place, to make it seem less institutional, and to relieve doctors and nurses by performing services for the pa- tients which do not require a professional person. a driving team to bring out- patients to the hospital. The only stipulation made is that the members must be faithful in carrying out their work. Rev.

This statement indicated that the village had started off last year with a debit balance of $1,737.40. The secretary had on hand for the trustees’ consideration, financial statements from both Markham and Vaughan Town- ships, the first time these had ever been available to the trus- tees before setting their bud- get. The statement from Mark- ham Township showed total re- ceipts as of December alst at $11,872.01 and expenses of $11,009.57, leaving a balance on hand to the credit of the village of $882.44. The report also in- dicated however. that the village had started the year 1961 off with a carry-over from 1960 of $1.075. Trustee Tuckef bointed out however, that Vaughan Town- Chairman Timmins read a letter from the Thornhill Lib- rary Board stating that Dr. R. B. Jackson had now completed his two year term on the board but that they would like him to be appointed for another term. A motion was made and carried that this be done. Garbage Collection The question of tenders for the garbage collection in the village was then discussed and in spite of the fact that the trustees were unanimous in the opinion that Mr. Reid had given‘ satisfactory service in this re» gard, it was decided to adVer- tise for tenders in order to avoid criticism from my direc- tion. Finances It was suggested that it might be possible to include the men under the township’s pension scheme. Trustee Tucker felt that within three or to r years there would be portab e pen- sions for hourly rated employ- ees and he didn‘t feel anything the village could rl'o would be nearly as much as such a pen- sion. Mr. Tucker was also of the opinion that it would not be. ‘feasible to put the village em- ‘ployees on the township pay- roll and that even if this were done, a man would have to pay into a pension plan for 15 years before it could be of any real benefit to him. “A 10c an hour raise would give him an extra $200 per year. Would that break us?” Trustee Tucker en-d- ed up. The Area Recreation Commit- tee was the next subject dis- cussed and Trustee Rob‘erta ag- reed to continue as the village‘s representative on the A.R.C. Trustee Tucker reported that the newly formed A.R.C. in Markham would not concern it- self with Thornhill. Trustee Roberts felt that the village should not do anything that Markham and Vaughan don’t do. Both Tucker and I‘im- mins objected to this. “We have only one employee and we ex- pect him to have some loyalty and show up every day," stated Chairman Timmins. “We want to treat him as well as we'can.” After some further discussion in which it was developed that the man had been employed by the village for six years and hadi started at $1.20 an hour, it was agreed to raise his wage to $1.45 per hour. Recreation Committee ‘ “It is about $12.00 per week less than the national average," stated Trustee Tucker. “It is a lousy pay.” Chairman Timmins then ask- ed Trustee Roberts for a report on the wages of the village workmen which he had had un- der review, as the men had asked for a raise. Mr; Roberts reported that at $1.35 per hour. ‘the village was paying more than both Markham and Vaugh- an Townships who pay from $1.15 to $1.25 an hour. Chair- man Timmins felt that the vill- age had to pay a little more as they had no pension plan for their employees. “They are paid $54.00 a week and given two weeks holidays with pay," stated Chairman Timmins‘ “What are your rec- ommendations?” “I would give them 25c an hour more," stated Trustee Tucker. arly every Thursday, but that unfortunately on several occas- ions it had snowed on Friday and spoiled the surface. “It is 1brushed and scraped every Thursday." stated Trustee Rob- erts. “The sanding of the roads and the pond is the only work we have to do now.” ;that Vaughan Township had ‘been sending down two men to flood the ice at Oakbank Pond every Thursday night. Newly elected Trustee Frank Tucker reported receiving a letter asking that the pond be cleaned before flooding. Trustee Roberts assured him that the pond had been cleaned regul- arly every Thursday, but that unfortunately on several occas- ions it had snowed on Friday and spoiled the surface. “It is due to pkins 11 he wm needed erts ha Mr. Sir tees f0: Latest Reports Show Thornhill Trustees Finished ‘61 In Black lic Library on January 30th, the Trustees of the Police Village of Thornhill unanimously elected Mr. James H. Timmins as their chairman for a second term. The secretary, Mrs. J. W. Lambert, was also formally re- appointed. Following the reading of the minutes of the De- cember 13th meeting, Chairman Timmins reported that he had contacted McKay Construction Company with respecttto repairs to the sidewalk on the east side of Yonge Street in the centre of the village and had also been in contact with the Department of High- ways. He had finally been assured by Mr. Miklas, Markham Township engineer that he would have this attended to as soon as possible, when the weather permits. Trustee Tucker then reported on his investigations with res- pect to the purchase of a new truck for the village. He had been advised that the village should have a 3.4; or one ton truck with heavy duty springs. ‘He had been unable to find one about three years old and ask- ed for direction, suggesting the, possible way of buying a new‘ one. “If we get a new one, we will have a guarantee and have no‘ trouble about repairs," he stated.

Mr. L. J. Ray of Ontario Hydro had also suggested the installation of a new light at Elgin and Yonge Streets. The trustees were to observe the corner and bring their ideas on the subject to the next meeting. A letter was read from the‘ B-A oil station at Yonge and Centre Streets complaining that the asphalt sidewalk to the north of their premises was rais- ed to such an extent that it caused water to collect between the sidewalk and their building. The secretary was instructed to write to the station suggesting that the asphalt pavement to the north of their building is in a bad state of repair and very unsightly and if this were re paired it would alleviate the situation. As it has been the custom of the trustees to rotate the gas and oil business of the village among the four service stations, Mr. Roberts was instructed to commence gas and oil purchases at Mr. Frank Engles' B-A Sta- tion.

[ship's statement was not dated and did not indicate when the accounts had been closed. He also noted that the last quar- ter's garbage collection fee of $951.00 was not shown on the statement. This would make the seeming surplus actually a debit of about $259.00. With the cred- it in the hands of Markham Township, however. it appeared that the village ended up 1961‘ some $600.00 to the good, which the trustees found highly satis- tying.

Trustee Roberts stated that all the roads of the village are being sanded regularly and that the previous Saturday afternoon he and Mr. Willard Simpson had very kindly spent the afternoon sanding the streets.
