Mr. Plaxton also pointed out that the population of the region is about 160,000 and of North York about 450,000. The federal government has taken another step along planned elimina- tion of the word “Dominion” as a further concession of Quebec and the republican, anti-Commonwealth ele- ment in French-Canadian society. The Trudeau Liberals in their head- long drive to curry favor with Que- bec and destroy the historical con- nection of Canada with Great Britain are quietly but effectively giving this country more and more the appear- ance of a republic. Therefore. it is to the credit of the Board of Governors of Seneca College that they have decided to locate the second facility in the region, rather than the borough. _We understand When Seneca College was estab- lished a few years ago, it was to serve the Borough of North York and the then York County. It became an “instant” college when it located temporarily (while buildings were being erected on a permanent campus at Finch and Woodbine Avenues) in a vacant factory building at Shep- pard Avenue East and Yonge Street, which is still in use. If you were to walk into a kitchen in North York on a hot summer evening and saw 19 people clustered around an open fire you would be. inclined to call the nearest mental hospital and arrange mass transportation of the group to a cooler. safer place. Ottawa has announced that effecâ€" tive Tuesday the official name of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics since its establishment as an arm of the federal administration will be changed to simply “Statistics Can- Iada". The word “Dominion” has thus been effectively erased from But that would be a mis- take. Seventeen members of the group have laid out 20 good Canadians dollars for the privilege of being there, and the other two are aiding and abetting. ‘ When Seneca College in Willowdale made plans for a course in pioneer cooking to be held in the Gibson House Museum behind Willowdale Post Office on Yonge Street. it planned for a class of ten. The response was so great. however, shat seven ‘more were squeezed in. They meet each Monday in the large kitchen, and receive instruc- tion from Mrs. Dorothy Dun- can. who is responsible for management of the house. and Mrs. Dorothy Reid of the Toronto Historical Board who Murray Dryden, father of Goalie Ken Dryden of the Montreal Canad- iens has developed a hobby into a means of helping homeless children in Indonesia. and India. For many years he took pictures of his own children asleep in bed and continued this hobby whenever possible. Three years ago in India. he saw thousands of children. aged one to seven, sleeping in the streets. Although he knew a number of agenâ€" cies provide food for the children he decided to undertake the task of providing comfortable sleeping ac- commodation. Working through orphanages in the two countries, which often have no more than a dry place to sleep to offer to a child, he has undertaken to raise money to buy slumber kits â€" a mattress, a pillow, two pillow covers. two pairs of sheets, a mosâ€" quito net, two blankets, a bed cover and two pairs of pyjamas.

COLLECTOR OF COOKING Reasons for taking the six- week Gibson House course which began June 28. are as different as the people par The board of governors’ secondary site is located at Bond Lake, within the boundaries of the new Town of Richmond Hill, where the land prices are considerably more per acre than at the Eaton Hall site in King Town- ship. Nor does this site have any buildings which could be put to immediate use. These two factors were deciding issues in the choice of site, we are given to understand. that a great deal of this credit must go to Mr. Plaxton and Chairman Norn Garriock, who is a resident of the Town of Vaughan and a former reeve of Woodbridge. Mr. Garriock has been most active in negotiating for the purchase of the Eaton Hall site, the board of governor’s first choice. The 70-room mansion and other buildings there would make it possible for an “instant” college to be in operation this year._ The choice of site is the peroga- tive of the college's board of goverâ€" nors, approved by the board of regents and by the Minister of Education, and we are not prepared to challenge their decision. We wish, however, to compliment the board of governors on its decision to provide a college in the Region of York as the first step in an expansion pro- gram. another aspect of our national life. This follows repeated attempts to change the'name of our national birthday â€" “Dominion Day”.

The Prime Min- ister must think the people of this country are a gulliblex group who are quite willing to swallow any kind of propaganda the Ottawa Liberals wish to grind out.

All money raised through their sale will go toward purchase of slumber kits. Although Mr. Dryden realizes that his project “is a drop in the bucket” he is demonstrating what one person, if he (or she) cares enough, can do. Perhaps he will inspire others to follow his example and the many drops will fill the bucket, providing a comfortable place to sleep for all unfortunate children of this world ticipating.

Judi Young of the Ontario Science Centre in Toronto demonstrates how this Jacquard loom uses punch cards to determine the woven pattern â€" even though the loom was built in the 1840’s. The loom, originally built for John Campbell, one of Canada's first weavers, was sitting in a barn until it was donated to the Centre. Judi, an Ontario Art College graduate, has worked partâ€"time on the loom for more than a year to put it into proper working order for demonstrations in the Science Centre this summer. By day, some groups chose to visit the Tower of London and Windsor Castle. The "Tower" was begun in 1078. and it has varied functions. Two rulers suffered violent deaths within its walls. and one was deposed there. Although many times besieged. it has never been cap- tured since its construction at the command of William the Conqueror as a stronghold over his newly-won English subjects in 1066.

PIONEER UTENSILS The men and women in the Seneca class are finding that there is a vast differ- ence in cookery today and that of pre-Confederation days.

The Tow- er Ravens have always been in the fortress, and legend dating from the time of Charles II (1660) maintains that,‘if none are there, the nation will face disaster. So there are usually five or six of these fierce birds near the White Tower. and al- though their wings are clipped, we witnessed a fierce attack on an unwary pigeon! The number of ravens is kept “on strength” by bringing additional numbers from Cornwall from time to time.

Still More Staff To Administer The UIC munmum““mumummmmumunu\munmuunuuuuuuw (Alexandria (Ont) Glengam V News) Labor Minister Bryce Mac- kasey's new Unemployment In- surance Plan is now in effect and both employers and their1 employees are feeling the ef- fects in larger payments or higher deductions from payroll. They should be happy to know those increased deductions from salary are not only promi- ‘sing easier‘benefits to the temp- iorarily jobless. They are, as ‘well. helping to finance still more empire building in Mr. Mackasey‘s department. Improved public service is planned by the Unemployment Insurance Commission. accord- ing to a release from Mr. Mac- kasey's office last week. The commission is reorganizing ex- isting offices “on a large scale" and will open new offices across the country. By the end of sum- mer more than 100 new offices will add to the services provia ded by the 60 now in full-time operation. In larger centres satellite offices are being established to support the work of ‘the district offices. Complete service offices will be located in strategic areas outside the larger metro- politan centres; then there will be partial service offices in rural areas where Specialized help is needed. In an effort to provide “a total service to the public" the U10 is also estab- lishing mobile or part time of- fices in locations where there are smaller populations remote from the services offered in llarger centres. Cornwall will retain its dis- trict office and Hawkesbury is one of the centres that will boast a new UIC office. The release does not specify wheth- er Hawkesbury’s will he a satel- lite office, a complete service office. a partial service office or a mobile or part time office. One hundred new service of- fices for one operation of the federal government seems more than a bit ambitious and one is left wondering if the intent is‘ to reduce the unemployment? rolls by providing a plethora oft job openings to staff all these; offices. Of course, the benefit‘ periods are being made much more flexible and as a consequ‘ ence the paper work and other administrative duties will de- mand more personnel in that branch of the Labor Depart- ment‘ Improved public service, Mr. Mackasey terms this new UIC setup. There are those who will see it as another form of in- direct taxation. the primary purpose of which is to further the empire-building proclivities of public servants in the De- partment of Labor. I hate asking directions on the street. Don't you? But my objective was the Thornhill Publlo Library and since the Richmond Hill telephone direc- tory gives no Thornhill listings, this became a nec- essity. Fortunately. the elderly couple I approached were residents of 40 years in. that area and we entered into a most engaging discussion about his- torical buildings. To my delight, the Thornhill Pub- lic Library is an historic site dating from 1851. The early Canadian structure and subsequent minor interior alterations to convert this building to a. library, made it an ideal setting for Jan Phelan‘s ceramics. There is something quite satisfying about a local craft diSplay in an early Canadian local set- ting. It just . . . fits. Jan Phelan is a. talented girl who has decided to make ceramics both her career and her way of life. She resides in Thornhill at 44 Dove Lane and has her studio right. in her home. After enrolling at OCA (Ontario College of Art), Jan knew that: material arts was her forte. but it wasn‘t until her third year that she decided ceramics must be he! specialty. She graduated last year. There is an odd characteristic about 002! alumni. (I, too, am one), we tend to “put down" the institution and instructors at every opportunity. It seems self defeating to me to put down the very institution into which one has invested four years of her life. Jan feels the same as do I and hastens to add that one instructor Roman Bartkiw was sing- ularly effective in inspiring originality. He taxed the students to work on their own themes and ideas and discarded the policy of handing in X number of mugs, pots and vases for a credit. Jan thrived under his regime and employing Bartkiw's quest for originality, together with the technical knowledge she gained from instructor David Long, she evolved her own unique understand- ing of the craft. Of the 33 pieces on exhibit at Thornhill Public Library. 11 had been marked sold by Monday last. Jan prefers the slab and organic methods to using the‘wheel and her work reflects the respect she has for the clays she uses. The clay she does most of her work in is very dark and is shunned by most potters and craftsmen because of the difficulties in glazing. It is high in iron and manganese content and most firings leave it muddy and undesirable. At this year's successful Mariposa Folk Festival, Jan ran a workshop, gave demonstrations, and sold about 50 pieces of her work. She sells most of her big pieces through the Potters’ Guild on Avenue Road near Bloor Street. In most cases she says, she grabs a friend. they load the trunk of the car and they approach specialty sheps. However, after 300 glaze experiments, Jan has developed one which enhances the natural qualities in the clay and it works very effectively for her. She has stylized her vases and ornaments with the smoothness of this variety of clay paramount in her mind. The result is a pleasing economy of assymet- rical balance which I find most attractive. Jan maintains a fairly rigid discipline in her approach to her work and keeps studio hours from about ten until four. However, if she feels she is on to something interesting, it is not unusual for her to work well into the wee hours of the morning.‘ I vv V- .. ‘0.

It would be ideal, of course, if Jan could market more of her work locally and indeed “The Loyalist" on Yonge Street in Thornhill already sells not a few of her creations. Perhaps on an afternoon soon, it would be a good idea to nip into The Loyalist and look over Jan’s work. The price range is modest and the work is first class.
