Speaking of local history, I discovered that Denise Painter who lives on Wiarton Crescent. and attended Tho- rnhill Secondary School is a history buff. It began with visits to Pioneer Village. She was fascinated by it and Calling all Thornhill~itesâ€"â€" Have you read “The Journals of Mary O'Brien?" You'll find it in the library. Mary O'Brien (nee Ga-pper) came ‘over to this part of the world tin the 1830's. She accom- panied her mother and doctor brother. and they were to visit two other brothers in the Thornhill area, before it‘ was Thornhill. There was an-1 other sister at home in Eng-l land. and Mary took the trouble to keep a diary, written up each day, to send to the sister. This diary was edited recently and so you can read about Mary’s day~by- day story. her romance, her settling over here for good. She talks of people and places whose names you’ll recognize. so you’ll relate easily to this book. HISTORY BUFF There will be outstanding speakers: Dr. Hans Selye, Dr. Josef Pieper. and Dr. Ned Cassem, as well as a group of distinguished pan- elists. The theme of the conference is: Maturing Life, Thornhill Girl lives History As Pioneer Village Interpreter August 26-28, at 135 Adel- aide Street East at the Ang- lican Diocesan Centre, there will be a conference on ag~ ing sponsored by the Canad- ian Institute of Religion and Gerontology. A note to remind you: the annual Show, Thornhill and District Horticultural Soc~ iety, will be held August 31 and September 1. Mark this in your calendar. Canadian Institute of Religion and Gerontology Following the tour re~ freshments will be served at the centre and the show will be on exhibit. Visitors are most welcome. The feature for the even- ing following the placement entries, will be a tour of three adjoining gardens, 3'? - 41 - and 45 Thornheights Road. (One block in from Yonge St. along Kirk. turn left). The Jarives, the Tem- pletons and the Calladine gardens will be there for your pleasure. The plant sales committee will provide iris, oriental poppies, etc., for August planting at bargain prices. (Photo by Barbour) She can preserve and use herbs from the herb garden. She knows how to dry apples and preserve other garden produce. She can cook with the old recipes. She makes bread for the family. using the flour ground at the mill. She can make you a poma- nder ball, or mould or dip candles. There are special candles for holidays made out of baby‘berries, the plants for which were brought from the States by the United Empire Loyalists. This is the third summer she has been at the Village. She also did a stint at Mac- kenzie House in downtown Toronto. She works four days and then is off for two. on for four again. PLAYS CELLO “Do you have time for any hobbies?" I asked. Her final comment about Pioneer Village was most interesting. “Adults come there to look and remember; children live the past in it." The summer job continued during the autumn and spring at weekend. Then she, with her additional knowledge, was able to change from house to house, taking on a new personality with each new costume. There are sum- mer and cold weather costu~ mes as well, she tells me. LEARNED CRAFTS The crafts demonstrated at The Village, intrigued her. so now she learned about them. She can spin on a walking wheel as well as the small colonial wheel. She weaves and dyes with the dyes made from native pants. And all kinds of sewing. of course. “York; the four~year course in education. I want to work with handicapped children." “But all this history?" "0, I have ideas how to use what I’ve learned." Denise assured me. Every time I think about her, I marvel that one teen- ager can accomplish so much. “I play the cello, in four orchestrasâ€, she answered. I think I gasped at that. “Now where to?" for she had told me that she had gra- duated from high school. (She also discovered to her amazement that her great- aunt had lived in Flyn cottage as her house in Newtonbrook. now Willowdale, so she and her aunt Loui Johnson shared experiences!) She took public speaking at school in order to do the job better and read whatever she could get her hands on. When research projects came up in the history course at school she chose “costuming†and “architecture†of that period to work upon. Constantly the knowledge and interest grew. “You couldn't help absorb," said Denise. She was made an assistant in the “Artisan’s Cottage," Flyn‘ House was a cobbler’s house. She assisted the inter- pretter until she knew what «he was supposed to know, and how she was supposed to act and wore the clothes which an artisan’s wife or daughter would have worn at that time. everything which happened there, and each visit increas- ed her interest. So when she reached the age of 17 she took her courage in her hands and asked if there was a job for her. There was, as an “Interpreterâ€, the name they give to the hostesses or guides in the various build- ings.

We have many new mem- bers at Thornhill this sum- mer, not just to the area but to tennis itself â€" and if you are in this category the following pointers (if follow- ed) will make for a more pleasant atmosphere: 1. Never walk behind a court when a point is in progress regardless of the standard of play. Not only is it a "no no" in the world of tennis but if ignored you could find yourself hit by a ball or by a racquet on the back swing .or knocked over by the player leaping for a difficult shot. It is not only dangerous to your health but is distracting to the players on the court. When it is “all clear" to cross. speed it up! It is rude to saunter! You are not only wasting the players' precious time but your own! The “C’s†had a busy week hosting Mayfair Valley Tuesday and Richmond Hill Thursday. Mayfair Valley won 5-1 With Thornhill's lone winners being Barb Rowe and Rick Mullin. Richâ€" mond Hill was beaten 5~1 and through a comedy of er- rors our first men's trotted out and played Richmond Hill's third and vice versa. Interestingly enough both matches were close with our third men‘s, of Kim Der- ry and Ralph Israel, winning over Richmond Hill’s first men’s in'three sets. Thornhill Majors dropped their first point of the sea- son when tying 3-3 at Brampton recently. Bramp- ton is close to the bottom of the league, but the absence of four regular players from Thornhill‘s team was too much of a handicap.
