The speakers for the evening were Mr. and Mrs. Ed Brown of the Heritage Museum near Uxbridge. Mr. Brown gave the history of the museum. He and his wife collected Canadiana and enjoyed it so much they decided to open their display to the public. (Private funds were made available.) Afterwards Mr. Amos Baker was persuaded to tell Stories of his boyhood. He makes up displays of leaves, etc. for children and he described these. The display has grown through loans as well as gifts. Now school classes visit the museum and some pioneer crafts are taught. The Vaughan Township Historical Society is par- ticularly interested because a museum for that district is one of the priorities. The evening ended with Warren Raymond and Frank Robinson reciting poems from their first readers â€" which must have been hilarious!

There was the rummage sale on September 28 where a tremendous amount of useful articles and clothing changed hands Not only did the church make a respectable amount of monies for its work, but bargains galore were also made. Rummage sales give an opportunity to so many people to buy some necessity at a very reduced price. And in these days that means a great deal. Then on October 2 the morning group, convener Mrs. Beth Smith, were hostesses at a Canadiana Luncheon. It began with a display of Canadiana loaned by various members for the occasion. Then there was a luncheon, at which two hundred were served. The menu was in keeping: homemade chicken pie, salads and relishes, plus gingerbread with whipped cream for dessert. Mrs. Hellen Hawke. president of the UCW, welcomed the guests and introduced the guest speaker. Mrs. Jean Smith. well known lecturer on Canadiana. She brought some interesting articles: a bride‘s quilt which was prepared for the hope chest but not quilted until the wedding day was set. samplers, a rug made of clothing rags. and a velvet backed pin cushion set on a little glass stand. She then spoke of women who had, and are still making a dif- ference to life in Thornhill: Mrs. Miller, the first settler, Holy Ann Preston, and Mrs. Elsa Neil who was a founder of Pioneer Village.

She is in the hopes of getting some redress in the matter of her damaged car. It is Mrs. Mihay’s con- tention Campbell Con- struction Company of Fort Erie, which was working on the road, was remiss in not posting signs advising motorists to stay out. She said her own car, a 1960 model. was so badly damaged as a result of the experience, that the garage where it was taken af- terwards for repairs, told her. “It’s not worth fixing". Although an older model, her car had recently passed a safety check and was in good shape, she said. On the night in question, Mrs. Mihay said she got about halfway down the road when her car got stuck in the muck and gumbo. The car was down so far on one side that her mother, who was in the passenger seat‘ had to get out the driver‘s door.
