Woodland Home 8; School The first meeting of the sea- aon for the Woodland Home and School Association was held on September 23. President Mrs. Marie Briden presided, in- troducing committee members who gave reports on their plans for the year. The program committee plans to follow the theme of a book supplied by the Ontario Federation of Home and School entitled “Meet Your School Age Child". The ensu- ing meetings will investigate the child's hereditary factors and how they influence him, the influence of the child’s physi- cal environment and of his so- cial environment. Members of the audience were handed a questionnaire and a folder for study before the next meeting. At that time, those in attendance will form into small groups to discuss various questions outlined in the folder and will then come together again to pool their conclusions. This meeting will be on November 25. After the purpose of the fol- ders was explained, Principal G. Learn was introduced and he in turn introduced the mem- bers of his staff. The parents lean Turkeys "In" AI Thanksgiving BY DORIS FITZGERALD Warm sun, gentle rains, and the good earth have brought us another bounti- ful harvest and it is a treat to walk through the York Farmers' Market, Thorn- hill, on Saturdays, to see all the wonderful vege- tables, fruits and flowers grown in this district, and to chat with the farmers. Last week a number of poultrymen were taking or- ders for fresh killed tur- keys, ducks and capons, and one of them, J. Dun- ning, ' told us that many regular customers come to ' his stand for lean turkeys. “They are high in protein," he said, “and much wanted by people with heart con- ditions, and those who must eat fat free meats." Once raised chiefly for such "gala”'"oécaslons as ' Thanksgiving and Christ- mas these delectable birds are now available at any season.

It llr 1.: a Thornhill Secondary School An interesting evening of folk singing has been planned by the Board of Student Senators of Thornhill Secondary School for October 11 from 9 to 12 pm. They have invited the well-known folk singing group “The Travellers" to perform and are expecting a big turn- out. One member of this group, Mr. Sid Dolgoy, spoke (and sang) at one of the Impact ser- ies of lectures held at the school last year and scored a big hit with an overflow audi- ence of students. Admission will be $1.25 for adults, 75c for students and I have a feeling tickets will be at a premium, so better gets yours early. at a a: a- Home 8: School Association The executive members of the Thornhill Home and School Association met on October 1 at the home of Mrs. Marianne Duncan.

They would certainly be less stringy than the wild tur- keys roasted by the Pil- grims for their first Thanksgiving dinner in America, and probably smaller. According to an old book on Virginia, “the colonists have wilde tur- kies some weighing sixtie pound weight.” There is no doubt as to the origin of the name tur- key, but in bygone days foreign traders from any < country were cOmmonly called turkey merchants, and, as the bird came from abroad, it became known as a turkey, in England.

Neil of John Street, moved at the end of September to Oakviile and their going will leave a gap difficult if not impossible to fill. For many years both Mr. and Mrs. Neil have ardently [pursued their hobby of collect- ing “Canadiana” and their log home on John Street, where they lived for the past 11 years. was a veritable museum/ of treasured pieces of Canada‘s past. On a visit to Oakville last year. the Neils became charmed with this town’s consciousness of architecture and its deter- mined preservation of fine old homes and trees. Feeling also a need to change the tempo of their lives they decided to set- tle there. The Neils intend to travel widely. Although several truckloads of their antiques went to the Pioneer Village, they have retained a por- tion of them, and I can't help feeling these will be the basis of a new and fin- er collection. During their long-time resi- dence in Thornhill the Neils have made an important conâ€" tribution to the life of the com- munity, We have no doubt they will do the same in their new home and with our “au revoir” goes a warm thank you. Cyrlist Injured Alter Collision Ronald Gardiner, 7, of Morg- an Avenue, Thornhill suffered a fractured leg, bruises and ab‘ rasions when he was struck by a car on Glencameron Avenue last Thursday. Driver Peter Martin, Proct- er Avenue, Thornhill told Markham Police he had noted two bicyclists on a nearby sup- ,ermarket lot and as he moved forward, the Gardiner boy swerved his bike into the path of the car. Police said the Mar- tin car skidded about 35 feet before striking the boy. No charges were laid as a result of the accident. 2I0 MARKHAM ROAD THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ont, Thursday, October 8rd, 1963 17 Cactus Featured At Mexican Tea Now that autumn is hcre.‘hope to sell at reasonable pric- and flowers from the gardcn‘es lovely cactus arrangements, dwindlc. those at supermarkets over which they have spent and florists are often too cx-‘many hours. pcnsivc for :1 weekly display,‘ Tickets, which include after- so the houseplants come into‘noon tea, are 50 cents (or cent- their own. lavosll and can be bought at Emmanuel Church Women'sithe door, or from s\' member Auxiliary, )lackny Drive.
