Your reâ€" porter noted with interest the sturdy militaryâ€"style bag that Miss Thomson carried, and also the fine grey flannel skirt,. and also her fine grey wool sweater were famous English products, but that the winter coat she wore was one purchased not long ago in Timâ€" Miss Thomson is very young to have been teaching in secondary schools for over three years already. She also holds a diploma from the Chartered Society: of Physiotherapy, which proâ€" fession she can follow if she chooses. Personal friends of Miss Thomson are teaching in all corners of the globe, including Canada, South Africa, New Zealand, Egypt and India. Miss Thomson finds Timmins much more rugged than Southern Ontario, and the great mixture of nationalitits uphere amazes her, "Timmins is very cosmopolitan," she remarked. "At home if we had even one girl of foreign extraction in a class it was most unâ€" usual; here I find such a variety of nationalities. It is most interesting to work with these mixed groups, howâ€" ever, and a great experience for me.‘" The rest of Canada appeals to Miss Thomson, with the west coast, Banif and our famous Rockies topâ€"ranking on her list. She would like to sail from and South America to complete her New York and also travel in México experiences on this side of the world. The inability to teach physical trainâ€" ing is one drawâ€"back of our climate, Miss Thomson feels. In England she says it is possible to take the classes outdoors almost every afternoon the year round. Speaking of teaching during the stress of war, Miss Thomson said, "We had one term that was quite exciting ; the "doodle bug" (pilotless ‘planes) came over practically all the time, day and night. We got accustomed to them however. The school children were left to sleep in the.dormitories during the raids, which practise was thought much more beneficial to them than disturbâ€" ing their rest. The St. Margaret‘s Convent Nuns were in charge of the school and were very kind and symâ€" pathetic in consoling and quieting the youngsters. During the" first part of these raids the attendance at the school had depreciated greatly as the area was a fairly dangerous one, beâ€" tween London and the coast, but as time went on the children returned to the school." ) N) AQA Ab Ak) 1J VY L U MISS KAY .O‘BRIEN "Joint. hostesses at a surprise showâ€" er on Monday evening honouring Miss Kay O‘Brien of Sturgeon Falls were THE Misses ‘Rita Prest,â€" Irene Merla and Armandina Romualdi, held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Prest.

Kay was very surprised also to receive miscellancous linen A feature of our way of life that conâ€" fuses Miss Thomson is the using of the rightâ€"hand side of the road as the right of way. ~Needless to say, she is delighted with the easeâ€"with which we can obtain‘ food®and clothing. In her own words, Miss. Thomson .expresses the situation, "Of course, I find the food supply amazing over here, particâ€" ularly the fruit, which was what I missed most during the war years. The wonderful variety of all types of clothing that is obtainable, and without coupons, tempts ime exceedingly. I could just wander into a shop and buy everything in sight." | On being questioned about her opinâ€" ion of the Canadian people as a whole, Miss Thomson said she found us very friendly and outspoken, and felt that one could get to know and understand a Canadian much more quickly than an Englishman. Having secured a teaching post in Canada through an agency which arâ€" ranged positions for teachers in foreign lands, Miss Thomson came to Canada to accept a post at a private school in Cobourg, Ont., Hatfield Hall. The large number of extracuricular activâ€" ities and duties that she was expected to .undertake there prompted her to apply for the position she now holds at the T. H. and V. S. here. The trip across was very interesting for Miss Thomson, as she was the sole passenger aboard a cargo boat, the only vessel on which she could book passage. Upon arriving in Montreal she found that it was an extremely foreignâ€"appearing place. New Zealand was Miss Thomson‘s orâ€" iginal goal as a place to start her world travels, but she considered the distance ‘from her native land and deâ€" cided that Canada would be much closâ€" er to home, and 5o Canada it was. Miss Thomson was born in Aberdeen, Scotland, but at an early age moved to Southampton, Hampshire, England. For three years prior to coming to the Dominion she taught at a boarding and day school in Bast Grinstead, Sussex. Timmins has the honor of being chosen by still another Englishwoman as a desirable town in which to pursue her profession, that of teaching. Miss Evelyn Thomson arrived in Timmins a few weeks ago to take over the inâ€" struction of girls‘ physical training at the Timmins High and Vocational School. FOOD SUPPLY AMAZING ENG. TEACHER FINDS .
