Addressing the council (the supreme court of the church), on the fourth day of its twenty-first meeting in St. John's. Newfoundland, Rev. Peter Gordon White, editor-in-chief of Sunday school publications, gained overwhelming endorsement for the new curriculum, and applause for his presenta- tion of a case history which, he frankly admitted, had dis- turbed some church mem- hers. Letters to the editors of daily and weekly newspapers about the United Church‘s new curriculum were. for the most part. from people “who read their newspaper relig- iously and their Bible inter- mittently", the G e n e r a 1 Council of the church was told recently. “From within (the Church) the new curriculum has been a quiet, complex and long range project," Dr. White told commissioners from ac- ross Canada. “It arose in the postâ€"war years. Those years saw the church mem- bership explosion on this continent, a theological ren- aissance among Christian scholars, a new understand- ing of church in the younger thurches of Africa and Asia. Two years ago and with great fanfare our Member of Parliament for this riding was supposedly spearheading a drive to institute commuter trains. We're still waiting.

School systems attempting to expand their services in this area are also hampered by the lack of tech- niques for reaching these children. Efforts to develop better and earl- ier means of identifying disturbed children in the classroom in New York State have disclosed that such children exist in greater number than had been suspected. Some estimates range as high as 10 per cent of all school children. Educational institutions in that state have joined in an eff01t to fill both needs through a program to train personnel and develop profes- Our present one-year term for town council is working well and there certainly has been no great demand from the electors for the introduction Unfortunately to-day there are a great many politicians who are more than anxious to keep as far away from the people as possible. These are the very same politicians who are always seeking ways and means to increase the legal limits of their terms of office and thus delay the need to seek a new mandate from the people. Now that the same issue has again been placed before the electorate four years later, a decision will once more have to be made as to whether or not to continue the present one-year term of council or double it to two years. On a motion moved by Reeve James Haggart and seconded by Councillor Lois Hancey, Richmond Hill Town Council earlier this year de- cided to place again the question of a two-year term on the December ballot. Mayor Thomas Broadhurst (then a councillor) sponsored the same question in 1959. At that time the voters decisively turned down the two-year term by 1,978 votes oppos- ed to 633 in favor.

Con- cern for a more adequate programme of Christian teaching was expressed by church members and finally given form by the fifteenth General Council in 1952, Dr. White said in reviewing the history of the new curricu- lum. “At each significant point." he said. “General Council directed basic policy (and) the Council of 1962 launched the new cur- riculum with this declara- tion: The proclamation of the Gospel is the primary work of the church, and the new curriculum is a plan for increasing the effectiveness of the church's fundamental task." In answer to those critics (not United Church memâ€" bers) who claimed the new curriculum had suddenly been foisted upon them, Dr. White called the roll of an army of contributors who have been working for the past twelve years. “Teach- ers, pastors, biblical schol- ars. theologians and artists were enlisted.

Although his clothes were bought in the boys‘ de- partment I was stunned to learn that size 16 is not exempt from sales tax. Does the retail sales tax authority consider a boy of 15 (and there are some boys of 12 who wear size 16) now an adult? Or would these tax experts like to encourage a race of small men? Perhaps they are all pygmies and that is their way of cutting the rest down to their size! Thornhill MRS. JO CRUISE \4ID Legion membership is con‘ tinuing to expand, and again this month we have a further 35 new members to be initiated at our next general meeting. It is interesting to note that both Brampton and Newmarket Sponsor legion hockey teams in the same midget class, a fact which should foster some keen competition this winter. The President of the Richmond Hill Minor Hockey Association, Earl Methe attended the re- cent exec‘utive meeting to ask our branch to support a team. Mr. Methe explained that most minor teams are sponsorâ€" ed on a continuing basis, but in some cases a sponsor had to be found each year. A motion to approve legion sponsorship was carried unanimously. The team will be in the mid- get class. made up from boys in the 14 and 15 age group. They will wear gold and blue sweaters bearing the name and branch number. Mr. Methe also reported all minor hockey in the Midland area is sponsored by the Royal Canadian Legion. Comrade Ernie Benton was appointed poppy chairman at the executive meeting held Oc- tober 15. He has a busy time ahead and we feel certain he would appreciate any offers of assistance. With memorial day ceremon- ies planned for November 8 we expect to see the finest turn- out and parade Richmond Hill has ever seen. Dominion Com- imand has proclaimed the per- iod November 5 to 11 as Re- membrance week and the im- portance of the occasion should be respected bytall of our mem- bers, for it is at this time that the main purpose of the Royal Canadian Legion is realized. With this in mind we hope that all of you will make a spe-f cial effort to convey the Leg: ions message by encouraging and furthering the sale of the poppy and by making yourj presence felt at the memorial day parade.

We wouldn’t like to say that Canada is responsible for what happened in Russia; but we couldn’t help but notice that Nikita’s surprise resignation came just a day or so after External Affairs Minister Paul Martin announced that he had a secret plan to settle the financial deadlock over Russia’s $52,- 000,000 delinquency in dues to the United Nations. Maybe the secret plan was to have the amount charged to Khrushchev for desk repairs and show him how to make a Banks withdrawal. Last week was quite a week.

What makes a baking champion? Connie ex- plains that Mrs. Rybka always allowed her small children to help out when she was baking. Then as they got older they were given a tested recipe and were on their own, receiving help only if there were difficulties. “By the time each of us girls were 10 years old we were capable of baking even when Mom was out,” said Connie. The Five Roses “Bakeoff” was her very first competition and the National Bake off was her second one. What is autumn that it should turn a thought into a song?

Rlcbmm Stand at any city street cor-i ner and watch the women as‘ they pass. How tired they look!j How their dresses flap around them! Contrast them with men. Men's feet lift no weight of clothes. Men's steps contend with nothing. Every muscle has its natural exercise. Outdoor air and exercise are good for them. The advice women need is for shorter, lighter and looser dresses. Fldsbbdck The corset does not allow space to take a full breath and the tight sleeves cause the muscles to cry for room. Dressed in this fashion the wearer conies back from her walk for “fresh air and exer- cise" tired through and through and is the worse for it because she has lifted and carried hun- dreds of pounds. The advice to women to pro- mote their health by outdoor exercise is never wanting. But no amount of fresh air exercise can save women from evil efâ€" fects of their present style of dress. It is their clothes that kill them. Every step a woman takes her foot contends with her skirts. She lifts it on the in- step and she lifts it on the heel. The weight may be ounces or pounds. but it is taken up at every step. The heavy skirts, with flounces, overskirt and other trimmings, hang their many pounds, flap- ping, around the feet and legs of the wearer. Mrs. Jenness Miller has not come a day too soon with her better costumes, if the health of women is to be improved. Mrs.‘ Celia Whitehead has shown‘ “what’s the matter".
