Parents Pleased With Work Of Brooklin School Pupils Brooklin Public and High Schools held Open House yester- day afternoon. Dozens of parents took occasion 'o visit the school to see teac. actually co Jing classes and to observe how Johnny and Mary were taking it all.

Science classes, graft work art and the practical side of useful living, now find a larger place in the curriculum. Even the making of string-controlled puppets was a school-hobby on display in one room. Principal John Kaine of the High School and Mrs. E. P. Rogers of the public school welcomed the visitors. Ordinary teaching pro- ceeded during the afternoon, D. W. Thompson is the other High School teacher in Brooklin, while Mrs. B. Duncan ahd Mrs. L. R. Gray assist Mrs. Rogers. Enrolment in the High School is 48 and about 100 in the Public School, Around the walls of the rooms were splendid examples of art work. On the desks, work books were laid out in neat order.

(Contributed) The Women's Auxiliary John's Church, Port Whitby, met in the Sunday School Room on Thursday evening last for their monthly business and devotional meeting, with the president, Miss Olive Goldring in the chair. There was a good number present. The meeting opened with a hymn fol- lowed by prayers by the president. The scripture reading was by Mrs. D. Birbeck. The speaker for the evening was Rev.

This alldress was very much enjoyed by all, The mission study was given by Miss Sleep on "Arabia". Miss Sleep said, "It is a marvel howpmission- aries get anywhere in Arabia. They must work through the children and through the children interest parents." It was decided to hold the an- nual afternoon tea, at which time the bale is to be packed on Wed- nesday, April 25. Mrs. James Harvey showed a very interesting collection of dolls which she had received since child- hood as souvenirs from relatives and friends from different coun- tries in the world.

Pidgeon, D.D, Recalls On Interesting Former Businessman Birthday Events Today, the many friends of Wil- liam Albert Holliday, 201 Byron Street North, extend to him warm congratulations and best wishes. It is his 85th birthday. For years, 8 well -known mer- chant in Brooklin and then Whitby, Mr. Holliday has also continuously played an important part in com- munity life. He is a Christian gentleman admired by all. Fortun- ately he has continued in good health with the exception of a little lameness in one foot and keeps active day after day. Mr. ' Holliday's business career began in Brooklin when he was 20 years of age and his father was operator of a general store. Three years later, the sudden death of his father, the late Daniel Holli- day, left him in charge of this business which he continued with success for the next 23 years. From 1914 to 1926, he lived in Toronto, but then returned to Whitby to purchase a 'hardware business in which. W. FP. MacCarl was associ- ated -- the same store that is Mac- Carl's Hardware today. Mr. Holliday has two children, Dorothy, at home, and Douglas, now in North Bay. Douglas had been assisting in the hardware business prior to his enlistment in 1940 and it was this fact, coupled with the realization he was near retirement age, which prompted Mr. Holliday to dispose of his busi- ness interests on February 1, 1941. Though leading a busy business life, Mr. Holliday has had some time for limited participation in politics and public affairs. For one year he was president of the South Ontario Liberal Association. In Brooklin for ten years he was treasurer of the Township of Whitby. i Outstanding have been his con- tributions to church affairs and temperance work. For 12 years he was superintendent of Brooklin Presbyterian Sunday School and held offices in other Christian groups. When the Brooklin Council of Royal Templars was organized in 1883, he was the youngest char- ter member and this connection has continued ever since in the Independent Order of Oddfellows which absorbed the Templars. After coming to Whitby he served in the United Church and has been a member of the Session. Mr. Holliday's memory stands clear back to his first school days. He has favored The Times-Gazette with this interesting account: "My first school days were in the Dun- barton public school, 1874 to 1877 where the late J. Holmes was sole teacher for some 40 years. In the early months of 1878, studies were continued in the Brooklin Public School where the late John Clerk and A. G. Henderson were princie pals, with two assistant teachers. "On September 2, 1878, a certifi- cate of admission to the Whitby High School was obtained, this bearing the signature of the prin- cipal, the late George H. Robinson, M.A. This was followed by two more years of regular attendance at the Whitby School with daily round trips made by train or horse- drawn vehicles, in which the late Robert H. Walks and J. Frank Dale were daily companions. A three- month course in Asbusiness college in Toronto, 'compl the actual period of schooling, but not of edu- cation, for there was much of this in the business and social contacts of 30 years in Brooklin, and in the church and Friendly Societies mem- berships. Coupled - with this was studious reading of the daily news- paper and & moderate amount of educative literature in books and magazines and the influence and teaching of the Holy Bible. In the years in which there was official connection with the Brooklin Sun- day School, at least two hours each week were devoted to study of the portion set for the following Sun- day and the helpful comments of writers as published in the "Sune day School Times." This training continued to be a cultural and spir- itual asset through the succeeding years." £ MUSIC TEACHER ARTHUR W. LYNDE, LH.CM.
