It was‘ the first show of the year and‘ the entries of violets and house plants were outstanding. Gomme of the Ontario Horti-i cultural Society loaned over fifty slides of roses which were viewed with delight. This was1 followed by a panel discussion on the six steps to success in growing roses. Mr. King spoke on the planting and pruning of roses. Mr. Stothers on_ the feeding, spraying and cultivatâ€" ing. and Mrs. Dolan on the pre- paring of roses for show.

But don’t think from this that :a nursery school is a quiet, sub- ‘dued place. There is a constant hum of chatter and laughter at all times. When boisterousne'ss ‘becomes evident, howaver, the teacher‘s quiet reminder “Inside voices children” is enough to bring the noise once more to a reasonable level. If you would like your child to have the benefit of nursery school next year, call Mrs. Mary Cosen’cino at AV. 5-3766 as en- rollments are now being taken for next year. The staff of the school would also be happy to have anyone visit the school and follow the routine with the youngsters for a morning. So call Mrs. Cosentino and she will arrange it for you.

And watching these happy youngsters who bhoroughly en- joyed themselves but with no pushing, pulling, loud voices and no reprimands from any of the three teachers or half a dozen mothers present, it; was hard to believe that they were the same group who had come to school last September. On their first day in school playground they‘ quarrelled, snatched things from each other, slid down the slide on top of each other and ran crying to _tzheir mothers -â€" just “)y the grace of God they car. “1nd again, not on the same mm m a higher level.

Thomhin Nursery School The tots from Thornhlll Nur- sery School were the guests of Richmond Hill Public Library on the morning of April 19th. Here they were treated to a lively puppet show and had a delightful story told them by Mrs. Fred Israel. After this they spent a happy time examining the books in the young child- ren’s section. only by my little notebook. the tall, dark and handsome stranger with gn_e was my husband! The questions followed quick- ly, the main one being whether Dr. Rodgers had found a finan- cial "angel" to underwrite the trip. The director replied that a long-time enthusiast for the choir indeed had volunteered to help make the long-dreamed-of overseas trip a reality, but that the backing of the university and some payment towards their fares 'by the students themselves That man is Dr. Bruce Rod- gers, Director of the School of Music at the University of Puget Sound, Tacoma, Washington, who will conduct the Adelphian Concert Choir in Willowdale, in Earl Ha'ig Auditorium on May 3rd. The time will be 8 pm. and the sponsoring organization thel Thornhill United Church Choir.‘ The University of Puget Sound is an institution of ap- proximately 1800 full-time stud- ents. with the liberal arts stud- ies at the core of its program. The‘ School of Music is one of five schools at the University. with 13 professors on its fac- ulrty. Dr. Rodgers will soon end his tenth year as head of that fac- ulty and as conductor of the Adehphian Con-cert Choir, which is singing 12 concerts in Eng- land, Scotland and Ireland on its current visit. The news that the Adelphians would not be going to Pocatello, Idaho; Modesto, California; Win- nemucca. Nevada; and Salt Lake City, Utah, among other places, on its annual tour this spring, but instead would jet across the pole to the British Isles brought expressions of amazement from Dr. Rodgers’ colleagues. A bus- tling individual with crewcut reddish hair, Dr. Rodgers met such expressions with a beam- ing smile, and the added news that the tour would include a concert in renowned Town Hall in New York City. , Care & Growing 0f Roses Featured At First Thornhill Show Of Year When a choir which has de-, veloped a fine reputation in 30 years of traveling the western United States breaks the tour pattern with a trans-polar flight. one might guess that a man of unuswal ability is involved in the decision.

Representatives from the Anglican, Baptist, Presbyterian and United Churches are co-operating in the school and a commit- tee has been appointed by the Thornhill-Richmond Hill Ministerial Association. Be- cause the committee did not feel the regular promot- ional literature quite suit- able, a project has been started among the inter- mediate Sunday School children of the area to make posters advertising the school. The facts presented on the posters must be read- able, but all other pictures and decorations are left to the discretion of the indi- vidual designers. The pos- ters are to appear in June. The United Church has de- cided to produce 10 posters. with the help of senior Sun- day school students. The vacation school will be held from July 9th to the 19th at Holy Trinity Church. The stafi will rep. resent all denominations and the staff heads will be attending a leadership train- ing course to be held in To- on'to during May.

Let's Get Canada Moving Again The influential US. financial magazine Barron’s this year said: “Canada’s Conservative govern- ment for more than four years has adopted one misguided economic and fiscal policy after an- other.” The indecision, mal-administration and the lack- ing initiative of the present Conservative govern- ment in Ottawa has cost Canada 300,000 jobs and 14 billion dollars in lost production, based on the rate of growth Canada had developed prior to 1957. That works out to an economic slowdown of $3,000. a family or $800. per person . . . or $100,000,000 a week and $10,000 a minute. A lot of slowdown. Bungling, Self-Contradiction In the April 7 issue of Maclean’s Magazine, Peter Newman, its Ottawa correspondent writes: “After nineteen months of ministerial bungling, complicated by prodigious self-contradiction and genuine uncertainty, the Diefenbaker government has at last come up with a trade policy toward the European Common Market." Then Mr. Newman adds: “The Canadian plan amounts to little more than a belated bow to the bold initiative of President Kennedy's trade ex- pansion act." From Slowdown to Speedup ' The Liberal Party of Canada which governed in Canada's most prosperous times, is determined to change the slowdown to e. speedup in the eco onomy. John Addison, as a. member of a. Liberal Government will put every effort into helping to create such prosperous conditions. He himself is a. successful businessman who can lend an energetic hand and a knowing mind to this eo- onomic situation. But, our exports have been lagging. Our whole economy has been drifting. While Europe . . . devastated by the war . . . has been moving forward with seven-league strides, this country once called “Tomorrow’s Giant” has been oper- ating like a weakling. In the years after the last war, when Canada. reached full maturity as a nation, this country established itself as a leader among the middle nations and a major influence on the great powers. It also knew an unprecedented prosperity. A heavy volume of this resulted from foreign trade. Canada has always been an exporting nation. Without exports, this country would wither and dry up economically. Every individual in the nation benefits and profits from our external trade. ~ PUT YORK NORTH BACK ON THE MAP (lauded by the York North Miami Ansel-um)
