0| & The few times I have been to meetings when Mr. Gillespie was participating, I was greatly impressed with his diplomacy and his sinâ€" cere effort to answer all questions put to him from the floor by laymen whose questions and comments were, at times, irrelevant or just plain stupid. Mr. All grade two classes visited Albion Hills maple syrup demonstration April 13 along with teachers, Mrs. Lee, Mrs. Milner and Miss Simpson and a number of parents who helped with supervision. The Board of Education of the Borough of York is losing not one but two very valuable members. Mr. A.G. Gillespie, â€" director _ of education and Mr. Bernard H. Clark, member of York Memorial Collegiate‘s music department. had an active program over the past few months. The children have donated more than one hundred and forty dollars to the Red Cross Youth as well as a special donation of Canadian School art for Red Cross Youth in Tehran, Iran. It is remarkable, really, as to the amount of money raised and donated not only to Red Cross Youth, but to other charitable organizations by students of the Borough of York. Students certainly deserve recognition for efforts in fund raising events. Mr. Gillespie, director of education since 1966, has been appointed a director of Metro School Board and will replace William McCordic, who has been Metro Board‘s top official since it was formed 19 years ago. The decision of the board to select Mr. Gillespie as successor to Mr. McCordic was almost unanimous and he brings many years of experience to the Metro board. For the last six years has been a member of the advisory council, made up of directors of education for the six area boards in Metro. York‘s loss is Metro‘s gain as Mr. Gillespie is a dedicated man and has worked many extra hours to help solve recent budget problems. Boy Scouts of the 239th troup, their 2 leaders Jim Adams and ~Don Chicione and my husband Bill went camping last weekend in Algonquin Park. I doubt if many toothâ€" brushes or towels and soap were used, the water in the lake was freezing. Some animals were spotted, in particular a moose and a fox and, of course, numerous birds including a woodâ€" pecker. The boys arrived home about 3:30 Sunday afternoon none the less for wear but a little weary. The next time a trip of this type is planned let‘s hope more fathers participate. It was the first time Bill had ever slept in a sleeping bag in a tent and it was quite an experience for him. The 14 scouts seemed to thoroughly enjoy the trip and with leaders like Jim and Don, who without them this opportunity would not have been possible, the boys learned to cook their own food over open fire, they went on hikes in the forest and were walking through snow above their knees and having a social time in sitâ€" ting around a campfire telling stories. The days were beautiful, but it got a bit chilly at night and everyone snuggled deep into sleeping bags. The staff and pupils of D. B.

York Gym Club will participate in the Open House Parks and Recreation are hosting at the Parks Yard on Rockliffe Blyd. Sunday, May 28, from one to five in the afternoon. There was a question and answer period which cleared up different aspects of the program, but in my regard, not enough parents took the time to come out to learn just what was going on and to better understand _ the program _ offered their children.
