The executive responsible for this fine line-up of meetings this year is as follows: President, Mr. Pat Trant; ‘. Vice-President Mr. Phillip .Townshend-Carter; Recording iSecretary Mrs. Roma Moffatt; -Corresponding Secretary Mrs. lKay Burgess; Treasurer Mr. -Don Macleod; Social Convener Mrs. Isobel Huckvale: school )board representative. Mrs. Joy McCaskill. (This last named position is a relatively new one, but one which could well be adopted by other associa- tions. The representative attends meetings of the school board and reports to the associntion. A repre- sentative of Henderson Avenue School attended T.S.A. No. 1 Markham board meetings last year, and so also did 3 represent- ative, I think, from Wood- land School. It has been my impression that the boards are both pleased and flattered to have this inter- est shown in their work.) Woodland Home a: School I‘QDI'WGIW L. 2‘79 :9: v The Woodland Home 8; School Association also got off to a very good start with their first meeting of the season on Sepâ€" tember 19th hast.

Mr. Hellman re- minded his audience that the children in this year's kinder- garten class were bom in 1957 ‘and would be 43 years of age in the year 2,000. The school's task was to groom these people for life at that time he stated, and it was therefore of the highest importance that the ed- ucational system keep up with the times. Following Mr. Hellman’s in-teresting address. the parents dispersed to the various class- rooms where they met their children’s teachers who each gave a brie! talk on the course of study {or the year. Coffee was served in the teachers' room. In an attempt to improve both membership and attend- ance, the Woodland Association adopted a new method of gain- ing members this year. Each member of the executive was given a certain area to cover and called personal-1y on the parents. inviting them to join the home and school association and attend the meetings.

Jardine. president of the W.A. presided at the meeting. The hymn: “Simply Trusting Every Day" and “How Firm a Foundation" were sung as requested by members who had been sick and found the hymns helpful. Mrs. H. Eilam. leader of the south group then took charge of the meeting and after the devotional on “House Cleaning" given by Miss G. Stevens, Ma's. A. Lennie intro- duced the guest speaker, Mrs. Jessie London, associate editor of Chatelaine. It was interest- ing to learn how the magazine was set up, of the research that went on to find out what women 1were most interested in know- . ing and the many articles writ uten to stir women to action.) During the discuSSion period, . an objection was raised by one ‘ of the ladies to an article in a recent issue and it brought forth some laughter when Mrs. Lon- don revealed that she had been the writer and it was based on her own experience. Mrs. Lon- don also said editors are pleas- ed to receive letters agreeing or objecting to articles for by this they know women are interested in current day subjects. After thanking the speaker. Mrs. Eilam closed the meeting with prayer. The October meet- ing will be a family night with a pot luck supper and enter- . tainment provided by local talent.

Postpone Meeting It was stated that this action was taken because the proposed dates clashed w‘ifih dates of other conferences and meetings with similar interests.
