Canadian Girls in Training The girls of the CGIT who meet Wednesday evenings at King City United Church are working on the history of the church in their mission study. This year is the 50th an- niversary of the United Church and also the 60th anniversary of Canadian Girls in Training. By Norman Matthews Subway riders seem to be a learned group, constantly improving their knowledge by reading a variety of printed words as they ride Toronto's underground. Standing, sitting. or leaning against a wall, the com- muters can be classified into a few distinct groups, each with its own peculiarities. Basically, I'm a non- reader. One of those lechers who would rather ogle the legs of the girl sitting across from me, or in lieu of such visual attractions, fall asleep. Occasionally I will find a discarded newspaper (hopefully of the same day) and read it until my destination arrives, at which point I leave it on a seat for another fellow commuter to have. After all, if I didn‘t pay for it, the least I can do is pass it on! But TTC riders do fall into basic reading categories which I define as hard cover, pocket novel, newspaper and magazine types; further subdivided by the type of person (ie: business executive, office clerk, and student). Pocket novels are at the top of the list for the career girl, and the subject titles bear no resemblance to the appearance of the girl. It is not uncommon to see a prissy looking girl reading one of the current X-rated sex novels with a complete deadpan expression on her face. Hard cover books, often library issues, are shared by all three kinds of people and definitely fix a certain status to this classification. The title of the book may be the same as that of a pocket novel, but the larger sized hard cover form raises its status to a higher (almost snobbish) level. And of course, this class of person does not fold down the corner of the pages to mark their place, but with great dignity uses a bookmark. They hope to {fiake a large A “tailor-made" Yonge Street reconstruction plan that will not destroy the character of Thornhill has been requested in a letter to the minister of tran- sportation and com- munications. Drafted by Graeme Gibson, interim chairman of the three month-old Society for the Preservation of Historic Thomhill, the letter was approved en- thusiastically by ap- proximately 60 people at a public meeting last week. Those at the meeting agreed Yonge should not be a major north-south thoroughfare with seven lanes, as planned by the Symphony plays at St. Andrew’s Want new Yonge designed for Thornhill character The York Region Sym- phony Orchestra extends a cordial invitation to the people of King to attend an evening of Bach and Beethoven January 24 at 8 pm at St. Andrew‘s College, Aurora.

The girls are also planning a Tupperware party in the near future to raise funds to plant a tree to commemorate the two anniversaries. now divided into loyalty groups, particularly in the morning rush hour time slot. The Toronto Sun seems to be running fairly close to the Globe and Mail and is easier for the novice paper-folder to handle. But you can’t help but admire the professional Globe reader who, section by section, folds it with determined neatness as he (or she) works his way through the pages glancing at the Report on Business, latest fashions, or Sports. Admirable but frustrating. I quite often feel tempted to reach over and snatch a section away, or rumple some of these sheets. Magazines are not really too popular with cOm- muters, but Time seems to be a favorite even though it is USA based. I would have thought that the in- tellectuals would be browsing through Reader’s Digest or National Geographic, and that young mods would be devouring the words contained in Forum. But not so! Likewise. I would have thought, in this liberated age, that Playgirl and Penthouse would have made the subway scene, but it seems that we‘re not ready for this yet. I mean, after all, in public and all! Another person you have to respect is the one who can read while standing up, without the aid of hanging on to one of those moveable handles. These awesome creatures sway back and forth, jiggle to and fro, are bumped, pushed and shoved. but never lose the line that they’re reading. Such powers of con- centration have to be commended. So the next time you go downtown and decide to read on the trip, remember that you have been classified and documented. Your commuter reading rating has been established. You might even see me reading this month’s Playboy! ministry. It was also suggested in the letter Bathurst Street should be considered for a bypass of Thomhill. Letter campaign MTC Minister John Rhodes can expect to be deluged with numerous other letters from Thornhill residents. Bill Trow, a Lions Club member and active local ratepayer, told the meeting he has prepared four or five variations of a protest letter and is encouraging Lions to send them to the minister. Patrick Trant of 7802 Yonge Street told the meeting he too has reproduced several copies of a letter he drafted and sent to various newspapers and the minister. His letter, which appeared in The Globe and Mail later in the week, called the ministry a Colossus of Roads that ignores people and trees and carves up communities “with fissures of brimming traffic." “When Rhodes rolls, I’ll be manning the barricade. Please detour around me,” 'I‘rant wrote. Gibson told the meeting Wednesday of last week, l‘hornhill cannot continue to be an ancient community in the middle of a modern world. “We just don‘t want them to disturb us too much. the the the Take-A-Break program starts January 23 Church news St. John‘s Anglican will hold a service of Holy, Communion at 10:30 January 26.

Bohd Lake Skating Club reports the Christmas dance was a great success and a Penny aucfion raises $52 The evening began about 8:30 pm and after a short business meeting the auction started. By Janet Russell The penny auction held at the Tanzos residence by the Ladies’ Scouting Auxiliary recently made just over $52 which will be put towards local Scouting activities. Just before the auction President Johanna Vahle presented Mary Tanzos with a past president‘s pin. Mary had served as president for two consecutive years. With Mary acting as auctioneer, the bidding from the 20 other ladies present was fast and furious on such diverse objects as an in- flatable vinyl chair and a green glass what- chamacallit. At one point I was asked by Mary to auction off a Royal Albert tea cup and saucer as she wanted to bid on it. After nearly dropping the precious objects, to the consternation of several ladies, I managed to sell them safely to the highest bidder â€" Mary, of course, she collects them! An auctioneer I ain‘t!
