I enjoyed your columns. Chip. They were written with enthusiasm and wit. and although I’m no pro, I think you have the makings of a good, if not controversial writer. I hope you won’t: give up the idea of writing entirely. Well, everyone, this is it . . . the swan song of a convalescent. I am finally ready to make my big; break. Shortly after you read this. I shall be free of the chains and shackles of hos- pital life; and it‘s about time! I won’t go into the disappointments and frus- trations of a patient. some of you already know them. But I will say this: when a patient who has served a long sentence is at last released from prison â€"â€" beware! The person might go berserk 'for the first couple of weeks. And clothes! With two inches added to my height. why I need a whole new wardrobe . . . a girl’s favorite dream come true. It's a good thing that my bank account has been grow- ing while I’ve been in here. The drain on it now that I’m out will be similar to the rush on gold the last few weeks. Yes, there are many things which I can hardly wait to do. And mam)r things I won't take for granted anymore. Even sitting in an ordinary armchair is an adventure. Standing and walking, 1 almost g0 delirious with pleasure. But I do want to thank everyone who made my stay in hospital as pleasant as it was. I received some lovely and useful gifts. and my room has always been gay with colorful flowers. . Many people have made the time go quickly with their visits. cards and notes. And Mr. Sam Cook. my bossi has been very patient with me. not once objecting when he received my columns a day past my usual deadline. As for me. the first place I am heading for is home, naturally. I have had the perfect oppor- tunity to learn the meaning of the saying. “You never know how much you miss home until you are away from it.” Also true. “Home is where the heart is.” And, of course, I am eager to be back at school. among my friends. Four months is a long time to be out of the mainstream of life. I know there are people to whom I have neglected to send my personal thanks. I hope they will understand that it was not because I did not appreciate their kindness and generosity. To those people I now say. “Thank you, very much.” The second place I’m heading for is the movie theatre. If you can imagine. I haven’t even seen ‘Bonnie and Clyde.’ And now there is ‘The Grad- uate.’ fVVait Until Dark,’ and numerous other movies worth seeing. Finally, the major portion of my thanks must go to my parents and family. They’ve been just terrific and I find myself in difficulty when I try to think of a way to Show my appreciation for all they have done. All I can say is that I couldn't have done it without them. Next week begins. so to speak. a new chapter in Kaleidoscope. I am reaching the bottom of the barrel as far as my ideas for future columns go; and I would very much appreciate any ideas. which you. my readers. might-have. Please send them to me care of “The Liberal” (63 Yonge Street South). ' I will look forward to receiving your suggestions.

BEVERLEY ACRES Hobby Show “The best so far," seemed to be the consensus of this year‘s Hobby Show, held February 24. It was extremely well attended by the general public. Highlight of the show was the monkey \rope) bridge. made of four 16 foot tree trunks. and extending approximately 35 feet at a height of nine feet. It was the result of a lot of hard work by our Venturers. The Vénturers were also re- sponsible for the first aid and the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Booths, which created much inâ€" terest.

T h e younger child of immigrant par- ents who starts in kindergarten or grade 1, learns to read and to write with the other children of his age group. but the older child is often at a disadvantage in his studies because of lack of facility in English. York South Regional Educa- tional Committee has recogniz- ed the problem and. has discov- ered at least 40 of these chil- dren in its member school systems. Trustee John LeClaire reported to Richmond Hill Sep- arate School Board at its meet- ing on March 19. The regional educational committee has suggested that the local separate school board set up a class for these children. who \\ould come from all boards in the south part of the county “ho wished to particiâ€" pate. Cost of the local board would be only the rate set for each pupil in its system attend- ing the class. This class would come into being in September. if the deâ€" mand justifies its establishment. A substantial grant is avail- able from the Department of Education for the special class. The trustees approved this suggestion in principle. Mr. LeClaife also reported that next school year the re- gional committee intends to set up an in-service audio-visual course for teachers.

However. she does, unavoid- ably. miss a good deal and attributes her good academic showing in spite of this to the splendid coâ€"operation she she has always received from leachers and principal at Croslry Heights as well as at Walter Scott Public School which she previously attend- ed. All have helped her pick up what she has missed. Barbi appears far from dazzled by the many 'glamor' situations in which she finds herself and is not necessarily looking for a career as a model. dancer or dramatist. She plans to enter the five year arts and science pro- gram at Bayview Secondary School next fall and also looks forward to attending university, although she has not yet decided what to study there. “I hope to have my mind made up about that by the time I finish high school,” she said. It's easy to see, h0\\e\‘er. that none of Bal‘bi‘s success would have been possible without the help of her mother, Mrs. William Peirce, a slim. dark-eyed little woman with Barbi's same en- thusiasm and vitality. It‘s mother who makes all the appointments and sees that Barbi gets there on time, equipped with the necessary wardrobe â€" even if this means spending an entire weekend turning out a mod pant suit and a chic poncho. However, mother is quick to add that when she IS pressed this way, Barbi turns to and keeps the housework up to scratch. When Mrs. Peirce and Bar- bi were caught downtown by the recent heavy snowstorm, a telephone call home alert- ed the rest of the family and 16-year-old Gary prepared the dinner while 12-year-old Laurie saw that baby Richâ€" ard, 18 months old, was fed, bathed and put to bed. while nine-year-old John filled in where needed. The other children of the family have also had a fling at Barbi's type of thing. but it hasn't rubbed off on them to the same extent. Gary has done some commercials and modelling but doesn’t really like it. Instead, he has thrown himself into the In fact, it is obvious that it is co-operation from all members of the family which keeps the wheels turning at the Peirce home. 183 Yonge Street Richmond Hill, Ontario 69¢ drama |~luh at. Bayview Ser- onary where he’ is a grade 10 student and this year was responsible for all the props and a lot of the scenery for the highly successful pro- duction of The Pirates of Penzance. «Barbi was asked to do the. makeup for "Pirates" and was then invited to attend the cast party following â€"â€"- whipping herself up a frothy little chiffon float dress to “ear to it.) Sister Laurie. 12 and a grade 7 student at Walter Scott. does some modelling and is also studying drama \iith Rex Sevenoaks but is not interested in dancing. Both Laurie and baby Rich- ard appeared in Eaton’s win- vter catalogue this year â€" as did Barbi. In fact, Richard made his first entry in a photograph- er‘s studio at the age of eight days -â€" not to model how- ever, just because mother had to bring him along to one of Barbi’s appointments. He didn’t actually “'Ol'k at it until he was three months old. “Wasn’t he lazy!” com- ments his mother. Now chubby little Richard is much in demand to model toddlers‘ styles and seems to accept the whole thing with the same cheerful aplomb as does his big sisters. “He just seems to know he should keep still on a set," said, Mrs. Peirce. The result is that Richard is a confident, outgoing child, quite at home with strange adults â€" greeted me with a cheerful “Hi, lady“. Only nine-year-old John has not been bitten by the bug. "He‘s done some mod« elling but he doesn’t like it so we don’t push him,” ad- vised Mrs. Peirce. “He's more interested in Cubs." Of course lot's of co-ope'ra- lion comes from dear old Dad, too. Mr. Peirce owns and operates the Supertest Station at Yonge and Hill- crest in Willowdale and works long hours but is quite tolerant of the comings and goings of his busy family, as well as the varying sched- ulesr "No. I have no household help, just my children." Mrs. Peirce answered my obvious question. “They all co-oper- ate â€"â€" cook, look after the baby. do housework." They say co-operation is what makes the world go round. I just wish there could be as much co-opera- tion in the rest of the world as there is in the Peirce household. It would be a bet ter place to live in. Stop in nr call.
