• Notes

  Letter of recommendation (original in possession of Susan Young) respecting Minnie Hill was written by The Children's Aid Society of the County of Welland, Matron, Mrs. Levi Chambers, on 30 June 1936 as follows: "To whom it may concern:- Mrs. Victor Hill has been an employee of the County of Welland Children's Aid Society, for the past nine months in the capacity of Assistant Matron. We have found her honest and trustworthy, a good cook and economical in the kitchen. I have found her faithful to duty and willing and congenial to work with." Information obtained from Dorothy Hardman and Edith Owlett: When Minnie and her family first arrived in Canada they took a house off of Davenport Road on Symington Avenue near the intersection with Lansdowne Avenue. Neither cousin was able to tell me just when Ada Jane "Lillian" moved with her new husband, Luke Owlett, to the property at 251 Silverthorne Avenue but they did recall that Minnie and Victor lived on Symington until their first daughter, Doris, was about 3 years old. At that time, sometime during 1920, Victor took a job as a stable hand at Havergall College for girls and moved his family out to Glengrove Avenue. The house number could not be remembered and the directions are a little hazy: "off Yonge Street, near Gray Road with Lawrence Avenue just behind them and Woburn in front of their house". It might be that Woburn formed a T-junction with Symington at their house or that the street names have been re-assigned since that time as, now, the only street with Glen as part of its' name that sits between Woburn Avenue and Lawrence Avenue West is Glengarry Avenue. From the Toronto house, of which I happened to have the antique main dining room fixture, the family moved to Wainfleet, Ontario, then to Silverdale, Effingham and finally into St. Catharines circa 1940. The family lived in Silverdale between 1931 and 1939, and in Effingham for a short time 1939-1940 before moving into St. Catharines. RESEARCH-TASKS: 1.

By nature, you are very energetic and high-spirited. You are fiercely independent -- you must be first in everything you do, and you enjoy taking risks. You are the one who will rush in where angels fear to tread. Quite brilliant at initiating new projects, you are terrible at following them through to completion. You are an enthusiastic leader but you tend to be a reluctant follower. Often you are quick to anger, but you usually recover just as fast, regretting later things you said when you were upset. One of your best traits is that you are simple and direct, blunt and honest -- just be careful you do not hurt others' feelings. Your need to be competitive at all costs may provoke resistance from others, but, as long as you maintain your usual Sunny good humor, this should not prove to be a major problem for you. Moon is in 11 Degrees Aries. High-spirited and courageous, you are a fighter when your emotions are aroused. The degree of force and drive that you can bring to any effort sometimes surprises others. You have hair-trigger reactions to specific stimuli and tend to "let it all hang out." You sometimes act before you think and do things on the spur of the moment, and that sometimes gets you into trouble. Your moods change quickly -- you have quite a temper, but you don't hold grudges. Very independent, with an extremely strong and forceful personality, you are known for being impulsive, careless, reckless, foolhardy, rash and daring. Mercury is in 19 Degrees Pisces. Your ideas and thought processes do not come to you in an orderly, logical fashion. Instead, you think with your feelings or with images produced by your rich and fertile imagination. A very subjective person, your dreams and fantasies are very important to you. You trust your intuitions and tend to reject ideas that are based solely on logic. Very impressionable, you are sensitive to the moods and emotional states of those with whom you come into contact. Venus is in 17 Degrees Taurus. You are known to be a warm and affectionate person, and you tend to form long- lasting attachments. The reverse of this is that you can also be quite possessive once you have made a commitment. The beauty, luxury and comfort of your surroundings are important to you and you will devote much time and energy to making your home just right. Beware of your tendency toward self-indulgence, especially with respect to eating incorrectly. You also need outside stimuli to get you in gear When things come too easily for you, you can be lazy and indolent. Mars is in 01 Degrees Taurus. Careful, slow and thorough about all that you do, at times you are also willful and stubborn when others try to alter your course. You are definitely not a quitter -- you will work long and hard to get what you want. Your possessions are very important to you. One of your continuing problems is that you tend to regard the significant people in your life much the same way as you do your possessions -- you become overly attached and much too jealous. You repress your anger when you get upset and that is not healthy. Try to learn to show your anger immediately in order to avoid painful explosions later. Jupiter is in 07 Degrees Capricorn. You tend to feel that the only results that are worthwhile are the results that are concrete and demonstrable. You distrust abstract solutions and appreciate measurable achievements. An excellent organizer and planner, you are optimistic as well as practical and realistic about what can and what cannot happen. Very responsible, you consider it a personal weakness to be wrong about anything. This makes you appropriately cautious. You are very efficient but you tend to be cool and detached. Saturn is in 13 Degrees Leo. Extremely self-reliant, you set very high standards of conduct and decorum for yourself, and you expect others with whom you associate to be that way, too. It is important that you had a strong father figure or role model early in life to mold your life course and direction. When you feel that those around you are unworthy or behaving badly, you withdraw, preferring solitude rather than associating with those who might besmirch your reputation. Uranus is in 20 Degrees Libra. You, as well as your entire peer group, have a very free, unstable and unconventional approach to relationships and emotional commitments. You will be attracted to experiments in marriage and shared lifestyles. Personal freedom is more important to you than entangling emotional bonds. In the realm of art and aesthetics, you are attracted to the bizarre, shocking and unusual. Neptune is in 00 Degrees Gemini. You, and your entire generation, are attracted to various types of mystical and abstract literature and philosophy. You are interested in broadening your intellectual and spiritual horizons. But beware of a tendency toward mere dabbling -- there may come a time when you will have to take a stand. The desire to immerse yourself in metaphysical speculations may stem from a fear of involvement in the gritty necessities of the mundane world. Pluto is in 04 Degrees Gemini. For your entire generation, this is a period of far-reaching and profound breakthroughs in the ability of people to communicate with each other. During one such period, at the turn of the Twentieth Century, the appearance of the telephone, the automobile and air travel ushered in the global village. N. Node is in 17 Degrees Cancer. You genuinely enjoy meeting other people, but you're at your best if you can do so from the comfort of your own home. You prefer others to come to you and tend to feel uncomfortable about leaving your home or neighborhood for any extended period of time. Those who do come in contact with you are struck by your caring and obliging nature -- you really make them feel at home. You form the closest ties, however, with members of your immediate family, especially your parents and children. You're at your best attending or organizing family reunions!
