At the last meeting of the Thornhill Ratepayers’ Asso-
ciation it was decided to create a Recreation Commission.
Thornhill will have a Recreation Commission if the residents
of the area want ene but, though many people have stated
they are interested and are-willing to help, only two have
agreed to serve on the executive. A minimum of 10 people
will be required as officers and committee chairmen if the
commission is to be of any benefit to the community in
organizing recreational. activities,

With the advent of shorter working hours, increased
leisure time con be used. for a variety of desirable and
béneficial activities, A Recreation Commission with the
aid, both financially and advisory, offered by the Com-
munity Programs Branch of the Department of Education,
could provide a variety of activities for all the residents of
the area. A list of these might include organized summer
or winter sports, a children's playground program, drama,
music, community social events, adult education or leader-
ship training. Almost any activity might be. organized if
sufficient interest was shown.

If you are willing to assist in either an executive role
or aS a committee member,. please call me at VI 3-5060.
Your assistance will be of benefit to the community.

_ MY BROTHER
—by Larry Gregorash

T have a little brother.

He goes to tell my Mother
Every time I go ‘out to play.

And that’s‘when I get mad,
We always fight day and night
And that gets mother mad.

My brother has two enemies
That's me, the oldest and my. -
little sister, Leanne
They aeem to be allergic to each
other, that is .
_ And when it comes to bedtime
they argue like mad,

And when I want to go fishing
you see,

“He gets very very very mad,
But when you come to think
 Ofat .

He Is very nice to have,
Around the bouse-you— —
Very very nice.
