I THE LIBERAL. Richmond Hill, Ont, Thursday, November 29, 1962 Nursery School In one of the most interest in; parent meetings ever held‘ by the Thornhill Co-operative Nursery School, a group of 25 mothers heard Miss Jeannie Gnrland, art supervisor for the York Township Board of Edn- cation give a fascinating lecture on Children's art. on November 19th. The meeting was held at the home of Mrs. Ruth Joynt, 20 Uplands Avenue. Tracing the development of children's art from the “scrib- ble” stage found in the three to five year group. to the so- phisticated productions of grade 8 students. Miss Garland illustrated the various stages of development by means of col- ored slides which reproduced the children's work with all its glowing vigour. Miss Garland culled such things As coloring books. outlines to be filled in by the children, instructions by the teacher to draw a house. a person, etc., mal- practices. instead. she urt- ed that children be encour- aged to become aware of their surroundings. “Ask a child questions to make him think, but don’t do his thinking for him” she said. In this way. you would be lble to see how the mind of the child develops. (at Fairlawn) HU. 8-5406 2 bus stops below City Limits 9 am. 3 G 13411.: Friday to 9 pm.

Bis interested audience of some 20 Thorn-hill district lad- ies saw four out their friends completely transformed by beautiful boufiant wigs. Per- haps the most striking was the svelte brunette creation worn by Phyllis Hoiles of Thornhiil. which was swept back from the sides of her face but brought forward over the forehead and‘ and a small streak of white in Wigs Are Next was Mrs. Shirley Han- Ion of Stoufiville in an ex- uberant wt; of light brown. Mn. Helen Hassard made a gorgeous red-head in a golden- Auburn creation, bouffant at the {rant but very smqoth and quite long at the back. "Wiggy" Show The smallest, and perhaps because of this, most natural wlg. was worn by Mrs. Lor- raine Steckley. This was plat- inum blonde and cut quite short in a type of feather cut. Each of the wigs. Mr. Tytel informed the ladies, could be styled in approximate-bv 15 to 20 different ways.

Miss Garland advised. It consists of six parts of asbestos powder, available at any hardware, to one part of wallpaper paste, with enough water to make it easily handled. This produces a smooth soft clay which does not stick to hands or clothing. (Note: I bought a pound of as- bestos powder locally for 25c which made just 6 cups. A pound of powdered paste costs 55c and one cup was just about a quarter of the box - so there's still enough to paste a room! At one stage the mix seemed horribly sticky but I found by adding quite a bit more water, it became less adhesive and the right texture.)

Miss Garland ‘replied that Si ah things not only pleased the child but lent balance and form 1to the composition. In answer to another question, Miss Gar- land advised that the purpose of the art course in the schools was not primarily to develop artists but to give the children the satisfaction of creative work. Some form of creativity is necessary for good mental health and it was therefore im- portant that the child's creative urge be allowed to develop, and not be stifled in any way. Following the talk, Miss Gar- land demonstrated a hand pup- pet in the form of a small dog whom she called Flufiy and showed how such a puppet could be used to give the chil- dren such things as safety les- sons. The mothers then gather- ed around the large collection of paper and wood sculpture, paper bag puppets, and clay fig- ‘ures which Mlss Garland had \brought wlth her. Prices of the wig: shown var- ied from $275.00 for the brun- ette wig which was entirely hand-made to $175.00 for the blonde one. All the wigs were made from what is called “first quality" human hair. Wigs of second quality that is coarser hair (usually from Asia) cost from $79.50 up. A hand-made wig takes 60 hours to complete and can be delivered in six to eight weeks. Latest Fashion Vogue “street” wigs, which are made for people who really need a wig and are usually styled much more conventionally. Mr. Tytel stated however, that the fashion wigs could be worn in other than the bouffant styles now in vogue. All wigs are individually fit- ted and custom made for the wearer. Hand made wigs have groups of three or four hairs drawn through the light canvas with a crochet hook and knot- ted. Machine-made wigs have rows of hairs sewn into a nar- row weft which is then stiched to the canvas. Amazingly en- ough. in spite of their apparent bulk. the wigs weigh from 3 to 3%, oz.

This needs to be done every six to eight weeks depend- ing on the amount of wear and costs around $6.00. The wigs have already been permanently waved and chemically treated to keep a sheen. They don't ‘need washing more frequently because they are not worn to sleep in and there is no natural oil from the scalp to soil them. I Mr. Tytel noted that his com- 1pany manufactures approximate- ly 350 wigs per week at the. present time and these go all‘ over Canada and to the United States. An American wig, he‘ stated, can cost some $25.00 to $50.00 more than in Canada. Wigs, he stated, can last for a lifetime depending on the treat- ment they get but they estimate an average life for them of 10 to 15 years. wlg made to match your own hair.

Thomhill WI News The monthly meeting of the Thomhill Branch of the W0- Men’s Institute was held at the home of Mrs. Empringham. on Benson Avenue, Richmond Hill on November 15. There were 14 members present and one visitor. The visitor, Mrs. Escott. is from England and is staying with her daughter in Highland Park. She brought greetings from the-WI in England, of which she is a member. The motto for the month was “Do All The Good You Can To Holy Trinity International Theme At "Round The World Fair" (by Margaret 1. McLean) 1 The great deal of imagina- tion and work that went into last week's “Round the World Fair” held at Holy Trinity Church was amply rewarded by an enthusiastic body of shop- pers who swarmed through the parish hall and walked away with just about everything in sight. Held on Friday evening ‘and Saturday afternoon, the la- dies of the Parish Guild wisely held some things in reserve on Friday night so Saturday shop- pers wouldn’t be disappointed. Based on an international theme, the fair was sponsored by various groups in the church. ‘The Parish Guild was in charge of the various booths, the W.A. manned the English Tea Room, the Boy Scouts supervised the games room for the children and the girls of the GA. looked after the cloakroom. Scotland And in spite of the prepond- erance of male children in our particular clan, I was irresistib- ly drawn to the beautiful dis- play of doll clothes. And how stylish the dolls are these days! Here I picked up two charming dolls’ dresses for the two lone- ly little girls on my gift list. The first booth to greet the shoppers was that of Scotland where the ladies had a good as- sortmen-t of tartan ties, scarves and stoles, as well as change purses, cuff-links and jewellery The Oriental booth was eye- catching with a colourful dis- play of embroidered silk items and dainty Chinese tea cups. Next to it was the U5. booth of- fering such diversified items as ceramics and jig saw puzzles. The infants’ wear booth con-‘ tained a wide assortment of‘ knitted baby garments‘ embroid- ered sacques and nighties as well as knitted goods and py- ijamas for older children, all of which it was hard to choose be- \tween. all with Scottish motifs. Here I picked out a handsome wool cashmere tie in the ancient Mac; Millan tartan for $1.89. Embroidered pillow slips. sheets and table cloths were al- so to be had in great profusion, as well as gay aprons of every style. Canada The Canadian booth quite fit- tingly dfiered for sale a large display of hand knitted mittens, very cosy and warm looking. There were also several very well constructed and sturdy bird feeders for sale here, which I am sure must have found a ready sale. Heeding the parting admonition to “bring me some- thing” I obediently brought away from this booth a gay In- dian head dress which has since become the envy of the neigh- bourhood and was worn proudly All The People You Can" and the roll call was answered by each lady giving the name of some shut-in she would like the group to remember with a note. Following the short business session, Mrs. C. Thompson gave‘ a report on the area conventionl held at the Royal York on No-‘ vember 7. 8 and 9 which she at-‘ tended as a delegate. The group‘ then closed their meeting and went to join the meeting of the Richmond Hill WI to which they had been invited. Here they heard a lively debate on the question of whether grand- mothers of yesterday were bet- ter homemakers than those of to-day, with the grandmothers of yesterday adjudged the winâ€" ners. The next meeting of the Thornhill Branch will be the Christmas party to be held at the Town Inn, Richmond Hill, on December 13. The members will be asked to bring a gift of jams or jellies for cancer pa- tients who are shut in and will also exchange small gifts among themselves. To raise money for the WI, Mrs. J. Heslop and Mrs. C. J. Sinclair held a very successful euchre party at the home of Mrs. Heslop recently. There were seven tables of progres- (Con-tin-ued On Page 9) to the market the next morning Fortunately, having gone this far around the hall. I arrived at the Parisian sidewalk cafe. bright with checkered table- cloths and flowers. As this also coincided with an exhibition of square dancing by the young people of the church, it all worked out very nicely. Before going downstairs, how- ever, I stopped for a visit at the Old Curiosity Shop to admire the display of antique china glassware and other items gra- ciously offered for sale by Mrs. Irene Halliday and Audrey Dav- ‘is. Having added a charming ‘old cut glass jug to my collec- tion, and by this time much bur- dened with parcels â€"â€" Indian fieaddresses are so bulky â€" I struggled through the crowd which had grown denser by the minute and followed my nose to the home baking booth down- stairs. Here were to be found foods of many lands, Italian spaghetti sauce and pizza, English meat pies, jams and jellies of all sorts, gorgeous cakes and a variety of European breads, buns and cookies. Here I chose, as the only item not loaded with calories, a fragrant round floaf of rye bread and found to my surprise that it was still warm from the oven! It was just as good as it looked too, and melted away in nothing flat when I got it home. Then, after a short stop across the way at Vera Moore’s candy table, where I sternly resisted a plate of delicious looking pea- nut brittle and confined myself instead to two bags of scrump- tious fudge for the small fry, I struggled down to see the games room, where the Scouts were amusing the children quite ably. From there. I staggered up and out to the street, feeling as if I really had been “round the world"! And if only I could wangle an expense account out of the editor. I would love to go on such a trip every week! J. N. M ulholland, 80 Richmond St. West, Toronto Consultation by Appointment Phones : Thornhill AV. 5-3315 Toronto EM 4-2780 lEGAl Q.C.
