10 THE LIBERAL}, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday, Jan. 2nd, 1964 Thornhill W. l. The annual Christmas lunch- eon of the Thornhill Branch of the W. I. was held at the Summit View Restaurant, Rich- mond Hill, on December 16. The president, Mrs. C. Sin- clair, welcomed the members and guests. The motto for the day was “Take Time To Give, It Is Too Short A Day To Be Selfish". It was announced that an institute spoon with the insti~ tute’s crest had been given to Mrs. Doris Fitzgerald for her work in preparing an institute broadcast. The program for which she provided the mate- rial was called "Steeped in the History of Thornhill". Owing to Mrs. Fitzgerald’s illness at the time, Marguerite Boyle made the broadcast for her and I plant was sent to Miss Boyle. Mrs. Emprlngham responded‘ with a poem “Remember the‘ Old Days" and Mrs. Mizen also read a poem, “If I could do What 'ere I Would to Do". The roll call was answered by each member contributing a gift for cancer patients.

Anyone wishing a picture is asked to call Mrs. Thompson at 285-2973. After the business portion of the meeting, Mrs. Thompson read a paper on Christmas and Mr. Mizen involved the ladies in several games and contests. Carol singing was also enjoyed. The meeting closed with the Queen, and everyone went home feeling they had enjoyed ‘a pleasant afternoon. Miss Laurie Dawson of Long- bridge Road called me last week to say that she was having as her house guest during the holiday season, Miss Jan New, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John New, formerly of Thornhill and now resident of Chatham. I'm sorry this was too late for last week’s paper, but if any of Jan's old Thorn- hill friends would like to call her at Laurie‘s, I think she should still be there by the time you read this.

And it seems to me I warned all you good people, that if you didn’t phone in some news to me, there just wouldn‘t be any. So you see, you are short- changing all of us this week. There seemed no-one home at all the numbers I called, so suspect many of our neigh- bours are of? enjoying the skiing, which must be some- what phenomenal, judging by all the snow I see around here. No doubt, too, some have skipped away down south for their holiday in a more balmy clime (cowards, aren’t they?); so I expect to hear about all their doings when they get back. ' Clerk H. C. T. Crisp reported that he had received a request from the Victorian Order of Nurses to pay the remainder of the money set aside in the bud- get for that purpose. An amount of $5,000 had been budgeted; for the V.O.N. and $2,500 had, been paid earlier in the year. It was his understanding that the council’s intention was that the cost of providing V.O.N. care for the township up to‘ $5.000 be paid. so he had asked for a statement of such expen- ses. This had not been received as yet, so the matter was left over for the 1964 council. Before leaving you this week, though, I would like to tell you about my no- mination for a prize for the most sensitive and kindly gesture of the year; it should surely go to the Italian labourer who was working in a Thornhill home a few days before Christmas. Noticing the young wife going frequent- ly to look out the window as dusk fell, he asked, as he was ready to leave after a long day’s work, “You scared? If you scared, I stay outside in my truck till your man come home." And may I wish you all “une joyeuse et bonne annee”, which, on being translated, means I wish you nothing but the best in the year ahead. Cheers! Markham Twp. Will Purchase John St. Land Markham Township Council Friday morning decided to pur- chase the westerly 45 feet ap- proximately of the J. E. Willis property on John Street for the sum of $4,000. This purchase will provide for extension of Doncaster Avenue, for a sanitary sewer easement and a walkway. and will be financed out of lot sev- erance fees in that area. Deputy-reeve Alan Sumner reported that about 25 proper- ties would be directly affected, and the expenditure would re- quire the severance fees of only eight lots.
