University Women Mrs. Elizabeth Mets Cannot Ban Horses And Mules From Town's Residential Areas A municipality may prohibit the keeping of domestic fowl and most animals within its bound- aries, but the Municipal Act says it can’t prohibit horses and mules, Town Solicitor Torn Fraser told Richmond Hill Council March 5. He said the town could pass a regulatory bylaw, but such a bylaw cannot be prohibitory in the guise of being regulatory. He also noted that the municipality could limit rthe number of animals on a pro- perty, and pass regulations about good housekeeping. Such a bylaw could not be made retroactive, however. His opinion was sought on a complaint by Mrs Elizabeth Mets and her neighbors. Mr. and Mrs. John Abemrombie of the North Road. Lake Wil- cox.

The finished projects and new skills learned were de- monstrated in front of pa- rents March 6 in the gym. The first in show what they had learned was Mrs, Eileen Cable‘s folk dancing group. The pupils demonstrated the Clap Dance from Germany, the Shoemakers' Dance from Denmark and the Chimes of Dunkirk from Belgium. While I watched them I was reminded of the afternoons when I had just wandered arcund peering into moms and taking notes. The first class Ihad seen was the dance group. The second room I spent time in was Mrs. Marie Dun- can's sewing class and they were the next to show what they had accomplished. First. though, a member of the group told the audience how they had learned of the vari- ous origins of materials. Some come from plant fibres such as jute and linen and others from animals as in the case of wool. and yet others are man-made such as nylon. Mr. Dou-g Kyte’s group was next on the floor, explaining how they had made paper flowers, designs and snow- flakes and some adorable paper puppets which brought an “ah-Jh-h" of appreciation from the audience. Then it was the turn of Rod Anderson and his folk-singing group. As the group got into their first song my mind switched back to one Wednesday when I walk- ed near the staffroom and heard the strains of “She’ll Be Coming Round The Moun- tain When She Comes â€" Toot, Toot" and had naturalâ€" ly had to investigate. I found Mr. Anderson and his class engrossed in singing and having a ball by the sound of things. The second song the group sang was called, “When I First Came To This Land," one I have never heard be- fore, and thoroughly enjoyed. Judging by the amount of ap- plause, so did the rest of the audience. Then the group circled around the audience carrying their sewing. which took the form of bookmarks, slippers. bags and mittens. The next group to demons- trate their skills was Miss Beth's. They had learned how to weave, but first we were given an explanation as to how each piece of work was achieved and then they proudly displayed their work. The group had made small and large “god's eyes". book- marks and belts. I had talked to the pupils in the group a week ago and they all seemed to like mak- :ng the “god's eyes" which are indeed very striking to 5°C and look impressive near the front doorway of a house where they are supposed to ward off the “evil eye” and keep the house free from bad spirits or influences. I had not seen the finished articles and seeing them for the first time I was impres- sed by the high standard of the work. Joe Tanzos had showed his group woodworking and electrical wiring. Some of the class had made table lamps while others had work- ed on junction boxes, trouble lights, extension cords, etc. Mrs. Ruth Harbard's group were then in the limelight as they had chosen drama. The class was: sub-divided into five groups and each put on a short puppet show. The puppets were made by the students out of paper bags and very cleverly decorated. I had never realized that a paper bag could be used so imaginatively. Next on the floor was the group which‘ had learned techniques of dying led by Mrs. Glenna Gollins and Mrs. Elizabeth Metz. The children had tie-dyed T-shirts which they wore and demonstrated paper dying and batik. Dur- ing the time I had spent in their classroom, Mrs. Metz had produced some beautiful examples of her own batik work and got the class really enthused about doing some of their own. Ideas were run- ning wild on paper and the room was a hive of activity. If you enje ya cream sherry new. you ’1] welcome the fuller taste of a medium-dry sherry.

Before I tell you about the grand finale of the afternoon! let me mention that_ some of the items made by the pupils will ‘be on view at the Spring Fair at Bond Lake Arena. May 25. Then, after all the other“ skills and talents had been displayed it was time to sit back, laugh and enjoy, “The Ski Party." a movie written cast by Principal Robert An- derson's group. The story told how, after leaving the local ski lodge. (which looked remarkably like the library). Terry Wind- sor, the hero, broke a leg af- ter braving the formidable slopes of Baber's Gravel Pits. He was transported by tobog- gan ‘fia-m-bul'ance" to the hos- pital, faintly reminiscent of Lake Wilcox School. Here, nursed back to health by a duly sympathetic nurse (played by Christine Collins) his gratitude turns to love and they become engaged â€"â€" end of story. The film with its accompa- nying sound track is hilarious and the group got a real charge out of making it. The audience was clearly enthu- siastic and it was in all a very charming and delightful af- ternoon. The principal and staff of Lake Wilcox School are to be commended on their enthu- siasm and dedication. The consensus from the audience was that the elective program is a very good one and helps develop dormant talents or interests. At the York County [to-- man Catholic School Board’s Science Fair for the northern section of York Region nine young people from Sacred Heart 'and Holy Name Schools in the King area were win- ners and will have their projects entered in the regional science fair for all schools in York.
