Lately the trend is to allow local people to entertain these children weekends or Sundays ‘for tea’ in their own homes. Needless to say, their hosts en- joy the experience as much as these well-mannered young- sters who always seem to wear a smile. Local Lady Supervisor The Orange Home is now supervised by a local resident, Mrs. Katharine Williams, MBE, with Crawford Bea-tty as ad- ministrator, and John Moore acting as welfare official and director of public relations. Mrs. Williams is assisted by Senior Housemother ' Miss Scott, and six other house- mothers; two [night nurses. a cook, a seamstress and three Orange Home Undergoing Large Renovating Program Familiar Landmark Many people, new to this area. know the Orange Home only as a landmark set in a beautiful 37-acre tract of greenery, two miles north of the hear-t of Richmond Hill on Highway 11. Then began a long crusade for funds. All the Loyal Orange Lodges. including the Ladies Orange Benevolent, rallied to IMrs. Hilton’s aid and by 1919 the building committee had purchased the present 37-acre site for $15,000 cash. They do not know the story behind it, which is part and parcel of its foundations. I A building that has ser- ved as a. community hall at Victoria Square. Bids to be received by August 18. Ever since the Loyal True Blue and Orange Home for children was opened, July 2, 1923, the board of directors have been striving to run the lovely red brick building, with its white columns and trim, as a real home â€" and not as an institution. And to further their plans an extensive renov- ating program has been carried out within its walls. The big, wide-open dormitories are gradually being changed into roomettes: first for the senior boys; later the girls‘ dorms will undergo a change too. Just two years later the first sod for the excavation was turned. And in 1923. when the $300,000 building was complet- ed - it was ‘paid in full‘, from the campaign funds. Fittingly enough, Mrs. Hi1- ton, who had inspired the idea and carried it through to fruit- ion, was elected first president Highest or any tender not necessarily accepted.

At present there are 74 chil-‘u dren enrolled, 12 having ‘gvra-i duated' from the Home at the E end of June. 1 There is a wellâ€"rounded pro- gram, and from September to June, three bright classrooms are run by a woman and two men teachers. 1 When the children pass their entrance at the Orange Home they attend, by bus, the dis- trict high school either at Richmond Hill or Thorn‘hi'll, de- pending on the course taken. The Richmond Hill Jaycees have ‘adopted’ the children of the Home and assist them in their sports and entertainment pmgrams. during the school months; as does the senior boys’ housefather. Ja-mes Mil- field, who is also coach and athletic teacher. As proof of the good sport- manship these boys are learn- ing at the Orange Home, Mr. Milfield proudly announced to our inquiries, that the Orange Home team won the top spot on the Protestant Yowth Coun- cil Soccer League/this year. In the course of the year vis- itors often drop into the home} in groups or singly, and make‘ the “grand' tour” from base- ment to attic. They admire the nursery rooms, with their little beds, gaily bedecked with colorful quilts, and pandas, dolls, or other stuffed toys - favorite's of each little tot who lives there. It was on July 2. 1923. that the wide doors of the home opened officially and the first children entered into its haven and care. Since that day no child up to the age of 11 years has been turned away. Children come from broken homes. or from a home bereft of a mother or father. but all have some- one. somewhere, in the background.
