Discovering places to visit in winter time is difficult. The member who suggested the shopping party envisaged nothing more than a trip down town to Eaton's and Simpson‘s. But the idea flourished when Mrs. LcaVena Hunt suggested a visit to one of the big plazas would be a real treat to those without cars. The plans were imme- diately made. The senior adults orf Thornhfll (they meet at Thornhill United Church) held their first outing of the year on February 14. Their faithful and favorite bus driver was at the wheel, the Reverend Alf McAlister. Revered Egerton Peacock’s pictures and account of a summer trip to ‘the Arctic was the main item on mhe program.

The regular meeting of Thornhil'l Presbyterian WMS was held on» the afternoon of February 19 at the home of Mrs. Norman Nixon, the president. She led the devo- tional period. This was fol- lowed by ‘the business meet- ing. The Thank Offering, April 16, was id-scussed. The offering prayer was taken by Mrs. Mabel Mizen. of Scarboro and later metro chairman, who lived just long enaugh to see it com- pleted. It must be seen to be ap- preciated. The 1400 plants and the fig trees from Flori- da add to the beauty. The past history of Scarboro and the pictures of the early days of the borough were most interesting, Their next meeting will take place on March 12, one week early. There will be a book review “Born to Love" by Dr. Muriel James. This will be followed by discus- sion' while the women make cancer dressings. A very special thank-you gees to Mr. McAlister for vi- siting the Centre the pneâ€" vious day to explore it for himself and make any neces- sary arrangements. MEMBERS ILL There were quite a num- ber of members unable to make the 'trip. Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Foster were both ill with flu. Harry May has not fully recovered from his recent operation. Some mem- bers are vacaticning in the south. The tour finisihed at 1 pm and the group lunched at the Civic Centre Cafeteria. They were born eaga’m by 3 o‘clock, and everyone voted the first shopping expedition a great success. Five members were still convalescing from recent ill- nesses and felt they could not do so much walking. In a very kind and thoughtful gesture Miss Mabel Sander- son entertained the five stayâ€"at-home's with a delight- ful luncheon in her apart- ment. A vote of thanks goes The Women of the Church. Christ the King Lutheran, planned a skating party for t'he regular meeting on Feb- ruary 19. But ‘the weather did] not co-operate. They met at the church instead for discussion, conversation and refreshments. The theme this year is “We Believe”.

COMPANY CAMP A company camp was held at Richildaca on the weekend of February 9. Beautiful, cold, sunny, winter weather helped make it a perfect weekend. Activities and high- lights included a hike and Cookout, laying woodcraft trails, Hiker and Explorer badge work, tobogganing. The day was relatively warm and the forecast of rain did not materialize. The trail was quite muddy in places but the Guides had great fun crossing flooded streams on logs and make- shift bridges. A starlight toboggan party was followed by popcorn, hot chocolate and a campfire program A Guides’ Own was held up in a tree fort in the snowy woods. The camp was shared with the To- ronto company which shared last winter‘s camp so there was a chance to renew old friendships and make some new friends.

It was decided to “adopt” the visitor from England, Mrs. Elizabeth Davis, for the duration of her stay here. Mrs. Sayers pinned on an Institute pin from the de- funct Richmond Hill branch. Mrs. Davis was very appreci- ative of the gesture. The business meeting adjourned after the singing of “0, Ca- nada".
