Begun In Burgess Corners Home, St. Andrew‘s Church Celebrates Its Fifth Birthday Humber Heights: St. Andâ€" rew‘s Presbyterian Church, Humber Heights, will cetebrate the fifth anniversary on Sunday November 7th. From a very humble and truly Christian beginning in t h e home of Miss Jessie Masters, Burgess Corners, "the church grew from the Westobicoke Sunday school class in April, 1948. * As the class grew larger with each succeeding Sunday, the Westobicoke class was required to find larger quarters. dn the month of June the Westobicoke class moved to Humber Heights school, under the leadership of Mr. Gordon Maln, ‘B.A. Mr. Main continued in charge of the class till June, 1949, In September 1949, the Rev. Currie Creelman of the Weston Presbyterian _ church, became interested in the work of the Westobicoke class and through his effort, zeal, and encourageâ€" ment formed the first congreâ€" gation named St. Andrew‘s, Humber Heights. _ Thus the first church was formed in the Humber Heights area. On urday, May 12th, 1951, the fifst sod was turned for the new / church building at the northeast corner of Royaleigh Ave. and Royal York Road North. # The Rev. ‘WBTr Welch was graduated from Knox College in April, 1952, and was appointâ€" ed the first ordained minister of the church. The cornerstone was laid in a simple, impressive ceremony by the Rev. D. D. Rowland on July 26th, 1951.

Wardâ€" law, David Wilkins, and Richâ€" ‘ard Wilkins. The Elmlea Home and School Association entered its second year of operation last Wednesâ€" day &t a meeting attended by over 200 Rexdale parents. On .behalf‘ of last year‘s exeâ€" cutive and as a result of their activitiés, Mrs. Elliot presonted a movie projector, a set of drapes for the siege and a set of Junior Encyclopaedia Britannica which were accepted by the Principal, Mr. Rutherford, on béhalf of the school. and family, We wish her Bon Voyage. h The latter portion of the meet ing took the form of a "Meet the Teacher" period. Introduc tory remarks by Mr. Rutherâ€" ford suggested ways in which parents could best coâ€"operate with the teachers to ensure that the pupil received the utmost benefit _ from _ the â€" relatively short time he is under school supervision. O ne â€" interesting point brought out was that abâ€" senteeism of students actually costs the taxpayer money. As government ‘grants â€" to / Public schools are based on total atâ€" tendance in "student days," a low attendance record means a Jower grant. This deficiency must be made up from taxes. hence a higher school tax rate. Respect for school property as well as other people‘s, was stressed by Mr. Rutherford as being a very necessary quality to develop in the student. The entire teaching staff was then introduced from the stage, at which time the meeting offiâ€" cially closed. A very interesting session followed in the classâ€" rooms where the parents met their children‘s respective teachâ€" ers, who in turn outlined some of the methods used in present dayâ€" teaching and the goals they hope to achieve. Timeâ€"tables and routines. were explained and sample problems shown, making it a very enlightening and, it is to be hoped, mutually profitable half hour. y â€" Refreshments were enjoyed by everyone and for a one year old organization it looks like a big year coming up, with an enâ€" rolled membership of 168 at this date.

"I charge that the North York Council are indirectly responâ€" sible for the recent disastrous loss of life and property. Why was the land in the low lying areas not set aside as park land instead of being sold to subâ€" dividers? Is the North York cou:ic.. so greedy for monéy that nothing else has any imâ€" portance?
