How to terminate a thread with the OnStop Method (C#)

Question

I have a a thread I am trying to stop in the OnStop method, could someone demonstrate how you could terminate / stop a thread with it:

    /// <summary>
    /// OnStop: Put your stop code here
    /// - Stop threads, set final data, etc.
    /// </summary>
    protected override void OnStop()
    {
        base.OnStop();
    }

Taking into account, that is start like follows:

    /// <summary>
    /// OnStart: Put startup code here
    ///  - Start threads, get inital data, etc.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="args"></param>
    protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
    {
        Thread MyThread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(MyThreadStarter));
        MyThread.Start();

        base.OnStart(args);
    }

    private void MyThreadStarter()
    {
        realtime obj = new realtime();
        obj.Starter();
    }
