In October 1960 she start- ed- vocal lessens along with Inother young quadranlegie (Kevin Maher) and two years later was joined by a third (Douglas Knight). The three handicapped young people formed a singing group cal- led the "Villatones" and have travelled many miles to var- ious muscular dystrophy chapters in Ontario to en- tertain and to stimulate in- terest in the MD cause. They have been an inspira- tion to all those who have heard them sing. erg. curbs and pavements in‘ihe Beverley A c r e s Subdivision cqgld not be considered a mat- te; of urgency. and furthermore I}? had received no comnlaints Now Beverley is develop- lng another skill which should also prove inspira- 1 wish to direct my comments mainly to our association mem- be'rs, the residents of Ward 1, and finally to all residents of Ribhmond Hill. as the problem ._,. tut ulrecuy affected or not. t the September 28th. 1964 council meeting I was com- plgtely amazed to hear our mayor state that the storm sew- erg. curbs and pavements in the . .

These remarks by Mayor Broadhurst were prompted by the request of Ward 1 Coun- cillor Walter Scudds, to have expended $50,000 for the draw- ing up of final plans for the in- stallation of sewers. etc. in Bevâ€" erley Acresâ€"these plans by the way would not have been ready until the middle of 1965. Thereâ€" fore, this means that as it’s our mayor‘s intention to completely ignore this very urgent prob- lem until at least another year, then it automatically follows that the plans would not be ready until 1966. which means further. that any possibility of work being done, or started before 1967 would be incon- fdiMI' ceivable. Obviously. this sit- uation will follow the pattern set by Bayview Avenue. I would suggest that the mayor. and town council make it their business to conduct a tour through Beverley Acres. in particular Neal Drive be- tween North Taylor Mills Drive and South Taylor Mills Drive. pausing long enough outside Beverley Acres Public School to absorb the disgusting condi- tions of the ditches at the en- trance which. when dry. are sickening but when flooded are a filthy disgrace. apart from be- ing a health hazard to our (Continued On Page 5) Approaching the half way mark of the 1960’s there is need for the spirit of Thanksgiving. Not so much for which we can be thankful. Even in the midst of this rapidly changing decade, we are as- sured of final security in the “timeless Lord, the Son of the Living God. He said, “In the world you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer, I have over- come the world.” . . . John 16:33. “In Thine arms I rest me; Foes who would molest me Cannot reach me here. Though the earth be shaking Every heart be quaking, Jesus calms my fear. Lightnings flash and thunders crash; Yet, though sin and hell assail me, Jesus will not fail me.” If you are wondering for what to be thankful as you read this â€"-â€" stop now and say “thank you” for this friend Who will never leave. you, Jesus Christ. the Son of God. athletes are not represen~ tatives of different, often opposed, countries.

Oct. 8, 1964 He went on to explain that with information lacking, public debate ‘Was inhibited, elected councils tended to become slack and inefficient and apathy was produced. The frequent ‘result, he said, was the persistence in oflice of incompetent elected offi- cials who would not be tolerated by the public if the extent of their in- competence were to become known. A chartered accountant, the speak- er said far too many municipal meetings are being held behind closed doors throughout the" province. As a result, the public was often ill- informed about matters of legitimate public concern, he contended. Mr. Campbell told a press confe- rence that he believed meetings of all such bodies should be open to the press on the understanding that matters detrimental to the public interest would be withheld from publication. Secret meetings of elected munici- pal bodies foster civic inefficiency and breed public distrust, Mayor Angus A. Campbell, who recently retired after serving as president of the Association of Ontario Mayors and Reeves, has stated. Sewing, dressmaking and millin- ery classes are always popular and with English and Citizenship for New Canadians, oil and water color paint- ing have been included for several years in the curriculum of the night schools. Those who wish to improve their academic standing have been offel ed grade 10,11,12 and 13 subjects. Skills may be acquired or improved in courses in commercial and tech- ‘nical courses. Something for everyone is offered and the group of young adults who are usually overlooked in recreational programs are receiving special atten- tion in a course called “Social Educa- tion for Young Adults". If this course is well‘ patronized it could mean that this section of our popula- tion will learn how to solve their problem of lack of recreational facil- ities which has plagued the commun- ity for many years. The most comprehensive adult ed- ucation'program ever offered in this area got underway Tuesday night of this week in Bayview and Thornhill Secondary Schools. It is on a par with anything offered in the big cities.

In her pretty, pink bed- room, under the frilly. pink and white bed. there lived a pair of shaggy white bed- room slippers. Once there was a little girl whose name was Pen- ny. Every night at 12 o'clock the shoes and slippers would talk. That was the only time they could talk out loud. Because then they were sure that Pen- ny was asleep. All other times they only whispered. It was a good thing that Penny never heard what the oxfords had to say about her. All they did was complain about how badly they Were treated. , ~‘rv¢§â€"u The patent leather shoes Were always teasing or picking on the shaggy lit- tle slippers.

The press is always willing to co- operate with such bodies in keeping matters detrimental to the public interest out of publication. The honest, hard-working, munici- pal elected official has nothing to fear from an enlightened electorate â€" in fact the more facts the public is given about municipal procedures, the less likelihood there is that false rumors can gain credence by even a portion of the population and the better the chances of re-election for a conscientious, competent member of_a municipal council. “The Liberal” has editorialized before on this subject and agrees Whole-heartedly with Mr. Campbell’s stand. We do not agree that secret meetings necessarily lead to corrupt and inefl‘icient elected officials, but danger of this happening is inherent in the common practice of holding secret sessions. Mr. Campbell deplored the low calibre of a great many of the elect- ed oflicials at the municipal level in Ontario and‘called upon more men of proved business skills to get into municipal politics. we are told registrations will be accepted Thursday evening at the beginning of the regular classes. That the best instructors are being secured was evident last week when the names of those who will be con- ducting the courses in bridge and model-making were announced. The great amount of thoughtful preparation given this program is quite evident. A few openings are still available in some classes and In fact, those in charge of the courses have told “The Liberal” that if there is a subject in which you are interested which has any educational value. and if a group of at least .15 register, all efforts will be made to get_the best instructors possible.

Not waiting for an answer. he said “I'd like to go over there and kick them right in those pretty, point- ed toes of theirs. Maybe even give them a few scuff marks, too. Then we'd see if they‘re so smart!" he said angrily. “Don‘t let them know they’ve hurt us. That's just what they'd like to know.

One thing was for sure . they were very snobbish. They Wouldn‘t talk to any of the shoes at first. Jesus Christ in his ministry met this lack of thankfulness. After healing ten lepers on one oc- casion, one of them returned to thank Jesus. Ac- cepting the man’s gratitude, Jesus said, “Were there not ten cleansed, where are the nine?” This past summer the Stratford stage has car- ried in a regular cycle, William Shakespeare’s tragedy King Lear. In scene IV of the first act, Lear says to the Duke of Albany, ”. . . that she may feel How sharper than a serpent’s tooth it is To have a thankless child!” You are never so hurt as when you believe someone is ungrateful for a kindness you have done. Ingratitude is a ruthless killer. It knows no mercy. It is~un1imited in its scope as it moves among rich and poor, amateur and professional, tradesman and manager, home and orphanage, church and state â€"it strikes everyone, everywhere. What is the true function of the church today? “The church is in the world for the healing of the nations,” said Mr. Evans. “The needs of the human heart do not change. They are always the same.” “This is the only place in the world where Can- ada can ieally be of help,” said Mr. Evans. “They need technical, educational and missionary support. And Canada is the only country in the world to have a commissioner there ” Besides being the full time minister of Thornhill Presbyterian Church, Mr. Evans is chairman for the General Board of Missions for the Presbyterian Church. He is a member of the Missions Committee of the Presbytery and a member of the Christian Education Committee. He is also a representative to the Canadian Council of Churches. Dillwyn Evans, a graduate of the University of Toronto, the University of Alberta and Knox College, Toronto, is a great believer in athletics and during hockey season is up to his ears in the Thornhill Church HockeyLeague. His dress- ing room drills are popular. On each sheet issued, the padre stresses the need for prayer, the need for instruction from the Bible on the various phases of living. One drill will suggest the need for a balanced diet, another will suggest self-control. still another on watching y0ur language; others on team spirit and enthusiasm. Combining sports with practical living instruction and prayer helps to make hockey the clean wholesome sport it should be as well as being a real adventure for boys. He recently returned from a visit to British Guiana While he was there, Guiana was declared to be in a state of emergency. It is a great pleasure to introduce Rev. Dill- wyn Evans in this column and to bring yOu his Thanksgiving message. Mr. Evans. a native of Cwmavon, Wales, came to Canada in 1926. He has had his present charge, the Thornhill Presbyterian Church for four years. Mr. and Mrs. Evans and three daughters live at 7 Raymond Drive, Thornhill. Rhonda is in her third year of nursing at the Toronto General Hospital and Judy is in her first year of nursing at the Sick Childr’ens Hosp ital. Glenda is in grade 10 at Thornhill Secondarv School. “Canada Can Help British Guiana” . . . Rev. Dillwyn T. Evans Rambling Around THANKSGIVING By Rev. Dillwyn T. Evans Every night when Penny was practising ‘her dancing. the shaggy little slippers watched very carefully. to see what the ballerina slip- pers did to make Penny dance. They had a plan. Boy. would everyone be surprised! Every night for two weeks. they were going to watch the slippers dance. then they would know just what to do. They were going to show “What's a stage?" the shaggy little slippers asked. "A stage is a place where people do things. like dance or act and things like that. Other people sit down in front of them and watch what they do," the ballerina Slippers said in a voice that sounded bored with the whole conversation. They had never known such ignorant shoes or slippers in all their lives. "We make her look very pretty. We stand her up on her toes. twirl around and move gracefully all over the stage." "We help Penny dance." they explained proudly. "Dance?" they all asked at once.” "What‘s dance?” plain what they were. "What do you do?“ by Elizabeth Kelson “What went wrong?" left slipper exclaimed. Penny hadn't expected that! She took them off to look at the bottom of them to see what she had slipped on. There was nothing there. So she searched around on the floor to see if she had tripped on anything. But it was just the same. There was nothing there. She put the shaggy little slippers back in their place “Oh. what a day! We were running all afternoon. There was a race. We didn‘t even win after all that running. All because Penny forgot to tie our laces tight." the ox- fords complained as Penny put them in the closet. "Now!" said right slipper. Up, they went on their toes. WHOOPS! Down came Penny with a CRASH! Penny slipped the shaggy little slippers on. "Now!” said right slipper. “Don‘t forget what you're supposed to do!" right slip- per whispered excitedly. "Here come oxfords,” left slipper whispered to right slipper.
