It is to encourage Don- caster students to continue their education as far as pos- sible. The majority of students who have been aided in the past are doing very well in higher education or in the field of work which they have chosen. Mrs. A. Morrison introduced the speaker, R. A. Winstall, head of the guidance depart- ment of the new ungraded Thornlea secondary school. His subject was "The New Philo- sophy of Education”. Its central them was “Love” â€"â€" love for the individual and his own uni- queness and hence for all man- kind in its diverse qualities and characteristics.

Mrs. MacDonald had just recently got finished wel- coming her son, Russ, home from a two-year stay in Uganda, East Africa, where he had been working for the Canadian University Services Overseas organi- zation. “I was playing my first game of golf with Russ since his return.. We went out to the Unionville Fair- ways where I've been golf- ing for the past two or three years.” ‘ Everything was pretty uneventful up to the 120- yard 14th hole. "It's a very narrow fair- way," Mrs. MacDonald said, “and I was surprised when my four-iron drive went straight down without curv- THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Thursday, Oct. 10, 1968 Socially Speaking Thornhi-Il and District News Mrs. Erna Macdonald PHONE 889-3190 staff of Medical Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Swan- son.

They immediately boarded a bus for Glasgow and spent their first night there before taking a train to Manchester. After a short visit with friends in Manchester, the travellers journeyed to Llandudno, Wales, and spent three days visiting Mike’s grandparents. Bob was particularly impressed with his visit to Wales where the Welsh countryside is exceptionally beautiful. Next stop of the holiday was in Birmingham to visit relatives and a side trip to Stratford was a highlight when the boys at- tended a performance of “As You Like It". Bob and Mike then travelled to Plymouth where they Were‘ shown around by the knight registrar and Tom Moore of‘ Quad Tours. Mr. Moore, broth-‘ er of Dennis Moore, Campbell Avenue, Thornhill, is a knight principal of the Order of the Round Table of King Arthur’s :Court of Camelot (the seat of King Arthur’s Court in the Ar- thurian legend situated at Tin- tagel, Carnwall). He was in To- ronto recently to promote Quad Tours in Canada. When visit- ing Thornhill, Tom Moore met and invited Bob and Mike to visit Plymouth and be knighted at the King Arthur ceremony. Bob and Mike were given a tour of Tintagel where they saw the castle with its round table made of Cornwall granite set with 13 places representing the last supper. The two Thornhill visitors were made knights at an impressive ceremony. They were knighted as two knights {on a pilgrimage from a foreign | Smith Shoes Fashion Show I If vou were asked to name alanpearance the mood will be If you were asked to name a world famous fashion centre for procuring the latest thing for madam’s shoe wardrobe, you might say. Paris, London, New York, or perhaps rather vaguely â€"â€" somewhere in Italy. It is rather doubtful you would even ‘mention Montreal or Toronto, but according to Mr. Moore, Smith Shoes Fashion Consult- ant, this is all wrong. Smith‘ Shoes fashionable store is 10-, cated in the Towne and Coun- trye Square, Willowdale. “Toronto”, says Tom Moore, “is the focal point for footwear fashion in North America. Paris and London may well be famous for the best dressed few, but let us remember few they are! If you want to see the best dres- sed many, well then, what bet- ter place than America? And by America I am not referring to that trumpet blowing 200 million that occupy the major part of the lower half of this continent. I am in fact refer- ring to the modest group of two million Canadian that live in and around Metropolitan To- ronto." These are some of the opin- ions held by Mr. Moore, and he will be expressing them to an intimate group of people during Smith Shoes Fashion Show around mid-October. If you feel it is rather late in the year' to be having a showing of fall fashions, you are quite right â€" it is. and that is what makes this showing more interesting!

They Wouldn’t have been at all surprised to see pirates and smugglers roaming the streets. The boys were very impres~ sed with Plymouth. This is now a completely new and modern city where slums are non-exist- ent. The rebuilding of this city was extensive after the last war due to the heavy damage done by air raids and it has emerged as a very impressive city. The travellers spent three days in Truro with a cousin be- fore parting company for an- other three days. Mike went to Portsmouth and Bob visited a great-aunt in Hereford where he did most of his shopping. He was very pleased with the reas- onable price tags on clothing and stated that prices were one half to two thirds cheaper than in Canada. The latter part of the Visit was spent in the London area where they commuted from ‘Southend. Here they en- ;joyed the excitement of the ‘great city with a visit to Soho and a performance of “Mouse Trap”, the 16 year run play. The pair boarded the mid- night train to Glasgow and tax- ied to the airport. They had planned on travelling by bus but found it didn’t arrive until one minute to fliéht time. As it turned out their taxi developed brake problems and it was ne- cessary to creep to the airport ‘using the hand brake. After this rather exasperating experi- ence, Bob and Mike learned on arrival that there would be an hour's delay in departure! appearance the mood will bé spring or to put it more accur- ately, next season’s fall shoes. Mr. Moore and Mr. Smith have just returned from Mont- real and have seen the manu- facturer’s exhibits of next year’s shoes. Most buyers, after see- ing the world picture for next year, (none of these styles will ‘be available until next year, for shoes are a long time in the making), get very excited, do their buying and then calmly re- turn to their respective stores to quietly push the lasts that have been dropped from next year’s picture, practically shelvâ€" ing those that due to good luck or good buying will still fit into that picture. This will not be the case at Smith Shoes, and that is the reason for the late showing! Messrs. Moore and Smith be- lieve the public deserve the same opportunity to view next year‘s fashions; therefore, the fashions shown will only be those that do fit into next year’s jstyling. In‘ Mr. Moore’s commentary during the showing he will tell their guests what the trend will be for next year and exactly what styles they have bought while in Montreal. If you would like to receive an invita- tion to one of the four showings, drop into Smith Shoes the next time you are in the Towne and Countrye Square Shopping Plaza and add your name to the guest list, Coffee will be serv- ed, and a free pair of shoes given away at each showing.
