“There is no one an- swer for the increase in the number of kids taking the course.“ said Jack Cronin, Superintendent of Special Services. “I guess some parents preferred to wait before they com- mitted their ’kids â€" people are always a little An informal student survey by the principal shows that 36 claimed they enjoy Italian, one does not and the same number felt they were learning a significant amount of Italian.

At the beginning of the year 83.2 per cent of the total enrollment were taking ltalian classes â€" by June 5. that figure was up to 94.6 per cent or an increase from 614 to 702 kids taking the program.

The parents' views are not the only indicators Italian instruction is good for St Peter‘s. Out of 415 families surveyed, 283 returned their responses. Asked if they are pleased with the Heritage program, all answered yes. Parent responses to a questionnaire indicate the program has so far been an overwhelming suc- cess. While the 21 per cent of the course costs now being paid for by tax- payers will be borne by ministry grant, the board must decide if it will continue to charge those families whose children take Heritage Language. Under board policy. to help defray costs of materials and because students take Saturday morning Italian classes at other locations and pay a fee. there is a charge of $5 per student and a maximum of $10 per family for the program. “Our grant structure has improved for 1979 and funding for this program will come from the province," said Mr. Pelliccione. “The ministry says it will no longer be necessary to charge fees to parents.“ Chairman Larry Pelliccione recently received a letter from the Ministry stating its satisfaction with the program. An added bonus for the board is that Italian instruction at St. Peter‘s School in Woodbridge will become 100 per cent grantabie as of September. Lib’éral The Separate School Board is pleased with the first year‘s operation of Italian instruction under the Heritage Languages Program and has been lauded for its efforts by the Ministry of Education. The first row of houses in the Thornhill- Vaughan plan are now rising just north of the CN tracks and west of Dufferin Street.

This feature was echoed on a smaller DESIGNATE m.“ mm“... m..- .t, 4---“-.. T Until 1849 the Presbyterians of Thornhill were served by a minister from the Richmond Hill church. When the local British Methodist congregation merged with the Wesleyans in 1850; they sold their four-year-old church to the Presbyterians for 52 pounds. Under the leadership of the Reverend George Dick, the building was moved to its present location on Village Lot number six, situated in the gore of land between old and new Yonge Streets, south of the Dan River and north of Centre Street. The lot had been purchased from George Munro, Esq. for 40 pounds. The Thornhill Presbyterians worshipped and socialized in their church for over a century. An excerpt from a sermon delivered by D.W. Cooper at the last service held in the old church on March 1, 1959 reveals the sentiments and reasons f0r leaving: The old church had long formed a part oi the rich heritage of the congregation and had many warm memories for all, but particularly for those members who together with their families had worshipped in it for a generation or more. However, the pressing needs of a growing congregation left no alternative but to seek a new house of worship. ARCHITECTURAL DESCRIPTlON: A photgraph taken in 1890 shows the Tornhill Presbyterian Church proudly overlooking Yonge Street and surrounded by a sturdy white picket fence. Because it was built by Methodists, who spurned ostentation, the impressiveness of this building is conveyed by its simplicity of style and design and its classical proportions. Like many early 19th century Methodist buildings, this timber-frame and clapboard church was executed in a vernacular Greek Revival style. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE The Old Presbyterian Church (built ca. 1846 as the British Methodist Chapel) is one of the few remaining examples of the modest ecclesiastical architecture employed by Methodist congregations in the second quarter of the 19th century. Elements of the Greek Revival style are evident in the building's temple form and such architectural details as the pedimented gable in the front facade and the eared mouldings which trim each window. ' This church ferms an integral part of what is left of the historic streetscape on the west side of Yonge Street, and with its neighbouring landmarks serves to remind future generations of the architectural roots of Thornhill. In a paper delivered by Past-President of Heritage Canada, R.A.J. Phillips, we find a warning and a recommendation: Our heritage of churches will not survive by accident, it will indeed take its course in sagging walls, leaking roofs and rotting sills. Churches and Governments should take a responsibility they have never comprehended by consolidating riches...and transferring underused buildings to the continued enrichâ€" ment of the community...The community could preserve the quality of its streetscape, and bring light to darkened interiors. We could all be richer. 0” All CERAMIC TILE/fl STOCK 6 p.m.to 10 pm. Thurs.

The two-mile long section along Steeles Avenue from Duf- ferin Street to Hilda Avenue which will be constructed in a five foot, six inch tunnel will be built by S. McNally and Sons Ltd. M. M. Dillon are the consulting engineers. OFF A large addition, to house a Sunday school cum church hall, an Office and vestry, was built on to the rear of the building and access was facilitated bv a doorway on each side of the altar. Unlike the original church, which was constructed with handâ€" hewn beams and accordion-split lath, the new addition was a balloon frame structure made with saw mill lumber. The interior trim in the addition is late Victorian and therefore the product of a mechanized planing mill as opposed to the hand planed mouldings of the original church. Some time after 1890, the boxAlike vestibule was added at the front door. Its design was very much in keeping with, and sympathetic to, the proportions of the original building, but exhibits architectural detaila that one does not find on early Methodist churches. The pediment in the gable surmounts a dentilated cornice and the plain frieze is “supported” by pilasters at the corners and on each side of the doorway. Although the church in its present state would appear to many to be a ruin, it has potential and could be restored. it is a building of major local significance and deserves to be saved. The monetary investment would be high, but the return in terms of its heritage value to the town of Thornhill, its residents and its visitors would be a wealth immeasurable. Any person may, before the 16th day of July, 1979 send by registered mail or deliver to the Clerk of the Town of Vaughan, notice of his or her objection to the proposed designation, together with a statement of the reasons for the objection and all relevant facts. When a Notice of Objection has been received, the Council of the Town of Vaughan will refer the matter to the Conservation Review Board for a hearing and report. DATED at the Town of Vaughan this 13th day of June,1979. ‘ About the success and quality of the instruction. Mr. Cronin said: “The proof of the pudding is the kids' reaction in class ~ they like it." In 1890 the Presbyterians remodelled and enlarged their church. The bench pews were removed and vertical wainscoating was applied over the original horizontal boards. The "chancel" end of the church was graced with a concave alcove which stimulates the apse found in tradional 'high-church’ architecture. A stagelike platform was installed to raise the altar choir pews and pulpit above the congregation. program, both of which will be looked after in the summer. The front least) facade, with its symetrically placed double doors and tall flanking windows on each side, is crowned by a deeply set and moulded pediment in the gable. This feature was echoed on a smaller scale directly above the doorway. The windows are trimmed with an eared moulding that is slightly peaked. This eared trim was a popular feature that can be found on many houses in Thornhill and demonstrates the awareness and fondness that the local craftsmen had for the classical revival. Each of the side walls of the church contain two tall windows similar to those found at the front. Although the fenestratiOn has suffered at the hands of vandals and the windows are now boarded up, it is not difficult to imagine how much light once radiated into the interior of the church. The original interior appears to have had a centre aisle and wide horizontal boarding which ran along the walls under the windows. The pews ran perpendicular, and were attached directly to these boards. Evidence of this can be found in the unpainted "stripes" where the backs of the benches met the wall. in keeping with the Methodist tradition, there would have been a preacher’s pulpit in the centre of the west wall that overlooked the congregation. It was no doubt removed when the Presbyterians bought the church in 1850. 3054 Don Mills Rd. 1286 Kennedy Rd (Peanui Plaza) (Souvh of Ellesmere) 3LT WALLPAPERS 491 -6565 The finest and largest selection of imperted & domestic wallpapers COLOUR CONSULTING ‘& INTERIOR DECORATION SERVICE SAVE $3 30% R.J.
