This is just one of the many‘ fleets of Ontario history which were Illuminated for 85 grade '7 and 8 students of Thornhill Public School on a bus trip to Penetanguishene on June 11th. Accompanied by their princi- pal, Mr. John Martin, and three rteachers, Mrs. Littlejohn, Miss .Dalglelsh and Mr. McElhinney the two bus-loads of excited youngsters left Thornhill short- ly before 8 am. arriving back at the school, not noticeably subdued, at 6 pm. Group 3 of the U.C.W. held Its June meeting in the form of a picnic held at the home of Mrs. G. Stanley Robinson at Duclos Point, Lake Slmcoe on June 13th. A sumptuous buffet was offered by the hostess and after a friendly hour a short business meeting was conduct- ed by the president, Mrs. Lor- raine Denby. A game of bingo followed with several of the ladies winning attractive prizes. The ladies all agreed it was a delightful climax to a winter A! THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hi“, Ontario, Thursday, June 20, 1968 United Church News Thornhill Public School Did you know that Richmond Hill is named after the Duke of Richmond who died there as ‘the result of being bitten by a pet fox? In between times, the chil- dren amused themselves with chatting. singing and, of course, "eating. Indeed they ate contin- gually throughout the day and ‘bow any of them ate a morscl of supper is beyond me. Thoughtful mothers had of course provided substantial lunches and these were further upplemented at every oppor- nity with potato chips, pop- corn, chocolate bars and pop. One young stalwart had a kit bag which contained not only a generous lunch. but a ther- u'ios of hot cocoa. binoculars, two books, a pamphlet on em- ergency measures and two decks of playing cards! There is a boy who has taken the Scouts' famous motto seriously! He was still contentedly munch- ing a sandwich at a quarter to six on the return trip. Driving under overcast skies all the way, the group arrived at Penctang at 19 mm. to meet with a mist of line rain. Nothing dauntcd, however. each bus took aboard a guide for which Mr. Martin had ar- ranged earlier, and set out on a tour of historical points in the area. One of the guides was Miss Anne Magnus. a native of Pene- tanguishene and a retired . school teacher. Starting at Oak Ridges. where he pointed out that the small creek which comes from Lake Wilcox is the east branch of the Humber River, Mr. Mar- tin kept up an intermittent commentary throughout the trip, drawing the children’s at- tention to various points of geographical and historical in- terest. They were shown where the old Yonge Street cars ang- led across to go to Schomberg; the height of land just south of Aurora to the north of which all water flows to Lake Simcoe and to the south of which wa- ters flow to Lake Ontario; the Holland River and canal which drain the fertile Holland Marsh. They were told to watch for and count the huge ridges of land just south of Coiling- wood and gasped at the height of the ski jump they saw in that area. . Her enjoyment at having a class of brightâ€"eyed youngsters again was quite evident, and her enthusiasm for the early Canadian history of the area was quickly communicated to them. First, Miss Magnus point- ed out a plaque commemorat- ing the explorer Franklin who stopped at Penetanguishene in 1825 on what was to prove to be his last trip to the Arctic, Students Enjoy Trip Into History By MARGARET I. MCLEAN Community Happenings In Work on the new Rose- lawn School on Camille Road is progressing well, reported Trustee Warren Bailie to Vaughan Town- ship School Area Board. Thursday evening. Floors in five classrooms have been poured and all floors should be finished within a week. The boiler is being installed and the roof is almost finished. At the old Richvale School. slated for demolition at the close of this school year, salvage- able equipment is already being removed. Trustee Baille also re- ported that good water in adequate supply has been found at the schools at Work Progressing Thornhill and District News TELEPHONE AV. 5-2331 The children left the buses to go inside the historic Garri- son church called St. James- on-the-Lines. “0n the lines" re- fers to the "lines" or borders of the military establishment at Fort Penetanguishene. The church was built in 1836 and is still in use. A curious feature which was noted was the un- usual width of the centre aisle. This, Miss Magnus explained. was because the soldiers used to march in four abreast. She remembered too that as a child, she had seen the pews carved with names and initials of the soldiers, but these have since been sanded off. At the Anglican church, the children were shown a plaque commemorating a stop made there by LaSalle in 1680 on his way from Michilimacinac when his boat the Griffin was wreck-‘ ed at Manitoulin Island. Miss Magnus also pointed out the newly completed old folks home, Georgian Manor, and the general hospital run by the Order of the Grey Sisters. She reminded the children that Penetang had been built up or- iginally on lumbering indus- tries and in the early days had had five sawmills. As the lum- ber in the area was removed,‘ however, the mills were moved further north to the source of‘ supply. Miss Magnus recalledi seeing the huge booms of logs coming down the bay to the mills when she was a child,‘ but now there is only one plan-‘ ing mill left in the town. for he was lost there and never returned. of work. The first project for the fall will be a coffee party and talent sale in October. Behind the altar in the church there Is a beautifully hand-carved panel done by men of the regiment and paint- ed in the regimental colors of red, white and blue. Not far from the church the children saw a small log cabin and were told that when the military establishment was abandoned in 1850, the soldiers were pensloned off, given a plot of land, material for a house and farming implements. This cabin was the only one left of these soldiers’ homes and was occupied until last year. Descendants of the sol- dler still live In Penetang. Edgeiey, Patterson and Elders Mills. Chairman Sam Kaiser thanked the board for their co-opera- tion in securing an ade- quate supply of drinking water for these schools, re« marking that it was the first time in 100 years that two of these schools had had a satisfactory. supply. Trustee Bailie commented that the matter could be controversial. but it was the feeling of the property committee that as long as these schools were open, even if it was for a limited time only, an adequate supply of good drinking water was a right children and parents should expect. On one wall was a double wooden plaque. One side was empty and the other commemorated the death in January, 1837 of one Sergeant Wm. Glas- cott. Miss Magnus told her fascinated audience that after a night of roistering in the village Sergeant Glascott and another sol- dier had been found fro- zen one of them already dead, on the road back to camp. In order to make an example of them, their superior officer, Captain Moberley had the double plaque erected in the church, setting forth the complete story of Sergeant Glascott’s death. The other soldier who had been ex- pected to die too, recover- ed. however, and his side of the plaque remained blank. Captain Moberley is buried in the churchyard, and subsequently. some charitable person had the wording changed and the mention of the cause of the fatality removed. At an executive meeting of the U.C.W. on May 27 it was decided that they would hold a food fair on October 2 and an oppor- tunity sale on November 2. The ladies now have the summer to plan these two events, so watch for news of them in the fall, as they are sure to be worth- while. “The Liberal" is always pleased to publish items of lnteresi contributed by its readers in the Thornhill are. . , . _ . .

The publishing of beans tori Arriving back in Penetang proper about 12:30 p.m., the children had to eat their lunch- es in the bus, it being too wet to eat in a park. By 1 p.m., however, the weather had cleared sufficiently to allow the promised boat cruise to‘ take place, much to the child- ren's delight. This was taken on the “Penetang 88" a trim little craft, originally designed and used as a sub-chaser in World War II. Although it was still very cool and more than a little breezy on board, the‘ youngsters thoroughly enjoyed a trip down the channel past Beausoleil Island, past Honey Harbour and through the 15-} lands out into the bay. The re-‘ turn trip took a little more‘ than two hours. with the chil-‘ dren's enthusiasm undiminish-l ed to the end. ‘ After taking on board a fur- ther supply of the absolutely essential potato chips, popcorn, etc.. etc., etc., the buses left Penetang at 4 pm. and arrived back at Thornhill in good order. But don’t let any of those kids tell you they were seasick. Sick they may surely have been. but the “sea” had little to do with it. At Fort Penetanguishene. the children were greeted by two students of the University of Western Ontario who explained to them some of the back- ground of the fort. The only building left standing is the former officers' quarters and this houses an' extensive col- lection of relics, illustrating vividly the life of the soldiers of the fort. The children were fascinated with the old unl-‘ forms, swords and guns, in- cluding a small cannon, said to be the oldest in Canada. bear- ing the date 1630. i All this of course calls for a lot of extra effort and en- thusiasm on the part of prin- cipal and teachers but it ap- pears that the staff at Thorn- hill School have what it takes. So here's to them - and thanks for inviting the press to go along on this last trip. It was an education in more ways than one!

This year both kindergarten classes have made excursions to Centre Island; grades 1 and 2 vis- ited Edward’s Gardens; grades 3 and 4 went to Piâ€" oneer Village; grades 5 and 6 toured Fort York while grade 7 were on a conduct- ed tour of Boyd Park. The two special classes went on the trip to Boyd Park and some of them also went on the Penetang trip. 0n the trip up “the lines" to the site of Fort Penetanguishene. M i s s Magnus reminded the chil- dren that Champlain had passed through the area and camped across the bay in 1613. At Huronia Park she pointed out n cairn where she saw in 1921. chiefs of the Enron and Iroquois Indians ceremon- iaily bury a hatchet as a symbol of the end of the feud between their peoples. Then the Anna Buck Mis- sion Circle held their monthly meeting under the leadership of Mrs. Minton C. Johnston as president, Miss Gladys Stevens and her committee. The program stressed the work done by Grande ngne and Feller Institute in Quebec and was illustrated by a skit entitled “The Open Bible for French Canadians." Misses Stevens and Stringer, Mrs. Martin and Mrs. Ellam each played a very excellent part in this skit. A social time and refreshments completed a most ‘lnteresting and successful ‘evening. ‘The Wanderer: A ‘pot luck supper was enjoyed on the spacious lawn after which a miscellaneous shower sponsored by the W.A., was given to Mrs. Goadsby’s new daughter-inâ€"Iaw, Elaine, a very recent bride. Wednesday evening, June 5th, was the occasion of a triple event for the ladies of Thornhill Baptist Church. The W.A., Anna Buck Mis- sion Circle and friends met at the home of Mrs. R. G.

Stratton and Robin McLean started off with packsacks on their backs to hitchâ€"hike their way out to B.C. Of course it may happen that they find they can't live separated from the open door of a refrigerator, so they may not get that far. Only time will tell and I'll keep you posted. Keith Corkill was to have set off an a similar adventure. but I haven't heard whether or not he has left yet. How about giving me a call and letting me know what your youngsters are doing for the summer? It would make interesting reading for the ones left at home.
