The Thornhill Minor Hoc- ey Association is expanding and improving its program this year with the aim of do- ing a better job for the youth of the community, says 3rd Viceâ€"President John Iannuz- zi of Romfield Circuit. In a press interview this week Iannuzzi put the suc- cess of the association’s Thornhill Thunderbirds hoc- key effort squarely before the business community which has got to help. THA Thunderbirds Expanding Businessman Urges Support With the aid of a $15,115 grant. a group on Queen Street East is setting up a social, recreational and ac- tivity centre.

In the central city. the New Horizons flone Parakeet {Visits Feeder | The theme of the associa- tion's campaign is “Minor Hockey Is Great Kid Stuff". Further south, New Ven- tures on Dundas Street West is organizing a recreation and educational program consisting of courses in cooking, sewing and re- modelling clothes, painting, crafts and dancing. An ethnic group will have its own centre with crafts for fund raising. records and films for teaching Eng- lish, costumes and stage set- tings for choral and drama groups. and transportation to other senior citizens homes and residences for the aged and disabled. Our house is on the edge of Pomona Park and we are blessed with a small ravine with a tangle of bushes, trees. etc. â€"- just what the birds like. So we see a great many birds of many varieties during the summer, both at the feeder and in the valley. Of course we have a sur- feit of starlings. grackles and house sparrows. but to lure on the other species we put up with them with a smile and feed them as well as the others, in true Biblical fashion! The Thornhill association's 11â€"man executive is giving its time free to build this major local youth sport ac- tivity and are trying to build community business support. Iannuzzi notes Thornhill is always looking for independ- ence and self-identity, so this is the time for “Wake Up Thor'nhill, Do Your Aims of most groups is to provide recreation. com- panionship and creative ac- tivities for the retired people they represent. Ice time at the \new Thornhill Community Centre twin arenas is projected to cost approximately $35 an hour. The association has started its fund raising cam- paign and will have it run- ning for several weeks. The season for OHA play starts October 5 and they hope to have the fund raising com- pleted by then. We have not been keep- ing a list but I know we have had robins. crows, jays, not-so-common spar- rows, gold-finch. cow birds, cardinals. chikadees, wood- peckers both downy and hairy, grosbeaks, yellow and rose breasted, phoebes, king- birds, catbirds, crested fly catchers. warblers. black and white and Canada, a wren. orioles. a thrasher, a shrike. and of course we can see bank swallows, plovers. and the occasional kingfisher. But imagine our astonish- ment when Monday a week ago we had a parakeet at the feeder, a beautiful aqua bluelwith gray and white wings. He comes regularly now, even talks to us. We are very worried about him because we have noticed that some of the other birds are chasing him. Besides I know that as it gets colder he won't be able to cope. We cannot lure him into captivity. We have asked all the neighbors if they have lost such a bird or know anyone who has. So far we have had no results. SO IF YOU KNOW OF ANYBODY WHO HAS LOST SUCH A BIRD, OR EVEN IF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THEIR HABITS AND THINK YOU COULD RES- CUE HIM. PLEASE GET IN TOUCH WITH US at 889- 5372. Of course by this time he may have left us or have come to a sudden end. key Association representa- tive teams from the seven- year-old minor atoms all the way up to juvenile. About 80 boys are expect- ed to be involved with the Thunderbirds during the 1974-75 season. Most of the annual budget is raised by team sponsorships plus the registration fees of $70 per vear per boy. Stuff" PROUD OF THORNH’ILL ’as is shown by the small size reproduction of the associaâ€" |tion sticker displayed with ' this story. The sticker is the recognition awarded by the association to businesses which contribute to the pro- gram fund and for them to display as a symbol of their support for minor hockey. The highlight of the Thornhill and District Hor- ticultural Society's meeting August 13. was a visit to the Jarvie, Templeton and Cal- ladine gardens on Thorn- heights Road. For many of us who have been coping not too successfully with the long drought, it was an eye- opener and a pleasure to see gardens where growth was lush and green and color in profusion. Each garden was different with its own points of interest which no doubt would be identical for each visitor. The Thornhill Minor Hoc- key Association has been in operation for 11 years and every year is getting bigger, says Iannuzzi. One of the big sources of revenue is the Club 400 which includes a car draw and dance every March and a draw for prizes every week. Club 400 mem- bers buy chances to win $5,500 worth of prizes every year. 3 MORE TEAMS Last year's association bud- get for nine teams was $33.- 000 and this year there is to be 12 teams, which will push the budget above $35,000, says Iannuzzi. Coaches are lined up for this year’s teams as follows: minor atoms Don Roberts, atoms Jim Davidson, minor peewees Ron Briden, pee- wees (the team that goes each year to the Quebec City tournament) A1 Morris, min- or bantams Jim Grant, ban- In the Templeton garden it was a bed of carnations on the west side and a short row of sweet peas on the opposite side. The blue- green foilage and the colour of the flowers looked so cool and refreshing after that rather hot day. In the Calla- dine garden it was the large nlanting of sturdy tomatoes with here and there the red- ness of the ripening fruit which appealed to my lik- ing for vegetables in the home garden. To this observer, in the Jarvie garden, it was the Hod of mixed annuals, aglow with color as each of the great variety of plants "eemed to be vying for my attention as if to say: “Don’t miss me. I am an important nart of the scene." No doubt for others the points of special interest were elsewhere. But for all it was a most enjoyable evening. Back at the Community Centre a fine array of flowers and vegetables was being judged. For the third successive month the number of entries was much higher than those of a year ago, and for this show the number of exhibi- tors was also higher, a most encouraging feature. In the floral specimen classes the point winners who followed each other very closely were (in order): Marion Jarvie and Joe Wain (tied). Jack Manning, Evelyn Calladine, Murray Smith. Kay Qually, Margaret Riley. Lucille Pherrill, John Mit- chell. Betty Cresswell, Norm Lightfoot and Mabel Mizen and Doris Butterworth (tied), Dilys Chamney, Ethel Benson and Rezin Steele (tied). Three Local Gardens Toured By Thornhill Horticulturalists The special prize in this section was awarded to Murray Smith for the lily “Black Beauty." As usual the decorative section provided a dramatic and colorful display of flower designs. The winners and themes were: “Cool Waters” â€" Evelyn Calladine, Marion Jarvxe, Ethel Benson. “Night and Day" â€" a de- sign in black and white â€"â€" “Moonlight and Roses” â€"â€" Marion Jarvie, Evelyn Mit- chel.

By MURRAY SMITH Fund Raiser Campbell em- phasized that the best way for businessmen to participate in their community is through hockey. since in most communities no other activity reaches so many. WIDE AREA SUPPORT Campbell says the associa- tion this year is trying to encourage support from bus- iness over a wide area of ’southern York Region and in Metro too, not only just from the core of Thornhill. The families of participating Thornhill boys are involved in businesses and do busin- ess with firms over a much wider area. he points out, in- cluding largely Richmond Hill. The actual boundaries of the area the association draws players from are High- way 7, Steeles Avenue, High- way 48 and Bathurst Street. Contributions are all de- ductible for income tax pur- poses and should be sent to Post Office Box 2, Thornhill. added 3rd Vice-President Iannuzzi of Romfield Circuit and Concord.

In the Junior section a first was awarded to Nancy Turner for her design “Lovely to Look At,” using one flower and foilage. A relaxed sit-down half hour of refreshments at the centre followed the tour which in turn was followed by a leisurely view and dis- cussion of the exhibits. With plant sales reporting a good night it appears that this year’s summer show was the most successful yet. Drive Ethel Benson.
