I report was given by members of the young peoples' who had attended the Thanks- giving conference at Peterbor- ough. Then at 8:30, members of the congregation attended the production of a play, written by Rev. Minton Johnston “The Un- ohlined Book" put on by Thorn- hill people at Thornhill Baptist Church as part of the Bible Society program. The play was well attended. with the Church almost completely full. Various Thornhill people have made interesting trips this fall â€"- i wish some of them would call and let me know about them. Bert Belong of 17 Valloncliff Dr. and W. A.

Mr. DeLong and Mr. Doh- erty attended as representat- ives of the Canadian Good Roads Association and were the only engineers present rep- resenting construction contract- ors.

"Why the giggle?” she quer- ied when I snorted slightly at the information she had been moose hunting. However, those acquainted with the dainty and impeccable Louise will share my reaction at the thought of her toot-slugging it through brush and swamp, well accout- red in hunting togs including thermal underwear! The party‘ was flown in and out of several small lakes and saw several moose from the air but were unable to get a shot at one on the ground. Mrs. Aimone found the count-1 ryside unexpectedly beautiful with the bright gold of the pop- lars contrasting sharply with the dark green coniferous trees. On foot, she was amazed to find the forest loaded with trailing arhutus, which at this time of year is all decked out in new green leaves. Only thing which Louise ad- mitted discommoded her slight- ly was sleeping in a sleeping bag spread on a mattress of pine boughs. But even this didn't really discourage her, or the rest of the party, and they all had a wonderful time. with \perfect warm, dry weather.

Nursery School Parents Meet viv- .â€"-. r one ‘ rhythms and use a different in- - (Mrs. A group of over twenty moth- ers of children attending the ( Thornhill Co-operative Nursery : School spent an interesting ev- . ening on October 21, when they heard Mrs. June Barber, A.R.-] C.T. discuss music and the pre- school child. Mrs. Barber has' recently retired as supervisor‘ of music for North York Schools. Rather than give a formal address, Mrs. Barber engaged her attentive audience in a free discussion of the question. She was of the opinion that every child has musical ability of some kind. One of the best ways to bring it out, she felt, was to have music in the home. Some of the suggestions she made were: play records of ALL kinds to your children; sing to them; when telling stories use as much inflection as possible and try to get them to do this also; (Mrs. Barber gave some amusing examples of this technique); beat out the rhythm of familiar nursery rhymes and try to have them guess which it is; use repetitive flection for each repetition. Barber used the song- story “There was an old woman who swallowed a fly” to illust- rate this and had all the moth- ers taking part). It was also suggested that young childreh be ex- posed to poetry. not only poetry that they like but poetry you like yourself. just as it is a good thing to expose them to music you like yourself too. Use expressive words when talking to your child. such as “splash”. “b p l i s h’. "swish", Mrs. Barber also recommended. Another amusing game she taught the parents, and one .which will develop a sense of rhythm in children is to clap hands to the rhythm of various names. Here Mrs. Barber got the members of her audience to clapping out the beat of their own names and very - quickly had a rhythm band un- der way. Mrs. Barber noted that teach! ers usually do not accept child- ren for formal music lessons before the age of six. When purchasing a musical instru- ment, she recommended that you purchasethe very best one you can afford, or rent one. Let the child become acquaint- ed with instruments of all kinds and let him try them himself until he wants to learn. The “Orff” approach to teaching‘ music to children was highly? recommended by Mrs. Barber. In this method there are a variety of instruments and the‘ child tries them all. Mrs. Barber suggested 1 several books the parents might get on this fascinat- ing subject. among them “Let’s Enjoy Poetry", "There’s Music in Child- ren”, "The Magic Years” and “What to Listen For in Music”. This most enjoyable meeting was held at the home of Mrs. B. H. Carruthers, 22 Uplands Avenue with the new president of the parent’s association, Mrs. Pam Brown. in charge. Several outings for the children were discussed and it was decided that the first one would be a trip to the Master Feeds farm on Highway 7. Badminton Anyone? The Thornhill Badminton Club has begun it's fall activit- ies and meets each Thursday evening at Thornhill Secondary School between 8 and 10:30 pm. There are four courts operat- ing each evening and there is room for a few new members. Anyone interested could call Miss Stowe at AV. 5-2219 for further information.

Prime Minister Lester Pearson named James Walker, Member of Parliament for York Centre, official whip of the Lib- eral party. Mr. Walker is a former North York Township councillor, and was first elected to parliament in 1962. In May of this year he was named assistant to Alexis Caron, M. P. for Hull, Quebec, who was then the Liberal whip. The function of a whip is comparable to that of a truant officer. It is his job to see that members are in their places when a vote is called.

Speaker for the evening was Mr. Reg Corlett. He has spent many years learning the art of photographing birds and flow- ers and gave the audience the benefit of his experience, illus- trating his talk with beautiful coloured slides. He stated that a reflex type of camera was essen- tial for this type of work and recommended both a short and Of Horticultural Show a long tripod for long and ground shots. Mr. Corlett has specialized in photographing Ontario wild flowers in their natural habitat and for this work. recommended a pair of over-the-knee rubber boots or a rubber ground sheet. as many ‘of them grow in damp spots. Ml“ Corlett also gave a few pointers on photographing flow: ers indoors. He recommended the use of both a photoflood light and also a back light for accent. or side lighting. He illustrated this to perfection with a specimen rose from the show and it was readily appar- ent how the spotlight on the back of a flower highlighted the edge of the petals and gave lthem almost a transparent look. The background of either an indoor or, an outdoor shot is extremely important, Mr. Cor- iett emphasized. Paper of a complimentary colour can be used for this, he said, but cau- tioned that it must be far enough away that no shadows fall on it. In taking shots of flowers outdoors, he felt it was better to use a natural back- ground. This can be darkened ‘by casting a shadow on it or by making it out of focus. In photographing birds, Mr.‘ Corlett recommended doing this at a feeding station, or at a nest. It is possible to set up a camera at a feeding station and run an air release into the house through the door or win- dow and take the picture from inside. An electronic flash is best as it is just about the only Mr. Walker stated, he is look- ing forward to the challenge of the job. He said that for some‘ time he has been concerned ab- out the status of private memb- ers and the need for them to be permitted to become more involved in introducing legis- lation. He feels that as whip of the Liberal party, he will be able to contribute to raising the status of individual memb; from parliament up to date on what has happened during his absence.

At a nest site. it is necessary to set up a blind. Some birds are very cautious and will not come back to the nest for several hours if disturbed. although they may come back sooner if there are young in the nest. Mr. Corlett noted how diffi- cult it was to get just the right shot of a bird and said often out of 20 or 30 shots. he would get only one which was satis- factory. Pictures of Ontario wild flow-‘ ers were extremely beautiful. One shot was of the yellow ladies‘ slipper which grows abundantly in the Wasaga Beach area. Another showed a large group of the cardinal flower taken in the Georgian Bay area. There was also a close-up shot of one of these beautiful scarlet flowers. Sev- eral pictures were of Ontario orchids. One in particular. the calypso orchid is considered very rare. but Mr. Corlett said that if you know where to go you can see them in thousands. Other beautiful slides were of the showy ladies‘ slipper, both indoor and outdoor shots, the pink moocasin flower. jack-in- the pulpit, double hepatica and marsh marigolds. Mr. Corlett‘s shots of Ontario birds brought gasps of admira- tion. He had shots of both the male and female cardinal, the Chickadee, one of a small spar- row hawk approaching the nest. taken at a five-thousandth of a second, the goldfinch, a kil- deer and young, the Baltimore oriole, rose-breasted grosbeak. ‘an angry great horned owl. two screech owls, a cardinal in flight, a cedar waxwlng, scar- lett tanager, ruby throated hum- mingbird, and many others. Mr. Corlett was sincerely thanked for his fascinating ex- hibition by the president of the society, Mrs. M. Harris. While the slide projector was still in position, Mr. Alan Sumner had the projectionist show some col- our shots he had taken at the last meeting of the society and these were much enjoyed. The audience then dispersed to see the results of the judging of the show, which had been done by Mrs. Majorie Dolan. Prize specimen of the whole Show was an unbelievably beau- tiful “Peace” rose, exhibited by Mrs. Betty Hansen. This bloom was fully six inches across and in perfect condition. While the show had not included a sepa- rate classification for this va- riety. this entry so outshone ‘the other hybrid tea roses. also 1of excellent quality, that the judge made a separate classifi- cation. Mrs. Hansen's was given first prize in this class, and the Mannings received second. In class 1, hybrid tea roses, first prize went to the Kings, second to Mrs. Bridges and third to J. Hayes. Prizewinners in class 2, a Grandiflora rose. were Mrs. Harris, J. Hayes and Mrs. Riley. For a spray of flori- bunda roses, prizes went to Mrs. Riley, Mrs. Harris and Mr. Wil- liamson.
