In discussing Canadian writ- ing and writers, Mr. Weaver called Gabrielle Roy‘s latest book “Hidden Mountain" an in- vestigation of Canadian loneli- ness and expressed‘the opinion that most Canadian writers porâ€" trayed this feeling of loneliness. It was much more common even in poetry he felt, in such writ- ers as E. J. Pratt. Morley Cal- lahan, Brien Moore, Hugh Gar- ner and John Buchan, all, in writing of Canada, seemed to feel it was a lonely place to be. Several of the students could not understand why these writ- ers felt Canada lonely and were nnmnpllnd to write of loneliness. There is little place in TV for beginning writers, Mr. Wea- ver felt. A one and a half hour play costs something like $50,- 000.00 and even a half hour dra- ma costs $25,000.00 to produce. Consequently the producers must feel sure that it will come oft before they can invest this amount of money in it. The students appeared inter- ested in hearing Mr. Weaver and had several questions for him. It is not quite clear how- ever whether these lectures are for the benefit of the students or the staff as much of Mr. Wea- ver's time was taken up justi- fying his statements to members In discussing Canadian writ- ing and writers, Mr. Weaver called Gabrielle Roy’s latest book “Hidden Mountain" an in- vestigation of Canadian loneliâ€" ness and expressedvthe opinion that most Canadian writers por- trayed this feeling of loneliness. In the third of a series of lec- tures entitled "Impact" senior students of Thornhill Secondary School had as their guest speak- er on November 14th, Mr. Rob- ert Weaver, special programs organizer for the CBC. He is in charge of the CBC's Wednesday Night which introduces new young writers onto the air and is editor of Tamarack Review which prints the work of both established professional writers and newcomers.

Fitzgerald) When we asked Mr. Harry Simpkins if he remembered anything about the Thorn- hill Old Boys Re-union in September 1910 he replied, “Oh yes, but I was just a small boy then. I loved mu- sic and was much more in- terested in the Toronto harpist and his big instru- ment than in the visiting old-timers. After the festivi- ties in the grounds of the Thomhill Mineral Springs were over, the harpist began to play on Yonge St.. in the middle of the village. and soon drew a crowd who sang old songs with him until early morning. I stayed for a while and got a good spank- ing at home for being out so late". As he grew up Harry Simpkins found useful out- lets for his musical talent. He joined the choir of Holy Trinity Anglican Church, and became a trumpet play- er in the Thornhill Band. Hc recalled that there were about 23 men in the band which was conducted by Tom Griffiths. an Aurora foundryman.’ They had no uniforms but wore dark mil- itary caps, and drove around the country in a two horse van to play at picnics. at places like Vellore, Teston, Victoria Square and York like immediate acti shape in though ma not in s largely as ing compe fying his st of the staff lished,’ lishing more that p writer real S] Mr. Wea ada Counc force in 1 culture, kc cieties in ( aging Can really good rus out the the of 1 Yet vilI use QIRYA" 6 Lévendale Rd.

In two areas we have per- mission to teach from 8 am. to ‘9 arm. ‘ We must remember we do Lave permission to teach at 5 pm. but this poses two prob- lems. The first is the lapse of time after school closes, which means pupils would have to leave school and return later. ‘Then the time for teaching, one hour to 6 p.m.,. would not ‘allow the number of students to be taught. We only teach eight in a class which limits each school to 16 children. A restriction of this nature also cuts the teachers’ income con- siderably and makes it impos- sible to take reasonable care of‘ the extra work involved in class‘ work. “Dear Mr. Editor” on each side to operate the pumps. When I last saw it about 40 years ago it was being pulled by a team of horses down by the river. I guess some farmer was us- ing it to draw water for his stock." Mr. Simpkins can now be classed as an old-timer him- self, not because of age but because he was born. and educated in Thornhill. be- fore the era of city commut- ing began. His father. John Simpkins. came to Canada from Suffolk, England, as Harry Simpkins farmed for a period. worked for 16 years for the ladies golf club, and was sexton of Holy Trinity Anglican Church for three years. La-tterly he has been employed by the vil- lage, and takes great pride in his work around the park in the summer. When pass- ing the tennis courts one day we noticed him ruefully surveying a particularly fine flower bed in which vandals lb. 65c operate the last saw it ago it was a team of l Printing_| work, many go into other branches of music. Many class pupils will be found in school orchestras and bands. The in- struction received in classes helps them very much in going ahead in this way. We ask the help of all par- ents in requesting the board to change this rule. Thank you, Mr. Editor, for opening your columns for this letter. R.

The heads of a number of giant marigolds had been nipped off and thrown against the high fence where they lodged in the wire mesh like golden snowballs. “It just seems as if some people do not want w things to look nice" he said rather sadly. “Here we have a lovely park, free for all to enjoy, but branches are broken from the trees and a: shrubs. flower beds are trampled and destroyed, and the grass is littered with re- fuse". Regretfully we both agreed that though Thorn- hill has never been more prosperous, nor better off for educational, and recrea- tional facilities, there is a strange lack of civic pride, ’- and good manners on the ,- part of some adults, and young people. Besides the " wanton damage in the park, r. the main streets have never been so untidily strewn with cigarette boxes. tissues, "- newspapers, candy wrappers, and, deliberately smashed pop bottles. And it would be worse if business men and property owners did not continually pick up rubbish discarded on their premises by residents, who would not think of throwing it on their own grounds.
