To their amazement. these young people learned that since 1943, letters have been sent out by the Anglicans. in- viting other churches to con- verse with them on the subject ‘of a union. They also learned that the ministers of these two Thornhill churches have already put one foot forward for they both married women from an- other church. The young people felt they had also put a foot forward by their meeting and discussion. It was de- cided to form a joint ex- ecutive between the two churches to plan activit- ies together and above all, to plan special church ser- vices together. It was felt that denominational differ- ences should be forgotten and the concentration should be on being THE church of Christ. because If there is a church union, all churches will change to some degree.

Urged Advise Friends Correct Street Address Members of the board stud- ied a proposed new report card for area schools. A committee of teachers had sent in suggest- ions for revision of report cards. The new cards for kindergarten and grades 1 and 2 would have pupil grading by letters with no class averages shown. The grade 3 reports would show the pupils' marks as well as the class averages. although print- ing and reading would show only the pupil's marks. Junior and intermediate report cards would show pupil‘s mark and class average in the basic sub- jects, but other subjects, such as music. art. physical educa- tion. etc. would be graded by letter and no class average would be given. Mr. Sand noted these reports follow the grade 8 promotional sheets.

When the empty houses are filled, they can be expected to produce. using this index, a further 46 pupils.
