Once an area has been rav- aged extensively enough to kill vast forests, that area becomes a target for future gigantic fires â€"exampleâ€"the Mississauga fire of 1948 in which the boundary of the fire closely followed the boundaries of a spruce budworm epidemic area. When man uses his own com- mercial insecticides it partially controls the spread of the pest, but it hasn't yet been ascer- tained how it affects the natural relationships and to weigh the advantages or disadvantages, as the case might be, resulting from such procedures. There are about 25,000 spe- cies of insects in York County, 50 of which are numerous enough to concern the farmers, gardeners and foresters. One pest which is now at a low ebb is the tomato worm. This past summer when the univer- Mr. Rabinowitoh recalled that ‘when he was elected to the iboard in 1956,_there was no superintendent. business admin- istrator or full-time secretary. Dr. Carl Attwood, Professor of Forest Entomology, Univer- sity of Toronto, was the speaker at the January 18th meeting of the Naturalists’ Club. He gave a detailed study of the several saw-flies white-pine weevil and the spruce bud- worm, all of which cause exten- sive damage to our forests. His spectacular photographs show- ed the remarkable work many parasites do in naturally com- batting the spread of the pests. There were predator parasites. such as spiders and dragon flies which feed on the hosts; the diptera (flies) which lay eggs in the larvae and‘ under the head-‘ ing of funrgii, bacteria and virus diseases and protozoa. Mr. Sanderson paid special tribute to Mr. Ra‘binowitch. senior member of the 1962 board. He predicted the board would miss Mr. Rabinowi‘tch's legal background. “The 1963 board faces a real challenge." Mr. Sanderson warned. “This is the first time I have ever seen 50 per cent of the board throw in the sponge the same year.” "We would have been remiss if we hadn’t mentioned you for your public service", Chairman Harald Sanderson said. “Each of you has contributed in some tangible way." Richmond Hill Public School Board Thursday night present- ed the four retiring members of the 1962 board with scrolls honoring them for their service to the community. Scrolls went to Joe Rabino- witch, Mrs. Ruth Worrell. Ron- ald Firma-n and Donald Plaxton. rm-"Na ture Notes Blame Slippery Roads For Rash Of Accidents Mrs. G. C. V. Hewson‘s sub- ject for the third week in a six-week child guidance course sponsored by the local Y.W.C.A. and public library was “Person- ality and Social Development". General patterns in various age groups were indicated to show: First Year Trust and mistrust. At a very early age the infant will soon get to know that if he is well taken care of a cry from him will bring either parent to check to see to his needs. and parents these days are doing a compe- tent job where physical needs are concerned. Second and Third Year at this level is a healthy, though frequently difficult. stage. The child is ready if his feelings of comfort and trust have been satisfied to encourage him to reach out and try new things. The sooner parents learn to handle this, the better for them- selves and the child. A loss of confidence results if he is con- tinually “squelched” in his efforts. Note: "Contrariness" is normal at this level. Fourth Year Imagination and Imitation. This is the "I am what I can imagine" stage. The four-year- old begins to step out from his immediate needs and sees the not uncommon for him to be- ‘lieve he will be something dif- iferent “when he grows up" sev- ieral times a day! Parents hear isome fascinating “stories” at ‘this age. Independence is be- coming stronger and physical activity often "rambunctious”. This is one age fathers can play an important part by taking little trips to the fire hall and other local spots of interest. con- struction sites, etc. Fifth Year Industry. “I Am What I Can Do."

One farmer who thought his to- matoes were badly infested had two students come, but they only collected a pint and a half from a large area. The cecro- pia moth larva has also been attacked by disease and that accounts for the absence of co- coons this winter. The tent caterpillar is return- ing and is definitely on an up- ward trend. It will possibly reach this area abundantly with- in two years. Dr. Attwood had photographs showing how beau/- tiful this caterpillar can be at close range. En masse they are far from being picturesque and we shudder when we think of 2,000 defoliating a tree within a few hours. When this happens to a poplar tree it eventually comes out into a second feeble leafing and survives, but the‘ birch is apt to die. The tent caterpillar never eats poison ivy, sumach and, very rarely, red maple. The influx of winter migrants has been very slow this year. There have been only two ob- servations of evening grosbeaks (flock of around four), one sncva owl and one hawk owl. Bob Campbell has had a female goshawk as an unwelcome visi- tor to his farm. “Members of municipal and county councils aren’t in {he same class as school trustees when it comes to hard work and intelligent discussion.“ Mr. Plaxton stated. Ronald Firman, who served for two years on the board. ex- pressed regret flhat a change in provincial legislation had forced him off the board be- cause he was still am English citizen. Mr. Plaxton, who has served on both Richmond Hill and York County councils, explain- ed he had only served on the board for a year “to satisfy his curiosity about how the schools were being run.” “I can remember going out to what is now Beverley Acres that winter to have a look at the subdivision, see how many homes were being built, and decide how many new rooms we would need," he recalled. Ex-trustee Worrell. who was first elected in 1960, called for continued attention to the pro- blem of educating exception-a] children. Imagination and Imitation. This is the "I am what I can imagine" stage. The four-year- old begins to step out from his immediate needs and sees the world about him. The imagina- tion works so rapidly now, it is The lst Jefferson Cubs ahd Scouts enjoyed a skating party on Saturday at Richmond Hill Arena with about 30 in attend- ance. After skating they were treated to hot dogs and hot cho- colate at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. McFee. Bathurst St. Peter Gould and his father attended the open house for Toronto model railroaders at the model railway factory in Toronto on Saturday afternoon. They were also on hand at the CNR station in Richmond Hill Sunday morning to see the steam train on its special excur- sion to Washago. This train was chartered by the Upper Canada Railway Society. The group committee will be holding a meeting on February 3 at 2.30 pm. at the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Ensor. Mr. Wm. W. Zimmerman is still in Sunnybrook Hospital convalescing from a heart at- tack. We hope Mr. Zimmerman will soon be able to return home. Miss Linda Drew of London, England, whose parents live on The Community Club treated the children of Jefferson School to an hour’s skating at Rich- mond Hill Arena on Friday af- ternoon. Social development was wide- ly discussed and the subject of the shy child was raised. Par- ents were asked to let the child make her approaches in her own ‘time. “Ease and patience" were two words to remember and at- tention drawn away from the shy child to what he could do would result in greater confi- dence in himself through his ability to perform something well. Confidence in himself can be achieved with lack of pres- sure from parents in situations; i.e., sharing should not be for- ced. The shy child will soon learn that his toy, if held by‘ someone else for a few minutes,‘ does not mean it is lost forever. Efforts in trying to accomplish a task should be praised, not the result. Often fear of fail- ure, without even trying will re- sult in a child's withdrawal. Help and encouragement along the way of a task, with “Oh well, you may get it next time” shows the child whether he ac- complishes the task or not you are still "with" him. Buzz-sessions were formed during the cofiee time and the questions arising from the spir- ited conversation resulted in the recollection of some humorous anecdotes Mrs. Hewson related. An enjoyable free discussion concluded this session, and next week should prove interesting when the subject will be “Fam- ily Situations". Neighborhood Notes Fifth Year Industry. “1 Am What I Can Do." Parents may say: “What! Industry from a five-year-old?" But school work becomes inter- esting, children engage in stren- uous outdoor play. and they do lwork hard at what they do. Schools are making good use. as a result of child study. of children‘s needs today. They are no longer required to be still for long periods of time as they used to, and the programme is varied so as to include short- er, more productive, periods rather than long dull ones. Par- ents can develop a sensitivity to needs here, and even if pre- occupied. take a bit of time to help with. i.e., a quiet pre-bed- time game. It rarely fails that parents are needed when the newspaper is most interesting. but completely normal in the best-run homes! Six to nine years is an age when the child is able to carry a task to its completion â€" he may need reminding, of course. Parents were asked to help the child find out what he needs when school tasks are issued; and not to do it for him. This gives him the opportunity, after obtaining the necessities for the project, to do it on his own.
