This dealt with Amos, the great farmer prophet. His name means “burden heaver" and he lived 786 â€"746 BC. lioweveix the picture of the society of his time is strangely like our own.

Rosemary Leek and Jean Clark left Wednesday with a group of young people who are enjoying a long weekend in Quebec on the student ex- change program.

Church News Hi-C members enjoyed a skating party Saturday evening returning to the home of Mr. and Mrs. E. Leek for refresh- ments.

On last Friday the senior basketball team. which he coaches. and which until last Friday night had a perfect season. presented him with an attache case as a token of their esteem and grat- itude for the many. many hours of time and energy spent in coaching the team. At a full school assembly, his team’s players presented him with a large gift wrapped package. Out of the box popped Jim Dysart (that scourge of the basketball court) to present the gift. Basketball season and winter are almost over. With the coming of spring that rare bird. the gymnast. returns to the scene. Gymnastics is one field of endeavor in which I have never really excelled. Co-ordination you know. I really admire the gymnast. He (or she) is a person who practises hours on end to achieve perfection to the highest degree. The gymnast also has to have nerves of steel because butterâ€" flies in the stomach can upset everything at a meet. Several high school gymnasts I have talked to. all claim to have overcome nervous- ness when going before a crowd for any reason. due to their experience with gvmnastics. Langstaff obviously angered at this defeat must have insisted that Thornhill get revenge. Thornhill obliged by pulling the same stunt toppling Richmond Hill 43-25 in the juni01 54-35 in the intermediate and 58-36 in the =eni01 game. If the Richmond Hill Seniors had been able to defeat Thornhill they would have completed a perfect season but those Thornhill nasties would have none of it. That kind of revenge hurts. Mr. “B” [8 Leaving William Babcock. the head phys. ed. teacher at Richmond Hill High “"1” be leaving RHHS after this year to go to the new school at Thornlea. In his years of teaching (and in the few years I have known him') Mr. Babcock has demâ€" onstrated an intangible ability to communicate with the kids in the school, resulting in a closer relationship with those kids, and they in turn have returned a greater measure of respect. The senior team was merely showing their thanks to a wonderful person. but no amount of verbal. written, or physical tribute can even begin to pay back what Mr. Babcock has given to Richmond Hill. Thornlea is a very luckv school having acquired an extremely valuable asset. For months now gymnastics have been going on in the schools but interschool competition won’t begin until basketball and the winter exams have been dead and buried. Gymnastics is a particularly demanding sport. Although your school team is just that. a team, the emphasis is on the individual to a far greater degree. Whereas even on a champâ€" ionship football team there may be a few slackers who don’t pull their load and can be left virtually unnoticed. this cannot happen in gymnastics.

The exemption does not apply to buildings. The exemption from taxation for police protection is covered by provision in the Police Act and does not require renewal. The exemption for fire protec- tion comes under the Assess- ment Act. which provides that the enabling bylaws must be renewed annually.
