The prizes were much apprec- iated and the ladies were high- ly gratified by the generosity of the various merchants in donating them. Mrs. C. Thompson and Mrs. C. Sinclair were appointed de- legates to the York Rally in Vellore this month. They were instructed to vote as they felt best for the W.I. as a whole. Sympathy was expressed on the passing of Mrs. W. Riddel, a former president of the W.I. from 1930 to 1932. A tribute was sent at the time of her passing. Letters of thanks were/read by the public relations con- vener. Mrs. Sinclair also read a letter from Mrs. Swabey re- garding the picnic. Happy birth- day was sung to all members having a birthday in June, July or August. Mrs. Thompson re- ported on the Guelph Confer- ence and said it was most in- teresting. A report on the dis- trict annual conference was also given by Mrs. Thompson. Fina-l plans were made for the picnic, after which the meet- ing adjourned and the members enjoyed a cup of tea and re- freshments. With a most congenial driver, 'and a perfect summer day, some 30 ladies, members and "riends of the Women's Instit- ute started out at 10 am. on June 27 for their annual pic- nic. The picnic this year was, held at the home of a former' member of the W.I., Mrs. 11. Swabey. at Oxtrail Farms. Glencross. Mr. and Mrs. Swa- bey have 90 acres and have deeded 10 of these for a Boy Scout camp; each year some 5,000 Scouts enjoy this delight- ful spot. After a coffee break at Orangeville, the group arrived at the Swabey's in time for lunch, which was much enjoyed under the beautiful shade trees.‘ Following lunch, a lively games session was held and such games as spin the plate. kicking the shoe, carrying a peanut on a spoon and memory tests were much enjoyed, with many priz- es and lots of laughter. The ladies then went on a tour of the grounds and rested at the outdoor chapel where they sang with reverence the “Song of Peace". Relaxing under the shade trees. having a game of cards, or just chatting. the afternoon passed swiftly. At five o’clock. the ladies of the Hockley Valley W.I. ap- peared and served a delicious supper to some 40 ladies. These ladies had spared no effort, had brought their best china, silver- ware and tablecloths and had a tastefully arranged centrepiece of roses on the table. The food was delicious and the table so well laden that there were fears expressed that it might collapse under the load. On be- half of the group, Mrs. P. Bone thanked the Swabeys for their kindness in making the day such a pleasant one. She also thank- ed the Hockley Valley ladies for their kindness, and ment- ioned how fortunate they were in having Mrs. Swabey as a member, as her loss had been keenly felt when she left Thornhill. After many good-byes, and. leaving with reluctance, thel ladies boarded their bus which ' At the 11 am. service 01 June 24th a picture, Sallman’: "Head of Christ." was dedicated in memory of the Rev. and Mrs. John Locke.

In 1840. following the break- up of the Family Compact and the establishment of responsible government in Canada, a system of county administration was formed. . The area now comprising the} counties of York. Peel, Ontario1 and Simcoe established a public school system of education.

The next school built by the section was of clapboard and situated on the south-west corner of Lot 5 on Con. 3. It was used until the present building was built in 1874. Among the other early teach- ers of the school were: Leonard S. Klinck, who later became president of the University of British Columbia; and the Rev. Dr. D. McGarrol. who became moderator of the Presbyterian Church in Canada. The school has been well kept and is in excellent repair. The area board office will be moved into it this month. Closing of the school was made imperative by the growth in the nearby area. It is also the board’s policy to avoid mul- tiple grade classrooms Where possible.
