The BuHIe With Bottle Idiots The whole of Yonge Street is of great historic interest. Slashed throu h the virgin forest by Sim- coé’s ork Rangers in 1797 it was the main artery for the development of this area. A' plaque at St. John’s Anglican Church, Jefferson, com- memor‘ates the short-lived French settlement, and another at the Sum- mit Golf course indicates that Gov- ernor Simcoe paSSed this way. South of Newmarket is the old Quaker meeting house. They admit defeat, it seems, and think it sensible to assume that the the piggish human who parks some- where to drink, and heaves his empty beer bottle through the car window, will always be a piggish human. and will keep on heaving his empty bottles at roadside. Such a tour or tours in this area would have an abundance of sites to visit. First point of interest would be the pioneer village at. Finch and Jane. The trouble caused for Bruce farmers, it appeared at a recent meeting of the Bruce Federation of Agriculture. is that snow removal work in the winter is strewing broken glass in farm fields. The snowpbws pick up the beer bottles from the Shoulders of the road, and blow them out as glass fragments in the stream of snow blown across the fence-lines to farm fields.

And it is quite possible that such tours might also add to the coffers of the spOnsoring organization. Many people of the district are not automobile owners and would wel- cbmé the chance to see their own area. Doubtless they would be join- ed by those who do have their own C81“ but are interested in learning about their Own countryside. A highland regiment was mar- ched overland from Halifax to gar- rison the new Fort Penetanguishene, and passed along Yonge Street. Struggling along this thoroughfare small 'g‘roups of insurgents armed only with scythes, pitchforks, clubs Farmers in Bruce County are ready to abandon hope that roadside beer-drinkers can be taught to behave like decent human beings. r The Orillia group has taken bus- loads of interested people from the district on Sunday tours of historic sites and scenic beauty spots. A commentator has gone along to point out the places of interest and to tell something of the history which should make them of interest to all citiZens.

They want the bottling com- panies to be compelled by law not to use glass containers. ‘ In Bruce County, the farmers want the weight of the law to be applied against the breweries, dist- illeries and soft-drink bottlers; they have no faith, evidently. that the law can ever be successfully applied against the slack-jawed idiot who drinks and leaves.

Recently she took some children to the O’Keefe Cen- tre to see the Royal Ballet. She received special per- mission to take the children backstage to watch the dancers warm up. Mrs. Garson says she is particularly fond of ballet because it is the background of all dancing. The practice of his art helps to promote good posture, grace and ulture. She encourages the children to cultivate at emotional ahd poetical fire in their. dancing so t ey can project the beauty of the performance to their audience. Besides being proï¬cient in the art of dancing, Mrs. Garson is an accomplished musician, having studied music since she was ï¬ve years old, she has a degree in music from McGill University. Background music for her dance pupils is very important to her. She tells them, “Do not just think of the ballet. Think of the dance itself. Think of it as a beautifully, exciting, moving thing, and try to instil this feeling in your audience." Mrs. Garson has about 70 pupils in her present Richmond Hill studio in all categories of the dance. Her pupils recently ï¬nished their ï¬fth recital. Report has it the whole Show was the very best that Mrs. Garson ever produced. The show moved very fast, and the variety and manner of presentation appealed to everyone present. In between recitals, the dancing school has put on many beneï¬t shows for charitable, religious and hospital organizations. Speciï¬c ones have been a number of churches, St. John's convalescent hospital and the Villa. “This sort of thing is good for me and for the children. We are always glad to do something for others,†she said, “if anyone wishes to call me from a legitimate organization, we will be glad to help anytime." She considers dancing as one of the highest forms of culture. She loves it deeply and she tries to instil this lové in her pupils. “When I see my pupils perform on TV or see them doing a number in the Bolshoi, or in other media, it is‘ as if I’m in there dancing right 310111: with them. I really feel then that I've accomplished Something." P.S. Brian Toogood, talented pupil from Mrs. Carson‘s studio has recently won a scholarship from the Canadian National Ballet School which is to last until he Completes grade 12. Congratulations, Brian! When she came to Toronto she opened the Keelesdale Dance Studios eight years ago, and she has only recently given it up. She has lived in Rich- mond Hi1] and maintained her Richmond Hi1} studio for the last six years. It kept her very busy running the two. Never have I seen so many small animals in all my life. The woods up here in the Almaguin High- lands literally crawl with rabbits, porcupines and skunks. It’s getting so I hang my camera right by the door. The other day I snapped a huge pprky climbing up a hemlock tree. (I'm not so afraid of porcupines since I’ve learned they don’t really shoot those quills at you. You just have to get near enough so they can lash you with their tail. You can Just bet, I won‘t get that close.) They do not say: “Here. you must not look at my flowers. It is I who have planted them and nursed them along to their present beauty.†No! They listen to the promptings of their artistic and generous natures and invite you silently to behold the work of their hands. And they will most likely send you home laden with many blossoms or an armâ€" ful of Michaelmas daisies. Mrs. Garsrm's love of the dance even invades her philosophy of life. Before coming to Toronto, Sylvia Garson had a dancing school in Montreal for over 200 pupils. She,- herself, studied with the Rubinoff School of Dancing in Montreal, and also under Prince Gagarin, a famed Montreal dancing instructor. Mrs. Garson has been dancing ever since she was three years old, includes every form of dancing in her repertoire, and teaches ballet, toe. tap, acrobatic, interpretative, character, Spanish baton, and modern jam. GARDENERS ARE THE ARTISTS OF THE LAND SYLVIA GARSON INSTILS LOVE OF DANCING IN HER PUPILS All during the spring months, they dig. sod, prune, plant and cultivate. And for some time I have been enjoying the fruits of their labors. Every walk I took along residential streets was a rewarding experience. I recall the brief season of the crocus, daffodil and tulip. The golden loveliness of forsythia and flowering Currant has vanished, and so have the lilac blooms, but the memory of their distinctive fragrance lingers on. The Japanese quince and the spirea have had their day too. and the pink weigelia gives her faded blossoms to the wind hourly. June is the month of roses, and there is scarcely a garden that does not boast of a climbing rose or exhibit varieties of tea roses with their delicate colors. What a ï¬ne privilege it was to walk by these gardens on a warm spring evening. I found that many gardens have their own special blooms. I have been handed a rose by a gardener who Specialized in roses‘ as a reward for my sincere admiration of his handiwork or hat/e chatted over mother's prize pennies or delphiniums and exdaimed over a plot of exotic begonias. In each case I came away with a wealth of information to be used at some future time. The nicest thing I can say about gardeners is that they are amOng the World's most unselfish people. God bless the people who plant and care for beau- tiful lawns and gardens. They always did give so much pleasure to the passerby.
