McLEAN (Photo by Barbour). The parents of children at Thornhill Co-operative Nursery School are much disappointed to learn that they are to lose one of their much-valued tea- chers at the end of this school year. Mrs. Margaret Kelk is moving into the city and will be unable to be with the school next year. If anyone knows of a trained nursery school teach- er. it would be appreciated if. they would let wm Hill, presi-l dent of the parent’s association know. Her number is AV. 5- 5760. While the group would much prefer a trained teacher, they would be willing to accept someone who has a sincere af- fection for children and is a- daptable and willing to learn nursery school techniques. The children of the school are looking forward to a trip to‘ Mr. Baker’s maple sugar bush on the Langstaff sideroad on A- pril 11th. The parent's as- sociation is planning its next meeting for April 29th at the home of Mrs. Ruth Joynt, 20 Uplands A- venue. A speaker from the parent education centre, Mrs. Grant, will address, the group and show a film on child discipline.

Taking part were Heath- er Forster. Kathy Wilson. Kathy Twiss. Pat Maston. Mary-Rae Corkill, Susan Keams, Penny Wilson and Valerie Lipp. Arranged in two quartets. their singing of sea chanteys and such. was very well received. The children were very pleased to be able to meet Dr. Rolph Langstafi' after whom their school is named. In the evening of the same day, the children went to a meeting of the Maple Women's Institute held at the home of Mrs. Norman Payne in Idle- swift Avenue. where they re- peated their performance of the afternoon. much to the en- joyment of the WI members.

Mr. Mc- Lean flew to Austria and Switzerland on a ski-ing holiday. The group spent nine days at Kitzbuhel. a ski resort area in Austria and Mr. McLean reports that he was on skis every day during this time. As ski-ing in these mountains can be dangerous because of avalanches and also because it is easy to get lost, the skiers went out each day with a guide and instructor, with about eight or so skiers to each guide.

Cheryl ‘Leonard - an enthusiastic Guide from lst Thornhill Guide Com- pany - gave a very interesting talk on guiding in Mexico, gen- eral information about Mexico and about Our Cabana at Cu- ernavaca, Mexico. She brought with her Mexican coins. a black? hand-made lace mantilla. a very elaborate straw hat which all the tourists find very pop- ular, a multi-colored leather belt with Mexican coins stitch- ed on. a tenderfoot pin. a Mex- ican friendship pin plus color- ed pictures, jewelry and vari< ous other interesting items. The Girl Guides found the talk most inspiring and questioned Cheryl about Our Cabana. guiding in general and about gold cord requirements. This talk given by Cheryl and be- ing familiar with her subject so she could answer all quest- ions asked of her concerning Guiding in Mexico was part of a test for her gold cord award. lst Concord Girl Guides Captain Miss Gage.
